Comment on "China-made civilian copter hits new height" (China Daily, Sept 6)

I'm happy to see China making this innovation. But the country should not rest on its laurels, and instead must continue its efforts in the field of innovation. It should focus more on advanced types of air carriers, not only helicopters.

It is important to have all safety measures in place and make sure air carriers are efficient as well as reliable. The authorities should value people's lives and security, especially when test-flying new fighter planes.

And like civilian air carriers, fighter planes should also be safe, reliable and efficient.
