ARJ-21中国航空梦想

ARJ-21-China's Aviation Dream

制造中国自己的民用飞机,在航空领域与国外巨头一较高下一直是中国人的梦想。然而这个梦一做就是三十年,其中的辛苦酸楚和曲折历程绝非一般人能够了解和体会。资金,技术和市场牵动着现实与梦境中的每一根神经。

After 30 years of painful exploration,China finally decided to build ARJ-21 which fits the nation's present scientific level and manufacturing ability.As China's most recent commercial aircraft,ARJ-21 is designed and manufactured completely by China itself.Four plane manufacturers from Chengdu,Xi'an,Shenyang and Shanghai are cooperating with each other aud making different parts of the plane.China regards ARJ-21 as the last chance to rapidly develop it's own commercial aviation industry.However,it's still uncertain for ARJ-21 to succeed because it will have to face fierce competition from two existing counterparts--CRJ and ERJ.Different from many past important projects,ARJ- 21 will not be totally sponsored by Chinese central government,although China will provide taxation and scentific support.As a commercial project,ARJ-21 must prove to be profitable.In order to launch the project, ACAC has invested RMB 5 billion into it.ACAC will have to wait for at least 15 years before taking back the investment.
