Comac C919 | Wikipedia

The United States has suspended certain sales of critical technologies to China, including those related to the CFM International LEAP-1C engines used in the Comac C919 aircraft. This move also affects GE Aerospace engines intended for the Comac C909, previously known as the ARJ21, according to The Air Current.

Additionally, export license approvals have reportedly been paused for components from Honeywell Aerospace and Collins Aerospace, a subsidiary of RTX. Both companies supply crucial avionics and cabin systems for the C919. This development occurs amid ongoing trade tensions between the US and China.

The suspension highlights China's reliance on Western technology to advance its aviation sector. In addition to restrictions on LEAP-1C engines for the Comac C919, US authorities have halted export approvals for GE Aerospace engines powering the Comac C909. The Comac C909 is equipped with General Electric’s CF34-10A turbofan engines and plays a key role in China’s regional aviation market. Currently, more than 170 C909 aircraft are in service, alongside 18 C919s operating with airlines such as Air China, China Eastern, and China Southern.

The supply cut could significantly slow production of the Comac C919, which Beijing views as a competitor to Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 models. With only one engine option available for both aircraft types—LEAP-1C for the C919 and CF34-10A for the C909—any disruption would leave newly built planes grounded.

In response to these challenges, China is developing domestic aircraft engines through Aero Engine Corporation of China (AECC). Although progress has been slow due to new requirements like using fully domestic parts, AECC reports that “the CJ-1000 engine is undergoing trial runs” with promising results. Originally slated for service by 2020 but delayed until 2030 due to certification processes expected by 2027.

Collins Aerospace supplies various systems essential to both aircraft models: development simulators; passenger door actuation; exterior lighting; ice protection/prevention equipment; pilot controls; fire/overheat protection systems; power distribution equipment; electric power generation systems—all vital components necessary even beyond just propulsion units alone when considering comprehensive
