What's wrong with that?
How are you so sure they aren't going to succeed this time?
At least they don't make stupid spelling mistakesChe chances of local ...Comment

I didn't say they wouldn't succeed, but honestly who is going to buy a Chinese plane. Certainly not any US airline, they are going to lose money on this because almost everything in China is state owned, they would build them and give them to their own airlines, so where is the money going to be made.Comment

Won't say China will succeed or not. A decade ago, people are more likely to refuse buying Chinese made goods, but nowdays you cannot escape from Chinese made products.
China is definitely at her young days in terms of technology, but it is better late than never!Looks like another brilliant move by the Chinese government
Really? What made you so sure of it? Only time will tell. I can see US airlines buying Airbuses.but honestly who is going to buy a Chinese plane. Certainly not any US airlineComment

But airplanes are not cheap little plastic army men that you can replace by going down to Wal-Mart, not to mention you can't replace 150+ livesComment

Errm... are you all missing something here or is it I that is missing something?Comment

Who said aircrafts can only be manufactured by Industrialised nations? Embraer is made in Brazil and the Russian made planes too.
I didn't see all Chinese made MD-82s and 90s in the 1990s falling off the sky. Why do you think the Chinese wanted to locally manufacturer the Russian planes in the early days and locally assemble the MD-82 and 90s and the Embraers where they could have just purchase it straight from the West?
They absorbed technologies from the West by locally assembling foreign planes. You'd be surprised how government in some developing countries think. They are not stupid as what you'd like to think them to be.
Then perhaps you should stop flying Boeings. I read somewhere that some parts were made in China (or Wal-Mart as you'd like to call it)But airplanes are not cheap little plastic army men that you can replace by going down to Wal-Mart, not to mention you can't replace 150+ lives

My gosh..............I can't believe the arrogance..........what is this world coming to.......Originally posted by chrisburns
Chris, do you realize that Boeing and Airbus aircraft contain MANY Chinese made components?
Aviation Industries of China (AVIC) is a MAJOR supplier of aircraft components for aircraft manufacturers around the world INCLUDING Boeing and Airbus!
That's right.....be afraid.....you are flying on planes with "cheap little plastic."

And Russia is going build the russian regional jet .
I for one wont fly on anything built in China or in Russia.
However it would be cool if the Japanese were to build an airplane. Japan is very technically advanced and their products last a long time and are made with quality. For example many video games systems start out in Japan and then are releasd elsewere and Japan has highspeed bullet trains and they were able to build Kansai airport. So if a Japanese company were to build an aircraft that would be very successful

Airliners 2000, yes you are right.........My gosh..............I can't believe the arrogance..........what is this world coming to.......
I can definitely sense the smell of arrogance and ignorance in the air.
Boeings are time-bombs as they contained Chinese made components.....

I think you fail to realize that I also mentioned Kansai. Also cars (the ones actually made in Japan) are very reliable too.
I don't have anything against China. I just think the situation there is not suited to building something as advanced as a complete aircraft as much as Japan is. I'm not being arrogant like chris saying only boeing and/or airbus is good. I'm just saying I have more confidence in the Japanese. I mean how much faith would you put in a government that kept SARS a secret untill it became a big problem and there was no way to keep it in
. If it was reported promptly many lives could have been saved. Do you really think it would be any different if some big problem was discovered with a chinese government sponsored aircraft .
