Xinhua Shanghai December 28 (reporter Jia Yuankun) Co., Ltd. China Commercial Aircraft assembly manufacturing center in Shanghai Pudong foundation base 28. Thus, the large aircraft project design and development, manufacturing and assembly planning for three central customer service has been completed.

covering about 4,000 acres, with a total construction area of ??about 115 square meters, including logistics, parts production area, the Department of loading area, assembly area, paint the whole area, test delivery area, office and integrated technology areas such as the eight regions, the largest assembly of civil aircraft manufacturing base, 28 in Shanghai Pudong formal foundation, the base of a construction project is expected to be completed in succession in 2012 and put into use. By then, full-featured, leading, to meet the trunk aircraft and regional aircraft manufacturing requirements of modern manufacturing base assembly will be presented before the world.

the base will meet the ARJ21 regional series aircraft, large aircraft and 150-level dual-channel large aircraft assembly and flight test, delivery tasks, becoming China’s homegrown civilian airliner “cradle.”

China Commercial Aircraft Co., Ltd. General Manager Jin Zhuanglong introduced plans to 2013, Pudong will form the base C919 large aircraft development support capabilities. By 2016, the formation of large passenger aircraft C919 and produce 20 series aircraft ARJ21 annual production capacity of 50 batches. Meanwhile, Pudong base for the development of type ARJ21 models and 250-level dual-channel space reserved for the development of large aircraft.

In addition, the base will have the appropriate civil aircraft of new technologies, new technology research and new product development capabilities and aircraft maintenance functions, to form the main aircraft assembly manufacturing, the key components manufacturing and aircraft modification maintenance, supplemented by business pattern.

reporter learned that the reason why base assembly site in Pudong, is expected because of large aircraft will enable the Shanghai Pudong Airport’s fifth runway is planned to conduct test flights. At the same time, a convenient location for parts transport, supply with ease.

China Commercial Aircraft Co., Ltd. was founded, formulated the “China Commercial Aircraft Company Shanghai plans to build the program,” plans to concentrate on building the headquarters base in Shanghai, as well as design and development, manufacturing and customer service three assembly centers.

base and the foundation of Pudong in Shanghai, China Commercial Aircraft to another base – together constitute a large market base in China Commercial Aircraft assembly manufacturing center. Pudong-based foundation marks the manufacturing center of the layout of the assembly has been completed.

November 30, the Shanghai Aircraft Design and Research Institute was established to promote the C919 large aircraft preliminary assessment of the overall technical solution, selection of materials and structures testing, prototype development, supercritical wing aerodynamic design and other key technology research.

Previously, as do civil aircraft market research and forecasting, sales support, competitive analysis, customer selection and management work, China Commercial Aircraft Co. Ltd. set up a market research center, will be mainly responsible for the including a new regional aircraft ARJ21 and C919 aircraft, including large civil aircraft development projects in China to provide sufficient market demand and customer needs basis.

China Commercial Aircraft Co. Ltd. Vice President, General Manager of Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Dongfeng He told reporters that at present, the new park design and development center has been under construction, customer service center is about to start second phase of construction, assembly manufacturing base foundation with Pudong, China large passenger aircraft to fly the conditions developed capacity building has been gradually completed.

China Commercial Aircraft Co., Ltd. Deputy General Manager Shi Jian Zhong introduced, according to the development plan, made large aircraft development and industrialization will go through three phases: from 2009 to 2014, complete assembly base, and to achieve aircraft development support capabilities; 2015 to 2020, will achieve 150-level single-volume production of large passenger aircraft; from 2021 to 2025, will achieve 250-level dual-channel mass production of large passenger aircraft.
