"Stunning landing in Singapore! The C919 has reached another milestone and welcomed the new hegemon of the global aviation market"
CCTV News reported that C919 shined at the Singapore Airshow! This is not only a shocking attack of domestic large aircraft, but also a milestone event in China's aviation industry! Imagine that this is the first time that a Chinese civil aircraft has crossed the country for overseas test flights, and this moment makes us excited! What does it mean that the C919 received by China Eastern Airlines has become the world's first domestically produced large passenger aircraft to be put into commercial operation? This means the rise of China's aviation industry and the take-off of China's large aircraft industry! This is undoubtedly exciting good news!
The success of the C919 is inseparable from the support and efforts of many parties. It is not only the maturity of technology accumulation, but also the technical support of Boeing in recent years. What's more, after the C919 was officially put into commercial operation, it showed amazing stability and safety, which made domestic passengers gradually recognize the quality of domestic large aircraft, and even began to consider going abroad to let the world see the power of Made in China!
The rise of China's aviation industry is not accidental. Our military aircraft manufacturers have long stood on the world stage, and the rise of civil airliners has long been doomed. As a major manufacturer of large aircraft in China, although the output value is not high at present, with the increase in demand, the future is promising! More than 300 aircraft need to be replaced each year, corresponding to the number of aircraft added around 2010. With the growing economic and trade relations between China and the central and western regions and ASEAN countries, the demand for domestic and international travel by air is bound to increase significantly.
The competitiveness of the C919 speaks for itself. First of all, it is far lower than Boeing, Airbus and other mainline single-aisle aircraft of the same level, and the cost performance is as high as one-sixth! Secondly, the design, manufacturing and testing of C919 have all been completed in China, and the localization rate has reached 60%, and it is expected to be further improved in the future! Thirdly, the supporting domestic engine "Yangtze River 1000A" has been successfully tested, and China's unique 5G air network is also being tested. These advantages will make the C919 easier to maintain and further reduce the operating costs of airlines.
What's even more exciting is that the overseas market prospects of C919 are broad. With the successful experience of China's high-speed rail and automobile exports overseas, it is an inevitable trend for C919 to go abroad. Last year, Indonesia and other countries have introduced ARJ21 regional aircraft, and the landing of the C919 at the Singapore Airshow will open a door for China's large aircraft in the international market. In Asian, African and Latin American countries, C919 will become the first choice for procurement, and even countries such as Japan, South Korea and Europe may be attracted to it. At the very least, it will make it impossible for Boeing and Airbus to ask for a high price in the short- and medium-haul passenger aircraft market!
In addition to C919, other areas of China's aviation industry are also making breakthroughs. The AG600M amphibious aircraft has successfully completed the low-temperature test and 4 flight tests of the three major systems, and the domestic 13-ton large-scale civil aircraft has also successfully carried out the first alpine test flight. These achievements indicate that the capabilities of China's aviation industry are improving as a whole, laying a solid foundation for future multi-aircraft deliveries.
In this era of information, every breakthrough in China's aviation industry deserves our great attention. The success of C919 is not only the rise of China's large aircraft industry, but also an important milestone for Chinese manufacturing to the world. It is believed that in the near future, China's large aircraft industry will be on an equal footing with world giants such as Boeing and Airbus, and contribute more Chinese wisdom and strength to the global aviation industry!
