Chapter 113: The Historical Background of the T-30
The real drama is coming, in fact, the aircraft company is still easy to do, to others to do OEM, to other aircraft manufacturing enterprises to provide related spare parts, and even to specialize in the field of flight control digital systems, anyway, these things will be used in the future, as long as the indicators can meet the international flight standards of Europe and the United States, you can get it to the market to sell, whether it is civilian or military, anyway, this aircraft company has an international military aircraft license recognized by the United States, the problem is not very big.
This model will succeed in future generations of Korea, so why can't I? And the most important thing is that this era is just the traditional avionics system out of the market, the development of new avionics systems based on large-scale integrated circuits and ultra-large-scale integrated circuits is in the ascendant, completely in its infancy, this time to enter the future avionics system officially the best period, if this time does not enter, and so those international giants have carved up the market, there is nothing to do with him Ling Shizhe, just those frightening patent barriers and numerous patent pools and patent traps, can toss you to death.
Take a closer look at South Korea's T-50 trainer OEM project in the 21st century, you will find that South Korea does not have much technical content in addition to the aircraft parts production, aircraft assembly, etc., all the key core technologies used in the aircraft radar, avionics system, flight control software, aero engine, etc. are all in the hands of the Yankees. Not to mention the era of the 70s, when all kinds of new aviation technologies were in the ascendant.
Ling Shizhe believes that as long as we firmly follow the successful experience of later generations, he does not believe that there will be no way to take a path of aviation development that suits him, as long as my new avionics system is successful, the Yankees and other Western powers will throw off one of the three shackles on China's aircraft company, so what are the remaining two? The remaining two shackles, one of which is the aero engine, the other is the final sales interpretation of the F-4 fighter, the engine is the most important shackle of the three shackles, as long as this shackle is lifted, all the problems will be solved, and the third shackle does not need to be solved, he will automatically untie it.
As we all know, the Yankees sell goods all over the world, whether they are military or civilian, and they will attach various political conditions that are difficult for other countries to accept, even if it is his hardcore allies Britain and Israel, and this additional political condition has contributed to the final right to explain the sale of F-4 fighters imposed on Ling Shizhe by the United States.
Assuming that Ling Shizhe finally breaks through the new avionics system and aero-engine power system, then the third shackle will not exist, and he can engage in engines and avionics, won't he bypass the F-4 fighter and redesign a new fighter? For example, the Su-27 fighter, when the third shackle hair is useless.
Ling Shizhe's overall plan for the future is three major blocks, the new avionics system, aero engine and Su-27, the avionics system is not a big problem for him, the avionics system architecture of the future generations, whether it is military or civilian, its architecture module is completely mature, there is no need for Ling Shizhe to design and research, as long as they follow their successful experience, the advanced avionics system is just a matter of time.
To put it bluntly, in addition to the technical problems of software and hardware, the biggest problem is the problem of design ideas, as long as the idea is right, the various software and hardware problems encountered are not big problems for Ambrera Company, they are originally engaged in this, if Ling Shizhe can't solve it, others can't solve it.
But aero engines are difficult, he is not Ling Shizhe's specialty, Ambrera has never done this thing, no technology and no experience, no accumulation, semiconductors you still have accumulation, this thing Ambrera is not at all, just where to start will make you blind.
Seeing that everyone in the room was looking at him with intent, Ling Shizhe said solemnly: "How much do any of you know about the historical background of the T-30 engine?" ”
……
Seeing that they all shook their heads, Ling Shizhe smiled and said, "It seems that you don't know, do you want me to popularize science with all of you?" ”
Seeing him look like a teacher, Wang Haihua couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "Xiaoling, you Lao Dou just asked, did this American do anything to us in the transfer of T-30 engine technology?" Didn't ask about its historical background. ”
"If you care about this, then I'll tell you, they didn't do anything technically, and all the information on the T-30 engine was handed over to us by the Americans without reservation."
"This ...... T--30 engine Ling Shao, don't you say that it is a very good big push engine, since it is a big push or so good, it stands to reason that the Americans cannot give us this technology, even if it is impossible to give it to us at all, how can it be given to us without reservation? Wang Haihua was stunned, not only was everyone in his room confused, but he couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Yankees.
Seeing their appearance as two whites, Ling Shizhe laughed, and Foster saw his boss laughing on the side, and said, "Boss, you must know the secret here, does this have anything to do with what you said about the historical background of the T-30 engine?" ”
"Foster, you're right, the fact that the Americans are willing to transfer the T-30 engine to us really has a lot to do with its historical background."
"Tell us about it."
"Well, you take a look first, from the name of the T-30 engine, you should feel that the code name of this engine is not the same as the code name of the previous American engine, you must know that the code name given to the engine by the United States is the same as the code name given to the fighter, which starts with the letter "F", and the F-100, F-101, F-303 and other engines being developed in the United States all start with F, and what about the T-30? It starts with a "t", do you know why? ”
……
"Don't understand? Well, I continued, except that the engine starts with the letter "F", all combat aircraft in the United States, except for bombers and attack aircraft, also start with the letter "F", such as F-4, F-5, F-86 Sabre, etc., these high-mobility air superiority fighters specially used to compete for air supremacy The United States also starts with the letter "F", but what kind of aircraft does it start with "T"? ”
"Trainers."
