What domestic tires can the domestic large aircraft C919 carry?
On August 1, COMAC officially announced that the domestically produced large aircraft C919 has completed the certification test flight.
It is reported that this large passenger plane, which is completely independently developed by China, uses Michelin tires.
Many practitioners hope that their own aircraft can be equipped with domestic tires.
According to the tire world network, there are three tire manufacturing companies that are expected to take the lead in realizing this goal.
Senturin tires
In 2009, Sentury Tire invested 500 million yuan to develop aviation tires.
In 2020, the tires developed by this company for COMAC were successfully put into use.
At present, the company has built an aviation tire industrialization base and an aviation tire laboratory.
It is understood that Senturylin tires have entered the list of cultivation suppliers for C919.
Triangle tires
In 2021, Triangle Tire will speed up its aviation tire project and establish an aviation tire business unit.
The project was included in the "Shandong Province New and Old Kinetic Energy Conversion Major Project Public Relations Project".
At the same time, they also built an aviation tire dynamic laboratory and an aviation radial tire production line.
The front tires of the A320 and C919 models developed by this company have now passed the dynamic test.
Dawning Academy
According to the data, Shuguang Rubber Research and Design Institute is the Chinese partner of the C919 tire supplier.
The company has been engaged in the research and development and production of aviation tires for more than 40 years.
In July of this year, the Shuguang Institute, with an annual output of 100,000 aviation tires, started construction in Guilin, Guangxi.
Tire World Network has learned that the project has a total investment of 648 million yuan and is scheduled to be completed and put into production in 2023.
In addition to the above three companies, the state has also invested 1.7 billion yuan to establish a large aviation tire science center in Guangzhou.
Relevant experts said that it is expected that within 2 years, the C919 will be equipped with tires made by the Chinese.
