The two installations and two tests of the turbofan 16B engine are in very good condition, and the test data is very good, and Li Tianfeng is very relieved.

The two turbofan 16B engines successfully passed the test run and are only to be delivered to the Airbus manufacturing base in Jingang City, where they will be loaded on the Airbus A320 passenger aircraft for a series of test flights.

The Airbus A320 passenger plane used for the test flight, the Airbus manufacturing base in Jingang City has long been prepared, this is a brand-new Airbus A320 passenger aircraft, just waiting for the engine to be in place.

This Airbus A320 passenger aircraft, a series of test flights in China, will go to a number of airports for test flights, including plateau airports, inland airports and coastal airports, if a series of test flights are successfully passed, Airbus should consider ordering turbofan 16B engines.

If Airbus orders turbofan 16 engines, the balance of the market for 150-seat mainline airliner engines will be upset, breaking the long-term monopoly.

At present, the CFM56 series engine accounts for 78% of the 150-seat mainline airliner engine market, and the engine is not only the sole power of the B737 aircraft, but also wins more than half of the engine orders for the new A320 aircraft, and more than 15,600 CFM56 engines have been delivered to date.

The V2500 engine occupies about 20% of the market share of 150-seat mainline airliners, mainly used in A320, A321 and MD-90 airliners

The CFM56 series engine and the V2500 engine, these two engines, occupy 98% of the market share of the 150-seat mainline airliner engine market, and deserve to monopolize this market.

Undoubtedly, Li Tianfeng is ready to fight his way out of this monopoly and let his turbofan 16B engine occupy a place.

In the office.

Li Tianfeng is looking at the trial production and process verification report of the turbofan 20 engine, and the two turbofan 16B engines have passed the test run smoothly and have been sent to the Airbus manufacturing base in Jingang City. This matter has basically come to an end.

The verification and test flight of the engine is naturally responsible for Airbus, and Tianfeng Technology only needs to send a technical team to serve and track the test flight, that is to say, Li Tianfeng only needs to wait for the test flight results. There is no need to worry about all the test flight matters in the middle.

The development of the turbofan 20 engine is naturally the top priority, the number one task, the project code 106, Li Tianfeng naturally attaches great importance to it, and now, it has fully entered the trial production and process verification stage of various parts, and the manufacture of some important and key parts. Li Tianfeng is more concerned.

After reading a large stack of parts trial production and process verification reports, there are many problems exposed, and the trial production and process verification of new engine parts are inevitable, and it is normal to expose a series of problems.

The trial production of parts for the turbofan 20 engine has no major problems and many small problems, and Li Tianfeng knows it. Small problems are inevitable, which makes Li Tianfeng more relieved.

The parts have been trial-produced batch after batch. The process will continue to improve and mature, and the processing quality of the parts will gradually improve, and eventually tend to be stable.

After reading these reports, Li Tianfeng thought in his heart, if he has time, try to spend a little more time to take a look at the processing site. Take a look at the trial production of each part, especially those key and critical parts.

Closing these reports, Li Tianfeng rubbed his head, not long ago, Li Tian went to the capital for a few days. Wang Ruobing was pregnant for ten months, had already given birth, and gave birth to a big fat boy for herself, the mother and son were healthy, and Li Tianfeng accompanied her for several days.

Li Tianfeng's parents stayed in the capital temporarily, while Li Tianfeng returned to Tianfeng Technology Company after staying for a few days because of his busy work.

Rubbing his head and relaxing, Xu Lilong knocked on the door and came in, it seemed that Xu Lilong's face was more anxious and worried, as if there was something important.

As soon as he entered Li Tianfeng's office, Xu Lilong said, "Boss, there is an important situation that I want to report to you." ”

Seeing this, Li Tianfeng also realized that this should be a big deal, otherwise, according to Xu Lilong's calm character, Xu Lilong would definitely not be like this.

Li Tianfeng immediately said: "Mr. Xu, sit down first and speak slowly." ”

Xu Lilong said: "Boss, the latest news, led by GE, including Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, as well as a French company, an Italian company, and two Japanese companies, a total of seven companies are meeting in the United States to discuss the establishment of a new company to jointly develop a new aero engine. ”

Li Tianfeng immediately realized that what should come is still coming, and he has seized a lot of the international regional airliner engine market, and his competitors immediately take countermeasures.

There is a precedent for a number of powerful companies to join forces to form a new company and jointly develop a new, high-performance aero engine.

For example, the current IAE engine company is jointly invested by five companies to jointly develop the V2500 engine, which is a very good engine.

