"McDonnell Dalwellall miscalculated the development trend of the aviation field, and now the ETOPS clause reform has been the general trend, some time ago, I heard an old friend talk about it, McDonnell Douglas has lowered the sales expectation of the MD11 wide-body passenger aircraft from 500 to 300 aircraft, and reopened the pre-research ...... of the next generation of passenger aircraft."

Zhou Yuanhang has been independently responsible for the overall development of Gulfstream passenger aircraft, and has dealt with relevant personnel and manufacturers of various subsystems of the aircraft.

"At present, the MD11 passenger aircraft in the field of passenger transport prospects are not large, but for air cargo, the load capacity of the three-engine aircraft is more than the two-engine passenger aircraft, after the comprehensive cost sharing, the economy of the three-engine aircraft is better than the double-engine, although the MD11 project does not help McDonnell Douglas to get out of the predicament, but purely in terms of the project itself, it is not a loss-making transaction. Sun Zhuolin added.

Liang Yuan smiled, and said in his heart that if the MD11 project is placed on the head of COMAC, CMB Aerospace and even MBB, it is naturally too good to be a high-quality project, but it is terrible to put it on a behemoth like McDonnell Douglas.

Add to that the depreciation of equipment costs, stock market expectations, and the like, McDonnell Douglas is not far off from losing pants, and in order to boost shareholder confidence, the development of a new generation of airliners is also reasonable.

In the near future, more than 200 MD11 passenger aircraft were eventually sold, and the use of the aircraft was basically used for air cargo transportation in the same way as Sun Zhuolin said. FedEx, Lufthansa Cargo, Evergreen (Cargo) Airlines, Arabia Cargo, United Parcel Service, China International (Cargo) Airlines and other large transcontinental logistics companies all use the MD11 as the main model.

It was not until after the new century that Boeing completely discontinued the production of the MD11 in order to unify its brands and product specifications.

"The so-called once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, from MD82, McDonnell Douglas repeatedly misjudged the development trend of the aviation industry, a new generation of large passenger aircraft research and development McDonnell Douglas finally came up with the courage to break the kettle, far ahead of the forefront of technology......"

Liang Yuan naturally knows McDonnell Douglas's new generation of ultra-long-range large passenger aircraft MD12. It is basically to move the Airbus A380 of the 21st century to the 20th century ahead of schedule. Compared to the Boeing 747, which was cut off halfway, the MD12 is a real giant double-decker wide-body airliner.

The number of passengers carrying 430 people in the early stage of the MD12 model is nothing more than a compromise with the insufficient thrust of the current large civil aero engine, and the number of passengers carrying 500-600 people in the later development type is the true face of the MD12 passenger aircraft.

McDonnell Douglas, who has been wandering in the big pit of tail hanging for a long time, has finally changed his ways. MD12 resolutely threw himself into the arms of the wing crane. and even with the attitude that overkill must be overdone. McDonnell Douglas vowed to reduce the engines of giant airliners like the A380 from four to two, in order to send the likes of the Boeing 747 to the dustbin of history.

Since the year before last, McDonnell Douglas has been in frequent contact with three aviation power manufacturers: Rolls-Royce, GE and Pratt & Whitney. Trying to promote the three aviation development companies to invest funds to come up with high-thrust and high-bypass civil engines that meet the requirements of MD12 as soon as possible, but only Rolls-Royce's attitude is more positive, GE has many concerns, Pratt & Whitney replied to an official letter that we are carefully considering, but even the preliminary research team has not been established. Zhou Yuanhang said with a little schadenfreude.

Before the rise of Grumman's F14 fighter and A6 attack aircraft, the darling of the U.S. Navy's flight deck was the ghost fighter produced by MacDonald.

While they were talking, the door opened, and two girls walked in from outside with trays.

"I want to complain, it cost tens of thousands of dollars, and I actually want Jiajia to make a guest appearance as a flight attendant. Liang Yuan stared at him and put on an upstart face.

"What nonsense. Ning Wanjia glanced at Liang Yuan coquettishly.

On the tray in Ning Wanjia's hand, there are two blue-white porcelain cups, both of which are covered with a thick layer of milky white foam, and a red milky liquid on the foam that Liang Yuan can't see the material of, outlining a delicate Chinese knot with delicate line segments, which looks like Ning Wanjia's masterpiece just at the bar outside.

"Jiajia's craftsmanship is getting better and better. Liang Haiping said with emotion.

"Uncle, it's useless for you to praise your sister, this cup is yours. Ning Wanfei took out a cup of coffee from her tray and handed it to Liang Haiping with a smile.

Except for Liang Yuan's two cups, the rest of the coffee was all caused by Ning Wanjia's cartoon plane with milk outlining a big head at the mouth of the cup.

"Drink some, and I'll be satisfied. Sun Zhuolin took the coffee with a smile.

Since the completion of the technology of brewing coffee, Ning Wanjia has been used to being teased by everyone in the past two years, except for the fact that there is more water in her eyes, it is the same as usual.

"Is this delicious, I just asked the flight attendant, Northwest Airlines' Asia-Pacific route only has coffee beans from Sumatra, not the Blue Mountains. Seeing Liang Yuan gulp and drink half of it, Ning Wanjia asked softly.

