Airbus A220 aircraft leads a new era of high -efficiency single -channel aircraft

As the global aviation industry has gradually recovered from the influence of the new crown pneumonia's epidemic, development and growth have become the most watched theme in the industry. According to the latest market analysis, domestic and inter -regional routes, which are dominated by single -channel aircraft, will take the lead in restoring and growing. Recently, the global market performance has also confirmed this view. In the single -channel aircraft market, a market -level level has not been fully developed, and there is a huge room for development, which is the 100-150 small single -channel aircraft market.

According to the latest global market forecast (2021 ~ 2040), the world's 100-150 aircraft market will need 7250 new aircraft to add new capacity and update old aircraft in the next 20 years. Among them, the Chinese market will need about 1,000 100 ~ 150 planes.

The "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan" Civil Aviation Development Plan issued by the Civil Aviation Administration proposes that it is necessary to build a "three systems" of a comprehensive and systematic modern national comprehensive airport system, convenient and efficient aviation transportation network system, and safe and reliable production operation guarantee system; Improve the layout of non -hub airports, build a new number of non -hub airports, focusing on the deployment of airports in the central and western regions and border areas. According to the plan, by 2025, the number of domestic civil transport airports will reach 270, and it will further increase. The northwest of the Hu Huanyong line with the Heihe -Tengchong line. This area with relatively low population density, long distance between cities, and relatively inconvenient land traffic contain huge aviation market potential. At the same time, according to the market research of airbasus, the domestic civil aviation market will add 3,000 cities (routes) in the next 10 years, most of which will be located in the central and western and third -tier cities markets.

Due to the different levels of economic development in China, the level of aviation transportation development in the central and western regions and second and third -tier cities in China is also significantly different from first -tier cities in the East developed regions. According to statistics, most of the domestic markets are large single -channel aircraft with close or more than 160 seats, which is far higher than the number of seats required to connect the routes that connect the central and western regions and the second and third -tier markets. China's future route market development requires more advanced and efficient small single -channel aircraft to more accurately meet market demand.

In the 100 ~ 150 small single -channel aircraft market, the Airbus A220 series aircraft is a high -efficiency new model that perfectly matches the demand for such route markets. As a new design model, Airbus A220 has extremely high voyage adaptability. At present, the longest distance is 2440 nautical miles in the commercial routes operated by this model (Latvia Airfa Airport -Spanish Terri Airport), Its maximum range can reach 3,450 nautical miles (about 6400 kilometers), making it possible for airlines to operate with a relatively small passenger flow in the same size but a long range of navigable range.

Due to the use of high -efficiency aerodynamic design and 40%of advanced materials (carbon fiber, titanium alloy, etc.), and the PW1500G gear transmission turbofan engine, the Airbus A220 can save saves compared with the previous generation models. As high as 25%of operating costs and reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions by 25%, it can also reduce the noise level of up to 50%.

The new design of Airbus A220 is reflected in all aspects of this aircraft, and it also brings a comprehensive comfortable experience to passengers in the cabin design. The width of the Airbus A220 series aircraft cabin reaches 3.28 meters, and 5 seats are set up in the economy class. This means that every passenger taking the Airbus A220 series aircraft can enjoy a seat space with a width of at least 18 inches (45.72 cm) or more, which is at a leading level among aircraft at the same level. The side wall of the cabin of the Airbus A220 is more vertical, providing more shoulder space for passengers in the window seats and improved comfort. The size of the luggage above the head is equally dazzling in the same level aircraft, making passengers have more storage space. The cabin light uses a full -color LED atmosphere light that can customize the scene. The various gorgeous lighting effects that are loved by passengers can be easily achieved on the Airbus A220. Airbus A220 can also select the satellite network, providing passengers with high -speed and stable Internet access to passengers anytime, anywhere, seamlessly connected to the world.

Airbus A220 has been widely welcomed in the global market. As of May 2022, more than 25 customers in the world have ordered 741 Airbus A220 series, of which more than 210 have been delivered to 15 operators to put it into use. 300, more than 700 flights. And even during the period when the global aviation market was severely affected by the new crown pneumonia, and had to stop a large number of aircraft, Airbus A220 was still a priority choice for airline route operations. The use rate of Airbus A220 during the impact of the epidemic is much higher than the same models of the previous generation. The Airbus A220 fleet with three mainstream airlines in the world has maintained a nearly 100%utilization rate.

In addition, this aircraft product is full of Chinese elements.The stable and in -depth cooperation between the aviation industry between China and the European Europe has domestic parts of domestic production, and Airbus A220 is no exception.A total of 15 suppliers in China provide materials, components and assembly services to Airbus A220.Among them, the aviation industry Shen Fei International is one of the most important suppliers of the Airbus A220 project, and supplies the front fuselage, rear fuselage, mid -body, cabin and tail vertebrae workpack for Airbus A220.With the recovery of the Chinese civil aviation market and the construction of aviation markets in the central and western regions and second- and third -tier cities, I believe that this excellent model full of Chinese elements will have the opportunity to come to us in the near future and serve China.Chinese passengers provide a comfortable and high -quality experience.(China Civil Aviation Newspaper Zhang Renyin)
