China ’s domestic C919 large passenger aircraft Sunday (May 28) completed the first commercial passenger flight.The scholars of interviewees evaluated that on the occasion of the upgrading of the Chinese and Western science and technology war, the completion of the C919 for the first time that the COSCO marked the further self -reliance of China in the civil airliner industry. In the future, it may not only reduce the dependence on foreign related technologies, but also challenge the Boeing Boeing and French Airbus giants.Over the years of monopoly on the market.
Following the delivery of China Eastern Airlines in December last year, the world's first C919 Sunday performed flight MU9191 flight at 10:32 am, equipped with 128 passengers, took off from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport.
The flight landed at Beijing Capital Airport at 12:31, passing through the "water gate" symbolizing the highest etiquette of civil aviation, marking the official entering the civil aviation market, and also marking that China has opened up the huge large aircraft industry chain.
The French Embassy in China posted a post on the official Weibo on Sunday, congratulating C919's first commercial flights, saying that he was happy to see many French and European companies participating in China's independent large passenger planes.The post also called for openness and cooperation to promote common progress.
As a competitor, Boeing also posted on Weibo and "sincere congratulations" to China COMAC, China ’s COSCO, and C919.
Starting on Monday (May 29), China Eastern Airlines's first C919 will also implement normal commercial flights on the Shanghai Hongqiao -Chengdu Tianfu route.
C919 passenger aircraft is the first large -scale jet civil aircraft developed by self -developed and independent intellectual property rights. The maximum passenger capacity is 192, and the directory price is 653 million yuan (S $ 125 million).The most common Airbus 320 and Boeing 737 models in the aviation market.
This type of passenger aircraft was officially approved by the Chinese State Council in 2007. In May 2017, the first flight was completed.As of the end of 2022, C919 has received a total of 32 customers with 1035 orders.
China Eastern Airlines is the first customer of C919. In March 2021, five passenger planes are ordered. The second is expected to be delivered in mid -June this year, and the remaining three will also be delivered in two years.According to Chinese media reports, COSCO plans to increase the annual output of C919 to 150 within five years.
Zhu Ming, a special researcher at the Sichuan Normal University area and the National Institute of National Institute, pointed out in an interview with Lianhe Morning Post that chips and large passenger aircraft have always been the two most high -value products and technical pain points in China.
He evaluated C919's first COSCO, which not only continued to advance to the upper reaches of the industrial chain by Chinese manufacturing, reflects China's technological ambitions, but also broke the situation where Boeing and Airbus were monopolized by Boeing and Airbus for many years.
Although it is advertised as domestic aircraft and assembled in China, the C919 still highly relies on Western suppliers such as the French Steak Group, General Electric, Honeywell, Honeywell, etc., including aircraft engines and aviation electronics equipment.
Zhu Ming pointed out that China ’s domestic transport-20 large military transport aircraft, the fifth-generation hidden fighter J-20, etc., also used Russian engines, etc., and later switched to domestic engines.
He analyzed that after the integration capabilities of manufacturing large aircraft, China has now accelerated its independent research and development and can be used on the C919 series of civil engines to increase the localization rate and prepare for the worst situation.Once the Taiwan Strait is in crisis in the future, it may face the unpredictable supply of components.
C919 has not yet been awarded a model qualification certificate awarded by European and American aviation regulatory agencies, and has entered the international market slowly.
Industry publication Global Flying Asia Editor -in -chief Waldelon pointed out that before obtaining a license, "important international markets are closed for C919."
Zhu Ming judged that China's domestic domestic aircraft will have a huge demand for trunk aircraft in the next decades. Even if the C919 is not approved or not exported by Europe and the United States, there will be sufficient orders in China.He expects that the C919 may also be sold to developing countries in the future; the West is currently not one of the iron plates, and Europe is more likely to reach an agreement with China on civil aviation access.
Zhu Ming also analyzed that China's huge demand for passenger planes means that they must still be imported from the West. It is expected that officials will continue to implement order diplomacy and import more Airbus aircraft under China and the United States.
