Chapter 517: Fill the thrust vacancy

The last news at the press conference did not surprise the reporters present, after all, these reporters did not know what Southwest Science and Industry was going to announce, and after listening to it, they all thought that Southwest Science and Industry was ready to take the turbofan 10 engine to Brazil for production.

But after it was the turn to withdraw from the venue, the real sensation began, and other Brazilian aviation industry personnel along the way, and even Northrop also came to join in the fun, Yang Hui was not surprised by this situation, if the Brazilian side was not provoked, then there would be a problem.

has been slowly walking in front of everyone, and for the curious babies next to them are coldly ignored, after returning to the accommodation, this is the Brazilian aviation industry company here, the Brazilian government officials in charge of industry revealed a piece of news.

"We do have this kind of plan, regarding the production of turbofan 10 engines in Brazil, we have also obtained the approval of the domestic military industry import and export management department, that is, as long as we can negotiate the project, there will be no official force from the Republic of China to stop it, but we still have some requirements on the side of Southwest Science and Industry, and whether it can be completed in the end depends on whether the two sides are willing or not."

After saying that, he didn't say a word more, and went straight to the room, and the secretary who stayed behind was ready to shut the curious Brazilian children out of the door, but he still had to leave a sentence or two, at least not too pretending.

"We don't ask for much, but this also requires your Brazilian government to personally send heavyweights to negotiate, and there should only be about two to three days for rough framework negotiations, if the time is over, then this project should not be talked about."

When the door was finally closed, this side finally breathed a sigh of relief, this Brazilian really can't stand the teasing, isn't it just the local production of an aero engine. In fact, there is no need for such an over-interpretation, and this is still an older generation of turbofan engines, and the most important thing

"Mr. Yang, do you think Brazil will take the bait if we do this? After all, this Brazil will not be so stupid, this aero engine is obviously something they can't play with. ”

"That's not the case, you have to have full confidence in the turbofan 10 engine first. Think about it again if there is the ability to produce aero engines, Brazil can become a real aviation manufacturing power, now the world can produce advanced aero engines only the United Nations ******, Canada, Japan, Sweden, Yugoslavia seems to be able to produce some engines, if Brazil can also produce, that is the tenth country in the world that can produce aero engines. ”

Yang Hui is bragging nonsense here, and he is quite confident in this project, after all, an ambitious country like Brazil can also be regarded as one of the best, not only in the aviation industry large-scale investment. Even the more money-burning space industry has the heart to try, and now the China-Brazil resource satellite, which has been signed with the Republic, the space launch vehicle and the launch site in cooperation with Germany, all show that Brazil is also an ambitious country.

At the same time, the Brazilian government is also boiling, although the Brazilian state-owned enterprises have been in a bit sluggish in recent years, but the overall economy of Brazil is also growing well, plus this time from Northrop cashed out a sum of money, the Brazilian government was still thinking about how to invest the money. I didn't expect a pillow to be delivered here.

"Brazil's aero-engine industry now needs to be developed step by step in order to match the overall level of our own aviation industry. This time, Southwest Science and Industry is willing to cooperate with us to put the engine in our local production, which needs to firmly seize the opportunity. So, I ordered"

When the two sides met again, the negotiating team grew again, and it was possible to start the project talks after knowing the negotiating leaders sent by the Brazilian side. All the southwest science and engineering personnel nodded silently in their hearts, and being able to send a country's minister of industry, coupled with the big leadership of the army, showed that Brazil had no resistance to this project.

As a free and democratic official of a Western country, the efficiency is naturally very high, and I can't wait to reconfirm whether the southwest science and industry is really preparing to produce the turbofan 10 engine in Brazil.

And Yang Hui also became very patient at this time and gave a very detailed answer: "Yes, there is this intention." In the future, the Brazilian side will produce JF-17 in large quantities, and we will definitely be able to meet all the needs of JF-17 by building a production line. However, the production of our turbofan 10 engine alone will definitely not allow the company to continue to develop, so we need to find ways to continue the development of this company, such as the power of Embraer's current small regional jet EMB-145. ”

That's right, the reason why the Southwest Science and Industry wants to take out the turbofan 10 this time is also to fancy the regional airliner manufacturing in Brazil will flourish in the near future, since it can predict the huge market in the future, then Yang Hui can not give up this market.

The assembly line of the turbofan 10 engine deceived the Brazilian government, but the core engine of this engine is not high, and it is naturally not possible to change to a civilian engine, it is already more or less overlapping with the CG-2000 engine, no matter how stupid Southwest Science and Industry is, it will not do this kind of repetitive construction, fortunately, the current Brazilian aerospace industry does not need to use the CG-2000 level engine.

As far as the first jet engine that Embraer is preparing to develop, the EMB-145 is a small aircraft carrying 37-55 passengers, and the engine used is also a small turbofan engine of only 3 tons, and this level of civil turbofan engine is also the last vacancy of the civil aviation engine line of Southwest Science and Industry below 10 tons.

Prior to this, Southwest Science and Industry has a TFE-731 engine covering the 1-2.5 ton level, although this thing is a product of Garrett Company, but now it is responsible for assembling and copycat Zhuzhou Factory, 608 are all owned by Southwest Science and Industry, plus the current Southwest Science and Industry has lit up the planetary gear transmission technology, with this technology to the cottage 731 engine to make a skin, this thing is properly Southwest Science and Industry's independent intellectual property products.

Similarly, according to the serial design scheme of the CG-2000 engine, it is expected to be in the thrust range of 6-10 tons, and this inevitably has a thrust gap, as an aspiring aero engine manufacturer, it must fill this gap. However, now there is a very grim fact in front of Yang Hui, and there is no need to use this kind of engine in the existing aircraft development projects of the entire republic.

For civil aircraft of the 40 to 50-seat class like the EMB-145, the Republic already has various models of the Yun-7 that flew westward, but this aircraft uses a turbo engine, and the Republic's demand for aircraft of this level is too small, and there is no possibility of relying on domestic demand to pull the engine to develop.

In this case, Yang Hui had to find another way to fill this vacancy, Brazil's EMB-145 market share in the previous plane has nearly 1,000 sorties, if this aircraft can be equipped with a 3-5.5 ton thrust turbofan engine prepared by Southwest Science and Industry, it must be a great thing.

"Do you think it's feasible to power the EMB-145 airliner that we're working on? After all, this is only an aircraft project in the market research and demonstration stage, so I made up my mind to start the development of an engine."

The last EMB-145 passenger plane was a project unveiled at the Paris Air Show in 8.9, and this plane is now also in 8.9 years, only a month or two before the opening of the Paris Air Show.

"No, we've done a lot of preliminary market research, and all the major airlines that have used our EMB-120 aircraft are interested in the new generation of 145 aircraft, and we are ready to unveil the project at this Paris Air Show, and if we can develop a high-performance engine for our aircraft now, Embraer would welcome it."
