“阿嬌”來了：國産ARJ21飛機正式入編
ARJ21（Advanced Regional Jet for 21st Century）即“21世紀新一代支線噴氣機”，是中國按照國際標準研製的具有自主智慧財産權的飛機，主要用於滿足從中心城市向周邊中小城市輻射型航線的使用要求。
ARJ21 (Advanced Regional Jet for 21st Century), a new generation of regional jet in the 21st century, has been developed by China in accordance with international standards with independent intellectual property rights. It is mainly to meet the requirements of radial routes from central cities to surrounding small and medium-sized cities.
ARJ21客機于2002年4月經國家批准立項，2008年11月28日在上海成功首飛，自2016年6月28日投入航線運營以來，已在中國華北、東北、西南等地區先後開通55條航線，通航55座城市，安全運送旅客89萬餘人次。
ARJ21 was approved by the state in April 2002 and successfully flew in Shanghai on November 28, 2008. Since it was put into operation on June 28, 2016, it has opened 55 routes in North China, Northeast China, Southwest China and other regions, opening 55 routes to 55 cities and safely transporting more than 890,000 passengers.
相比C919中型客機，ARJ21客機身材更“嬌小”，全長33.46米，翼展27.29米，全機高8.44米，機身大致相當於三輛公交車的總長，三層居民樓高。可愛的外形，被網友們昵稱為“阿嬌”。
Compared with the C919 medium-sized airliner, ARJ21 is more ‘petite’, with a total length of 33.46 meters, a wingspan of 27.29 meters, and an overall height of 8.44 meters. The fuselage is roughly equivalent to the total length of three buses and the height of a three-storey residential building. That’s how it earned the monicker ‘The Petite’.
外形嬌小，“性格”卻很強勁。兩台發動機佈置在機尾兩側，發動機雖小，但動力十足且降低了飛行中的噪音，使旅客在乘坐時更為舒適，而且飛行平穩，安全可靠。
It’s small in appearance, but strong in character. The two engines are arranged on both sides of the tail. Although the engine is small, the engine is full of power and reduces the noise in flight, which makes passengers feel more comfortable, stable and safe.
ARJ21項目團隊歷經十餘年的艱辛探索和自主創新，攻克了各類技術難關，填補了我國航空工業多項空白，使中國商業航線上正式有了自主研製的噴氣客機。最近，三架嶄新涂裝的新支線客機ARJ21-700型飛機分別交付給國內三大航空公司，標誌著中國自主研發噴氣運輸類飛機進入主流民航市場。
After more than ten years of hard exploration and independent innovation, the ARJ21 project team has overcome various technical difficulties, filled a number of gaps in China's aviation industry, and officially developed a jetliner on China's commercial routes. Recently, three newly painted regional airliners, ARJ21-700, were delivered to the three major domestic airlines, marking the entry of China's independent research and development jet transport aircraft into the mainstream civil aviation market.
ARJ21飛機入編後，對推動支線飛機運營，探索適合中國國情的幹線支線相結合的航空發展模式，構建更加通達順暢的航空運輸網路有著積極作用。隨著越來越多的ARJ21飛機投入市場，將助推中國民航大眾化戰略，不斷滿足民眾日益增長的出行需求。
After the ARJ21 aircraft is incorporated, it will play a positive role in promoting regional aircraft operation, exploring the aviation development mode of combining trunk and branch lines suitable for China's national conditions, and building a more accessible and smooth air transport network. As more and more ARJ21 aircrafts are put into the market, it will boost the popularization strategy of civil aviation of China and continuously meet the increasing travel demand of people.
