Comac looks to 5G to boost aircraft development amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

China’s Comac has begun adding 5G infrastructure at its C919 test facilities as a part of an industry-wide effort to accelerate the development of its domestically produced narrowbody jet program, the company said Sunday. The move comes as engineering teams seek to gain confirmation of aircraft testing via a remote witness test platform to limit the movement of personnel amid the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
