Windows 10 is one step away from running out of support. Almost half of the world’s computers continue to trust him, even more

by

In just over 40 days, Windows 10 will stop receiving patches and security updates. Microsoft will thus mark the end of support for an operating system that still Almost half of the global market dominates (In Spain, 54%). Windows 11 It has been in the market for several years, but the change has been slower than expected. The countdown is still underway And millions of users apparently have not yet decided how to face the jump before October arrives, although those willing to pay may keep it with extra support. What real options now has the standard user The end of support does not mean that your computer stops working, but it is more exposed. Microsoft offers three main outputs: Make the leap to Windows 11. If your PC has the necessary hardware, the update is free and guarantees updates and new functions. The equipment that does not meet requirements will have to be renewed to continue protected. Pay for extended updates (ESU). With this plan they continue to receive security patches paying an annual fee. It is designed to win margin, not to stay indefinitely in Windows 10. Keep Windows 10 or explore alternatives. Install Linux or using the system without support in controlled environments is possible, but requires assuming risks and planning in the medium term. Compare the situation of Windows 11 with that of its predecessors helps to understand if this slow change is an exception or simply history that is repeated. According to statistaat three years and ten months of life Windows 11 is around 49% of the global market. Windows 10, at that same age, had reached about 57%, and Windows 7 moved in even higher figures, around 61%. At the opposite end, Windows 8.1 barely reached 10%, a reflection of his warm welcome. These data draw a clear pattern: Windows 11 progresses more slowly than its successful predecessors, but leads widely against Windows 10. Everything indicates that the hardware barrier, which leaves millions of old teams out, explains a good part of this rhythm. It is not that users resist by custom, but that the jump to the new generation implies more effort than ever, and that shows in global and European figures. The slow advance of Windows 11 is better understood when looking at the requirements imposed: TPM 2.0 and a closed list of processors leave out millions of computers that were runnings 10 without problems before. For many users, update implies renewing the equipment, and that slows the transition. There are unofficial methods to install Windows 11 on non -compatible PC, But doing so entails risks. The result is a slower adoption and a Windows 10 that is still very alive at the doors of its end. Microsoft Operating Systems Market share at a global level Europe and Spain advance to another rhythm. While the global average shows that Windows 11 is already present in almost half of the teams, in the old continent Windows 10 maintains more than 53% quota and Windows 11 is around 43.9%. Spain follows that same pattern (54% in Windows 10 and 42.61% in Windows 11), with practically traced figures. ANDThe result is a photograph other than the global: Here the version jump progresses more slowly and Windows 10 is still the protagonist at the doors of its support end. Microsoft operating systems market share in Spain Update resistance is not unpublished either, although the current context has nuances. Windows 7 reached its support end in January 2020 with a still significant presence, around 27% of the global market, but already surpassed long by Windows 10. Today the situation is different: Windows 11 leads, but Windows 10 retains almost half of the teams, just over a month of running out of patches and official support.

