Comeback 1992

Chapter 804 New Ark 700

The "spy photos" of the new aircraft were exposed on the Internet in the afternoon of that day. At [-] o'clock in the evening, the news focused on the news about Kunpeng, the latest large military transport aircraft developed by Xinghai Xifei.

There are not many specific announcements, that is to say, Huaguo's new generation of large military transport aircraft officially started test flight today.

On the news screen, there is a shot of Kunpeng rushing from the ground to the sky.

Quite handsome and powerful.

The news is very concise, and it is announced that the Kunpeng large-scale military transport aircraft is powered by 4 Fuxing Power Brute engines.

The data of the height, wingspan, and captain are announced.

As for other data?

No!

Then the host used a very flat tone, as if announcing a small matter: "The development of Kunpeng's large military transport aircraft is the need of national defense and economic construction."

The whole news was not long, the information released was very little, and the host's words were just a few sentences.

But when the news was reported, the whole world was shocked!

Surprised, but also somewhat skeptical.

Especially in Western countries, they feel that Huaguo is simply playing tricks and defrauding funds.

This is what they left behind.

In fact, this news seems to have a great impact, and for most people, they don't pay attention to it at all.

After watching Kunpeng's first flight, Han Songlin didn't say he would leave immediately.

He and the military are discussing the purchase of Kunpeng.

But facing Xinghai Xifei's quotation of [-] million yuan, Liu Hongcheng and his party all expressed that they could not accept it.

Now the annual military expenditure is only more than 1500 billion, but the number of troops is 300 million!

On average, for each person, the annual expenditure for one person is only 5 yuan.

The account must not be calculated in this way. The consumption and maintenance of all kinds of equipment require money.

In addition, other equipment must be purchased.

1500 billion a year is really stretched.

Faced with Kunpeng's quotation of 7.986 million yuan, the military really can't afford it at this time.

In the end, the military has gritted its teeth and ordered four Kunpengs, and even received a deposit of 5 million yuan.

The purpose of doing so is very simple.

I'm afraid that Xinghai Xifei won't be able to make any money, so I'll let him down.

Xinghai Xifei is not like other military enterprises, Xinghai Xifei has to be responsible for its own profits and losses.

If Xinghai Xifei devotes all its energy to civilian airliners in order to make money, then it won't delay things.

Is Xinghai XAC working on civilian airliners?

Yes, Xinghai XAC is indeed engaged in civilian airliners.

The first thing to do was a small regional airliner, the MA 60 known as the "air tractor"!

MA 60 is derived on the basis of Y-7, and Y-7 is designed and derived on the basis of An-24 aircraft.

Although the MA 60 aircraft is designed, produced and tested in accordance with the China Civil Aviation Airworthiness Regulations CCAR-25 (the first standard in line with international standards).But the polar bear pedigree of this plane is too strong.

Anyway, North Russia's aviation products are rough, unrefined and unreliable.

MA60 also inherits these.

According to history, Xinzhou 60 will be exported to third world countries. These countries are not reliable in terms of aircraft maintenance level.

It is simply impossible for them to maintain the plane well.

MA 60 needs good maintenance (I understand the reason!), and these countries cannot provide you with good maintenance, and the accident rate of MA 60 aircraft in the world remains high.

After Xinghai Xifei was established, it was not very interested in the Xinzhou 60, a small regional aircraft that can only seat more than [-] people.

Although the MA60 aircraft has an airworthiness certificate!

At the beginning, Xinghai Xifei focused most of his energy on the localization of Fat Girl.

As for other things, it really doesn't matter.

Then XAC was merged into Xinghai XAC as a whole, and the matter of civilian regional airliners was brought up again.

In March 2002, Xinghai XAC submitted an application to the headquarters of Xinghai Group to study a new type of civil regional airliner.

As for why Xinghai Xifei needs to apply to Xinghai Group for a research project?

It's a very simple matter, because Xinghai Xifei seems to be huge, but it has always been supported by Xinghai Group in terms of funds.

If you don't report to the group, where are the research and development funds coming from!

Han Songlin subconsciously rejected Xinghai Xifei's proposal to establish a project to develop small passenger jets.

What is the meaning of this small airliner? If you want to do it, you can use a trunk airliner!

At least the kind of medium-sized regional airliner, the kind that carries Bailai passengers.

The Xinzhou R&D team of Xinghai Xifei initially hoped to carry out improved research and development on the basis of the Xinzhou 60 and create a Xinzhou 600.

Xinzhou 60 has too many problems, so it is natural to improve it.

But things changed here with Han Songlin.

Just ask if you can develop a medium-sized regional airliner!

This question is really hard to answer.

Because the Xinzhou R&D team really couldn't develop it.

There are two situations in which Xinghai Xifei can start R&D projects, one is that the market prospect is particularly good, and the other is that the country needs it.

No matter what kind, as long as the research and development is successful, the research and development team can get a large bonus.

And you can also get the profit share of product sales, although it is only [-]% of the profit share, and it is only for three years.

But this is also a very good thing for the R&D team!

In the end, Xinghai XAC established the MA700 small regional airliner project, and the research and development this time was quite difficult.

Because it is necessary to complete the development of a new model, not to mention changing it on the basis of Yun 7.

