For Zhang Wenhao, France is not a market that he rejects, now except for Dongchen Aviation because of the production capacity problem only covers the United States, other Dongchen products have already landed in the French market and sales are very good, Zhang Wenhao has no special view of France, France did not bring any unnecessary trouble to Dongchen in the trade with Dongchen, so that Dongchen Aviation sold the engine to Air France, which did not have any substantial impact on Dongchen, however, Zhang Wenhao has a bottom limit in his heart, he can sell the engine to a French airline, but he must not sell the engine to Airbus, or reach a cooperation with Airbus.\\

Hollande came prepared, he even counted Zhang Wenhao and Dongchen, thinking that his trip would definitely bring enough international public opinion pressure to Dongchen, so that he had to reach an engine cooperation with Airbus, at the same time, Zhang Wenhao also calculated that he would not let Hollande go home empty-handed, so he first used the argument of the greatest interests of the people to lure Hollande into the bait, and then proposed to allocate excess production capacity to Air France.

Now Hollande has no choice at all, and Zhang Wenhao is still striking while the iron is hot, and said: "Your Excellency, as the president of a country, you are so concerned about the cost of the flight of the people, I think the French people will be very grateful to you for this attitude of loving the people like a son." ”

Hollande nodded helplessly, and said with a forced smile: "I think if the French people can be the first to enjoy the benefits of Dongchen Aviation, they are most grateful not to me, but to Dongchen Aviation, and Mr. Zhang." ”

Zhang Wenhao laughed. Lost a few words of compliment, Hollande knew that the general trend had gone, at this time, no matter what, can no longer mention the matter of Airbus, otherwise it can only be a fire, can only be hard to complete the entire inspection process, and then Hollande and his party were taken over by the leaders of the Zhonghai Municipal Government, according to the plan, Hollande will also visit and inspect Zhonghai, as well as several more famous enterprises in Zhonghai. Zhang Wenhao can be regarded as having escaped the president of this prepared country without danger.

The news of Hollande's visit to Dongchen Aviation Engineering was reported by the Chinese and French media, although it did not cause much turmoil in the world, but for the French, this is indeed excellent news, France is located in Western Europe, and the countries of the whole Europe are very closely connected, and for the Europeans, they go in and out of many countries in Europe. It's as easy and convenient as Chinese going in and out of multiple provinces in China, and. Even if it is an international flight within Europe, there is no need to fly across the ocean at all, coupled with the short distance between countries, most of the planes they use to fly international flights in Europe are A320 and B737, which means that they do not need to wait for Dongchen's medium and large thrust engine to be mass-produced and get the airworthiness certificate, as long as there is DC1-1, French airlines can achieve cost control in the whole country and the whole of Europe, which is for the people. Quite a big deal is offered.

After Hollande ended his trip to China and returned to France, he was still a little stupid, but he found that his trip to China was not in vain, at least, the domestic people were very sure of the significance of his trip to China, and allocated the quota of Dongchen engine to the weight generated by domestic airlines in the minds of the people. Much more than handing over these shares to Airbus.

Overjoyed, Hollande decided to maintain his crucial role in this cooperation, and as soon as he returned to China, he took the initiative to contact Dongchen and invited Zhang Wenhao to France to meet with Air France. It is hoped that the contract will be signed with representatives of domestic airlines at the Elysee Palace, the residence of the French president.

Zhang Wenhao is not a fool, after Hollande's visit, he decided that before Airbus was not included in his pocket, he would never see any leaders from Europe, let alone take the initiative to go to these countries to make himself uncomfortable, so he vaguely refused Hollande's invitation, but instead sent a negotiation team to France to sign a contract with Air France.

In addition to Japan, South Korea and Australia, Dongchen engines sold to any country will be sold according to a unified US dollar price, and if the government imposes tariffs on Dongchen engines, it will be borne by the buyer, in fact, no country will be blind to impose tariffs on Dongchen engines, so the negotiations are just a formality, and the two sides agree on the average daily supply, according to the intensity of the French route. As long as these conditions are negotiated, and then the major airlines quote their orders and pay the deposit, the cooperation can be officially opened.

However, because this cooperation with Air France is Dongchen's second overseas market after the United States, Zhang Wenhao added an additional condition to this cooperation, that is, Dongchen only accepts engine replacement for Air France's aircraft with a service period of more than one year, and if the service period is less than one year, it will not be replaced, and once all engines are assembled on aircraft that meet the requirements, the airline will disassemble and install them on other aircraft without authorization. Dongchen will permanently cease the supply of complete engines and spare parts.