"That's right, it's a trainer aircraft, in the American military aircraft naming standards, only the trainer aircraft starts with T, and the T-30 engine starts with F, and it starts with T, which shows that the T-30 engine is not an American standard engine, and this is only because the T-30 engine is only an experimental product, not as a standard equipment for F-4 fighters."
"What test specimen ......"
……
……
Everyone was stunned, everyone was stunned by the news brought by Ling Shizhe, everyone didn't expect that such an excellent engine was actually just a test product, it was the engine that was not theirs, which greatly subverted their three views.
Bang! Lin Wencong slapped the table and said angrily: "I'll just say, this Yankee will be so kind that he will hand over their standard engine technology to us, and it turned out to be just an experiment after a long time." ”
Lin Wencong's words made Allison, Foster, Glover Nien and others look very embarrassed, they are all authentic Americans, their own country's government plays such a hand, they stand in the middle and feel very embarrassed, I don't know how to persuade, one side is their own country, one side is their own boss, they have been working for Ambrera Company for many years, they have long regarded the company as their own home, and the interests of the boss Ling Shizhe have long been linked, and now their own government is playing such a hand, It also hurt them deeply from the heart.
Seeing the embarrassed expressions of several people, Ling Shizhe relieved them and said, "What, T-30 engine technology is what I requested." ”
"What did you ask for, boss?"
"I'll tell you the truth, they originally planned to sell Spey engines to two companies, one is the mainland, and the other is Taiwan/Bay, so that the two sides of the strait will continue to fight to the death, but I don't like Spey, so I asked for the T-30 as a test product, and the reason I gave them was that aviation power electronics."
"Avionics?" Everyone was shocked again, they had heard Ling Shizhe talk about the new avionics before, this thing is high-end enough, and now there is another aviation power electronic equipment, what kind of high-end thing is this?
Seeing their puzzled expressions, Ling Shizhe didn't explain to them, but said to Alison: "Alison, do you remember the ECU driving computer we built a few years ago?" ”
"I remember the boss, ECU was originally used as the future business focus of our company, but what I didn't expect was that although the ECU we successfully got out, it could not be installed in the car, because its volume was too large, and we lacked real-time data of the car engine at that time, so we could not put it into the commercial application stage. After several years of data collection on various engines, great results have been achieved. However, if the boss wants to be really put into use, in addition to the constraints of various software and hardware, it will take at least 20 years to collect the data. ”
"Let's not do it slowly, we have time." Ling Shizhe comforted.
ECU driving computer is not a profound thing, hardware and software are easy to solve, the real difficulty lies in the collection of real-time data of various engines, without these data ECU is zero circle is useless, such as the future generation of EFI engine, for example, if you do not have a long-term and comprehensive collection of engine fuel injection data, do you know how much fuel should be injected into the cylinder of the engine by the EFI system is the most economical and efficient?
I don't know, I don't know at all, you only after a long-term data collection, you know how much oil to inject into the cylinder is the most appropriate, the famous Bosch company is the world's largest supplier of automotive electronic parts, almost all European and American car manufacturers look at his face, what is Bosch's biggest reliance, is not his massive driving database? Bosch has collected the basic data of the engine since 75 years, and has accumulated a massive database over the past few decades to produce a variety of precision auto parts, and European and American automobile companies have bought Bosch's automotive precision electronic parts or software and hardware, and then to do power matching for the cars produced by their own companies.
Relying on the driving database this trick, Bosch has become the world's largest, most powerful and most powerful auto parts supplier in later generations, and Bosch has eaten a big fat every year just by selling the right to use various data, and after the ECU driving computer development "failed", Ling Shizhe decided to learn from Bosch, decided to specialize in the field of driving data, established an ECU database, and spent decades collecting various driving data. In the future, the ECU division will replace Bosch as the world's largest supplier of automotive power parts and power data service provider, which is much more reliable than simply becoming an automobile manufacturer.
Today's automobile field, has already been carved up by the major automobile giants, there is no room for Ling Shizhe to intervene, and the future of the continent is the world's last and largest automobile market, but want to engage in the production of domestic automobiles, not to have technology to solve, no heavenly background, to engage in the automobile manufacturing industry you don't want to think, but Bosch successful experience to Ling Shizhe gave great inspiration, since can not be directly engaged in automobile manufacturing, why can't you engage in auto parts services like Bosch?
Not to mention that with the increasing maturity of the automobile market and the increasingly fierce competition in the automobile market, the automobile industry has long passed the golden era of profiteering, but only Bosch company, which provides data services to major automobile companies, has made a profit.
This long-standing gold panning story is the same, a long time ago, gold was found in the San Francisco area of the United States, so people came to San Francisco to dig for gold, but there is a gold digger who is different, others are digging for gold, but what about him? But you can't carry the gold by hand, so many years later, the gold diggers went bankrupt, but he became a millionaire.
From this story, it can be seen that being a gold digger may not make a fortune, but providing services to gold diggers is the most profitable, and the relationship between Bosch and those car companies is not the relationship between gold diggers and basket makers?
So what is the relationship between avionics and ECU electronics? Really, there is actually no difference in principle between avionics systems and driving electronics systems.
