Looking at the hidden smile on the corner of Liang Yuan's mouth, Sun Zhuolin thought that Liang Yuan completely understood the meaning of McDonnell Dool's initiative to come to the door, and continued with a chuckle: "The so-called fairy fight, the little ghost suffers, in the early eighties, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas fought in full swing, and in the global aviation industry, they used their own means to combine vertical and horizontal, and even the republic that had not been reopened for a long time was almost unlucky. {3.”

"How do you say that?" "When he rarely heard the ancient gossip of large-scale companies such as Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, Liang Yuan was naturally curious.

That would be just in time for the republic-produced MD82 airliner to apply for the FAA airworthiness license, and as McDonnell Douglas's long-time rival, Boeing naturally knows McDonnell Douglas very well ...... mind. Sun Zhuolin has served in Boeing's senior management for many years, and he knows all kinds of insider information about Boeing at his fingertips.

At that time, Boeing spread rumors in the American public opinion circles, saying that McDonnell Douglas's production line was transferred to China and the cost reduction trip was a complete failure, and the radar fairing, passenger plane tailgate and other parts made for McDonnell Douglas by the Wusong factory of the Republic were all lost in the discarded parts warehouse in Long Beach.

Since China can't even make qualified parts, Boeing's implication is that the MD82 passenger plane submitted for review is of American origin at all, and McDonnell Douglas colluded with China to counterfeit it for the sake of stock market interests.

After all, once McDonnell Douglas's cost reduction plan showed the light of day, it would definitely be a huge positive news for McDonnell Donnell Douglas, which was weak at the time, and it was unknown whether McDonnell Dalwells would turn around.

"Boeing's cooperation with the Republic of China Xifei failed, of course, we do not want McDonnell Douglas to be able to take advantage of the Chinese market, as long as the products produced in China cannot pass the GuòFAA certification, McDonnell Douglas's ten-year plan will naturally be in vain. In order to crack down on McDonnell Douglas, Boeing used its influence to reset the FAA's airworthiness certification, and in the end, it was Yue Kunbo, then president of McDonnell Douglas China, and a senior White House adviser to the White House who walked the door to President Reagan, so that the Chinese-made MD82 was able to successfully pass the airworthiness certification of the GAA. ”

"Da Shao, this time McDonnell Douglas took the initiative to contact us, and the McDonnell Dalwells representative who came to the door was Yue Kunbo. ”

Before Liang Yuan could answer, Liang Haiping suddenly asked, "Mr. Sun, do you think this Yue Kunbo can dig up Shang Fei?"

"Haiping has a really keen eye, since the seventies. Yue Kunbo has been working in Asia for a long time. Not to mention that he is well aware of all the operating airlines in Asia, McDonnell Douglas in the Republic of China is also a joint effort by this person, if we can really say that he can work in COMAC, whether it is domestic or foreign will be a great help for us. Sun Zhuolin nodded and said.

"Dashao should know. Although it has been nearly ten years since the domestic reopening. However, due to the impact of the Cold War for many years, many fields still pay attention to politics. There are many stumbling blocks in foreign contacts, especially high-end large-scale international cooperation projects such as passenger aircraft, and the cooperation between McDonnell Douglas and the Republic of China is not fully coordinated by Yue Kunbo in the middle of the period. Whether it can be developed to the point where it is today is still uncertain. ”

"Listening to Lao Sun say this, this person is still nostalgic, as long as the hoe is good, this corner is worth shaving. Liang Yuan said with a smile.

In the 80s, most of the overseas Chinese could be divided into two categories: neutrality and hatred, and those who really had a friendly attitude went back to build New China decades ago, and even if they missed it at that time, it was only a minority.

Although Yue Kunbo's actions were a win-win situation based on McDonnell Douglas's position, he was already very good among overseas Chinese at that time, and in later generations, even classmates like Li could be regarded as patriotic, and Yue Kunbo could be called an example.

CMB Aerospace can now be called a Federal Republic of Germany's enterprise, and with us as a buffer in the middle, McDonnell Douglas can make a similar kind of mention to the past, as long as he can seduce the Germans successfully, he doesn't have to consider Britain and France stirring up trouble in it. Liang Yuan said with a deep groan.

"CMB Aerospace we invested 600 million US dollars, MBB invested 600 million US dollars, the Federal Republic of Germany government loan at least 600 million, MBB and the British SCHOTT talks are in full swing, once MBB acquires SCHOTT successfully, the British government will inject at least 600 million US dollars into SCHOTT Aviation, so that MBB can affect the control of at least 2.4 billion US dollars in a short period of time. Liang Yuan gently tapped the sand handrail beside him with his fingers.

"If you squeeze the British and German governments again, it is not difficult to raise three billion US dollars, and there are not many rich people in the hands of the global aviation industry at any time to come up with such an amount, no wonder Lao Zhou said that we are McDonnell Douglas's lifesaver. ”

"Da Shao really got through a little bit. Zhou Yuanhang stretched out his thumb and shook it.

"Some time ago, the article in the "International Aviation Industry", McDonnell Douglas's new MD11 three-wide-body passenger aircraft after the flight troubles, although it will not affect the date of delivery, but McDonnell Douglas is currently dispensing with 1,000 km/seat fuel consumption is not optimistic, Boeing is promoting the reform of ETOPS terms, in order to make the dual-structure large passenger aircraft qualified to fly across the ocean. ”

While McDonnell Douglas is doing everything in his power to stop this, it will be extremely bad ......news for MD11 as the technology of aviation motivation advances and the major airlines push for ETOPS' terms to be implemented by next year at the latest. Seeing that Liang Haiping was still a little confused, Zhou Yuanhang carefully explained the true intention of McDonnell Douglas's visit.

ETOPS stands for Dual-Powered Aircraft Extended Range Operation, which refers to the flight of the aircraft from any point on the route to the appropriate alternate airport for more than 6o minutes or 18o minutes.

When determining the route, assuming that the aircraft flies safely for 6o minutes at the cruising power when working on one engine under standard conditions, it means that the aircraft has passed the verification of etops6o, in other words, the flight distance from the nearest alternate airport at any point on the route operated by this type of aircraft cannot exceed 6o minutes.

In actual flight, the stronger the ETOPS' capabilities, the more routes the aircraft can adapt to, after all, due to geographical conditions, there are very few airports that the aircraft can use for alternate landings when flying across oceans.

In foreign countries, etops are also jokingly called "enginesturnpas color ngerim" in the aviation industry, that is: the motive must turn, otherwise the passenger will have to swim.

The purpose of the establishment of the ETOPS clause is to protect the safety of air passengers, and before the exhibition of aviation motivation technology, most of the transoceanic flights were carried out by four-passenger aircraft, in addition to the reason that the aviation engine thrust was limited at that time, the advantage of safety backup was also an important factor.

With the progress of technology and the higher and higher economic requirements of airlines, the large passenger aircraft flying across the ocean has slowly changed from four to three, although McDonnell Douglas is far smarter than the Germans in the design of long-range large passenger aircraft, and did not drill into the big hole of four, but McDonnell Douglas still miscalculated the degree of progress in aviation motor technology, and when the MD11 wide-body passenger aircraft project that is crucial for McDonnell Douglas survival was established in eight or five years, McDonnell Douglas made the wrong choice of three, and the result was a thought.