This fundamentally puts an end to the curve of airlines ordering new aircraft with no engine configuration from Airbus, and then buying engines from Dongchen to save the country, and airlines will never take risks and risk being completely blocked by Dongchen to purchase new aircraft from Airbus, which makes Airbus even more angry, so that Airbus and its parent company European Aerospace Corporation senior officials angrily accuse Dongchen of deliberate suppression in public, but Zhang Wenhao does not give any response to their accusations at all. On the contrary, at this time, it was announced in a high-profile manner that Dongchen would join forces with Boeing to conduct flight test tests of three new engines of Dongchen Aviation.

For them, the significance of the Dongchen engine is far more than simply reducing the cost, due to the higher fuel economy, the aircraft equipped with the Dongchen Aerospace engine will undoubtedly obtain a higher range, once the Dongchen's medium and large thrust engine is mass-produced. So now the medium and large passenger aircraft, once the Dongchen engine is hoisted, they will have at least 40% of the maximum range increase, now used for transoceanic flight aircraft, the maximum range is about 10000-14000 kilometers, in the case of not modifying the aircraft itself, once the Dongchen engine is used, the maximum range becomes 14000 to nearly 20000 kilometers, on the earth, the farthest distance between two points, the maximum may only be 20015 kilometers. If Boeing's 747-8 is equipped with Dongchen engines, then its range can exceed 20,000 kilometers, which is also more than the maximum distance of 20,015 kilometers.

What does this mean? It means that the vast majority of aircraft, when flying existing international routes, can completely eliminate the stops designed because of the limited range, do not need to land halfway through the airport to refuel, plus the Dongchen aviation engine has excellent endurance and continuous operation ability, the future international routes. Except for pick-up and drop-off stops, all other routes are available for direct flights.

The planes landed together. It will cause a very large cost in addition, take the A320 small and medium-sized aircraft as an example, to complete a take-off and landing, not only to bear the cost of take-off and landing itself, but also to pay a huge amount of expenses to the airport, a take-off consumes four tons of fuel, the price is about nearly 30,000 yuan, a take-off and landing, and then pay an additional 10,000 yuan to the airport.

If you land once. Just for refueling, this cost is indeed very painful, but if you have a Dongchen engine, this additional take-off and landing designed for refueling will completely disappear from the stage of history.

China's major airlines are boiling over the news released by Dongchen, also because China has long been accustomed to going through the back door, trusting relationships, and not playing cards according to routines. For a time, the major airlines tried every means to contact Dongchen, hoping to replace Dongchen's medium and large thrust engines as soon as possible, among which China Southern Airlines was the most urgent.

They have the highest number of international flights among domestic civil aviation companies, and have received nearly 10 A380 oversized passenger aircraft over the years. Also received a lot of Boeing A787, these passenger planes were used in the operation of international routes, the most troublesome for China Southern Airlines is the A380, this big guy after a few years of precipitation, for passengers, has long ceased to be as attractive as it was at the beginning, often more than six or seven hundred seats, the seat rate is extremely difficult to guarantee, the operation of China Southern Airlines is quite distressed, now for them, the only solution is to replace the Dongchen engine, the original do not need to stop to replenish the fuel of the direct flight route, after being equipped with the Dongchen engine, you can reduce the fuel load before take-off, and further reduce the cost, and the route that originally needed to stop to replenish fuel, after being equipped with the Tungchen engine, there is no need for additional stops, which can be said to save costs everywhere, and the overall cost reduction is beyond imagination.

In addition to mainland airlines, airlines in Hong Kong and Macao administrative regions also can't wait to get Dongchen engines, and Zhang Wenhao only chose mainland airlines when he started the first batch of DC1-1 engine replacement in China, and Hong Kong and Macau airlines were not taken into account at all.

Asia's largest airline is Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific Airways, after the acquisition of Dragonair, they continue to expand the size of the fleet, the momentum of development is very rapid, but before Dongchen started the Continental Airlines redress, they were excluded, has long made them dissatisfied, so, this time Dongchen medium and high thrust engine began to fly test, they can't wait to get a certain share, and to their surprise, Dongchen's reply to Cathay Pacific is very simple and clear:" After obtaining the airworthiness certificate, Dongchen Aviation will take the lead in opening the window of the Continental Airlines, but this window is only for the mainland airlines, and the opening hours of the window in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region are to be determined, please be patient. ”

Cathay Pacific was annoyed by this, and Dongchen made it clear that it was treating Hong Kong airlines differently, so it sent three protest emails to Dongchen in a row, and the reply given by Dongchen was still so calm and simple, only ten words: "It's not just you who have a sense of superiority." ”

Cathay's subsequent emails, Dongchen did not pay the slightest attention, and Zhang Wenhao, all the experience was put into the test flight.

Raymond thinks that he is the original Mussolini, and Zhang Wenhao must be the arrogant but extraordinary Hitler, Zhang Wenhao wants to test the flight of medium and high thrust engines, Raymond did not say a word, and immediately prepared the three planes that came off the production line with the latest ones, and these engines were replaced with idle Pratt & Whitney engines in Boeing's hands. Just waiting for Zhang Wenhao's order, he immediately flew from Seattle to Zhonghai.

