Chapter 489: Digging into the corner of the US imperialism
The turbofan 21 engine, so advanced and excellent, the leader of contemporary regional airliner engines, such an eye-catching engine, that everyone naturally cares about who its first user is.
Everyone also knows who is lucky enough to be the first user of the turbofan 21 engine, this company, which is equivalent to a good free advertising around the world.
Li Tianfeng said: "The batch delivery of the turbofan 21 engine is planned to be in October this year, and COMAC will be the first user of the turbofan 21 engine. ”
It's COMAC!
Many people glanced enviously at Ma Delong, chairman of COMAC, who was sitting in the VIP area, and Ma Delong stood up and bowed happily to everyone.
To be the first user of the turbofan 21 engine, Maderon is happy!
The executives of several other companies looked at Ma Delong with envy, and thought in their hearts that they were a little slower to start, and at the first press conference of the turbofan 21 engine, COMAC was the first to sign a contract with Tianfeng Technology Company for 500 turbofan 21 engines.
As the first person to eat crabs, the rewards are also rich, COMAC has become the first enviable user, turbofan 21 engine, will first be installed on COMAC's ARJ21 passenger aircraft, the first to serve the domestic market.
After Li Tianfeng finished speaking, he threw out a bombshell news and said loudly: "In addition, there is another good news to tell you, and thank you for your recognition of the turbofan 21 engine......"
What Li Tianfeng said is that everyone has placed a lot of orders, the last time in the Beijing Hotel, the global launch of the turbofan 21 engine, the major regional airliner manufacturers, a total of 1,500 turbofan 21 engines from Tianfeng Technology Company.
This time, Tianfeng Technology Company received a gratifying 1,800 engines. They ordered another 300 units from COMAC!
Embraer, order another 500 turbofan 21 engines!
Bombardier, order 500 turbofan 21 engines!
Boeing, order another 400 turbofan 21 engines!
Even Airbus ordered 100 turbofan-21 engines.
1,800 turbofan 21 engines, which shows the popularity of this engine, plus the last order of 1,500 units. For this engine alone, Tianfeng Technology Company has an order for 3,300 units, and the delivery date is scheduled to be two years later.
After Li Tianfeng announced these orders, the whole hall was boiling, and the turbofan 21 engine was so popular, so popular, the engine had not yet begun to be put into production, and the orders received reached 3,300 units.
Many people even thought in their hearts that Tianfeng Technology Company not only has a turbofan 18 engine. There is such an excellent turbofan 21 engine to monopolize the international regional airliner engine market, I am afraid that it will be a matter of time.
Guo Tongde felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and looked at Li Tianfeng who was talking eloquently on the rostrum with joy, and even Guo Tongde was already calculating in his heart how much 3,300 turbofan 21 engines are and how much GDP they can bring to Songzhou City.
The price of a turbofan 21 engine is transparent. The price is $4.2 million, and the total price of 3,300 units is $13.86 billion. It is equivalent to 8 to 90 billion yuan.
8. 90 billion yuan!
Think about it, Guo Tongde is excited, a single turbofan 21 engine can bring such a large output value, what about other models?
Guo Tongde didn't dare to think about it in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't even control his excitement!
Thereinto. Li Tianfeng was also very happy in his heart, and he was slightly excited, there are so many gratifying orders for turbofan 21 engines, and there may be more such orders in the future.
The world's regional airliner manufacturer. There are far more than a few, other regional airliner manufacturers, only on a smaller scale, but they may also order turbofan 21 engines, and with the turbofan 21 engine officially put into production, there may be another peak period.
One of the most successful civil airliner engines in the world, with tens of thousands of units produced, Li Tianfeng even sometimes wonders in his heart whether his turbofan 21 engine can set a record and become the world's largest regional airliner engine.
The press conference for the turbofan-21 engine was a complete success.
Through this press conference, Tianfeng Technology Company not only won a huge reputation, but also won a large number of orders, which can be described as a bumper harvest.
After the successful conclusion of the press conference, the world's aviation industry reacted violently!
The color pictures of the turbofan 21 engine have become the focus of major websites and major newspapers, and the residual heat has not disappeared for several days, and the turbofan 21 engine can be seen on the homepage of the website and the front page of the newspaper.
………
The prototype of the turbofan 21 engine, after being out of the limelight, was transported back to Tianfeng Technology Company from the state-guest hotel, and after re-inspection, the engine was sent to the test engineering center for a series of factory tests.
These tests include not only factory tests, but also a series of high-altitude simulation tests, which may last for two or three months.
Compared with the high-profile turbofan 21 engine, the development of the turbofan 25 engine is much more low-key, and even in a state of strict secrecy.
Civil airliner engines focus on commercialization, to win the recognition and welcome of the market, publicity is a must. Military engines naturally cannot be compared with the engines of civilian airliners, and military engines, especially those of advanced fighters, naturally have to be kept strictly secret.
