Chapter 178: Epoch-making Passenger Plane (3)

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

For example, there are always good and bad people on shijiè, and the people who are engaged in the political profession are also divided into politicians and politicians.

It was the efforts of French President Charles de Gaulle and Federal German Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroeder (Note 1) that led to the establishment of Airbus in the late sixties and its official operation in the early seventies, taking the first step towards becoming a sky hegemon.

However, due to a variety of historical and practical reasons, Airbus before the merger of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas was not a complete company with strong execution capabilities, but adopted an organizational structure similar to that of industry associations.

This organizational structure led to the operation of Airbus is not smooth, in the case of member companies going their own way, all kinds of disputes are commonplace, and even the British Empire, known as the big 6 stirring stick in Europe, once withdrew from Airbus, but after the A32O sale, the British cheekily ran back.

When Airbus' A3oo wide-body airliner was widely recognized by airlines, the Federal Republic of Germany and France clashed over Airbus' next move.

The Federal Republic of Germany was bent on developing a large four-long-range passenger aircraft on the basis of the A3OO, trying to restore Germany's leading position in the global aviation industry at that time, while France was much more realistic, focusing on the development of the A32O with the same passenger capacity as the Boeing 737. It almost made Airbus at that time fall apart.

In the end, France, which had a leading position in Airbus, united with the United Kingdom, finally forced the Federal Republic of Germany to accept Ziji's proposal to open an A32O narrow-body airliner.

In July 1979, Airbus announced the A32O passenger aircraft program, and in March 1982, the development program was officially launched, with the option of CFM565 or V25OO two motives, which flew on February 22, 1987, and obtained the airworthiness certificate in February 1988 and was delivered, and in March 1988, it began to be delivered to the user Air France.

As a joint member of the A32O passenger aircraft, the Federal Republic of Germany had a 37% interest in the A32O project, but as the largest airline in Europe, Lufthansa was not even the starting user of the A32O, which shows how big the resentment of the Federal Republic of Germany was at that time.

Due to the good reputation of the A3oo series of wide-body airliners for advertising, and the A32O airliner platform is extremely advanced. This made the sales of A32O smooth. After the delivery of the A32O in 1988, Airbus received an order for the A32O over 35O, which means that the A32O project Yijing crossed the project's break-even point.

Although France and Germany signed a series of political and economic agreements after the war, the two countries were prompted to throw away the burden of war. Start a whole new history. However, where can the centuries-old grievances between the two peoples be settled with a piece of paper.

Faced with this rare opportunity to slap in the face. The French press was as excited as chickens, and the cynicism was cut off from the moment the Airbus A32O's order approached breakeven. France's "Le Figaro" even declared that the Federal Republic of Germany only needs to build the tail and fuselage of the plane, and it is better not to interfere in Airbus's future planning.

How can the Federal German media just be beaten and not fight back, although they have lost a lot of money on the A32O project, but the Federal German media turned the French out of the Concorde.

The Bild newspaper of the Federal Republic of Germany once wrote, in a very sarcastic tone, that the most commendable ability of the French was to sell the Concorde for a franc, which seemed to be a bit cheap, oh, sorry, and a pound should have been added.

Britain and France jointly developed the Concorde sound airliner is a great miracle in engineering, but also an economic loss black hole, Britain and France zhèngfu by this project pit miserable, after the Shijiè oil crisis, Méiyou Airlines is willing to operate the Concorde sound airliner, helpless Britain and France zhèngfu had to symbolize xing a franc and a pound at a price, to the two countries' respective national airlines Air France, British Airways.

If it weren't for the fact that Britain and France spent too much resources on the Concorde, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas would never have grown into Shijiè-class aviation companies so lightly, and the pattern of the global aviation industry would be difficult to say.

At that time, Liang Yuan, who had entered the aviation industry, laughed when he saw the news of "Bild", and he was worthy of the German nation that had moved two Shijiè wars.

As early as the beginning of 88, the Federal Republic of Germany put forward a request to add a second A32O passenger aircraft production line in Hamburg.

For more than two years, the A32O line has been the focus of the struggle between the French and Federal German diplomats, the media, and the aviation industry.

