"The C822 main spar was successfully trial-produced in the 132 factory, which fully meets the requirements of use."

"Chief designer of C822: The first flight of the domestic regional large passenger aircraft will be no later than December 2017."

Southwest Commercial Airlines, that is, commercial airlines, has been established for more than half a year, but at present, the Yizhou manufacturing base has only completed the foundation, and there is no production capacity at all.

The manufacturing base of the commercial aviation industry is very large, and even with strong government support, it will take at least three years to fully build.

As a super production base built in line with Boeing and Airbus, with an annual output of hundreds of passenger aircraft, this manufacturing capacity is completely explosive for military aircraft.

The development of the C822 and C832 passenger aircraft is basically completed by the 611 Institute and Xinyuan, but the final assembly will be placed in the Yizhou production base, so that the appearance of the two passenger aircraft will be realized in name, and the real mass production of the Yizhou base will be at the end of 2018.

The development of passenger aircraft is very different from that of military aircraft, throwing out technical factors, more of a design focus, civil airliners pursue reliability and economy, in the final analysis, it is still for the cost, to reduce the pressure on airlines.

Since the war in the Middle East, the price of oil has risen every year, and the profit margins of airlines are actually getting smaller and smaller, so the pursuit of economic airliners is also getting higher and higher.

The new generation of airliners must be more fuel-efficient, easier to maintain, and safer, with many more factors to consider than military aircraft.

The 611 Institute obviously has no experience in the development of passenger aircraft, and the research and development teams of the two passenger aircraft are also mixed with personnel from Hafei and COMAC (yes).

However, the main design work is still new and far-reaching, and it is much easier and dominant to rely on the system research institute to meet these requirements.

Manufacturing is a small problem, the early trial production is a political project, the real mass production to reduce the cost is a matter of the Yizhou manufacturing base, the first batch of small budget is acceptable.

Now the basic design work of C822 and C832 has been basically completed, and the ground static testing machine has entered the manufacturing stage.

Such progress is simply incredible in the eyes of some.

For example, COMAC.

At the magic capital Pudong Airport, Li Jing, the head of COMAC's C919 project, personally attended Rockwell Collins' executive MacPherson.

The latter boarded the car driving into the airport with seven or eight technicians, lowered the window to look at the brightly lit runway, and said in fluent Chinese:

"Li, in a few days, the C919 will make its first flight here, congratulations, you have your own domestic large passenger aircraft."

"Heh......"

Li Jing didn't know what to say a little embarrassed, there were large domestic passenger planes before, and the Y-10 was still parked in the museum.

Rockwell Collins, General Electric, and Psiphon, which provide avionics systems and engines for the C919, are the most important partners.

Because of the establishment of Southwest Commercial Airlines Company in the country's passenger aircraft, as well as Xinyuan's strong technical support, C919 unexpectedly and logically won the cooperation and support of foreign cooperative manufacturers.

CFM International, a joint venture between Aramco General Electric and Psiphon, supplied the C919 with the Leap-X1C turbofan engine, which was determined in 2009.

Similar replacements in China are the turbofan 20 and Lucia RD-14, which are still under development but are not far from success, but they are not as economical as the Leap-X1C.

Both the engine and avionics are basically controlled by Aramco, and a small part cooperates with Aramco, so the road of the C919 is extremely difficult.

The original World Line, the C919 made its first flight in May 2017, but due to the delay in finalizing a stable supply contract and the issuance of relevant certificates, in 2022, commercial operation can only be carried out 5 years after the first flight, which is needless to say.

As a result, at the beginning of the year, commercial aviation was born, coupled with the strong technical strength of the An-1250, foreign suppliers were more anxious than commercial aviation, urging the latter to complete the first flight of C919 as soon as possible.

Li Jing naturally knows that these manufacturers are not well-intentioned, and they are fighting the idea of joint ventures to kill domestic products, but he has been running for C919 for nearly 10 years, how can he resist the temptation?

C919 is not a particularly difficult model from a technical point of view, and the key subsystems are mature solutions provided by foreign suppliers, which directly advanced the first flight time by half a year.

The C919 is expected to make its first flight on November 5, and today is November 2, and the avionics system found a small problem, and Rockwell Collins immediately sent a technical team to solve it, which was absolutely unachievable in the past.

CFM International also agreed with COMAC that as long as the C919 gets the order, there will be no restrictions on the supply of parts, and even 40 engines can be sold to COMAC for peace of mind.

Such generous conditions are unimaginable, but the more Li Jing thinks about it, the more unpleasant it becomes, because according to the negotiations between COMAC and these suppliers, C919's biggest opponent is not Boeing 737, not Airbus A320, but his brother C822.

They calculated that the C822 and C832 of the national production plan would never be able to do the same as C919, using mature subsystems to reduce costs, so they had to fight a price war at the beginning, trying to strangle C822, and even if they couldn't do it, they would force commercial airlines to sell not much.

If the cost does not gain an advantage, then the order will be reduced, and the less the output, the higher the cost, which is destined to be a vicious circle.

Even if it is for support, it is impossible for domestic airlines to spend money unlimitedly, not to mention that C919 will be able to make its first flight this year, coupled with the full support of foreign subsystem suppliers, you can obtain key models and each, production licenses, and stand-alone test certificates at any time.

