2018年CRI 飞机制造商齐聚中国寻找商机

（单词翻译）

Aerospace¹ companies from across the world are competing in the booming corporate² jet market in Shanghai.

Vendors³ and business leaders are optimistic despite rising tension between the US and China over trade.

Ed Bolen, president and CEO of the National Business Aviation Association, says the sector⁴ has seen remarkable⁵ growth in China.

"40% of our exhibitors are actually Chinese or Asians, so once again it is remarkable to see how fast growth takes place in China particularly in Shanghai and how quickly business aviation has taken root here in this country and also grown very quickly with 'Chinese characteristics'."

Tit-for-tat trade tariffs⁷ between China and the US had worried aviation industry leaders and stock traders when American aeroplanes were proposed to face Chinese tariffs.

But the tariffs are far from being enacted⁸.

The Chinese tax agency says the date on which the 25 percent tariff⁶ hike might take effect would be announced later depending on what US President Donald Trump's government does about plans to raise duties on a similar amount of Chinese goods.

Dassault aerospace corporation deputy director Carlos Brana says Chinese consumers are looking for long-range aircraft that function as mobile offices for long trips.

"The Chinese market is very interested in long-range airplanes. In fact, we are manufacturing different kinds of airplanes from airplanes going from 3300 nautical⁹ miles to airplanes going to 6450 nautical miles. So this is the 2000s from 3300 nautical miles and yet you can see them more than 6000 nautical miles."

Dassault unveiled an infrared¹⁰ camera system that allows pilots to see through fog and bad weather, called FalconEye.

Support firms like fuel, logistics, tarmac services, and luxury customization, including luxury brands like Harrods and Rolls Royce, showcased their products at the Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport.

Scott Neal, senior vice¹¹ president of Gulfstream, says the market for business jets is booming in China.

"I think business aviation has nowhere to go but in China it will continue to grow and expand. As Chinese companies expand outside of China and do business other places in the world they've realised the utility of a business jet like a Gulfstream can bring to them to allow them to grow and expand their businesses and reach locations that they really can't reach efficiently¹² on the airlines."

Manufacturers from across the world are displaying more than 30 jets and helicopters designed for corporate, luxury and diplomatic purposes at the Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition in Shanghai which ends Today.
