Steve Lien, Asia-Pacific president for Honeywell Aerospace, discusses Comac’s C919 passenger jet ahead of a first test flight later this month.

The Financial Times reports that Honeywell will supply the wheels, brakes and flight control systems for the C919 – a plane that will compete with the Airbus A320 and the Boeing 737 but which is badly behind schedule.
