On September 29,
C919 domestic airworthiness evidence collection was successful. While the Chinese people were happy, many people also questioned its safety.
After all, this is our first major aircraft project, and it is understandable that some people are worried about it.
In those years, our experiences and lessons learned
Xinzhou60 The poor safety record has made many people discouraged from domestic aircraft. There are only more than 100 aircraft produced in total, and about 8 aircraft have been damaged due to accidents. The results are really not very good. However, most of these achievements are caused by the inadequate maintenance and guarantee of third-world countries and the captain's skills are too bad.
From the aircraft level, Xinzhou60 uses the aerodynamic configuration of -24, which is one era behind. Although it has been replaced with Pratt & Whitney engines, Collins' avionics are still repaired and made small fuss.
to COMAC ARJ21. Chinese regional aircraft can finally be used. ARJ follows the tail-hanging engine layout of the 1980s and 1990s style. This is probably the only difference with the mainstream regional aircraft today. The engine is the same model of Embraer E190, with the same telex operation. It has been safely operated for 6 years, with a total of 68 aircraft delivered and a total of more than 5 million passengers.
C919 is of course more worth looking forward to, because it has the advantage of latecomer. Compared with A320 and B737, we adopt the strengths of each company and have a more advanced aerodynamic configuration, control system, aero-engine avionics, which can be seen from the fantastic cockpit layout. COMAC, like ARJ21, is produced and its safety is also worth looking forward to.
Security has national endorsement
Many people may not understand it. We can always hear news of plane accidents in reports. Why do people always say that planes are the safest means of transportation in the world?
In fact, this is not difficult to understand. Aircraft accidents are events of global concern, while other traffic accidents are just commonplace. The redundant design of the
aircraft system ensures safety, and even up to three key equipment. Usually, one works, the second cross-verification, and the third backup is to ensure that everything is foolproof.
Chinese major airlines' pursuit of safety is unique in the world, and this is also determined by the nature of our country. Why do many people still remember the China Eastern Airlines 3.21 accident? Because China's civil aviation has maintained a 4,227-day flight safety record, leading the world, and breaking such a record is still necessary for China's civil aviation.
