C919 medium-sized passenger plane first flight
For a long time, the market for large aircraft in China has been firmly controlled by two companies, Airbus and Boeing . Thousands of RMB have flowed into the hands of foreign companies. At the same time, we paid the money but did not enjoy the treatment we deserve. More importantly, because China does not have its own large civil aviation passenger plane, we naturally lose the right to speak in this field, which is absolutely unbearable for us. May 5, 2017 is worth remembering by all civil aviation people. The successful first flight of the Chinese large aircraft C919, a Chinese owned, marks that China is one step closer to the equipment of its own large aircraft. Although the aircraft has not been officially put into commercial use, its orders are coming like snowflakes. It is understood that as of the end of 2017, 27 customers around the world have ordered at least 785 C919s, more than half of which have been confirmed. It can be said that China's large aircraft has won the market before it was born.
Two-seat " Xiaolong " takeoff training
Of course, in recent years, in addition to large aircraft, our world equipment field has also blossomed in all aspects. From Rainbow-4 drone showing off its skills in Iraq, Chinese Xiaolong soaring Pakistan blue sky and Chinese VT-4 main battle tanks appeared in Thailand, Chinese equipment has appeared again and again in the military sequences of countries around the world, and even those most loyal allies of the United States have turned to China, which made the United States very depressed. In the world arms market, China's voice has increased year by year, and even China has dominated the voice in some fields, which has made China a lot of confidence. However, in the face of China's confidence, many countries have cast doubts. American think tanks have raised questions about why Chinese equipment has become so confident. Do you really have confidence?
In recent years, the three major export countries military drones export growth rate
When faced with doubts, we only answered in four words, that is "full of confidence". Here we take the most typical drone as an example. In recent years, the development of Chinese drone may have exceeded the expectations of many so-called well-known experts and exceeded the expectations of many think tanks. According to statistics, China had already occupied 10% of the world military drone market in 2014, and it is likely to reach 15% in the past two years. Although its share is still a certain gap from the United States, its growth rate is unmatched by other drone powers such as the United States. It is estimated that by around 2024, China's military drone will likely account for about 25% of the world market, and will have the ability to compete with the United States at that time.
Rainbow-4 drone appeared on the Iraq battlefield
At present, the countries that purchase military drones in China are mainly concentrated in Egypt , Nigeria , UAE, Iraq, Pakistan and other countries with low economic carrying capacity. Their initial purpose of purchasing Chinese drones was also because of the cheapness. However, it is precisely because of the low price that Western countries questioned the quality and strength of Chinese drones. This is actually a misunderstanding. Compared with China, China's labor costs are much higher than China. At the same time, China is also at a lower cost than the United States in terms of raw materials and other aspects. The most important thing is that China's current drone exports are not mainly aimed at making money, but earning reputation. Overall, although China's drone prices are low, their performance is not worse than that of the United States in reality. Iraq should have the deepest experience of this. China's Rainbow-4 hits up to 95% of the hit rate on the Iraqi battlefield, even the United States is envious of it. After all, American drones are also competing with China on the Iraqi battlefield.
Of course, this is just a microcosm of Chinese equipment. It can be said that whether it is used by our army or exported to the world arms market, we are all high-quality products, and everything is enough to make us proud, and our confidence comes from this.