Why the airlines continue to force us to put the airplane mode in 2025

by

“Please be sure to put your electronic devices in airplane mode Before takeoff. If your device does not have a plane mode, bring it completely during the flight. ” Something similar to this message is reproduced thousands of times every day in the world and, although not everyone pays attention, a usual gesture when sitting on the plane is to connect the plane mode. 25 years after birth The plane mode, although the message continues to reproduce, it is no longer mandatory to put the mobile in plane mode. However, there are pilots who continue to defend their use for a reason: their comfort. It made sense. The airplane mode was born as a result of a concern: the possible electromagnetic interference that electronic devices could cause in both communication and navigation systems in airplanes. It was a possibility, like the one that existed of light fourth to gasoline in gas stationsbut the chances of a catastrophic failure They were very low. However, to mitigate any potential risk and guarantee safety, the measure of prohibiting the use of electronic devices during certain phases of the flight was adopted. Fiction has contributed to still thinking that something can go wrong, such as the moment of ‘The Simpsons‘In which Bart is playing with a Game boythe hostess asks him to turn it off and, in doing so, the plane begins to plumn). As these devices advanced and added more networks, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and more powerful connections, the “plane mode” was adopted that disable these transmissions. And, as the main motivation of this function was its use in commercial flights, the name and icon of the plane was consolidated although its use was recommended in other environments such as hospitals or the aforementioned gas stations. 2014 and 5G. After implanted and turned into A standard for several devicesin 2014 things began to change. In September, the European agency EASA He gave the passengers free to use their electronic devices without plane mode. That most lax attitude left the ball on the roof of the airlines, which could maintain or not the mandatory use of the airplane mode and, in fact, many have adopted internal Wi-Fi systems that allow them to earn more money. One of the famous Extras of the companies. Asterisk. While the plane is not going to fall, the use of this way is still promoted for a very specific reason: the crew comfort and controllers. These years, in well -known blogs such as’Ask The Pilotor like Some pilots commentAviation experts have appeared that comment that the way to prevent an annoying buzzing for communications is recommended. And it is logical. As Comment The pilot Rafa San Julián, from Iberia, the aircraft teams are “much more protected than formerly and are much less vulnerable.” Now, the plane mode is still recommended for a very specific reason: technology and Power of mobile networks It advances every few years and “it cannot be predicted if these interference will occur with the new equipment. Therefore, as a safety measure, it is requested that the mobiles put in plane mode so that they do not emit with the same power with which they would issue without that mode,” he says. Concern by the way 5g. And block with what Boeing detected a few years ago. FAA, which is the US aviation agency, He issued Directives warning about possible 5G signal interference in band C (3.7 to 3.98 GHz in the US) Be too close of the frequency used by the radio heights of Boeing and Airbus aircraft (4.2 to 4.4 GHz). These radio altimeters are essential in landing maneuvers and in other systems such as soil proximity notice. The concern would affect airplanes such as Boeing 737, 747, 777 and 787, and would force pilots to perform landing maneuvers in safe and more manual mode. However, no serious accidents or incidents have been reported due to this interference and, if They have canceled or delayed flightsit was due to an increase in caution. In fact, FAA itself command Shortly after a message of tranquility. That distance of 0.22 GHz It is enough As if there are no interference, but at that time it was not more caught. Fly calm. Therefore, not remove the plane mode during a flight will not make the plane fall, but it can generate a buzz or White noise In communications, being annoying for pilots and controllers. Activate it is a good idea to save battery and so that if you are going through a country without roaming and remotely get coverage, do not charge you five euros for downloading a WhatsApp message.

Huawei’s problem against Nvidia is that China’s own companies prefer to continue using Nvidia

by

Chinese companies that are dedicated to the development of large models of artificial intelligence (AI) are trapped. On the one hand they are being forced to deal with the export restrictions of the GPU imposed by the US government. And, in addition, they are subject to His own dependence on American technology. A priori the optimal solution for them would be to stop buying Nvidia and other US companies their chips for AI, and getting “comparable” GPUs proposed by Huawei or Moore Threadsamong other Chinese companies. However, as explained in your article to Foreign Policy The American analyst Kyle Chan, the scenario they face is more complicated than it seems. And it is that abandoning Nvidia in practice is very difficult. According to ChanTencent, Bytedance, Alibaba and other Chinese companies prefer GPUs for NVIDIA because their performance is greater, especially when facing the training processes of their AI models. However, they especially opt for the chips of this American company thanks to CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture). CUDA is the most devastating Nvidia weapon to continue leading in AI Hardware Most of the AI projects that are currently being developed are implemented on CUDA. This technology brings together the compiler and development tools used by programmers to develop their software for NVIDIA GPUs, and replace it with another option in the projects that are already underway it is a problem. Huawei, who aspires to an important portion From this market in China, it has Cann (Compute Architecture for Neural Networks), which is its alternative to CUDA, but for the moment CUDA dominates the market. “China must develop an alternative system to achieve self -sufficiency in AI” This declaration of Li Guojie, a computer scientist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences that is considered an authority in China, Express clearly how important are the tools that I just mentioned in the AI models development ecosystem: “China must develop an alternative system for achieve self -sufficiency in AI (…) Deepseek has had an impact on the CUDA ecosystem, but has not completely overcome it because barriers persist. In the long term we need to establish a set of software tool systems for the controllable that exceed CUDA. “ This is undoubtedly one of the great challenges that China faces in this area, and probably its best option is Cann. During the last five months Huawei has launched two GPU for Ia Very competitive and is about to take a very important step: Cann will position as an open source tool kit. Its purpose is, According to Eric Xu ZhijunRotary President of Huawei, “to accelerate the innovation of developers and get the chips of the Asce Family to be easier to use.” Xu Zhijun does not mention it expressly, but what his strategy pursues in the background is to increase the competitiveness of the Huawei ecosystem attacking Nvidia where he is stronger. In addition, it has already begun to discuss with the main actors of the AI industry of China, as well as with its business partners, universities and research institutions How to build your ecosystem Open source ascend. If this initiative thrives, and presumably will, it will represent a very important step forward on the road to China’s technological independence.

