Can we modify C919 to serve as platform for AWACS?View attachment 466634
in the near future, there will be total 6 c919 in testing fly
Yes I think China should embark on that journey. I think current C919(for civilian use) uses non-Chinese engines, which will not be allowed for use on a platform for military use.Can we modify C919 to serve as platform for AWACS?
Or ASW like P8I?
Now C919 uses Leap x engine, in the future it will use CJ1000A domestic engine.Yes I think China should embark on that journey. I think current C919(for civilian use) uses non-Chinese engines, which will not be allowed for use on a platform for military use.
So if China starts now figuring out the engine for C919(whether to use a currently existing Chinese engine or develop another one) and developing other ASW avionics...then by the time a P8 analogous platform(based on C919) is ready and mature not only China would induct it but there would be other countries that would want it.
