C919 passenger aircraft is my country's first medium-sized passenger aircraft manufactured based on the airworthiness standards of Western countries. The C919 aircraft is currently undergoing intensive test flights. The first delivery version of the C919 aircraft has previously gone to Dongying, Shandong Province for relevant test flights, and after completion After the test flight, the C919 aircraft has returned to Shanghai Pudong International Airport again. According to sources, the first delivery version of the C919 aircraft is likely to be officially delivered in August, which also means that in China Eastern The first C919 passenger aircraft will appear in the aviation fleet sequence. However, at the critical moment when China Eastern Airlines is about to obtain its first C919 aircraft, many airlines, including China Eastern Airlines, have successively announced the purchase of 292 Airbus A320 NEO aircraft from European Airbus.
According to news reported by domestic authoritative media, China has announced the purchase of 292 Airbus aircraft from Airbus , including Air China and Shenzhen Airlines purchasing 96 Airbus A320s. NEO aircraft, the total price is US$12.213 billion. China Eastern Airlines purchased 100 A320 NEO aircraft for a total price of US$12.796 billion. China Southern Airlines purchased 96 A320 NEO aircraft for a total price of US$12.248 billion. The total price of the aircraft purchased by the three major airlines The price reached US$37.257 billion.
But currently China's three major airlines have a large number of Boeing aircraft in their fleets, including Boeing 737-800 medium-sized passenger aircraft and Boeing 777 wide-body passenger aircraft. Now China is purchasing medium-sized aircraft. It is quite rare for all airliners to choose Airbus A320 NEO. At the same time, the release of such a large order also means that Boeing Company has suffered a heavy blow in the global competition in the field of civil aviation, especially after the Boeing 737MAX series aircraft were comprehensively affected. After the grounding.
The Airbus A320 NEO aircraft is actually one of the competitors of the C919 passenger aircraft. At the same time, the Airbus A320 NEO aircraft also uses the same type of aviation engine as the C919 during the engine selection process, because most of the Airbus A320 NEO aircraft They will all be equipped with the LEAP-1A turbofan engine. He used to choose the LEAP-1C turbofan engine for the first delivery of the C919. Although there is only one letter of difference, the two engines belong to the same series of products, except for the aviation engine. It is optimized for Airbus models and C919 models, while the letter A represents the initials of Airbus and the letter C represents the initials of and COMAC .
Such a large purchase of , Airbus , and A320 NEO aircraft can only show that domestically produced civil aircraft still have a long way to go. The current production of my country's domestically produced civil aircraft C919 aircraft is quite slow, so this is also As a result, the three major airlines simply cannot wait for the batch equipment of C919 aircraft. For C919 aircraft, they will also need to refuel in the future. Text/Iris
