Domestic aircraft coming to China

On November 2nd, after 8 years of painstaking research and development, the assembly of the Chinese large-scale C919 large passenger aircraft off the assembly line represented a breakthrough in the technology and technology of the domestic medium-range trunk and was a major leap in the domesticization of large passenger aircraft. The author is excited about the big aircraft, but also think of our instrument industry. As an industrial foundation, it is also a top priority for the industry. Localization issues have hindered us for too long. 7 years of research and development of large aircraft, our instrument industry automation should also be where to develop it?

Since the advent of the C919, there have been continuous disputes over whether it is localized or not. In fact, AVIC's core avionics, flight control, and engine are all involved in AVIC; the airframe and aerodynamic layout are almost completed by AVIC and COMAC. From this point of view, China's masters' core technology for R&D is a major breakthrough in China's development. If we look at the instrument again, if imported instruments form a monopoly in the country, the price will usually be as high as several million. However, if a domestic instrument of the same kind comes out, the imported instrument will directly reduce the price to 1.2 million. This apparent price difference reflects the importance of mastering the core technologies in China. China's instrument industry through scientific and technological innovation, independent research and development, will be able to make the price of imported instruments show an exponential decline, which provides domestic instruments with foreign technology and contrast the advantages of domestic instruments provide many opportunities. Therefore, when instrument companies face changes in this price, they must seize opportunities and learn advanced foreign technologies.

So, is the C919 purely domestic? Through the C919 main research and development unit, we can see that the engine uses the GE engine of the United States, the auxiliary power APU is produced by Honeywell of the United States, and the fuel system is produced by the United States Parker Aerospace. The fire monitoring system is produced by CapitaLand and so on. From this point of view, China still has a long way to go in the development of large domestic aircraft. The same applies to the instrumentation. Although China's instrumentation industry is facing the impact of trade, imported instruments are free from the pressure of various taxes, and the impact of imported instrumentation prices, China's instrument industry has begun to achieve technological breakthroughs in some general areas. This time, in the 26th Chongqing Multinational Exhibition, a number of domestic instrument manufacturers have presented their high-tech products, and their technology is also in a leading position internationally. Although foreign technology is referenced in research and development, it is also a domestic instrument. A big boost to chemistry.

As an instrument industry, why do we have to develop more localized instruments, or what advantages can domestic instruments bring to domestic instrument companies? Perhaps we can also learn some from the C919. As the domestic large-scale passenger aircraft, C919 first broke the monopoly of Boeing 747 and Airbus in the field of China Minghang Airlines. At the same time, through the research and development of large passenger aircrafts, the C919 can successfully drive a large number of upstream and downstream industries, such as the field of instruments, and the design of large passenger aircraft. The high-end instrumentation and control systems can enable the instrument industry to increase revenue opportunities and enhance science and technology; in the end, it can train a group of genuine talents. In the same way, localization of the instrument industry can bring:

The first is to break the monopoly of foreign instrumentation industry, accelerate the research and development of its own instrumentation technology, focus on imports, and gradually move closer to exports, striving to enable the instrument industry to maintain balance in import and export, without a huge trade deficit. This will also provide opportunities for domestic instruments to go abroad, and accelerate the integration and transformation of technology.

Secondly, the localization of the instrument industry can bring upgrades in the same industry and upstream and downstream. For example, the research and development of instrumentation technology for large passenger aircrafts can be successfully applied in industry and life, making civil instruments more accurate, and industrial instrumentation improving. The efficiency has been improved, driving the development of the same industry and the upper and lower industries.

Finally, the localization of the instrument industry will provide the country with a large number of talents in the instrument industry. The cultivation of these talents will enhance the R&D and design capabilities of the instrument industry. This is the prerequisite for the domestic instrument industry to occupy a position in the international arena, and also the first basis for China to break through the development of the instrument and improve the overall level.
