Chapter 754: This is quite efficient
Business talks with government forces involved are actually relatively simple, after the high-level set the tone, the following specific talks are much simpler, although the British BAe146 and MPC-75 are absolutely positioned serious conflicts, but this aircraft is about to be discontinued, the two guys are not the same level of technology, the UK is also happy to say that the MPC-75 airworthiness certification work is all good to say.
But then the CG-2000 engine was a little difficult to do, but fortunately, at this time the republic was still relatively smart, and immediately revealed that it might have to purchase a batch of Boeing 747 passenger aircraft equipped with RB-211 engines, so the situation was naturally alleviated, and the issue of the test certificate of the CG-2000 engine became negotiable, plus there was also some exchange of interests on the German side, and it seemed that the British airworthiness certificate of CG-2000 was solved in this way.
But whether the follow-up can get this airworthiness certificate, this is a little unknown, but one thing can be known is that at least MPC-75 can definitely get the British airworthiness certificate, which is more than a year earlier than the first one in Yang Hui's plan to get the French airworthiness certificate.
However, the airworthiness certificate on the American side must not be said, the CG-2000 engine is absolutely impossible to get, anyway, General Electric's influence in the United States is still quite large, on the contrary, as long as CG-2000 can not get the FAA airworthiness certificate, then the news that the Civil Aviation Administration of the United States allows PMC-75 to operate in the United States has stimulated GM even more.
After all, the MPC-75 only has two engines to choose from, and the CG-2000 cannot be operated in the United States, so the MPC-75 passenger aircraft operating in the United States must only use General Electric's CF-34 engines, which is definitely good news for General Motors.
After a week of negotiations, the situation has become clear, first of all, MPC-75 should be able to get most of the international airworthiness certificates, but CG-2000 engines to get the certificate is a little difficult, Western countries are still strictly guarding in this regard, if you want to make a breakthrough, it can only be said that the revolution has not yet succeeded!
The aircraft can be more assured, then Yang Hui must carefully consider the problem of the engine, CG-2000 is indeed a good engine, such a good opportunity or did not break through the engine test certificate, it must be necessary to appease the R & D test team.
Just right, followed by a lap to 624, seeing that the whole project is still in accordance with the scheduled schedule, Yang Hui immediately said that he will find various ways to get the test certificate, as long as the engine is designed in accordance with the technical indicators, in line with the European civil aviation engine test indicators set at the beginning, even if you can't get the airworthiness certificate, it must give an explanation.
And this statement, naturally, Yang Hui has already thought about it, when the time comes, AVIC Southwest will purchase an MPC-75 business jet, and install this CG-2000 engine, when the time comes, Yang Hui will be the first to take this aircraft, this aspect must not be ambiguous, and this is also the common trick used by latecomers in the civil aircraft industry.
For example, the chief designer of Tupolev in the Soviet Union let his son fly the first jet airliner of the Soviet Union, the Tu-104, to fly the British route for the first time, and even the commercial aviation company of the Republic, which has been criticized, has also had the chairman and deputy general manager personally take the plane to the Zhuhai Air Show to complete the display when the ARJ-21 has not been put into market and official operation.
To show a company's confidence in its own products, it can only be the top management to take the lead and play an exemplary role, otherwise who will put their lives on the aircraft designed by a "hairy boy" who has just entered the industry, this is the reality, and it is an objective factor that must be recognized.
I was a little surprised to find a new situation, at this time, it was rare to see Chief Engineer Wen participate in the CG-2000 test, and the later test work was handed over to Iger, the deputy chief engineer of the Ivchenko Design Bureau, who had become a citizen of the Republic. Fedorović. Kravchenko.
And Yang Hui still has some impressions of this, it seems that according to the development of the previous one, this will eventually become the chief designer of the Ivchenko Design Bureau in 2010, and now it is okay, he has been turned to the Republic to be the chief engineer of the aero engine, which has to be said to be a somewhat gratifying news.
After saying hello, you can see that the relevant staff are still testing around the engine, and there are nearly ten engines fixed on the bench, which is indeed a money-burning project.
CG-2000 as a civil aviation engine, there must be a foreign airworthiness certificate system stuck in the neck, then based on CG-2000 developed QC-160 gas turbine has no such restrictions, also located in the Bashu area of the 420 factory is now also in full swing QC-160 test work.
The first and second batch of technicians who were sent to Pratt & Whitney to participate in the development of the TF-8 gas turbine have returned to the unit, and after confirming that there are no problems, most of them have been assigned to the QC-160 project team, working overtime to rush for time and progress.
The QC-160 is a power system planned for the Navy's new generation of destroyers, and according to the Navy's previous plan, the construction of this class of warships will probably start in 95, and during this period of 92, the Navy has negotiated with Russia the technology contract that needs to be introduced.
This plane did not introduce any windless (Schliky) air defense systems, but only purchased four sets of "Reeve M" medium and long-range air defense systems in one step, although the price is relatively expensive, but fortunately, it has obtained a technical license, and can produce it itself and make some improvements in the future.
And these are all deliberately said to Yang Hui by the navy, and its intention is naturally not to say much, that is, to urge the southwest side of AVIC to step up the development of the QC-160, and to complete all the design and finalization work within five years, so as to ensure that there will be no problems with the power system of the new destroyer and that it can be put into use.
For this kind of requirement, Yang Hui does not feel too much pressure, to say that the aero engine to ship gas turbine, generally speaking, does not need to develop aero engine so much time, even if the 420 factory does not have much relevant experience, it can roughly complete all the design and finalization work in five years.
The premise of all this is that there is no major failure in the aero engine itself, only in this way can we ensure that the gas turbine will not have major problems during the test, fortunately, at this time the CG-2000 has no major problems, more is already out of the final stage, most of them are in accordance with the airworthiness certificate to carry out some targeted data supplementary test work.
All in all, this is because the CG-2000 went on the right path from the beginning, and there was enough money and a lot of testing work in the middle, and there were probably no big problems with the subsequent model derivative design.
When Yang Hui arrived at the 420 factory, according to the statement given by Chief Master Wu, the engine test was normal: "Now the progress is very good, our engine began to run for the first time at the beginning of this year, if there is no big problem in the back, according to the current high-speed propulsion test mode, it is possible to complete the design and finalization work in 93 years, so that we may be able to buy more time, can install the engine on the Navy test ship for a detailed test, as long as the test is passed on the special test ship of the Navy, Then if you want to install it on a destroyer, you really don't have to worry about it. ”
It is indeed a good way to install the special test ship of the Navy for testing, remember that the first special test ship of the Navy of the Republic was in service in 97, if this requirement is put forward now, perhaps the Navy can advance the construction of the project a few years in advance, which can naturally win enough time for the QC-160 to test.
