Hi could someone tell what had happened to failed Y-10 many many years ago?
First unofficial commercial flight from shanghai to Beijing in ARJ-21 with all the AVIC commercial VIP attending ceremony of receiving China FAA certificate.
Outdated technology. Modern passenger aircraft is all about low cost operating(less engine, less fuel, longer interval before overhaul) and environmental friendly(low noise and carbon emission).Hi could someone tell what had happened to failed Y-10 many many years ago?
why y-10 not being leverage to build arj-21 much sooner? thanks
i know that..i m asking why y-10 failed to develop at that time when otherwise china would have commercial aircrafts much earlier than today?Outdated technology. Modern passenger aircraft is all about low cost operating(less engine, less fuel, longer interval before overhaul) and environmental friendly(low noise and carbon emission).
Y-10 with 4 turbojet will be very fuel thirsty and the main body made with heavier all metal material will be high maintenance and non fuel efficient.
Plus ARJ-21 is designed to pass even US FAA which is very demanding test for a reliable and sturdy modern commercial jet.
Y-10 with old technology and old material will barely even pass 10% of the FAA criteria.

According to Aviation Week, the first two production jets will be delivered to Chengdu Airlines in April or May of 2015.
Politics and I guess, China technology still is quite backward that time. Y-10 may flies as a prototype but its far from a finished product. There are lots of technology hurdle it may not clear to get it operational.i know that..i m asking why y-10 failed to develop at that time when otherwise china would have commercial aircrafts much earlier than today?
Why? What is wrong with them?Hopefully, this won't be like the Brazilian piece of crap. A maintenance nightmare!
I suspect C919 would be in atleast 3 different configurations. Promising program.
- Air Refuellers
- MPA Maritime Patrol
- AWACS/ELINT/SIGNT something like US JSTARS combination
Why? What is wrong with them?
I am assuming you are referring to Embraer aircraft.
They have maintenance issues, at least the ERJ-175 versions.
Electronics are slow as hell, and the aircraft is quite flimsy. I'll leave at that.
Will C919 serve like the platform P8A for Chinese navy in the future?
It can, but you need to replace the CFM turbofan engine on C919 first, maybe to a Chinese own turbofan
I think CFM deal forbit China to turn the C919 into military use
