The annual output of 3,000 units can basically meet the demand of domestic airlines, that is to say, if Dongchen only produces DC1-1 aircraft engines in the early stage, then all domestic 737 and 320 series aircraft can be reloaded within one year, which is of great significance to domestic airlines.

The biggest competition of airlines comes from domestic routes, first of all, domestic route travelers can choose too many ways, and now China's high-speed railway is becoming more and more developed, in the short and medium-distance travel, high-speed rail whether it is punctuality rate or convenience, and then to price, time, are much more convenient than airplanes, resulting in domestic airlines in most of the short and medium-haul routes in the country is extremely uncompetitive, and the profit is very low.

If the short and medium-range aircraft can be replaced with DC1-1, then the profits of domestic airlines can be greatly improved, when the time comes, they can reduce the price on the one hand, improve the seat rate, on the other hand, and ensure that the unit transportation profit is significantly higher than before, and the popularity of the entire civil aviation will be opened in a large area in a short period of time.

Since the government has issued an airworthiness certificate for DC1-1, the biggest problem now is how to distribute the orders in front of Dongchen, the heads of the airlines present have put forward their own purchase intentions, the largest purchase volume is China Southern Airlines, the total number of orders has reached 730 units, which can fully replace their more than 300 Boeing 737 and Airbus A320, China Eastern Airlines orders 700 units, they have 200 A320, more than 100 Boeing 737, fully covering all domestic routes, in addition to more than 200 Air China, There are more than 200 units of Hainan Airlines. There are also small airlines such as Qilu Airlines and Sichuan Airlines, which also have dozens or more than a dozen orders

Major airlines have different scales and order quantities, so even if the production capacity is evenly divided, it is very unfair to large airlines, and in the case of equal production capacity, small airlines can complete all short- and medium-haul aircraft faster reloading. The overall profitability has increased across the board, while large airlines often have hundreds of aircraft larger, and the replacement cycle is too long. The effect is also very slow.

It is difficult to find a solution that satisfies everyone after many consultations between the Civil Aviation and the Directorate-General of Civil Aviation, with small airlines wanting to be able to distribute capacity evenly according to the number of companies they order, while large airlines want to order according to different airlines. For example, in the first month, each airline is guaranteed to receive 9% of its order, so that everyone can complete the engine replacement within a year.

For this proposal, the small airline was suddenly anxious, especially the person in charge of Lucky Airlines in Yunnan Province blushed and shouted: "It is difficult for our small company to survive, there are few planes, few routes, and flight take-off and landing times are also ranked in an embarrassing marginal time period, and it is difficult to survive, if you follow this ratio." We have a total of 18 aircraft, and we can only get less than three engines per month, and it takes two months to complete the refitting of three aircraft, which is a speed compared to the big airlines. It's so unfair! ”

"yes!" The person in charge of Tianjin Airlines also said very approvingly: "China Southern Airlines is one of the best in Asia, so there is no need to compete with small companies like us at this time!" You should take a long-term view, your international routes are developing so much, and it is good to work short- and medium-haul international routes! ”

The person in charge of China Southern Airlines said: "We have so many aircraft, and it takes a lot of capital to replace them, and almost all of the previous engines have to be replaced." Not only the cost is high, the waste of resources is also very serious, even the spare parts can not be used, do you think the plate is big must eat more? No matter how big the plate is, there is only so much stuff in it, not much more than your small company, and in the end, the effort to wash the dishes is more than you use! That dish soap and water are more than you consume! Such a big plate will take up more space than your small plate! ”

The words of the person in charge of China Southern Airlines made everyone cry and laugh, and airlines of all sizes couldn't wait to complete the refitting as soon as possible, but the engine could not be built thousands of units at once, and the whole line could be reinstalled, after all, it was a very long process.

The whole conference room was in an uproar, and for a moment everyone was expressing their opinions and arguing endlessly.

The middle organizer of the Civil Aviation - General Administration of Civil Aviation is embarrassed, who gets the Dongchen engine first, it means who has achieved a huge cost advantage in civil aviation transportation, this is not one side to improve, and the other side to stagnate, but once one side improves, the other side will inevitably decline.

Zhang Wenhao listened to everyone's dispute, his head was big, he thought for a moment, knocked on the table with his fingers, and after everyone quieted down, Zhang Wenhao opened his mouth and asked, "What are the most stressful routes for you now?" ”

In the end, the person in charge of China Eastern Airlines said: "I think the routes that we are currently under the most pressure on are those routes opened by high-speed rail, among them, the pressure from Yanjing to Zhonghai should be the greatest." ”

Other airlines have also stated that Yanjing to Zhonghai can be said to be the hottest route in the country, with the largest passenger flow, the most flights, the most competition, and the greatest pressure, because after the opening of the high-speed rail from Yanjing to Zhonghai, the distance between the two cities from the city center to the city center only takes five hours to complete, and the price of the second-class seat is only more than 500 yuan, and the economy class price of the plane during the prime time is basically maintained at the same price, but this is the seat price, not the final price, The final consumer will also have to bear an additional 180 yuan in oil tax and airport construction tax.

