COMAC C919: China's Bold Move to Challenge Boeing and Airbus

[@allenfan83]

Thanks for sharing. I like C919

[@johnfrancisco1851]

It's not safe

[@allenfan83]

​@@johnfrancisco1851 Why you say so ? Do you have evidence? It is irresponsible to say those words without proof online

[@jasonc3589]

​@@johnfrancisco1851 Tell that to the Boeing victims

[@stefanbarthel3755]

but what I see, for example at minute 1:59 is a Boeing 737-Cockpit, isn`t it?

[@augustinjosephr]

Yes. It's due to lack of stock footage availability

[@RonSchuurman-td7yj]

The C919 should get EASA certification in 2025 opening up a huge market, but its still early days in the program, I've flown in the C919 with China Eastern and can tell you its a very good aircraft, much better than I thought they could do, but not a surprise because if you look at the auto industry you'll find half of all EV's made are from China, by 2030 half of all manufactured goods will come from China, Comac has plans in development for the wider C929 and the full wide body C939 and those two are not targeted at domestic duties. many laughed and some still do but like Airbus eventually they stop laughing. with Boeing languishing there is opportunity and China knows it.

[@augustinjosephr]

True

[@peterwong4779]

How fast can China build C919 compared to Airbus and Boeing ? How can they competitors in the world market? But It will be good news for no more monopoly by Boeing and Airbus 😃

[@augustinjosephr]

The Boeing Airbus duopoly can be broken. After all Chinese have good expertise in manufacturing.

[@MrPathanoo]

It ain't happening in the Best Chinese Dream. You have to take your life in your hands to board the C919. I spent my whole life in the Aerospace Industry, GE, building Jet Engines so I know a little bit about aircrafts. This Chinese plane is a Flying Coffin and when it would dump you in the cemetry is any one's guess. I will not board this palne even if the ride was free.

[@augustinjosephr]

Obviously it takes years of trust from pax and a great safety record to cement a good position in travellers mind.

[@akyow]

The said the same about products form India, Japan and Chinese cars etc

[@claudiuspseudonymus1369]

Oh, Boeing has had decades of building jet airliners and yet still produced a ..whatdidyasay...Flying Coffin called the 737 Max..!! China's Comac will dominate China's domestic air travel.. currently 2nd largest in the World..! Boeing & Airbus are being phased outta that market slowly but surely...

[@augustinjosephr]

@@akyow over time good products will earn good name

[@gencymeri8770]

it's going take time but they will be there. pretty much toyotas when launched they were coffins on wheels. They are top selling cars now.
