SINGAPORE (Reuters) - The fourth prototype of China's home-built C919 narrowbody passenger jet completed its first test flight on Thursday, state media said, as the country pushes forward with a homegrown rival to Airbus SE <AIR.PA> and Boeing Co <BA.N> planes.

The test flight in Shanghai lasted for 1 hour and 25 minutes, the People's Daily reported on its Twitter account.

The third C919 prototype conducted its first test flight in December.
