The demo mock-up
shows that the interior of C919 nose is designed in full
streamline, and the functions and colours of cockpit and
cabin all reveal and advanced “human-oriented”
design philosophy and the principle of “comfort”.
Some Chins
elements have been ingeniously adopted in designing such
details as the lock of luggage compartment, etc. The integration
of aviation technologies with modern aesthetics offers
a modern style and meanwhile highlights Chinese characteristics.

commercial trunkliner of which China owns the independent
intellectual property right. The baseline of C919 features
168 seats for all-economy class layout and 156 seats for
hybrid class layout.

The designed standard range is 2,200 nm and extended
range 3,000 nm, which enables it to meet airlines’
needs for operation on diversified air routes. Its designed
lifespan is 90,000 flight hours or 30 calendar years.
C919 trunkliner is designed and developed as per international
civil aviation regulations and airworthiness standards,
and will be airworthiness certified so as to ensure its
safety. Fuel burn and DOC are lower than currently in-service
aircraft of similar seats category, which makes it economically
favorable.
Comfort is improved by means of expanding cabin space
and seat width and also installing new airborne equipment.
New engine is selected to meet noise and emission requirements;
hence improved greenness. The C919 family will extend
from baseline version to stretched, shortened, freighter,
special and business versions.
