readx;?I haven't reacted at all, this is still on the C-818 at the beginning, why the next moment it directly pulls the problem to the An-218, just as a long-range wide-body airliner, this thing is simply a baby bump in the baby bump for the Antonov Design Bureau, Yang Hui doesn't think that the southwest side of AVIC can still have too much intersection with the An-218. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As for the issue of AVIC Southwest's wide-body passenger aircraft plan, in this regard alone, Yang Hui has nothing to worry about, and now AVIC Southwest has all kinds of information about the entire MD-11, all of which were secretly given benefits back then, little by little from the Modu Factory.

Even after the MD-11 project cooperation on the side of the Modu Factory went bankrupt, based on the fact that the elders directly deprived the Modu Factory of the whole machine manufacturing qualification, the various technical people trained by the Modu Factory through MD-11 before > pig & pig & island & novel {}. {}. The staff has been settled with an unsavory PY deal between AVIC Southwest and AVIC Northeast, so a group of technicians who are still hopeful about the wide-body airliner are still secretly studying the domestic improvement of the MD-11 airliner.

"An-218 I have heard, it is said to be a twin-engine long-range wide-body airliner to be prepared to fight with the A330, let's not talk about the performance of this aircraft, at least now in my opinion, it is more than worth the loss for our AVIC Southwest, I think this time the Security Bureau through you to contact this side, it should be the idea of cooperative development, this is right?"

When the An-218 project did not disintegrate in the Soviet Union, according to the original plan, it was planned to complete the first flight in 1996, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, there was no need for the entire An-218 to continue to exist, so it was officially discontinued in 1995.

Calculate the time and you will find that in fact, it coincides with the current time node, and now the Security Bureau has hit the idea of AVIC Southwest here, and there should be no way to think about it, at least the two wide-body giants Airbus and Boeing must not be able to look at the An-218 This kind of thing, and other Embraer, Bombardier and other regional airliner manufacturers may not even dare to think about the wide-body trunk airliner market, and only AVIC Southwest has ideas about trunk airliners. Only companies that have a large market in the future can be regarded as the only ones that can take over the existence of wide-body passenger aircraft.

However, the world makes people, for a so-called wide-body passenger aircraft like An-218, Yang Hui really can't see anything worth taking over, its 5.62-meter fuselage diameter is even a little less than the 5.64-meter diameter of A330, although it is generally not in the way, but it also fully proves that this aircraft is actually an A330-level aircraft.

As for some other data, the total length of the aircraft is 60, the width is 50, the height is 15.7, the wing area is 270 square meters, the maximum take-off is 170 tons, the commercial load is 42 tons, and the number of seats with a maximum of 350 seats seems to be slightly able to be regarded as the mainstream configuration in the 90s, but when this configuration is completed and delivered more than ten years later, it is embarrassing that these two more advanced aircraft at this time were directly born with the advantage of generation separation.

What's more, in cooperation with Antonov, this design bureau has always been just a design bureau for the development of transport aircraft, not to mention whether there is experience in the development of civil airliners of European and American standards, this guy does not even have experience in the development of civil airliners of Soviet standards, and you can think about what the wide-body civil airliners designed by such a design bureau look like, and the big and small problems in the middle can definitely drive people crazy.

At that time, even if AVIC Southwest has a little experience in the development of civil airliners, it is impossible to develop the aircraft smoothly, so in a large sense, the risk of the whole project is not small, so when he heard about this An 218, Yang Hui had already made up his mind not to contact too much, which was obviously a sinkhole.

Then Kinchenko did not surprisingly begin to help match the old club and the new owner: "Yes, this time the main reason is that the Antonov Design Bureau does not have enough funds to continue the development of the An-218, so since the company also has ideas to develop in the field of trunk airliners, the two parties can develop the An-218, which should also be a win-win situation, with the technical ability of the Antonov Design Bureau is completely possible to develop this aircraft." ”

Seize the opportunity to come as a lobbyist, but unfortunately Yang Hui at this time has no idea about the An-218, and can only refuse this kindness: "I won't read this letter, to be honest, our company now has its own wide-body airliner plan in the pre-research, but now the degree of secrecy is still relatively high, your side is mainly focusing on the Xinzhou series and C-320 general transport/tanker, so it may not be clear about these now, but what I want to say is that there is a difference between the An-218 and the wide-body aircraft we position, And in terms of progress, the 218 may not be able to compare with the wide-body airliner we have now. ”

For the first time, I heard that the new owner actually secretly had a wide-body passenger aircraft project, and the progress was not slower than the An-218, then this is really a bit interesting.

It's just that now looking at the project in my hand, it seems that it is absolutely difficult to get out of it without two years, can I only be a passerby in the field of wide-body passenger aircraft?

"Our own wide-body airliner? If the company has already established a wide-body airliner, it is indeed a bit of a conflict with the An-218 project, but our wide-body airliner is really faster than the An-218 in terms of progress, you must know that the An-218 has entered the prototype structure manufacturing stage, and our wide-body airliner can be so fast? ”

Generally speaking, when the progress of a model of wide-body passenger aircraft reaches the stage of manufacturing the prototype structure, it is certainly impossible to say that the entire outside world does not even know a little news, not to mention that Kinchenko is still a key figure in the company's development of civil airliners, it is completely impossible to conceal it, and it is also completely contrary to the law of civil airliner development.

However, Yang Hui is completely right, as long as Yang Hui is willing, he can even say that the progress has been put into formal commercial operation and has a certain service in China, after all, the wide-body passenger aircraft of AVIC Southwest is developed on the basis of MD-11, and MD-11 is also a relatively mature wide-body passenger aircraft.

Therefore, Yang Hui is quite satisfied with this in his heart: "That's right, our wide-body passenger aircraft project was not originally developed completely from scratch, in fact, our project also has a certain reference prototype, and even we have obtained the original factory information, and the current pre-research work is mainly to improve the shortcomings of this aircraft."
