The following passage describes China's involvement in Boeing's new generation passenger aircraft, the 787. The significance of the article is China has the capability to produced composite aircraft components at world class level. Apparently China has applied its composite tennis racket technology to the aviation industry.

Quote:

For now, another foreign contract is what Liu is most pleased about. AVIC I and its sister organization, AVIC II, will be sole suppliers of composite structures for the Boeing 787. "The size is not very big," he says of the contract signed in June 2005. "But what is so meaningful is that we work with the OEM from the very beginning of the project. It's the first time we are the sole supplier from the very beginning. We are determined to do the job well."

The $ 600 million 787 contract includes construction of the composite rudder by AVIC I's Chengdu Aircraft Industrial Group, wing-to-body fairing panels by AVIC II's Hafei Aviation Industry Co., and the leading-edge assembly for the vertical fin by AVICS I's Shenyang Aircraft Corp.

We know that it is done in the city of Tianjin
http://english.people.com.cn/200607/...19_284689.html

Quote:

Laurence Barron, President of Airbus China, stressed recently that personnel changes in the senior administration of Airbus and its parent company would not affect the progress of general assembly line of Airbus A320 in China. At present Airbus is negotiating the details of the program with the Chinese Industrial Union headed by the Tianjin Municipal Government. It is promising the feasibility research will be finished in autumn and then construction of the factory can begin. China is the first market to become part of Airbus'global development strategy.

Laurence Barron also stated that although the Airbus A320s will be assembled in Tianjin, none of the parts are produced there. However, some parts of Airbuses are now made in China, such as ports, which are made in Chengdu, the regional capital of southwest China's Sichuan province, and Xi'an, the regional capital of northwest China's Shanxi province, and airfoils made in Xi'an.

It is estimated that of the Airbus A320s, 15 to 20 percent of the parts are now made in China. With the introduction of a general assembly line for Airbus A320s, the proportion is sure to be enlarged.

It is estimated to produce the first in 2008

Recently, Tianjin Tianbao Engineering Consulting Co., Ltd was commissioned by Construction Office of Tianjin Airport lndustrial Park to issue tender notices for the Airbus 320 plane assembly plant in China. This means the A320 plane assembly plant has entered the preparation stage and will be constructed soon.

The National Development and Reform Commission of China announced that Airbus SAS (Airbus) had chosen Tianjin Binhai New Area as the location for its A320 plane assembly plant. This is the first time Airbus has located its plane assembly plant outside Europe. According to a contract signed between Airbus and the Chinese side, Airbus will produce 4 A320 planes per month in the first phase of the assembly plant and the first plane will be delivered in 2008.

In order to complete the project on schedule, Tianjin has decided to tighten its schedule and issued various tender notices relating to project design, construction and management.

After reading articles on the F-22, I had the impression that supercruise(flying supersonic without using afterburners) was a new technical achievement. Actually the ability to supercruise was achieved about 30 years ago. The Russian Tu-144 SST passenger plane (and the Anglo-French Concorde SST as well) can supercruise at Mach 2 (older Tu-144 models supercruise at Mach 1.6).

tphuang · 10-16-2006

not really sure what this means for the Chinese aviation industry, but I found this on the newswire.

Quote:

By Jianguo Jiang
Oct. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Xi'an Aircraft International Corp., a
Chinese supplier of parts to Boeing Co. and Airbus SAS, agreed to
pay about 3.2 billion yuan ($405 million) in stock to buy
factories from its parent. The shares surged to a record.
The acquisition, which includes production lines for the
ARJ21 and MA60 regional planes, will probably boost net income
about sevenfold to 440 million yuan ($56 million) next year, the
company said in a statement to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange today.
China is developing the 70- to 90-seat ARJ21 as a competitor
to imports from foreign manufacturers such as Bombardier Inc. and
Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica SA. China will probably add 798
regional jets by 2024 as demand for domestic air travel expands,
China Aviation Industry Corp. I, the country's biggest aircraft
maker, said last year.
``It's a big change for us,'' company spokesman Hao Zhanfu
said of the acquisition in a telephone interview from the
northwestern city of Xi'an. ``Our earnings will keep rising.''
Xi'an Aircraft shares rose by their 10 percent daily limit
to close at an all-time high of 11.83 yuan on the Shenzhen
exchange as they resumed trading after a three-week suspension.
The stock has jumped 158 percent this year, outpacing a 60
percent gain in the Shenzhen Composite Index.

