　　本報珠海11月4日專電 (特派記者張曉鳴)國產支線飛機ARJ21將改變航空格局。今天，中國商飛公司在珠海與美國通用電氣金融航空服務公司簽署25架ARJ21－700支線客機購機協議。這是擁有中國自主知識產權的ARJ21－700飛機首次進入西方市場。

　　中國商飛公司董事長張慶偉在簽約現場表示，25架國產支線客機將出口美國，這是中國迄今為止最大的飛機外銷協議，標誌着ARJ21－700飛機得到了世界高端客戶的認可，是中國民用飛機走向世界的重大突破。

　　通用電氣航空集團民用飛機項目副總裁羅傑告訴記者，在經過數月技術、商務談判和調研評估後，他們最終認為ARJ21－700飛機是中國研製的面向全球市場的新型飛機，完全滿足需求。不過目前這25架飛機的具體航線還沒有敲定。

真相


中國支線客機首獲海外訂單

The Chinese national aircraft manufacturer, Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, will announce today that it has secured the first overseas order for its regional jet, worth about $750m, from General Electric's leasing unit.
中國國有飛機製造商——中國商用飛機有限責任公司(CACC)今日將宣布，其支線飛機已獲得首筆海外訂單，價值約7.5億美元，訂單來自通用電氣(General Electric)旗下租賃公司。

The announcement, which is set to be made on the opening day of the Zhuhai air show, confirms China's commitment to the ARJ21 70-seater aircraft and its determination to challenge more established participants in the regional aircraft market, such as Bombardier of Canada and Embraer of Brazil.
上述消息將在珠海航空展開幕式當天宣布，這將證實中國對開發ARJ21型70座飛機的承諾及其挑戰支線飛機市場上加拿大龐巴迪(Bombardier)和巴西航空工業公司(Embraer)等老牌公司的決心。

GE's leasing unit, GECAS, is set to buy 25 ARJ21 aircraft, at an estimated cost of $30m each.
通用電氣商業航空服務公司(GECAS)將購買25架ARJ21飛機，每架價格估計為3000萬美元。

However, GE is already a supplier of engines for the ARJ21, and the US company said that the new aircraft would be earmarked for leasing to Chinese air- lines rather than foreign carriers.
不過，通用本來就是ARJ21的發動機供應商。而且該美國公司表示，新飛機將租給中國航空公司，而非外國航空公司。

When GE was selected by the Chinese as the engine provider for the aircraft in 2002, the companies estimated that about 500 ARJ21s would be sold over 20 years, with a potential value of $3bn to GE.
2002年通用被中方選為該型飛機的發動機供應商時，雙方估計，20年內將可賣出約500架ARJ21，對通用的潛在價值為30億美元。

Since then, however, analysts have noted that the ARJ21 project has been running behind schedule.
但分析師指出，此後，ARJ21項目的進展落後於計劃。
