Giant AN-225 plane deal: What China & Ukraine get out of it?

China needs technology and outside help to develop large planes, while Ukraine can demonstrate to the world it has high technology to export and can reduce its economic dependence on the West, says Hong Kong-based political analyst Professor Joseph Cheng.

Ukraine and China have signed a deal to restart production of the world’s largest aircraft, the Antonov AN-225 Mriya, first developed in the Soviet Union.

The agreement reached between Ukraine’s Antonov and China’s Aerospace Industry Corporation will also let China make its own versions of the mammoth machine.

RT: It's certainly a unique plane. How exactly is China planning to use it?

Joseph Cheng: According to the agreement, China will produce the plane largely to satisfy the domestic market initially with the possibility of exporting the plane probably to third world countries at competitive prices.

RT: It is a lucrative deal for China, but what does Ukraine get out of it?

JC: Ukraine probably will be proud to demonstrate to the world that it has high technology to export. Exports of this kind will hopefully reduce its economic dependence on the EU and on western countries. I do believe that financially the agreement will satisfy the Ukrainian authorities.

RT: It is a little bit of history to give up as well. Why do you think Ukraine agreed to essentially hand the rights to this plane over to China?

JC: There are limited buyers who are interested in this kind of technology. Obviously, the western counties are not likely to acquire this technology from Ukraine. And there are not too many countries in the world with domestic market demand and the financial power to acquire this technology and engage in large scale production of the plane. I don’t know the details of the financial agreement, but I don’t think that terms are harsh for Ukraine…

RT: China is no stranger to making copies of some of the world's finest technology. Is this a viable alternative to developing its own original designs?

JC: Yes. Modern engines are a weak link for China. China needs the technology, needs some outside help to develop its large planes. Once we acquire the technology, the experience of manufacturing those planes, especially the production of engines, China will be able to develop other prototypes of large transport planes. Militarily China certainly understands that this kind of equipment will enable it to substantially improve its power projection capabilities and even help China to develop paratroops.

LikeChina to develop its own aircraft engine with new company

China has established the Aero Engine Corp of China in Beijing on Sunday, a “strategic” move that aims to boost its fast-growing aviation industry and the modernization of the Chinese military.

The AECC was set up with investment from the State Council, the Beijing municipal government, Commercial Aircraft Corp of China and Aviation Industry Corp of China (AVIC), with a registered capital of 50 billion yuan (US$7.5 billion).

It also has 96,000 employees, including six academics from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering, according to the company.

Chinese President Xi Jinping hailed the establishment in a written note, calling for acceleration of the research, development and manufacturing of aircraft engines and gas turbines to help China to build a strong aviation industry.

Premier Li Keqiang also said in his written instruction that engineers at the company should learn from other nations' experience and focus on key technologies for aircraft engines.

China’s efforts to home-grown aviation businesses

Despite China having made tremendous achievements in science, technology and manufacturing industries, aircraft engines remain one of the few fields in which the country still lags largely behind top players, especially the United States.

Because advanced aircraft engines such as the afterburning turbofan, which propels the world's best combat planes including the US' Lockheed Martin F-22 and Russia's Sukhoi Su-35, are so sophisticated, only the five members of the United Nations Security Council are able to develop and produce them.

According to military sources, most of the People's Liberation Army Air Force's best aircraft, such as the J-10 fighter jet and Y-20 transport plane, rely heavily on engines imported from Russia, while the new-generation J-20 stealth fighter jet also used Russian-made engines for its test flight.

In the Made in China 2025 blueprint published by the central government last year, aircraft engines were listed as one of the 10 crucial manufacturing sectors that are of great importance to the nation and would be strongly supported by the government.

Thanks to efforts made by Chinese researchers in the past 10 years, a number of domestically developed engines such as the WS-10 "Taihang" turbofan have been introduced and installed on some J-10 and J-11 fighter jets, observers said.
They added that a certain period of time will be needed to see whether they are reliable and powerful enough to replace the imported ones.
Yin Zeyong, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and head of AECC's science and technology commission, said the company's founding indicates that China is determined to mobilize all resources needed to research and develop key aircraft engine technologies.

Wang Ya'nan, editor-in-chief of Aerospace Knowledge magazine, said, "The establishment of an aircraft engine firm will strengthen China's capability in the aviation field and improve efficiency in research and development."

More participation from the private sector should be encouraged in the aircraft engine industry to bolster competition, he added.
