      Hi, to be fair the Comac 919 looks cool. It just looks like a mix of the A220, A320, A350 and 787 combined. You can definitely tell the engines are western by the sound. (LEAP 1C).
      Keep up the work Josh

    If the plane's performance proves that it is very reliable, cheap to maintain etc. then It will probably succeed in the Chinese market.
    After that it will probably slowly crop into other markets like Central Asia, Africa and South America.

More legroom for me at 5'10". Bathroom definitely feel roomier than that on a B737. Headrest and tray table both are comfortable and nicely design. The service and meal on China Eastern is very much like those on an international flight. ❤❤❤

  • @sebinamuwanga
    @sebinamuwanga 5 месяцев назад +165

    Nice video, Josh! Just like is the case with electronics, it is not possible to have an aircraft with all parts manufactured by the same design organization, or by factories within the same country. This happened in the past, specifically with Soviet-built aircraft but it does not happen anymore. Just check out the 787, it has bits manufactured in Spain, Japan, U.K, etc. The Sukhoi Superjet has Italian-manufactured engines.
    The COMAC is Chinese-designed and certified (initially). That is all that matters. Having components manufactured in other parts of the world does not make it a "foreign" aircraft. Aviation Safety is something the Chinese take very seriously and statistically, they have one of the safest airspaces in the world.
    When aviation accidents happen, it may not necessarily be a fault with the equipment. It could be caused by several other organizational and/or human factors.
    Would I fly the COMAC? Definitely yes!

      All commercial aircraft, from Boeing to Airbus , are made of parts from various suppliers because of the economics of scale and the need to satisfy the IATA requirements . It is also not economically viable for a single company making all the parts by itself. The competition is in design and specifications. Only military planes are made totally from scratch by local companies because the cost is not important and they don't need to meet the IATA specifications.

    As a Brazilian who works in Aviation where we have Embraer, the third largest aircraft manufacturer in the world, I think the Chinese should be proud of this achievement. If we were in a normal geopolitical environment they wouldn't need to worry about their own engines or avionics, but knowing that the US and the EU can retaliate, sanction in addition to blocking the approval of the aircraft by the FAA and EASA (even to protect Boeing and Airbus) I think they have strong reasons to worry.

    I read that the plane ✈️ doesn't have the range or has the engine fuel savings that its opponents have... a320 or 737

    • @josh3771
      @josh3771 5 месяцев назад +10

      The 919 is very competitive and on par in terms of technology as the a320, such as the latest cfm-leap engines and avionics.
      The Comac carries significantly less fuel than the Airbus which is ideal for short domestic flights with range extensions just being a matter of an extended centre tank.
      International adoption is a product of politics, supply chain, pilot training and airframe maturity. It makes no sense for many airlines to take a risk on a new 919 when a 737/a320 is so well known and affordable 2nd hand.
      Give the Chinese a decade or two and it will be a very capable aircraft on the global stage.