Yun-7 itself is already old, and many designs can be said to have fallen behind the times.

And Yun-7 itself is heavy, and the problem of short structural life has never been solved!

It is a fundamental design problem, and unless it is overthrown and redone, the problem will never be solved.

As for tearing down and redoing?

Isn't this just re-developing an aircraft?

Everything is researched and developed from scratch, and the time and personnel are easy to talk about, but the funds need to be a lot.

And there is no guarantee that the developed aircraft will work.

MA700 is an aircraft with 60-80 passengers, including two pilots and two flight attendants.

With a flight attendant, that's fine too.

This kind of small aircraft should have reduced operating costs as much as possible.

The turboprop engine used in the engine is a turboprop engine produced by Fuxing Power.

In the past few years, Fuxing Power has not just been eating dry food, but has sorted out and digested the engine data obtained from Uzbekistan.

It is not a problem to take out a Xinzhou 700 turboprop engine. After all, Fuxing Power also has a large number of engine design and development personnel from Eastern Europe.

The Xinzhou 700 aircraft with turboprop engine is destined to be unable to fly too fast, and the speed is only more than 600 kilometers per hour, and it will not work any faster.

On the contrary, large ducted turbofan engines are suitable for aircraft with a speed of 400-1000 hours per hour. Passenger and transport aircraft basically use large ducted turbofan engines.

Of course, the turboprop engine does not seem to be flying very fast, but in terms of efficiency, the turboprop engine is better than the turbofan engine.

Therefore, turboprop engines are more fuel-efficient than turbofan engines!

This small civil passenger aircraft is very suitable for turboprop engines.

Chapter 805 We are facing a special market

If we continue to develop new models of Xinzhou in the future, such as Xinzhou 900, which can carry 90 people, turbofan engines should be used on the engine.At this time, it is not a matter of considering Xinzhou 900.

Han Songlin will agree to the establishment of a small regional airliner such as the Xinzhou 700. One of the very important reasons is that compared with the mainline airliner market, Boeing and Airbus have to face two giant companies. and Samba Aerospace Industries.

For persimmons, find soft ones first!

To be honest, it is really surprising that Samba will become the king of regional jets in the future.

Of course, Samba, one of the BRICS countries, can't justify it if it doesn't have something to offer.

Of course, Xinzhou 700 at this time has already regarded these two companies as rivals.

Don’t even think about the mainline airliner market now. The most important thing now is to open up the situation in the regional airliner market.

The MA 700 can be placed with considerable high hopes.

Now accumulate technology first, and the domestic market alone can support Xinghai Xifei in the trunk liner market.

I am used to the huge fuselages of Fat Girl and Kunpeng, and then look at the MA700, the gap is quite big.

The MA 700 project was established last year, and it took less than two years to complete the design, demonstration and manufacturing process.

The prototype will come off the production line, and it will be next year.

It's not long until next year.

Because it is already November.

After a series of tests, if all goes well, the airworthiness certificate may be obtained next year.

Han Songlin is not worried about the quality of aircraft production.

The entire front-line production management of Xinghai Xifei is the same as that of Fuxing Industry.

After so many years of operation, this production management mode has proved to be a very good production management mode.

Workers are significantly more serious about production.

In addition, the technical level of workers has improved rapidly after the implementation of the new production management model.

The improvement of the technical level of workers, coupled with the strict requirements for production quality, the level of product quality is not mentioned.

Production is carried out in strict accordance with the production process.

Of course, if workers find problems with the issued production process requirements, they can directly raise them.

If it proves to be correct, there will definitely be rewards.

It's not the kind of reward of a few yuan or tens of yuan. The minimum is a hundred yuan, and the maximum is tens of thousands or one hundred thousand. It doesn't mean that it is impossible.

Han Songlin folded his arms around his chest, his eyes were full of thought.

"The 70-100-seat regional airliner market still belongs to a blue ocean in the global market. MA700 aircraft has considerable opportunities in this vast market."

"Although I don't want to put too much pressure on you, there is one thing I have to say! We see opportunities, and the two foreign airlines, Bombardier Aerospace and Samba Aviation Industry, also see this market."

“庞巴迪宇航CRJ700客机在2001年1月份的时候，交付给用户。人家的CRJ900客机，在今年2月份交付给客户，4月份的时候投入运营。”

"The Samba Aviation Industry ERJ-70 aircraft successfully flew for the first time in 2002. It is good news that they have not yet started delivery."

Han Songlin looked at the people surrounding him. If he came to inspect, someone would naturally accompany him.

The management of Xinghai XAC and the chief designer of Xinzhou 700 are here.

They all know the news.

Xinghai Group attaches great importance to the collection of business intelligence, and collects information on major international companies and outstanding start-up companies.

"From a global perspective, only these two companies will form fierce competition with us in the regional airliner market."

"They have taken the first-mover advantage, especially Bombardier Aerospace, and the aircraft have been delivered. This is not very good news for us."

"But, it doesn't matter! I thought about it carefully. Our Xinzhou 700 is facing these two old regional airliner manufacturers. If we want to compete with them in the European and American markets, as a newcomer, we must not be able to compete with them. Therefore, we will There is only one way, to a third world country."
