What's new

China Eastern set to operate C919's first commercial flight on Sunday, flying China's busiest domestic flight route from Shanghai to Beijing

. . .
Don't be angry, what he said is a fact with too many precedents.

As long as we Chinese people seriously enter a field, it will soon be completely occupied and conquered by us. This is the inevitable direction of history, and even if you get angry, you can't stop it. Now it's cars, followed by semiconductors, space technology, and so on.

it is only the case btw 2000-2020,

will no longer be the case going forward

The Chinese are primarily certifying the C919 with the FAA as a "showcase" example.

To fly in China, Chinese airworthiness certificate by Chinese authorities is good enough. FAA certification means jack squat to them.

Everyone knows that the FAA protects its own aviation industry. Google the Mitsubishi Spacejet flap with FAA and the Japanese are American allies! :azn:

If the C919 can replace Airbus and Boeing equivalent airplanes in China, that is 90% of the Chinese objective. And how big do you think the Chinese aviation market is? It's larger than the US market. Well played as losers - yeah hold up that big "L" to the forehead.

The biggest problem for C919 is not the tech or the airplane itself, but the maintenance base.

You can make 10,000 or whatever amount of plane but you need to have enough personnel to be able to maintain those plane, and you aren't talking about a few hundred people, it would have been a few hundred thousand people alone to maintain those planes in China. Then you would have overseas concern even if you don't just limit to local customers.

The thing is, C919 is not on anyway better than both Airbus and Boeing, and unless China force their sales on Chinese Airline, they won't stop buying both Airbus and Boeing, and domestic routes are notoriously unprofitable, which means everybit count. So even if China were able to switch all of their Airbus and Boeing to C919, that won't have any major impact toward those company. In fact, depends on domestic competition, it probably affects more toward Chinese domestic airline.

On the other hand, if you wanted to sell that aircraft internationally, again, unless you are asking those international customers not to fly them into the west (Then it will limit the range of sales) and only fly them to China, you still need to care about western certification.

That is an extremely arrogant, ignorant, and stupidest statement! China had the dollar for decades, still nothing. Chinese have stolen Russian tech, and products are still as shitty, if not more than as the Russian originals. But, hey..whatever.. maketh thee gay and cheerful.
China steal Russian tech of what ? China steal US dollar of What ? Lol, nothing but spew out BS lies about China. What shit products can your slum India produce at all then ? Nothing, but shit jealousy.

LOL, You dirty Indian street shitter.
Now do you understand why the Chinese government prefers Pakistan over India?

Lol, you dirty cow shit eater.
lol, good one. These Indiots, don't realize that when China becomes the world's largest economy in Nominal GDP. Some predict as early as 2024, no one will give a damn for USA.

He does not understand that when it comes to aviation, most of the world have to import everything, and by that 'everything', it literally mean everything relating to aviation. From people, to information, to materials, to education and training, to standards, to tools...everything. Even people is not native. You have to import other people to train yours, and those non-natives have to remain with you for duration until the next generation of your people entering aviation. As long as your country cannot produce a single airplane, and I do not mean assembly from instructions, you are completely reliant on foreign sources for that 'everything'.

Chinese civil aviation still has a long way to go. As it is, China do not have a true civil aviation environment. Chinese domestic airspace is still under military jurisdiction, whereas, I learned how to fly whilst in high school before entering the USAF. How many licensed PRIVATE civilian pilots are there in China?


To meet rising demand, the country will support as many as 100 airlines in the next few decades, according to Chinese media. Yet Boeing recently estimated that within 20 years, China will have a shortfall of 77,400 commercial pilots. (The country’s regional airlines are recruiting foreign pilots: Shenzhen Airlines recently advertised for a captain’s position paying an annual salary of $212,000.) The country’s 12 civilian aviation academies are operating at full capacity, and can turn out only 1,200 to 1,400 certified commercial pilots per year. Chinese airlines spend the equivalent of $162 million annually to send 80 percent of the student pilot candidates abroad: about 2,000 to the United States, the others to Europe and Australia. The big advantage of learning abroad is English language immersion. Aviation, even in China, is a business conducted in English.


General aviation [GA] is all civilian flying except scheduled passenger airline service.​
• An estimated 65% of general aviation flights are conducted for business and public services that need transportation more flexible than the airlines can offer.​
• More than 90% of the roughly 220,000 civil aircraft registered in the United States are general aviation aircraft.​
• More than 80% of the 609,000 pilots certificated in the U.S. fly GA aircraft.​

That is over 600K private pilots just in the US alone. The C919 is a commendable achievement for China, but these guys here really do not understand the scale of what Chinese civil aviation has to overcome and believes that domestic aviation alone is enough to get rich on a single platform.
