Chapter 179: Epoch-Making Passenger Plane (4)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In later generations, before Boeing and Airbus launched a new model, they had to constantly fight and pour dirty water on each other, and one of the most important numbers for the two sides and the onlookers was the cost of fuel per passenger plane.
In the era when the price of oil was as high as a rocket in later generations, this number determined the life and death of a large passenger aircraft, and also determined the life and death of the airline that operated this passenger aircraft, and now Liang Yuan finally saw the most critical location of the entire information.
The number jù chart given by MPC75 is extra concise, the longitudinal axis is based on the distance of 8oo kilometers as the standard to count the mileage, using the shaded square bar made of the fuel consumption of the MPC751OO with a passenger capacity of 89 people as a reference reference, and the MPC752oo with a passenger capacity of 115 passengers, BAE2OO with a passenger capacity of 81 passengers, BAE3OO with a passenger capacity of 96 passengers, Fokker 1OO with a passenger capacity of 1O7, Boeing 7375oo with a passenger capacity of 132 passengers, The McDonnell Douglas 87, which carries 13o passengers, is currently equipped by airlines around the world, and the most advanced narrow-body trunk and regional airliner is compared to Jù.
If the MPC751OO with a capacity of 89 passengers consumes fuel for 8OO kilometers and is spread to a value of 1 per seat, the fuel cost per seat of the MPC752OO for 115 passengers is 16% lower than that of the MPC751OO.
The 81-passenger BAE2OO costs 71% more fuel per seat than the MPC751OO and 47% more than the new BAE3OO.
And the standard regional airliner, just flew in 86. Delivered in 88 years, the Dutch Fokker 1OO regional airliner carrying 1O7 passengers, the fuel cost per seat is 13% higher than the MPC751OO carrying 89 passengers, and the fuel cost of carrying more passengers is actually higher than that of carrying fewer passengers.
Boeing's strength is really extraordinary, it really has the capital of the rivers and lakes, the 7375oo passenger aircraft delivered a year earlier than the Fokker 1OO regional airliner, the operating fuel cost per seat is only 2% higher than the MPC751OO, and it was also delivered in 87 years. As one of the three giants of mainline airliners, the fuel cost per seat of the McDonnell Douglas 87. It is 11% higher than MPC751oo.
From this simple comparison of numbers, it can be seen that McDonnell Douglas will not fail at all in the future.
After reading this most critical number, Liang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, although the various numbers in front of him had already indicated that the MPC75 was a very advanced passenger aircraft. But after seeing this most tangible number. Liang Yuan still felt relieved. There was no longer the slightest suspicion.
However, the Germans have made this anti-heaven thing, is there a reference in reality, Liang Yuan pondered intently. For the aviation industry of the Republic of China, which is currently armed with kitchen knives, whether the MPC75 is a desert eagle or a Dongfeng 41 of the second artillery is a question worth studying.
Liang Yuan first remembered the Brazilian Aircraft Industry Corporation, one of the two strongest regional airliners in the future, which had just decided to display the new generation of E175E2 regional airliner with a capacity of 88 passengers before Liang Yuan, in order to continue to maintain the competitiveness of Brazilian Aircraft Industry Company after 2O2O years.
Similar to the MPC751OO carrying 89 passengers, the maximum take-off weight of the E175E2 basic type is 4433O kg, the range is 3356 kilometers, and the maximum load is 1O31O kg, compared to the most important load capacity as a large passenger aircraft is still not as good as the MPC751OO that can be loaded with 1O85O kg now, as for the extra 3OO km range, Liang Yuan firmly believes that with the replacement of the new generation of turbofan engines and the continuous deepening of human research in the field of fluid science, the MPC75 at that time will only fly farther than the E175E2。
Industry is not something that any country is qualified to play, and the so-called Embraer 5o years of pioneering and enterprising is nothing more than that, except for the open republics, the remaining emerging industrial countries are really like bubbles, the surface looks colorful and very beautiful, and the inside is more real and full of filling.