Regional Jets

Earnings gains will be contributed by an increase in
components supplied to Boeing and Airbus, the ARJ21 project and
high production of MA60 jets, Hao said.
Xi'an Aircraft's parent makes wings and bodies for the ARJ21,
which has yet to make its commercial debut. China Aviation
Industry, the plane's manufacturer, in May delayed the model's
first flight for at least a year.
AVIC I, as the company is known, has won 41 orders for the
ARJ21 from domestic carries including Hainan Airlines Co.,
Shanghai Airlines Co. and Shandong Airlines Co. Deliveries of the
aircraft will start in 2008, AVIC I President Liu Gaozhuo said in
Beijing on May 24.
Brazil's Embraer, which has a venture in China to make
regional aircraft, said in February orders have not matched
expectations as the country's airlines focus on bigger passenger
planes. Embraer and Canada's Bombardier are the world's biggest
makers of aircraft that carry fewer than 100 people.

Parts Supply

China's economy has grown an average of 10 percent for the
past three years, boosting demand for business and leisure air
travel. Boeing forecasts the country will be the second-largest
market for commercial planes after the U.S., with demand for
2,600 airliners valued at $213 billion over the next 20 years.
Xi'an Aircraft will increase parts supply to Boeing and
Airbus, the largest makers of commercial jets, to $70 million
next year from $50 million this year, Hao said. The company will
make 20 60-seat MA60 planes in 2007, up from 8 this year, he said.
Boeing has sourced about $700 million worth of hardware from
China. More than 3,900 Boeing airplanes, or about 30 percent of
its fleet flying around the world, are equipped with parts built
in China, according to the company.
Airbus in June picked the northern Chinese city of Tianjin
as the site for a proposed assembly plant for its A320 aircraft.
Xi'an Aircraft plans to offer 660 million new yuan-
denominated shares, including at least 363 million shares to its
parent Xi'an Aircraft Group Co., and 297 million shares to nine
other unidentified investors, at 9 yuan each, the company said in
today's statement. That's a 16 percent discount to the closing
share price of 10.75 yuan on Sept. 22.
The share offer will increase the parent's stake in Xi'an
Aircraft to more than 50 percent from 43.5 percent, according to
Hao. The purchase will increase Xi'an Aircraft's net income from
an estimated 63 million yuan in 2006, the company said in its
statement.

the latest on China and the A-320 assembly. Looked like that assembly line cost 300 orders.

Quote:

Oct. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Airbus SAS, trailing Boeing Co. in new
business this year, won an order from Chinese airlines for 150 A320
planes and agreed to set up a factory in Tianjin to win a greater
share of sales in the world's second-largest aviation market.
The factory in eastern China, Airbus's first final assembly
plant outside of Europe, will eventually produce as many as four of
the A320 planes a month, said Chief Executive Officer Louis
Gallois. The plane order is worth $10 billion at list prices.
``It's a very good step of cooperation between China and the
European industries,'' Gallois said at a press conference today in
Beijing. ``There will be more of these steps.'' Gallois is one of
more than two dozen chief executives accompanying French President
Jacques Chirac on a state visit to China.
Airbus has been rocked by delays in the 555-seat A380 model
and the success of Boeing's long-range 787 Dreamliner. The A380s
are now about two years behind schedule and cost overruns will
reduce parent company European Aeronautic, Defence & Space Co.'s
profit by 4.8 billion euros ($6.1 billion) through 2010.
``Airbus was way behind Boeing and this allows them to catch
up part of the way,'' said Pierre Boucheny, an analyst at Kepler
Equities in Paris who has a ``reduce'' rating on EADS. ``The
assembly line in China is a good thing for Airbus and the Chinese
are paying for it with orders.''
Shares of EADS rose as much as 97 cents, or 4.7 percent, to
21.79 euros and were up 3.9 percent at 2:37 p.m. in Paris. The
stock is down 32 percent this year compared with a 15 percent gain
for Chicago-based Boeing.