However, Zhang Wenhao signaled Raymond to wait in Seattle, this time, Dongchen did not prepare to conduct a test flight in China, but set the test flight location in Seattle.

The last time he flew DC1-1, the routes of the eastern coastal cities were occupied several times, causing a large area of flight delays, and China's domestic civil airspace was already very strict and narrow. All resources are prioritized for Dongchen, and domestic airlines and passengers have become the biggest victims, and choosing to do so in the United States completely avoids this situation.

In addition, Boeing has better hardware equipment, which Zhang Wenhao does not have at present, after all, Boeing itself is the world's largest aircraft manufacturer, and they have a large number of flight test work almost every day, whether it is military or civilian aircraft. The hardware equipment and experience can be said to be the best in the world, the last time Dongchen flew DC1-1. Dongchen Aviation has not yet proved its strength in the world, even if Zhang Wenhao asks Boeing for help, they will definitely not agree, but this time is different, Boeing Civil Airlines has only Dongchen the first to look ahead, just one sentence, all the preparations Boeing will be ready.

The facts did not exceed Zhang Wenhao's expectations, and Raymond heard that Zhang Wenhao was about to transfer the test flight to Seattle, and he was excited and agreed almost immediately. This test flight can be said to be a strategic test flight of Dongchen Aviation's real comprehensive command of the entire trunk airliner engine, and the world is paying great attention to it, and choosing to carry it out in Boeing is also a very good opportunity for Boeing to show its face. It also better reflects the close strategic partnership between Boeing and Dongchen, and spending a little manpower and financial resources is trivial for Raymond, and it is nothing to worry about.

Raymond also began to apply to the U.S. government for test flight routes, and the U.S. government took this as seriously as Boeing. The United States can open all of its military airports around the world for test flights, even if the highest level of route permission is granted, and the entire transoceanic route from Seattle to Hawaii and from Hawaii to Guam can be opened for test flights, or even if needed.

The United States has high-standard military airports in all military bases stationed abroad in the world, and the location and appearance of these airports are basically not kept secret, and netizens around the world can see clear satellite maps of every military airport in and outside the United States on Google Earth, plus the test flight uses Boeing's aircraft, with the participation of Boeing, Dongchen is unlikely to make any espionage operations, the US government is not worried about this, however, the US government pays the most attention to Dongchen's medium and large thrust engine, This not only has epoch-making significance for civil aviation, even military transport aircraft also has absolute strategic significance, you must know that the engine of jet military transport aircraft is almost no different from the engine of large civil airliners and cargo aircraft, and even Boeing 757 and the United States C-17 transport aircraft are the same engine, so this engine will also greatly improve the performance of the transport aircraft, especially the improvement of the range, and for the US government, Dongchen is completely open to Boeing to provide the engine, which meansOnce the performance of these three high-thrust engines really reaches the kind of standard that Dongchen has in DC1-1, then these three engines will be the best choice for military transport aircraft!

International practice, no one will carry out a technical blockade of military transport aircraft engines, so China's fighter jets have never used American engines, but the Y-20 transport aircraft has always used turbofan engines provided by Pratt & Whitney, therefore, once Dongchen's high-thrust engine is confirmed by actual tests, it will inevitably become the world's first choice for jet military transport aircraft, and the United States' global strategy has led to the extremely high frequency of their transport aircraft, which also makes the White House have extraordinary expectations for Dongchen's high-thrust engine.

The United States has nearly 1,000 military transport aircraft, of which turboprop engines and turbofan engines basically account for half and half, that is to say, if Dongchen's high-thrust engine really has a very high cost performance, at least 500 of the aircraft currently in service in the United States will become potential users of Dongchen, which cannot help but the White House does not pay attention to.

With the full support of Boeing and the U.S. government, Zhang Wenhao took the BBJ-2 business jet to Seattle after a few days of preparation, and accompanied by Boeing's first batch of four 747-8 cargo models delivered to Dongchen, these four cargo planes carried a total of 24 Dongchen engines, each model by eight test samples, after arriving in Seattle, these engines will be hoisted on the twin engine 777, 787 and four engine 747 for testing.

Boeing's test airport in Seattle has completely postponed all the test flight plans for the test flight of Dongchen, just waiting for the arrival of the Dongchen engine, waiting for the Dongchen engine to create a miracle again, the global civil aviation system is even more excited about this, including even UPS and other international air logistics groups, the same is true of the global media, Dongchen's plane has not yet arrived in Seattle, a large number of media reporters have flocked to the test airport around the long guns and short guns, including China, Russia, India, the United Kingdom, France and other military powers are also paying close attention to Seattle's every move, and Dongchen will once again shock the world.
