It's really about just how expensive and complicated it is to develop and produce aircraft. That type of industry always has few competitors because the market cannot support many players and each survive. Classic high development and fixed cost industry.
Bombardier had completed it's research and made an really good plane. Then Boeing just made sure they couldn't sell them using their influence in the US government. Karma happened when airbus took over Bombardier and kept the production in place.
Let’s be real here, Chinese airlines have no choice but to buy Comac planes despite them being worse. They probably do get a sweet discount though making the plane more economically viable, and because of the Chinese governments stakes in Comac. Literally most orders for the planes come from Chinese banks/leasing companies. Out of the known orders, 8 out of 23 customers are Airlines with 95 orders with 488 orders coming from Chinese lessors and banks basically
China has a realistic chance of giving some competition to Boeing and Airbus, given it own large domestic market. Also, it can easily put barriers to Airbus and Boeing in China, if EU and US decide to create hurdles for it's COMAC certification. China is a market both Airbus and Boeing cannot afford to lose, and China can actually call some shots here.
That would be shooting themselves in the foot because Comac relies upon many technologies from western companies to build their planes. Including the engines and most of the integrated circuits powering the fly by wire tech of the plane.
That would be a dream. The TriStar was such a good plane but they bit the dust with that project. I don't think they'll try again bit i sincerely hope they do but they know how to innovate!
They probably won’t thanks to how disastrous the TriStar ended up unfortunately. With military contracts not drying up any time soon, there is no incentive to pivot to try and breakup the duopoly anyways.
There are only 2 because there were only 2 big economic centers until the reemergence of China. Designing planes is hard but not impossible, fighting for market share on another company’s home turf is way harder. Brazil, Japan, Canada ,post-Soviet Russia all failed because they don’t have a big enough home market
Embraer jetliners are outfitted with American engines. Obviously the US would never grant an export licence for those if the planes were sold to Russia.
All those back orders but Russians couldn't sell any planes even before the war. As someone else mentioned the support infrastructure is a big reason for Airbus/Boeing dominance.
Given the reputation of Chinese made products I don't see COMAC ever being able to compete outside of Asia. I think UAC has a shot, once the fighting in Ukraine is over atleast. Simply because it's backed by some experienced manufacturers. Time will tell
@Dedar Ahmed financially yes, but Boeing and Airbus have a reputation that the flying public loves. UAC, although new, comes from a combination of older soviet manufacturers that some of the African flying public likely have nostalgic fondness for. I honestly don't think China has the chance to break out of southeast Asia for a long time
_"Given the reputation of Chinese made products...."_ Having a homegrown aircraft manufacturer is a matter of national pride, and that's something a national government is keen about. That's why in the Bombardier v Boeing matter of the CSeries sale to Delta, both Canadian and US governments were embroiled in a mini trade war with new taxes and levies for certain aeronautical products across board. Having established the shallow pride of having a domestic plane maker, it is of the Chinese government interests to make sure the Comac is a safety success. And if they make and sell like a thousand planes domestically that stick their landings, and those planes are priced reasonably well, it is not outside the realm of possibility that low-cost airlines _globally_ would take an interest. The US may not like or buy the plane, but the rest of the world doesn't care about that. And if EASA certifies the plane , then quite literally the sky is the limit for the newcomer.
@jatwangismyname900 that's a maybe in the far future, besides, people already view Chinese made products as inferior. (Due to the perception of communist made goods)
It is more than just manufacturing jets, the main thing is customer support to airlines and Airbus took years to catch up Boeing here! The Chinese will never get there., just as the russians never did. The duopoly will not be broken any time soon.
The COMEC is probably gonna see moderate succes all over south east Asia. Besides Chinese carriers buying this relatively cheap plane I can see Indonesia and the Philippines buys lots of them (especially when some Chinese banks sweeten the deal with favorable loans) I mean it can’t be worse then the Max8 right
Indonesia and especially the Philippines are under military and economic harassment from China right now over competing territorial claims. Going to Chinese aircraft for parts gives China another thing to use against those countries as leverage, and since both Garuda Indonesia and Philippine Airlines are government-owned, that is definitely something they are keeping in mind.
@@GintaPPE1000 there are more then 1 airlines in both Indonesia and the Philippines. I can see Lion Air order a bunch of COMEC planes simply because they’re cheaper then the B737
Actually, Boeing took Bombardier to court, which made Bombardier to sell a majority stake in the C-Series program to Airbus, so it is really Boeing's fault.
You can't be successful when you forced airlines to buy your aircraft. It would only work in China. In places like India, Brazil or Indonesia for example. It makes no sense to buy C919. It's too expensive to maintain due to lack of spare parts and lack of competition in maintenance base. Also they are not as efficient compared to A320neo, A220-300 or MAX8.

