The Comac C929 is an under development long-range 250-to-320-seat wide-body twinjet airliner by Chinese state-owned aircraft manufacturer Comac as a competitor to the Airbus A330neo and Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
The programme was previously developed by the CRAIC (China-Russia Commercial Aircraft International Corporation), a joint venture between Comac and Russia's largely state-owned United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), as the CRAIC CR929. Following tensions between the partners and uncertainties linked to international sanctions on Russia, Comac is continuing the programme independently of UAC.
