Predictable? The United States would rather pay 80 billion than interrupt the supply of C919 engine

With the continuous development of science and technology and economic level, airplanes have become a must-have choice for people to travel long distances. Recently, there is good news, it has changed the impression of Chinese aviation in the eyes of foreigners, C919 the first commercial domestic aircraft officially set sail, the emergence of domestic passenger aircraft represents China's aviation industry has officially started, the significance of the first flight is also crucial.

But the rise of China's aviation industry will inevitably cause dissatisfaction with some foreign aviation companies, the United States took the initiative to break the contract, the United States would rather lose 80 billion US dollars, but also to interrupt the C919 engine, so why the emergence of the C919 passenger aircraft will make the United States rather lose money than break the contract?

The development of domestic passenger aircraft in China.

In the early years, China's aviation technology development was not perfect, and it could only rely on foreign imported passenger aircraft, but the high amount of money made China realize the importance of scientific and technological development.

In the context of this crisis, the state has introduced a new policy to point out a direction for China's science and technology in the next 15 years, which of course also includes the implementation of the domestic large passenger aircraft project. In 2013, the country's total air transport volume was as high as 3500 million times.

It is fast and convenient, can give passengers a great time to save the journey, so that it is deeply liked by the people, but at that time China's aviation technology was in its infancy, although there were some achievements and technical breakthroughs, but still could not independently develop a domestic passenger aircraft belonging to China.

Finally, after more than ten years of research and development, China's first domestic passenger aircraft has been released, and China can already choose passenger aircraft overseas without high funds.

However, the first research and development is undeniable that the core components of China's domestic passenger aircraft come from foreign aviation companies, and not all components come from China, but the good news is that the localization rate of C919 passenger aircraft is as high as 60%, which is about 10% different from the localization rate of passenger aircraft in other countries.

Of course, China's pace of research and development of core components has not stopped, C919 passenger aircraft is a completely independent research and development of passenger aircraft in China, of course, in technology and some functions can not be compared with some famous foreign aviation companies.

However, this passenger plane shows a breakthrough in China's industrial industry, and at the same time, it is also an important criterion for judging China's scientific and technological development and comprehensive capabilities at home and abroad. So why does our country independently develop passenger aircraft?

In fact, the purpose of China's independent research and development of passenger aircraft is the same as that of many industries, that is, to break through the technological monopoly brought to China by foreign countries. The core components of the C919 airliner are all sourced from abroad.

But it is basically localized, so as to attract more and more leading enterprises at home and abroad to cooperate, and lay a strong reputation for domestic passenger aircraft.

Moreover, it can also promote the C919 passenger aircraft to the international market, so as to enhance the popularity of China's domestic aircraft, and China's aviation technology will become stronger and stronger in the future, and it can wrestle with foreign aviation technology to achieve 100% localization.

The United States would rather break the treaty and pay reparations.

In fact, in 2020, the United States already wanted to cut off the engines supplied to China. Before China and French Airbus were an order for passenger planes and ***, at that time, the United States jumped out and shouted for China to buy Boeing planes, otherwise it would cut off the engines supplied to China.

For China, whether the United States will cut off the engines supplied to China is actually not of much impact. China has developed a domestically produced engine, and it has been installed in a civil airliner for test flights, and it has performed well, even better than the American engine in many aspects.

This shows that the research and development of domestic engines has made a phased breakthrough, and it will not be long before foreign engines can be replaced and localized.

What about the United States, the United States just wants to rely on its hegemonic position to suppress China, but China is not afraid of these at all, just like the chip semiconductor industry, China will not yield to US sanctions, but take advantage of this crisis to turn the danger into a disaster, concentrate on research and development technology, achieve technological breakthroughs, and open up overseas markets.

And Boeing has also said that China will become one of the largest aviation markets, overseas aviation companies may choose to suppress China with the United States, but the possibility is not large, because no country can achieve 100% localization, all need other countries' exports, so overseas countries should avoid dealing with China, choose to wait and see.

The emergence of the C919 passenger aircraft represents the beginning of China's aviation technology, and it has brought confidence to China's industrial manufacturing industry. Although the core technology of the C919 passenger aircraft comes from abroad, its localization rate has been as high as 60%, which is quite different from foreign countries.
