Airshow China • The future is here

2024 中國航展 • 未來已來

第十五屆中國航空航天博覽會(“中國航展”)日前在珠海落幕,參觀這次航展的曹光彪書院學生,被現場飛行表演所震撼,也對靜態展覽產生濃厚興趣。

“耀眼的太陽驅走了所有的黑暗,留下五彩渲染的天際,也正如中國空軍75年來走過的風風雨雨,一代又一代奔赴藍天的造夢者的汗與淚鑄成了如今的成就。…”

“昵稱『黑胖妞』的運20震撼登場,當它正面駛向我時,撲面而來的壓迫感好似辛棄疾筆下『氣吞萬里如虎』。”

“運20的開放預約吸引了眾多觀眾,這不僅是對中國空軍實力的自信展示,更是對公眾開放透明的積極態度。各型戰鬥機和支援裝備的整齊列陣,展現了我國空軍在制空作戰、空中打擊以及戰略投送等方面的強大體系,彰顯了現代戰爭的複雜性與高科技化趨勢。”

在靜態展覽方面,同學們特別關注低空航空器在低空經濟的巨大潛力,從快遞配送到農業監測,電動垂直起降飛行器及新型航空器等創新產品,正在改變我們的生活方式,也為企業和公眾帶來了新的機遇。

例如,飛行汽車“小鵬匯天”,飛行器隱匿在巨大的尾箱裏,科幻感十足。未來如果量產,飛行汽車穿梭於中國現代都市高樓大廈間,令同學們直呼“未來已來”!

另一方面,隨著國產大飛機C919投入國内多個航綫,C929中遠程寬體客機正進入詳細設計階段,大家期待未來有一天能乘坐它到國際旅游。

曹光彪先生生前曾創辦第一家從香港直航內地的“港龍航空”公司,適逢曹光彪書院創院10週年,書院學生通過參觀航展,秉承曹先生的創業精神和愛國典範,親身體驗祖國航空航天整體實力的飛躍發展,並大大提升對祖國的自豪感和認同心。

The 15th China Aerospace Exhibition recently concluded in Zhuhai.  Students from CKPC who visited the air show were shocked by the live flight performance and also became very interested in the static exhibition.
 
“The dazzling Sun drove away all the darkness, leaving behind a colorful sky.  Just like the ups and downs the Chinese Air Force has gone through in the past 75 years, the sweat and tears of sky dreamers have created today’s achievements. .…”
 
“The Yun 20, nicknamed “Black Fat Girl”, made a shocking appearance. When it drove towards me, I was totally in awe.”
 
“The opening of reservations for the Yun-20 has attracted many audiences. This not only showed the confidence and strength of the Chinese Air Force, but also a positive attitude towards openness and transparency to the public. The neat array of various types of fighter jets and support equipment demonstrates the Chinese Air Force’s ability to control the air. The powerful system in combat, air strikes and strategic projection demonstrates the complexity and high-tech trend of modern warfare.”
 
On the static exhibitions, students paid special attention to the huge potential of low-altitude aircraft in the low-altitude economy. From express delivery to agricultural monitoring, many innovative products such as electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft are changing our lifestyles and bringing benefits to enterprises and the public.
 
For example, the flying car made by the company “XPENG AEROHT” has a science fiction feel. The aircraft is hidden in a huge trunk of the car. If mass-produced in the future, such flying cars will shuttle between high-rise buildings in modern Chinese cities, making students say “The Future is Already Here”!
 
On the other hand, as the domestic large aircraft C919 is put into use on many domestic routes, the C929 medium and long-range wide-body passenger aircraft is also entering the detailed design stage. Everyone looks forward to taking it for international travel some day in the future.
 
During his lifetime, Mr. Chao Kuang Piu founded “Dragonair”, which is the first airline company serving direct flights from Hong Kong to the mainland.  Following his entrepreneurial adventure and patriotic spirit, students from CKPC personally witnessed the rapid development of the aeronautic and aerospace industry in China by visiting the air show.  This also greatly enhanced their pride and affection for the motherland.
