Chapter 1157 Autonomous Flight Control System!
Yang Jie did not shy away from saying that the safety of the original Bombardier turboprop passenger aircraft was not very good.
The Q400 turboprop airliner was officially put into operation by Bombardier in 2000, and it sold the best, but of course it caused a lot of trouble for Bombardier.
The landing gear developed by the airliner was flawed, and after seven years of service, this problem was exposed, and there were several accidents due to landing gear failures.
Bombardier and landing gear manufacturers have lost a lot of money, and Bombardier has urgently advised the world's airlines to temporarily suspend some of its Q400 aircraft, and most of the grounded aircraft will only resume operation after inspections.
Another serious air crash this year has undoubtedly cast a shadow on this airliner again.
Since Centec Aviation Technology has taken over the turboprop airliner business of Bombardier Group, it is natural that such a matter should be investigated in detail.
Now the foreign media is also using this incident to attack Centec Aviation Technology Company in a big way, which is naturally indispensable for Boeing and several other competitors to fan the flames behind the scenes.
However, Yang Jie did not care much about these, but let the company dispatch a lot of technical personnel with instruments and equipment to begin a comprehensive inspection of all the vulnerable parts of the passenger aircraft, and now the inspection work is still continuing, but it is also found that there are several passenger aircraft landing gear hidden dangers, and now these passenger aircraft with hidden dangers are also overhauled, and the losses caused by Shengke Aviation Technology Company are also compensated by the landing gear manufacturer.
Yang Jie's attitude is also there, if the landing gear manufacturer can't solve the quality hazards, Centec Aviation Technology will not cooperate with this manufacturer in the future.
The landing gear manufacturer, which is mainly the original equipment manufacturer of all types of Boeing aircraft landing gear, is naturally very strong in terms of technical strength, but the landing gear designed and developed by this company for the Bombardier group of companies obviously has design flaws.
There is not only one company in the world that can design and develop landing gear, and China Fokker can also design, develop and manufacture landing gear itself, and it can still operate without this landing gear manufacturer, Shengke Aviation Technology Company.
Therefore, Centec Aviation Technology also asked the landing gear manufacturer from Eagle Sauce to solve this design flaw as soon as possible.
At the same time, Centec Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. has also initiated the development of a new X-series electric propulsion turboprop-based model, and the unified design standards will also use many new technologies of Zhonghua Fokker.
Yang Jie's establishment of Centec Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. is a business supplement to China Fokker Company, and Yang Jie does not want the two companies to have too much business overlap and technology sharing.
"Through the investigation of this air crash, we also found that the benchmark of the world's turboprop regional airliner such as Q400 still adopts a relatively heavy and backward mechanical control, and its fuselage structure design and aerodynamic design level are not too high, and the ability to fly such an aircraft in some very harsh conditions is still not enough, so the next step is to develop a turboprop airliner equipped with a fly-by-wire flight control system, and the aerodynamic shape design also needs to be re-optimized. ”
Yang Jie opened his mouth and said.
Although the performance of turboprop regional airliners such as Q400 is excellent, its development year was in the 90s of the last century, and many technologies are already backward now.
In particular, the mechanical flight control system on this airliner has high requirements for the pilot's piloting level in the ability to cope with complex weather, although this system can greatly reduce the cost of the airliner, but not all airlines in the pilot's piloting level are so high, especially in some bad weather pilots are highly nervous, and the probability of wrong actions has increased significantly.
As a technology freak, Yang Jie naturally asked Centec Aviation Technology to develop the world's first turboprop airliner with a fly-by-wire flight control system, and to optimize the aerodynamic shape to improve safety and reduce fuel consumption.
Yang Jie hopes to introduce the automatic flight control system into the new turboprop airliner, reduce the difficulty of pilot operation and improve ride comfort, and be equipped with a complete instrument landing system, which can at least meet the automatic approach standard of 200 meters in the 3a that requires a visual range of 200 meters.
In fact, Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. has been able to achieve autonomous landing of UAVs on airports where you can't see your fingers in automatic approach products, but it needs the assistance of detection heads, including infrared equipment.
Moreover, the technical department of the autonomous flight control system has also developed the high-precision attitude automatic compensation technology of the UAV in various windy weather conditions, and has also done a lot of experiments in the wind tunnel, and the accuracy of this highly autonomous flight control system is getting higher and higher.
Although Huaxing Technology Group will not use these product technologies now, the relevant research and development has gone far ahead.
The next day, Yang Jie also held a meeting at China Fokker and the heads of the company's senior management and technical departments.
At the meeting, Selder R&F Breg also proposed to Yang Jie the idea of poaching Lei Yi, the ace of Airbus aircraft sales.
Yang Jie also shook his head: "There is no need for this, our marketing team is still more familiar with our own aircraft products, and we still focus on team operations, and we don't need to rely on an ace salesman to fight alone." ”
He continued: "People like Lei Yi are the trump card in the hands of Airbus, although we lack salespeople like this on our side, but we still have to learn the routines of this sales master." ”
Yang Jie looked at Selder Rfregg at this time and said, "Selde, since you are so interested in this Lei Yi, you obviously have studied him a lot, you might as well talk about what tricks he has in marketing." ”
"Boss, according to my understanding, every time Lei Yi is close to the transaction, he will definitely be held in the conference room of Airbus headquarters, which will also give him a home advantage. ”
"Before Lei Yi, Airbus' sales directors showed their high-tech aircraft to customers, always used projectors, projected photos one by one, and then explained to customers slowly. However, as soon as Lei Yi took office, he immediately threw this set into the trash, and invited famous directors to shoot promotional videos for Airbus for millions of euros, and he shot as cool as he could. ”
Selder R&F Breg smiled: "This boss's approach is very similar to this Lei Yi, they both like to use high-tech means to display high-tech products. ”
Yang Jie smiled: "This trick is not a new trick, let's talk about what other tricks this Lei Yi has." ”
