The first C919 large aircraft was delivered in December 6
aviation aircraft travel has become an important mode of transportation, with the global aviation aircraft market size reaching more than one trillion US dollars. According to market forecasts, the number of new aircraft delivered globally by 2039 will be 40,000, worth up to US$6 trillion. In other words, the aviation market still has great market prospects, and the delivery volume of new aircraft in the future is very considerable.
However, it should be noted that the current global aviation aircraft market share is in the hands of the US Boeing and the French Airbus . These two major aviation aircraft manufacturing companies deliver aircraft models to civil aviation companies around the world.
Order volume is tens of thousands of stores, and order income of tens of billions of dollars is easily received.
The reason why Boeing and Airbus are able to monopolize the market is because the strong aviation aircraft manufacturing industry chain behind Europe and the United States has mastered key component technologies such as aviation engines, wings, and airborne equipment in the field of high-end manufacturing. In addition, the flight data recording systems, flight control systems, etc. at the software level also hold core patents.
With the support of such an industrial chain, Boeing, , Airbus, has stable product delivery capabilities. In addition, there are no other airplanes to choose from on the market, so the orders can only be handed over to them.
However, the situation is changing, China Commodity Industrial is about to enter the market. According to news from China Eastern Airlines , the first C919 aircraft was delivered to China Eastern Airlines in December.
This is undoubtedly another major milestone for C919. Once the delivery is completed in December, even if China Eastern Airlines only needs to conduct a qualified approval after receiving the aircraft, it can be put into commercial passenger flights. According to the time schedule, China Eastern Airlines will be put into market operations in the first quarter of 2023.
As for which operating areas China Eastern Airlines will put C919 into, it depends on the subsequent arrangements. Those who are looking forward to it can pay more attention.
C919's history
In fact, as early as 2021, China Eastern Airlines signed a procurement contract with COMAC and became the first customer of the first model. The announced purchase contract shows that the catalog price of C919 is RMB 650 million. Currently, COMAC has received orders of 815 aircraft from 28 customers. If all delivered, it will receive approximately RMB 530 billion in revenue.
Of course, at this stage, COMAC's goal is to successfully complete the delivery of the first order of the C919. After the subsequent capacity is increased, more shipment plans will be arranged. In short, everything needs to be based on official information.
The domestic large aircraft C919 has gone through a lot of effort to get to this point. Among the major events of C919's development, the project was first established in 2007. Three years after the project was established, the prototype of C919 was publicly displayed at the Zhuhai Air Show, roughly determining the appearance design and research direction of C919.
In 2015, C919 entered the assembly and offline of the first model. At this point, C919 has entered the production implementation stage. But everything has just begun. The C919, which completed the assembly, made its first flight in 2017 and was successful.
In recent years, the progress of C919 has made rapid progress. During 2022, the first aircraft's first flight, the most critical evidence collection and test flight, and the issuance of certificates of conformity have been completed. Since then, C919 has obtained the airworthiness certificate from the Civil Aviation Administration of China, and can fly in China and 27 countries that have signed an agreement with China to recognize the Chinese airworthiness certificate.
The three-legged aviation market structure
C919 is only a matter of time before it is put into market operation, and if you want to go abroad, I believe it can also be carried out smoothly. Since the C919 will be market-oriented, it is inevitable that it will compete with Boeing and Airbus on the same stage. What kind of aviation market territory will
bring at that time? Obviously, a three-legged aviation market structure will be formed. Although Boeing and Airbus are old giants, it takes a lot of effort to gain a part of the market share, the C919 has great potential.
And judging from the unit price of 650 million yuan in China Eastern Airlines' procurement catalog, it actually has a certain price advantage.From the perspective of airlines in various countries, one more choice will give you the ability to bargain with Boeing and Airbus.
Company will gradually increase the production capacity of C919, and I believe that more and more orders will be obtained.
C919 complies with the manufacturing standards of the international aviation market, and some parts are purchased from foreign suppliers. On the premise of win-win cooperation, it is beneficial to airlines and aerospace parts manufacturers in various countries.
The future aviation market structure will change due to the arrival of C919. COMAC is expected to shine in the global aviation market with Boeing and Airbus.
written at the end
China developed C919 for 15 years, and now it has finally ushered in the delivery stage. Once the delivery is completed, China's large domestic aircraft independently developed by China can fly from the blue sky. The future of C919 is still long. In the global aviation market, I believe C919 will definitely win more applause. C919 such as
is put into operation, will you take it? Welcome to leave a message below to share.