Skybus Order

Airbus today also won an order for 65 of the single-aisle A319
planes from Skybus, a new low-fare airline based in Columbus, Ohio.
At list price, the purchase would be worth $4.3 billion. Airlines
generally get substantial discounts for large orders. In standard
configuration, the A319s seat 124 passengers while A320s take 150.
The U.S. planemaker has been leading Toulouse, France-based
Airbus in orders this year by a margin of more than 3 to 1. Boosted
by demand for the 787, Boeing had orders for 753 planes through
Oct. 17 compared with 226 for Airbus through September, according
to figures on their Web sites. Airbus maintained its lead in
deliveries by 320 to 295 through September.
China has been one of Airbus's bright spots over the last five
years. According to the Ascend database of Airclaims, a London-
based consulting company, Airbus won orders for 333 planes compared
with 303 for Boeing between Jan. 1, 2001, and Sept. 14. Because the
U.S. company began selling planes in China years before Airbus, 63
percent of the 994 Western-built large commercial aircraft operated
in China as of Sept. 14 were Boeings, according to the database.

China Orders

The latest order for 150 of the single-aisle A320s comes on
top of a similar 150-plane purchase agreed upon in December, said
Airbus's China President Laurence Barron. The first of the 150
planes ordered today will be delivered in 2009, he said. The
Tianjin factory will begin operating in 2009 and get up to capacity
of four planes a month by 2011, Airbus said.
``The Tianjin plant will not have enough capacity to fill the
entire order by China so some of those planes will have to come
from elsewhere,'' Barron said.
China also signed a letter of intent to buy 20 Airbus A350
aircraft, which Airbus is redesigning to compete with Boeing's 787
model. The A350 carries a list price of between $158.6 million and
$182.6 million. Coupled with the A320 order, today's transaction is
the largest ever for Airbus in China, the company said today in a
faxed statement.
China ordered 150 Boeing 737s in two separate contracts from
November 2005. The Boeing 737 competes with the Airbus A320.

Economic Growth

Economic growth is spurring travel demand in China, the
second-largest air travel market after the U.S. Passenger numbers
will probably rise 17 percent in 2006, from 138.3 million last
year, the aviation regulator said on Sept. 12.
Travel demand in the country may grow at an annual rate of 8.7
percent until 2016, the London-based World Travel & Tourism Council
said in March.
The country's airlines are struggling to turn this rising
traffic into profit, as government restriction on ticket prices
have prevented them from raising fares enough to cover higher jet
fuel prices. Airlines in China lost 2.57 billion yuan ($325
million) in the first half, according to the country's aviation
regulator.
Chinese airlines are among the world biggest buyers of single-
aisle aircraft, which carry about 150 passengers and are used
mainly on domestic routes of up to 3,000 nautical miles (5,556
kilometers).
The country is also spending a total of 140 billion yuan on
airports, as it seeks to develop flights to regional centers. The
country is expanding half of its 142 existing airports and plans to
build another 49 by 2010, the aviation regulator said on Sept. 12.
The number of airports will rise to 224 by 2020.
China orders aircraft centrally through the China Aviation
Supplies Import and Export Group, and then allocates them to
individual airlines.

　　国防科工委副主任透露八项航空航天任务

　　新快报珠海讯　(特派记者陈志龙邢冉冉通讯员李意辉)在昨天的中国国际航空航天高峰论坛上，国防科工委副主任金壮龙表示，未来5年是我国航空航天事业的重要机遇期。

新浪抢宝广告免费超新楼盘
买房答疑城市生活新主张

他同时透露了未来5年中国航空航天的八项主要任务和目标：2008年，我国航天员将实现出舱“太空漫游”， 2010年将实现航天器太空对接，而大型飞机的开发设计，也将在5年内完成……

