Compared with the previous Fokker F100, the Fokker F150 in front of Chen Geng has changed greatly!

The original Fokker F100 is more like a product of McDonnell Douglas Group, and the T-shaped high flat tail and tail crane engine are typical features of the Fokker F100, McDonnell Dalwells DC-9 and MD-80 series, but the Fokker F150 in front of me, which is only painted with a yellow primer, has changed, and it has become completely different from the Fokker F100: it is no longer the aerodynamic layout of the previous T-shaped high flat tail and tail crane engine, but has become similar to the aerodynamic layout of the wingcrane engine and low flat tail similar to the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320.

Because of the need for a wing crane engine and the need to replace an engine with a larger bypass ratio in the future, the landing gear has been redesigned, resulting in a higher ground clearance of the Fokker F150, and the increase in ground clearance has also brought about another significant change, that is, the Fokker F100 is similar to the one on the business jet that can fall down. The F150's door is no longer folded down (it can't reach the ground), but has become a structure similar to the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 that moves to the left side, and passengers need to use the airport's bridge or ramp truck to board.

"It can be said that the F150 is no longer a derivative of the F100, but has become a new generation of aircraft that shares some fuselage components and aircraft avionics systems with the F100, but the aerodynamic layout has been redesigned," standing in front of the F150, which is about to undergo static tests, Anthony Fokker excitedly introduced to Chen Geng: "Mr. Fernandez, I think our F150 even has the qualifications to compete with the McDonnell Douglas-80 series, Boeing 737 and Airbus' A320." ”

At this moment, Anthony Falk completely forgot how many times he and Chen Geng had photographed the table when discussing the F150 before, and how he had to reluctantly accept this design plan because of Chen Geng's "obscenity".

Yes, these F150 changes were proposed by Chen Geng, and at the very beginning, they attracted fierce opposition from the top management to the engineering and technical personnel of the Falkland-United Aviation Technology Company, and in the end Chen Geng was annoyed and slapped the table directly: If you don't agree and don't follow my plan, then you didn't say it, everyone broke up and saw who was unlucky first!

As soon as Chen Geng's statement came out, Fokker suddenly coaxed: they could not accept the rescue plan proposed by the Dutch government, because once they accepted that plan, the decades-old Falkland-United Aviation Technology Company would become a vassal of the Germans, which was unacceptable to the executives and engineers of Fokker Company, including Anthony Fokker.

Since the worst option could not be accepted, agreeing to Chen Geng's request for Fokker F150 improvements in exchange for Chen Geng's invaluable development funds for Fokker became the only option for Falkland-United Aviation Technology to maintain its independent status.

It's just that nothing can escape the law of "true fragrance!", at the beginning of Chen Geng's improvement plan was extremely dissatisfied, insisted on the tail crane engine layout, but was forced to succumb to Chen Geng's improvement plan of Fokker company, but in the process of F150 research and development, gradually discovered the many benefits of the aerodynamic layout of the wing crane engine: not to mention anything else, only to say that it is too friendly to the ground crew: the ground crew is performing flight missions, When the engine is routinely inspected, the inspection work can be completed on the ground, while the tail crane engine structure of Fokker F100 and McDonnell Douglas DC-9 and McDonnell Dalwellall MD-80 series requires special ground equipment to be inspected, not to mention the trouble, but also more dangerous.

Well, it smells so good!

"Compete with Boeing and Airbus for the market?" Chen Geng looked at Anthony Fokker with a smile: "Anthony, are you sure? Are you sure you don't plan to cause disaster for your Fokker Company?"

"Uh......"

Anthony Falk's old face suddenly turned red.

Although Chen Geng's words were very polite, why did Falkland-United Aviation Technologies fall into today's field, so that it had to compromise with Chen Geng in exchange for "food that came to you"?

It's not just because Airbus, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas see the Fokker F100 as a threat to their flagship products.

McDonnell Douglas is okay, because of the need to deal with the pressure from Boeing with all his might, plus the relationship between McDonald Jr. and Chen Geng is good, they are not very good, but Airbus and Boeing have no less criticism of the F100 produced by COMAC, but the F100 produced by COMAC in a licensed way is almost completely sold in China, and Chen Geng's energy in China is even more unfathomable. Boeing and McDonnell Douglas had no choice but to arrest Falkland-United Aviation Technologies to the death.

Fortunately, Chen Geng did not mean to kill Anthony Fokk, he immediately said: "Anthony, according to the agreement we reached before, the intellectual property rights of the F150 belong to the two of us, in addition to the external technology transfer, in the internal use of this aspect, we have complete disposal rights, whether your Fokker company is ready to bring the F150 to the market, I don't care, but our COMAC Group does not have this idea for the time being within five years." ”

"Huh?"

Chen Geng's answer really made Anthony Falk stunned: "You don't plan to bring the F150 to the market in the short term?"

"That's right. ”

"Why?"

"Because the F120 is enough to meet the needs of the Chinese domestic market," Chen Geng said: "On the other hand, the F150 has just built its first prototype, and there is no time for two or three years, can you complete all the procedures for test flight certification?"

“......”

Anthony Falk suddenly made a big red face, and the whole person was dumbfounded: Yes, from the first prototype used for static tests in the modeling department to the prototype for performing test flight missions, and then to complete the certification of aviation management departments in various countries, it is indeed not possible in two to three years.

If you take three years, when the F150 completes the process of airworthiness certification, it will be the end of 1994, and if there is a slight delay, it will be 1995, so Fernández Chen said that there is no such idea in five years......

Hi!

Even if he had this idea, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do it for a while.

"It's the difficulties your company is facing now," looking at Anthony Falk, Chen Geng said: "Anthony, I heard that instead of taking the method of reducing costs and expenses, you are also preparing to expand the production line?"

"Uh...... "Yes," said Anthony Fock, "you know, the world is now looking at the 50 to 70 seat regional jet market, Bombardier Canada, Embraer are all working on this type of product, and in order to capture the market, we have to speed up the F70 program and we need to hire more people." ”

Chen Geng was speechless for a moment.

Previously, Chen Geng once believed that Fokker aircraft was based on the F100, and developed the F70 by sharing the avionics system and cockpit with the F100, replacing the low-thrust engine and shortening the fuselage, but this project was only halfway through, and the Fokker company was almost shut down by the two giants of Airbus and Boeing.

Unexpectedly, Fokker Company's obsession with F70 is so deep, and it has just borrowed some money from Chen Geng and started to restart the F70 program, which is really ......

Well?

Chen Geng suddenly had a wit: F70, is it really not good?

If the F70 doesn't work, then why are Bombardier and Embraer doing well in this market?

PS: Sorry brothers, please wait a few minutes.
