Zhuhai Air Show 2014 - Updates & Discussions

Well if it isn't the British snob who was laughing at Chinese smokey engines and bragging about British influence while calling me a blinded patriot. Now you are totally shocked how advanced Chinese military is? Not to mention you had zero clue of FC-31 until recently while most of us here knew from the beginning the moment those photos and videos became public.

When i say what British influence? I don't downplay your small island because of jealousy, it's a fact dude. Recently your PM was so nervous of Scotland leaving, now the EU is demanding UK to pay the hefty bill and Merkel wants the UK out of the EU because of some dispute she has with that PM of yours regarding immigration law.

While you still brag about UK influence because of a few high tech areas while China is still catching you are now witnessing just how fast the PLA is modernizing. As stated by my buddies here what's at the show isn't the real capability on display it's only a tiny part of it. Even our Japanese member here and his military friends of the Japanese defence force are fanboys of Chinese toys.
Mark my word when China has mastered the engine tech, hypersonic missile (which has already been demonstrated once or twice), railgun, electromagnetic catapult and more you will be even more shocked and i can even look down at your small island even more. :china:


loool I was laughing at smoky chinese engines? lool Those engines you are using on your stealth fighter arent Chinese as far as i know. They are Russian, and if you clearly red my comment(its still on here by the way) You will noticed clearly that i said Smoky russian engines. So why are you saying i was laughing at smoky chinese engines? lol those engines arent yours as far as i know bro. If they were your engines i would have congratulated you people, since i know its not an easy task to build a fighter jet(an advanced 5th generation one for that matter) engine in the first place, my comment was directed at Russia, since i expected them to produce better engines than the smoky ones they sold you, since they are also a top tier 1 military power with lots of experience in building engines like us in the west/.U.S, So of course i would have expected them to do better than that(they sure seem to be letting me down with each passing year:disagree:).lol

As for Looking down on U.K. lool you can look down on U.K all you want, but doesnt change relaity or mean that we are insignificant, as i said despite your fast progress which i admire by the way(since if you have followed my posts/comments on here, you will know i tend to respect/admire countries who strive for self sufficiency, be it Iran , Turkey or whatever country it might be) you still have some critical tech to master like you stated before you can even start looking down upon us(since you yourself said you are still catching up) , much more so since we had mastered this tech decades ago. So dont get too arrogant just because i made some positive comments about your military advancements/developments, for though i understand that when a new comer gets into an exclusive league like military tech weapons, they can indeed get too arrogant for no good reason(anyway, unlike you, your leaders aren't that arrogant, so thats all that matters). We migth not produce all different varieties of weapons systems like the U.S or even Russia, but what we do focus on and produce, beleive me is world class, and even better in some cases than those of the U.S and any power out there. Thats why i said, if we had Chinas size/economy, then believe me, even the U.S will be struggling to keep up with us.:agree::D

Anyway, congrats to China for their weapons development, keep it up. Always better to produce critical weapons yourselves/locally if you can afford to.. Kudos to that.:cheers:

In my last post, I made a mistake by typing that "India is way ahead of China,"

It should of course be the other way around. Such mistakes happen, and somehow I am not able to edit my post.
I do think that is your real thinking before you discovered this post.

Boeing hires Chinese aviation company to make 777 parts

Nov 11, 2014, 2:50pm PST UPDATED: Nov 11, 2014, 3:08pm PST

Boeing announced a contract with Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) Tuesday.

The company, which is the largest state-owned aviation company in China, will produce composite empennage tips for Boeing's 777 family of planes beginning in 2017.

AVIC's Shenyang Commercial Aircraft Corporation (SACC), a subsidiary of AVIC, will build tips for the vertical fine and horizontal stabilizer in a new facility near the airport in Shenyang, China.

Those stabilizers are placed on the tail of the plane. Each 777 will need three.

The contract means Boeing and SACC will work together to create a new training program and Chinese Manufacturing Innovation Center within the facility.

SACC has a 24-year history of building parts for Boeing's commercial airlines. SACC's parent company has built similar stabilizers for Boeing's 737.

Boeing is the largest foreign customer for China's aviation market. The company expects to double its purchases from China in coming years.

Taking space in China may be a good move by the company to stay active in an aviation manufacturing market space that is heating up.

Chinese airplane-manufacturing company, Comac, is rolling out its C919 prototype at 2014 Air Show China this week. It's the first mainline airplane built by China. The C919 will be similar in size to Boeing's 737 MAX.

Larry Wilson, supplier management communications for Boeing, said "this decision is consistent with our Partnering for Success program, benefiting all parties involved – Boeing, our customers and AVIC."

Boeing announced an $8.5-billion dollar deal with a Japanese leasing company for the 737 MAX, Monday. It's the largest deal of its kind in Boeing's history.

Last week, Boeing Commercial Airlines CEO Ray Conner announced the company's plan to replace the 737 MAX with a similar-sized, but completely new aircraft by 2030.
