China's C929 jet to use domestic CJ-2000 engine from the start
Original: c919
Chinese media are comparing the country's two wide- and narrow-body airliner projects. The C919 currently flies with the American-French LEAP engine, with a domestic replacement planned later, while the larger C929 is being designed from the outset around China's own CJ-2000 (Changjiang 2000) engine. Commentators see this as a sign of growing confidence in indigenous engine technology.
Why now: Interest in China's aerospace self-sufficiency push, with new discussion of how the C929 differs from the C919 in engine strategy.
