These are very colourful pictures, very nice!
We don't know though how much it is filled inside, it would be sad to see the B787 story be repeated (rolled out as there was strictly nothing inside, and FF occuring a few years thereafter......)..
Could the C919 make it maiden flight still this year?..

Looks really nice! I especially like the winglets - looks elegant!

I think the airplane is empty on the inside. The airplane systems were due to arrive in October (2015) and there's no way that Comac could have integrated all systems within a month.

The front part The mid rear part The nose The front of rear part The back of rear part Instructions not clear. I'm calling IKEA for further assistance in putting it all together... But where is the static test frame? Are they going to put that thing in the air without doing the minimum load tests??? I suppose they have a static test frame, but decided it was not glamorous enough to show ...

You can see in the close up headshot that there are no probes installed. The engine pylon looks incomplete and the window shades are probably pulled down for a reason.