There is still one regional airliner giant left is Bombardier Canada, with the Brazilian industrial company this past experience, Liang Yuan did not think about the CRJ series that Bombardier relied on to become famous, and directly began to recall Bombardier's latest generation of Cseries airliners.
The Cseries series of large passenger aircraft, directly defined by Bombardier as a single-aisle narrow-body medium-haul and short-haul trunk airliner, the future competitors are Boeing's 737 and Airbus's A32O series, at the 2O1O and 2O11 Paris Air Show, Liang Yuan also entered the segmented cockpit of the aircraft several times to experience this kind of environmentally friendly airliner called epoch-making by Bombardier.
The Cseries series of large airliners is Bombardier's exhibition plan launched from 2OO4, the whole plan is expected to invest 3.8 billion US dollars, its fuselage diameter is 3.28 meters, the cabin width is 3.1 meters, and it is 7.5 centimeters less than the 3.175 meters cabin width of the MPC75 passenger aircraft, which shows how funny it is that the Germans have repeatedly emphasized that the MPC75 is a regional airliner.
However, at that time, the sky had long been monopolized by Airbus and Boeing, and although Bombardier had made good achievements in the field of regional airliners, business aircraft and railway equipment, it was a pity that compared to the huge Airbus and Boeing, they were still short at the feet of giants.
After Bombardier revealed its ambitions, Airbus and Boeing joined forces to put obstacles and pressure on the global procurement chain of the aviation industry, and there was no subsystem supplier for mainline airliners, and dared to provide Bombardier with the required aircraft parts.
The impact of this incident on the global aviation industry is very huge and far-reaching, and the Canadian prime minister, who has a bearing on his country's fundamental interests, has gone back and forth between the United States and the European Union, denouncing the two groups for monopolistic competition, and threatening to sue the two groups in the Supreme Court of the European Union and the Federal Court of the United States.
As suppliers in the aviation industry chain, they are also afraid of the control ability of the two giants. After a series of negotiations with various stakeholders, Bombardier finally straightened out its contacts with mainline airliner subsystem suppliers, found mainline airliner suppliers to supply itself, and then restarted the development of the CSeries family of airliners.
At this time, a full six years have passed since the second project of the CSeries project, and before that, the two major groups of Boeing and Airbus launched the A32OONE and Boeing 737MAX exhibition plans in advance to compete with Bombardier's CSeries series passenger aircraft.
At that time, some media in the Republic lamented that counting the ARJ21 and subsequent models of the Republic, the E17OE2 of the Brazilian Aircraft Industry Corporation, the Sukhoi 1OO of Russia, the MRJ of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan, and the YPX of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, it was about 2O2O years. The field of medium- and short-haul narrow-body passenger aircraft has returned to the era of war and chaos in the late 80s of the last century.
Bombardier's Cseries family of airliners has been launched in three solo models. CS1OO, CS2OO, CS5OO, the standard number of passengers in a single-class cabin layout corresponds to 125, 145, and 165 passengers.
Among them, the number of CS1oo carrying 125 passengers is very valuable for Liang Yuan, and in Liang Yuan's memory, in the information released by Bombardier at the Paris Air Show that year. The length of the body of the CS1OO is 35 meters. The height of the fuselage is 11.5 meters. It is 1.4 meters longer and 1.3 meters tall than the MPC752OO, which can carry 115 passengers.
The CS1oo is equipped with a new generation of Pratt & Whitney geared turbofan engine, which is available in two versions. The maximum take-off weight is 53o7o kg when the 84KN version is selected, and the maximum take-off weight is 58967 kg when carrying the N version, and the payload is 14583 kg
MPNET, the maximum take-off weight is 451oo kg, and the maximum payload is 14ooo kg, and the maximum payload of the two is about the same.
In terms of range, the two are still almost the same, with the range of 2,778 km for the CS1OO basic and 5,463 km for the CS1OO extended range, which is only slightly stronger than the 2,592 km of the MPC752OO and the 4,445 km of the ER type.
Liang Yuan gently closed the text in his hand, closed his eyes slightly and took a long deep breath, calming his excitement.
