horizontal stabilisers for the iron bird were also delivered by Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing.
Comac announced in August that the C919's first flight has been pushed back a year to the end of 2015. The programme has entered the "most critical stage of engineering development" as detailed design continues. Aircraft structural data has also been distributed, while parts and components manufacturing is currently "in full swing" across at least five different Chinese cities.
