By Wang Wen | China Daily | Updated: 2015-11-03 08:49

Experts say the successful development of the C919 airliner - China's first domestically built large passenger aircraft - could spark the creation of a nationwide aviation industry.

Commercial Aircraft Corp of China, or COMAC, showed off the first of the twin-engine planes in a ceremony at its Shanghai factory on Monday.

Since its launch in 2008, the C919 project has so far created 16 separate joint ventures, to supply various parts and systems for the narrow-bodied aircraft, such as its wheels and brakes, electronic flight controls and entertainment systems.
