The C919, a Chinese 174 seat aircraft designed to rival the 737/A320, made it's first flight this morning. You can see a video of it here:

Can this aircraft challenge Airbus and Boeing? The domestic market for it could be huge, but will we ever see any Western carriers order it?

I don't see why not if the price is competitive and the aircraft itself is on a par
