Chapter 1485: What a big pit! (Three more, three more to)
Rolls-Royce is a company with a special status in the United Kingdom, their special, absolutely not only because they produce Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars, but more importantly, because they are the incubator of the British aviation industry, whether it is World War I or World War II, the aero engines produced by Rolls-Royce are guarding the skies of the British Empire, even now, although the British Empire is not able to independently design and produce aircraft, But the most important reason why they have a place in the world's aviation industry is that they also have one of the largest and most advanced aero-engine manufacturers in the world: the Rolls-Royce Group.
Listen to this called Elizabeth. Sophie's beautiful woman introduced herself as a Rolls-Royce company, and not only the people around her were in awe, but even the black cops were chrysanthemum-tight: Nima! Even the people of the Rolls-Royce company were so polite to this Chinese, presumably he was an aircraft manufacturer from the Republic, and this is absolutely true...... glared at the fat pig fat man fiercely: Nima! I was almost killed by you bastard!
He had already begun to wonder how he should find trouble with this bastard fat man after he went back to comfort his little heart that had just been frightened.
As for the red-haired woman, she had already sneaked away as soon as she noticed that something was wrong: neither the Rolls-Royce Group nor an aircraft manufacturer who came to the exhibition could afford to mess with her.
"Fatty, what other questions do you have? Are you sure you want to trouble me? Glancing at the fat man, Lin Hongfei said lightly, it was clear that he didn't put the fat man in his eyes at all.
"Huh...... I've got a little bit of something to do, that ...... I'll go first. Seeing that the situation was not good, the fat man smiled wryly. Slipped away immediately: Luckily, the damn black dog didn't look at his ID when he called the police just now.
Nima, what's this all about? Boss Lin shook his head depressedly.
The bastard who called the police ran away, and so did the red-haired woman who had just made a sarcastic remark, and the black cop looked left and right, and then again: It seems that there is no reason for him to stay here? Looking at the woman of the Rolls-Royce company who seemed to be in the way here, she was so beautiful that people wanted to push her into bed at a glance, and couldn't help but scratch her head, "You two, you talk slowly, I'll go around and take a look at ......"
Lin Hongfei was lazy to pay so much attention, although he was very suspicious of this Elizabeth. Sophie has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, but the other party is kind enough to help herself. This favor is always the point. He took the initiative to ask her, "Miss Elizabeth, don't tell me, it was just a coincidence. ”
"It's really not a coincidence," said Elizabeth. Sophie was stunned for a moment. Then he covered his mouth and laughed softly, "I am not satisfied with what you said Mr. Lin." I was standing next to it just now. I was still thinking about how to talk to you, but I didn't expect that damn fat man to take the initiative to create such an opportunity for me...... Speaking of which, I should really thank him. ”
"You're honest enough," Lin Hongfei also smiled, although he had the urge to push her onto the bed at the first sight of this woman, "Say it." What the hell is it that you Rolls-Royce Functions asked you to come to me? ”
"It's not Rolls-Royce, it's BMW.Rolls-Royce," said Elizabeth. Sophie covered her mouth and smiled softly. "Mr. Lin, won't you invite me to sit down? This doesn't seem like the behavior of a gentleman. ”
"You don't need to sit down, it's a pity not to watch such a beautiful aerial ballet," Lin Hongfei shook his head with a smile, "Just say it, Miss Elizabeth, you can tell Pete. Mr. Max, our company already has an aero engine in the same thrust class as the BR710, and of course, if the customer insists, we can use the BR710 engine from BMW Rolls-Royce as one of the optional powertrains for our aircraft. ”
"Is it just an optional engine?" Elizabeth didn't know when she had leaned on Lin Hongfei's side, her arm next to Lin Hongfei's arm, pouting and twisting her body gently, and complained to Lin Hongfei, "Can't we use our BR710 as the only engine?" ”
"Why do you think that?" Lin Hongfei looked at Elizabeth strangely. Sophie, "We have our own turbofan engine, since we can produce it ourselves, why use yours?" Taking a step back, even if we will choose you, it is just an additional option for customers, and the CF34-8 that GE is developing is also one of our alternative engines...... With all due respect, beautiful young lady, your beauty alone is not enough to convince me. ”
"Really? That's a shame," Elizabeth said. Sophie shook her head regretfully, "I thought we had a chance to cooperate...... But Mr. Lin, although the performance and data of the D-36 of the Ukrainians are good, it is an engine that has not been verified by the International Aviation Association, so you are so confident? ”
"The D-36 has not been validated by the International Aviation Association, but your RBMW.Rolls-Royce BR710 engine has also not been validated by the International Aviation Association, right?" Face Elizabeth. Sophie's picking, Lin Hongfei said without showing weakness.
"Okay, let's not talk about the BR710, let's talk about your North County 200 plan," said Elizabeth. Sophie raised her hand and signaled that she had surrendered in this matter, "Mr. Lin, we are sure that you are designing and improving a mainline aircraft similar to the Boeing 737 or Airbus A320 based on the Il-62M of the former Soviet Union. I wonder if we can talk about it in this place? ”
Beijun 200 is not a highly confidential plan, and even when the Beijun 100 project plan was announced, some people had already guessed Lin Hongfei's intention to buy Il-62M, and then Lin Hongfei also announced the research and development plan and idea of Beijun 200...... Now is not the era when the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, if you want your products to sell well, you have to play hard to promote before the product is not established. Engaging in the aroma of wine is not afraid of the deep alley, waiting for the customer to take the initiative to come to him, that is absolutely not feasible.
The engine of the North County 200 is indeed a very embarrassing situation, and that is the engine.
