Oh yes! I forgot that some Airbus A320s were rolled out from a plant in China. Is it just assembling or manufacturing is involved also?

Anyways... cool stuff

thanks for your question.
Yes, at today's stage, one part of the manufacturing is assembling and there are many spares purchased around the world. companies and engineers are working hard to increase the import substitution rate and to reduce costs as well.

If it becomes true , Then, It shall be gr8 for Asian avation, as cheap planes will mean cheaper air travel.

China had developed a large airplane before.
That is Y-10 aerotransport.
Y-10 porject had begun in 1971,first flight in 1980, suspend flight in1984.
Y10 : 130 alighting ,170 hours flight time, till out of commission.
Y-10 had 179 seats, 110ton takeoff weight, 3100km range.

In 1985, because of the difficulty of the national economy, and the Chinese strategy adjustment. Y-10 project was cut by the Chinese leader. That areplane factroy begane to assembly McDonald's vertical fin till the MD fell down.

i guess it's time to change a better translation software and post some constructive replies

about the y-10, see this time china has enough cash to see this thing through : )

This is something everyone might want to consider:

Airbus and Boeing already are major stakeholders in China's C919. Not only that but there is already mutual shared manufacturing. With this risk and profit sharing, it is really an oligopoly. Betcha didn't know this tidbit.

The funny thing is that, despite all these rants between China and India, I bet India would be one of the most suitable buyers of China built plane if it wants to meet its transportation demand. Let's face it, Boeing and Airbus are just too damn expensive for India.

China needs to first compete with small, but innovative aircraft manufacturers like Bombardier and Embraer before trying to compete with Boeing and Airbus.

Both Boeing and Airbus have decades of experience and expertise in this field and also have a huge talented workforce. The smart thing to do would be collaborate with these manufacturers, like how Japan and India do, rather than competing with them.

India's Hindustan Aeronautics is already a major supplier of aircraft parts to both Boeing and Airbus -

China has been supply parts to Boeing and Airbus for over a decade. Now Airbus also assembles in China, too, so there is plenty of experience.

China's jumbo jet design center established - People's Daily Online

China's Research and Design Center for Commercial Aircraft, has been established in Shanghai. What this means is the country's jumbo jet program is now in full swing.

The center's set to design a regional jet, the ARJ-21, and a jumbo jet, the C-919. The center has completed preliminary plans for the C-919. The plane's maufacturer, the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, has signed a memorandum of understanding with nine domestic airframe suppliers. The 150 seater is due to make its maiden flight in 2014 and will be available for delivery to customers in 2016.

Guo Bozhi, President of Shanghai Aircraft Design & Research Institute, said, "We have been doing well in many areas of technology research, dealing with such issues as reducing the plane's air resistance and making the engine more efficient. We have reached the same level as other planes that we are using. It was a hard work to do this in only one year."

Chinese do not have to compete with Boeing as its Boeing that shifting a lot of work out of USA to china so quality of the product will be at par with the west as according to Boeings estimates Chinese will 1000s of planes for domestic and world travel soon.So boieng will benifit from chinese demand and chinese will gain knowledge and experience both win.

Boeing shifted jobs not to make Chinese rich but to make themselves richer. If Chinese can compete with Boeing or Airbus and they have the same quality as the formers then there is no wrong in doing so.
