The global large aircraft market has long been dominated by Boeing in the United States and Airbus in Europe. However, when China's C919 first came out, this pattern began to suffer a huge impact, which attracted widespread attention from the international aviation community. This article will dive into the story behind the C919 and why GM chose to buy the C919.
The birth of the C919 aircraft undoubtedly brought a new competitive force to Boeing in the United States and Airbus in Europe. When the C919 debuted, the United States and Europe took various obstruction measures to try to prevent this large Chinese-made passenger aircraft from entering the international market. They claimed that the C919's engines did not meet international route standards and refused to issue an international airworthiness certificate on this ground. However, discerning people know that this is just an excuse for them not to let the C919 break their monopoly in the market.
However, GM's every move was quite surprising. Although the U.S. government paid lip service to C919, it was very honest in practice. According to public information, the current order for C919 has exceeded a thousand aircraft, and General Motors of the United States has ordered 20 C919s for $2.2 billion. The decision sparked widespread speculation as to why GM chose China's C919 over its own Boeing aircraft or Europe's Airbus.
First of all, the C919 has a clear price-performance advantage. Compared to expensive Boeing and Airbus aircraft, the C919 is more affordable, and the performance is just as good, which is worth the money. For companies like General Motors whose priority is to maximize profits, cost reduction is a key consideration.
Secondly, the C919 brings together a number of advanced technologies, including the LEAP-1C engine provided by the United States and core components such as civil avionics, display systems, and avionics systems from General Motors of the United States. In addition, Honeywell provided key technical support for the C919 such as flight control systems and braking systems. The blessing of these advanced technologies makes C919 have a huge advantage in performance, which will naturally be favored by General Motors of the United States.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that General Motors of the United States is actually an important partner of the C919 airliner, providing it with key components such as engines. At the same time, China is also one of GM's important markets, and the purchase of C919 will help deepen Sino-US cooperation and provide more opportunities for GM's development in the Chinese market.
In summary, GM purchased the C919 for $2.2 billion for a variety of reasons, including cost-effective advantages, advanced technology and opportunities to deepen cooperation. However, whatever the reason, this decision is undoubtedly a sign that Made in China is gradually gaining more and more international recognition. The emergence of C919 has not only attracted the attention of the global aviation market, but also brought new possibilities for the development of China's aviation industry and the changes in the global market pattern. In the future, C919 is expected to continue to achieve more success and become a bright business card of China's aviation industry.