The biggest problem in the convenience of the aviation field is that most of the airport locations are relatively remote, the waiting time is long and the punctuality rate is low, take Yanjing as an example, from the city to the airport, it takes 30 minutes to take the airport line, and you need to pay an additional transportation fee of nearly 30 yuan, and the average time of the airport bus is higher than one hour.

The high-speed railway stations of these two cities are located in urban areas, which are convenient to ride, simple procedures, and the punctuality rate is basically accurate to the minute, so civil aviation receives the greatest pressure on this line.

Others have no objection to this, and Yanjing to Zhonghai is indeed a big problem. A problem that seems difficult to break through, it is said that the speed of the high-speed rail will soon be increased to the design speed of 350 kilometers per hour, at which point the journey time will be reduced to about four hours, and by that time, civil aviation will be on this route. It will be more painful.

Zhang Wenhao saw that there was no dispute about the fact that everyone was under the most pressure on the route from Yanjing to Shanghai, so he said: "Then, let's start with this route first." Based on the number of flights you have on this route, all airlines change at an average rate. The productivity of Dongchen can ensure that four aircraft are replaced every day, all airlines are sorted according to the order of the first letter on the alphabet, each airline changes one aircraft at a time, and the cycle is replaced, so that each of your airlines can reduce a certain amount of pressure on this route, until all the planes on this route are replaced by the meeting, and then we start the second route reloading. ”

Zhang Wenhao's way made everyone's eyes shine, if that's the case. It's a lot fairer for all airlines, because they have different resources on each route according to their size and strength, so far. But it allows them to concentrate on solving the pressure problem of a shipping line first.

This rule was accepted by everyone happily, and Zhang Wenhao said: "Since everyone has no opinion, then we will start signing the order contract now, and after the contract is signed, it will start this week." In the DC1-1 test stage, Dongchen Aviation has not stopped the manufacture of DC1-1, we now have about 80 engines off the assembly line, and now we are in the test stage, three days later, we will rent a maintenance hangar at Zhonghai Hongqiao Airport to complete the engine replacement for you in Hongqiao. ”

Subsequently, the person in charge of China Southern Airlines said: "I think that in addition to the route from Yanjing to Zhonghai, the route from Yanjing to Yangcheng is also facing a lot of pressure, the high-speed rail from Yanjing to Yangcheng has a high attendance rate, and the impact on the route along the way is also very large, so after the route from Yanjing to Zhonghai is reloaded, the next step should be Yanjing to Yangcheng." ”

The person in charge of China Eastern Airlines also nodded and said: "Now, the routes with the least pressure are the major tourist hotlines, routes to cities in the southwest and northwest, these routes, the competitiveness of airlines is still very strong, we don't need to scruple for the time being, the most important thing is to gradually replace the routes between these big cities in the third tier, in that way, we will face the high-speed rail lines, we will have enough competitiveness to compete with them for customers." ”

"What about overseas routes?" The person in charge of Air China said: "Don't ignore the importance of overseas routes, especially between Asian countries, Japan, South Korea, Thailand are the largest business and tourism routes, foreign airlines have been competing with us fiercely for passengers, if we can replace the aircraft on these routes, then our external competitiveness will be greatly improved." ”

The person in charge of Lucky Air said stupidly: "Can you talk about these things later?" We don't have an international route so far, and if you want to reload the aircraft on the international route, why do you have to wait until we small companies have completed the reloading, right? ”

Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly, stood up, and said: "The first stage is for the route from Yanjing to Zhonghai, other things, let's not talk about it for the time being, wait until this route is nearing the end of the redress, let's meet and discuss it, let's go here today, after everyone goes back, arrange the sorting of the aircraft to be reloaded as soon as possible, and see you in Hongqiao three days later." ”

Dongchen Aviation now has a daily production capacity of three units, and during the test flight of these days, it has accumulated more than 80 engines, which is enough to replace three aircraft for each of these airlines, and commercial aviation is in Zhonghai, and the major airlines fly Yanjing to Zhonghai route, most of which take off and land at Zhonghai Hongqiao Airport, so it is most convenient to replace the engines for these airlines in Hongqiao.

Just after the meeting of the domestic civil aviation industry, Dongchen announced to the world that DC1-1 will be supplied to Chinese mainland airlines from now on, and will begin to refit the aircraft of domestic airlines in the shortest possible time. In order to reduce the losses caused by the current stock price crash and order crash, the three companies jointly made unilateral similar punishment measures to customers around the world, that is, to increase the maintenance and spare parts costs of all engines by 50%.

