Chapter 1151: Ambition and Reality!
After visiting this assembly workshop, Vladimir also went to another Y400 assembly workshop nearby with Yang Jie.
There are obviously a lot fewer technicians in the production line of the assembly workshop of the Y400 large transport aircraft, and you can also see a group of engineers sent from the Ilyushin Aviation Group Company, all of whom are engineers in their forties and fifties.
Because it was the first time for Zhonghua Fokker to manufacture such a large transport aircraft, it was much easier to have a group of engineers who had participated in the manufacture of the An-124 transport aircraft to guide and assist on the side.
In order to manufacture this transport aircraft, Zhonghua Fokker Company has developed a complete set of molds and special processing equipment from beginning to end with the help of Huaxing Technology Group and a large number of domestic enterprises, and billions of funds have been invested in these alone.
In recent years, there are thousands of enterprises in China that have cooperated with China Fokker Company, all of which have long-term cooperation, and they have grown up with China Fokker Company over the years.
It is also that there is such a large number of cooperative enterprises in China to undertake a large part of the development and trial production of parts, and participated in the process of digital prototype development, and China Fokker has long established a supply chain management system with these suppliers, and the management communication is very smooth, so the progress of this transport aircraft is very fast.
President Vladimir also boarded the prototype, which had rolled off the assembly line, with great interest, and took a closer look.
This Y400 transport aircraft uses a large number of new materials and new technologies and equipment, and its advanced degree is naturally not the same as that of Damao's current An-124.
Because this Y400 is also equipped with the same engine as the F200, such a high-power engine makes this transport aircraft have sufficient thrust while fuel consumption is very low, and the cost of use is lower than that of the 747 cargo aircraft, mainly because the four engines are all new engines, and the power and fuel consumption have reached a very high level.
The An-124 engine in service is at least 40 percent higher than the fuel consumption of the same type of engine in Eagle Sauce, which also causes the flight cost to be very high.
This market segment is now basically rounded up by the An-124 transport aircraft operating companies held by Da Mao and Ermao, and the profits are very high.
But Yang Jie's idea is naturally to use this large transport aircraft to compete with Airbus and Boeing's all-cargo aircraft to compete for the market.
In order not to affect the loading of goods, the stairs originally used for the crew to go up and down have been changed to boarding ladders that can be folded and folded, and a lot of thought has been put into the cargo handling equipment and space utilization of the civilian version of the aircraft.
In particular, Fokker has designed special equipment for the transport of lithography and etching machines.
These special equipment has high value, and has high requirements for preservation and transportation, in order to avoid affecting the accuracy of the equipment, there are also extremely high requirements for stability in transportation, before Ruixing Technology Company exported these special equipment is basically by sea, but there are several things in the middle.
At present, Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. is now exporting a variety of products and equipment every year is getting larger and larger, many of which are borne by their own shipping companies, but sometimes the response to market changes is a little lagging behind.
Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. takes air transportation, and the space of some models cannot meet the needs, and some special needs, Dnieper Airlines, which has been undertaking transportation tasks, are not very professional.
The China Fokker Company has also made changes to the Y400 transport aircraft for the needs of Huaxing Technology Group Company itself.
At this time, President Vladimir saw that Zhonghua Fokker Company had designed several models on this transport aircraft platform, and he also felt that the entire Huaxing Technology Group's grasp of the civilian market had really reached a very high level.
"Mr. Yang, it seems that you are still very confident in the air cargo market!"
President Vladimir said.
Yang Jie smiled and said: "Now our domestic e-commerce has seen explosive growth, which has greatly driven the demand of the domestic air cargo market, according to our statistics, in the past few years, the proportion of e-commerce sales in retail sales has continued to increase, and will continue to increase in the future, so our domestic demand for full cargo aircraft is very large, conservative estimates of the demand for full cargo aircraft will increase to 200 in five years, and our Y400 full cargo aircraft sales must grab a large market share." ”
“……”
President Vladimir was speechless when he heard this, Huaxing Technology Group is very successful in business operations, very good at seizing business opportunities, and has a strong ability to act, and many aspects are worthy of learning from his own domestic state-owned companies.
At this time, he also felt that his decision to cooperate with Huaxing Technology Group Company was a very smart decision.
He believes that these two projects will be able to operate very well if they are handed over to Huaxing Science and Technology Group Company, which will not only revitalize their domestic technological intellectual property rights, but also bring great benefits to their domestic military aviation industry.
He also understands that it will take at least one or two decades for his country to establish a complete aviation industry chain like Rabbit China, and it is a very pragmatic and reasonable way for several domestic aviation group companies to be able to cooperate with Rabbit domestic airlines at this stage.
A few years ago, President Vladimir kicked off the restructuring of his domestic aviation industry, which is only now complete.
However, Damao's aviation industry has experienced more than 10 years of catastrophe, has been destroyed to the point that it is not what it looks like, and now it is basically in a state of eating the old capital, and it will take at least more than ten years to recover, which depends on the domestic economic situation of Damao.
At present, Damao's R&D investment in the whole country is only 30 billion US dollars, and the funds invested in the entire aviation industry are only billions of US dollars, and the money allocated to the following R&D institutions and companies is even less.
Now it is good that Da Mao's domestic military-industrial complex can maintain the status quo, and it is impossible to return to the peak state of the Soviet repair era, because from the current stage, Da Mao no longer has the conditions to become a superpower, and without President Vladimir, Da Mao may even fall into an even more miserable situation.