Its sales continue to fall in Europe in the face of the advance of the Asian electric car

by

What Tesla It is not going through its best moment In Europe it is no secret. Elon Musk’s company still resents of the fleeting, although media, controversial and Extremely changing support From his CEO to the president of the United States, Donald Trump, and the unstoppable advance of the Chinese electric car. The latest data reflects: sales in the main markets of the old continent remain in free fall. Although not everything is bad news. The data. The most important European markets for Tesla (and for the car market in general) are the United Kingdom, France and Germany. In these countries, the fall in Tesla’s registration, a strong indicator of sales, has been pronounced. Why does an electric car have less autonomy than the announcing Image | Charlie Deets According to information shared by Reuters and Bloombergonly in July the enrollments fell 60% in the United Kingdom, 55% in Germany and 27% in France. The rest of the countries They do not fall short: 86% in Sweden, 52% in Denmark, 62% in Holland, 58% in Belgium, 5% in Italy and 49% in Portugal. On the whole. If we look at the full photo, the figure is even more striking: Tesla sales have fallen 45% In the ten European markets that, together, accumulated 80% of Tesla sales in Europe during the first half of the year. In other words, Tesla’s sales continue to go downhill in the most important European countries. So far this year, the sales of Elon Musk’s firm have fallen a third in the old continent. And there are no countries in which it grows? Yes, Spain and Norway, to be exact. In Spain, Tesla car registrations increased by 27% (702 cars) in July, which represents a 1.1% growth so far this year. It is a percentage that does not accompany the growth of the electric car market in our country: 89.6%. In Norway, a country in which 97.2% Of the cars sold in July they were electric, increased 83% or what is the same, 838 cars. Image | Xataka Byd advances Tesla on the right. As it could not be otherwise, Asian manufacturers have taken advantage of the situation to continue eating the toast to Tesla. According to the data of the Jato consultancy of those echoing from The countryonly in the month of June Byd sold 15,565 cars in Europe of which 9,153 were electric (132% more). The semiannual figure is much more interesting: 41,270 electric cars, 143% more. The panorama has changed a lot. Best selling cars. The good news for Tesla is that, despite the fall in sales, the best -selling electric car continues to sign during the first semester of the year: the Tesla Model and. He Volkswagen ID.4 He is closely followed with a dangerous and threatening second place. The photo, however, is very different if we look at our country. Best -selling electric cars in July | Image: ANFAC The Spanish case. If we take a look at the most recent data from the ANFACwe will see that the best -selling electric cars in July have been the TOYOTA BZ4X (604 units), the Byd Dolphin Surf (531 units) and the KIA EV3 (493 units). It is not until the fourth position that we find a Tesla, Model 3, with 456 units sold. The Tesla Model and, meanwhile, falls to the tenth position. Plug -in hybrids best selling in July | Image: ANFAC In the accumulated January-Julio, Tesla goes quite well stopped. The Tesla Model 3 is the best selling electric with 4,545 units. They are followed by Model and (3,282 units) and KIA EV3 (3,206 units). In plug -in hybrids, the undisputed leader is the Byd Seal U.whose sale in July added 738 units (1,616% more).

