Farnborough Airshow welcomed the B777x and B737-10.

Farnborough International Airshow has welcomed the new Boeing 777-9 and Boeing 737 MAX. The Boeing 737-10 will make its international debut alongside the 777-9 in the daily flying static display.

From July 18 to 21, the 737-10 will be on exhibit. The 737 MAX family’s largest member will provide operators higher capacity, improved fuel efficiency, and the greatest per-seat economics of any single-aisle aircraft. The 737 MAX family, which has received over 3,300 net orders, has superior aerodynamic design and exceptionally efficient engines that reduce fuel use and emissions by 20% and noise footprint by 50% compared to the planes it replaces.

The Boeing 777-9, which has already flown at the Dubai and Singapore airshows, will make its third appearance at the Farnborough International Airshow. This is Boeing’s most anticipated airliner, and it will take over the legacy of the Boeing 747. The 777-9, the world’s largest and most efficient twin-engine jet, will be on exhibit from July 18 to 20 at the airshow. The 777-9, which is based on the most successful twin-aisle aircraft, the 777, and advanced technologies from the 787 Dreamliner family, would consume 10% less fuel, emit 10% less pollution, and have 10% lower operating costs than competitors. Over 340 orders for the 777X series have been received from prominent operators across the world.

The 737-10 will make its international premiere with the 777-9 in daily flying and static displays. The planes, each of which is the most fuel-efficient in its class, will fly to the exhibition using a sustainable aviation fuel blend, which Boeing sees as a crucial lever for further cutting carbon emissions. In addition, the business will present a modelling tool that will provide practical insights on solutions that the aviation sector may employ to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

Boeing 777x aircraft has already received numerous orders from various countries; this aircraft is also available in freighter configuration, making it more advantageous for airliners. On the other hand, the Boeing 737 Max is awaiting additional FAA certifications before being released into the market.

We hope that by the end of the year, the optimum time for the Boeing 737-10 will have begun, and that the Boeing 787 will also receive permissions, most likely from holding manufacturing plants. According to the company’s announcements, the B777x will be released in 2025.

COMAC Unveils Plans for the C929 to Rival Airbus and Boeing

COMAC Unveils Plans for the C929 to Rival Airbus and Boeing

After the success of China’s first C919 aircraft, the country is setting its sights on developing a larger plane. COMAC (Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China) has officially confirmed plans to build a widebody aircraft, marking a significant step in its aircraft lineup.

Traditionally, Airbus and Boeing dominate the widebody aircraft market, with decades of expertise in developing planes and engines capable of carrying heavy payloads. China, which currently relies on imported engines, is now aiming to challenge these giants with its own widebody jet, the C929, designed to compete with the Airbus A350 and Boeing 777.

The C929 will be China’s first independently developed long-range widebody aircraft. It adheres to international airworthiness standards and boasts independent intellectual property rights. The baseline version is designed to seat 280 passengers and offers a range of 12,000 kilometers, catering to global demand for both regional and international air travel.

Russia, which also needs reliable narrowbody and widebody aircraft, could become a key customer for the C929. Additionally, China plans to target the broader Asian market as it continues to expand its aviation capabilities.

China’s aviation progress includes the ARJ21 (now called C909), a regional jet with 100 seats for shorter routes, and the C919, a narrowbody jet with 180 seats designed to rival the Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus A320. Both models have found increasing demand in the domestic market.

At China’s largest air show in Zhuhai, COMAC announced that Air China will be the launch customer for the C929 widebody jet, though details about order size and delivery timelines were not disclosed.

Other major deals announced by COMAC include:

  • Hainan Airlines: Firm orders for 60 C919 and 40 C909 regional jets.
  • Colorful Guizhou Airlines: 30 C909 jets, with 20 firm orders and 10 provisional agreements.

The C929, renamed from the CR929 after Russia withdrew from the joint development project in 2023, is expected to carry 280–400 passengers with a range of 12,000 kilometers, competing directly with Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner.

According to COMAC’s deputy general manager, Tong Yu, the first fuselage section of the C929 is expected by September 2027, with prototype test flights anticipated soon after.
