COMAC's CE-25A Spotted in Photos: Ten Ducted Fans, 19 Seats, No Announcement

Two photographs of a red-and-black aircraft marked CE-25A and B-0EFH circulated on Weibo on 28 October and became 'the national team's electric airliner'. The concept is real — COMAC showed a 19-seat, all-electric commuter as a model in 2023 — but the manufacturer has said nothing, no flight is confirmed, and the battery behind the claimed range has never been officially named.