The US has realized how risky it is to continue pressing China. His reverse looks for a “face to face”

by

The US is softening its export restrictions to China. In early July, the administration led by Donald Trump allowed Nvidia to sell Your H20 GPU To its Chinese clients. At the time This movement surprised us because it clearly indicated that an obvious change was consolidating in the US strategy in front of the nation governed by Xi Jinping. According to the newspaper Financial Times This relaxation of export restrictions to China seeks to “avoid damaging trade negotiations with Beijing.” And it is presumably this week US and China will resume their negotiation to establish the rules that will resolve their future commercial interests. As expected, this rudder of the US administration favors the interests of Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom and other companies, but not all members of the Trump administration support this initiative. According to Financial Timessome White House advisors are pressing the government to maintain their blockade to China. Nvidia needs TSMC to manufacture 300,000 H20 chips for China Donald Trump wants to meet “face to face” with Xi Jinping before he ends this year, again according to the information he has Financial Times. The intention of the US president is to file roughness with his Chinese counterpart with the purpose of promoting negotiation in commercial matters that both countries have maintained for many months. Just a few hours ago they have gathered in Stockholm (Sweden) Scott Besent, the US Treasury Secretary, and He Lifeng, the Vice Prime Minister of China, so it is evident that the negotiation follows its course. After many months of uncertainty the current scenario clearly benefits Nvidia. The company directed by Jensen Huang saw its survival in China threatened by The sanctions approved by the Department of Commerce from the US, but This volantazo changes everything. And its protagonist is the chip for artificial intelligence (AI) H20. The reception that Chinese clients of Nvidia initially gave to this GPU was very good despite the fact that the capabilities of this chip are clearly inferior to those of the other proposals for this company. After many months of uncertainty the current scenario clearly benefits Nvidia In fact, initially the Department of Commerce allowed its sale in China because this integrated circuit met the restrictions it had imposed. And despite its limitations its sales in China grew by 50% quarter to quarter since it reached this market in mid -2024. Everything was complicated for Nvidia in the middle of last April. And is that the US Department of Commerce imposed new restrictions To the export to China of the H20 GPU, which in practice caused this chip to stop reaching the Chinese clients of this company. This news sank Nvidia’s actions by 6% because it could no longer address the commitments linked to the H20 GPU it had acquired. Among the Chinese customers who had bought it Large amounts of this GPUand presumably planned to continue doing it, were Tencent, Alibaba or Bytedance. Finally Nvidia has achieved That the Department of Commerce review its regulation and allow you to sell the H20 GPU in China again. Surprisingly this scenario has put Nvidia in trouble. And, once again, the reception of the H20 GPU in China is being so good that this American company has run out of units. According to ReutersNvidia has commissioned TSMC for the manufacture of no less than 300,000 units of this chip to be able to respond to the current demand from China. Blessed problem. However, the company’s engineers have been working on A new GPU with Blackwell microarchitecture The latest generation that is intended to occupy in China the place of the H20 chip. In fact, presumably TSMC began in June the production of The B30 GPUwhich is how it seems to be called. What we know at the moment is that this chip for AI will be less capable than the H20 GPU, as is logical, and also that its price will move Between 6,500 and $ 8,000. For domestic users it is a lot of money, but in the field of professional GPUs for AI it is a moderate price. In fact, the H20 GPU costs between $ 10,000 and $ 12,000.

