U.S. companies order Chinese C919, and Sino-US cooperation is strengthened
The C919 was a real success!The United States announced an order for 20 aircraft, and domestic aircraft also began to take off!
According to The Australian, there have been more than 1,000 orders for China's large aircraft C919 from airlines and leasing companies, and it is worth mentioning that one of the orders came from the United States, with GE Capital Aviation Services ordering 20 C919s for a total price of $2.2 billion.
This time, the Americans want to buy large planes from China, and they will buy 20 of them, and I have to say that this news is quite shocking. After all, China's C919 is still relatively young, especially since the United States has an aviation industry like Boeing"A century-old factory", so it stands to reason that there is no great need for General Electric Aviation to buy domestic aircraft in China.
So the question arises: what is the purpose of the US order for 20 Chinese aircraft?On this issue, I saw some domestic netizens saying: The purpose of the US order for the C919 is to dismember the C919 and obtain the main secrets of the Chinese aircraft. To be honest, this statement is too far-fetched, because whether it is antique or technological inheritance, there is still a gap between domestic large aircraft technology and the United States.
Secondly, the localization rate of domestic C919 is not 100%, and many technologies are actually dependent on the West, including American technology. For example, the core technology of the engine of the domestic C919, some of which come from the United States, and some of which use American-made parts, from this point of view, it is really not of much significance for the United States to disassemble the C919.
What's more, even if the C919 is really dismantled for investigation, there is no need for the United States to buy 20 at once, just buy two or three, the effect is the same, why spend more money?
Therefore, the author believes that the purpose of the US company's purchase of C919 from China should be purely based on commercial purposes. To put it bluntly, capital pursues profits, and this time American companies decided to buy C919 from China, they must have felt that the C919 purchased from China could meet their needs purely from the cost-effective and technical level.
Be that as it may, it has to be said that this is truly remarkable. You know, we are second only to Japan, in the development of large aircraft for more than 20 years, but now there is basically no voice, some time ago Japan Mitsubishi also announced the cessation of research and development of large aircraft technology, should have given up.
In the field of large aircraft, China started relatively late, and its technical background is not as strong as Japan's, but it is difficult to catch up, which is really impressive.
At present, on foreign **, the discussion about the Chinese C919 being ordered by the United States is particularly intense. Although China's large aircraft technology has not yet been able to achieve 100 percent localization, it has been able to win the favor of American companies, which is enough to show the strength of China's large aircraft technology, and China's upgrading speed in the field of science and technology is far beyond the imagination of the world.
In my opinion, the success of the domestic C919 is an extremely important milestone, which marks the take-off of domestic large aircraft, and also marks China's rooting in the forefront of science and technology!The future is promising!
