Regarding the tearing between GM and Rolls-Royce, this kind of thing is too many times, and it has also been around for a long time, both sides have already had various experiences, and are familiar with each other's style and black history.

The angry Rollo didn't care about what he wanted to show in front of the newcomer at this time, and he definitely broke out all kinds of revelations about what color the generic bottoms were.

In the face of this world-class tearing, whether it is Southwest Science and Industry, MTU, MBB, or even Xifei and Hongqi Factory, they are all kinds of breathtaking, just like watching a Hollywood movie, which is called all kinds of three-view subversion.

Fortunately, this incident also lasted for a short time, and soon after the two sides calmed down, they immediately stopped breaking the news, and then symbolically counted the engines brought by the other party this time, which also marked the end of this meeting.

After the speech of the review team, it was announced that the engine of that company would be announced in half a month, and before that, the three parties should not worry too much, and everyone should continue to continue the development progress of the engine.

After they left, Yang Hui was stopped by Tang Changhong, saying that he wanted to catch up with the past, so he deliberately took Yang Hui to the canteen in West Africa to fry a few dishes, and took out a bottle of wine and drank a little distressed.

At this time, at the dinner table, Yang Hui learned that the current MPC-75 project has received a confirmed order for one hundred and five aircraft, and there are also one hundred and twenty-three intended orders, which also include some super luxury business jet orders that are intended to be promoted by Xifei, not to mention more, at least the current order can support the Xifei-MBB two sides to insist on developing this aircraft.

But then Tang Changhong's words broke out a somewhat worrying news: "Now our aircraft does look very promising, and we are also working overtime to develop it." But until now, the attitude in China has not been decided, and the joint venture factory in Modu has begun to produce McDonnell Douglas 82 aircraft. There have always been voices in China that the aircraft we are developing now overlaps with the 82 aircraft, and the support for our aircraft is still being debated. ”

Hear here. Yang Hui is also a member of the bureaucrats who manage the civil aviation business in China, and he actually thinks that the payment of regional airliners will overlap with the McDonnell Douglas 82 of the same level as the Boeing 737.

Of course, Yang Hui knows more or less about the results of the previous face, it seems that the previous face of the Republic in 92 signed a contract to assemble a 110-seat small trunk airliner: McDonnell Douglas 90, and now McDonnell Douglas may have begun to develop this McDonnell Douglas 90 aircraft, it should be that some sharp-eyed people in China have begun to have something interesting about this aircraft.

At this time, the MPC-75 is naturally a little difficult to say, although now this is only a 75 to 85-seat regional airliner, but as long as you understand people look at the basic design and architecture of this aircraft. The potential of this aircraft can be improved slightly, and it will definitely be able to compete with the McDonnell Douglas 90.

In this regard, Yang Hui could only smile and comfort his old classmates: "The reason why those guys from the Civil Aviation Administration are hesitant now is that they think that the potential of your aircraft is too great, and it may threaten the McDonnell Douglas cooperation project that has now blossomed. We are developing countries and we don't have so much money to waste. ”

Yang Hui had already guessed what those guys were thinking at this time, and it was all kinds of ridicule and disdain along the way. Maybe in their opinion. According to the drawings and processes, the direct manufacture of aircraft, and the cooperation and development of Xifei are the same foreign cooperation, since they are all the same, then why not choose a project that is easy to learn and has already produced results.

And how can these people know the difference between developing an airplane and building an airplane? The model on the Modu side is actually the same as the Soviet Union's aid to the republics to manufacture military fighters decades ago, and the model is the same, just give you the drawings and you can take them to production.

The drawbacks of this model have been exposed in the Republic's current development of its own military fighters, and it is absolutely a world of difference from Xifei's participation in the development of its own military fighters. But that's what people think, what can you do?

Tang Changhong also sighed helplessly for a long time when he heard what Yang Hui said. Then he bowed his hand and said indifferently.

"There's nothing to say about that. The big deal is that the country does not support our development, we now do not have domestic orders can also achieve the operation of the project, as long as we persevere, believe that we are the next Hongdu, MPC-75 is the next L8 trainer aircraft, it is not impossible to bloom in the wall and incense outside the wall, and then return to the country after the international market has made a difference, then we will have to talk to the Civil Aviation Administration. ”

The heroic Tang Changhong is also twenty-seven or eighteen years old, it is not surprising that he has this kind of thought, Yang Hui was not so confident at that time, and finally took the Southwest Science and Industry step by step to the present?

After a lot of reminiscence, he returned to the guest house, for the current MPC-75 project, Yang Hui is actually a little difficult to determine what will develop in the end, after all, the current MPC-75 and the progress of the MPC-75 on the plane, it seems that it is not much faster, the only difference may be that the MPC-75 project on this plane has more than 200 orders.

However, no one can say whether the MPC-75 will survive next year's turmoil, and after the MPC-75 project mentioned by the previous person was stopped, the German side is still reluctant to give up, and no one knows whether the statement that the two sides are willing to carry out the project in secret in private.

