How China Tried to Outsmart Airbus - But FAILED Miserably

Video Description

In the early 2000s, one of the first Airbus A320s sold to China completely disappeared from radar. No commercial flights. No passenger records. French manufacturers were stunned when their nearly 100 million dollar jet simply vanished without a trace. It became a ghost plane. Twenty years later, French intelligence revealed the shocking truth: it had been systematically dismantled, piece by piece, to copy every component. This led to China's C919 - their answer to Boeing and Airbus. But here's what makes no sense: despite airlines waiting over a decade for new jets, despite a global aircraft shortage crisis, almost no one outside China will fly the C919. The reason why reveals how aviation really works. Research & Script: Mervin Sousa Editing: Rishabh Narration: Oliver