　　已为国际客户发射30颗卫星

　　金壮龙表示，今年是中国航天事业创建50周年。经过半个世纪的不懈努力，中国航空航天工业取得了举世瞩目的成就。已成功研制生产了数十种型号的歼击机、强击机、轰炸机、直升机、侦察机、教练机、无人驾驶飞机，为国内客户提供了一万余架各类军民用飞机，向十多个国家出口了500多架飞机及配套产品和生产线；成功研制了12种拥有自主
知识产权的“长征”系列运载
火箭，发展形成了“东方红”、“风云”、“实践”、“资源”、“北斗”等6个卫星系列。据介绍，近十年来，我国已成功发射51次人造卫星，并为国际客户发射了30颗卫星。

　　首架ARJ21飞机明年总装

　　据介绍，5年内，新支线ARJ21-700飞机将完成研制取证，进入市场并实现批量生产。新支线飞机项目是中国坚持自主研制的第一个民用飞机项目，也是发展大型飞机的前提。ARJ21飞机是世界上首架完全按照中国自己的自然环境来建立设计标准的飞机，整体设计达到国际支线飞机先进水平，适应以中国西部高温高原机场起降和复杂航路越障为目标的营运要求，适合国内城市间开通较短距航线。目前，ARJ21已进入全面试制阶段，按计划进度，明年底，新支线飞机ARJ 21完成首架飞机总装，2010年达到年产11架飞机。

　　5年内开发设计国产大飞机

　　由于没有大飞机，中国民航业曾面临这样的尴尬：“出口8亿件衬衣才能换回一架空中客车。”昨天，金壮龙在论坛上宣布，在5年内，中国将开发大型飞机设计与制造成套技术。这意味着，中国已经正式迈进自行研发制造大型飞机(150座以上的干线客机)，国人坐上自产的大飞机，已经为期不远了。

　　2008年航天员将“太空漫游”

　　据中国航天科技集团公司负责人透露，5年内的航天计划还包括：2008年载人航天实现航天员出舱活动，实现“太空漫游”；2010年进行航天器交会对接试验；实现绕月探测，预计明年发射中国第一颗月球探测卫星 “嫦娥一号”，2012年前后，发射月面软着陆探测与“月球车”；发射“风云三号”、“风云四号”气象卫星，取代“风云一号”和“风云二号”。

　　专业氛围越发浓厚。作为中国唯一的国际性专业航展，珠海航展以实物展示、技术交流、商贸洽谈和飞行表演为主要内容，集中展示当今世界航空航天事业发展的最高水平。本届航展期间，10多场具有国际水平的专题研讨会如期召开，其中“2006年中国国际航空航天高峰论坛”是继2002年、2004年高峰论坛后的又一次行业盛会；杨利伟、费俊龙、聂海胜3位中国航天员同赴现场，展示中国航天员的风采，与相关行业机构进行交流。 7'gGAtA(Hy

　　吸引魅力与日俱增。珠海航展不仅吸引了国内航空航天企业积极参展，更成为国外企业抢滩中国市场的前哨阵地。在本届航展上，中国的航空航天企业以集团形象亮相，组织强大阵容参展，全力打造中国航空航天大国形象，展示中国航空航天技术的强劲实力。与此同时，波音公司、空中客车公司、欧洲航天及航空防务公司、罗·罗发动机公司、米格集团等数百家世界知名的航空航天企业也竞相参展。 G<PxIn

　　管理运作日趋成熟。以“国际化、专业化、科学化、市场化、品牌化”为运作要求的珠海航展，为了给参展商和专业观众提供贸易洽谈、产品展示、技术交流的良好环境，将航展分为专业日和公众日，分别向专业观众和一般公众开放。航展参照国际惯例，完全按照市场化的运作规律，以无形资产的开发与经营为突破口，整合航展的各种资源，为航展的可持续、跨越式发展奠定了基础。 \cx12#DK

　　正如本届航展执委会主任、珠海市市长王顺生所说，走过10年发展道路的珠海航展，已成为展示航天航空领域最新成就以及与国际同行进行交流合作的重要平台，同时也是展示改革开放新面貌和综合国力的一个“窗口”，在国际上产生了越来越大的影响，成为世界上重要航展之一。

says that many orders were received. MA-60 received an order for 60 aircrafts, ARJ-21 received 30 orders, snecma received 140 million US of order from AVIC I
And most interestingly, L-15 received 3 orders. I wonder who that's from.