The development of the turbofan 25 engine, since it entered the comprehensive design stage last year, after so many months of design, the design has been nearly completed, and it will not be long before the comprehensive trial production of parts, according to Li Tianfeng's plan, before the end of this year, the prototype of the first turbofan 25 engine will be completed.
The progress of the turbofan 25 engine, compared with the turbofan 21 engine, is about half a year later, however, in the eyes of the military, this is already a god speed, and the development progress is greatly satisfied.
After all, the development of the turbofan 25 engine was started more than half a year later than that of the turbofan 21 engine.
The two engines, using the same core machine, are all the second-generation core machine technology of Tianfeng Technology Company, and the two engines are technical level and advanced. It's basically the same, only one is a civilian engine and the other is a military engine.
The construction of the base in the south of the city, the construction work is progressing steadily, and Zhou Ding is not only at a good level, but also conscientious. Li Tianfeng saved a lot of trouble.
The formation of the aircraft R&D team is also underway, and more than 300 designers who can be engaged in aircraft design have been transferred from the thousands of design technicians in the aero engine R&D center of Tianfeng Technology Company.
Zhang Haiping brought Li Tianfeng three aircraft design experts, more than a dozen professional aircraft designers with senior professional titles, and dozens of design engineers. Although the number of people is less than a hundred, Li Tianfeng seems to be of high quality.
In addition, Hu Xiao is still moving around and poaching people everywhere, not only using the relationship of many headhunting companies, but also Hu Xiao has gone abroad. Now, Hu Xiao is in the United States.
Speaking of Grumman. Many people may be relatively unfamiliar, but in the international aviation industry, or the world's military industry, it can be described as very famous.
Two days ago, Hu Xiao went to Lockheed Martin, today. It's Grumman again. However, Hu Xiao naturally did not enter the interior of Grumman, but in a nice café near the outside of Grumman.
It was the same last time at Martin, and it didn't go inside Martin. With Hu Xiao, there are not only two of Hu Xiao's subordinates. There is also a middle-aged foreigner, Hu Xiao's former friend and colleague in that famous international headhunting company.
The middle-aged foreigner said: "Hu, this time I have found several people for you, all of whom are the technical backbone of Grumman, in order to avoid unnecessary impact, we must quietly carry out and contact each other quietly." ”
Hu Xiao said: "Kate, I know this, when the matter is completed, I will give you a hard fee per capita." ”
This time, under the instruction of Li Tianfeng, Hu Xiao held a large amount of dollars and wantonly dug into the corners of the wall to poach technical personnel from several well-known aviation industry companies in the United States, especially aircraft design and development and related personnel.
This is a typical corner of digging American imperialism.
Kate smiled happily, as if she saw a lot of dollars, although she was Hu Xiao's friend, but she didn't have a lot of dollars, who would be so attentive and hardworking.
Hu Xiao stayed in the United States for more than a week, and "visited" several major US aviation industry companies one by one, including not only civil aircraft manufacturing companies, but also military aircraft manufacturing companies.
In more than a week, Hu Xiao has gained a lot, and dozens of high-end technicians have been in the bag, not only the design and development technical elites of civil airliners, but also the backbone of military aircraft research and development.
If it weren't for the fact that most of those high-end elite technicians have confidentiality agreements and are inconvenient to resign, there may be more people poached, more high-end.
After staying in the United States for more than a week, Hu Xiao took several of his subordinates from Los Angeles to fly directly to Europe, where Hu Xiao will also "visit" the major aircraft manufacturing and R&D companies in Europe.
Even, after going around Europe, Hu Xiao will go to Russia, waving rubles, to dig the corners of Lao Maozi's wall.
Although this is a bit unauthentic, Li Tianfeng has no choice, the aircraft design and R&D personnel in his hands are scarce, and with the current hundreds of technical personnel, it is really not enough, so he can only do this "next policy" and search for talents everywhere.
Fortunately, all of this is carried out in a low-key manner, which can basically be said to be quiet, and the impact in the industry is not great.
Compared with this low-key, the official website of Tianfeng Technology Company announced in a high-profile manner that Tianfeng Technology Company will hold a global job fair in two months, and which positions will be recruited and what requirements are clearly explained on the website.
Even, not only on the official website of Tianfeng Technology Company, Tianfeng Technology Company also spent a lot of money to do enough advertising and publicity to build momentum and publicity for this global job fair.
Careful people will find that the talents recruited by Tianfeng Technology Company this time are all technical talents, and most of them are technical talents related to aircraft design and development, and it seems that there is a great demand.
Seeing the recruitment publicity of Tianfeng Technology Company, many people thought in their hearts, what is Tianfeng Technology Company going to do, is it ready to enter the field of aircraft research and development and manufacturing?

Today's three watches, the third one is sent!
I would like to ask for a commuter pass, and I would like to recommend the support of the ticket.
"Aviation Dream" is written here, and in the eyes of Shell, it is only half, and there will be more exciting content and plots related to aircraft manufacturing in the future, as well as the road to becoming the hegemon of the aviation industry. (To be continued......)