Li Tianfeng said: "Mr. Xu, when did this happen?" ”

Xu Lilong said: "This matter should have been preparing and brewing for a while, these seven companies have joined together to become a new company under the leadership of GE, which should be a recent thing, and the meeting was held the day before yesterday." ”

Day before yesterday? That is, it has been held for two days, and it is estimated that an agreement has been formed between them, and the matter should be decided.

Li Tianfeng thought so in his heart, and then said: "Mr. Xu, pay close attention to this matter, and report to me as soon as there is new information." ”

Xu Lilong nodded, and then said worriedly: "Boss, look at it like this, the posture is very big, and a joint company has been established, it seems that they are planning to seize the regional airliner market and prepare to squeeze us out." ”

Li Tianfeng said coldly: "It is not so easy to squeeze us out of the international regional airliner engine market. ”

Xu Lilong is obviously not as confident as Li Tianfeng, Xu Lilong said: "What if they jointly launch a new aero engine?" ”

Li Tianfeng said slowly: "They have countermeasures, I also have a way, if they really launch a new engine, we will also retaliate, we will also launch a new aero engine, and surpass them in an all-round way." ”

Xu Lilong said in surprise: "Boss, we have this technical strength, can we surpass them?" ”

With the development and growth of Tianfeng Technology Co., Ltd. and the support of the military and the state, Li Tianfeng's self-confidence has become more and more sufficient, Li Tianfeng said slowly: "I think we should have this strength." ”

Hearing this, Xu Lilong was pleasantly surprised, and then dared to look at Li Tianfeng in disbelief.

Li Tianfeng's face was full of confidence, at least in front of Xu Lilong.

Li Tianfeng knows that it will take time for the other party to launch a new regional airliner, which may be the only factor in his favor at present.

The development of each new aero engine requires a cycle, if replaced by other domestic aero engine enterprises, the development cycle is about seven or eight years, or more than ten years, foreign words, it is difficult to say, the key is to see if there is a ready-made core machine.

Tianfeng Technology Co., Ltd. develops a new aero engine, and its development cycle is about one and a half to two years, which is not inferior to those aero engine giant companies, which is the advantage of Tianfeng Technology Co., Ltd.

If the other party uses one or two years to launch a new engine, and then launches another engine to surpass the other party, in the next few years, there may be a phenomenon of alternate emergence of new aero engines, and the two sides will start round after round of competition.

Seeing that Li Tianfeng was full of confidence, Xu Lilong was also very relieved, and watching Xu Lilong happily leave his office, Li Tianfeng's expression gradually became solemn.

Although he was so confident just now, Li Tianfeng knew that according to the current strength of Tianfeng Technology Company, it would be very difficult to develop a new engine that comprehensively surpassed his opponents.

The opponent's new engine will definitely surpass its own turbofan 17 and turbofan 18 engines, its own turbofan 17 and turbofan 18 engines are advanced enough, and the opponent's engine will surpass it, and it is conceivable that the opponent's engine will be very good.

If you surpass the other party, then this new engine, its advanced degree, will be unprecedented, in Li Tianfeng's memory, there is naturally such an engine, but whether it can be developed is another matter.

A few days later.

Xu Lilong basically figured it out, and made a more detailed report to Li Tianfeng, by GE, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, and four other companies, including a French company, an Italian company, and two Japanese companies, jointly established a new company called GTF.

GE and Pratt & Whitney have a large stake, and surprisingly, Rolls-Royce only has a symbolic stake in the shares, and the rest is held by the four companies.

Li Tianfeng thought in his heart, GE, Pratt & Whitney, and Rolly-Royce are not monolithic, this time, Rollo is only a symbolic share of a small share, which is basically insignificant.

GTF plans to jointly propose a regional airliner engine with a thrust of about 15,000 pounds, which is 2%~4% lower fuel consumption, 5~10% lower maintenance cost, 10%~20% lower NOx emissions, and 5 decibels lower than Tianfeng Technology's turbofan 17 or turbofan 18 engine.

After listening to the report, Li Tianfeng thought in his heart, the comer is not good, if the other party really develops such an engine, it will definitely be very popular.

Li Tianfeng said: "Mr. Xu, it seems that our competitors have begun to make ruthless moves, and they actually want to develop such an advanced regional airliner power." ”

Xu Lilong said: "Boss, I just don't know when the other party will be able to develop such an advanced engine and put it on the market." ”

Li Tianfeng nodded, Li Tianfeng also paid attention to this in his heart, when will the other party develop it, a year, two years, or even three years.
