After more than 200 hours accumulated in fl ight-testing, the H160 has demonstrated exceptionally low vibration levels along with remarkable aircraft stability levels, setting new benchmarks in the fi eld. Next steps of the fl ight campaign will focus on hot weather trials, to take place over the summer, followed by continued performance testing of the Arrano engines – now equipping both prototypes – as well as cold weather tests later in the year.

So when Mr. Li speaks, people listen. Recently, looking ahead at the economy in 2019, he said “it will probably be very complicated – everyone should be cautious”. You could literally hear the wallets being put back into pockets. Other industry giants in China have joined in.
