C919 body lines smooth, the body from the design, calculation, testing, manufacturing, etc. are carried out independently by China. There are several major technological breakthroughs in aircraft design and development, such as supercritical wing, new material applications. Ye Wei pointed out: Some people say that it is a misunderstanding that this large aircraft mainly made a shell in China. Overall integration is one of the core technologies in the manufacture of large aircraft. As a major difficulty in the aviation manufacturing industry, the breakthrough in integrated technology is a sign that China's aviation manufacturing industry has made great strides.

Ye Wei said that in order to interface with international standards, this large aircraft is also a model of global cooperation. Its engines, avionics, flight control systems, etc. from a number of European and American joint ventures or sole proprietorship, suppliers, including the United States General Electric Company and Honeywell, can be described throughout the world.

Ye Wei said: "For China, the internationalization of large aircraft requires that we first step forward to make a strong airplane manufacturing power as soon as possible, and this must find a win-win situation with other countries through cooperation. For the European and American related enterprises, , Cooperate with China, seek win-win situation and get a broader market. "
