The duration of the flight was 30 minutes at the altitude of 1000 meters, at the speed of 300 km/hour.

Da...iz goood
What is interesting is,the airframe itself is all built in-house...UAC even makes airframe pieces for Airbus..also be interesting to see how those PD-14 engines stack up
The most interesting part for me is how composite wings end up working. PD-14 finished "second stage" of testing recently and got permission to be tested on MC-21, should be flying on it next year.
Where an 1980's designed A320 hull is wider than a 1955-designed 737 hull, this one is again wider than the A320. Plus flying with a much lower cabin altitude.
