"How? Didn't we win state support for the P-75 project? As for the wide-body passenger aircraft project over there in the magic capital, it seems that this is not our business, people have the confidence to mix into the wide-body passenger aircraft market, although we are not capable, but we can only do our best to help on the side, this 80,000-ton press can be regarded as our effort. ”

Only Yang Hui can say this kind of thing, and what he says is still so reasonable, but it is definitely impossible to say that Tang Changhong will believe this nonsense.

Stretched out his hand and pointed at Yang Hui, his face was full of disbelief: "Anyway, it should be your idea to let the magic capital go to the wide-body airliner this time!" I'll admit it's a good idea, and I know that you must have other considerations in mind, and you can't just get them to abandon the narrow-body mainline airliner project, right? ”

This can be regarded as guessing what Yang Hui thinks in his heart, the reason why he kindly supports the Modu Factory to engage in the wide-body intercontinental airliner project this time is really well thought out.

Find a quiet seat and sit down, and don't mind telling all of this: "We won the domestic narrow-body trunk airliner this time, not only squeezing out McDonnell Douglas's latest -90 in our domestic market, but even the chain effect brought by this will directly affect the international market of the -90 aircraft." This not only has our P-75 squeezed the downstream space in the 100-seat market, but Airbus and Boeing will definitely take this opportunity to vigorously suppress it, maybe in a few years, McDonnell Douglas's narrow-body trunk airliner will have to shrink completely, and we can take advantage of the situation! ”

Anyway, in a few years, the first basic version of the P-75 will almost be put into operation, and the improved version with increased passenger capacity will also be improving, and it will be good news that there will be one less opponent at that time.

There is still this layer of consideration in it, and it feels a little reasonable to think about it: "This will indeed have a great impact on McDonnell Douglas, as for being able to completely squeeze out McDonnell Douglas's narrow-body trunk airliner business, although I don't have much hope, I also know that McDonnell Douglas will have a worse time in the future." ”

McDonnell Douglas having a hard time? Jokes, starting from McDonnell Douglas took out -82 to cooperate with the Republic, at that time, McDonnell Douglas civil machine part of the "re-ye" ♀dǐng" ♀diǎn "♀ small" ♀ said, .◇.⊕os_(); There was no good time, and it was from that time until he was finally acquired by Boeing, he never got better, otherwise how could Yang Hui definitely support the move and let China talk about the wide-body passenger aircraft cooperation project with McDonnell Douglas.

Under the circumstances of this and the other, Yang Hui no longer even has to worry about whether the new Boeing will take out the McDonnell Douglas 90 passenger plane and throw it directly to the Modu Factory when the P-75 passenger plane develops to the 120-150 seat class, so that the Modu Factory will take the McDonnell Douglas 90 passenger plane and fight to the death in the domestic market with Southwest Science and Industry in the new century, thus missing a good opportunity for development.

After all, history has changed at this time, the Modu factory is no longer related to the narrow-body trunk airliner, at least at the government level, the narrow-body airliner business has been fully assigned to the United Passenger Aircraft Company, even if Boeing wants to do this in the future, the Modu factory does not have the ability to take over the McDonnell Douglas 90, not to mention that the government leaders at that time will definitely not believe in the Modu factory anymore.

Subsequently, he once again counted the benefits of letting the magic capital to engage in wide-body passenger aircraft to Southwest Science and Industry: "This is a thousand ways and ten thousand, all of which are beneficial aspects of the current P-75 series narrow-body passenger aircraft, we dug a pit this time to let the magic capital factory to engage in wide-body passenger aircraft, do you think they can finally rely on this road to get out of their way?" This is impossible at all, whether it is the McDonnell Douglas 11 or the McDonnell Dalwellall 12 under development, they are not suitable for the development trend of wide-body passenger aircraft in the new century, and the three engines will eventually be abandoned by the market. ”

Now Yang Hui asserts that the three-engine passenger machine will be abandoned by the market, although it feels unreliable, but the fact is that in the future civil aircraft market, twin-engine wide-body passenger aircraft is the trend.