Every day millions of people face a deafening squeak. They do it every time They take the subwaya means of transport with many lights but with this great shadow. It is something that we live together almost without realizing: we have done everyday unbearable, but the question is: What is that noise? Damn rolling. As he points out In the country Soledad Torres Guijarro, professor at the University of Vigo, the problem with the subway is the rolling, a noise whose origin comes “from the roughness of both the wheel and the raíl”. The problem has been studying for half a century, and affects both the subway and the railroad. Even the naughty ones that unite the rails “can be excited with those vibrations and become radiated elements.” The tunnels do not help. While railroads circulate outdoors, the subway usually does it underground, inside a tunnel. That aggravates the situation because the tunnels are very reverberant spaces that amplify all the noises produced by the train. A study Made by Cecor in May 2022, it was concluded, yes, that “there is a small number of people exposed to noise levels greater than those marked” in official documents. This plane shows noise levels in one of the areas covered by Metro line 5 in 2022. Source: Community of Madrid / Cecor. Worse in curves. The squeak produced by the friction of the train tracks is aggravated in closed curves. That “howl” It is due to the lateral sliding of the wheels on the upper part of the railroad. There are other noises that add to those squeaks: the separation between the rails-to allow the thermal dilation of the metal-also causes the traditional “click-clac” sound when the subway cars pass over. Rescue brakes. The problem has tried to mitigate with varied improvements. For example, they decreased by replacing Zapata brakes with the disk, this expert explained. The former rely on the wheel surface itself, but those of disco, much more silent, do not act against the contact surface. And smaller wheels. Smaller wheels have also begun to be used, because the smaller the vibrant surface, the less capacity it has to generate sound. Even so, Torres stands out, roughness will always be there. Other solutions. There is no unified response to the problem, but there are subway networks in which varied measures have been applied. In the New York Metro for example It was modified the way in which the tracks were fixed to the ground. The concrete naughty used there were covered with rubber to mitigate vibration, for example. In addition, panels were installed that absorb the noise on the ceiling and walls of the station, something that is complemented with the increasingly common protective acoustic screens – like those that were installed In the Biscay metro– installed close to the roads. WHO recommendations. The World Health Organization (WHO) has specific recommendations for different noise sources. According to A document Updated in 2022, less than 54 decibels for noise caused by trains (44 decibels at night) are recommended. To try to mitigate the problem, the experts of this agency propose to “apply line rectified procedures to eliminate deformations and corrosion in the railways.” In a study on Hongkong Metro made in 2019 It was concluded that the average noise was 74.1 dB with 100.9 dB peaks. BOE No. 178, of July 26, 2012. And in Spain, what limits are there? In Spain, state reference regulations regarding environmental noise is the Law 37/2003, of November 17, of the noise (BOE No. 276, of November 18, 2003), and the Royal Decrees 1513/2005of December 16 (BOE No. 301, of December 17, 2005) and 1367/2007of October 19 (BOE No. 254, of October 23, 2007). The latter was updated with the Royal Decree 1038/2012of July 6 (BOE Nº 178, of July 26, 2012) with limits 5 dB higher than those of the previous document: the noise was not less, but more. 65 dB on residential soil. All of them transpose the 2002/49/CE European Directive, of June 25, on Evaluation and Management of Environmental Noise (DO No. 190, of July 18, 2002). In that last Royal Decree Annex III determines the limit values in rail and airport infrastructures, which fit what the Who points out although they do it depending on the type of soil: from day, up to 60 DBA for land of sanitary or teacher use (55 in the previous annex, for example), 65 dba for residential and 75 for industrial (50, 55 and 65 DBA at night, respectively).

While in the West we continue to discuss whether to use in class, China wants students to use it more and more

