The C919, a passenger aircraft independently developed and manufactured by the mainland, conducted a flight demonstration over Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong on the 16th. Since the current global passenger aircraft market is monopolized by the two leading players, Boeing of the United States and Airbus of France, although the mainland has announced that it will break away from technological dependence, current orders are still dominated by the domestic demand market.

Internet sign: Breaking the monopoly of Boeing and Airbus?Mainland China-made passenger plane C919 flies around Hong Kong to show off its muscles
The C919 passenger plane independently developed and manufactured by mainland China took off from Hong Kong International Airport, flew over Victoria Harbor, and circled twice at low altitude, feasting the eyes of aircraft fans.
Mr. Yin, an airplane fan: “I think the domestically produced passenger aircraft is independently developed by the country. I think it has a greater symbolic meaning.”
Foreign media unboxed the interior of the cabin, which can carry up to 192 passengers. The cockpit has a large glass area and a wide field of vision. The wings are independently developed and are said to have less drag and more fuel efficiency. Compared with the same narrow-body passenger aircraft from Boeing and Airbus, In comparison, the C919 has a standard passenger capacity of 168 people and a range of about 4,600 kilometers, which is slightly inferior to its opponents.
As for the cost, the C919 is about US$99 million, which is lower than Boeing’s US$121 million and Airbus’ US$111 million. The cost performance seems to be higher. Mainland China claims that it has received nearly 1,200 orders for the C919 and aims to produce 150 aircraft per year. However, compared with There is still a big gap between Boeing and Airbus’ production capacity of 60 aircraft per month.
Hong Kong Chief Executive Li Ka-chiu: “One of the pilots of the C919 flight from Shanghai to Hong Kong was a flight expert sent from the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department to participate in the C919 review work. He was also one of the first batch of C919 pilots, which makes us deeply proud. “
Hong Kong Chief Executive Li Jiachao welcomed him with a big battle, because the C919 represents China’s ability to break the passenger aircraft market dominated by the United States and France. Currently, China Eastern Airlines, the largest buyer of C919, has ordered a total of 105 aircraft to fly to Shanghai, Beijing, Xi’an, Kunming, and Guangzhou , Chengdu, Shenzhen, etc., mainly short- and medium-range routes. In the future, whether mainland-made aircraft can dominate the world with its opponents remains to be seen.
