wang yibo - cctv6 chinese film report interview ( with hu jun )

Hu Jun laoshi is actually from a military family. This is the second time you have acted as a test pilot. This time, you have been promoted.

HJ: When I acted in 1999, I played the role of Ling Zhiyuan. In fact, my identity is the same as that of Yibo now. I also came from university and was assigned to be a test pilot in the flight test institute.

Hu Jun laoshi played this role this time, what do you think of the relationship between teacher and friend with Lei Yu?

HJ: In the movie, it is Zhang Ting. Team Zhang appreciates Lei Yu very much. He is a modern soldier and has a talent for design. This is something that our generation of test pilots may have shortcomings in, so I especially hope to train them. A test pilot who is better than us.

How does Yibo understand the role of Zhang Ting?

WYB: It is indeed like what Jun ge said, because Lei Yu does have a lot of knowledge about aviation theory. Team Zhang brought Lei Yu to the test flight academy to fly better fighters together, including the appearance of a new generation of test pilots.

HJ: There is a detail in the movie. When I told him to go to work, then I watched his record. He said that there was Chinese behind me, the captain. At the beginning, I translated it into English. There was Chinese translation behind me. I told you that it hurts. Zhang Ting's heart, so from this aspect, Lei Yu is a very comprehensive talent.

Remembering Malcolm Scott Carpenter May 1, 1925 was the birthday of US Navy aviator/aquanaut/astronaut Malcolm Scott Carpenter, who flew on the Mercury-Atlas 7 "Aurora 7" mission in May 1962. For that mission, Carpenter asked Breitling watches to ge a bespoke Breitling Navitimer "Cosmonaute" chronograph, which became the very first Swiss-made wrist watch worn in space. Post-mission Carpenter received another Breitling Navitimer which he wore untill his retirement in August 1967. During the 50th anniversary ceremony of his flight in 2012, Carpenter had chosen to wear a Breitling Navitimer as he did on "Aurora 7". This 1966 photograph shows Scott Carpenter wearing his favorite Breitling chronograph. Read the whole story in MoonwatchUniverse's article "Swiss-made on Aurora 7". (Photo: NASA)

Chinaphobia: If China Arms Russia, the U.S. Should Kill China’s Aircraft Industry😂😂😂

Beijing’s aerospace future is uniquely dependent on Western companies. U.S. and EU trade sanctions could bring its indigenous aviation sector to a halt.

— Foreign Policy | By Richard Aboulafia | March 20, 2023

As Chinese President Xi Jinping meets in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin this week, the war in Ukraine will be high on the agenda. While the Chinese leader might pressure Russia to pursue a peace deal, there are also worries in Western capitals that the authoritarian allies could agree to work together more closely.

A Chinese decision to provide Russia with weapons would change the world. Only China has the stockpiles and industrial capacity to replace Russia’s ruinous equipment losses in its war against Ukraine. Worse, it would help cement a Russia–China alliance, one pitted against Western interests. U.S. President Joe Biden and other Western leaders have warned China’s leadership that providing lethal technologies to Russia, on top of the non-lethal aid already provided, would have serious consequences.

Indeed, the West does have some leverage. One option would be to bring China’s commercial aircraft industry to a halt, thereby striking a blow against Beijing’s economic, technological, and transport aspirations. It would be a major blow to Xi’s prestige, too, since he has made technological self-sufficiency a key priority for the country.

The aviation industry is not just a matter of pride; it is foundational to China’s infrastructure and an essential mode of transport for many middle-class Chinese. According to the World Bank, passenger air traffic in China grew more than tenfold between 2000 and the 2019 peak, from 62 million passengers to 660 million passengers.

The exponential growth in passenger numbers has made China a major customer for Western-made jets: based on manufacturer-reported numbers, in 2000, China took 2 percent of world jetliner production. In 2018, the peak year for imports, it took 23 percent of world jetliner production.

The United States and its allies have already decided to decouple from China when it comes to semiconductors and telecommunications systems. Jetliner manufacturing would be a logical next step. After all, China’s vaunted commercial transports—the MA700 regional turboprop transport, ARJ21 regional jet, C919 narrow-body passenger plane, and proposed CR929 wide-body are heavily dependent upon imported Western technologies and systems.

