China-developed commercial airliner C919 has edged a step closer to takeoff after the plane's developer put it through the first high-speed taxi test last Sunday morning at Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
The test started at 8:00 am and lasted for three hours.
The plane reached a top speed of about 248 km per hour, approaching the speed required for takeoff and landing.
C919's developer, the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, is expected to launch a test flight of the aircraft in the first half of this year.
The C919, designed to accommodate over 150 passengers, is a narrow-body plane. Its main rivals on the market will include Airbus 320 and Boeing 737.
The COMAC also plans to start developing wide-body aircraft in 2017.
