This quota has surpassed the super large order for the export of special aerospace equipment and technology to Pakistan, creating a new history of Ascendas Group in terms of exports.

If this alone is nothing, the key is that Lin Guanghua did not make Tengfei Group pay any price while winning such a large order.

$200 million is the cost of 120 WD-56ML turbofan engines and supporting special parts.

$400 million is the purchase cost of six Thunderbolt-120 long-endurance drones and two sets of special control equipment.

$140 million is the price of 80 WD-48J high-power turboprop engines.

The US$65 million is the technical service fee for Ascendas Group to undertake the research and development of the Spey MK807 turbofan engine full digital electronic control system produced by Brazilian Aerospace Industries.

The $1.2 billion is the total cost of the Thunderbolt-120 long-endurance UAV assembly line introduced by Brazilian Aerospace Industries.

In addition, the first $1 billion NB-233 3D printing equipment and technology upgrade costs were reached.

Embrar Aerospace Industries has generated more than $2 billion in revenue for Ascendas just around the Thunderbolt-120 long-endurance drone and high-tech specialized equipment.

As for the core technology of the Thunderbolt-120 long-endurance UAV that Brazilian Aerospace Industries has been obtaining, the technology transfer of the aero engine full digital electronic control system.

Zhuang Jianye glanced at the data on the fax twice and knew that Lin Guanghua did not give any of them.

Otherwise, why would Brazilian Aerospace Industries have to purchase an additional 80 WD-48J high-power turboprop engines and pay 65 million US dollars for the technical service fee for the research and development of the Spey MK807 turbofan engine full digital electronic control system?

It is clear that Lin Guanghua is following his request, throwing the unimportant things to the Brazilians, holding the real core firmly in his hands.

After all, the key to long-endurance UAVs is still in the aero engine, if the fuel-saving technology of the aero engine is not up to par, the control technology is poor, and the manufacturing technology cannot keep up, how can the fuel efficiency be maximized, and how to squeeze the potential of every drop of oil to the explosion?

Therefore, the platform of the Thunderbolt-120 long-endurance UAV can be given, which is nothing more than the TY-6 large UAV platform, but the core WD-48J high-power turboprop engine cannot be so casual.

The same is true for the all-encompassing digital electronic control system of the aero engine, the servo motor, the electronic control box and other hardware that the Brazilians want to take, but the core control software, management algorithms and data processing do not need outsiders to worry about.

Just like 3D printing equipment, NB-233 Brazilians as long as they have money, how much they want, Tengfei Group is open to supply, but the more advanced NB-255 is not good, because Tengfei Group is still counting on this advanced equipment to maintain its own advantages, as for when it can be open for sale, it is estimated that it will have to wait until the third generation of products NB-277 comes out, maybe there is hope.

In business, Ascendas Group's main business is, after all, aerospace manufacturing, not a manufacturer of special equipment, and as an industry that is prone to a high degree of monopoly, even partners may become terrible competitors in the future, which is the cruelty among aerospace manufacturers.

In line with the intention of harming others and the indispensable termination of the heart of preventing others, Zhuang Jianye naturally wants to maintain his own advantages, even if it is not as good as giants such as Loma, Boeing, and Airbus, but it is also necessary to gain its own technological advantages in small powerhouses such as Bombardier, Indonesian National Airlines, and Brazilian Aerospace.

There's no way, that's what the law of the dark forest is, if you don't want to die unexplained in the future, you have to expand your advantage.

Of course, to expand the advantage, there must be material support, it must make money, 2 billion US dollars of long-endurance drones and special equipment is part of it, and the established cooperation with Embraer Aerospace Industries is of course the bulk of the revenue of this take-off group.

A full $3.8 billion.

Among them, $2.8 billion is the production cost of important aircraft components such as the wings, central wing boxes, and four main structure nacelles of the ERJ-140 series regional airliner produced by Ascendas Group in the next two years.

The remaining $1 billion is Ascendas' latest collaboration with Embraer, a 70- to 90-seat midsize regional airliner.

The internal code name of the Ascendas Group is the TRJ-700 regional airliner project.

The official name to the outside world is the ERJ-170 series of regional airliners.

The total investment of the project is US$5.2 billion, with a 50% distribution of US$2.6 billion from Embolis and Ascendas.

As for the research and development, it is the same as the ERJ-140 series regional airliner, and the Tengfei Group leads the early model design, overall structure demonstration, and verification machine manufacturing.

Embraer is responsible for quality control, structural optimization, static testing, and validation flight tests for all parts of the aircraft.

Based on the successful experience of the ERJ-140 series regional airliner, Ascendas Group and Embraer have placed higher expectations on the TRJ-700 regional airliner project.

Regardless of the rest, the use of composite materials alone can be seen that the ambitions of the two companies are not ordinarily large, because according to the preliminary plan, the TRJ-700 regional airliner project will be increased from the previous TRJ-500 regional airliner project 8% composite materials accounted for, to 18%.

An increase of 10 percentage points is not small for a civil aircraft.

Because of this, the TRJ-700 regional airliner will be the highest flight altitude, fastest flight speed and longest range of the 35-ton regional airliner of its class.

The initial plan is to complete the design work by the end of 1997, produce the first prototype in mid-1998 and carry out ground tests, make its first flight around 2000, and strive to obtain an airworthiness certificate and be operational by 2002.

To this end, Ascendas Group and Embraer are expected to launch 3 models:

The basic version, 68 seats, take-off weight 32 tons, maximum range 2800 km.

The extended-range version, 74 seats, with a take-off weight of 35 tons, has a maximum range of 4800 km.

Lengthened, 86 seats, take-off weight 40 tons, maximum range 4800 km.

Based on these three models, various luxury upgraded business jets, government aircraft, maritime patrol aircraft, small early warning aircraft, electronic reconnaissance aircraft, and air tankers will be launched.

It can be said that the TRJ-700 regional airliner is a crucial project for the 21st century by Ascendas Group and Brazilian Aerospace, and if successful, it will not only bring unimaginable profits to both companies, but also have the potential to rewrite the world regional airliner industry pattern.

Because of this, the two companies can be said to be going all out, as can be seen from Brazil's quick $1 billion to Ascendas Group for preliminary research and development.

Paradoxically, Brazil's US$1 billion should logically be included in R&D investment, but Lin Guanghua's fax to Zhuang Jianye was marked as income.

Is Lin Guanghua mistaken?

Of course not, but because Tengfei Group has already made the follow-up model of the ERJ-140 series of regional airliners in the past few years, otherwise how could it continue to use the name TRJ-700?

To put it bluntly, it is a continuation of the original "Haidongqing" plan!

You know, according to the "Haidongqing" plan formulated by Tengfei Group that year, at the beginning of the 21st century, more than 70 regional airliners will be launched, so Tengfei Group has not been idle over the years, regardless of whether there are Brazilians or not, Tengfei Group is sticking to its own established plan.

As a result, at this time, the Brazilians said, let's take the money to do it together, such a good thing, if you don't agree, it would be a fool, after all, it feels really not too cool to use other people's money to fill up your own R & D expenses!