In view of these uncertainties, Yang Hui will have the project that he joined with Northrop not long ago, and eggs can never be put in just one basket, if the MPC-75 project here really has a problem that even Yang Hui can't do anything about it in the end, then the CG-2000 on the side of Southwest Science and Industry is a little embarrassing.

Fortunately, Yang Hui concocted the project of Southwest Science and Industry to take a stake in Embraer, and after Southwest Science and Industry moved into the board of directors of Embraer, Southwest Science and Industry's CG-2000 engine had a new installed object. Embraer's engine demand is no small at all. When the time comes to compete with other engines, the CG-2000 engine of Southwest Science and Industry will have more advantages.

That's it. Yang Hui's abacus can be described as snapping, and the current engine procurement evaluation team is also planning to make a decision. Now in the fifth day of listening to the scolding war between the three engine providers, the project team needs to have a preliminary decision.

"Our project team has the right to cross out one engine and leave the remaining two engines to the chief engineer system to choose, and now I think we need to give up the BR-715 engine from Rolls-Royce. As General Motors said, Rolls-Royce has adopted a lot of new technologies, but the effect of the engine after the adoption of new technologies is not outstanding, in a sense, this engine is not as good as CG-2000, and it is also inferior to the CF-34-3 engine given by GM in terms of schedule, purchase quotation and R&D risk. ”

This is what the head of the judging team from MBB said, although there are more or less subjective factors when speaking. But Rolls-Royce's BR-715 engine is indeed a bit high or low, and it does seem a bit chicken compared to the three engines.

The person in charge of the Xifei review team here also agreed with this statement, and nodded in agreement at the right time.

"To be honest, if we don't have CG-2000 and CF-34-3, two extreme engines with more outstanding advantages, Rolls-Royce's BR-715 engine is indeed a rare good choice, but now its mediocrity happens to be a bit of a chicken rib."

At this point, everything is clear, the BR-715 engine brought by Rolls-Roy is the first to be kicked out, and the remaining two engines are submitted to the overall MPC-75 project chief engineer system for selection. As a member of the judging team, the person in charge of MBB submitted the remaining two engines with his own idea in passing.

And it was this idea that he came up with, but completely solved the problem of leaving these two engines, and sometimes there is not necessarily only one winner. Walking on two legs is always the safest and safest option.

"Old Ma, what do you think of this proposal. Leaving both engines behind, GM's solution is the safest and most secure. The development speed is also fast enough to meet the needs of the engine during our test flight. The CG-2000 engine has advanced performance and high development risk. But we have a universal scheme for insurance, and the development risk of CG-2000 will no longer affect our aircraft development. ”

Mr. Ma was the most calm at this time, and in the face of this plan to leave both engines, he thought more about it, such as whether it was technically feasible.

It wasn't until he suddenly remembered the current development progress of these two engines that it suddenly became clear that it was too simple.

"I think this plan is OK, anyway, these two engines are still under development, so let both of them coordinate to unify the various interfaces of the two engines with the aircraft into the same standard, and it is important to realize that the two engines can be seamlessly interchangeable on an airplane, and even the engine pod must be exactly the same. That's going to be a big selling point for our MPC-75 engines at that point, and it's attractive to think about being able to fully swap two different engine models off the field. ”

This is Mr. Ma's plan, leaving these two engines when they are used together, and requiring the engines to be completely interchangeable, so that Xifei does not have to trouble more when designing the aircraft, and the civil aviation company that uses the aircraft can also have one more choice.

What Mr. Ma didn't know was that his idea this time had once again taken out the design ideas of the previous plane after 2000, and put forward the Boeing 787 aircraft in the previous plane to unify the interface between the engine and the aircraft of the three aero engine giants, so that Boeing put forward: "no matter what time and place, the other two types of aero engines can be replaced" This requirement has brought the design concept of one aircraft to the extreme.

Now, this kind of design idea appeared more than ten years in advance under the imagination of Chief Master Ma, which is definitely without any participation of Yang Hui, and completely relies on the wisdom of Chief Master Ma and the response to the actual situation in the engine selection.

"This idea is very good, it is definitely the first time in the world, this kind of thinking will definitely appear in more civil aircraft design in the future, Mr. Ma, you are really superior! So we've decided that these two engines will be the engine? ”

MBB's five-body projection admired by Chief Ma's design ideas, and he trusted Xifei's technical ability more, as for why it was said that it was two engines instead of three, the reason for this is needless to say, who made Rollo pretend to be too forced at that time, and pretended to be a little too much.

Imagine that the CF-34-3 and CG-2000 engines can be interchangeable at that time.

Even more absolutely, the developers of the two engines jointly apply for a patent for the interface, even if Rolls-Royce knows this interface, but it is also difficult to use this interface, GM and Southwest Science and Industry-MTU will let Rolls-Royce insert into this market?

In this way, the BR-715 engine will definitely die, if Rolls-Royce gives up the development of this engine after the failure of this bid, it will be forgotten, if you continue to talk about the development of this engine, hehehe (to be continued.) )
