Chinese made large passenger planes soar around the world, no longer far away

When it comes to the civil aviation aircraft market, we have to mention the two giants, Boeing and Airbus. Famous aircraft such as the 737, 747, and A380 can be seen around the world, and it can be said that the global aircraft market is almost monopolized by these two giants. And this monopoly will be broken by China in the near future, or it will completely say goodbye to Boeing and Airbus.

As early as 2019, due to quality issues, Boeing's 737 MAX was grounded in China. After two years of improvement, Boeing has recently submitted a go around application to China. However, it is still uncertain whether it will be approved. In the future, Boeing may face severe challenges in the Chinese market and may even completely bid farewell to the Chinese market.

Why do you say that? Because China's independent research and development in large passenger aircraft has caught up. It is reported that the airworthiness certificate of China's C919 aircraft is going smoothly, and the first aircraft is planned to be delivered to the airline at the end of the year and begin operation.

As a domestically produced large aircraft in China, it cannot be said internationally, but its popularity among domestic airlines is definitely stronger than Boeing's. This is a huge challenge for Boeing, which is constantly troubled in China. Another news about large aircraft in China is equivalent to sentencing Boeing to the "death penalty".

Although the C919 poses a huge threat to Boeing, it is not fatal. After all, Boeing can still occupy the market for wide body aircraft in China. However, the "China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone Lingang New Area Civil Aviation Industry Plan (2021-2025)" released on September 1 instantly poured cold water on it. In terms of wide body aircraft, China will break the Western monopoly.

The CR929 long-range wide body passenger aircraft jointly manufactured by China and Russia has completed the preliminary preparation work, and the first aircraft has started construction. It is expected to complete its maiden flight in two years.

Analysts have pointed out that the joint production of wide body large aircraft by China and Russia this time is a huge blow to both Airbus and Boeing. China already has the technology to manufacture large passenger aircraft, but there is still a certain gap between China and the West in aviation development. Russia's participation can make up for this deficiency, and this cooperation between the two sides will break the long-standing monopoly of Europe and the United States in wide body large aircraft.

So, even if Boeing's go around application in China is ultimately approved, it may not be able to save Boeing's ultimate fate of losing the Chinese market, and even many Asian markets may not be able to survive in the future.

After all, in many regions of Asia, the influence of Russia and China is still very significant. Once the CR929 wide body passenger plane jointly developed by China and Russia is launched, it will quickly occupy the market of many countries. According to Chen Yingchun, the chief designer of CR929 China, it is expected that the order volume of CR929 after its maiden flight will reach 1000. It can be imagined that the days that will make Boeing and Airbus uncomfortable are still ahead.

With the successive appearances of Chinese large aircraft and wide body aircraft, the monopoly of Europe and America in the civil aviation field is about to end, and the day when Chinese produced large passenger planes soar around the world is no longer far away.