by

In many Chinese university campuses, the use of artificial intelligence is no longer discussed: it is used. According to a mycos institute surveyonly 1 % of teachers and students claimed not to use generative tools. The remaining 99 % do and almost 60 % declare to use them frequently. It is a notable turn with respect to two years ago, when accessing Chatgpt It involved resorting to mirrors and VPN. Today the movement is the opposite: the centers drive their use. As Mit Technology Review points outthe transition has been fast, but planned. At the University of Zhejiang, an introductory subject of AI is mandatory for all students since 2024. Others such as Fudan, Renmin or Nanjing have opened transverse courses to any discipline, beyond computer science or engineering. Beijing marks the passage for AI The focus is in the use with criteria: internal guides, concrete examples, recommendations on what tasks can rely on generative models and which human judgment should prevail. Interaction with the machine is treated as one more skillcomparable to other technical literacy. McKinsey estimates that China will need 6 million professionals with AI domain for 2030 Several universities are developing their own courses focused on local alternatives to Chatgpt. Centers like Shenzhen and Zhejiang have launched teaching programs on Deepseeka model that seeks to position itself as a national reference in generative. Others are already forming their students in the use of Doubao, the chatbot developed by Baidu and one of the most widespread in academic environments. In April 2025, The Chinese Ministry of Education issued national guides for Primary and Secondary, aimed at promoting critical thinkingdigital fluidity and practical application in these academic stages. For its part, Beijing has already mandatory the teaching of AI in all centers of the city, from primary to high school. For the University, these general recommendations have resulted in plans of each institution and the creation of internal courses and regulations. Spain is already moving In Spain there are universities that have gone from the debate to action: new degrees focused on AI and tutors based on AI that accompany the study Without giving the answer made. All with an objective: to train professionals who work with ia without losing critical thinking. If we focus on the rest of the West, the use is massive, but the rules not so much. Let’s deepen a little. USA: Ohio University He has made mandatory The training in AI for all its first year students. In California, programs such as Chatgpt Edu are arriving at public universities to offer free access to generative models. Europe: the European Commission promotes the Digital Education Action Plan 2021–2027with ethical guides and teacher training. Universities such as Maastricht, Gothenburg or Edinburgh have approved their own frames. Networks like Yerun or the US work to harmonize criteria and share good practices. Decisions, for now, remain mostly decentralized: They depend on each institutionof each faculty … and, in many cases, even of each teacher. It is a flexible model, with advantages and disadvantages, compared to the most structured approach that China has adopted. Two different paths to address the same reality: AI has come to stay, and mastering these tools will be key. What is still being defined is how to teach them, when and under what criteria.

China already has a robot that installs 1,000 solar panels per day. It is your weapon to continue dominating renewables

by

The world is converting deserts into photovoltaic oasis. In recent years, we have stepped on the accelerator to achieve ambitious objectives of decarbonization (That the amount of energy consumed by AI are slowing down) And they are being built ‘Solar farms‘Absolutely demential. Many are in Chinacountry that has taken renewables seriously, and to build at the rhythm they needhuman labor is not enough. That’s where robots come into play, and they already have one that places 1,000 panels up to date. Saturn. Sunpure is a company that is dedicated to the integration of robots in the photovoltaic industry. We have already talked about them because the key point of a solar farm is not so much the amount of panels it has, but If these are clean. For example, they have a solar energy fed robot that is responsible for Keep panel ranks clean to optimize your energy generation. But they also have the Saturn. Presented A few weeks ago, this robot has a head that allows to raise a pallet of solar panels and an arm capable of taking those panels and placing them in the rails. Precision. Those responsible claim that it takes less than five seconds to calculate the position in which the panel should go, it fixes it with an accuracy of about five millimeters and the four -meter arm allows to operate with both large panels and very large guide structures. Its autonomy is 72 hours and claim that it is between three and four times more efficient than a human by being able to place between 600 and 1,000 panels per day. He is already working in some solar plants and seeing it in action is a hypnotic: Essential. This integration of robotics into photovoltaic farms is striking, but much less is new or original. In Spain we have Robots-Jardineros that take care of the plants, but we are also installing panels with Sunpure saturn robots similar. In the United States, more of the same. There they have maximum, A robot that also works tirelesslyraising and installing panels of up to 40 kilos in trial fields that, according to its creators, will be essential for the future of world energy. Reason does not lack, since the estimate is that 15,000 solar modules per hour are being installed in the US with a weight of 225,000 tons and the objective is to increase that rhythm by 2035 to 50,000 panels per hour. 24/7. The problem? We want more renewable energies, but there are difficulties in finding labor. That’s where this type of robots come into play. In the United States, 90% of solar energy companies have admitted complications When finding qualified personnel for the installation of these farms. With robots that have autonomy for several days, they work tirelessly thanks to sensors that allow operating in any condition of light and protection against water and dust, humans are relegated to “simple” observers, controlling that the machine does its work correctly. Dominate the market. Beyond having robots, whether the first or not, that China is investing in automating the placement of panels to increase the rhythm, responds to a clear declaration of intentions: that of Continue dominating the market with iron fist. The Asian giant has established itself as the greatest power in green energy, with investments of more than 625,000 million dollars in clean energy in 2024 (three times more than what was invested, and that were very focused on it), and that energy already represents 10% of its GDP. In addition to direct implications, it is something that implies that 90% of the Global Polisilicio Production80% of Lithium batteries and about 70% of the magnets of Rare earthall key both renewable and electric car is under its control. And this huge industrial infrastructure is allowing that China handles very interior prices for technology and has become the great supplier of the world in energy matters. And, in the end, it translates into the fact that it produces so cheap that the rest of the countries buy them instead of competing with their own developments.

