ARJ21 and Chinese expansion plan

The COMAC ARJ21 (Xiangfeng - “Soaring Phoenix”) is a regional jet passenger aircraft created by the Chinese corporation COMAC in the mid-2010s. In this video, we take a look at this aircraft, learn about its features, walk its journey and discover what role it should play in China's plan to win its place in the global civil aviation market.
The history of birth of this aircraft turned out to be long and complex. The project was initiated back in 2002, but its implementation was significantly delayed. The ARJ21 made its maiden flight in 2008 and began entering airline fleets only in 2016. However, despite the initial difficulties and delays of the project, the aircraft began to be actively produced and supplied to airlines, both Chinese and foreign. The ARJ21's potential lies not in technology and modernity, but in simplicity and low cost, which could make it popular in developing countries.
