The international part suppliers for China's large commercial aircraft will be selected starting from the end of this year, a senior aviation expert said yesterday.
Priorities for contracts will be given to foreign suppliers that design and manufacturer products with domestic companies, said Feng Peide, a CPPCC member and deputy director of the science and technology commission for the Aviation Industry Corporation of China.
"The design and manufacture of engines, airborne systems and aircraft materials will especially need this kind cooperation," said Feng, who is also a member of the advisory panel for the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) in charge of the project.
