Tuesday's announcement came before the COMAC test flies the ARJ-21 regional jet which is supposed to happen before the end of this year. ARJ-21 is China's first indigenously developed and manufactured passenger aircraft. In December, it became the first plane made by the the production line in Shanghai. The COMAC was set up this May after approval early last year by the State Council, China's Cabinet. Headquartered in Shanghai, COMAC had a registered capital of 19 billion yuan ($2.78 billion). The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission alone invested 6 billion yuan, becoming the biggest shareholder. With the establishment of COMAC, China hopes to make itself capable of building aircraft with a take-off weight of more than 100 tons, or planes with more than 150 seats.
