Recently, at the China International Import Expo, the US Airlines Giant GE Airlines has made a major commitment to Chinas independently developed C919 passenger aircraft project, saying that it will ensure the stable supply of the engine and increase localized support.
This commitment will undoubtedly provide a strong confidence guarantee for the expansion of C919 production in COMAC.In the context of the global aviation industry facing supply chain distress, this move is essential for COMAC.
At present, C919 is actively preparing to expand production to meet the needs of domestic and foreign markets.However, with the gradual accumulation of orders, the stability of the supply chain has become the key to the success of the project.
In the context of the continuous heating of the Sino -U.S.A hint of dawn.
GE Airs commitment is C919s production capacity improvement injecting strong heart
In early November, GE China President and CEO Xiang Weiming wasAt the China International Import Expo in Shanghai, GE Air will work closely with COMAC to help the production of domestic passenger aircraft such as C919 and ARJ-21.
He clearly pointed out that GE aviation will enhance local production capacity, actively cooperate with China Commercial Fei, ensure the stable supply of the engine, and cooperate with China Aviation Industry GroupElectronic system.This series of commitments has injected a strong motivation for the improvement of C919s C919 production capacity.
GE Air is one of the two major shareholders of CFM International, and CFM International is the core supplier of providing Leap-C engines for C919 and ARJ-21.
Another major shareholder is Safran, a French aircraft equipment manufacturer.Although the global aviation industry is suffering from the supply chain problem, GE Airlines said that so far, COMACs aircraft delivery has never been affected by engine supply problems, which has provided a stable foundation for the future production and marketing of C919.
Xiang Weiming also said that the GE aviation plan improves its localization capabilities in China and expands the maintenance and maintenance network of Leap engine to support Chinas continuous expanding aviation market needs.
It is reported that GE Airlines has established a rapid maintenance and on -site support factory in Shanghai Lingang special area.Occupy important geographical advantages.
In addition, GE also cooperated with China International Airlines to establish a joint venture in Sichuan to improve the rapid maintenance and maintenance capabilities of the Leap-1C engine.
The support of GE is particularly important for COMAC, because C919 is currently relying on the CFM international Leap-C engine, and domestic alternatives are still in the research and development stage.
In the C919 production plan, GEs commitment is particularly critical.According to GE Airlines, China will surpass the United States in the next 20 years and become the worlds largest aviation market. At that time, it will need up to 9,000 new passenger planes.
In order to seize this opportunity, GE is also constantly improving localized support and expanding its maintenance, maintenance and service network in China.
The market prospects of COMAC C919 are very optimistic.According to the latest news, the production of C919 is creating new records, and since August, it has been delivered to major airlines including China Oriental Airlines, Air China and China Southern Airlines since August.
In the next five years, the Chinese COMAC plans to deliver 150 C919 each year. The current orders have exceeded 300.C919.
In order to achieve this goal, the construction of more general installation lines in Shanghai is also in full swing.
C919 has now accumulated more than 13,000 hours of flight operation experience, equipped with 700,000 passengers.
These numbers are not only the growth of data, but also the improvement of Chinas aviation industry confidence, reflecting the determination to compete with the Chinese COMAC and Boeing 737 MAX and the Airbus A330neo.
C919s future challenges and prospects
GE Airs support for the C919 project is of course great benefits, but the road of Chinese Shangfei on the futureThere are still many challenges.
First of all, the Leap-C engine currently relied on by C919 is still provided by CFM International, which means that although GE promises to supply stably, it is still unable to be completely independent in key technologies.
In the context of complex and changeable international situations, the independent research and development of core technologies such as engines is a necessary condition for Chinas aviation industry to realize the real take -off.
Second, the marketing of C919 still faces fierce competition from Boeing and Airbus.
Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus A320 series occupy a huge market share in the international market.The network has a wide range of user groups worldwide.
In contrast, C919, as a latecomer, has policy support and huge market demand in the domestic market, but its competitiveness in the international market needs to be further improved.
How to occupy a place in the global market is a problem that COMAC needs to consider for a long time.
In addition, the improvement of production capacity is also one of the important challenges facing the current C919.
Although the stable supply of GE Airlines has solved some of the urgency of COMAC, from the perspective of the target output of 150 sets per year, COMAC needs to further optimize the production line to improve production efficiency and ensure that ensure production efficiency and ensure that ensure production efficiency and ensure that they ensure production efficiency and ensure the efficiency of production.While meeting domestic demand, gradually open the international market.
Increase production efficiency, reduce manufacturing costs, and ensure product quality is a realistic problem that every emerging aviation manufacturer must solve.
However, we cannot ignore the positive changes brought by C919.
As Chinas first self -developed trunk passenger aircraft, the success of the C919 not only means Chinas breakthrough in the field of aviation manufacturing, but also represents Chinas overall improvement in the high -end manufacturing field.Essence
C919, it breaks the double oligopoly monopoly pattern of Boeing and Airbus in the narrow-body passenger aircraft market, providing global airlines with global airlines provided global airlines.More options also provide products that are more economical and meet their own needs for local Chinese airlines.
The future prospects of the C919 depends to a large extent on the continuous improvement of technology and the gradual acceptance of the market.
From the perspective of existing orders and market reactions, the domestic market is full of confidence in C919, and the development of the international market is steadily promoting.
In the future, with the gradual research and development of domestic engines and more localized supply chain construction, C919 will be expected to have a place in the global market, bringing a more place to Chinas aviation industry.Glory.
Summary
Overall, GE Airliness stable supply of C919 engine promises to provide important to the production capacity of COMAC to provide important increase in the capacity improvementSupport, this is undoubtedly an important part of C919.
However, China Commercial Fei is still facing many aspects such as technical autonomy, marketing and production capacity improvement.Driven by the domestic policy support and the gradual acceptance of the international market, the future of the C919 is full of hope.
Chinese COMAC needs to continue to overcome difficulties, gradually improve its technical strength and production capacity, and finally realize the Chinese civil aviation industry.
C919s success is not only commercial success, but also the pride of the national industry. It is a symbol of the rise of Chinas manufacturing industry.
