Here is the complete translation of the provided text into English:
China's large aircraft C919 failed to secure any international orders at the Singapore Airshow.
Does this mean it has already failed in the international market? Such a conclusion may be too hasty.
Firstly, we can look at C919's performance in the domestic Chinese market.
Since its maiden flight in 2022, China's three major state-owned airlines have placed orders for over 1,000 C919 aircraft, making them the largest customers of domestically-produced large aircraft.
Is this just a "face project," or does C919 indeed have the capability to compete with Boeing and Airbus?
It cannot be denied that C919 continues to improve and enhance.
Based on current performance parameters, it has reached a level comparable to Boeing 737 and Airbus A320, and even surpasses them in certain core indicators.
This lays a solid foundation for its future entry into the international market.
The reasons for not securing orders at the Singapore Airshow are understandable.
Firstly, airshows primarily serve as platforms for showcasing and promoting new products;
actual procurement often requires more technical exchanges and business negotiations.
Secondly, C919 still needs to obtain airworthiness certification from the US and the EU, which directly affects its ability to enter these two major markets.
Therefore, the Singapore Airshow is just the beginning of C919's internationalization process.
Currently, C919 faces many challenges to achieve breakthroughs in the international market.
Firstly, it needs to overcome technical barriers.
Although C919 has passed domestic airworthiness certification, the requirements of US and European regulatory agencies are often stricter, involving not only aircraft hardware but also materials, design concepts, and many other aspects, all of which need to undergo rigorous testing.
Secondly, it needs to establish its market brand. Currently, the international aviation market is dominated by Boeing and Airbus.
For C919 to carve out a niche, it must demonstrate technological strength and cost-effectiveness comparable to these two giants.
At the same time, it needs to build brand image during promotion to instill confidence in potential customers.
Thirdly, it needs to perfect its production capacity and supply.
If C919 receives large-scale orders in the future, whether the entire industry chain can respond in a timely manner will be a critical issue.
After all, manufacturing each jet airliner requires the coordinated efforts of thousands of enterprises, testing the supply chain's coordination capabilities.
Of course, these challenges are not insurmountable.
With continuous efforts in technological research and development, market marketing, and production manufacturing, C919 has the potential to succeed in the international market.
Who can say that C919 will not achieve remarkable results in the future?
In hindsight, perhaps we have been too concerned about C919's performance at the Singapore Airshow.
Just as the bloom of a tree is not merely the blossoming of one flower, for the new domestic large aircraft C919, the Singapore trip is just a new starting point. The future achievements are worth looking forward to.
To further explore C919's market potential and challenges, we can examine it from a broader perspective.
The global aviation market competition is fierce, with Boeing and Airbus occupying dominant positions for a long time.
They not only have strong brand influence but also mature technology and extensive customer base.
However, with the continuous growth in global aviation market demand, the rise of emerging markets, and technological advancements, newcomers like C919 have more opportunities.
Firstly, global aviation market demand is continuously growing.
According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA) forecast, global air passenger traffic is expected to double by 2038, reaching 8.2 billion passenger journeys.
This provides enormous market space for new aircraft like C919.
With the economic development of more countries and regions, the demand for air travel is also increasing, providing opportunities for C919 to enter the market.
Secondly, the rise of emerging markets provides new opportunities for C919.
The aviation markets in Asia, Africa, and Latin America are rapidly developing, with increasing demand for new efficient aircraft.
With its advanced technology and relatively low cost, C919 has the potential to find its place in these emerging markets.
In addition, China's Belt and Road Initiative provides more opportunities for the promotion and application of C919.
Through cooperation with countries along the route, C919 can better open up the international market.
Furthermore, the success of C919 depends not only on technology and market but also on strong policy support and international cooperation.
The Chinese government has been strongly supporting the development of domestically-produced large aircraft, providing various policies and financial support, creating a favorable environment for the development of C919.
At the same time, cooperation with international airlines is also an important way for C919 to enter the international market.
Through cooperation with international airlines, C919 can better understand market demand and enhance its competitiveness.
However, as C919 enters the international market, it still faces various challenges. Firstly, there is the issue of international market trust.
Despite C919's excellent performance in the domestic market, there are still concerns about its technology and safety performance in the international market.
How to gain the trust of the international market is an important issue that C919 must face.
Secondly, there is the issue of airworthiness certification. Although C919 has passed domestic airworthiness certification, international markets, especially Europe and the United States, have stricter requirements for airworthiness certification.
How to smoothly pass these certifications is crucial for C919 to enter the international market.
In addition, production capacity is also an important challenge for C919. As orders increase in the future, how to ensure production capacity and quality is a problem that C919 must solve.
The internationalization process of C919 is full of challenges but also full of opportunities.
Through continuous improvement of technological levels, optimization of market strategies, and strengthening of production capacity, C919 has the potential to succeed in the international market.
For the future of C919, we should maintain an optimistic attitude.
Although there are many challenges at present, as long as we have confidence and continue to work hard, C919 has the potential to establish a foothold in the international market.
In the long run, the success of C919 is not only the achievement of China's commercial aircraft but also an important milestone for China's manufacturing industry.
It signifies China's continuous breakthroughs and progress in the high-end manufacturing field.
Through the research and production of C919, China has accumulated a wealth of technology and experience, laying a solid foundation for more high-end manufacturing projects in the future.
At the same time, the success of C919 will also have a positive impact on China's economy and society.
Firstly, it will drive the development of related industries.
The aviation manufacturing industry is a technology-intensive and capital-intensive industry.
Its development will promote the common development of the upstream and downstream industrial chains, creating a large number of job opportunities.
Secondly, the success of C919 will enhance China's international influence.
As a domestically-produced large aircraft, the success of C919 will demonstrate China's strength in the high-end manufacturing field, enhancing China's image and status internationally.
This is of great significance for promoting China's economic cooperation and technological exchanges globally.
Finally, the success of C919 will inspire more Chinese enterprises to continuously innovate and break through in the high-end manufacturing field.
It will become an important benchmark for the development of China's manufacturing industry, inspiring more enterprises to pursue excellence and push China's manufacturing industry to a higher level.
The internationalization journey of C919 is full of challenges but also full of opportunities.