The move was met with protests from all airlines around the world, and the three companies had long understood that with the current manufacturing strength of Dongchen, their fall was only a matter of time. And Dongchen Automobile has presented enough cases for them, and Dongchen Automobile has almost crushed all the big enterprises in the world, making these enterprises become Dongchen's OEM factories. In the field of aero engines, Dongchen has a stronger competitiveness than automobiles, because of the users of aero engines. It is the global airline, not the individual, and the individual may have a brand tendency, but the airline, which is all profit-centric, is absolutely impossible to remember the old feelings and nationality division.

Although all the airlines in the world are opposing the malicious price increase of the Big Three, it is an irreversible situation that Ts.c. cannot cover the whole world in a short period of time, and the Big Three also know very well that even if sooner or later all their users will defect to Teast.com. Until they switch, all airlines will continue to rely on them.

Although on the one hand, the three giants have maliciously raised prices, but on the other hand, the three giants have also significantly reduced the price of their own engines, and now Boeing and Airbus have abandoned the use of the engines of the three giants in production and pending orders. However, it will take at least a few years for Tecton to complete its coverage capacity, and in these years, airlines will inevitably have to put new aircraft into operation if they have rigid needs. Their price reduction for the new engine is to attract users to temporarily give up waiting for Dongchen and choose the engine of the Big Three to meet the immediate demand.

Zhang Wenhao is not worried about these, aero engine engines and cars are not the same, car users may not blindly make repeated investment, but the airline abacus is very easy, even if they choose the engine of the big three in order to meet the immediate demand, but once the Dongchen engine is supplied, they will inevitably replace all the engines of the big three as soon as possible, only in this way can the cost be reduced to the greatest extent.

In addition to the anger of the Big Three's malicious increase in maintenance and spare parts costs, overseas airlines are also worried about Chinese airlines, and now Dongchen DC1-1 is not enough to carry out long-distance international routes, but once Dongchen develops a high-thrust engine, then the first to get the replacement must be Chinese airlines, and at that time, Chinese airlines will use lower-cost aircraft to compete with them for the market of international routes, and they are more worried. If Tecton starts exporting aero engines to the world, then every airline that takes the lead in getting Tecchain engines will set off unfair competition in its own country.

In order to improve productivity as much as possible in a short period of time, Dongchen invested one billion US dollars in the construction of a new production line of Dongchen Aviation, which has endless cash, and most of it is foreign exchange, which makes Dongchen also the most powerful enterprise in the whole world.

It is precisely because of the strong financial support of Dongchen and the strong scientific and technological support of Dongchen Aviation that the world's civil aviation systems are focusing on Dongchen, looking forward to the next move of Dongchen and the next product that will shock the world.

At the same time, more than a month has passed since the DC1-1 rolled off the assembly line, and the first engine is still in the continuous test stage on the ground, with the support of strong technology, materials and manufacturing technology, it has been running continuously 23 hours a day, for more than 30 consecutive days, and it is still running well without the slightest failure.

The strong manufacturing capacity has attracted more and more attention from the performance of the DC1-1, and the intention of DC1-1 is to prove the DC1-1's orderly working ability, mechanical reliability, and its overhaul timeframe.

The world's three major engine manufacturers, in the way of positioning for civil aviation engines, have taken a detailed division to further meet the needs of the market segmentation, thrust subdivision is even accurate to 100 kilograms, in fact, the general classification is only three levels, with small and medium-sized trunk airliners, medium and large passenger aircraft, for small and medium-sized trunk airliners, the world's engine models as many as a dozen, but, in the face of the super cost performance of Dongchen DC1-1, these more than a dozen engines developed for small and medium-sized trunk airliners and transport aircraftEven if some narrow-body small trunk airliners will have a certain amount of thrust waste after being equipped with DC1-1, but due to precise fuel consumption control, the extra thrust of the engine design will not increase the cost of use.

This is why Boeing highly praised the DC1-1 will become the perfect power system for all small and medium-sized trunk airliners and cargo aircraft, and Dongchen does not need to make any detailed division of the market at this level, just a DC1-1 is completely sufficient.

From this point of view, if Dongchen develops a higher thrust version to cover the 20-ton high-thrust engines such as Boeing's medium-sized passenger aircraft 767 and 777, Airbus's A330 and 340, then, with the strength of Dongchen, it also only needs one product to achieve comprehensive coverage in this field, in fact, Dongchen only needs to develop two engines, which is enough to cover the vast majority of models in the entire civil aviation field, as for the A380 super large passenger aircraft, the production is too small, It accounts for a negligible proportion of civil airliners, and it is not so necessary to develop a high-thrust engine with a thrust of more than 30 tons for him.
