China's self-developed C919 large passenger aircraft is gradually moving towards commercial operation, and China Eastern Airlines has become the first customer in the world to order C919, purchasing 100 aircraft. This has made the United States a little nervous, as COMAC has accumulated orders for more than 1,000 C919s. Once the C919 begins commercial operations, Chinese airlines will reduce their demand for Boeing aircraft. After the Boeing plane crash in 2017, Boeing has so far failed to obtain large orders from Chinese customers. Rival Airbus, meanwhile, is making big gains and is planning to build a second aircraft assembly plant in Tianjin to meet the needs of Chinese customers. On the morning of December 9, COMAC delivered the third C919 to China Eastern Airlines, which is also an aircraft that has obtained airworthiness certificates and radio station licenses, which means that it is already qualified for commercial operation. It is believed that in the near future, China Eastern Airlines will incorporate the aircraft into commercial operation, and more Chinese people will have the opportunity to fly this large passenger aircraft independently developed by China.
From a technical point of view, the engine of the C919 comes from the LEAP-1C engine, a joint venture between General Electric of the United States and Safran of France. Although C919 has independent intellectual property rights, it is still inseparable from the support of the global industrial chain. Because of America's technological superiority, some are beginning to worry about whether American companies will use their engine technology superiority to put pressure on China. China's aircraft manufacturing industry is on the rise, but it still needs to deal with the challenges of a globalized industrial chain. COMAC's C919 orders have already exceeded 1,000, so Boeing will face greater market competition pressure. Reduced demand for Boeing aircraft in the Chinese market means that there may be an impact on the U.S. aerospace industry. In this case, American enterprises began to cautiously consider the aircraft engine of the C919 as a "hole card", which also caused concern. While there has not yet been a remote engine shutdown, the move suggests that U.S. companies are already preparing for the rise of the C919.
The rise of C919 not only represents the development of China's aviation industry, but also indicates that the global aviation manufacturing landscape may change. In the process of rising, China's aviation industry will face more challenges and opportunities. At the same time, the global aviation manufacturing industry will also usher in a new competitive landscape, which will have a profound impact on the development of the industry and the interests of consumers. China's self-developed CJ-1000A engine is making its mark, which may be an important milestone in China's aviation industry's move towards independent innovation. The CJ-1000A engine adopts advanced technology and design concepts, and has high fuel efficiency and environmental performance. In the future, it may become the engine of the C919 aircraft, bringing new development opportunities to China's aviation industry. The development cycle of an aero engine is longer than that of an aircraft, but China is advancing the development and validation of the CJ-1000A engine at an unprecedented pace.
If all goes well, the CJ-1000A engine may soon be equipped with the C919 aircraft, giving China's aviation industry a greater say in the international market. At the same time, the LEAP-1C engines in the United States are remotely shut down or refused shipments, which could be a loss for the United States itself. China will not only not increase the purchase of Boeing aircraft, but will also increase its efforts to independently develop aero engines to make the CJ-1000A engine land faster. This move may be a positive signal for China's aviation industry to the global market. For Boeing, if it wants to continue to secure orders in the Chinese market, it needs to show enough sincerity to China. And the U.S. also needs to think about whether to continue to block shipments or work with China to promote the development of the global aviation industryThe rise of China's aviation industry, as well as the potential impact of the CJ-1000A engine, deserves our in-depth attention. As a global industry, the development of the aviation industry will have a wide impact on countries around the world.
It is hoped that different countries can understand each other, cooperate for win-win results, and jointly promote the sustainable development of the aviation industry. This news deserves our common attention and thinking, if you have any views or ideas, welcome to leave a message and share. Because this is not only a topic of China's aviation industry, but also an important proposition for the development of the global aviation industry.