In terms of thrust alone, after the redesign of many structures and the use of new materials to reduce the weight of the aircraft, while keeping the passenger capacity and range unchanged, the maximum take-off weight of the Il-62M can be reduced from 165 tons to only 120 tons, Lin Hongfei's idea is to be able to reduce it to about 115 tons, but even if it is 115 tons, two engines with a thrust of 110 kN are needed. The thrust of D-30KU can meet the requirements of use, but as a small bypass ratio engine with a bypass ratio of only 2, compared with those large bypass ratio engines with a bypass ratio of more than 4.5, the fuel economy is really a little worse, for the selection of the engine of the North County 200. Lin Hongfei was also very worried.
"The engine of the North County 200?" After a deep groan, Lin Hongfei nodded. "Okay. We can talk about that, but as far as I know, you don't seem to have a suitable engine...... Oh, and the V2500 would do, but Pratt. The Whitney Company is one of the shareholders of IAE, so ......"
He shrugged. A helpless expression.
"Certainly not the V2500," said Elizabeth. Sophie covered her mouth and chuckled, "Mr. Lin, what do you think of RB211?" ”
“RB211?” Lin Hongfei frowned. "This engine is a bit of a waste, isn't it? If I'm not mistaken, the smallest thrust in the RB211 series is above 191 kN? ”
"There is a 166 kN and 178 kN," said Elizabeth. Sophie, "It's used on the Boeing 757 and the TU-204 of the Russian Tupolev Design Bureau. ”
RB211 engines used in Boeing 757 and TU-204?
Lin Hongfei frowned and thought about it, and finally remembered which two engines they were: RB211-535C and RB211-535E4, of which 535C is the engine used by Boeing 757-200, and 535E4 is the optional engine of Boeing 757-300 and TU-204...... The Russians were not lightly pitted by the British on this engine, and they originally pinned their hopes on the use of RB211 engines on the TU-204, in the hope of being able to bring the TU-204 into line with the world and sell the TU-204 to the whole world.
But unfortunately, Lao Maozi was pitted by the British and the Americans together: after producing part of the RB211-535E4, Boeing excused itself to no longer produce Boeing 757-300, and after the Americans announced the Boeing 757-300, Rolls-Royce also immediately announced that it would no longer produce RB211-535 engines, and the Russian aviation industry's idea of turning the situation around with the help of external capital went bankrupt again.
"There is an impression," Lin Hongfei thought for a while, and finally nodded, "In this way, I really have some impressions, the maximum thrust of the engine used by the Boeing 757-200 is only 166 kN, right?" However, in my opinion, this thrust is still a bit large, and the maximum thrust is just right around 130 kN. ”
"130 kN?" Elizabeth. Sophie shook her head with a smile, "Mr. Lin, I have some suggestions, I wonder if you want to hear them?" ”
While advising Lin Hongfei, Elizabeth. Sophie was a little depressed: since the 70s, Rolls-Royce has been focusing on high-thrust and large-bypass ratio turbofan engines in the research of aero engines, and the only commercial engine with medium thrust is the V2500 produced by IAE, an investment company of Rolls-Royce, which can just meet the requirements of Lin Hongfei and Beijun 200, but IAE has four shareholders, including Pratt. Whitney has been put on a "blacklist" by Lin Hongfei...... This Nima is so fucked up.
"Oh?" Lin Hongfei thought about it for a while, but still nodded, "Please speak." ”
"The most remedial version of the Il-62: The maximum number of passengers of the Il-62MK has reached 195 in an all-economy layout, and our engineers at Rolls-Royce have analyzed it and decided that if the underwing engine scheme is adopted, if the landing gear is moved back by 5 meters, the fuselage can be lengthened by 6 to 8 meters...... Sorry, our engineers don't have detailed data on the Il-62M, this numerical intelligence is based on rough estimates...... With this lengthened 6 to 8 meters fuselage, plus the addition of the crew after the improvement of the avionics system, it means that a minimum of 84 seats can be added, which means that in the case of an all-economy layout, the maximum number of passengers of this aircraft can already reach 279 people, with a mixed business class and economy class second-class cabin layout, and also has a capacity of 240 to 245 seats, which is already beyond the carrying capacity of the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737, which you previously positioned this aircraft to compete with the Boeing 737, The Airbus A320 is competing for the market, but we think you should compete it with the Boeing 757," said Elizabeth. Sophie pulled her hair back and said, "This kind of large trunk aircraft with about 250 seats, for the sake of insurance, should still use the RB211 engine with greater thrust, not only the aircraft has a more sufficient power reserve, but also the flight speed can be higher." ”
Can it be so improved? When Elizabeth. Sophie said that the fuselage could be lengthened by 6 to 8 meters, which made Lin Hongfei suddenly ponder: There is no doubt that if the fuselage can be lengthened by 6 to 8 meters, and the passenger capacity of the Beijun 200 can be increased from 185 seats to 279 seats in the all-economy class layout, this is definitely a huge leap, this leap, Lin Hongfei can't refuse, but ......
Wrong!
Lin Hongfei suddenly shuddered.
He suddenly thought of one thing: the main landing gear of the IL-62M is at the rear of the wing, if the landing gear is moved back by 5 meters, the position of the landing gear will exceed the most trailing edge of the wing, how will the landing gear be arranged at that time? However, no matter how it is arranged, it will inevitably occupy part of the aircraft's cargo space, or at least make the cargo space uneven; Move the wings back? This means that the aerodynamic layout of the entire aircraft needs to be re-tested and calculated, which is the original intention of buying the Il-62M by myself in order to come up with the finished product as soon as possible...... Nima, damn Englishman, what a scheming! (To be continued......)
