Chapter 1159: Death!
Since the late 90s, Boeing's management replaced these financial capital operation elites from Wall Street to take charge, abandoning the technology-based route, no longer to build some new aircraft ahead of the industry, but to create a stable stock price, focus on profits, began to think about reducing costs, reducing research and development, improving gross profit margins, financial data has become the most important goal.
Even these top executives are very nervous, saying that Boeing is an assembly company, or equipment integrator.
The transfer of the industrial chain has indeed made Boeing's financial report look good, but at the same time, it has also laid the groundwork for Boeing to lose the company's future.
Today's Boeing is experiencing delivery delays, technology spillovers, profit outflows, unmanageable quality, and talent gaps.
Aircraft manufacturers sell airplanes, and it takes at least one or two years for this product to come out from the concept to the technical drawings, which is already fast, but as a result, Boeing came up with technical drawings in a few months, which is completely contrary to the law of development.
If there is no problem with the aircraft products that are rushed out in such a hurry, then there is a ghost.
Yang Jie is quite disdainful of Boeing's practice of making deaths, and since Boeing's high-level personnel want to die themselves, he will naturally not stop them.
It is impossible to overemphasize the safety of this kind of product, because if there is a major security vulnerability in this product, it is catastrophic, and in a short period of time, an international giant company can be knocked to the ground.
Regarding Boeing's current approach, Yang Jie also said: "It is their business for these senior managers of Boeing to seek their own death, and such a thing must not be allowed to happen within our company." By doing so, they are destroying the foundation that Boeing has built up over the years, and if they do so, it is only a matter of time before the product fails, and in the event of a major catastrophic accident, Boeing's hard-earned credibility will soon collapse, and a large company will be finished. ”
Bai Yonghui said at this time: "Yes, it is very difficult to establish public trust, but this trust is very easy to lose, and once it is lost, it is very difficult to recover, especially when the products we provide are aircraft, and the credibility is even more valuable." ”
"Don't mention this topic," Yang Jie waved his hand, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, "Or let's talk about the control system software on our company's aircraft, and how about the promotion of our own programming language and compiler?"
Bai Yonghui said: "Yang Shao, now the Fokker headquarters and Zhonghua Fokker have replaced the programming language and compiler developed by ourselves, and the efficiency is much higher than the previous Ada language and general compiler, but some universities and enterprises that cooperate with us use the programming language and compiler we develop to promote the progress is much slower, and it is estimated that it will take a few years to achieve the best results, after all, it will take a while to master such a programming language." ”
The avionics products on the aircraft are embedded processors, and the flight control system is also a real-time system, and the software of these systems was basically written in Ada language before, and Fokker's previous products also used this programming language.
The Ada language was first designed for embedded and real-time systems, belonging to the programming language of the 80s, and is also a specialized computer language for the Eagle Sauce military.
This language is very old now, it is not very efficient to write programs, and there are not many programmers who are proficient in this programming language.
Because aviation software has high security and reliability requirements, every requirement needs to be traced back to the corresponding line of code. Vice versa. This means that every change in the code must be traceable back to the software's design documentation.
Because the compiler may also have vulnerabilities, in order to ensure that the source code is completely consistent with the compiled object code and avoid problems caused by compiler vulnerabilities, Fokker's previous flight control system also used a special compiler.
However, after Fokker was acquired by Yang Jie, in order to ensure the reliability of the internal software of the project, Fokker also replaced the programming language and compiler developed internally by Huaxing Technology Group Company.
The main reason for this is that the products launched by Zhonghua Fokker Company use a large number of microprocessors developed by Huaxing Technology Group Company, the instruction set is different, and the compiler used is not the same as the ordinary compiler in order to ensure reliability.
The foundation of Huaxing Technology Group is processor technology, because the instruction set is different from other processors, so it also determines that Huaxing Technology Group must have its own compiler and programming language.
A long time ago, Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. used its own programming language and compiler in many internal production systems, and it is constantly evolving, and after open source, a large number of domestic universities and enterprises are developing on it, so it has also cultivated a large number of programming talents proficient in this programming language.
In the past, Boeing and Airbus used Ada, a very closed programming language and a dedicated compiler, to complete software development, which also caused the number of programmers proficient in this language to be not very large.
Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. takes the initiative to open source the programming language and compiler developed by itself, and domestic enterprises can make money by developing software for Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd., which is not practical, and domestic universities and a large number of enterprises use it independently.
Over the years, there have been at least millions of programmers in China who have mastered this programming language, which is extremely large.
Moreover, because the two major domestic aviation group companies cooperate very closely with Huaxing Technology Group Company, they naturally use this programming language, so the number of talents who master this programming language in the aviation field is also very large.
After this kind of talent scale comes up, this can be said to be a great boost for China Fokker Company.
At present, the software on the F200 and Y400 models developed by Zhonghua Fokker is all completed in its own programming language, and all the key software is developed independently, because this programming language has high writing efficiency, but it greatly reduces the development cost.
Because this programming language is not only efficient, but also easy to use, these are also polished by Huaxing Technology Group in a large number of production system development experience, and the developed compiler and this programming language with the words of the software written are extremely reliable.
Yang Jie is still very satisfied that his company can do this now.
