In the popular opinionChina and RussiaWhen the CR929 project was about to failChina and RussiaThe cooperation between the two countries gave us a big surprise. Recently,China and RussiaThe issuance of the Joint Communiqué of the 28th Regular Meeting of the Prime Ministers, announcedChina and RussiaActively promote the joint development of long-range wide-bodyAirliners, heavy-dutyand other cooperation projects in the field of aircraft manufacturingChina and RussiaJointly developed wide body largeAirlinersRekindle hope.
Although there was some hesitation on the part of the Russian side before, we understand this given the current situation in Russia. There have been some previous indications that the CR929 project may be cancelled, one of the reasons being the renaming of CR929c929。CR929 isChina and RussiaInternationalA wide-body project launched by Commercial Aircraft LLC in 2016AirlinersR&D projects, where "C" and "R" are respectivelyChina and RussiaThe English acronym of the country, "9" meansChina and RussiaThe cooperation is far-reaching and long-lasting, and "2" refers toChina and RussiaThe two national enterprises go hand in hand. But when the English letter "r" was removed, the news of Russia's withdrawal seemed to be confirmed. The second reason is that Russia has suffered unprecedented sanctions from the West due to the Russia-Ukraine conflictChina and RussiaThere was a change in the cooperation project, and the Russian staff suspended the relevant cooperation. However, nowChina and RussiaThe progress of joint research and development showsChina and RussiaThe CR929 project is being actively promoted.
Some people may wonder that China already has its own research and developmentc919, why should it be jointly developed with Russiac929What about it?This can actually be explained by a simple analogy:c919InaviationThe field is considered a small car with a small fuel tank, andc929It is a large bus with increased endurance. c929YesaviationThe only way for the manufacturing industry to move towards a higher end of the field. For China, R&Dc929It is the key to further upgrading the industrial chain, successfully entering the wide-body aircraft market and increasing the diversity of product lines. At the same time, participating in the development of wide-body aircraft can also allow China to accumulate relevant high-endaviationmanufacturing technology, improve their own technical level, and lay the foundation for subsequent independent research and development of aircraft. By cooperating with Russia, it is possible to make it possible toInternationalon the liftChina AirlinesThe popularity and influence of the industry helped to break the West in a wide bodyAirlinersMonopoly in the market, for the worldaviationThe transportation industry brings a new competitive landscape.
For Russia,c929The project is also of great significance. The Russian side previously launched a domestic wide-body largeAirlinersIl-96-400m", which came as a surprise to the outside world. But actually, RussiaaviationThe revival of industry is not an innovation and a breakthrough, but an attempt to recover it in "archaeology".USSRThe splendor of the period. However, after many years of development, the level of technology in Russia has not been restored in a number of areasUSSRPeriod. Independently developed by the Russian sideIl-96-400m embodiedUSSRThe disadvantages of the industry, due to the fact that it was originally used as a military aircraft and not as a civil aviationAirlinersThe design leads to high fuel consumption, complex body structure, high maintenance cost, and is difficult to use in civilian useAirlinersField competition. InvolvementChina and RussiaCooperativec929The project can be used not only for RussiaaviationIndustry brings new vitality and business opportunities, and can also share China's progress in materials science, electronic devices, and other fields through cooperation with China, and promote the two countriesaviationTechnical exchange and cooperation. This is very important for Russia, and it is also beneficial for Russia to enter Asia and even the worldaviationmarket, increase the competitiveness and market share of products.
However, after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the West cut off Russia's key components ** to RussiaaviationIndustry has had a big impact. This was also the previous suspension by the Russian sideChina and RussiaOne of the reasons for cooperation is in case Russia's own problems affect the important cooperation between the two sides. However, China is also actively developing advanced large bypass ratios independentlyAero engines, forc929Alternatives are offered.
China and RussiaThe central technology of cooperation may be tilted towards China, which will deepenChina and RussiaThe economic and technological ties between the two countries have led to closer cooperation in the relationship between the two countries.

All in allChina and RussiaJointly developed CR929 project pairChina and RussiaIt is of great strategic importance for both countries. Through cooperation, economic development and technological exchanges between the two sides can be promoted, and at the same time for the worldaviationThe industry has brought about a new competitive landscape. Although the CR929 project has faced some difficulties before, it now seems that the two parties are actively promoting cooperation, paving the way for the successful realization of CR929.
