After talking about the situation on the Gulfstream side, it is time to talk about the general situation of communication and negotiation in other aspects. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter all, this is a business negotiation, and you can't rely on just one, on the one hand, there are risks, and on the other hand, don't we have a saying, called shopping around, comparing prices.

In fact, there are two other companies that occupy the world's business jet market with Gulfstream, one is Bombardier Aerospace in Ghana, and the other is Bassi Aerospace Industries, which is located in Barwest. Both companies are very powerful, and they are the third and fourth largest commercial aircraft manufacturers in the world, respectively. Of course, the first is Airbus and Boeing, and Gulfstream is not at all. Fatty: They made contact with these two companies separately. Bombardier Aerospace has a good attitude, and they are still continuing negotiations with the fat man. But this Bar West Aviation Industry Company is a little unsatisfactory. First of all, people are reluctant to contact Jiang Chen and them, and one thinks that Jiang Chen and their strength is not enough. The other believes that the cooperation of this airline should be a negotiation between countries, and companies like Jiang Chen and their should not be involved. Regarding the news that the fat man fed back, Jiang Chen was angry and funny. It's good that it's not much yet, the spectrum is very big, and of course the angry thing is that the other party has no one in his eyes, and his attitude is arrogant. In this regard, Jiang Chen immediately decided not to contact this West Aviation Industry Company anymore, and concentrated on contacting Bombardier Aerospace Company, and striving to make a choice between the two companies as soon as possible.

Of course, whether it is Gulfstream or Buddy Aerospace, they are all medium-sized business jets, and they are equipped with turbofan engines. And if Jiang Chen wants to master and produce completely independently, it will take a considerable period of time, and they will not see the results within one or two years, and they can see the initial results in five years, and they will almost have a preliminary result in about ten years. Although the development cycle is so long, it still has to be carried out, otherwise it will never stagnate and will not succeed. So this is one of the reasons why Jiang Chen gritted his teeth now and wanted to start, although Jiang Chen's ability is limited now, and it is relatively difficult to carry out, but no matter how difficult it is, it still has to be carried out, first bitter and then sweet, there will always be a day when the results will be produced.

Of course, there are medium- and long-term plans, and naturally there are short-term goals. Jiang Chen: They have two near-term goals, one is a light fixed-wing aircraft powered by traditional piston engines. This aircraft is simple in structure and inexpensive, making it suitable for middle-class families. In later generations, in foreign countries such as some Australia, North America, South America and other traditional agricultural and animal husbandry areas, this kind of light fixed-wing aircraft has been widely used for transportation or work. It is important to know that in these countries with relatively large territories and relatively small populations, except for a few large major cities, the rest are vast and sparsely populated areas, and some farmers and ranchers or some people are scattered. If these people want to go to the big city, they have to drive for a long time, sometimes a day or two or even three or four days to get there. So in this way, this kind of light fixed-wing aircraft with simple structure, easy to operate, easy to maintain, and cheap is naturally into the field of vision of everyone's choice, and gradually develops and grows. It can be said that in these areas, owning an airplane is as easy and common as owning a car in later generations. Jiang Chen remembered that the popularity of this light fixed-wing aircraft was in the mid-to-late eighties to the early nineties. Therefore, for Jiang Chen and them, it is very suitable for this matter to develop this kind of light fixed-wing aircraft, and Jiang Chen naturally does not want to miss this opportunity.

The other is a twin-engine turbo engine for medium and light fixed-wing aircraft, which is more efficient than the previous piston engine, which means that it is faster and has a higher load. Medium and light fixed-wing aircraft equipped with such engines can fly higher and farther than turbo aircraft, and the carrying weight has also been greatly increased. Therefore, this kind of aircraft is more suitable for some slightly long-distance flight missions, such as transportation between islands in the depths of the ocean, such as air traffic in sparsely populated areas, and for example, for some material transportation, rescue and disaster relief, patrol and vigilance. And this type of aircraft is very suitable for the growing air logistics express work. Because it is relatively fast and the shipping cost is relatively cheap, it is definitely an excellent choice for this kind of urgent shipment.

The other option is the turbo engine, which is relatively simple in technology and easier to develop and master than the turbofan jet engine. Therefore, this turbo engine and the model equipped with it will be one of the key projects developed by Jiang Chen. If the business jet equipped with turbofan engine in front is Jiang Chen's medium and long-term development plan, the piston light fixed-wing aircraft is Jiang Chen's stepping stone into the aviation manufacturing industry. So this turbo engine and its series of models will be the main force of the company's R&D and production in the future, or even for a long time.

In Jiang Chen's plan, the development of this aviation manufacturing industry naturally also adopts the development direction of both military and civilian use, not only to develop military aircraft, but on the one hand, to seize the arms sales market for the needs of national defense development. On the other hand, the development of civil aircraft, one is to serve the country's economic and social development, and the other is the huge aviation market, which Jiang Chen definitely does not want to let go. Through the study of military aircraft, a large number of advanced technologies have been accumulated, so as to apply them to civil aircraft, and better seize the aviation market. The other is to obtain sufficient funds through sales in the civilian market to support the research and development of advanced technologies. Supporting each other and developing together is the way to development and growth.

Because the technology of the piston engine is relatively easy, and the technology and production threshold of the light fixed-wing aircraft equipped with it is low, and the price is relatively easy, Jiang Chen is very easy to obtain. In fact, Jiang Chen and they don't need to introduce this technology at all. Because in terms of engine technology, the company's power research and development laboratory has developed high-horsepower engines. The piston engine equipped with the aircraft only needs to be deformed and redesigned accordingly, and the technical difficulty is not very high. On the airplane, these old people and researchers are all corresponding experts in the field of aircraft, so it is naturally not a problem to develop such an aircraft.

However, Jiang Chen still ignored the opposition of the old people to buy all the technology of a piston single-engine four-seat fixed-wing aircraft from Italy, and the cost was not high, only 600,000 US dollars. When these materials were in their hands, the old people were naturally taken aback when they studied them, because it turned out that they were already so far behind the advanced aircraft technology. Don't look at this as a light fixed-wing aircraft with a simple structure, but it is small and has all kinds of organs. Whether it is the fluid design of this fuselage, avionics, flight control, materials, or this engine, it has given the experts a great shock. So these experts didn't say anything, and after occupying a conference room in the hotel, everyone became otaku and began to study. (To be continued.) )
