China's C919 passenger jet
Commercial Aircraft Corp of China (Comac) has taken its first orders for the C919 passenger planes from three domestic airlines and General Electric's leasing arm.
The orders are being seen as a vote of confidence in state-owned Comac.
The move may also mark a challenge to the dominance of Boeing and Airbus who have virtual control of the trillion dollar aircraft industry.
Comac guys expects to sell more than 2,000 C919s
According to estimates by Boeing, this segment of the market could be worth $1.7trillion over the next 20 years.
Can they make it ??
