Airbus Helicopters said Friday it had signed a contract with China-based helicopter lessor and operator with GDAT for 50 H160 helicopters.

The helicopters will be used notably for the energy sector, including offshore transportation for oil and gas platforms, wind farms, and harbor piloting, as well as emergency medical services and other municipal public service missions.

"This contract is the largest single order for the H160 on the civil and parapublic market since the helicopter was unveiled in 2015," Airbus said.

The contract was signed during French President Macron’s visit to China.

“This contract is a great example of the importance of economic and trade cooperation between France and China. The innovative H160 is the perfect addition to our fleet and will enable us to continue our success story on the Chinese market that began with our 21 H225 helicopters. We see a lot of potential for the H160 in China, in particular for the energy sector,” said Peter Jiang, Chairman of GDAT.

Airbus said that the H160 is certified to fly with as much as 50% sustainable aviation fuel and is powered by two of the latest Arrano engines from Safran Helicopter Engines that offer a 15% reduction in fuel burn.

China is the world biggest car maker but we still imports foreign cars as well, China is big market for everything, there's always room for more.

Yes, but it seems Chinese aero engines still are not up to the required standards, even for small helicopters. Surprising.

You can believe whatever you want to believe, choppers are going to be just like cars being used in many aspect of life in China, we welcome competition.

So there are no Chinese made aero engines that could be used here. Okay then.

Can you understand human language?

China has all the aviation industry technology. But it does not mean that China bans foreign helicopters.

 

[beijingwalker]

So there are no Chinese made aero engines that could be used here. Okay then.

So China imports foreign cars meaning China can't make cars? your idiotic brain is just so messed up.

According to your logic. Even whole europe cannot build a space station. How backward.

Just in, seems like a reciprocal deal between Xi and visiting French president Emmanuel Macron in Beijing , please don't tell me that France can't produce ships, it's just so dumb..

Chinese Shipyard Receives Record Order From France To Build Container Ships - Reports​

One of China's largest shipbuilding corporations China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) and French container transportation and shipping company CMA CGM have concluded a deal for the construction of 16 ultra-large heavy container ships, the largest number ever ordered from a Chinese company at one time, local media reported Friday.

BEIJING (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 07th April, 2023) One of China's largest shipbuilding corporations China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) and French container transportation and shipping company CMA CGM have concluded a deal for the construction of 16 ultra-large heavy container ships, the largest number ever ordered from a Chinese company at one time, local media reported Friday.

According to Chinese newspaper Penpai, the order value exceeded 21 billion Yuan ($3 billion). The deal includes 12 methanol-powered, duel fuel heavy-lift container ships with a capacity of 15,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU), and four liquefied natural gas-powered, duel fuel super heavy-lift container ships with a capacity of 23,000 TEU, the report said.

Also in October, Chinese media reported that shipyards in China are working around the clock to meet European demand for liquefied natural gas vessels. According to The Global Times, this has led to a recent double-digit growth in orders for LNG carriers, with some major Chinese shipbuilders reporting order delays that could last until 2026.

Right. So where is the engine technology that would make a comparable platform with comparable performance? Oh wait, there isn't any.

So China imports foreign cars meaning China can't make cars?

So by that logic, if China can make good hammers, it can also make good helicopter engines. Got it.

According to your logic. Even whole europe cannot build a space station.

Is there a European space station up there? Oh wait, there isn't any. May be they cannot afford it?




Nice whataboutery, but still no competitive Chinesium Engines.

The Gambia also does not have a space station. I guess. The Gambia cannot afford it. Suggest that Europe and the Gambia help each other. lol.

Gambia also cannot make good helicopter engines. Neither can China. What was the topic of this thread again? Oh right, China bought helicopters from Airbus because it cannot make a comparable product itself. Please keep trying.
