Flying the COMAC C919 - China's Game Changer?
搭乘中国商飞的C919客机,这是中国的游戏规则改变者?
I just flew on China’s new airplane COMAC C919 from Shanghai to Chengdu with China Eastern Airlines.
It’s been more than 3 years since I last visited mainland China. The flight was a pleasant and modern one for me and many other aviation enthusiasts. Powered by the same CFM leap engines, the C919 shares many similarities with Airbus and Boeing. My flight took almost 3 hours, flying at 34,000 ft with a maxmum speed of Mach 0.78.
我刚刚乘坐中国东方航空公司的C919新飞机,从上海飞往成都。
我上次访问中国大陆已经是3年前了。这次飞行对我和许多其他航空爱好者来说是一次愉快的飞行。C919由CFM发动机提供动力,与空客和波音有许多相似之处。我的飞行历时近3个小时,飞行高度为34000英尺,最大速度为0.78马赫。
During the flight, I experienced both C919 Business and Economy class seat features, the lavatory and galley. The middle seat width on C919 is half an inch wider to compensate for the shoulder room like A220. I spoke with the operating crew about their training and operation on the new C919.
At the end of the flight, I gave my verdict as a passenger on the C919. In short, the C919 needs to prove itself in commercial service that it can meet the economics and the required efficiency. Currently, there are over 500 orders by Chinese airlines and leasing companies but the future success depends on foreign certification of this airplane.
在飞行过程中,我体验了C919商务舱和经济舱的座椅功能、卫生间和厨房。C919的中间座椅宽度为半英寸宽。我和操作人员谈论了他们在新C919上的训练和操作。
飞行结束时,我以C919客机乘客的身份得出结论。简而言之,C919需要在商业服务中证明自己能够满足经济性和所需的效率。目前,中国航空公司和租赁公司下了500多架的订单,但未来的成功取决于外国对这架飞机的认证。
以下是各国网民的评论:

As the C919 is mainly used for domestic travel in China, its biggest competitor at the moment is not Boeing or Airbus, but China's efficient high-speed rail system.
由于C919主要服务业中国国内航线,其目前最大的竞争对手不是波音或空客,而是中国高效的高铁系统。

That's why the USA keep provides engines and avionics etc. they can profit from it for decades. But if comac reached to bulid thousands of them, still a small potion of the plane market, but will be noticeable, when that happens.....then is not all about money gained, you know.
这就是为什么美国一直提供发动机和航空电子设备等,他们可以从中获利几十年。但是,如果中国商飞能够建造数千架飞机,这仍然是飞机市场的一小部分,会引人注目。你知道,那并不全是为了赚钱。

HSR system has always been a competitor with the airlines in China since 2011. However, by purchasing C919 instead of 737/320 by the Chinese carriers, C919 competes directly with the peers in the same class, instead of the HSR
自2011年以来,高铁系统一直是中国航空公司的竞争对手。然而,通过中国航空公司购买C919而不是购买波音737或空客320,C919与同级同行直接竞争,而不是与高铁竞争

Not really, with C919. Less Boeing and Airbus will be bought. And the myth of C919 can't fly overseas are nonsense. There are 27 countries accepting CAA certification which means C919 can fly to other 27 countries
不是真的,有了C919后,购买的波音和空中客车将减少。C919不能飞到海外的神话纯属无稽之谈。有27个国家已经接受CAA认证,这意味着C919可以飞往其他27个国家

Yes, China’s domestic competition is fiercer than anywhere else in the world. Being able to gain a foothold in China has already proved everything. As for whether other countries buy or not, I think the ideology of some countries is the primary factor
是的,中国国内的竞争比世界上任何地方都激烈。能够在中国站稳脚跟已经证明了一切。至于其他国家是否购买,我认为一些国家的意识形态是首要因素

You're simply too underrated the C919! Even though the high speed rail does impact the aviation in China, the journey time is still too long for HSR than plane if you have to travel from N to S or E to W and vice versa. Besides, there're still 900 million in population still haven't take the plane yet. There're still room for the Chinese aviation industry to grow.
你太低估C919了!尽管高铁确实影响了中国的航空业,但如果你要从北到南或从东到西,那么高铁的行程时间仍然比飞机长。此外,仍有9亿人口尚未乘坐过飞机。中国航空业仍有很大的发展空间。

China stole the blue print for this plane from a think it was a US company also all there’s parts are my from other countries only a few parts are made from China which are the cheap parts. Also I also heard that there was 5 radars for the bottom of the plane to make sure your not close to a mountain or going to hit stuff but they said they only needed 3 so they can count down cost but that’s not good it’s very dangerous. They put money first other then there people’s safety. They cheaped out on a lot of stuff for this plane
中国从一家美国公司那里偷来了蓝图,所有的零件都是从其他国家买的,只有少数零件是中国制造的,而且都是便宜的零件。此外,我还听说飞机底部有5个雷达,以确保不会撞山,但他们说只需要3个,这样就可以计算成本,这不好,非常危险。
他们把钱放在第一位,然后是人民的安全。他们造这架飞机购买了很多廉价零件

@frankiedesam8624 Nice description of B737 max. I am more than happy to take safer C919.
相比波音737 Max,我更乐意乘坐更安全的C919。

China is putting touches on domestic engine. It’s the leverage. America wants to profit while narrowing window is still open.
中国正在引进国产发动机。这是杠杆作用。美国希望在不断缩小的窗口仍然敞开的情况下获利。

Hi Sam! I'm from Brasil but, I have so much respect with Chinese People, and your tradictions during years. I believe this amazing aircraft will be a wonderfull start in a comercial Chinese Aviation fighting with other... Thanks for sharing with us this incredible aircraft.
嗨,山姆!我来自巴西,我非常尊重中国人民,尊重中国的传统。我相信这架令人惊叹的飞机将是中国航空业与其他航空公司进行商业竞争的一个完美开端。感谢您与我们分享

