"The dream still has to be there, what if it comes true" This sentence is the true portrayal of the C919 large passenger aircraft ah our Chinese's "big aircraft dream" has finally come true, C919 this big guy soared into the sky, not only made Chinese manufacturing raise eyebrows, but also erected a milestone in the history of our civil aviation industry
Speaking of C919, it's really a "stubborn temper". The global civil airliner market has been dominated by Boeing and Airbus for many years. These two "big brothers" rely on their mature technology, service in place, and a large group of "iron fan" customers to occupy the market share. Our C919 doesn't want to play a supporting role, so it wants to make a "big havoc in the heavenly palace" and stir up this pool of stagnant water.
This "big plane dream" is not something that can be realized in a day or two. We Chinese have been holding back a lot of energy, and we have been thinking about this C919 project since 2007. You think this is a job of "sharpening a sword in ten years". For a whole decade, how many scientific researchers boiled their hair white, and finally in 2016, the "big guy" C919 successfully flew into the sky. This flight is incredible, which proves that we Chinese also have the ability to make a large passenger plane ourselves!
In 2022, the C919 finally got the "pass" - the type certificate. It was finally able to "go to the sea to do business" in a dignified manner. This is not a small fight, this is a big step for our Made in China, and it is also a "gorgeous turn" of our civil aviation industry!
It is not easy for the C919 to gain a foothold in the international market. Do you think that Boeing and Airbus, the two "old rivers and lakes", have played their prestige in the market for so many years, how can they be shaken so easily? C919 not only has to wrestle with others technically, but also has to deal with those "hidden arrows" in Europe and the United States - such as trade barriers or something. These "stumbling blocks" all need to be moved away slowly by our friends in the civil aviation industry.
C919 is also not vegetarian. It has its own "unique skills". Its price is very "affordable". Compared to the same type of aircraft as Boeing and Airbus, the C919 has a lot less zero on the price tag. This has attracted the attention of budget-conscious airlines. Besides, the C919 also pays special attention to passenger comfort. Sitting on the C919 is as comfortable as sitting on your own sofa. This is the "killer feature" of C919!
The success of the C919 is more than just an airplane. It is like a flag made in China flying high on the international stage. As the C919 slowly opens up in the international market, more and more people will give a thumbs up to Made in China and say "Not bad!"
When it comes to the international market, the C919 has its sights set on the Middle East. Those airlines in the Middle East like cost-effective planes the most, and C919 is just such a "sweet spot". Now COMAC is eye-to-eyeing with Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries, discussing how to cooperate. This is a big step for the C919 to enter the international market!
Of course, the road ahead for the C919 is not all smooth sailing. The domestic market is quite easy to say, after all, our domestic demand for large passenger aircraft is "very large". However, in the international market, C919 still has to face the "encirclement and interception" of Boeing and Airbus.
To be honest, in the "hardcore" fields of engine technology, C919 is still a bit behind Boeing and Airbus. But it doesn't matter, our researchers are working overtime to research, and I believe that it won't be long before this gap can be narrowed.
The advent of C919 is like a pebble thrown into the surface of a lake, stirring up layers of waves. Even though it's still hard to say whether the C919 will be able to completely reshape the aviation market; However, one thing is very clear: the birth of C919 has added new opportunities and tests to China's manufacturing.
Looking back at the development process of C919, it is really emotional! From the unattainable dream to the blue sky now, every step of the C919 is condensed with the hard work and sweat of China's civil aviation industry. Now the C919 is ready to make a splash in the global aviation market. Its appearance not only provides more choices for the world, but also opens a new door for Made in China.
The success of the C919 is more than just an airplane! It marks the gorgeous bloom of China's manufacturing strength, showing the world that China is not only able to produce daily small commodities in the "world factory", but also has the ability to build high-precision large aircraft! This is not only a technological breakthrough, but also an all-round improvement of the entire industrial chain and innovation capabilities!
In the process of research and development of C919, China has accumulated rich experience and technology in aviation manufacturing. This experience and technology can be applied not only to the development of more advanced aircraft in the future, but also to advance other high-tech fields. It is no exaggeration to say that the success of C919 has given China's high-end manufacturing industry a "booster".
In terms of international cooperation, China has carried out extensive and in-depth cooperation with multinational aviation companies in the research and development of C919. This kind of cooperation not only promotes technological exchanges, but also enhances friendly international relations. As C919 gradually moves towards the international market, this cooperation is bound to be closer and deeper.
Looking to the future, the achievements of the C919 are just the starting point. China's aviation industry continues to grow, and larger and more sophisticated aircraft are in the development stage. There is no doubt that soon the aircraft created by China will achieve a more prominent position in the world aviation field; And to make more outstanding contributions to the development of aviation in China and even the world.
The successful trial flight of the C919 symbolizes the important progress made in the mainland's large passenger aircraft industry; This is not only a remarkable achievement for the domestic aviation industry, but also a major advance in the field of international civil aviation. The team that developed the C919 demonstrated the far-reaching significance of the "Chinese Dream" with practical actions.
They overcame many challenges and continued to strive for the best in order to finally let the C919 fly freely in the blue sky. It is foreseeable that in the coming days, C919 will become the main force supporting the mainland civil aviation market, and at this time it will also help the growth of the global air transport industry. Let's give C919 a thumbs up! Cheer for Made in China!