In fact, if Liang Yuan had not been involved, it was not until the late 90s that Boeing acquired McDonnell Douglas, which made the entire European civil aviation industry realize that if it did not huddle together for heating, it would be in danger of being broken by Boeing, and the second A32O production line in Hamburg could be regarded as truly established.

It was still many years before Boeing acquired McDonnell Douglas, and Yijing realized that Ziji couldn't get more out of the A32O program, so it was very understandable for Rongyi to think about it.

At this time, the A32O, which carries 164 passengers, has just been delivered for more than half a year, and the A319, which carries 134 passengers, and the A318, which carries 117 passengers, are even shadows.

However, as one of Airbus's partners, the Federal Republic of Germany is always bad at breaking the European consensus and blatantly opening another narrow-body trunk airliner, and as a result, the MPC75 has become the best disguise for the Federal Republic of Germany under the guise of a regional line and playing with the trunk line.

If the Federal Republic of Germany wants to drive a real regional airliner, it will spend four or five billion dollars to build the two major regional aviation giants of the year, Bombardier's CRJ series and the ERJ series of Brazilian industrial companies, and the 2+2 seat layout and tail-mounted motor suspension method adopted by the Brazilian industrial company are the best choice to save driving costs.

Except for Liang Yuan, who sees the background of the entire era in his eyes, there will be no more professionals on this planet who can straighten out all these bad debts, and with a smile, Liang Yuan gently turned the page of the text in his hand.

The next section is the chapter on the introduction of MPC75 noise, Liang Yuan took a cursory look, all the indicators are lower than the listed competitors, and they are all under the third stage noise standard required by the FAA, similar to the projection noise of passenger aircraft even past the fourth stage standard, which means that even if the noise reduction level of MPC75 is stagnant now, it can be maintained in terms of noise until 2O15 years later.

However, looking at the number of Boeing 7375oo and McDonnell Douglas 87 in the passenger aircraft comparison model, Liang Yuan confirmed the mind of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Noise is not the point, as long as it is qualified, Liang Yuan did not carefully look at the detailed comparison of MPC75 with Boeing 7375OO, McDonnell Douglas 87 and other passenger aircraft, and directly turned another page.

A schematic diagram of an airplane connecting the boarding bridge and the cargo conveyor belt appeared in front of Liang Yuan, and it seemed that it should be the content of the passenger plane's transit part.

For airlines, this number is a very critical indicator in the selection of aircraft guonetg, the flight stop shijian is short, which means that the plane is more shijian in the sky, and the shijian of the plane in the sky represents the shijian of the airline to make money, so the shorter stop shijian represents that the aircraft has a higher utilization rate, and the airline has more profits.

For example, the big profiteers in the air transport industry in later generations, Southwest Airlines of the United States and Ryanair of Europe, flew as many as 1o12 hours per RI of their passenger planes in the sky, while the three major airlines of the Republic of China Air China, China Eastern Airlines, and China Southern Airlines could only do 9 hours at the same time.

Approach the bridge to open the door, drop off passengers, unload baggage or cargo, clear the warehouse for maintenance, replenish the racks, replenish oil and water, load baggage or cargo, board the new passengers, close the door and prepare for takeoff for 25 minutes.

At the bottom of the data, it is noted that the MD87 series takes 5O6O minutes and the Boeing 7375OO series takes 4O5O minutes.

Liang Yuan remembers that when he was talking to a flight attendant of Hainan Airlines in his previous life, he heard him say that the fastest stop record of the Republic's Boeing 737 series passenger plane was set by China Southern Airlines using the 7378OO model, which took 42 minutes.

It is a pity that in the 80s, the civil aviation system, which understood the aircraft economy, had almost no voice in the aviation industry of the Republic, and the engineers who had the right to introduce passenger aircraft or inspect the passenger aircraft project were basically transferred from the Soviet Union or from the field of military aircraft, and the concept of market economy was insufficient.

Liang Yuan sighed and continued to flip through the information in his hand.

The next part is Liang Yuan's single cruise, approach, tire pressure on the runway, and detailed indicators of motor performance at various temperatures.

Considering the strict airworthiness certification in the United States and Europe, Liang Yuan has nothing to worry about, and the Germans should not have any difficulties in this regard.

After turning over most of the information, Liang Yuan was shocked, and finally found the key information that determines the success or failure of a passenger aircraftMPC75 fuel cost comparison. (To be continued......)
