At the Singapore Airshow, the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac) announced advancements in its aircraft programs. Comac signed a letter of intent with Aviage Systems, a joint venture between GE Aerospace and Aviation Industry Corporation of China, to develop the core avionics processing system for its C929 widebody jet. Avionics are critical electronic systems for aircraft operation. The C929, comparable to Airbus A350 and Boeing 787, aims to carry up to 440 passengers and fly a maximum range of 12,000km. These developments are part of Comac's effort to compete with Airbus and Boeing in the global market for large commercial aircraft. Comac also reported deepened exchanges with clients at the air show.
