The C919, China's first domestically developed large passenger aircraft, rolled off the final assembly line in Shanghai on Monday.
The plane, which aims to compete with the Airbus 320 and Boeing 737 globally, is ready for ground tests and is expected to make its maiden flight next year.
It took seven years for it to progress from the project launch stage to the rollout.
