The military-industrial scientific research system of the academic master.

Lorenzo was obviously blinded and remained stunned in silence for a while before asking again:

"In this case...how many flights do you have to fly to complete a research project?"

You must know that the cost of test flights is much higher than that of a wind tunnel, not to mention that icing is not a 100% opportunity to seize every takeoff, and a large number of sorties will definitely be wasted.

He thought he didn't mean to look down on others. In fact, based on what he had seen in the past few days, Huaxia should not be so rich and wealthy.

"It does require a lot, so as I said just now, we can only study 400 microns to 1 millimeter, and there are still many details that need to be further improved and excavated."

Chang Haonan took a sip of grape juice without changing his expression:

"If this negotiation can proceed smoothly, we can consider jointly building an icing test center like NASA. Of course, it is for SLD research after all, and the equipment must be more advanced. The results of the research will be shared by both parties. "

“Build together?”

Lorenzo on the opposite side felt that there might be a pitfall in this statement.

"Yes, you provide the money and we provide the technology."

Chang Haonan was not prepared to hide his purpose. In fact, if Ms. Valette had not just quickly proposed to suspend the negotiations, he would have planned to raise the matter in one go today——

Give Fucheng an icy test wind tunnel for free.

After all, Valette's mistake just now revealed that JAA has almost no technical reserves in the field of icing and anti-icing research under SLD conditions.

Of course, she can't be blamed for this. The original negotiation plan did not include this part that Chang Haonan improvised, which was equivalent to a sneak attack.

But in any case, since the core technology needs to be provided by China, it is reasonable for you wealthy Europeans to provide some money to support some research hardware, right?

"This……"

In fact, according to Lorenzo's idea, if the Chinese people can really achieve the research level they claim to have in the research on icing mechanisms, this matter will be agreed to.

But after all, he couldn't make a final decision, so he had to end the topic a little abruptly:

"This issue still has to wait until both of us decide during the negotiation process."

"Anyway, it's a pleasure to meet you today, Professor Chang."

After speaking, he raised his glass and clinked it with Chang Haonan.

"You're too anxious. I'm not a professor yet, I'm just...well, I'm studying for a Ph.D., but I'd like to lend you some good advice."

The latter replied with a chuckle.

The translator beside him relayed this sentence to Lorenzo, and the old professor who was drinking almost choked because of this sentence.

……

After the dinner party, members of the Chinese delegation quickly returned to the hotel they had arranged and held a meeting overnight.

"Comrade Xiao Chang, none of you here have read the note you just wrote to me. Why don't you just talk about your thoughts?"

After a simple opening, Huai Guomo, as the host, directly raised the topic to Chang Haonan

"Comrades."

Chang Haonan pulled the desktop microphone in front of him from the side:

"In the past few years, although there have been differences between the European and American aviation industries, the common interests and demands are still greater than the contradictions. For a late-developing country like us, it is very difficult to break the situation, so this negotiation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. Opportunity."

"Comrade Xiao Chang, I remember that you were opposed to in-depth technical cooperation with Europe at the beginning, not to mention that we still have the technical advantage in terms of icing and anti-icing."

This kind of unrecorded internal meeting did not have so many rules, so someone in the venue quickly raised a question directly:

"So what can we gain from this collaboration? Or what do you think we should ask for?"

"Technical cooperation is of course not the core issue. If it can be achieved, let JAA pay for the construction of an icing wind tunnel for both parties. Of course, the location must be chosen domestically. It can also be regarded as adding to our aviation infrastructure. If it cannot be achieved, then it depends on us. It’s okay for me, but Europeans may need us to help with design for a long time to come.”

Chang Haonan waved his hand and replied.

When he said the last sentence, that the Europeans wanted China to help design aircraft, everyone in the room smiled knowingly.

Either way, it sounds great.

But this was not over yet. After Chang Haonan paused for a few seconds, he said the next sentence:

"More importantly, I hope that through this negotiation we can achieve reciprocal and mutual recognition of civil aviation products between our CAAC and European JAA. If this can be achieved, we can even consider making some concessions in specific technical aspects."

The conference room, which had been noisy just now, suddenly fell silent.

Several people who had just picked up their water glasses and were about to drink water subconsciously stopped.

At this time, everyone finally knew why Huai Guomo agreed to Chang Haonan's somewhat radical idea at the negotiation site that was not in line with the usual tone of negotiations on China's side after receiving the note.

This temptation is indeed too great.

With the investment and participation of AgustaWestland, it is basically a certainty that the MA-60 itself will have difficulty obtaining European airworthiness certification.

But what Chang Haonan said is not a matter of two models at all.

If the relevant agreement is indeed signed, then all aircraft manufactured by Huaxia in the future will be equivalent to passing the JAA's certification as long as they pass its own airworthiness certification.

It is extremely important for the development of the entire civil aviation industry.

Although EASA has not yet been formally established, the influence and recognition of its predecessor JAA are also constantly increasing, and it has a tendency to rival the US FAA. For many countries that do not have independent certification capabilities, one aircraft has obtained European and American certification Aspect-certified aircraft will obviously be more acceptable.

So this not only means that Chinese passenger aircraft can enter the European market in the future.

There is also the Middle East and Southeast Asia which are equally significant.

Especially the former.

Airlines owned by the tycoons in the Middle East, such as Qatar Airways and Emirates, are still in the development stage and have not received much attention from major aviation manufacturers.

But these airlines are really examples of how to live in Hedong and Hexi for thirty years and not to bully young people into poverty.

Chang Haonan, who came back from more than 20 years later, knows very well how exaggerated the scale they will develop in the future.

Among other things, Emirates has the largest Airbus A380 fleet in the world, with 123 aircraft!

This was the result of canceling a large order. The original plan was to buy 163 aircraft.

Needless to say, the rest of the small planes are not even batted an eyelid by big money buyers.

It’s a market that makes people drool just looking at it.
