The last challenger in the 90s used his life and blood to tell other latecomers who were about to make a move that the only remaining two giants in the field of large aircraft have united, and all latecomers who dare to challenge this field will face tremendous pressure.

In this way, the subsequent Embraer and Bombardier, two regional airliner manufacturers at the same time as Fokker and Nusandara, also extinguished their inner impulses and honestly continued to do their own regional airliner industry, and just with the fall of Fokker and Nusandara, the market share was naturally eaten by Embraer and Bombardier, which created a period from 97 to the middle of 2010, there were no companies that dared to challenge narrow-body trunk airliners.

This has been until the last republic, the first to test the waters with the ARJ-21, a 70-seat large jet regional airliner, this project has attracted attention from all sides since the announcement, but a few years later, after feeling that Boeing and Airbus have not made any moves on the ARJ, Mitsubishi, which soon got the signal, announced the development of a 90-seat MRJ, and Sukhoi announced the launch of the 95-seat SSJ-100.

What's more, Bombardier relied on its own Canadian company and the backing of the United Kingdom, so it directly announced the CS-100, a 130-seat quasi-trunk airliner, and Embraer was also not to be outdone to announce the 114-seat E190 project, and the two long-dormant regional airliner giants finally stood up to challenge the field of trunk airliners.

In any case, even the SC-100 and E-190, and even the MPC-130 in the planning at this time, have the flavor of some large regional airliners, rather than the standard mainline airliners like the A-320.

But it is true that after 2010, it is also more weird, for these challengers who are ready to move, Airbus and Boeing do not seem to have made any moves, so there is a further stimulus to the republic that first announced the ARJ project, since there is no dangerous atmosphere, then why do we throw off our arms!

Directly aiming at the latest improved version of the A-320 C-919 trunk airliner was officially released, and then it went further to sign a contract with Russia, and the two sides jointly developed the C-929 large wide-body twin-aisle passenger aircraft, and the passenger aircraft manufacturing industry can be described as a comeback!

Thinking of these things, Yang Hui actually felt that it was a little unlucky to challenge Airbus and Boeing in the 90s, and if he waited until 2000, maybe the environment would be better, but what to say about this situation now, in fact, it was at this time that the United Passenger Aircraft Company was ready to fly, and the further skinning of the MPC-75 was already a road that had to be taken.

In this way, Yang Hui can only bite the bullet: "It is no problem to improve the MPC-75, increase its passenger capacity to 130 seats, and increase the range to the standard narrow-body trunk airliner index, we can do it technically, but we have been considering now that if this project is made public, it will inevitably mean that Airbus, Boeing and even McDonnell Douglas will have to add a tripartite joint strangulation, which may not only lead to the failure of our 130-seat improved plan, It is even possible that it will directly affect the MPC-75, which is currently in a good situation. ”

It is naturally good to have a basic aircraft that can be used to lift the skin, but if the lifting fails, then the Fokker company is a typical lesson from the past, at least now the product line of the United Airliner and the Fokker company is too similar, the MPC-75 corresponds to the Fokker 100, and the Xinzhou series is very Fokker 50.

This is simply the Boeing and Airbus of the regional airliner industry, as for Embraer, Bombardier and Nusandra at the same time, they naturally did not have a large regional jet project that could be used as a pullover, so it could not be compared with United Airliner and Fokker.

Fokker of the same level died so heroically in the face of the previous one, so Yang Hui is still quite empty in his heart now, but no matter what, Yang Hui has already made a decision this time.

As the world's most populous country, the country with the fastest economic development at present, and has a huge narrow-body trunk airliner market, which is naturally very different from a small country like the Netherlands, and the Republic even cooperates with McDonnell Douglas to produce large wide-body passenger aircraft at this time.

That being the case, it is necessary to move forward against the wind at this time, and if you don't advance or retreat, it is now the autumn of critical survival!

"Although the international industry situation is relatively bad, we still have our own set of methods, now it depends on whether the government is willing to support us, anyway, the general plan now is to hide from the world!"

As soon as he heard that there was a plan this time, the prime minister was willing to listen to it, at least this plan has always had a miraculous effect in the republic, so he was interested: "Is it a cover?" Then I'll listen to how to hide from the sky and how to cross the sea! ”

At this time, Yang Hui has become the protagonist of the topic, so he also has various plans: "It's very simple, this deception naturally requires us to have a careful plan, for example, this time we plan to improve the MPC-75 to 130, and we will design it under the guise of developing another military special aircraft platform." ”

Yang Hui's plan is naturally very reliable, if you announce the improvement plan of 130 seats at the beginning, then the design test flight time of about 3-4 years in the middle can definitely make Airbus and Boeing react, and discuss various methods in the long run, seize any opportunity to directly make trouble in various ways that Yang Hui is not clear.

But now if it is under the guise of developing military aircraft, it will definitely be much simpler, first of all, the republic's military aircraft development has a high degree of secrecy, and it is not uncommon to not need to announce any news to the outside world, it is strange if it is really announced to the outside world, and secondly, the flight platform improved by this passenger plane is already closed, and whether it is equipped with special equipment or a standard civil aircraft layout, this is not from the outside to see any clues!

As soon as this proposal came out, it immediately made people's eyes shine, and it seems that there is really no secret in the development process of civil airliners in these years, and I believe that as long as Airbus and Boeing have not heard the news, they will naturally not think that this is such a thing, and naturally this project will not have to worry about someone making trouble.

"Then Director Chen, on your side, let's see if the plan proposed by Comrade Yang Hui is feasible? Your Civil Aviation Administration should also know the good and bad aspects of this, so can you give some necessary help and support? ”

Even the prime minister said so, of course Director Chen did not dare to have any hesitation: "There is no problem at all, General Manager Yang's plan is very good, although the secret in the research and development will cause the order of the passenger aircraft to be in a state of 0, and when the aircraft is developed, it will be difficult to get a foreign airworthiness certificate, but our Civil Aviation Administration can send a special person to follow up the test flight, and as long as there is no problem, the airworthiness certificate will be issued directly, and will organize domestic civil aviation companies to place orders for procurement after the project is announced in a short period of time." ”

The reason why the civil aircraft will be hyped in the prototype design stage is to win orders, this time Yang Hui will definitely be difficult to get orders, so this requires close cooperation in the country, but everything is okay, the current Civil Aviation Administration has changed its surname to Southwest, and these problems can be solved by both sides.

It was decided that the new MPC-130 should be developed in secret, and it was still under the guise of developing military special aircraft, so naturally the prime minister would have to think more about it, after all, if you want to develop a special flight platform on the basis of the MPC-130, it seems that it is really feasible!
