COMAC: A CHINESE CHALLENGER?

China’s New Comac C919 Jetliner Is Built With Stolen Technology.?..

The C919 is a relatively new narrow-body jet built by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, or COMAC for short. It’s also apparently the beneficiary (and to some degree, the result) of massive hacking operations undertaken by the Chinese government and a government-affiliated hacking group, dubbed Turbine Panda.

A major report by the infosec security company Crowdstrike lays out the details, and it doesn’t mince words. The opening paragraph of the report states:

Short of kicking down the door just as a cyber actor pushes enter, it is frustratingly hard to prove who is responsible for cyber attacks with 100% certainty. However, a series of recent U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) indictments released over the course of two years, combined with CrowdStrike Intelligence’s own research, has allowed for startling visibility into a facet of China’s shadowy intelligence apparatus.

中國商飛C919是由中國商用飛機有限責任公司研製的一款168-190座級窄體幹線客機，專為短程到中程的航線設計，屬於單通道150座級，標配168個座位，最多可容納190個座位，學名為「中短程雙發動機窄體民用運輸機」。

C919計畫於2008年11月啟動。C919的首架原型機本計劃於2014年首飛，2016年交付航企使用。其後經過延期，原型機於2016年12月25日送交試飛中心；2017年4月，高速滑行試驗完成；並於2017年5月5日下午兩點在上海浦東國際機場順利完成首飛。按照2020年7月的計劃，量產初期每年產量為約150架.

中國商飛表示，由於已知銷量遠小於同樣大小的波音和空中巴士機款，該公司商用客機單價更貴，但隨著訂單數的攀升將會逐步降低。其使用了與波音737 MAX和空中巴士A320neo相同的CFM LEAP-X 系列引擎。

但是西方國家尤其是美國,認為中國涉嫌偷竊波音737 MAX和空中巴士A320neo相同的CFM LEAP-X 系列引擎製造的技術資料。

西方國家航空界認為中國試圖將波音和空中巴士機款融合使用,顯然是另眼相看中國航空工業的技術能力,如今中國耗時13年之久,終於成功將C-919.商業客機飛上天空,遨遊萬里,最重要的是先行開拓境內市場,其次進軍國際市場,由此觀之日後的民用航空業者多一項選擇採購的機會,根據西方國家航空界的估算C-919.每架飛機製造成本約為3意美元,比較同樣大小的波音和空中巴士機款約為10億美元,太具競爭力,因此西方國家已經著手將2手淘汰型客機,降價促銷至非洲及亞洲的客戶使用噢,否則中國C-919.量產後的廉價促銷策略,是西方國家無法競爭的.

C919: what is China’s home-grown alternative to Airbus, Boeing duopoly, and why is it important? Chinese government formed the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac) in 2008 to design and build the single-aisle C919

Most of the parts are currently imported from foreign manufacturers, though China is hoping to produce its own indigenous engine for the C919.
西方國家的航空界權威人士分析認為,中國已經突破民用飛機的核心技術CORE SYSTEM.,中國已經可以完全掌握研發製造飛機的各式各樣零件與設備,即使較難的飛機引擎的製造也不在話下.

2020年9月3日，中國民用航空局（CAAC）與歐洲飛航安全局（EASA）召開視頻會議，簽署《中國民用航空局與歐盟飛航安全局關於適航和環保審定的技術實施程序》及其附件《中國民用航空局與歐盟飛航安全局民用航空產品運行/維修實施程序》。這兩份程序20210901日已正式生效的《中華人民共和國政府與歐洲聯盟民用飛航安全協定》（BASA）及《適航和環保審定》附件的內容細化。為中歐雙方飛航安全領域廣泛合作確定了框架，為中歐雙方深化飛航安全領域合作奠定了基礎，標誌著中歐飛航安全領域合作進入新的階段,顯示出C-919.商業客機可以飛航歐盟商業機場,進行商業運輸服務業,傳聞德國有意先行購買1架C-919.商用飛機做為德國境內飛航服務,試情況再行擴大採購中國C-919.飛機.

中國的C-919.飛機將是 Boeing & Airbus’的競爭者?

What is the C919?

The C919 is a narrow-body jet being built by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac), a state-owned company based in Shanghai, to compete with Boeing’s 737 and Airbus’ A320.

China’s C919 commercial jet aspirations are overblown and no threat to Boeing or Airbus, Washington think tank finds

Centre for Strategic and International Studies gives a wholesale rejection of Beijing’s dream to break up commercial aircraft duopoly
Any US sanctions on the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China also said to be ‘counterproductive’, as China could retaliate by not buying from US companies such as Boeing
