Since the project was established in 2008, the C919 has been engaged for a full 15 years, and finally two have been put into trial operation.
But a dramatic scene happened, if we carefully study from the official information, we will magically find out: the LEAP-1C engine of the domestic large aircraft C919 and the Taihang engine of our J-16 actually have a common and distant ancestor——— the CFM56 of the Boeing 737 in the 70s of the last century!
Liu Daxiang, the designer of the 606 Institute that attacked "Taihang", took a group photo with the CFM56 core machine
The four LEAP-1Cs now equipped on these two C919s are certainly not domestic - and they are completely complete, and none of the parts are domestic.
LEAP-1C is a simple version of the civilian turbofan engine specially "customized" for China by GE of the United States and Safran of France.
Is it this one to reduce the distribution of goods, or we finally begged daddy to tell grandma to let the Americans relax, "Enzhun" put the first LEAP-1C finished product into the country, we are overjoyed, like the dragon king Bibao, banging gongs and drums and hanging banners for wide publicity.........
This is a great shame!
Shame on you!!
But this is also a cruel truth - you don't, what?
Before this, the Americans had ridiculed C919, saying that this aircraft has no Chinese goods worth mentioning except for the aviation seats made by the People's Republic of China, which is untrue and too absolute, but the vast majority of C919 core components must be imported, which is indeed true:
The avionics system is provided by Rockwell Collins in the United States,
The wheel/brake system is supplied by Honeywell USA,
The flight data recording system is a product of the General Electric Company of the United States,
The landing gear system is supplied by Liebherr Aerospace, Germany.
The engine is the American GE and the French Safran LEAP-1C ...
And so on and so forth, far from exhausted.
The doors of the C919 are all imported
It is said that we are working on a replacement scheme for imported engines, the old method - reverse mapping imitation of the original load.
The domestic code CJ1000A, and now it is being tested on the Yun 20, as for when will it be able to come up with a mature product, sorry: unknown!
You know, originally the United States and France sold us engines developed on the core engine in the 70s, so they were not at ease, and specially tailored to China.
If we take our experience in reverse manufacturing Taihang or Qinling in the past, to succeed, then at least 30 years to start.........
At that time, will it be the same as the sad "Qinling", which will be backward at birth?
Don't dare to imagine!
At the end of the article, or religiously bless C919!
It may be destined that Airbus' initials are A, Boeing is B, and our C919 is C, maybe this is a good sign!
In the past, the global aircraft market was monopolized by AB, and C919 was born, hoping that the future civil airliner market will be the world of the three giants!
