Chapter 835: "Crowdfunding" Transport Plane
Yes, if Yang Hui at this time still doesn't understand what the Germans are talking about, then he really should be killed head-on, this Nima is not clear is the legendary European generation of artifacts, the pinnacle of tactical transport aircraft, and the predecessor of the most excellent turbo transport aircraft A400M!
I didn't expect that the Germans at this time would actually come to find the southwest of AVIC, what should it mean, the Germans had just solved the division between East and West Germany a few years ago, and the American father's GIs were still stationed in Germany, so he dared to come to our republic to cooperate in the development of military aircraft? This Nima feels unreliable just by listening to it, although... Though...
Although the FLA project at this time was indeed more unreliable in the 90s, I think that the predecessor of the FLA project was still back in 82, when the French aerospace company, British Aerospace Corporation, MBB company and the American Lockheed Georgia Corporation decided to set up a joint working group to jointly discuss the issue of cooperation in the development of future international military transport aircraft.

That's right, the whole A400M project can be traced back to 82 years at the earliest, when Yang Hui didn't even participate in the work, and later! The project is also after a variety of tirades, in fact, there is no use, and now the MPC-75, which started later than the A400M project, has been delivered to users for commercial operation, and the A400M is also still in the pipeline.
Think about it carefully, the feasibility of the project began to be discussed in 82, at that time it was mainly because the C-130 transport aircraft equipped by the countries participating in the project was indeed about to reach the end of its life, and fortunately, at the beginning, the fantasy of various countries was very good, thinking that the development of transport aircraft was still very fast, and it could be done in about 10 years, so at the beginning the Quartet unit was expected to be finalized and delivered in the early 90s.
However, since the feasibility of the project was discussed in 82, the two sides have been in various disputes: for example, is it better to use a turbofan or a turbot? Is it better to have a load of 20 tons or 30 tons, and in which country should the final assembly line of the aircraft be built? How much should each country share the cost of R&D, and what should be the number of orders for each?
Although the project seems to be more prosperous on the surface, due to the different operational needs of the armies of various countries, this has also led to a variety of different requirements being put forward, resulting in the end whose requirements cannot be effectively met, so the project has been delayed indefinitely.
In this way, in the 90s, countries were still struggling with what the configuration of the project looked like, and with the passage of 12 years in the middle, the British side couldn't stand it at first, after all, at this time, the life of the C-130 transport aircraft in the hands of the British expired, so we had to find a way to solve the problem!
As a result, English first chose to order the Lockheed C-130J transport aircraft that had already withdrawn from the crowdfunding transport plan, and then Italy followed suit to announce the purchase order for the purchase of C-130J, although France did not purchase C-130J, but also chose to withdraw temporarily, and naturally the FLA project in 94 is facing the greatest danger, and it will fall apart if you don't pay attention.
So now as the main body of the German company involved in the FLA project, MM looks at the first four big four projects in 82, first Lockheed chose to withdraw in the late 80s, and then the United Kingdom and France are also planning to withdraw now. What do you need so many excuses for, without you NATO trioligues, I Germany will have to eat hairy pigs?
So there is mm to run to find AVIC Southwest and start secretly sending autumn waves, this can't be helped! Judging from the high efficiency of the cooperation between the two sides in the MPC-75 project, the new project will no longer have to suffer from the pain of many countries, as for the problem that NATO countries cannot cooperate with the Republic in the development of military equipment, if Nima wants to solve it, it is still possible to bypass it.
The German MM company is not afraid of difficulties and dangers to find AVIC Southwest, so we AVIC Southwest must not turn a blind eye!
If you want to say that the replacement of the A400M project, it must be paid attention to, at the critical time node of 94 years, the original FLA project four giants have gone three, and the previous face If Germany did not drag the project down for a year or two in 94, then there will definitely be no A400M aircraft behind.
Now it is definitely a good thing that Germany will also get out of this project, no matter whether MM and AVIC Southwest can come together happily in the end, this gesture must be put on a posture, as long as the Germans see enough bright future, they will definitely withdraw from the FLA.
There is every reason to believe that without the last efforts of the Germans to maintain the FLA project, naturally the A400M of this plane will be gone directly, as for the success or failure of the cooperation between MM and AVIC Southwest in the future, that is another matter, anyway, now we must first kill the A400M.
In the name of cooperation, the projects of industry rivals were killed in the cradle, which was the most common trick used by the Yankees against our Republic, such as the cooperation McDonnell Douglas 82 killed the Yun 10, and the cooperation FT-8 killed the Spey ship gas turbine that the Republic originally planned to introduce, cooperation....
Anyway, this kind of loss to the republic is definitely a lot, so now Yang Hui is also a lot of losses, probably has the feeling of becoming a good doctor after a long illness, and now I have to learn the tricks of the Yankees, see if I can kill the A400M, if it can be done, it will be better.
After quickly making up his mind, Yang Hui at this time also made an expression that we were very interested in: "Hey! It turned out to be the new generation of tactical transport aircraft project that you cooperated with Europe before, and we know about this, how? Now you, Germany, are also planning to withdraw from cooperation and then come out on your own? ”
Yes, Yang Hui's words can be regarded as talking about the sadness of the Germans, which has attracted all kinds of bitterness: "It's not! You see that this project started from 82, and has been delayed until now that the aircraft positioning is still being discussed, and now it has been 94 years, and we also see that due to the long delay before, in order to be able to get the aircraft quickly, it is not recommended to introduce the An-70 transport aircraft to make small design improvements, after which everyone can quickly finalize and deliver, but the British don't know how to drop, they don't agree not to say, and they want to purchase C-130 directly, you tell me what this is like! ”
I really didn't expect the Germans to hit the idea of pressing 70, it's really interesting these years, you Germany went to use a former Soviet transport aircraft project as a treasure to promote it in many Western European countries, and also prepare to resurrect this thing into a FLA project, which is really enough.
