China Manufactured Passenger Aircraft

China have produced their own passenger aircarft and it has successfully launched in Shanghai recently. In a way it is good that China has the ability to manufacture and produce their own aircraft, and it has given the world another options to think of when ordering passenger aircraft.

How fast China has growth over the last 10 years or so is there proven and seen by all of us. They have no doubt become an important leader of world economy and their wealthiness is affecting the world's as well.

By saying that, we have also heard a lot about the quality of china-made products. How good they really are and is there really any Quality Control of their product? Are they invented the parts themselve or they are copying from others? Have they pass the International Aviation Association's regulation for safety? Are they complying with their regulation in manufacturing the aircraft?

We may have heard too many of such story that design were copied, products being duplicated and cloned etc. Thus we tends to have a thinking that China products are mostly sub-standard. All these are questions we will all asked. It may be unfair to put such comment on their products, as there may be tons good and excellent products from China being sold either locally in China or export to worldwide. Unfortunately there tends to be a minority who always take advantages of such situation and trying to conned their way through.

Of the aircraft they produced, I would say it is a big step forward for China, and it may be good for the industry's competition, that has been monopolised by Boeng and Air Bus. But one thing still concern me most is the safety of the plane. As we know, aircraft safety is the most important issue to be address among all others, and hopefully it has comply to all the international regulation standard. In saying so, I would still prefer to take air craft from US or Europe for the time being until this Chinese made aircraft is fully tested and proven.
