During a December 2007 visit to China to share information about civilian aircraft costs, a delegation from IDA visited the Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Facility where the commercial chinese ARJ21 flight test aircraft was being assembled. The ARJ21 is a DC-9-sized civilian passenger aircraft with first flight currently scheduled for late 2008. This document describes the delegation's observations about both the facility and the aircraft they saw. It also explains what delegation members learned about the design, manufacturing, organization, and management of the ARJ21 program.
