"The first way, now is still according to the normal price of the purchase of fighters and supporting engines, and so on until the turbofan 12B engine matures, we will upgrade the UAE JF-18 fighter power system as soon as possible, and the replacement engine may have two-thirds of its life, at this time we can recycle the turbofan 12A engine that still has a certain life, but considering that it may be the first overhaul time of the engine at that time, so the recycling price will not be too high, It is estimated that the recycling price of up to one engine is only about $1 million. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

This is the case with the price of second-hand goods, not to mention the second-hand engine that is about to face the first overhaul, such a price can be given to about 1 million US dollars, which is already quite conscientious, and then an engine in the southwest of AVIC will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for overhaul, but it can be processed for the domestic army without losing money, after all, the domestic army generally does not spend a lot of money on the early purchase of 18 series fighters to upgrade, most of the domestic aircraft choose to directly purchase new aircraft to use, The old machine still uses the turbofan 12A series engine, as long as the second-hand turbofan 12A is cost-effective enough, it will definitely save a lot of money.

However, one of the most important problems now, with the production of the turbofan 12b engine, the turbofan 12a engine will inevitably be discontinued, and a number of second-hand engines with two-thirds of the life will continue to be available, which can almost effectively alleviate the production capacity problem of the turbofan 12 series engine.

However, considering that the price of the UAE to purchase the turbofan 12a engine is 5 million US dollars, after using one-third of the life, it can only be sold at a low price of 1 million per yuan.

Ponder for a moment: "I understand what it means, but the price of this recycling is really a bit low, let's listen to the second solution first, maybe this second solution is more suitable for us in the UAE, anyway, it's not impossible." ”

Yes, I really have to listen to the second plan before I am willing, but in Yang Hui's personal opinion, the cost gap between the first plan and the second plan is not too big, but the statement is different, and it depends on whether the UAE can turn this corner.

"Well, let's talk about the second solution, the second solution we don't sell the engine, but instead sell the engine to the UAE, the price is charged according to the number of hours the engine is used, the UAE can choose to stop renting the engine at any time, this solution can solve a lot of unnecessary trouble. For example, engine maintenance, maintenance work, such as engine life assessment, and even if the aircraft crashes due to the engine, as long as the results of the investigation are confirmed, we will also compensate the UAE for the corresponding losses. ”

In a thousand words, this is very simple, in fact, Yang Hui took out the Rolls-Royce company after World War II after the gray falcon engine military to civilian that set from the new, Rolls-Royce after the war war military orders plummeted, the engine production capacity needs to be solved urgently, so the civilian engine market is the only way out, but before this Rolls-Royce actually rarely involved the civilian market, and the gray falcon engine at that time in terms of price, use cost is not as good as Pratt & Whitney wasp series air-cooled engine.

In this case, Rolls-Royce chose to enter the civil engine market in the form of engine leasing, and the new model was just right under the specific historical conditions at that time, so Rolls-Royce's Gray Falcon engine entered the field of civil engines, and since then a supergiant in the field of civil aircraft engines has been born.

Now also facing a special situation, in Yang Hui's view, the use of leasing to supply the UAE turbofan 12A engine is also a good choice, although the two methods of the UAE to pay the same amount of money, but under the same circumstances, the UAE to use the leasing method to save too much, so Yang Hui is actually more optimistic about this plan.

It's a pity that the UAE is still not satisfied with this method, although it is relatively good to know that this is indeed relatively good, but when I think of a super oil bully like the UAE actually relying on renting engines for military fighter jets, is this a slap in the face? We've never been so stumbling!

Frowning, he exhaled heavily, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still felt that these two options were inappropriate: "Although both options are more constructive, much better than scrapping the replaced engine, I want to ask, is there any other solution to the problem?" ”

In the face of such a customer, Yang Hui, as a seller, has no choice, who makes this order from the United Arab Emirates too big, even if the skin of the mouth is worn out, these uncles must be explained, if this order is scrapped, where will the prototype development cost of the two fifth-generation aircraft in the southwest of AVIC come from?

If you really want the entire head office to tighten your belts to support the development of the fifth-generation aircraft, Yang Hui, the general manager, will not be far from getting out of class.

"If you want to talk about other plans, we don't have a concrete and feasible plan for the time being, but we are about to go to the scientific research and production center over there, you might as well visit first and then talk about these other problems, as long as we both determine the purchase intention, I think we can always find a solution to the problem."

With the arrival of the convoy at the United Aero Engine Company base in Pingba, the scene became lively, also at the gate of the whole machine manufacturing base, the freight cars on the other side of the highway have lined up in a long line, obviously these are other factories for the assembly plant to do supporting production.

"These should be the transport fleet for the production of supporting parts for the factory, now United Aero Engine Company produces at least 300 aero engines of various types every year, so the current production capacity has been relatively tight, tomorrow we will go to visit the turbofan 12a engine production line, when the time can see the aero engine production and assembly process, and we are now going to the engine research and design institute, just behind this large industrial area, let's go."

After more than 10 years of integration and optimization, the scientific research and design units of United Aero Engine Company have had a good tacit understanding, and the Liyang Plant and the 0112 Institute have almost achieved the state of "cohabitation", and the combination of the factory should be the best in the country at present.