At least one year ahead of C822, it is possible to grab a hundred or even two or three hundred orders this year, and C822 will face the dilemma of lack of market when it is born, you know, C919 can be sold abroad, C822 is not easy.

As the project leader of the C919, Li Jing naturally hopes that his child can make the first flight earlier, but as a Chinese, the domestic feelings of the C822 are really sighing.

In such a mood of joy and worry, on November 5, the day of the official start of the Aramco election, the C919 domestic wide-body regional passenger aircraft made its first flight at the magic capital Pudong Airport.

At this time, the Zhuhai Air Show had only two days to end, and the media immediately praised the first flight of the C919, making the domestic large passenger aircraft and the Warrior No. 1 robot parallel to the hot search.

On the same day, COMAC blocked the door of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, demanding that the C919 be issued immediately.

……

"The first flight of a domestic large passenger aircraft, how can C919 be sharpened in 9 years."

"China Eastern Airlines signed a purchase agreement for the first batch of five C919s with COMAC, which is expected to be delivered in 2017."

"The unit price of C919 is about 600 million yuan, and the competitive advantage is obvious."

"Where does the C919 use domestic components?"

"The Civil Aviation Administration of China issued certificates for C919, C822 and C832 domestic passenger aircraft."

“……”

Among the "three carriages" of domestic passenger aircraft in the mouth of the media, the C919 was one position ahead and took the lead in its first flight.

From 2007 to 2016, the C919 project accelerated in an unexpected way, becoming the second domestic large passenger aircraft after the Y-10 - although a little watery.

There are three major parts of the aircraft: fuselage, avionics, and engine. C919 has only completed one-third of the localization, but it is indeed the highest proportion of quality, and the technical content of body manufacturing is indeed not low.

The news of the first flight of the C919 almost overshadowed the air show, and the CCAV praised it that night, but it still gave enough face.

But in Lin Ju's eyes, the treatment of C919 is much worse than that of the original world line, and there is no feeling of the stars holding the moon.

After all, it is no longer a lone seedling, although everyone is quite happy, but they are more looking forward to C822 and C832.

Even the attitude above is the same, only China Eastern Airlines bought 5 of the major airlines, and what is even more outrageous is the Civil Aviation Administration.

The C919 certificate was indeed issued as soon as possible, but at the same time, it was actually issued to the C822 and C832 that had not yet left the factory?

The plane is not yet available, so the certificate of conformity will be issued first?

This kind of eccentricity that can no longer be obvious reveals the above attitude, which is to see the two brothers C822 and C832 as the successors of Yun 10, and they will pay for it no matter what.

For this kind of deformed preference, Shangfei dared not speak out, but was fully prepared to promote C919 and eat as much market share as possible, which was also the pursuit of common interests between them and suppliers.

……

Late at night, Claire sat behind her desk with a video of the C919's first flight playing on her computer.

Although C919 is an international cooperation project and a "joint venture", it is indeed an important step taken by China's civil aviation manufacturing industry, and they do not lack technology and talents, and sooner or later they will promote localization.

The C822 and C832 are examples of this, and the progress is just as impressive, and COMAC immediately pushed forward the development of a large long-range trunk wide-body airliner: the CR929.

C919 and CR929 are basically established projects at the same time, C919 uses European and American engines and avionics technology, and the extra "R" of CR929 is jointly developed with Lucia, and the rain and dew are evenly wet.

Of course, the main reason is that there are still great restrictions on the technology of wide-body trunk airliners in Europe and the United States, so COMAC turned around and wanted to find a breakthrough here in Lucia.

C919、CR929，C822、C832。 The two airlines each have two models of the same class, which is very much in line with the style of not putting Chinese eggs in one basket, and the domestic market can afford to raise four types of aircraft.

However, the rise of China's aviation industry Claire only looks at it as an interest, and he still pays attention to his peers.

In November, there was a big move in Xinyuan.

According to their plan, the H2M space shuttle will make its maiden flight this month, and although it is conventionally powered instead of the nuclear-powered version claimed at the time, it is still a big step ahead of NACA.

Compared to the FATS program, which is at least eight months behind, this gap is still unacceptable.

The Endeavour space station is also being intensively tested, and there has been frequent communication with the ground, and the first centrifugal space station of mankind has been stirring the nerves of NACA all the time.

You have to be ahead of the curve!

That's what everyone thinks, and NACA doesn't accept being forever behind, even if it's a few steps behind for a short time due to various factors, but you have to have an advantage elsewhere.

He knows that Tenader has been in frequent contact with various space projects recently, and he is actually more inclined to the Golden Retriever in his heart.

After all, as the leader of NACA, no matter how long he has to work, he has an obligation to solve the problem of feeding the chain that Artemis has established after the project.

As with the Saturn V, the loss of technology after the termination of the project cannot be repeated.

Although she knew that Tenard would not be elected, Claire still decided to vote for him, as if it was NACA's attitude.

The manuscript has been revised...... It's time to start from scratch again......

It's going to be recommended again.,Dog authors will try to explode when it's time to make recommendations.。

The timeline of this book is about to enter 2017, and the hole of high-frequency emission and near-Earth planet exploration is about to be filled.

ps: Although there are only two more today, but 6k, it is also counted as 3 more (灬)
