Instead of CFM International LEAP 1C, other engines will be installed We have already written that COMAC is working on new versions of the C919 passenger airliner : a shortened version (Shortened Variant) with 140 seats and a longer version (Stretched Variant) with 210 seats. Now additional details have emerged about future aircraft. [caption id="attachment_85285" align="aligncenter" width="780"] COMAC C919[/caption] The fuselage of the COMAC C919 Shortened Variant will be shortened by 3.6 meters – to 34 meters. With 140 passengers accommodated in two classes, the flight range will be 3000 km. And this is a rather interesting point, since nothing will be changed except the fuselage (the wing will remain the same, the engines will be the same CFM International LEAP 1C as the regular version), but at the same time, a standard C919 with 168 passengers on board can fly 4075 km . The Shortened Variant will likely be used for cargo transport more than the regular C919. “Stretched” COMAC C919 will receive more powerful engines and an extended wing [caption id="attachment_85286" align="aligncenter" width="780"] COMAC C919[/caption] But the COMAC C919 Stretched Variant will be significantly redesigned. The fuselage will be lengthened by 7.4 m relative to the base model - up to 45 meters. This option will receive a different wing (extended) and an “improved engine” - the CFM International LEAP 1C will be replaced with something more powerful. The flight range in a two-class cabin configuration with 210 passengers on board will be 4,500 km. In the COMAC C919 line, the Shortened Variant will become a kind of analogue of the Airbus A319, and the Stretched Variant can be recorded as an analogue of the Airbus A321.

The deputy head of Rostec also noted that the main thing for the airliner manufacturer is to meet the needs of the domestic market. “ The priority today, of course, is supplies in the interests of Russia - we must first of all give “wings” to our own country. But in the future, we, of course, count on interest from abroad in both the SJ-100 and MS-21. The capacity of the domestic market is not unlimited, and this must be taken into account ,” said Vladimir Artyakov. Let us remind you that in accordance with the signed contracts, the first two SJ-100s should be delivered to Aeroflot by the end of this year, and Aeroflot should receive the first six MS-21s in 2024.
