Reborn 80s

Chapter 353
At this time, the transport aircraft used in China was the Il-76, a large transport aircraft that was finalized in 1974 and entered service in 1975.There are several versions of the Il-76. The Il-76MD has a maximum load of 48 tons, and the Il-476 has a maximum load of 60 tons.

At present, many domestic Il-76 aircraft have been handed over to United Airlines to be operated by civil aviation airliners. In fact, the army has limited funds and cannot afford to support these oil-swallowing beasts.

United Airlines, an airline established in 1984, uses mostly aircraft transferred from the military.

Chen Huaiqing: "You guys are planning to borrow chickens to lay eggs!"

At present, there are no large transport aircraft in China, but Huaguo cannot say that it cannot have large transport aircraft.

But there is no money for research and development.

Then it seems normal to find Mota Aircraft and let Mota Aircraft develop it.

Mota Aircraft is a joint-stock enterprise, and the shareholder composition is mainly based on Meta investment, and then several domestic aircraft manufacturers hold a part of the shares with technology investment.

Now Mota Aircraft is not short of money at all, and there is Meta investment behind it to support it.

In this world, no one knows how rich Meta Investment is, including Chen Huaiqing.

The wealth owned by Meta Investment is constantly changing every day, how to say it clearly.

Xu Zhiming smiled and said: "We are also referring to the practice on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. The military aircraft on their side are all produced by private companies."

People do this, and the effect is really quite good. Although the price is a bit expensive, as long as there is something, the price is acceptable.

Now it is not a question of price, but a question of what you have to have.

In this case, the Murta aircraft can be involved in the field of military aircraft.

Facing the military industry system on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Chen Huaiqing can only concede, the problem is serious!
This is not the time to discuss this.

"To study a large transport aircraft, the technical difficulty is a bit high. The technical difficulty is not a big problem. If you invest more money, I believe that any technology can be done."

Chen Huaiqing is full of confidence in this. Numerous facts have proved one point, that is, Huaguo's scientific research and technical personnel are very smart. As long as they are given enough financial support, they can produce what they want.

Huaguo has been ahead of the world in technology for thousands of years, and it didn't happen casually. It still relies on better brains than them.

Even in modern times, Europe took the lead temporarily, but China quickly caught up again.

And it still absorbed European things into Huaguo.

Now it belongs to Huaguo to absorb all kinds of things from the world, good and bad, anyway.

After the national power is strengthened, the people of insight in the Hua Kingdom will inevitably stand up and guide and reshape the entire civilization.

Chen Huaiqing pinched his chin: "If we study large transport aircraft, in ten years, the national financial resources will be several times what it is now, and the army's funding will also increase rapidly. At that time, there will be money to purchase large transport aircraft. .”

"Minister Xu, what you said is indeed very tempting."

The troops need transport planes, and they also need transport planes in the civilian field!
For example, in the express delivery industry, Fengshun Express was the first to establish an aircraft cargo department, and the number of cargo aircraft is still growing.

After the development of the semiconductor industry in Rongyu, it also needs to use airplanes to transport goods.

"For the research and development of large transport aircraft, I will ask Mota Aircraft to establish a project, and try to spend 15 years to get it done."

To develop an aircraft, the time span is particularly long.For Mota Aircraft, there are still quite a few shortcomings that need to be made up, and it can be said that there is a long way to go.

Chen Huaiqing: "If you want to develop such a large transport aircraft, you must also need a large forging press, which must be more than 6.5 tons."

The Soviet Union has the strongest large-scale forging press in the world. It has two 7.5-ton large-scale die forging presses, which are respectively installed in the Kuibyshev Aluminum Plant and the Upper Sarda Titanium Plant.

These two giant machines are national treasures.

Without these two large die forging presses, it would be impossible to manufacture large aircraft.

On a large aircraft, there are too many parts that need to be forged by this level of die forging press, otherwise they will not meet the requirements at all.

Why was Airbus established in Europe?
Not because it has a 6.5-ton large die forging press.

