Chapter 811: Dumbfounded
To be able to follow the normal procedures, of course, it is very simple, and soon the contractor production qualification review of all subsystem components was completed in less than half a month, plus some of the aircraft's systems are directly purchased from abroad, such as the MPC-75's avionics are purchased in France, so the French will get stuck?
And some German-made subsystems are also a lot, so finally entered the most critical aircraft assembly quality control review stage, although the visit to the assembly workshop is largely a bit secret, but considering that the United Passenger Aircraft Company is directly manufacturing civil airliners, it is good to make it public, anyway, there is no impermeable wall in the world. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
So when a team of French people landed in Chang'an City, it was first very interesting to see two completely different scenes, a runway divides the local industry into two different appearances, on one side is the Soviet assembly plant built with the support of the Soviet Union for decades, after so many years of use and wind and rain erosion, the old-fashioned reinforced concrete plant finally looks dilapidated from the outside, although vaguely I also saw a large aircraft with four engines walking down the assembly plant, But it always gives people a sense of gloom.
After looking at the factory building of Xifei, this group of French people was happy from the bottom of their hearts, as if they were seeing the entire aviation industry of the Republic ten years later, they were so dilapidated, so in a good mood, if you want to look at the white buildings on the other side of the runway, you will naturally be able to experience the feeling of a roller coaster.
Why is it upset? Of course, that's because the new plant of the United Passenger Aircraft Company is really too awesome, first of all, at first glance, the plant of the United Passenger Aircraft Company itself is much better than the reinforced concrete plant of Xifei, and the use of the most commonly used steel structure workshop in later generations, and only this design can make the area of the plant so magnificent, and this kind of large enough plant can accommodate the installation of a large pulsating assembly line specially designed for the MPC-75 passenger aircraft.
A large pulsating assembly line occupies an area that is certainly larger than the automobile assembly line, although it is said that when the final assembly is carried out, the large finished structural parts of the aircraft are directly installed such as wings, fuselage frame segments, landing gear, etc., and many of these components have been pre-assembled into large components, which is more similar to the segmented shipbuilding method in the shipbuilding industry, and this large finished structural parts can actually be said to be 'segmented'.
In order to ensure that the 'segmented' production efficiency of these aircraft is more efficient enough to keep up with the needs of the aircraft final assembly line, they also use pulsating integrated assembly lines for mass production, but due to the extensive division of labor of the MPC-75, these 'segmented' pulsating final assembly is naturally not visible on the side of United Passenger Aircraft.
But it can be said very responsibly that the pulsating assembly line of the whole aircraft also needs to use a number of supporting pulsating assembly lines for the production of 'segmented', but the real most stimulating thing is that the pulsating assembly line of the final assembly of the aircraft is the most awesome, after all, the size of an MPC-75 is definitely not small, the length of the fuselage of the first station assembly alone has reached 32 meters long, and the entire MPC-75 pulsating assembly line is the first time in the world to build and use, and the station is up to 7.
This also means that after removing the adjacent distance between each station, even if the aircraft is connected to the end of the zero distance, the length of the production line needs to reach 200 meters, and the fact is that there is absolutely a large distance between the stations for the personnel to pass and the safety of the aircraft, and finally the length of the pulsating assembly line of MPC-75 reaches 300 meters upward, in order to effectively control the length of the production line, finally had to choose to use the U-shape to arrange the final assembly line, and the length is a U-shaped arrangement, This is about the appearance of an ordinary 400-meter circular runway with one end of the ring cut off.
And this is only the length of the assembly line, supporting the pulsating production line is not only the assembly line, but also the parts warehouse and other fragments, so the area of the entire plant is absolutely able to reach the size of a modern playground equipped with a standard 400-meter circular runway, think about what it is like to be in this huge plant.
Just when the French walked into the factory with Tang Changhong, the MPC-75 pulsating assembly line that had just officially started the production line for half a month had already begun to work, and a pulsating interval between each station was 4 hours, and the current MPC-75 production line was 9 hours a day, 4 hours at noon, 4 hours in the afternoon, and 1 hour was used as some problems in the middle, such as special conditions at a certain station, which needed to be delayed.
In general, now the MPC-75 aircraft pulsating assembly line pulsates twice a day, 3.5 days can be assembled off the assembly line of an aircraft, a month can directly complete the production of 8-9 aircraft, to be honest, this speed is really not very good-looking, the old production line used abroad can also achieve such efficiency in a month with full horsepower, and even exceeded.
But at this time, the pulsating production line is not the same, 4 hours is the result of the current production is not familiar with the situation, and the middle 3 and 4 stations are actually a station that originally took 5 hours to complete the production of the decomposition and disassembly to arrange, if it is really necessary to start the production with all its might, in the later stage of the 3 and 4 station workers in the production operation after the skill, and then cooperate with the use of job sharing, in fact, 3, 4 two stations can also be combined into a station for production, so that the production line becomes a 6 station design.
The design of 6 stations directly leads to the final assembly of an aircraft can be completed in only 3 days, and at least 10 aircraft can be produced in a month, and then the United Passenger Aircraft Company on the Republic side will start work together with the two pulsating assembly lines of the German MBB company, and the maximum delivery of 16-20 aircraft in a month will be about 200 in a year, and the 600 orders in the reserve can be completed in 3 years of full-speed production.
Of course, MPC-75 will certainly not be able to do 200 orders per year, probably able to reach more than 100 per year, even if it is quite good, when the average two production lines per month is to produce 5-8 orders for the year, but at this time, we must take into account the 600 orders accumulated before, after counting it, you can ensure that the two assembly lines are produced at the regular production rate for 10 years, and after 10 years, who really knows?
Perhaps it will not be time before the final assembly line of the United Passenger Aircraft Company will be changed to produce a new 120-seat MPC passenger aircraft.
Seeing the huge production line in front of him, all kinds of AGV trucks in the middle of the warehouse from the special channel to the designated station, and at the same time the most exciting moment has come, the workers have all temporarily walked to the safe position of the production line, where under the remote control of the unified pulsation management system, the tractor is attached to the tooling of the fixed aircraft.....
Feeling the sudden change of light in the factory, this can't help but make the French in the countryside feel nervous, what is this Nima going to do? The next moment, I found that the original white light had turned an eerie and ominous red, followed by a slight friction between the pulleys and the eight tracks paved on the production line, and the planes on the seven stations of the entire production line moved together.
It's like seeing a ghost, the French widened his eyes and said that he couldn't understand what kind of rhythm this was at all, and he could still produce planes like this? I haven't seen this at all, but it looks really tall, what Airbus Boeing McDonnell Douglas, you are all scumbags! (To be continued.) )