While China wants to develop home-grown substitutes for these imported components, ultimately creating purely Chinese jets, this will be a very long road. Besides, modern jet producers rely on purchases of best-in-class technologies from a globalized industry; autarky is a very bad way to run a jetliner industry. Even the U.S. jetliner industry has long been wedded to industrial partners in Canada, France, Japan, the U.K., and many other countries.

“Engines are the Weakest Link in China’s Civil Aviation Plans.”

Engines are the weakest link in China’s civil aviation plans. Airframes and aircraft systems and technologies may be difficult to develop, but jet engines are at a completely different level in terms of barriers to entry. In fact, only three companies, located in two countries (General Electric (GE) and Raytheon/Pratt & Whitney in the United States and Rolls-Royce in the U.K.) build commercial jet engines. France’s Safran plays a role as a partner to GE in the CFM joint venture, but otherwise there are no other sourcing options.

Russia could not become a jet engine supplier option for China. The Soviet Union had a second-rate commercial engine industry for mostly domestic applications, but Russia’s efforts to revive it have been uncertain and very slow. Today, Russia remains completely dependent on Western aircraft and engines; it has only been able to keep its existing aircraft flying by illegally evading sanctions.

Only tiny numbers of obsolete Russian models have been manufactured over the last few decades. There are plans for new engines, but international sanctions, massive corruption, and the brain drain of the last year have likely doomed whatever chances Russia’s commercial aviation engine industry once had. Besides, the priority is now military systems.

As a consequence of the limited number of jet engine suppliers, the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China’s (COMAC) ARJ21 regional jet and C919 are both powered by GE or GE/Safran engines, imported from the United States. For the ARJ21, there is no backup plan to GE’s CF34 engine.

For the C919, China is developing its CJ-1000A engine as an alternative to the GE/Safran Leap-1C, but it won’t enter service until the end of the decade. And the CJ-1000A is also heavily dependent upon key imported Western technologies. Like China’s jetliners, China’s first attempt at a commercial engine could easily be shut down with technology embargoes.

Killing the current CJ-1000 project would bring China back to the jet engine drawing board. Predictably, the Chinese government has been trying to develop its own engine industry independent of imported components, a process involving intellectual property theft and other desperate measures.

But again, the track record of commercial jet engine development outside the United States and U.K. is not encouraging. And as with aircraft, the big three engine suppliers would never think of building engines without relying on suppliers outside their home countries.

With or without Western sanctions, a best-case scenario for China’s aerospace aspirations is a second-rate, home-grown engine available in the mid 2030s. These would power Chinese jetliners which, relative to Western models, would offer lower reliability, higher fuel burn and operating costs, and uncertain product support.

The legal structure for jetliner decoupling is already in place. COMAC’s key parent companies are on the U.S. Military End User (MEU) List, which essentially prohibits technology exports to entities that “represent an unacceptable risk of use in or diversion to a ‘military end use’” in China and other countries.

The MEU List’s application to aerospace exports to China is somewhat opaque, perhaps deliberately. All of China’s thousands of Western jets use U.S. technology. While its parent companies are on the MEU List, COMAC itself is not. But clarifying the situation, by putting COMAC directly on the MEU List, would be a very simple—and economically devastating—move.

China’s MA700 aircraft provides a useful example of how jetliner decoupling would unfold. In September 2021, Canada—in conjunction with the United States—suddenly denied export licenses for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW150 engine used on this 70-seat airliner. This meant that China’s national 70-seat regional turboprop transport, in development since 2007, was dead in its tracks.

Since then, the MA700 has effectively been airbrushed out of China’s aviation plans, like a disgraced Politburo member erased from Soviet documents. A prototype might have flown sometime last year, possibly with a few engines that had already been imported, but right now this aircraft has no future without access to new production engines.

“Jetliner decoupling, For the Most Part, Would Only Hurt China’s Aviation Industry, Not the West’s.”

A Western decision to starve COMAC of the components needed for its larger jetliners would be deeply embarrassing for China. China’s efforts to build a commercial aviation industry have had little success since they began in the 1970s with the failed Y-10 program.