This 6.5-ton large-scale die forging press was purchased by the Gaul Oberduwa Special Steel Company from the New Kramato Heavy Machinery Factory in 1976.

The New Kramato Heavy Machine Works also manufactured a 7.5-ton large die forging press.

Xu Zhiming frowned. Now the largest die forging press in China is only 3 tons.

Chen Huaiqing said with a smile: "It is really not easy to build a large transport aircraft. There must be no rush. Let's do it slowly. What is lacking, we will make up for it."

The entire industrial system in the 80s could not support the manufacture of large aircraft at all.

Of course, research and development can be carried out, but it is normal for the things in the laboratory to be more than ten or twenty years ahead of the outside world.

Technology cannot create wealth in the laboratory, it has to go out of the laboratory.

If you want to get out of the laboratory, you need strong industrial capabilities.

Huaguo's industrial capabilities must continue to be strengthened.

So now that there are more, we should make more technical reserves.

For example, in terms of avionics systems, first create your own avionics system. As long as you have the technology, you can copy and adjust it on various aircraft platforms according to your needs.

Gu Weitong looked at Chen Huaiqing worriedly, young people, don't aim too high!
Young people all have a sense of urgency. If you do something now, you want results tomorrow.

"Chen Huaiqing, building a large transport aircraft can't be done in a few years."

Chen Huaiqing: "Minister Gu, don't worry, I don't want to play the Great Leap Forward. The most important thing about Mota Aircraft now is to spend energy on the research and development of two small civil aviation airliners."

At this time, in China's civil aviation market, where large passenger planes are needed, to be honest, except for major cities, other cities do not need them at all.

First of all, a question, customer source!

It is not a simple matter to fly now, you have to issue a certificate and the like.

Of course, if the commercial airliner of Murta Aircraft comes out smoothly, the situation will be different again.

To support the development of the aviation industry, there will definitely be some policies.

For example, air routes, free airport construction fees and the like.

If the airport construction fee is waived, the ticket price for domestic planes will be much lower.

"I personally hope that before 95, the two regional airliners can be finalized, and in 97, they can start to be delivered to airlines."

"And, in 2000, the complete localization of the entire aircraft manufacturing can be realized. Including the engine."

Mota Aircraft has an engine research and development project.

Mota Aircraft took over all the R&D personnel and R&D materials of the Turbofan 8 aero-engine.

After Mota Aircraft took over the Turbofan 8 project, it first moved the Turbofan 8 project from Shencheng to Rongcheng, and placed all the R&D personnel in Rongcheng.

Then Mota Aircraft acquired the Rongcheng Aircraft Engine Factory to continue developing the turbofan 8 engine.

As for why the project was moved from Shanghai?
Chen Huaiqing has always felt that Shanghai is a city with a strong business and financial atmosphere, plus there are many foreigners.

The research and development of large aircraft is a relatively sensitive project.

Now Shencheng Aircraft Manufacturing Factory is cooperating with McDonnell Douglas to produce aircraft!
At this time, the global civil aviation passenger aircraft market, not to mention the Soviet civil aviation passenger aircraft, is led by Boeing, McDonnell Douglas and Airbus.

Shanghai Shencheng attaches great importance to the cooperation with McDonnell Douglas, and believes that through this cooperation, it can learn advanced technology.

So the Murta plane took everything, and it went well anyway.

If someone has so much money that they want to burn it, no one can say no.

After all, Chen Huaiqing's money is his own, and he can't say anything about how he spends it.

What was announced to the public is that Huaguo has given up its investment in the turbofan 8 project.

Anyway, in the national plan, there is no longer a research and development plan for large aircraft.

As for the research and development of the Mota aircraft, that is not in the national plan.

The state will pay attention and support, and if they don't end up in person, they just want to see if it can be done well through the business model.

Mota Aircraft first develops regional airliners to practice and accumulate technology, which is recognized by everyone.

To overcome difficulties, we must first start with soft persimmons, and then concentrate on gnawing hard bones.
