In the past few decades, Boeing and Airbus have almost monopolized the global civil aviation commercial aircraft market, and civil aviation companies in every country cannot do without these two giants and have to spend huge sums of money to purchase their commercial aircraft.
However, with China's active layout in the field of commercial aircraft, this monopoly pattern is changing significantly, and the ARJ21-700 regional aircraft developed by COMAC has completed batch delivery, and many airlines such as Chengdu Airlines, Tianjiao Airlines, Jiangxi Airlines, etc. have begun to operate.
Even more remarkable,The C919 large aircraft, the first domestic jet trunk airliner launched by COMAC, officially completed its first commercial passenger flight on May 28, 2023It has become an important milestone in the field of commercial aircraft in China.
In just over half a year,COMAC has successfully delivered 4 C919 aircraftThis marks that China is gradually moving away from its dependence on Boeing and Airbus in the field of commercial aircraft, breaking its monopoly position in the global market.
According to the latest report from CCTV Finance,The C919 has now won more than 1,200 orders, and on the opening day of the Singapore Air Show, it has received an order for 40 C919 prototypes from ** AirlinesThis means that China has formed a considerable large aircraft industry chain.
It is worth mentioning that at 1:49 on February 17, 2024, the C919 large aircraft successfully arrived at Singapore Changi International Airport, marking that the C919 has the ability to fly long-distance internationally and laying a solid foundation for its wide use in the global market in the future.
In order to meet the needs of the market, COMAC is moving towards a new peak in the field of aircraft manufacturing and has set a plan to expand productionThe production capacity of the C919 large aircraft is expected to continue to gradually expand this year, achieving "how fast and good" production.
According to the official disclosure,In the next 3-5 years, COMAC plans to invest tens of billions of yuan to expand the production capacity of C919It lays the foundation for promoting China's self-developed large jet civil aircraft to occupy a larger share in the international market.
As planned,The annual production capacity of the C919 is expected to reach 30-50 aircraft in the next few yearsThis marks that COMAC has made significant progress in improving production efficiency and meeting market demand.
The emergence of the domestic large aircraft C919 will certainly have a huge impact on Boeing and Airbus, and the future may form a three-legged trend, Airbus executives have made it clear beforeIn the next 20 years, there will be three major aircraft manufacturers in the world.
On the one hand, the C919 has a relatively low **The latest catalogue unit price of C919 is 10.8 billion US dollars, about 77.6 billion yuan, showing that the aircraft is cost-effective and more competitive compared with similar products.
This advantage will greatly improve the procurement attractiveness of global airlines, promote the competitive position of C919 in the international market, and the 2024 National Civil Aviation Work Conference on January 4 clearly pointed out that in 2024, civil aviation will promote C919 domestic civil aircraft to go abroad.
On the other hand, the C919 excels in terms of comfortCompared to the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737, the C919 has a more relaxed cabin width, allowing passengers to enjoy more comfortable seating space, while the C919 has more cargo space, providing airlines with more space for commercial operations.
Then there is safety, which is also one of the core competitiveness in the field of aircraft manufacturing, and the C919 also shows obvious advantages in this regardBoeing's accidents in recent years have led to questions about its safety, and the C919, as a new generation of jet trunk aircraft, has been upgraded in terms of technology and materials.
It is understood that C919 has more competitive advantages from multiple perspectives such as safety, aerodynamics, and wind tunnel testing. Although the core components of the C919 are imported,However, it is believed that with the complete success of domestic large aircraft, there will be improvements in the future, injecting vitality into the rise of China's aviation industry.
The success of the C919 is a major breakthrough for China's aircraft industry, and its success is not only a technical victory, but also a symbol of China's aircraft industry's emergence on the global stage.
