The market of China and Russia and their allies/ friends are big enough for this jet.

@Deino can we merge the thread of C919 and C929 as Chinese commercial airliner development discussion.

And make it sticky
 
Can we modify C919 to serve as platform for AWACS?

Or ASW like P8I?
Yes I think China should embark on that journey. I think current C919(for civilian use) uses non-Chinese engines, which will not be allowed for use on a platform for military use.

So if China starts now figuring out the engine for C919(whether to use a currently existing Chinese engine or develop another one) and developing other ASW avionics...then by the time a P8 analogous platform(based on C919) is ready and mature not only China would induct it but there would be other countries that would want it.

Now C919 uses Leap x engine, in the future it will use CJ1000A domestic engine.
Look at the picture of CJ1000A, it will be installed on C919 soon.

In China there is an old saying:Golden house and silver house is no better than my thatch house.

And there is also a parallel military grade engine called WS20 is now under test on Y20, we will have two similar engine with different purpose at the same time.

A lot of works need to be done, a brilliant future lay ahead.
