Chapter 880: Let Me Count...... $3.6 billion

Others were incredulous, but Edoo, Crildo and other experts from the Brazilian Aeronautics and Space Agency understood that the biggest gain from their trip to China may be the JSNB-II integrated analysis system for aviation and space.

Although this system is incomprehensible to Park Myung-cheol, Badia and others, in the eyes of Edoo and Creldo, this system is a rare treasure, and even the only world-class advanced production tool they have access to in the field of Brazilian aviation and aerospace.

Because this kind of digital production tools that apply virtual manufacturing technology have been applied in the hands of industry giants in Europe and the United States.

The most typical is Boeing, which developed the Boeing 777 airliner using Boeing's self-developed virtual manufacturing technology, so that the development cycle that originally took 6 to 8 years to complete took only more than 3 years.

The project began in October 1990, was formally developed in February 1991, and the engineering prototype was rolled off the assembly line for ground testing in 1993, and officially made its first flight in June this year, and the first batch of mass-produced models is expected to be put into operation by the end of next year.

At that time, it will be possible to follow the various fancy frictions of the head of the Airbus A340, which has not been in operation for a long time.

Because the cost of the Boeing 777 is lower than that of the A340 when the range and load are comparable.

This is not only the dual engine used by the Boeing 777, which has more advantages than the four engines of the A340, nor is it that the general engine of the Boeing 777 is more powerful and much stronger than the five-engine AUP of the A340, but because the Boeing 777 only has a three-year research and development cycle, which makes the manufacturing cost of this model so low that Airbus makes all kinds of crying and fainting in the toilet.

Airbus is also helpless in this regard, although the A340 research and development process announced to the public is only 5 years, but the early demonstration work has taken Airbus more than 4 years, and in the research and development process, the concept of parallel development with A330 is also adopted, and a lot of mature A320 technology is borrowed to shorten the research and development cycle as much as possible.

Hurry up and think about taking advantage of the expected recession of the Boeing 767 market and the outdated technology of other models to seize a part of the market, who would have thought that as soon as their A330 and A340 peerless double pride debuted, Boeing will shoot the Boeing 777 with a thunderous momentum.

The speed is simply appalling.

Not to mention anything else, even if you design and produce a car, it will take about 5 years to repeatedly develop it, but Boeing has achieved a more powerful efficiency on the 777 than the development of a car, you must know that it is an airplane, or an intercontinental long-range passenger aircraft with a take-off weight of more than 100 tons, carrying hundreds of passengers, and flying more than 10,000 kilometers.

There are tens of millions of parts alone, and the fact that the design can circle the earth several times when you roll out the design drawings can only show that Boeing is really very strong.

However, Boeing's surprise to the outside world only smiled slightly, if it were not for the lack of confidence in the virtual manufacturing technology it developed, and temporarily made several verification models for half a year's comparative experiments, the entire Boeing 777 development process would have been compressed to about 2 years.

Because the virtual manufacturing used by Boeing completely overturns the concept of parallel manufacturing and agile manufacturing proposed in the 80s, integrating Boeing's internal powerful industrial software and computer architecture into a purely digital virtual factory.

From design to development to tooling and technology, all parts and components from tens of tons of structural components to small screws the size of fingernails can be repeatedly verified in this virtual factory, so as to get the best solution, and then these solutions are formed into CNC programs, which can be entered into CNC machines in the workshop to continuously produce products that meet the requirements according to the design ideas.

The whole process did not have a single design drawing, it was completely five large-scale computers provided by IBM, plus more than 2,000 computer terminals, and more than 5,000 senior designers with lines of data code to spell out the complete aircraft architecture, which is why the Boeing 777 is also known as a paperless airplane.

In fact, in addition to Boeing, Loma has also applied this virtual manufacturing technology to the development of a new generation of stealth fighters, the F-22, and Norge has also used a similar system to produce the B-2 stealth bomber.

Not only that, this virtual manufacturing technology is being applied by more American industrial giants in a variety of high-end manufacturing fields such as aircraft carriers, destroyers, aero engines, and launch vehicles, thus making the United States once again proud of the world in terms of industry after the Cold War and becoming a veritable high-end factory in the world.

Europe is a big gap in this regard, Airbus is a typical example, although Dassault's software is good enough, but it cannot reach the role of the pure digital virtual factory in the United States, but relying on the special relationship between the United States and Europe, Europe can still introduce some virtual manufacturing technology from the United States, combined with its own software to build a semi-virtual manufacturing factory, which can be regarded as improving its own efficiency.

As for Russia, which inherited the Soviet legacy...... Well, the fighting nation is still hungry, so there is still time to take care of this, and if you are outdated, you will be outdated.

But whether it is the United States with a full set of technology, or Europe with only half a set of technology, or Russia with only concepts and partial algorithms, one by one they all regard virtual manufacturing technology as a treasure, and outsiders can look at it and want to buy it? I'm sorry, how much money is not sold!

The reason why Bombardier was able to launch the CRJ-200 first and seize the market was because Bombardier's technical capabilities were so strong?

No, but because they hugged their thighs, Loma in the United States and Airbus in Europe, these two giants with virtual manufacturing technology to help Bombardier design and development, it is difficult to think about the progress of CRJ-200 quickly.

Brazilian Aerospace Industries also wanted to be fast, but the problem was that the good thighs were taken up by Bombardier, and the remaining Boeing and Nog looked at Embraer one by one like a stripped girl, and they couldn't wait to pounce on it immediately to eat it and wipe it clean.

Scared, Embraer Aerospace Industries slipped through the back door and ran around the world to see if it could touch a dead mouse and find an alternative to protect itself.

As a result, this turn, the blind cat in Brazil really met the dead mouse.

JSNB-II. Aviation and Aerospace Integrated Analysis System, which also applies virtual manufacturing technology, has no place to find and no effort to get it, so how can Brazilians let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

It is important to know that the most important thing for Brazil's ERJ-140 series regional airliner is time, and the JSNB-II aviation and aerospace integrated analysis system is undoubtedly a multiplier to shorten the development time and improve efficiency.

Therefore, both Edoo and Crildo are interested in the JSNB-II comprehensive analysis system for aviation and aerospace.

The problem is that Edoo, Crildo and others are impatient, but Zhuang Jianye is stable, looked at the two Brazilian aerospace experts who seemed to be talking about double reeds, and raised his hand: "Two, two, I understand your sincerity, let's stop first, stop and stop, in this way, I say the number, if it is successful, we will decide, 3.6 billion US dollars...... Two sets of simplified versions, affordable enough!"
