"Welcome on board of the C919 from Beijing to Shanghai,"or something like that, will the captain say in greeting his passengers from the cockpit of the Chinese C919 passenger jet, some time in the year 2016. Flying on board, too, is a true lightweight from Evonik: Rohacell rigid foam. This material helps Chinese aviation soar higher, thanks to reduced weight and lower CO2 emissions.
