China´s first commercial big jet company takes off WATCH VIDEOSource: CCTV.com 05-11-2008 12:59 China's 1st commercial super-jumbo jet company has just been launched in Shanghai.
The company has 19-million in registered capital and will be responsible for developing, making and marketing the first made-in-China jumbo jet.
The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission will be the biggest share holder with 6 million yuan. The second largest stake holder is a conglomerate between the Shanghai Municipal Government, Avic I and Avic II. The firm will build planes with a take-off weight of more than 100 tons, or planes with more than 150 seats.
The president of the newly-established Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China Ltd (CACC) said its guiding principle of becoming an independent, competitive civil aircraft manufacturer will not affect the company's openness to international collaboration.
"We welcome foreign suppliers, and will purchase engines and other on-board systems and facilities from them because we believe in mutual benefit," Jin Zhuanglong said in an interview on Saturday.
Earlier media reports quoted Laurence Barron, president of Airbus China, as saying that the European aircraft maker is looking for any possibility of collaboration with Chinese partners on the program
According to Zhang, CACC had received the support of global heavyweights such as Boeing, Airbus, GE, Honeywell and Bombardier in its formative stage.
Jin Qiansheng, head of the management committee of Yanliang State High-tech Aviation Industry Base, said: "China's jumbo jet program will not pose a threat to Boeing and Airbus, at least in the coming 20 years. Even when China has the capacity to produce large jets, it would be able to meet only a small part of domestic demand. Boeing and Airbus will continue to claim a big chunk of the Chinese market."
Jin Zhuanglong said the company's most pressing task is to nurture talents in design. CACC plans to send young aircraft designers abroad for further study and training, and meanwhile, invite global experts to join the company, he said.

Lol , mate , France cant get his share from China does not mean that Uk or Gr have to follow the free-commercially minded French people They seems collaborate quite well with China When one becomes a loser, he cant blame his mates, France is abandon by China and was made fun by UK and GR!The latter two got the enormous commercial order, as for France----RIEN!
to be honest i hope China get more high-tech. The Japanese are quite advanced. China won't catch up by 2020. Let's wait and see how the two giants go in the future. I doubt there will be another conflight between the two because Jibao/Jintao/Aso/Hatoyama are not dangerous people.