But now the good thing is that Tang Changhong chose to believe Yang Hui's judgment, which is related to the fact that among the newly developed passenger aircraft in the world, there are fewer and fewer three-engine designs, and the orders for three-engine passenger aircraft in production are becoming less and less than twin and four-engine aircraft.

In other words, the -11 three-engine wide-body airliner cooperated by Modu and McDonnell Douglas is destined to be abandoned by the market in the future, and after they can produce at most twenty or thirty aircraft, it will definitely fail? Right! ”

Although Tang Changhong believes that the cooperation between the Modu Factory and McDonnell Douglas will fail due to aircraft design reasons, which is different from the failure of the project in the past when McDonnell Douglas and Boeing merged and directed, on the whole, the result is directly to one result: the project is doomed to failure.

"It is true that we have lost the wide-body airliner project now, it is only temporary, and there is still a chance to start over in the future, and we don't have the time, energy, and technology to engage in wide-body airliners now, so let's talk about it slowly! This time, the Modu factory cooperated with McDonnell Douglas, and we only needed a little subcalculation to get these wide-body passenger aircraft research and development experience from McDonnell Douglas. ”

When the last Modu Factory cooperated with McDonnell Douglas-82, these guys only focused on the means of production, and let the most important design materials be dusted, until the two sides broke down, McDonnell Douglas destroyed all the materials, and everyone suddenly realized that they regretted not being at the beginning.

Although I don't know if McDonnell Dalbah will provide design information, but the means of production will definitely be available, Yang Hui will take the high-level route to remind the following to make a copy of the -11 production materials provided by McDonnell Douglas, that is the best.

When the AR-21 was launched by the last face of the Magic Factory, the design of the aircraft was exactly the same as that of the McDonnell Douglas 82, and it could even be said that it was a shortened version of the fuselage of the McDouglas 82, which had nothing to do with the McDonnell Dalnot 82 aircraft produced by the previous Magic Factory.

Hearing that Yang Hui hit the idea of the failure of the cooperation between the Modu Factory and McDonnell Douglas, this kind of scheming is simply frightening: "If you can get the means of production of the -11 passenger aircraft produced by the Modu and McDonnell Douglas, this is indeed some good things, although McDonnell Douglas's wide-body airliner is not ideal in terms of engine layout design, but there are still many other aspects worthy of our reference, and accumulate experience for our own design of wide-body airliners in the future." ”

Tang Changhong was able to figure out this, Yang Hui said that he was very satisfied, and it was already very rare to be able to keep up with his whimsical ideas at this time.

"That's right, McDonnell Douglas's wide-body airliner technology still has some things worth learning from, such as the 5.6-meter fuselage diameter design and mold of the -11 airliner, which is very useful after getting it, and we are now going to launch an 80,000-ton die forging hydraulic press, to put it bluntly, it is for the magic capital cooperation -11 matching. Then, the fuselage bulkhead of the -11 has to be forged by us, so that we can forge the fuselage bulkhead of the wide-body airliner, and there are other subsequent production processing process materials, and the large-diameter fuselage technology in the wide-body airliner is no less important than the engine, we can master it! ”

"It really makes sense, we can solve the design of large fuselage partitions through guò methods, and we can also take the opportunity to master these things like the main beam! It's a big deal, and there's finally hope for our wide-body airliners. ”

Just when Tang Changhong was reading the words, Yang Hui still had a sentence in his heart that did not come out: as long as the 5.6-meter-diameter fuselage compartment of the -11 wide-body airliner was broken, it also means that McDonnell Douglas carefully built the -17 transport aircraft for the US Air Force is not so mysterious, after all, the fuselage bulkhead of the -17 is completely developed from McDonnell Douglas's wide-body airliner!
