In mind, Rolls-Royce's BR-715 turbofan engine is a very good performance of large bypass ratio small and medium-thrust aero engine, its fuel economy and reliability fully reflect the world's top old empire heritage, but also fully verify the correctness of the sentence "skinny camel is bigger than horse", although the D-36 and the latest improved D-436 engine used on the North County 100 are similar to the BR715 in terms of maximum thrust and cruising thrust. However, when it comes to fuel economy, reliability, noise level, engine life and overhaul intervals, D-36 and D-436 and BR715 are still far behind.

In the face of a completely different face from a few years ago, you can still see a touch of flattery on the face of Rolls-Royce's deputy general manager Otter. Anderson, Lin Hongfei gave an affirmative answer, "No problem, of course we can cooperate, the BR700 series engine can become one of the optional engines for our Golden Eagle 100 private jet developed on the basis of the North County 100 and the North County 100." ”

got this answer from Lin Hongfei, Ottel. Anderson let out a long sigh!

After losing the Boeing 717, the main installation target, the BR715 once faced the dilemma of not having a model to match, although outside of the Boeing 717, the world's top business aircraft manufacturers: Gulfstream and Bombardier will choose this engine for a few top private jet executive class, and the sales of less than 20 units a year are not even enough for the expenses and costs of the entire production line.

After getting the news from Boeing that the Boeing 717 was going to be discontinued, Rolls-Royce was anxious and didn't know what to do, after all, for an aero engine. Becoming the object of commercial aircraft is what they want most, private jets? How many planes can this thing sell in a year?

Now, with Lin Hongfei's commitment, with the current market sales of Beijun 100/Golden Eagle 100, it should not be a problem to sell more than 100 engines every year.

"Xie Lu Xie, Xie Lu Xie," Ottel. Anderson held Lin Hongfei's hand and shook it violently, compared with a few years ago, the deputy general manager of the world's top aero engine manufacturing company can no longer be proud in front of Lin Hongfei.

No way, who let AVIC No. 2 Group already produce all aero engines from 4,000 kg to 15,000 kg thrust.

"You're welcome. Who has made us old friends, Britain is our country's main partner in Europe, and we all have a responsibility and obligation to maintain our friendship together. Lin Hongfei said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, the traditional friendship between China and the UK has a long history, and we must all work hard to maintain this friendship." Ottel. Anderson nodded repeatedly. A heart was raised: Lin Hongfei, this bastard, what are you going to do?

Don't blame Ottel. Anderson thought so. It's really that he knows Lin Hongfei too well as a bastard. "No profit, no early" is the Lin Hongfei that is specifically referred to.

"Since we're friends, we've done you Rolls-Royce so much, can't you do us a little favor?" Lin Hongfei smiled at Ottel. Anderson is available in Ottel. In Anderson's view, Lin Hongfei is clearly a greedy dragon with a bloody mouth wide open.

"Uh...... For example? "Not sure what Lin Hongfei wants, Ottel. Anderson said stiffly.

Knowing that Lin Hongfei, this bastard will never be just a simple cooperative Rolls-Royce. Back in the time of Pyottel. Before Anderson came to Lin Hongfei, he had reached some consensus: if the two sides can really establish a cooperation, Rolls-Royce should not consider paying some price, as long as Lin Hongfei's request is not too excessive.

"We look forward to working with Rolls-Royce on the stability, reliability and longevity of civil aircraft engines." Lin Hongfei bit the word "civilian" very hard.

Ottel. Anderson suddenly secretly complained!

The current aero engine field, especially the aero engine field used in large aircraft. There is basically no difference between civilian and military engines, for example, the engines used in the C-5 and C-17 transport planes are simply directly based on the ordinary civilian engines with slight modifications, and the engines of the C-17 transport planes have not even been changed, and are directly the engines of civil aircraft.

Lin Hongfei said simply, and the word "civilian" came out easily, but these techniques are techniques that "Batumi" strictly prohibits the transfer to the Chinese: these are all types of techniques that can easily be turned into military techniques.

