Hot Review | The Second C919 Launched on the Train Flies Out of "Acceleration" C919 | Domestic | Acceleration
Today, China Eastern Airlines officially took over the second domestically produced C919 large passenger aircraft. After drawing a large "C" over Shanghai, the passenger plane officially joined the China Eastern Airlines fleet. According to China Eastern Airlines' plan, the second C919 will partner with the first aircraft and be first deployed on the China Eastern Airlines' Shanghai Hongqiao Chengdu Tianfu air express line, gradually expanding more routes in the future.
Data shows that as of July 12th, the first C919 has operated a total of 87 commercial flights, serving a total of 11095 passengers and a total of 250.10 hours of commercial operation. The addition of the second C919 to China Eastern Airlines' fleet will provide more passengers with the opportunity to board domestically produced large aircraft, and also marks the acceleration of China Eastern Airlines' commercial operation of the C919 large passenger aircraft.
According to the joint purchase contract signed between China Eastern Airlines and COMAC, China Eastern Airlines will take over four C919 aircraft this year. According to data released by COMAC in June this year, the C919 has received a total of 1061 orders from over 30 customers. This means that in the future, more airlines will be operated by domestically produced large aircraft, and traveling on domestically produced large aircraft will become a common experience for passengers.
The successful commercial maiden flight of C919 marks a new stage in the industrial development of domestically produced large aircraft. The actual flight experience, economy, and safety of domestically produced large aircraft all need to be tested by the market. The confidence in the market is gradually accumulating with the increase in the number of domestically produced large aircraft and safe flight time. We need to maintain patience and strive to mobilize market enthusiasm to encourage more airlines and consumers to choose domestically produced large aircraft.
Industrial knowledge tells people that the requirements for building an airplane are completely different from those for building one hundred or one thousand airplanes. The C919 has driven the formation of China's civil aviation industry chain, which contains enormous potential. After being put into commercial operation, aircraft still face the test of mass production. Only by promoting the spirit of craftsmanship and the spirit of large aircraft, enhancing management capabilities and personnel quality, can we achieve the goal of accelerating and expanding production.
According to the forecast report released by COMAC, the Chinese aviation market will become the world's largest single channel aviation market in the next 20 years, and the current mainstream demand in the market is for single channel jet airliners like the C919. Domestic large aircraft need to seize historic opportunities, leverage China's advantage in the ultra large market, and engage in differentiated competition, bravely occupying a place in the global commercial aircraft market.
Not long ago, good news came from the aviation industry: the dual engine turboprop commuting Y12F aircraft developed by Hafei has obtained the model certificate issued by the European Aviation Safety Agency, achieving a breakthrough in zero recognition of domestically produced aircraft by the European Aviation Safety Agency. Previously, this model of aircraft had been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States. In the future, China's aviation industry will continue to endorse itself with its strength, continuously improving its international market share and competitiveness.
In the past six months, in addition to the successful commercial maiden flight of the C919, there have been new breakthroughs in the industrial and technological innovation fields, such as the first domestically produced large cruise ship being docked, the Long March-2D carrier rocket setting a record for the highest number of satellites launched in a single launch in China, and the completion and acceptance of the world's first demonstration project of the Hualong 1. Many netizens praise China's "new breakthroughs" while also paying tribute to the pioneers, innovators, and fighters behind the breakthroughs.
Only through innovation can one become stronger and strive for excellence. Many practices such as domestically produced large aircraft have proven that China's independent innovation is highly promising, and the vast number of scientific and technological workers in China have great potential. With the spirit of keeping up with the times, the courage to innovate, and the unwavering determination, the vast number of scientific and technological workers shoulder the heavy responsibility entrusted by the times, and will surely make new contributions to accelerating the construction of a strong science and technology country and achieving high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement.
