53 years later, the big plane that Chinese people dreamed of finally ushered in a historic breakthrough!
According to the People's Daily, C9 19 has so far received orders for 1200 aircraft from Germany, Thailand and Nigeria, compared with 66/KLOC-0 and 480 aircraft from Boeing and Airbus last year. This means that the order volume of C9 19 has exceeded the sum of global aviation giants!
For more than half a century, we have been faced with the humiliation of being a "great country" without civil aviation planes, and endured the cowardice of "exchanging 800 million shirts for 1 plane". But now the domestic large aircraft C9 19 is taking off, competing with the old aviation giants in the United States and Europe. After seeing this situation, Boeing Company of the United States was also threatened and made solemn representations many times.

First, domestic large aircraft soared and washed away humiliation.
During the period of 1999, the United States attacked the Embassy of China in Yugoslavia with a bomber made by Boeing Company, and it was a moment of anger. But when we finally sent the three martyrs home, we had no choice but to take a Boeing plane. This has deeply hurt the hearts of the people of China. At that time, the high-level voice said: No matter how difficult it is, we must get the big plane out!
Soon we will cooperate with McDonnell Douglas and plan to transform Yun 10 into a civil airliner. However, just when the plan entered the final stage, Boeing Company of the United States suddenly intervened, bought McDonnell Douglas, terminated the transformation plan, and destroyed all the research and development materials of Yun 10, which made our years of hard work go to waste. Academician China angrily remonstrated, "Only by mastering the core technology can we truly master our own destiny".

With the painful lessons in front, we completely abandoned our illusions and really embarked on the road of independent research and development of large aircraft. Large aircraft is known as the "crown of modern industry", involving many technical fields, which can be called the highest integration of modern science and technology. For the early appearance of C9 19, China launched 22 provinces, more than 200 enterprises, 36 universities and hundreds of thousands of industrial researchers to participate in research and development, and finally ushered in a rapid development.
It is reported that C9 19 adopts more advanced technology in overall design, which not only has a higher degree of automation, but also adopts a new generation of engine and body materials. At present, C9 19 has successfully broken through the western block, signed airworthiness certificates with 27 countries including Russia and Brazil, and will fly over more countries in the future. Reuters reported that the C9 19 made in China will break the dual monopoly of Boeing and Airbus.
Second, the outside world questioned that the localization rate was only 60%, and the engine had to be imported?
While the domestic large aircraft C9 19 has achieved impressive results, there have been endless doubts from the outside world. It is reported that although C9 19 claims to be a large aircraft independently developed by China, more than 40% of its components are imported, and even its engine is jointly developed by Britain and France.
This is actually a misunderstanding of the manufacture of large aircraft. There are more than 3 million parts of a modern civil aircraft, and the industrial chain is extremely extensive, which cannot be completed by one country alone. Being able to independently manufacture R&D and large aircraft is enough to prove China's aviation level and overall strength. In fact, the localization rate of 60% is not low, and Boeing's most advanced 787 model is only 70%. However, the serious injury of "C9 19 engine is supplied from abroad" can not be ignored.
In order to prevent being "stuck in the neck" in the future, we are also developing core components non-stop. As a "spare tire", CJ- 1000A Yangtze Engine will come out within three years at the earliest, and we can change into our own engine at any time. It takes time for a baby to learn to walk, let alone a life-threatening civil aviation plane. We might as well be a little more patient with C9 19. I believe that in the near future, we can also realize the complete localization of C9 19.
We can't forget the pain of being beaten behind. In recent decades, our technological development has been achieved on the basis of catching up step by step, such as shield machine, aviation, 5G communication, UHV transmission and so on. At first, we were all controlled by others, and finally we were able to catch up after some painstaking research and development.

In recent years, the United States has focused on the aging problem that plagues the world and mobilized famous universities such as Harvard and Yale to carry out anti-aging research. Among them, a class of "Serile" molecules from Harvard laboratory exert force on the basic unit cells of life, directionally activate their energy, enhance the body's youth and slow down the aging process. It is said that the United States may want to monopolize the global elderly health market through such research.
Japan, which has also mastered this kind of technology, in the face of increasingly severe aging, issued a bill to list these molecules as national gain agents to improve the overall health level. After the commercialization of Serile, it became popular in local high-end shopping malls such as Isetan and Ginza, and there was an endless stream of guests at the counter.
Moreover, due to the rising domestic health demand, Nissan "Serile" imported from China sells tens of thousands of bottles a year on platforms such as JD.COM, although the price is not cheap, and the highest single-day transaction exceeds10 million. The market voting with their feet shows that the health needs of middle-aged and elderly people in China are booming. Many domestic media also issued a document saying that this is a foreign country using high technology to harvest the public. Health is the foundation of people's livelihood. I believe that in time, we can also achieve independent breakthroughs in the fields of life science and technology such as Serile.
Thirdly, C9 19 is triggering a chain reaction, and the future can be expected.
Just as C9 19 was officially delivered and entered the commercial operation stage, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines also issued an "unusual" announcement: they would withdraw from the United States. According to external analysis, this is inseparable from the progress made by domestic aviation. After long-term research and development efforts, C9 19 has successfully landed, and thousands of orders are just the beginning.
Some organizations predict that China Airlines will have a demand of 9,284 civil airliners in the next 20 years, with a predicted market value of nearly 9 trillion yuan. In addition, with the steady improvement of the localization rate of C9 19 in the future, the upstream and downstream industrial chains will release more market space and create huge economic benefits for China.

Since last year, Boeing has been showing its kindness to China and sent a message to congratulate the successful delivery of C9 19. According to external analysis, Boeing may be interested in entering the commercial node at C9 19 to seize the civil aviation market in China. But we have already seen through its face, and the frequent accidents of Boeing aircraft have caused Boeing to have almost nothing in China.
C9 19 is just a starting point. With the continuous upgrading of China's technology and manufacturing industry, our big plane will really soar in the world in the future. Let's wait and see!
