The Comac C939 is a planned long-range wide-body twinjet airliner family being developed by Chinese Comac as a competitor to the Boeing 777X and Airbus A350.[1] It is designed to be larger than the other two models in its domestically produced aircraft line: the Comac C919 and Comac C929.[1]
Design
[edit | edit source]In May 2024, the designs for the C939 were reported to have a capacity of four hundred to five hundred seats and a range of 7,000 nautical miles [nmi] (13,000 km; 8,100 mi).[3] The C939 is expected to be a twinjet.[3]
Development
[edit | edit source]In June 2011, Comac was studying the 290-seat wide-body C929 and 390-seat C939 extra-wide-body aircraft.[4] Preliminary plans for the C939 were mentioned in Chinese newspapers in 2015 and 2017.[5]
In May 2024, South China Morning Post reported that Comac had started work on the C939.[1][2]
