The completion of the first commercial flight of the domestic C919 large aircraft and the official start of the commercial flight mission, in a sense, is equivalent to the completion of China's aviation manufacturing industry from 0 to 1, and is also an important step in the development of domestic large aircraft. Judging from the current situation, the development process of C919 can be said to have exceeded the expectations of many foreign media, and 1,200 orders were obtained within less than a year of official operation.
The most important thing is that, judging from the news that has come out recently, the C919 large aircraft is accelerating the expansion of production capacity, and the delivery speed is getting faster and faster, and even COMAC has said that it will build four assembly lines and adopt intelligent production technology to increase the annual production capacity to more than 150 aircraft.
This also makes many people curious, after all, only five C919 have been delivered, and the annual number of deliveries is only about 13 to 20. An annual production capacity of more than 150 aircraft means that the production capacity will increase by about ten times.
The number of orders for C919 can be said to have grown very fast, and it has been less than a year since it was put into commercial flight operation, but the total number of orders has exceeded 1,200, and 200 new orders have been added since it was put into commercial aviation operation. There is no doubt that from the growth rate of orders at this point, it can be seen that C919 can be said to be very popular in the international market.
At the same time, it also has excellent technical support in the field of overall design and aviation development, which makes C919 lower consumption in terms of fuel consumption, and also has lower manufacturing costs, which also makes C919 recognized by many airlines, and even many foreign airlines are also very interested in C919.
Judging from the current public data, after China Eastern Airlines accepted the C919 large aircraft and put it into commercial flight operation, it has accumulated 3,200 hours of safety time so far, and the number of commercial flights undertaken has exceeded 1,130 times, and more than 140,000 passengers have experienced the safety and comfort of the C919 large aircraft.
Today, COMAC has announced that it will invest billions of yuan to promote the expansion of production lines and improve production efficiency. At the same time, with the successful research and development of the C919 large aircraft and the R&D of the C929 large aircraft, the domestic aviation manufacturing industry has also begun to develop rapidly.
We have made a lot of breakthroughs in the production of related composite materials and large and complex parts, and it can be said that more and more Chinese aviation manufacturing enterprises have begun to accelerate their own technology development. This also further promotes the domestic production rate of C919 large aircraft, from the current public data, the domestic production rate of C919 large aircraft is about 60%, and the value of domestic parts accounts for about 40%.
However, the mainland's domestic aviation engine and some other parts have made good breakthroughs, for example, our domestic CJ1000A engine has completed the test flight. This engine is the "Chinese heart" that matches the C919, with the acceleration of the development of the CJ1000A engine, once the C919 is replaced with the CJ1000A engine, the domestic production rate will be further improved.
There is no doubt that the mainland's aviation manufacturing industry has gradually caught up, whether in various core technologies or in terms of production capacity, in fact, there has been a lot of progress. The expansion of C919 production capacity is actually based on the development of the mainland's aviation manufacturing industry, which is why COMAC has the confidence to reach an annual output of 150 C919 large aircraft.
