Certification process of the CJ1000A has entered formal stage on April 26th!

Mass production could come as early as 2025!

Audit and acceptance process being called for CJ-2000AX -- the giant 80K lbs thrust turbofan intended for the C929! X-suffix means working prototype.

Possible that CJ-2000 are at the point it could be tested -- starting with ground, altitude and then flight :)

Extremely fast development!
