Chapter 453: The Beginning and the End
A regional airliner designed and manufactured by relying on Xifei's own financing and German loans, which obviously has much to do with the country, but this kind of thing will have different results depending on the occasion, don't you see that the CG-2000 of Southwest Science and Industry now also has to make sacrifices for the interests of the country?
For example, the MPC-75 passenger aircraft project happened to meet the key stall of the United States asking the younger brothers to impose sanctions on the Republic together, followed by the current Modu Aircraft Factory.
The McDonnell Doesnnell Dalwellall 82 airliner project cooperated with McDonnell Douglas was an early success, and the first locally produced Type 82 passenger aircraft was completed in '86, and a publicly-owned double-digit aircraft was produced and delivered at this time in '89.
The most commendable thing is that the Modu Aircraft Factory has manufactured the parts and resold the planes installed in the United States on the McDonnell Douglas assembly line, which can really be said to be out of the limelight and earned some foreign exchange.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the late 80s and early 90s, the Modu Aircraft Factory was definitely the most popular unit in the aviation system of the entire republic. Even Southwest Science and Industry is not known by most people because of its remote geographical location and military manufacturing.
In addition, even this US embargo, it still does not have much impact on the 82 project, and even immediately prepare to expand the scope of cooperation and continue to assemble McDonnell Douglas 90 aircraft, anyway, the future is bright.
After all, not everyone knows that a few years later, McDonnell Douglas and Boeing will merge, and the entire cooperative will eventually go bankrupt. Even if some insiders know that McDonnell Douglas has not been doing well in recent years, they would never have imagined that it would develop into the final state. If you don't do it well, you will turn the disadvantage into an advantage.
For example, most economists will shout: Although McDonnell Douglas has not been doing well in recent years, this has given us more opportunities! McDonnell Douglas will definitely continue to reduce manufacturing costs in the future. More aircraft manufacturing business was transferred to our Modu factory, and the future was really bright at that time.
This was even the last time the face was in place before the merger of the two republics of Boeing McDonnell Donnell Douglas. The mainstream view of the Republic as a whole and even of the international community is also quite reliable.
And at this level, the situation is still developing in the same way, after all, although the butterfly effect brought by Yang Hui is real, but in the manufacture of large civil airliners, its small butterfly wings really can't fan any waves.
This is now the Modu Aircraft Factory, which has shown extraordinary capabilities through cooperation with McDonnell Douglas, and has also outlined a bright future for the whole country.
In contrast, the situation in Xifei over the years has been too watery. The Yun-7 passenger aircraft project, which was strongly supported by the state, was naturally a little disappointed in China because the reliability and maintenance of the products manufactured by Xifei were too low, and the cost of use was too high.
Now, the situation of the jet regional airliner cooperated by Xifei and MBB is not good, and MBB asks to turn the main body of cooperation on the side of the republic into a pure civil aircraft manufacturing unit, in fact, no one paid too much attention to this matter, but until the promising Modu Aircraft Factory stood up and took the initiative to undertake this "confused future" project.
And to say that the MPC-75 project of the previous one ended without a problem, the reason is also because after the incident in the imperial capital. MBB asked the partners of the republic to change to civil aircraft manufacturing units, and the end result was a lot!
As a result, the Modu Aircraft Factory naturally grabbed the project as it wished, and since then it has taken over all the civil jet airliner projects of the entire republic, which can be described as a time of no exception. It is quite necessary to do a big job, and since then it has a three-legged posture with the international civil aviation manufacturing giants.
And this kind of spirit has also run through the entire development career of the Modu Aircraft Factory, and the previous Modu Aircraft Factory also played signboards and slogans after changing the vest in the new century. People want Airbus and Boeing to form a three-legged situation of ABC (the English acronym of COMAC is C), which is absolutely eye-catching.
But. The last Modu Aircraft Factory grabbed the MPC-75 in its hands, but it ignored it and left the entire project to fend for itself.
As for the reasons for this, there are different opinions. However, it can be known that the MPC-75 project is completely out of the hands of the Modu Aircraft Factory, only less than two years, the Modu Aircraft Factory and Airbus have cooperated with Airbus to launch the AE-100 passenger aircraft project, AE-100 in 98 years after the launch, this is the famous ARJ100 regional airliner, these three aircraft and the MPC-75 project in the market positioning is completely no different.
Now, I thought that the MPC-75 project on this plane could have more say because Xifei occupied more share, but the current situation is still not what Yang Hui thought, if Southwest Science and Industry does not intervene in the middle, I am afraid that the MPC-75 project will be difficult to protect.
The MPC-75 project is gone, which will also have a big impact on the CG-2000 engine, after all, the current CG-2000 engine is only the MPC-75 passenger aircraft.
In this way, Yang Hui was also quite worried at this time: "What is the Modu Aircraft Factory going to do?" Isn't it pure chaos to meddle in the MPC-75 project because they're just a production plant and don't have any experience designing aircraft? ”
Yang Hui is still relatively clear about the technical capabilities of the Modu Aircraft Factory, and there must be no problem if you want them to build aircraft, but let them design the aircraft!
The reason why the previous Yun Shi was able to make it was because it was a product of the general battle, and the designers were all transferred from various design units, and after Yun Shi got off the horse, they all disbanded and reported back to their original units. And the last face in that environment let the technicians go back to their respective homes, think about the situation at that time, everyone is poor jingle, where to return
The same is true for this plane, the only difference is that because the air tanker project of the H-6I platform has been launched on this plane, and most of the Yunshi design team has been received by Xifei, so the design ability of the Modu Aircraft Factory on this plane is indeed worrying.
In fact, this point can be clearly seen from the interview with Zhang Zhenzhong, the Chinese chief designer of the company, in order to communicate with the magic capital, in order to communicate with the magic capital, Zhang Zhenzhong, the original words of the people are:
These original materials of McDonnell Douglas 82 are actually very precious, from which a lot of very valuable information can be obtained, such as about the test flight situation, test flight results, test flight improvements, design improvements, etc., but all these materials no one cares, almost no one reads them, and no one digests them. Later, I heard that the team of the Modu Aircraft Design Institute went to do other things with Yun Shi's dismount, and when I arrived in Modu for the third time, some of the backbones of the original design institute were gone, and I don't know where they went.
These are all talking about the situation of the previous plane, but this plane is not much better, a kind of attitude to do projects, when a manufacturing plant is indeed no problem, but if you want to have research and development capabilities, forget it, from the root, this is not what the Modu Aircraft Factory can do.
"Yes, yes, we also said this to the Ministry of Aviation Industry, but the above just won't let go. And what the magic capital said was also very shameless, they even wanted to take over the entire MPC-75 R&D team, saying that our MPC-75 R&D team was originally seconded from the magic capital, and now it is only natural to transfer the team there. ”
Speaking of which, Yang couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of old blood, if this magic capital wants to hack the scientific research team together, just say it, and now what is the development team of MPC-75 was originally seconded from the magic capital, so he is not afraid of laughing off his big teeth.
At that time, the designers of the Modu Aircraft Factory were not drawn from various designs, and then Yun Shi ran out of the project and was about to be disbanded, but fortunately, Xifei had a tanker project, so that these technical teams could be retained, and then they survived until the MPC-75 was launched.
Until now, the demon capital is embarrassed to say that this team was seconded by him, and it is also a shame that it is thick-skinned enough. (To be continued.) )
