China's third home-made passenger plane C919 completes first flight as part of Beijing's trillion-dollar plan to take on western aircraft firms
中國第三架國產客機C919完成首飛，北京斥資上萬億美元與西方飛機製造商較量
China's third home-made passenger plane completed its maiden flight today as the country moves one step closer to its trillion-dollar aviation dreams.
今天中國第三架國產客機完成了首飛，中國向其萬億美元的航空夢又邁進了一步。
The Chinese authorities are planning to replace all 6,000 to 6,800 of its western aircraft at a cost of around $1 trillion (£788 billion), and most of the replacements are expected to be the single-aisle made-in-China jet.
中國當局正計劃斥資約1萬億美元(7880億英鎊)，替換現有的6000-6800架西方飛機，而且大部分的替代品預計將是中國製造的單通道飛機。
Commercial Aircraft Corp of China (COMAC), a Chinese state-owned aviation manufacturer based in Shanghai, spent 11 years and $6.5 billion (£5 billion) developing C919, which has been lauded as China's answer to the Boeing 737 and Airbus 320.
中國商用飛機有限公司(COMAC)，是一家中國國有航空公司總部設在上海，花費65億美元(£50億)歷時11年研發C919，C919被譽為中國版的波音737和空客320。
COMAC is currently assembling three other C919 planes and all of them are expected to complete their first flights next year. It is also developing a wide-body plane, the C929, in cooperation with Russia's United Aircraft Corp.
中國商飛目前正在組裝另外三架C919飛機，預計它們都將在明年完成首飛。該公司還在與俄羅斯聯合航空製造集團(United Aircraft Corp.)合作開發一款寬體飛機C929。
The third narrow-body, twin-engine C919 successfully landed at the Shanghai Pudong International Airport at 12:45pm today after flying for 98 minutes, according to a social media statement from COMAC.
中國商飛在社交媒體上發表聲明稱，第三架窄體雙引擎C919客機在飛行98分鐘後，於今天下午12點45分在上海浦東國際機場成功著陸。
The first two C919s took to the skies for the first time on May 5 and December 17 last year respectively. Both of them are undergoing further flight tests in order to obtain flying certification.
前兩架C919分別於去年5月5日和12月17日完成首飛，這兩架飛機都在進行進一步的飛行試驗，以取得飛行證書。
Sporting white, blue and green livery, the third C919 was manned by pilots Xu Yuanzheng and Zhang Jianwei.
第三架C919機身主要以白色為主,搭配藍色和綠色，由飛行員徐遠徵和張健偉駕駛。
It took off at 11:07am from the fourth runway of the Shanghai Pudong International Airport. It also carried one observer and two engineers on board.
該飛機於上午11:07從上海浦東國際機場第四跑道起飛，機上還載有一名觀察員和兩名工程師。
COMAC said the plane completed 21 test points during the flight. It is expected to undergo further tests in Xi'an after today's flight.
中國商飛表示，這架飛機在飛行中完成了21個試驗點。預計在今天的飛行結束後，它將在習安進行進一步的測試。
COMAC is yet to reveal more details of the maiden flight, such as the plane's height or speed. In May last year, the first C919 reached 10,000 feet with a maximum speed of 170 knots (196 miles per hour or 315 kph) during its maiden flight.
中國商飛尚未透露此次首飛的更多細節，比如飛行的高度或速度。去年5月，第一架C919在首次飛行中達到10000英尺，最高速度為170節(196英裡每小時或315公裡每小時)。
The C919 flight is Beijing's first step toward independence from Boeing and Airbus.
C919是北京擺脫對波音和空客依賴的第一步。。
China is a massive battleground for Boeing and Airbus, with the country's air travel market expected to surpass the United States by 2024, according to the International Air Transport Association.
根據國際航空運輸協會的數據，中國是波音和空客的一個巨大戰場，預計到2024年，中國的航空旅行市場將超過美國。
The aircraft has a flight range of up to 3,451 miles (5,555 kilometres), which means it can fly non-stop from Shanghai to Jakarta or from Paris to Montreal.
C919的航程達3451英裡(5555公裡)，這意味著它可以從上海直飛雅加達或從巴黎直飛蒙特婁。
It can fit 158 to 168 seats. In comparison, different models of Boeing 737 can seat 85 to 215 passengers; while an A320 can accommodate 100 to 240 people.
C919可容納158到168個座位。相比之下，不同型號的波音737可容納85到215名乘客，空客A320可容納100到240人。
COMAC is yet to release the price tag of the jet, but a report by China National Radio predicted that C919 was likely to be sold at £33 million ($43 million), much cheaper than a Boeing 737 or an Airbus 320 which each cost around £62 million ($80 million) and £77 million ($100 million) respectively.
中國商飛尚未公布該飛機的售價,但中國國家廣播電臺的一份報告預測,C919售價可能達到3300萬英鎊(4300萬美元),比波音737或空客320便宜, 波音737售價約為6200萬英鎊(合 8000萬美元), 空客320售價約為7700萬英鎊(合1億美元)。
International Air Transport Association estimated that 927 million people would travel to or from China by air in 2025 - compared to the 904 million passengers to and from the United States.
國際航空運輸協會估計，到2025年，將有9.27億人乘飛機往返中國，而往返美國的旅客人數為9.04億。

