The answer to that has to be, an emphatic no way!
Maybe not today but 10-20 years from now quite likekly

Yes they do, but , to be pedantic.on who was fist, it was not the P38, the hydraulic powered flight controls were invented and patented by Rene Leduc in France in 1937 and first used on its first ramjet fighter (Leduc 010)
The patent continued long after the manufacturer stopped its aircraft production in 1958 and it brought steady revenue to the the company for many decades.afrerwards. ( source Rene Leduc biography)

Isn’t this thing just a flying Patent Infringement?

People (mainly in the USA) said that about Airbus when they started out

It looks a nice aircraft on the face of it. The flight deck seems to have copied bits from both Airbus and Boeing and the avionics are supplied from the west. The side stick is pure Airbus obviously but the MCP panel looks more Boeing.

Does anyone have an English FCOM for it? Be interested to know how far the FBW has gone - does the pilot retain full authority or is it more Airbus? Looks like the thrust levers move unlike Airbus?

I suspect it may turn out to be decently safe but think I’d wait a couple of years before making a judgement.

You would be surprised but actually there are many. African carriers have placed 305 orders since 2010, 40 different carriers. Obviously it is less than RYR alone but it is still a number.

I suppose we’ll see, won’t we? It’s not that the Chinese are incapable of great engineering, innovation, or safety. It’s that they prefer to fake it, instead.

No surprise that Noel Philips over on youtube has managed to get a ride on the C919