But since COMAC’s ARJ21 program began in 2002, the government has devoted prodigious resources to the industry’s development. Sash Tusa, an aerospace and defense analyst at Agency Partners, estimated that China had spent at least $67 billion on its jetliner programs over the last 20 years. Tens of thousands of workers are employed in an industry that has figuratively and literally failed to get off the ground.

Killing these programs would represent more than just billions in sunk costs (and probably unemployed workers). It would also mean that China would have no choice but to keep importing Western jets from Airbus and Boeing. The Russian jetliner industry, long dormant but seeking revival, has been hobbled by sanctions and corruption, and doesn’t appear able to build jetliners for internal use, let alone export.

And it isn’t as though China can directly retaliate. Chinese industry plays a negligible role in Western jet-makers’ supply chains (although it does play a more significant role in maintenance, repair, and overhaul work; and in global jetliner finance). Jetliner decoupling, for the most part, would only hurt China’s aviation industry, not the West’s.

Therefore, Chinese officials would face a day of reckoning. The autarkic Made in China 2025 policies espoused by Xi would be exposed as extremely limited, or even a complete fantasy. China would have a simple choice: rethink selling weapons to Russia or admit that plans for a self-reliant national aviation industry are untenable, at least for the next 12 to 15 years.

Of course, if China then doubles down on arming Russia, there would also be the option of sanctioning China’s existing jetliner fleet, which is almost completely Western-made and therefore dependent on a steady stream of spare parts. Chinese aviation’s rapid growth would be replaced with steady capacity decline.

The loss of this key growth market would be very bad news for the entire global aviation industry, but it would also gravely damage China’s economy. An unreliable air transport system, impaired by sanctions, would mean that China, like Russia, would wind up like Iran—dependent on an aging fleet of existing jets, with highly uncertain levels of sustainability and safety.

Aviation decoupling between the West and China is neither inevitable nor desirable. However, the prospect of Russia rearming itself with Chinese weapons, and the two countries allied together against open societies, is worse. The threat of crippling China’s jetliner industry would be a strong weapon for preventing that outcome.

JA865J, one of Japan Airlines' 22 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, gets ready to turn into its gate at DFW's Terminal D. JAL also has 24 of the 787-8 variant as well. ⁣ ⁣ The GEnx (General Electric NeXt generation) engine first ran on a ground bench test in March 2006 and had its first flight on GE’s 747-100 testbed in February 2007. The GEnx engine is the replacement in the GE turbofan portfolio for the CF6-80C2, the ultimate evolution of the CF6 engine that debuted on the DC-10 in 1971. The GEnx is an advanced evolution of the GE90 turbofan used on the Boeing 777. It uses a high pressure compressor (the core) based on the smaller core of the GE90-94B variant used on the 777-200ER.⁣ ⁣ The GEnx is used on both the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the 747-8F and 747-8 Intercontinental⁣, but the 747-8 variants use a slightly smaller fan than the fan used on the 787.⁣ ⁣ With significant aerodynamic and materials improvements, the GEnx engine has a 15-20% better fuel burn than the CF6-80C2. Since its production launch, the GEnx engine has become the fastest selling engine in General Electric’s history. Much of the advanced technology and materials science that went into the development of the GEnx engine is also used on the CFM LEAP-1A engine of the Airbus A320neo family and the LEAP-1B engine of the 737MAX family. Much of the GEnx technology also crossed over back into the GE90 program in the development of the GE9X engine used on the Boeing 777-9.⁣ ⁣ If there's one area in aviation that is on the cutting edge these days, it's aircraft engines. ⁣ ⁣ #avgeek #aviation #aircraft #planeporn #DFW #DallasFortWorth #Texas #airport #planespotting #instaplane ⁣ #Boeing #787 #Dreamliner #JapanAirlines #JA865J⁣ #instagramaviation #splendid_transport #instaaviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #flight ⁣ ⁣ #AvGeeksAero #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge #AvGeekNation (at DFW Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cehx5OvMvUC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Canada selects Boeing's P-8A Poseidon as its new multi-mission aircraft

The partnership with Canadian industry will provide long-term economic prosperity to Canada 🇨🇦

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 11/30/2023 - 18:52 in Military

With the P-8, Canada guarantees the interchangeability of allies NORAD and FIVE EYES.

