When will the domestic large aircraft C919 be delivered?The third, looking forward to the moment
It will take time for China's self-developed domestic large aircraft C919 to be officially put into commercial flight, and more than a year has passed since the successful completion of test flight development.
As China's first self-developed domestic large aircraft, C919 has naturally received extensive attention at home and abroad, and it can be said that various information about C919 has also attracted the attention of domestic netizens.
Some time ago, it was reported that China Eastern Airlines had ordered four C919 aircraft, but only two were delivered, and the third C919 aircraft, which was originally scheduled to be delivered in early November, was also postponed. As soon as the news was announced, it also attracted widespread attention, and some people even speculated that there were problems.
The reality is that each aircraft goes through multiple rounds of test flights before being delivered and then inspected, so delivery delays are normal. Current reports indicate that the third-generation C919 aircraft has a provisional designation B001J and an actual registration number B919D.
Some time ago, the B919D completed a test flight in Pudong, taking off from Pudong, flying over the mouth of the Yangtze River, then taking off in Jiangbei, circling over Rudong, and finally returning to Pudong Airport from the launch site. Reports some time ago showed that the test flight of the B919D was very successful without any problems, which basically means that the C919 met most of the delivery conditions.
There are also industry experts who speculate that the third C919 will be delivered some time ago, and it may only need to be adjusted and optimized in terms of details.
Judging from the current news, the first two C919s have been officially put into commercial flights, and in the process of commercial flights, the performance is also very good, and many passengers are very satisfied with the C919. At present, the C919 aircraft has completed hundreds of flights, and tens of thousands of passengers have traveled on the C919 aircraft.
To date, the C919 has received more than 1,500 orders, and some time ago it also received an order worth $72 billion from China Eastern Airlines. In addition to the orders of many domestic airlines, C919 also has a good reputation among foreign airlines and has received orders from many foreign airlines.
However, it is worth noting that the annual production capacity of the C919 is around 50 aircraft, which is significantly lower than that of Boeing and Airbus. Some industry experts said that according to the number of orders received so far, C919 will basically have to complete the existing orders until about 2035, or even later.
According to this data, it is not difficult to see that the biggest problem of C919 is not in speed and quality, but in terms of production capacity, the current production capacity of C919 is also steadily increasing, but some experts believe that the basic layout still needs to be strengthened and improved.
Some industry experts said that the commercial success of C919 R&D is not the end, but the starting point, and C919 needs to be further developed both in terms of production capacity and experts. It's a long-term process that requires continuous refinement and innovation.
For the development of China's aviation industry, the successful development of C919 is indeed very important, which will not only help China's large aircraft achieve a breakthrough from 0 to 1, but also contribute to the sustainable development of China's aviation industry chain. This is also the reason why C919 can't be too big, and everything has to be smooth.
Today, China's self-developed C929 dual-aisle long-range wide-body aircraft has been officially designed, which means that China's domestic large aircraft has taken the second step. "C929 is of great significance for the development of China's large aircraft technology and production level, after all, the significance of long-range dual-aisle wide-body aircraft, whether it is higher than that of the aircraft, or the technical content of the aircraft is also higher. "Wang Jianmin, deputy general manager of Aviation Industry Corporation of China and chief designer of the C929 aircraft, said.
According to the development and performance of C919 and C929, it is not difficult to see that China's aviation industry has entered a stage of rapid development, which is not only due to China's breakthrough in the definition of domestic aircraft, but also thanks to the long-term accumulation of China's aviation industry.
Judging from the current situation, there are basically only a handful of airlines that can operate three fleets of narrow-body aircraft at the same time, which also means that with the addition of C919, large domestic airlines such as China Eastern Airlines are likely to choose C919 and Airbus aircraft to gradually reduce the number of Boeing narrow-body aircraft. This is expected to be very difficult for Boeing and will have a significant impact on Boeing's market share in China.
The delay in the delivery of the third C919 aircraft has attracted widespread attention at home and abroad, but in reality, it is quite normal and there is nothing to worry about.
