Break through the neck of the engine! The “Chinese Heart” of C919 has been installed on Yun-20 for the first time?
Recently, a video blogger announced the flight of a plane on his account. When I first saw this video, many aviation enthusiasts were confused because they had never seen an aircraft like this. Later, after careful investigation, it was discovered that it was a modified version of Yun-20.
It's just that there Is a very abrupt aircraft engine on the wing of the Yun-20 . After seeing this situation, netizens have speculated that Yun-20 is being used as a test machine? But what is the sacred engine on the test machine?
C919 engine will be localized soon!
The so-called test machine is to install the newly developed aero engine on the plane, so as to ensure that more complete data can be obtained. Because only one of the engines on the test machine needs to be replaced at that time, so as to avoid the risk of the new engine stalling.
According to the engine carried by the Yun-20 this time, netizens speculate that it is the CJ-1000A. The reason why netizens are so sure is mainly because there are currently only two aero engines in my country, one is the military WS-20, and the other is the commercial CJ-1000A.
Since the WS-20 has been successfully installed, so at present, this new engine is likely to be the CJ-1000A. Through these clues, people have begun to conclude that my country’s CJ-1000A engine is about to be installed successfully.
Some friends may not know what CJ-1000A means to our country. To put it simply – if the CJ-1000A is successfully installed, it proves that my country’s C919 engine will be localized. This will not only have an impact on our country, but will also have an earth-shaking impact on the aviation industry all over the world.
- Difficult to “grab the cake” C919
So what impact will the full localization of C919 have on the world aviation industry?
The first is to break the monopoly of Boeing and Airbus . You must know that Boeing currently occupies as high as 38% of the aircraft market, while Airbus occupies as high as 28%. The two companies accounted for 66% of the global market.
It can also be seen from this that these two companies have an absolute monopoly in the aviation field. What monopoly brings is wanton pricing. Once Boeing and Airbus start to run out of money, they will directly increase the price of the aircraft. Will you buy it? If you don’t buy it, all the airlines will go out of business by then.
In addition, these two companies have a complete set of service systems, including maintenance, technology upgrades, etc., just like a 4S shop for cars. Of course, they have the final say on the cost of maintenance and service upgrades, and others cannot bargain at all.
So until now, Boeing and Airbus still have nothing to fear in the aircraft market. Even though there have been accidents with Boeing aircraft in the past few years, it still cannot weaken Boeing’s status in the world.
Well now, once the C919 succeeds, it will be able to compete with Boeing and Airbus. If some buyers offend Boeing and Airbus, or are embarrassed by these two companies, they can choose to buy COMAC’s C919 at that time. This is the beauty of multiple selection.
Because of this, many western countries are afraid of the launch of C919. Because once the C919 goes to the world, it will have to cut a big piece of cake in the European and American aircraft markets. In order to prevent the launch of the C919, one of the major tricks abroad is not to issue airworthiness certificates.
Can the C919 bypass the restrictions of the airworthiness certificate?
The airworthiness certificate is very important for an aircraft. Without the airworthiness certificate, it is equivalent to driving without a driver’s license, and it is not allowed to go on the road.
In fact, every country can issue airworthiness certificates, but since all countries do not have aircraft inspection capabilities, the airworthiness certificates of these countries are basically useless. At present, the United States has the strongest aircraft inspection ability, so the airworthiness certificate issued by the US FAA is the most convincing.
In other words, as long as the FAA airworthiness certificate is obtained, it means that the aircraft can fly to any country. Now that the C919 is coming to grab the market, the Americans are definitely not happy, so they will try to do everything possible on the issue of the airworthiness certificate. For example, a certain part of C919 was returned because the part failed to pass the inspection.
In the face of the FAA’s making things difficult, our country really has no good way. Of course, the FAA not only made things difficult for our country, even Japan, the son of the United States, was once made difficult by the FAA on the issue of aircraft. Back then, the Japanese ambitiously built a century-old MRJ airliner, but they still couldn’t obtain the FAA’s airworthiness certificate. Even his own son is not spared, one can imagine what will happen to foreigners in the United States.
