The CF34-10 engine assembly returned to where it all began—Durham, North Carolina with the first -10A engine shipping out last month.

The first commercial flight of China's Chengdu Airlines' CF34-10A-powered ARJ21-700 took place today, flying from Chengdu to Shanghai. The ARJ21-700 is the first indigenous Chinese regional jet developed and manufactured by Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, Ltd. (COMAC).

COMAC celebrated the delivery of the first ARJ21 yesterday to launch customer Chengdu Airlines during a special ceremony in Shanghai, China.
