China's Next Generation Jetliner Takes Next Big Step

[TaiShang]

Even the size and potential of China's domestic market may be enough to promote COMAC to a mid-sized company and enable it to later join the international marketplace. Very positive development but be prepared for loads of negative publicity.

First priority should be to replace all foreign components with domestic components so that China is not blackmailed with Western sanctions.

Second priority should be to dominate the domestic market.

Third priority should be to dominate the non-western world markets.

China will become the largest market for commercial aircraft by 2025.

The safety is still questionable.

I will wait for 20-30 decades later.

STRONG TIES TO CHINESE MANUFACTURERS
Airbus not only values its relationship with airlines in China, it also appreciates the enormous potential offered by Chinese industry. Currently, over half the Airbus fleet in service worldwide has parts produced by Chinese companies with whom Airbus already enjoys strong relations. The total value of Airbus and the Chinese aviation industry’s cooperation reached $295 million in 2012 and is expected to be near $500 million in 2015.

The industrial ties in China include: the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation, which supplies the A320’s rear passenger door and parts of its nose section; the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, producing and assembling the A320’s emergency exit doors, and manufacturing fixed leading edges, wing interspar ribs, cargo doors and skin plates, as well as A330/A340 cargo doors.

In addition, the Xi’an Aircraft Company manufactures electronic bay doors for the A320 and A330/A340 Families, as well as the fixed trailing edges on wings for the A320 Family and the brake blades and medium air ducts for the A330/A340 Family; the Hong Yuan Aviation Forging & Casting (HYFC) supplies titanium forged parts used in mounting powerplants on wings; and the Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory produces A320 Family aircraft cargo door frames.

Bombardier, third largest aircraft manufacture in the world, gets most their fuselage from a CHINESE company called Shenyang!

China will become the largest market for commercial aircraft by 2025.

2025 is too optimastic. If china can produce an average engine by that time, it will be a great achievement. Boing , Airbus etc are miles ahead.

Actually I was being a bit pessimistic. China will most likely become the largest market for commercial aircraft by 2020 considering the pace of growth in the Chinese market.
