Chapter 406: Pulsation-Type 1 Production Line
Yes, Adero is very incredible, you must know that the contradiction between British Space and the actor company is the same as fire, and Evans and Owen, the core leaders of the action company, are not generous people, and the probability of shaking hands and making peace between the two is almost zero.
It is based on the above judgment that Adlon is confident and bold to sell the British Aerospace Company cleanly, because this can not only please the action company, but also hit the British aviation industry to the greatest extent.
Unexpectedly, British Aerospace not only broke up with the Operator Company, but also quickly reached a technology exchange agreement with it, which surprised Adelong and couldn't help but feel a little bad.
However, before Adlon could digest Charles's shock, a tall but thin middle-aged white man walked over quickly and greeted him warmly: "Hey, Mr. Charles, is this the French friend you are talking about?"
Adero was stunned for a moment, he didn't know the other party, but from that mouth of English with a western American accent, it gave Adelong a very uncomfortable feeling.
"Yes, Mr. McKellen, this is Charles Adelon, Executive Vice President of Dassault Systèmes and Director of Airbus Group Europe. ”
Charles took care of McKenlein, who was walking quickly, very enthusiastically, and then introduced Adellon to the other party, and then pointed to Adlon and introduced McKenlean: "This is Mr. McKenlean, the new CEO of Cessna Corporation in the United States, who has made a special trip to attend the inauguration ceremony of the latest L162 small aircraft production line of Action Company. ”
As soon as these words came out, Adelon's heart that had a bad premonition suddenly jumped, the American Cessna company, a world-famous manufacturer of small aircraft, small executive aircraft and small business jets.
If this is the case, Adro is at best vigilant, and it will never feel bad, and the reason why it is so simple is that last year, General Motors of the United States spent a huge amount of money to buy a majority of Cessna's shares, thus taking this world-famous small aircraft manufacturing company into the bag.
So although this McKenlean is under the banner of Cessna, he is actually behind him is the powerful giant of General Motors.
If that's the case, it's all about the fact that they've placed the L162 small aircraft production line in Action, proving that GM has already started a substantial cooperation with Actor.
One British Aerospace Corporation, one American General Motors, this is obviously a British and American alliance.
Aware of this, Adelon's face was very ugly, and equally ugly were the heads of other European aviation companies who were authentic one after another, after all, the sudden coming together of Britain and the United States was by no means a good thing for them.
But ugly is ugly, but the decency of the old European aristocracy is well maintained by them, and in addition to their own upbringing, the most important thing is that they are still skeptical of the statement that the actor company is a four-hour plane.
So they see the Anglo-American alliance more as a means of pressure on actor companies to raise their asking prices.
After all, for these old European aviation companies, the new foundation of the actor is too shallow, and there is no way out except to be annexed by them.
I believe that the senior management of the actor company is also aware of this, so it is very shameless to pull in Britain and the United States, just hoping to buy themselves at a good price.
In this regard, Adro and the heads of other European aviation companies are not a little depressed, but they don't have much other ideas, nothing more than more money, and because of this, they show the most basic courtesy to McEnlean.
It can even be said that they have a good conversation on some topics.
Just like that, talking and laughing all the way from the parking lot to the aircraft production plant of the Action Company, Evans and Owen were already waiting there, and when they saw their arrival, they hurriedly greeted them, and after some greetings, Evans led a group of people into the factory through the side door of the personnel entering and exiting.
The moment the heads of European aviation companies, who had been chatting with each other about their own topics, stepped into the factory with their feet, everyone seemed to have been spelled, and even the topics they were interested in were forced back by them, because all their attention was stunned by the scene in front of them.
I saw that in the huge factory, there was no fixed aircraft assembly station as they had seen in the past, but a U-shaped continuous production structure was formed around the plant.
Aircraft of different states are evenly distributed on this U-shaped assembly line, from the initial nothing, to the appearance of the fuselage contour, to the wing placement, avionics installation, landing gear hydraulic system assembly, related system testing, and finally the finished aircraft.
A huge U-shaped architecture is like an evolution of the aircraft from scratch, plate installation, wing assembly, avionics, hydraulics, and even testing, which used to require a queue to assemble the aircraft, can be carried out simultaneously and in parallel on such a simple U-shaped architecture.
It's simply ......
"Ahem~~~"
Just when Adro and other heads of European aviation companies looked at the aircraft production line of the actor company, and their eyes were about to be pulled out, Evans suddenly coughed lightly.
Everyone retracted their eyes and looked at Evans in embarrassment, and Evans pointed to the U-shaped production line in front of him very proudly: "Gentlemen, what is in front of you is the real main business of our actor company, the design of the production structure of aviation products, and what you see is the rapid production structure of the aircraft that my partner and I have developed for several years, the pulse-1 production line. ”
"Pulse?" said a Dutch business executive, frowning, seemingly puzzled by the name.
Evans nodded: "Yes, because we have divided the original aircraft assembly process into engine and landing gear installation, pipeline system installation, electrical system and tail installation according to standardized procedures, windshield tail and fairing installation, wing and door installation, flight control system installation, avionics and brake system installation, There are eight modules such as commissioning and avionics testing, each module has the same workload, it is four hours, so this production structure moves forward every four hours, just like our pulse beats, so my partner and I named it Pulse. ”
As if to verify Evans's words, the indicator lights of the eight stations along the U-shaped structure suddenly turned red, and the workers who were assembling immediately left the busy plane, and then with the dispatch of the production supervisor of the plant, the planes of each station began to move along the U-shaped structure, and soon the aircraft entered the next station, and the workers continued to assemble the newly arrived aircraft.
On the other side, the factory door opened, and a brand new L162 aircraft was pushed out of the factory.
A group of heads of European aviation companies were stunned when they saw this scene!
