Chinese and Russian jets get western parts: COMAC chooses CFM, Irkut selects Rockwell Collins
miércoles, 30 de diciembre de 2009
China's C919 programme is rapidly gathering momentum, with COMAC
selecting CFM's new engine, the LEAP-X, as the sole western powerplant
for the aircraft. The deal, worth at least USD5 billion, is a
validation of the Chinese development strategy pursued by both GE and
SAFRAN Group, which each control 50% of the CFM joint venture.
Meanwhile, the new Russian narrowbody, the MC-21, is also forging
ahead, with Irkut, part of the United Aircraft Corporation
conglomerate, selecting Rockwell Collins to provide avionics and pilot
controls for the new family of aircraft.
