A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This channel is brilliant. Talked about this 7-8 months ago
I mean, it was going to happen at some point, just a matter of China scaling up.
It was a testing year for Airbus' defense and space division. While its order intake was a record 16.7 billion euros, it reported a loss of 566 million euros — largely due to a 1.3 billion euro charge on its space programs.
looks blank
I didn't even realize that Airbus did space.
I thought that the big domestic player in European space was Ariane.
goes hunting
Ahhh.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArianeGroup
Owners
- Airbus (50%)
- Safran (50%)
Ariane is half-owned by Airbus.
Very true.
Comac does import a lot of complex parts from the west, though (I'll look it up if this thread gets traction (sorry, I'm lazy today)).
Edit: approx. 40% is foreign built. Here's a list of the top 5 western suppliers.
Yes, a few years ago when I was manufacturing aircraft engines (the LEAP specifically) we had three variants of the same engine.
A, B and C for the Airbus A320 neo, Boeing 737 Max and Comac c919.
Arianespace is only building and operating launchers. Airbus is also the biggest satellite manufacturer in Europe. They're in crisis right now, same as their direct European competitor Thales Alenia Space, due to Starlink destroying the traditional space Telecom market, of which they were leaders.
disrupt duopoly
Lmao
And start a 'triopoly' they say... Whats next, a quadopoly, and on and on until its just some sort of competitive market?
We need 4-8 players at least for every market.
As much as I don’t like the CCP, more competition is a good thing.
More cooperation is better, but this will have to do in our ~~retarded~~ stupid society.
(it's okay to say stupid but not retarded, which is retarded.)
Good
Next week Airbus CEO telling that the sky is blue once you're above the cloud
I can't see western companies letting them get much traction, but frankly, some competition would be good.
Can they really stop them from gaining traction? The Chinese domestic market over which they have no control and some third party allies like Brazil seem large enough to support them scaling up.
They could go scorched earth with tariffs and export restrictions, but that would only hinder them in the medium term and make them double their efforts.
I was saying that US and European airlines are not likely to purchase them.
Hopefully the threat of pressure will be enough.
Part of it is also capacity. Every order to Boeing or Airbus takes years to fulfill because there is a giant backlog.
They hid one A320 for months to copy everything they could and now want to flood the world market. I hope the EU never gives them certification, nor the US.
Although they are shady, this industry needs a shakeup and to stop being so centralized.
🤡
Yes? Care to share?
🫵😂
What about the duopoly of red and blue?
Get back to me once it meets international safety standards.
Comac? or Boeing?
Why not both?
