2026年1月15日，欧洲航空安全局（EASA）正式确认，其试飞机组已在上海完成对中国商飞C919的系列评估飞 行。媒体纷纷将此解读为中欧航空合作的"破冰时刻"，但在熟悉适航认证规则的人看来，这绝非单纯的技术测 试，而是一场围绕"适航话语权"的深度审计——EASA在用一套西方成熟的监管逻辑，逐一核查中国航空工业的底 层设计与合规细节。 EASA试飞员坐进C919驾驶舱，测的不只是气动响应、动力稳定性这些基础性能，更在细致审视人机交互界面 （HMI）的操作逻辑、告警系统的优先级排序，以及极端工况下的系统冗余设计，核心是看这些细节是否贴合欧 洲飞行员长期养成的操作习惯与肌肉记忆。据内部消息，EASA对C919的基础安全性予以认可，但指出了若干需 要优化的"初期适配问题"。这类问题往往不影响飞机正常飞行，却直接关系到能否通过欧洲的适航标准，每一处 修正都要牵动软件迭代与海量回归测试，耗时耗力。 为何认证要等3-6年？时间本就是"非关税壁垒" EASA执行董事弗洛里安・吉耶梅抛出"3到6年"的漫长认证周期，绝非单纯的技术评估需要，本质是把"监管时 滞"变成了一道隐形的市场壁垒。 一方面是技术背后的"设计逻辑冲突"。C ...

报道称，中国商飞已经在上周与中国东方航空签了一份深化合作的协议。协议里一个重头戏，就是共同 开发一款可以搭载至少200名乘客的C919加长版，型号很可能被命名为 C919-800。 那么为什么要"加长"呢？简单来说，就是为了跟上市场，和"高手"过招。 最近，中国航空业又传出一个令人振奋的消息：中国自主研发的C919大飞机，要出"加长版"了。 此外，C919加长不仅仅是为了多装人，更是为了飞得更远。专家分析，加长版的C919-800目标可能是 搭载200多名乘客，飞行4500公里或更远。这意味着新飞机可以执飞中国沿海城市与亚洲大部分地区 （尤其是东南亚）主要枢纽和旅游热点之间的国际航线。未来，它也可能服务于连接东部沿海与新疆等 西部地区的国内长航线。 当然，从图纸上的设计到真正载客飞行还有很长的路要走。专家预计，完成设计并通过中国民航局严格 的安全认证，可能需要数年时间。挑战包括如何确保加长后机身的完整性，以及在高密度客舱中证明紧 急疏散能力。 但市场的期待已经起来了。香港的国泰航空此前就公开表示，对加长版的C919"很感兴趣"，因为其航 线正需要更大的窄体客机。 想象一下，当未来某天，你乘坐一架国产的C919 ...

Core Viewpoint - The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has delayed the certification process for the C919 aircraft, which is perceived as a barrier to entry for the Chinese aircraft in the European market, rather than a technical issue [1][16][18]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The C919's entry into the European market is hindered by a lengthy evaluation period, while Airbus has a backlog of orders extending to 2030, indicating a defensive strategy to protect market share [1][2]. - Despite the challenges in Europe, the C919 has gained traction in Asia, with airlines in Southeast Asia and the Middle East showing significant interest due to operational reliability and cost-effectiveness [12][20][32]. - The C919 has already secured over a thousand orders from major Chinese airlines, indicating strong domestic demand and operational integration [6][7]. Group 2: Performance and Feedback - The C919 has demonstrated strong operational performance, with Eastern Airlines reporting a 90% seat occupancy rate on its inaugural flight [3]. - Passenger feedback highlights the aircraft's quiet cabin and comfort, with crew members noting its stability compared to Boeing models [4][5]. - The aircraft's operational data and customer satisfaction are becoming key indicators of its market acceptance, overshadowing the importance of formal certification [18][54]. Group 3: Technological Development - The C919's engine, primarily the CFM LEAP-1C, is recognized for its efficiency, while China is also advancing its own engine technology with the Longjiang-1000A [14][15]. - The aircraft's design incorporates components from leading international suppliers, ensuring it meets global operational standards while also developing domestic capabilities [14][15][30]. - The C919's development reflects a strategic approach of balancing international standards with domestic production capabilities, enhancing China's position in the global aviation industry [16][30]. Group 4: Future Outlook - The C919 is expected to continue its growth trajectory in the Asian market, with plans to expand its operational footprint in regions like Africa and Latin America [32][61]. - The aircraft's success in Asia may prompt a reevaluation of its acceptance in Europe, as operational data and customer feedback become more compelling than regulatory barriers [18][32]. - The ongoing development of the C919 is seen as a long-term industrial journey, with the potential to reshape perceptions of Chinese manufacturing in the aviation sector [32][34].