Every passenger in air flight should remember the dedicated efford of all those contributors working in the manufacturing plants, whether in the US, or EU, or in China. Without their contribution, there is no safe flight to talk about. Lets us salute their unwavering efford to make commercial air flight safe for everyone.
每一位航空乘客都应该记住,无论是在美国、欧盟还是中国,所有在工厂的劳动者都付出了辛勤的努力。没有他们的贡献,就谈不上安全的飞行。让我们向他们为确保每个人的商业飞行安全所做的不懈努力致敬。

First impression is I like the C919. Cabin appears spacious, seats very good and lavatory good too. Overall I would be happy to fly. Glad you made this vlog. Thanks.
第一印象我就喜欢C919了。客舱显得宽敞,座位很好,卫生间也不错。总的来说,我很乐意坐C919飞机。

The significance of C919 is not only the aircraft, but the industrial structure brought by the aircraft, but also the industrial structure behind it, as well as industrial upgrading. Just imagine the high-speed rail that was just born that year, which will bring huge commercial development to China.
C919的意义不仅在于飞机本身,更在于飞机带来的产业结构,更在于其背后的产业结构以及产业升级。想象一下当年刚刚诞生的高铁,给中国带来惊人的商业发展。

Love that you spoke Chinese in this video. Been studying Chinese for 3 months now and I could actually understand quite a bit! Comprehensible input really helps. (3/5h a day)
我已经学了三个月中文了,实际上我能听懂很多!确实有帮助。(每天学习三五个小时)
bd8594
3 months? That’s really impressive
学习3个月了啊?很不错嘛
zhiweiho6120
Yeah,but Chinese is too hard for foreigners to learn
Keep learning it!我相信你能學好的
是的,外国人学习汉语太难了
继续学习!我相信你能学好的

@bd8594 Yeah! I was surprised as well to be honest. Still studying Chinese everyday. :)
是啊!老实说,我也很惊讶。仍然每天学习中文

@zhiweiho6120 I study Simplified Chinese but will definitely study Traditional after. :)
我学习简体中文,以后肯定也会学习繁体中文的

The leg space in economy seating looks surprisingly spacious. The galley and bathrooms being more spacious than the B737 and A320 is also surprising. How is it the same width and height as the A320 but more spacious on the inside? I normally don't like narrow-body airplanes but I think I'd be amenable to using one in the configuration that this C919 used.
经济型座椅的腿部空间看起来出奇的宽敞。厨房和卫生间比波音737和空客320更宽敞,令人惊讶。
它的宽度和高度与A320相同,是如何做到内部更宽敞的?我通常不喜欢窄体飞机,不过以后可以体验下C919了

No matter whether you like China or not, it indeed made it! For the civil aviation market, having one more competitor is always better for us passengers and aviation enthusiasts. This means that we will be able to sit on more comfortable and safer planes in the future.
不管你喜不喜欢中国,中国C919确实成功了!对于民航市场来说,多一个竞争对手对我们乘客和航空爱好者来说总是更好的。这意味着我们以后能够坐在更舒适、更安全的飞机上。

Congratulations to COMAC. Looking to go to China in a few years and want to visit many places throughout the country. I will undoubtedly book flights on their planes.
祝贺中国商飞。想在几年后去中国,想参观中国各地。毫无疑问,我会预订他们的C919航班。

Looks cool. As an aviation enthusiast, I would definitely want to try it but I don't think the West will easily certify it because it will hurt their business even with all the Western systems on board.
看起来很酷。作为一名航空爱好者,我肯定想体验一下。不过,我认为西方不会轻易让它通过认证的,即使所有系统都是采用西方的,这也会损害他们的业务。
jfz9125
China can make a all home made plane,remeber the y20 is a Boeing777 class big plane,much bigger than c919. The use of the western system is the invitation to the certification
中国造得出一架全国产的飞机,记住运20是波音777级的大飞机,比c919大得多。使用西方体系,才可能获得认证

C919 is really like those DIY PCs where you get all the great parts from all over the world and assemble it into one of a kind.
C919真的很像那些DIY组装起来的电脑,你可以从世界各地获得各种先进的零件,并将其组装成独一无二的产品。

Awesome, thanks for sharing this first experience on the C919, let's see if they are able to expand into the western market.
太棒了,谢谢你分享第一次乘坐C919的体验,让我们看看他们是否能够扩展到西方市场。

The C919 looks like a fantastic jet, and after a few years proving itself in China, there will likely be a market for it in the rest of the world, but it especially looks like China Eastern Airlines knows how to provide a great in-flight experience.
C919看起来像一架梦幻般的喷气式飞机,在中国市场证明自己几年后,它很可能会拓展到世界其他市场,看起来中国东方航空公司知道如何为乘客提供出色的飞行体验。
babyface1956
It seems like a remarkable aircraft. The Chinese people must be proud. Hopefully international certification occurs in the near future. I'd fly the C919 for sure.
似乎是一架了不起的飞机。中国人民一定感到自豪。希望不久的将来能获得国际认证。我肯定会乘坐C919的。

Any competiton is great for the industry, especially for the passengers. Hope Comac do well and bring us more advanced aviation just like China's railway and other transportation.
任何竞争对行业来说都是好事,尤其是对乘客来说。希望中国商飞再接再厉,给我们带来更先进的客机,就像中国的铁路和其他交通一样给力。

More competition is always good. Here’s to more plane manufacturers entering the market with safe and good products. Well done!
更多的竞争总是好事。欢迎更多的飞机厂商带来安全优质的产品进入市场。干得好!
