Chinese technology flying at Paris Air Show
An
increasing number of Chinese aviation companies are attending the air show held
in Pairs, displaying cutting-edge aerospace technology at the event and in a
bid to establish strategic cooperation with global partners.
China
Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), one of the Fortune Global
500 firms, showcased its launch vehicles and satellites such as the LM-7,
together with the LM-8 and the LM-11 at the event.
As the
leading force in China’s space industry, CASC said it also introduced China’s
BeiDou Navigation System, the three-step plan of its manned spaceflight and the
lunar exploration project at the show, according to the official website of
CASC.
The
Aviation Industry Corporation of China Ltd (AVIC) also showcased a range of
selected defense products including fighters, trainers, UAVs, military helicopters
and transport aircrafts.
The
fifth-generation FC-31 multi-role stealth fighter could also be spotted at the
stand, together with the JF-17 multi-role fighter, jointly developed by China
and Pakistan, Wing Loong’s MALE UAV System, the L15 advanced trainer with
attack and air combat capability, the brand-new medium attack helicopter
Z-10ME, the 4-ton attack helicopter Z-19E, and the Y-9E, a new generation
multi-role transport aircraft, according to a note sent to the Global Times on Tuesday, June 18.
The
double-seat JF-17 and the AC312E helicopter made their international air show
debut.
AVIC
also displayed a portfolio of civil products including the MA700 passenger
aircraft, the AC312E helicopter, and the Y-12E/F commuter aircraft.
The
MA700 has currently received 285 orders from 11 customers. The middle fuselage
and nose structure have been delivered for the first MA700 static stress test,
which is expected to roll out this year.
AVIC
advocates for mutually beneficial cooperation as reflected in its specialized
ability at this year's air show and it pays considerable attention to showing
its capacity and tap into the market with all its partners, the company said in
a note sent to the Global Times on
Tuesday, June 18.
The
Commercial Aircraft Corp of China, the producer of the locally-made C919, not
only brought the ARJ, the C919 and the CR929 models, but also showed a CBJ
business jet model, displaying that the company is diversifying its product
portfolio.
“The
number of attendees was more than that at past events, not only were there
state-owned enterprises, but also more private companies as far as I could see,”
Richard Wang, a sales director of Beijing China Promotion Ltd told the Global Times on June 18.
He has
attended six Paris air shows since 2007.
It is
necessary to see state-owned enterprises join the event, because they are
representing the level of the Chinese aerospace industry, which is an important
part of China’s global aviation industry, and private companies are also an
important aspect of the industry, he added.
The
Paris Air Show is one of the largest international aerospace exhibitions in the
world. The show has attracted more than 2,400 companies and organizations from
about 50 countries and regions.