The US will finally continue selling engines for C919. He has also given China a reason not to need them again

by

USA has given green light to continue selling engines for the Comac C919the plane with which China seeks to challenge the Airbus-Boeing duopoly. But that same decision contains a paradox: it has given Beijin one more reason to move towards Your own autonomy. Who ensures that another restriction is not applied within a few months? What will happen when that plane begins to cross borders? China has been preparing for years. The C919 is not a prototype or a laboratory promise: it is a narrow fuselage aircraft that can accommodate up to 192 seats and boasts a range of between 4,075 and 5,555 kilometers. At the moment they are in service 18 units, but orders multiply. China’s aerial dream flies with western help (for the moment) This ambitious project continues to depend largely on foreign engineering. The flight control system, the brakes, the plane, the auxiliary power unit … A good part of the critical components come from American or European companies. And in the center of everything, the engine: the LEAP-1Cdeveloped by CFM Internationala joint business between the American Ge Aeospace and the French Safran. The United States Department of Commerce Department to reactivate the export licenses of the aforementioned engines is presented as a momentary relief for China, which will be able to comply with the expected delivery deadlines, but also as a signal. As Hugh Ritchie points outCEO of Aviation Analyst International in Australia: “Without access to that technology, in essence US would control the pieces of Chinese airplanes.” China has been learning to read between the lines. Each commercial restriction, each veto, has been interpreted as a notice. When the Trump administration vetoed Huaweithe blow was very real. His market level collapsed and seemed to be out of the game. But far from resigning, Huawei redoubled his technological commitment. In 2025 he has recovered an outstanding place in the marketlaunches phones with own chips such as Kirin 9010 And he has reactivated his muscle in artificial intelligence with his new Ascend 910c. The automotive tells a similar story. For years, Chinese manufacturers dealt with the distrust of the international market. Today, names such as Byd or MG compete in price, design and autonomy with historical manufacturers. It has not been a blow of luck, but the result of a strategy. That is why C919 is not an isolated case. It is part of a pattern. So everything seems to indicate that it is a matter of time for China stop depending on Western engines. He CJ – 1000A It is the name of the engine that develops AECC (Aero Engine Corporation of China) as a national alternative to the LEAP -1C. It is not finished, it is not certified, nor does it have a green light for mass production. But progress silently. LEAP -1C, the western engine used by Chinese mate The plan has been running for years. The prototype It has completed several Tests at Banco Esque 2018. According to Airinsightthe declared objective is that the CJ -1000A is ready to replace the LEAP -1C in the future versions of the C919 throughout this decade. The most optimistic forecasts indicate that the Chinese engine could be certified for commercial flights around 2030, although a 2035 distant is also on the horizon. China has several arguments to continue working in that direction. The Chinese aviation market is one of the largest on the planet, and grows with a speed that few can match. According to the commercial Boeing Market Outlook 2024–2043China will need around 8,600 new commercial airplanes during the next two decades. Comac wants to keep a portion of that demand. And if you get it, you will not need to leave the country to become a relevant actor. That explains why the C919 can be allowed to operate exclusively within China as long as it advances in international certifications. Also why their own engines – although they are not ready tomorrow – have guaranteed an entrance way. An internal market of that size offers something that few economies can ensure: scale. In parallel, Comac does not hide its outer ambition. The European regulator (EASA) estimates that C919 certification could reach between three and six years since 2025which places the possible approval between 2028 and 2031. If you get it, it will finally make the leap out of its borders. Images | Comac | Safran In Xataka | The EkranoPlano was the most delusional plane designed by the USSR.
