Boeing Partners With China Challenger Comac on Energy Research


By Jasmine Wang
     March 6 (Bloomberg) -- Boeing Co. will work with Commercial
Aircraft Corp. of China on fuel-efficient technologies after
forming a partnership with a planemaker that’s challenging it in
the world’s fastest growing aviation market.
     The aircraft-makers will jointly fund a new research center
in Beijing that will examine ways of paring fuel use and
emissions, according to a PR Newswire statement today, which
didn’t say how big the investment was. They will also have
annual leadership meetings and exchange market forecasts.
     The tie-up will bolster Boeing’s presence in China and may
also help Comac develop the C919, the nation’s first large
passenger jet and a competitor for Boeing’s 737. Airbus SAS also
opened a production line in China in 2008 to help win sales in a
country that will need to buy 5,000 new planes through 2030,
according to Chicago-based Boeing.
     “Our new Technology Center shows that two companies in a
competitive industry can partner to make progress on important
challenges that cannot be solved by one company alone,” Jim
Albaugh, Boeing’s commercial-aircraft head, said in the
statement. “That is good for customers and passengers, and it’s
the right thing to do.”
     Comac’s C919 is due to make its maiden flight in 2014
before entering service two years later. The company’s ARJ-21
regional jet is running more than four years late.
     The Shanghai-based planemaker is also in talks on a
possible partnership with Bombardier Inc. Calls to Comac’s media
office went unanswered.
