The problem is ARJ-21 is just liked LCA Tejas for IAF. A stepping stone to something better. ARJ-21 has many disadvantage compare to peer categories like poor fuel consumption and heavier but this is first time China designing a modern jetliner that put to service. There is sure alot of obstacles.
Nevertheless, C919 will be a different beast. It is a modern jetliner learn from the experience from ARJ-21 which has superior fuel consumption and lighter weight when compare to peer like Airbus and Boeing. China are pinning a lot of hopes on C919 that can really capture the market.
Is that means ARJ21 still got major problem?
I believe the focus of COMAC should be on ARJ21 instead of C919 since ARJ21 is the real plane can be put into market by now.