@@nntflow7058 Read his comment. He said "how Korean vehicles were dismissed forty years ago!". Korean & Japanese cars werent good, but became good and sought after over time. C919 has better success chance than Korean & Japanese cars simply due to China's market share & support. I am not saying it will dethrone the current duopoly, but it will definitely grab market share. All 3 have backlogs for few years.
Competitive prices? It's simply outrageous to expect customers to pay 300 million for a 777 or 340. If any other two companies offered such prices, customers would be livid about the excessive backlog of 4-7000 orders that would take over a decade to fulfill, assuming no additional orders were placed. If I were to place an order for an A340 or 777X, I wouldn't anticipate receiving it before 2030 at the earliest. Both Boeing and Airbus urgently need to construct additional facilities, and considering their financial resources, allocating 1 billion dollars shouldn't be a significant hurdle. My suggestion would be for Boeing to establish manufacturing sites in Texas, the Mid West, and the North East, while Airbus should consider building facilities in major countries like England, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Poland, and Italy. By doing so, Boeing could address their backlog of 4000 orders, and Airbus could catch up on its 7000 orders. If, for instance, there were 500 back orders and I placed my order for a 340/350 or 777/787, knowing that I might receive it in February of the following year when ordering in June, it wouldn't frustrate me as much. However, waiting for a decade to receive just 100 planes? It's utterly unacceptable. It would be more practical to purchase a 10 to 15-year-old wide-body Boeing or Airbus jet and update it to modern standards.
The 340 endeded production years ago. Airlines don't actually pay the list prices in a vast majority of cases. 40-60% discounts are the norm on orders of size.
You’re hilarious if you think $1 billion is even remotely enough to build more facilities. It would take tens of billions for that to occur and Airbus and Boeing would rather spend that money in R&D and designing future planes.
@@FlyByWire1 Future Planes that'll take a decade to deliver the first one. Yeah, they'd be better suited towards building aircraft that they know work than spending money on aircraft that may only give 15% Improvements. How about the catch up on those backorders before they fund R&D. They'd find themselves a whole bunch of cash if they delivered even 30% of their backorders.
@@swornthekillerintown because they have to balance their spending between building current orders and researching and developing for the future. Because if they fall behind in research because they’re so focused on increasing output, then they’d be at a disadvantage in 10 to 20 years when airlines are looking to replace the planes they spent all their money trying to build quickly. For someone who doesn’t even know the A340 isn’t in production, I think this topic is a bit too advanced for you.
@@FlyByWire1 The a340 isn't in production because Airbus failed on it. Secondly, I never said they were supposed to go all in on Production and just leave R&D hanging. But to spend billions on marginal improvements and then when you want to build a facility you push it on the tax papers rather than using a massive war chest worth of money they have.

@@moekitsune Maybe I'm wrong, but can you point out any specific time stamp in the video where it sounds human? Something that proves it's human? Like something only a human would do? I didn't hear any point in the video where that happens.
That's because Airbus steals aircraft design and claims it to be there own when it in fact is a Bombardier and is currently outperforming the A319neo. I will always loathe Airbus especially taking credit for an aircraft they did not create.
are you slow or what? Airbus themselves said the Bombardier C series (now known as A220) is made in Canada, so how are you saying they steal design? Also it's Boeing fault because they protested the C series being too competetive, with dumping also applied, making C series get 300% tarriffs, leaving Airbus buying major stake of the C Series, making it A220
Stupid logic. The main reason is safety. Boeing and Airbus have spend decades improving the safety of their aircraft. Why would someone wanna fly in a new airplane with no proven safety record?

You don't love your life
If it could be done musk would have tried. Space x has trampled Boeing
Because Boeing annihilates
The gravy train for Boeing and Airbus may be coming to end by the Chinese manufacturer.
Maybe for the Chinese market only
Not any time soon.
Definitely not and definitely never will.
Bruh, the Comac C919 has 1000 orders from Eastern Airlines that is only domestic do you still thing you have hegemony in this????? 😂 what a joker
I like the idea going into this channel but the Text-to-Speech/AI voiceover makes me feel uncomfortable. Please use a real voice next time. I'd rather hear your real voice even if you have a strong accent.
This video doesn't sound like it has AI voice
@@moekitsune Maybe I'm wrong, but can you point out any specific time stamp in the video where it sounds human? Something that proves it's human? Like something only a human would do? I didn't hear any point in the video where that happens.
US based airlines should be encouraged to purchase Boeing jets.
That's because Airbus steals aircraft design and claims it to be there own when it in fact is a Bombardier and is currently outperforming the A319neo. I will always loathe Airbus especially taking credit for an aircraft they did not create.
are you slow or what? Airbus themselves said the Bombardier C series (now known as A220) is made in Canada, so how are you saying they steal design?
Also it's Boeing fault because they protested the C series being too competetive, with dumping also applied, making C series get 300% tarriffs, leaving Airbus buying major stake of the C Series, making it A220
Stupid logic. The main reason is safety. Boeing and Airbus have spend decades improving the safety of their aircraft. Why would someone wanna fly in a new airplane with no proven safety record?
The 757 is the only Boeing jet I will ever fly on.
