Which of the 3 countries in the world that have the ability to manufacture large passenger aircraft?
When talking about countries around the world that have the capacity to build large passenger aircraft, we cannot fail to mention the United States, France and China. Among them, the United States owns Boeing, which represents the 747 airliner, while France owns Airbus, which represents the A380.
In China, we see COMAC leading the manufacturing of the C919.
From the establishment of the "Yun-10" aircraft independently developed by China in 1970 to the first commercial passenger flight of the C919 in 2023, the "big aircraft dream" of the Chinese has passed through 53 spring and autumn.
As far as the C919 is concerned, it has taken more than ten years from the development and tackling of the first commercial passenger flight to today.
Russia's United Aircraft Corporation, Brazil's Embraer and Canada's de Havilland also have the capacity to build large aircraft, but they can only make regional jets at the moment.
This shows how difficult it is to build a large passenger aircraft. Although Japan had tried to develop a large passenger aircraft on its own, due to technical difficulties, they finally declared the development a failure.
For China, the C919 passenger aircraft is highly anticipated, and it is expected that it will obtain the airworthiness certificate as soon as possible, which will become an important milestone in China's aviation manufacturing industry.