Of course, even if the United States does not issue us an airworthiness certificate, we cannot be discouraged. Although there is no FAA airworthiness certificate, we can still fly the C919 domestically. With such a large domestic market, it is enough to support the C919.
In addition, if C919 wants to set foot in foreign markets, it is not impossible. At that time, signing a special agreement with Iran, Russia and other countries will also allow the C919 to land in those countries.
This is like signing a local currency swap agreement. Since everyone does not use the US dollar, they simply use their own currency for transactions. Although the C919 is still unable to navigate around the world, it is still possible as a dedicated passenger aircraft for the two countries.
Break through the constraints of components
In addition to being stuck on the issue of airworthiness certificates, Western countries often get stuck on the parts of the C919. Many people may not know that in fact, 50% of the parts on the C919 are imported from abroad, such as the engine and other parts mentioned earlier.
The reason why China wants to import from abroad is not because China can’t make them, but mainly because the parts made in China cannot be certified internationally, so only those parts that have been certified abroad can be used. This is why netizens often blackmail C919, they say that C919 has not been localized at all. Some people even say that the C919 is just a shell.
In fact, this sentence completely reflects the ignorance of the sunspots. You know, the C919 has more than 4 million parts alone. The proportion of parts made in China is as high as 50%, which is 2 million pieces. Can this be produced by the country that makes the shell?
If it must be hacked, the sunspots should first hack the Boeing Company of the United States. Because all Boeing’s current components are purchased from 15,000 suppliers around the world. If you follow the logic of the sunspots, did Boeing just build a shelf?
Therefore, although the localization rate of C919 has not reached 100%, it does not mean that our country can only make shells. Now, with the successful installation of CJ-1000A, our country can not only make the shell, but also the lining. This also severely slapped the sunspots in the face, letting them know that the things made by Chinese people are not bad.
What can C919 bring to China in the future? What about the people?
Speaking of this, it is necessary to elaborate on the future prospects of the C919 after its launch. First of all, the most direct benefit to China is to make money and save money. Needless to say, making money is not a problem. The current price of a C919 is as high as 100 million US dollars. Even so, it is still 40% cheaper than Airbus and Boeing aircraft.
With the development of the times and the retirement of old aircraft, the world will face a market demand of 9,000 passenger aircraft. As long as the C919 can successfully enter the siege, it will be able to easily obtain orders of hundreds of billions of dollars. This will be a considerable income for COMAC.
In terms of saving money, I mentioned it just now. Because my country’s previous passenger planes were Boeing and Airbus, if something goes wrong, professionals from the other company will have to be called in for repairs. You can pay as much as others ask, and you can’t talk back. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you will be responsible for it yourself.
And this sky-high maintenance fee is not a small burden for any airline. If the C919 is successfully operated, it will save a lot of maintenance costs for my country’s airlines.
In addition to making money and saving money, the launch of C919 will drive the development of tens of thousands of small and medium-sized enterprises in my country. Since aircraft parts involve countless suppliers and industrial chains, as long as domestically produced large aircraft are built, a large number of companies involved in the aviation manufacturing industry will be derived from our country at that time.
At that time, these companies will create many jobs and boost the country’s GDP. In this way, China’s economy will be boosted along with the trend. Many doctoral students who graduated from aviation do not have to worry about finding a job.
From this perspective, the emergence of C919 will drive my country’s upstream and downstream industrial chains, from low-end to high-end. Once that time comes, our country will be able to compete with European and American countries in the high-end industry field, and see who is in charge of the ups and downs in the world?
Back in the day, in order to buy a Boeing aircraft, my country would not hesitate to exchange 200 million pairs of socks. The bitterness and suffering in it, only the Chinese can experience it personally.
Now, with the successful installation of CJ-1000A and the full localization of C919, the era of exchanging 200 million pairs of socks for one aircraft will never return. At that time, our country can also use an airplane to exchange for 200 million pairs of socks from other countries. This is a powerful embodiment of science and technology rejuvenating the country and manufacturing power!