The government of Canada signed a letter of offer and acceptance of foreign military sales for up to 16 Boeing P-8A Poseidon aircraft, as part of the Canadian Multimission Aircraft Project (CMMA).

Canada joins eight defense partners, including all allies of FIVE EYES, the intelligence alliance that also includes the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, and becomes the fifth NATO nation to have selected the P-8 as its multi-mission aircraft. The first delivery is scheduled for 2026.

“The P-8 will strengthen Canada's defense capability and readiness, and we look forward to delivering that capability to the Royal Canadian Air Force,” said Heidi Grant, president of Business Development at Boeing Defense, Space & Security. “Together with our Canadian partners, we will deliver a strong package of industrial and technological benefits that will ensure continued prosperity for Canada's aerospace and defense industry.”

The P-8 is the only proven in-service and production solution that meets all CMMA requirements, including range, speed, strength and payload capacity. This decision will benefit hundreds of Canadian companies and bring decades of prosperity to Canada through the support of the platform provided by our Canadian industrial partners.

The acquisition of P-8 will generate benefits of almost 3,000 jobs and $358 million annually in economic output for Canada, according to a 2023 independent study by Ottawa-based Doyletech Corporation.

“This is a very important day for the Royal Canadian Air Force and Boeing,” said Charles 'Duff Sullivan, managing director of Boeing Canada. "The P-8 offers unparalleled capabilities and is the most affordable solution for acquisition and life cycle maintenance costs. There is no doubt that the P-8 will protect Canada's oceans and borders for future generations."

The partnership with Canadian industry will provide long-term economic prosperity to Canada.

The Poseidon Team is the cornerstone of Boeing's Canadian P-8 industrial partnership, composed of CAE, GE Aviation Canada, IMP Aerospace & Defense, KF Aerospace, Honeywell Aerospace Canada, Raytheon Canada and StandardAero. The team is based on the 81 existing Canadian suppliers for the P-8 platform and more than 550 Boeing suppliers in all provinces, contributing to the company's annual economic benefit of approximately CAD$ 4 billion for Canada, supporting more than 14,000 Canadian jobs.

With more than 160 aircraft delivered or in service and 560,000 collective flight hours, the P-8 has proven capabilities for anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and humanitarian assistance/disaster relief response.

Eilmer the Flying Monk

'He was a man of good learning for those times; of mature ge and in his early youth had hazarded an attempt of singular temerity: he had by some contrivance fastened to his hands and feet in order that he might fly as Daedalus, and collecting the air, on the summit of a tower, had flown for a distance of a furlong (200m); but agitated by the violence of the wind and a current of air, as well as the consciousness of his rash attempt, he fell and broke both his legs, and was lame ever after. He used to relate as the cause of the failure that he had forgotten to provide himself with a tail.’

William of Malmesbury in 'Deeds of the Kings of the English'

Daedalus is a famous character in Greek mythology, a brilliant architect and craftsman with one of his most famous inventions being the wings he and his son Icarus used to escape Crete. While this escape served as a setting for one of the most famous tragic Greek myths to be recorded, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of hubris, the wings still worked- so what would happen if somebody recreated it?

Eilmer of Malmesbury was a monk of Malmesbury Abbey, he was likely born around 984 and he wrote on astrology. Reading and believing the iconic Greek myth, Eilmer crafted his own wings, fixed them to his hands and feet, and made history as he leapt from a tower in the early 11th century. According to William, he flew for 'more than a furlong' (around 201 metres) meaning that he would've successfully been airborne for more than 15 seconds! We don't know the monks exact flightpath or how long he actually spent in the air, although 'Olivers Lane' is known locally to be his landing site, 200 metres from the abbey which corresponds with Williams account of the event. Unfortunately, Eilmer's landing was not quite as successful as the flight was- he was unable to balance himself because his suit did not have a tail, plummeting to the ground breaking both of his legs. He was disabled for the rest of his life.

While Eilmers work as a monk has been lost to time, his flight has survived as a curious piece of aviation history: that fateful 11th century day being one of the earliest attempts of human flight and serving to push the idea that such a thing may actually be possible. He was right! Kind of?