For Asians, most of them like sweet coffee, of course, this hobby is mainly in China, Japan, South Korea and East Asia, for the Confucian cultural circle, bitter drinks can be tea, and the choice of coffee flavor is naturally different from the mainstream of Europe and the United States.

In the coffee world, the Blue Mountains have long been the epitome of sweetness, while Sumatra coffee is known for its mellow bitterness that foodies with explosive taste buds call the earthy aroma.

However, Ning Wanjia has always preferred to make coffee, and this kind of coffee with earthy aroma has extremely high requirements for the level of the preparer in the brewing coffee, otherwise it will become a coffee zombie if you are not careful, and in layman's terms, the taste changes from the fragrance of the earth to the earth.

It's a pity that for a turtle like Liang Yuan, whose taste buds won't explode, whether it's the soil or the fragrance of the earth, it's all a cow chewing a peony.

"Jiajia's new product is delicious. ”

I've been talking for a long time, and I'm about thirsty. Liang Tu took another sip, and the blue-white coffee cup was already half empty.

Ning Wanfei had already divided the coffee from the others, looked at Liang Yuan's half-empty cup, thinking that the flight attendant had just seen Ning Wanjia use red pomegranate juice to outline two delicate Chinese knots, and sighed with her finger against her forehead.

"Look at the appearance of that pig's head, my sister's talent is eighty percent blind. Ning Wanfei thought helplessly.

"Except for JAL's first class, other airlines will probably not offer Blue Mountains in first class. "Liang Yuan and Ning Wanjia are selling the knowledge of their previous lives.

Before the rise of the Japanese economy, the sweet taste of Blue Mountain coffee has never been liked by Europe and the United States, and in the 70s and 80s, the Japanese economy was booming, and the rich Japanese and later generations of Chinese tyrants waved money to change the world.

About 90% of Blue Mountain coffee production is shipped to Japan. It can be said that there is no preference of the Japanese. Even in the new century, Blue Mountain coffee is still unknown, and like Blue Mountain, it has benefited from the explosion of the Japanese economy and LV, which has been worshiped by many women in later generations.

In the 80s, European and American media people once said sourly that 100% of the people who carried two cameras on their backs when they entered the country and happily carried LV on their backs when they left the country were Japanese.

The first half of this sentence is to complain about the world's top imaging industry in Japan at that time. The second half is a satire on the Japanese turtle. After all, LV at that time was just an ordinary first-line brand in Europe and the United States. It has nothing to do with luxury or anything.

Among the images left by Hollywood's top actresses in the 60s, Gucci is the most photographed handbag brand.

For example, leather goods, clothing, accessories, and jewelry, which occupy a large proportion of luxury goods, were all established in the 80s and 90s. Prior to this, in the sixties and seventies, LV was nothing more than a manufacturer of canvas, striped, large and oversized migrant workers' bags, or even trolley cases.

Someone often foraged in various night clubs in his previous life, although his taste buds will not explode if he is not talented, but he is very familiar with the ways of pretending to be 13 and counter-dressing 13 in white-collar circles and foreign-funded circles, and he is also familiar with the black history of many luxury brands and luxury brands at that time.

"Xiaoyuan should still like the Blue Mountains, and I will bring some coffee beans from the Blue Mountains for long trips in the future. As a staunch sweet party, Ning Wanjia directly defined Liang Yuan's favorite taste.

"Silly girl, except for the super first class of 60,000 US dollars, how can there be a coffee machine for you in other cabins. Liang Yuan chuckled and patted the girl's little hand beside him.

"After getting off the plane, most of us are going to see the air show, how do we deal with McDonnell Douglas Yue Kunbo?" asked Zhou Yuanhang with coffee.

"Well, the muddier the water, the better, anyway, the European side has become a muddy water, no matter how much it is, it's not bad for McDonnell Douglas. Liang Yuan said with a smile.

Representatives of the British government, SCHOTT, MBB, COMAC, and Bombardier are talking about the future of SCHOTT Brothers.

Bombardier is a pure Canadian enterprise, Canada as a veteran colony of the British Empire, Bombardier has deep connections in British politics and business, if it were not for the British people who have the abacus of attracting COMAC and MBB to form a copycat version of Airbus, Bombardier would have already included Schott under its umbrella.

After several rounds of negotiations, COMAC and MBB threw out a bait, MBB said that if the British government can increase the capital injection into SCHOTT, then after the CM100 passenger aircraft is officially put into operation, a second CM100 passenger aircraft production line will be established in SCHOTT instead of China.

However, the premise of the construction of the CM100 passenger aircraft production line is that the parent company of SCHOTT will be replaced by MBB to CMB Aerospace, and the British government can split and divest SCHOTT's military-related technology and equipment in advance if it has doubts.

The main reason why Liang Yuan is like this is that he has doubts about the technical level of the aviation industry in the Federal Republic of Germany.

As stated in the CM100 passenger aircraft development plan, once the CM100 passenger aircraft rolls off the assembly line, in addition to the need for avionics and engines to keep pace with the times and continue to upgrade, the main architecture of the passenger aircraft will not be outdated even if it is placed in 2020 to compete with the 737 MAX.

Pulling the British into the water is also to strengthen the technical strength of CMB Aerospace, the strength of the British in the aviation industry in the eighties is undoubted, of course, if McDonnell Douglas can also be pitted into it, the CM100 passenger aircraft will be completed on time There is no problem. (To be continued......)
