Another company assuming they can build a jet by 2007. I won't believe it until I see it. Here is the "full" story:
---------------------------------------
BEIJING, June 23 (UPI) -- Chinese officials announced Wednesday their nation's first passenger plane with up to 100 seats is expected to make its maiden test flight in 2006.
Zhang Ju'en, with the China Aviation Industry Corp., said Chinese passengers may travel in the aircraft as early as 2007, the official Xinhua news agency reported.
The new airplane is designed to have 70 to 100 seats, and will be used on some of the country's domestic non-main lines, another report said.
The government has allocated $240 million for the project.
Zhang said the company has so far received 35 orders for the plane, which is still under development.
