The Comac C929 is a planned long-range 250-to-320-seat wide-body twinjet airliner family being developed by Chinese Comac, to challenge the Airbus and Boeing duopoly.
The programme was previously developed by CRAIC (China-Russia Commercial Aircraft International Corporation), a joint venture between Comac and Russian UAC, and the aircraft was formerly known as the CRAIC CR929. Following tensions and disagreements between the partners and uncertainties linked to international sanctions on Russia, Comac is continuing the programme independently of UAC.
