At present, the large passenger aircraft in the civil aviation market is almost monopolized by Airbus and Boeing . Originally, the American Boeing Company was "the only one", and the European Airbus Company gradually eroded the market of large civil aircraft, thus becoming the same as Boeing Company Strong competitor. Currently, both Airbus and Boeing are building single-aisle passenger aircraft, including the A320 series and the 737 series. Since the demand for the regional passenger aircraft is very large, both Airbus and Boeing are digging into the potential of related models, so there is the A320Neo With the emergence of the 737 Max series of passenger aircraft, the two models are in tit-for-tat competition, trying to compete for the replacement market share of regional passenger aircraft. Now both parties are vigorously promoting corresponding models.
Just a few days ago, China announced the purchase of 292 Airbus A320Neo large passenger aircraft. This order worth more than 30 billion US dollars immediately attracted widespread attention from the outside world. In addition to the large scale of the purchase, it is also because it is now in the stage of competition between China and the United States. , so this purchase agreement attracted special attention from the American media. After Airbus received an order for 292 A320Neo aircraft, the US Boeing Company announced that it had not received relevant orders due to geopolitical influences. In fact, from the perspective of passenger aircraft procurement, Boeing is the winner in the Chinese market. It has previously purchased large quantities of various large passenger aircraft from the United States, including Boeing 747 and other giant passenger aircraft platforms.
Although Boeing has expressed "disappointment", in fact, in terms of the passenger aircraft market, American Boeing still has opportunities, because China is developing a domestically produced C919 large passenger aircraft and will soon begin batch product delivery. Large passenger aircraft are very different from other means of transportation. C919 is a platform that integrates a variety of equipment, many of which are from the United States. If large passenger aircraft want to operate on international routes or be exported to other countries, they need to pass airworthiness certification, so there is a so-called game. As for the airworthiness certificate , it is the focus of the game. Similarly, if the American Boeing Company's passenger aircraft wants to enter the Chinese market, it also needs China's certification.
C919 is a commercial aircraft, so it needs to obtain benefits through the market. Facing the emergence of C919, the mentality of the United States has been very complicated. Originally, the United States and Europe were "evenly matched" in the civil aviation market, and will eventually form a "three-legged confrontation." American aviation related industries can also benefit from the C919 project, including the European aviation industry. From the perspective of airworthiness certification, the United States will not nod easily. The United States is very clear about the significance of the C919 aircraft. Therefore, China will continue to purchase Boeing's large passenger aircraft, which can balance the game within the United States. This is because market opening is a two-way street. of.
Since China’s aviation market is very large, it needs a large number of regional airliners. The development and equipment of the C919 large passenger aircraft has given China more confidence, because in addition to A320 and 737 aircraft, there are new options for other countries. The same is true. If the airworthiness certifications of Europe and the United States are opened, other countries will follow suit. 202207025/Global Defense Observer/Ali, before China started developing large passenger aircraft, Russia already had a number of large passenger aircraft in operation, but the marketization was not smooth because of the joint suppression by Europe and the United States. If the C919 large passenger aircraft wants to go global, it must pass the threshold of European and American certification, and the game behind it has become the focus.
