New 800-Passenger Aircraft Under Development in China
September 11, 2026
China is developing an ambitious aircraft that could carry over 800 passengers and fly at speeds close to 1,000 km/h. The aircraft will measure 43 meters in length with a wingspan of 85 meters, based on the Blended Wing Body design. Before constructing a full-scale model, tests have been conducted on a 1:52 scale model. The design aims to reduce aerodynamic drag, offering better performance and efficiency. The tests indicated satisfactory results regarding aerodynamic efficiency.
