Chapter 641: I'm going to be an agent

Aviation materials?" Schumann's face was even more dazed, he didn't expect Tengfei Group to also get involved in aviation materials.

"Nomex, Kevlar, and T700!" Yodel sighed and said two proper nouns.

Schumann was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he opened his mouth a few times to say something, but for some reason, his lips moved for a long time and he couldn't say a word.

Nomex material is the name of DuPont in the United States, called aramid 1313 in China, and called honeycomb aramid within Tengfei Group, because of its light weight and strong toughness, it is generally used to make reinforced honeycomb structures, that is, the so-called aramid paper honeycomb composite materials.

In fixed-wing aircraft, this material is generally used as the movable rudder surface of the wing, the leading edge flaps, ailerons, hatches and other main structures.

The second is the main cabin structure widely used in private jets and business jets, so as to reduce the total structure of the whole aircraft, enhance the airtightness of the aircraft, and reduce the noise in the cabin.

However, compared to large aircraft and private jets, the most widely used material is helicopters.

From the honeycomb of the main support structure in the helicopter rotor, to the composite material used to reduce the weight of the fuselage and hatch, to the reinforced structure at the bottom of the fuselage to insulate from heat and cold and resist damage, almost every key large component has the shadow of Nomex on it.

Not to mention, this material is widely used in the "Black Hawk" helicopters produced in the United States.

Kevlar material, also produced by DuPont in the United States, is called Kevlar in Chinese, and the domestic name is aramid 1414, which is more accustomed to being called enhanced aramid within the Tengfei Group.

Because the material function of different grades is not the same, some can be used as the main material of bulletproof vests or helmets, and some can bear the reinforcing protective layer on the outside of the optical fiber, and only a very small number of reinforced aramid can be applied to the aviation field as one of the basic materials for reinforcement, so as to improve the performance of the whole aircraft.

Among them, the most widely used carbon fiber composite material is T700.

However, whether it is Nomex, Kevlar or T700, all of them are the most cutting-edge aerospace materials in the world today, and only the United States and Japan can produce these three types of materials at the same time several times all over the world.

As for Europe, although it has been working hard to develop it for so many years, it cannot withstand the dumping of such high-end aviation materials by the United States and Japan, resulting in the rapid collapse of the European industry, which can only be imported from the United States and Japan.

Of course, it is said that it is imported from the United States and Japan, but in fact, we can only look at the faces of the Americans, because Japan is arrogant and arrogant, and it is just a tool man who is choked by the neck of the Americans.

If the Americans want the Japanese to get up, they can make Japan rise, and when they see that Japan wants to surpass the United States, they don't have to look back and dig it out, they can directly slap it back to its original shape, and Japan can't have the slightest temper, so they must politely bow to the American lord and thank him: "Grandpa, your slap made me feel good!"

Because of this, although in the international market, these three types of high-end aerospace materials are related to the competition between Japan and the United States, it seems that the two sides are still fighting fiercely, in fact, all resources are in the hands of the Americans, forming a de facto monopoly.

Therefore, the high price of these three types of aerospace materials is called an outrageous one.

This is not counting, between the important application of this kind of material in aviation and aerospace, the United States has also put it on the strategic control list, and has engaged in a set of similar fantasy hierarchical divisions in terms of exports, with one price for core allies and another price for peripheral allies, and friendly countries directly open their mouths, and other countries may not be able to buy them even if they take more money, because the Americans directly embargo them.

Therefore, one of these three types of materials in the international market is counted as one, and they are basically sky-high, even if they start at the price of the core allies, it is so expensive that it makes people vomit blood.

However, the major aviation manufacturing giants in the United States have vigorously promoted and applied these materials, which not only made the prices of the aircraft they produce continue to rise, earning more huge excess profits, but also causing the costs of major aviation maintenance companies to rise sharply.

As a result, some airlines with poor strength, even if they buy a large passenger plane, will be abandoned in a few years, and would rather buy a new one than find a way to repair the old one, because the cost of repairing the old aircraft may be higher than the cost of buying a new one.

In turn, this has pushed up the sales of aircraft models of American aviation giants.

People in other countries of the world are not stupid, and naturally they can see that this is an absolute weapon used by the United States to engage in monopoly, but they dare not speak out in anger, and if you don't have this thing in your hands, even if you are doing something, what can you do to the Americans?

Endure a breath to engage in independent research and development?

It's a good choice, but before you can figure it out, the Americans will join forces with Japan to start large-scale promotional activities, all kinds of discounts can hit you doubt life, let you produce as much as you want, until you are consumed to death, and the materials of others have been upgraded again, and continue to press you to death at high prices.

For so many years, including Airbus, the European aviation industry has been treated by the Americans as if they were pinching eggs, stubbornly not wanting to lie down, but it is difficult to stand up if they want to stand, so they can only bow their bodies like shrimp and let the American aviation manufacturing giants slap in the face, one of the key reasons is this.

Boeing and McDonnell Douglas have used these materials on a large scale to improve performance, Airbus will fall behind if they don't use it, and they will be beaten if they fall behind, but if they do, the cost will be higher than that of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, and they can only carefully maintain a balance, and the European aeronautical engineers are almost mentally ill.

As a member of the European aviation industry, Schumann naturally knew the dilemma that Europe encountered in this field, so when he heard that Tengfei Group could produce these three types of materials, he was surprised at the same time, and he really understood why the two aviation maintenance giants were so anxious to come to see Zhuang Jianye.

It doesn't matter what the market is, if you can get low-priced high-end materials, that's the king, you must know that the American aviation manufacturing giants pinching the eggs of high-end materials and eating alone have seriously affected the interests of these aviation maintenance giants.

It is cheaper to buy new planes than to repair old ones, and if this development continues, who will repair old planes and buy new planes, and what will happen to these people who are engaged in aviation maintenance business?

So whether it's Donald Vane or Morston, they don't care much about the Tengfei Group's encroachment on the market, they just want to be able to get low-cost aviation materials, so as to reduce their own costs, and then live better.

Realizing this, Schumann's originally blank eyes looked at Yodel's gaze and became quite resentful: "Why didn't you report such an important matter earlier?"

Yodel shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "Even if I report, do you think the bastards at the headquarters can believe it?"

Schumann's old face flushed, he didn't hear it, waved his hand, and then removed the topic, and then with a little impatience: "This time the plan has changed, compared with seeking technical support, I hope to take down the European agency of these three types of high-end materials." ”
