The C919 soared into the sky and successfully achieved the first commercial passenger carrying, but who knew that it caused a huge shock to the European Airbus.
According to Reuters, the acting executive director of the European Aviation Agency said in public that it could take several years for the C919 to be certified in Europe. This move is simply an "eviction order".
However, the European Airbus has gone from waiting for an opportunity to strangle, and this time I am afraid that they will miscalculate! So, why are we not afraid?
Not long ago, at the Singapore Airshow, the C919 large aircraft was unveiled, and it instantly gained the attention of the audience, whether it was the appearance display or the flight performance, the C919 performed well.
What Europe and the United States did not expect is that the C919 with excellent performance also has a very high cost performance and has won good orders in the air show, which is definitely a good news worth celebrating.
In fact, Europe and the United States have been paying attention to the trend of this C919, especially the European Airbus. Originally, they missed out on the opportunity to compete with Boeing in the United States for market share, and they had to work harder to catch up.
Some time ago, I finally took advantage of the weakness of the Boeing 737 MAX, and my business gradually boomed. At the critical moment, the C919 attacked strongly, which really caught European Airbus off guard.
So, I was ready to use the European and American "airworthiness certificates" to make things difficult for C919, but it soon became clear that we didn't seem to be afraid at all?
The reason for this is related to the strong hard power of C919 itself.
Since the last century, the dream of large aircraft has been one of the goals of every Chinese person. It's just that due to the conditions at that time, we were more on the difficult road of catching up with Boeing planes.
You know, it is not easy to develop a large aircraft, after all, after putting it into use, the responsibility of the large aircraft is heavy, and the requirements are more stringent, so it almost has to integrate the top technology from all over the world, which is difficult to achieve in the short term.
With the development of the times, science and technology are gradually evolving in the direction of high precision, which is a rare opportunity for domestic large aircraft. So, in 2006, Continental launched the project, and after decades of hard work, the C919 was developed.
As a narrow-body large aircraft, the C919 is benchmarked against the Boeing 737 and Airbus 320. In the aviation world, the 737 and 320 have accumulated word-of-mouth and loyal fans due to their long working life, due to the early first flight of the 737 and 320.
Moreover, they have a wide range of applications and are used all over the world. Anyone who has ever flown in an air is familiar with them, and may have experienced them firsthand.
It should be noted that due to the relatively long operation time, in order to adapt to the change of times, it has undergone several changes, large and small, even the latest 737 and 320 are only upgraded on the original basis.
Most of the design concepts on board are still from the last century, and if you look back from today's perspective, you will find that some of them are not up to date.
Take the classic Boeing 737 as an example, when it was originally designed, the R & D personnel never thought that it would need to be equipped with a more advanced engine in the future, which also led to its slight lack of power when competing with the same model, and once there was a system failure, it could also cause serious consequences such as aircraft destruction and death.
In contrast, our C919 has reached the top existence in the country from R&D personnel to scientific research technology. Including the equipment on board, the materials used and the power system are all first-class.
Not only that, but we've made significant progress in reducing the weight of our aircraft while reducing fuel consumption and fuselage drag, all of which we couldn't have imagined years ago.
For this reason, when compared with the Boeing 737 and Airbus 320, the light of the C919 becomes more and more dazzling.
There is also a very important reason, even if the European and American markets are cold, C919 is still backed by the Chinese market.
With the increase in travel demand and the rise in popularity of long-distance travel, people will give more priority to airplanes when choosing travel tools due to factors such as time cost. This also means that the future development trend of our civil aviation is very good.
Not to mention the Asian, African and Latin American regions, which are also the best stage for C919 to show its talents. After the Singapore Airshow, the performance of the C919 has also been praised by everyone, and many countries have also expressed their intention to cooperate, which makes people look forward to the bright future of the C919.
Their support and applause are the confidence of C919 to deal with it calmly without fear of obstruction from Europe and the United States.
Nowadays, the reason why Europe and the United States are in a hurry to issue an "eviction order" for C919 has actually exposed many problems.
The global civil aviation market has been gradually expanding, and the biggest beneficiaries are Boeing in the United States and Airbus in Europe. Among them, Boeing, which has a longer development history, occupies more than half of the market share, and the rest of the countries can only taste it.
Perhaps to most people, the way to make money in the aviation sector seems to be through the sale of aircraft. In fact, there is a complete industrial chain behind it, from airport construction to employment, involving many side branches, and the economic benefits generated are also very high.
In the past, Boeing and Airbus showed a two-pronged trend, and both had their own plans and imaginations for the Asia-Pacific aviation market. C919 came out of the air, and there was a kind of momentum that broke everything, which couldn't help but make them alarm bells.
Because, the C919 is not at all comparable to the Japanese aircraft MRJ.
A few years ago, Japan's Mitsubishi Corporation once shouted that as long as the MRJ project is still there, it will not be able to sell a single C919. Now it seems that they said it too early, otherwise they would not have imagined that MRJ would have finally gone to the road of being dismantled.
Japan's Mitsubishi seems to have failed to understand the key issues in this field, and only wants to pursue quick success. Splicing together various equipment systems leads to breakage and repair, making MRJ a huge gold-swallowing beast, and the whole project is a mess that is difficult to carry out, and it can only be declared a failure if there is not enough capital supply.
On the other hand, our C919 not only has been carefully polished after decades of research and development process, but also has many self-developed high-tech products, with a domestic production rate of up to 60%. In the future, if domestic core components can be equipped, perhaps this indicator will be raised to unimaginable heights.
What we need to do is to unswervingly take the road of independent research and development, overcome those high-tech that others have put on the shelf, and strive to move in a more advanced direction.
In fact, scientific researchers have always maintained an enterprising spirit and worked hard to study one difficulty after another. It should also be noted that our own aircraft engines are also being developed.
The successful development and mass production of the domestic aviation engine CJ1000 all show that perhaps in the near future, C919 does not have to worry too much about the engine supply problem, and the engine we independently developed is also good.
Therefore, C919 not only has a huge domestic market, but also has progressive science and technology, and can still calmly deal with the possible "strangulation" in Europe and the United States.
We have reason to believe that the C919, which has obtained the domestic "airworthiness certificate", will receive more support and purchase from friendly countries after being fully tested in practice. It is foreseeable that the C919 has a lot to offer in the future.