"What? Rolls-Royce disagrees? Lin Hongfei was a little unhappy, and couldn't help frowning, "Isn't it?" ”

"No, it's not," Ottel. Anderson hurriedly waved his hand, although he wanted to say "That's what it means" in his heart, but he also knew that he couldn't say this anyway, so he could only say it to Lin Hongfei euphemistically, "These techniques are within the scope of the prohibition of 'Batumi'......"

"What is prohibited in 'Batumi' is military technology, but these are all 'civilian' technology, such as the French's 'Dolphin' helicopter and the Arriel 2C engine, which are "standard" civilian technologies, are not also transferred to us," Lin Hongfei said step by step, of course, we can also think that this is actually a threat, "Since the French's 'Dolphin' helicopter and the Arye 2C engine can be transferred to us, then I think that we both have a good relationship in the service life of the aero engine, economy, Reliability and other aspects of the sense of cooperation in full compliance with international norms ......"

"Of course, if Rolls-Royce is willing to cooperate with us in these areas, we will not let our friends suffer, and we will test other Rolls-Royce engines, suitable as an optional engine for the North County 200A/B; Our company is developing a new generation of large aircraft North County 400, which you should know about, and you can also appear as a supplier of North County 400 optional engines. ”

I just wanted to say that I disagreed. When Anderson heard Lin Hongfei's last sentence, he swallowed his disagreement back into his stomach.

North County 400 this plane, Otter. Anderson naturally knows that this is a large commercial aircraft developed by AVIC Group 2 on the basis of the former Soviet Union's AN-218, which can fly across continents, and its direct competitors are Boeing 717 and Airbus A330/340, and it is reported that the prototype will be completed during this time, and if nothing else, it will probably start test flights at the end of this year, if Rolls-Royce can really become a North County 200A/ One of the engine suppliers of the B and North County 400 aircraft, Rolls-Royce, has found a new profit growth point!

Thinking of the increasingly rapid growth rate of the civil aviation market of the Republic of China in recent years, and thinking of the second group of AVIC by firmly occupying more than 60% of this market and making a lot of money. Anderson's refusal could not be said in any way, and after a long moment, Otter. Anderson finally bowed his head, "Lin, this joke is not funny. ”

"No, I'm not kidding, and I'm not going to joke about it." Lin Hongfei shook his head, he could understand Ottel. Anderson's concern gave him an affirmative answer.

“…… But this will affect your engine production. "Hesitant for a moment, Ottel. Anderson finally pointed out a point, and this was the point he was most concerned about.

"Yes, it has an impact," Lin Hongfei nodded, not denying this, "but this situation will soon become different, the FAA will soon issue a certificate of conformity to our North County 200A/B, as a product positioned in the same market as Boeing 737 and Airbus A320, after obtaining the type certificate, perhaps our North County 200A/B overtime will not be able to meet the needs of the market, and the engine production capacity may also be insufficient. In addition, the introduction of another engine supplier will give customers more choice......"

"I see." Ottel. Anderson frowned and thought about it, then nodded his head.

He had to admit that Lin Hongfei was right, even if the Beijun 200A/B was not exported, but with the rapid growth of the republic's economy and the resulting market demand for large civil aircraft, AVIC No. 2 Group may not be able to meet the needs of the market even if it uses its strength to eat.

At the same time, this can be regarded as compensation for the possible losses caused by the cooperation between Rolls-Royce and AVIC Second Group: the Americans are certainly not happy to see Rolls-Royce cooperate with the Chinese, and may take certain restrictive measures against Rolls-Royce, but with the cooperation with the Chinese, Otter. Anderson was sure that Rolls-Royce had more to gain than it had lost.

"Well, I personally have no problem in principle, it would be an honor for Rolls-Royce to be able to cooperate in this way, but my authority is not sufficient to make this decision, and I need to convey your meaning to the board of directors." Thinking through the opportunities and possible problems, Ottel. Anderson made a quick decision. (To be continued......)