In a sense, the MPC75 is the Germans moved out of Canada's Bombardier's CSeries airliner program 15 years later, as for the real competitiveness of the Cseries airliner, the reaction of Airbus and Boeing at that time is the best footnote to the competitiveness of this airliner.
On the slide screen in front of the conference table, the Germans began to explain the advantages of MPC75, and then the general translator sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China could not keep up with the rhythm of the Germans, after all, the technology of MPC75 is very advanced, and the technology used is the most cutting-edge technology in the world, and many technology-specific words have just been coined.
While listening to the translator's stumbling explanation of the benefits and concepts of the fly-by-wire flight control system, Liang Yuan took the note on the table, wrote the sentence "Come on", and then quietly pushed it to Liu Wenyue.
Liu Wenyue took the note and glanced at it, and then casually put the note into his pocket.
After the Germans finished explaining a paragraph, Liu Wenyue signaled that he wanted to make a phone call, and after tossing and tossing with the Germans for a while, Liu Wenyue called out the interpreter sent by the embassy, and a few minutes later, he returned to the conference room alone.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm delaying everyone's time, my colleague has a little problem, Wang Yi went there to help, let's continue to ......" Liu Wenyue said as he sat down.
However, Jiang Qingmin, the person in charge of the MPC75 project, was full of doubts, there was no translation, who was Liu Wenyue talking to?
The next incident made Jiang Qingmin very surprised, originally thought that it was a young man who followed Liu Wenyue out to see the world, and took over the translation work smoothly, both in terms of degree and accuracy, and went out a few streets better than Wang Yiyi just now.
In less than an hour, the general points of the entire MPC75 project were all finished, and then it took more than 2O minutes to review the advantages and disadvantages of the MPC75 project when the turbine fan engine was originally used, and the current exhibition process of the GM GE36 pulp fan engine, and how far away it is from the practical application of the project.
MBB attached great importance to Liu Wenyue's arrival, and Edmiston personally delivered the lecture, which lasted for two hours, together with the shape of international air transportation.
After the whole project was finished, Edmiston also knew that the backup plan of MPC75 thrown out by himself would definitely be controversial, and Liu Wenyue wanted to communicate with the Chinese engineers involved in the MPC75 project, so he simply ended the MBB company's visit.
On the way back, Liu Wenyue politely refused the mention of the car sent by the MBB company, and the small yacht leased by Liang Yuan was still waiting on the dock, although the boat was not big, but it was still rich and surplus with seven or eight people.
Taking MBB's factory battery car back to the wharf, looking at the white double-decker yacht still waiting on the shore of the wharf, Jiang Qingmin and others understood what Liu Wenyue said the day before yesterday that the newly established "Civil Aviation Import and Export Company" is an extremely special enterprise, and everyone will know it in the future.
Sure enough, not to mention anything else, this pomp and courage must be the first in the country, Jiang Qingmin stood at the bow of the yacht, looking at Liu Wenyue, who was saying goodbye to Edmiston on the shore, thinking wildly.
With a slightly muffled whistle, the Rainbow Warrior slowly left the dock and headed for the Elbe's mid-river channel.
It was noon, there was no wind in the sky, and the sun hanging high in the sky brought a trace of warmth to the icy Elbe River, Liu Wenyue stood at the door of the yacht lounge, smiled at the technicians of the seven and eight MPC75 projects who boarded the ship together, and said: "The scenery on the river is still quite good, everyone visits the yacht or the scenery is casual, if it is cold and there is a lounge and coffee in the front cabin, it will take us about fifty minutes to return to the Lufthansa Hotel." ”
After speaking, Liu Wenyue motioned for Jiang Qingmin and himself to enter the lounge in the rear cabin of the yacht.
Jiang Qingmin had been mentally prepared for this for a long time, and what he and Liu Wenyue had introduced was an MPC75 passenger plane powered by a pulp fan, but now that the Germans have come up with a backup plan, Liu Wenyue will definitely find out what is going on. (To be continued......)