If you had the money and motivation to build a car. Wouldn't you take one apart first and see how everything worked before starting? Of course they innovated and borrowed ideas.
如果你有資金也有動力去造飛機，你不防在開始之前先拆開一架看看一切都是如何運作的?借鑑創意，再自主創新。

Just as well that Germany and Japan are still restricted by wartime agreements limiting the type of aircraft they are allowed to build. Poor Old Britania can no longer compete with anyone.

In the six-abreast cabin categoryChina has joined USA (Boeing 737), Russia (Tupolev Tu-204 amd Irkut MC-21) and EU (Airbus A320) in producing a comparable aircraftthere is competition from only 4 other companies, so it will do well I think by grabbing a share of the market.
中國已經加入美國(波音737)、俄羅斯(圖波列夫Tu-204 、Irkut MC-21)和歐盟(空客A320)的行列……這是只有4家公司的競爭，我認為通過搶佔市場份額，中國的表現會不錯的。

If it is govt company, they will ensure quality. And if they will replace everything with it, you have no choice but fly with it if you travel in China, or you can just take the speed train (which is amazing btw) if u dont trust the plane quality.
如果是國企，會有質量保證。如果在中國旅行，別無選擇，只能坐; 如果你不敢坐飛機，你也可以坐高鐵(順便說一句，高鐵棒極了)。

Hardly a Chinese design. Western engines, avionics, etc. some structural components made there and assembled there. Without the critical components from the west that there is one massive paper weight.

In theory, it ought to be reliable and safe, being as it`s built using knock off Western technology. However, being made in China, to their usual corner cutting standards, and using inferior electronic components

Though the air frame is Chinese made, most systems and engines are western, so really the plane is international though it is assembled in China.

It sounds good, add more to the competition. In the past years China improved the quality and is doing very well in overall. For those negative people with bad comments against China, check inside your homes and see how many goods are made in China, Also I'm sure you are using smart phones or computers, check inside to find out how many components are made in China lol.
不錯，增加了競爭。在過去的幾年裡，中國提高了質量，總體上做得很好。對於那些對中國有負面評論的人，看看自己家裡有多少商品是中國製造的，我相信你們也在用智慧型手機或電腦，看看裡面有多少零件是中國製造的，哈哈。

那些說不坐任何中國飛機的, 去看看自己家裡的東西，幾乎所有都是中國製造的而且非常可靠。事實上，中國商品比英國商品強，比美國的垃圾產品強100倍，在過去12年空客銷量已超過波音，波音的墜機事故是空客的兩倍，中國加入競爭對所有人都有利。
