The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

"Build 10 more Y-10s, 5 in the style of business jets, and 5 in the style of commercial transport aircraft!"

Liu Tao said to Ma Fengshan, "I have confidence in Yun 10. I believe Yun 10 is safe!"

At present, Yun-10 has not been able to obtain the airworthiness certificate, and it has not obtained the airworthiness certificate from the mainland, let alone the airworthiness certificate from Europe and the United States.

Of course, there is no airworthiness certificate, which just means that it cannot be put into commercial use and cannot be used as a civil aviation passenger aircraft for transporting passengers and commercial transportation.

If it is used internally by Panshan Group, it does not matter.

"Mr. Liu, would it be more appropriate to use the 'Yun-13' model for the five business jets?" Ma Fengshan hesitated.

Currently, he is leading two types of passenger aircraft, both of which are large jet airliners, one is the Yun-10 and the other is the Yun-13.

Yun-10 is a mainline passenger aircraft, and Yun-13 is a regional passenger aircraft.

The Yun 10 is much larger than the Yun 13, and the cost is also much higher.

Liu Tao said: "Yun-10 is needed, so is Yun-13. Yun-13 will be built with 7 more business models and 10 commercial transport aircraft."

Business jets are used internally by Panshan Group.

After all, you can take off at any time without waiting for a flight.

With the rapid development of Panshan Group, many people need to travel for work.

For example, Li Weimin had to travel all over the country and even go abroad.

People like Li Weimin, Feng Defeng, etc. all need special business jets.

Logically speaking, they need a special plane.

It’s just that this condition didn’t exist before, so many people still took civil airliners.

Now as the conditions gradually mature, Liu Tao is also considering this aspect.

As for transport aircraft, let alone that. Panshan Group itself has a huge demand for shipping, and many of them need to be transported by air because time is urgent.

Some factories and production bases are now beginning to build their own small airports for transportation purposes.

Factories and production bases require commercial transport aircraft. Sheep, beef, seafood, fruits, etc., which have a great demand for transportation time, also have a great demand for commercial transport aircraft.

Moreover, these business jets and transport aircraft can also be used as part of the entire test flight process to identify problems during use and train pilots and ground staff.

Of course, building so many Yun 10 and Yun 13 also accelerates the formation of the entire package and increases production.

Now there is no need to build it here at Guifei Group, but at XAC Group.

But the supporting facilities are the same. After the construction of the aviation production base here of Guifei Group is completed, these supporting factories can immediately provide supporting facilities for Guifei Group.

The supporting facilities for passenger aircraft are not concentrated in one place, but are dispersed throughout the country. This is also for the sake of industrial safety.

For strategic industries like this, strategic security needs to be placed in a very important position, making it extremely difficult for the enemy to destroy it.

At the same time, this also promotes development in various places.

If it were not for the fact that Modu Aircraft Factory is now immersed in doing OEM work for overseas, Liu Tao would have wanted Modu Aircraft Factory to also build Y-10 and Y-13.

"Understood!" Seeing Liu Tao say this, Ma Fengshan said nothing more.

Ma Fengshan is deeply aware of Panshan Group's wealth.

And the energy is huge, far beyond what the Magic City Aircraft Factory can compare with.

Liu Tao and Ma Fengshan came to the research institute, which specializes in the design and research of commercial passenger aircraft.

There are hundreds of young people here in related majors. At least they have a bachelor's degree, and many have master's degrees or even doctoral degrees.

Coupled with the older batch, the entire institute has thousands of scientific researchers.

This is still happening now. In the future, the entire Commercial Aircraft Research Institute will have more than 10,000 scientific researchers and will become a very large research institute.

Liu Tao built a research headquarters specifically for this commercial aircraft research institute, but it has not yet been completed.

In the future, various types of business jets, commercial helicopters, passenger aircraft, etc. will be responsible for this commercial aircraft research institute.

This involves all aspects, such as passenger aircraft seats. Whether the seats are good or not depends on whether passengers are comfortable and safe, as well as seat belts, etc. These are all specialized research topics.

Liu Tao took a look and chatted with the scientific researchers.

These young scientific researchers are the seeds of China's aviation industry and will support the future of China's aviation industry.

The aviation industry has a huge market. Let’s talk about the civil aviation industry. It’s not just passenger aircraft. There are also helicopters and business jets. Let’s talk about business jets. There are many types involved.

Business jets come in different sizes, and they need to cover the needs of different customer groups and have different price ranges.

The market in this area is very large.

In terms of business jets, Boeing mainly prefers large business jets, but Liu Tao wants everything because China Aviation Industry can afford it when it develops in the future.

The aviation industry is a high-end manufacturing industry, and it would be great to have more of it.

After inspecting Ma Fengshan, Liu Tao went to the other side. The other side was the Military Aircraft Research Institute. Now this research institute has been completed and the personnel have moved into the headquarters.

Each layer represents a different direction.

On the first floor, you can see a helicopter model, which means that the first floor is dedicated to the development of military helicopters.

Guifei Group is developing a helicopter based on the "RayDiao" helicopter, such as developing a special version for medical treatment, developing a fire-extinguishing version, developing an electronic reconnaissance version, and developing a special version for armed transportation.

A ‘Ray Sculpture’ helicopter can be developed into versions with different focuses, and these all require a team to do.

Liu Tao developed the ‘basic version’. If various versions are developed from the ‘basic version’, these researchers must be relied on.

The second floor is the trainer aircraft development center, where the task is to develop trainer aircraft, keep pace with the times, and develop trainer aircraft that meet the needs of the Air Force.

The third and fourth floors are fighter aircraft development centers, which mainly upgrade and transform various fighter aircraft, develop different application versions, and explore future fighter aircraft.

The fifth and sixth floors are reconnaissance aircraft, transport aircraft, early warning aircraft, tanker aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, and drone development centers.

Different regions have development centers with different functions. For example, according to regional distribution, a reconnaissance aircraft development center, a transport aircraft development center, and so on have been formed.

Commercial aircraft and military aircraft, although they are both aircraft, their thinking is different and there are very big differences.

Commercial aircraft consider safety, comfort, and economy.

Military aircraft, on the other hand, are based on military needs and the performance they can perform on the battlefield. Everything is considered based on military needs and the battlefield. Safety, comfort, and economy are not the focus of military aircraft.

Even when there is no other way, an aircraft engine life of 100 hours is not unacceptable.

Commercial aircraft do not need to consider high-speed and high-altitude flight issues.

However, for military aircraft, Mach 2 or even Mach 2.5 is normal, and the maximum altitude is often 20,000 meters, and there are also strong maneuverability considerations.
