As Lin Hongfei expected, Airbus did announce with great fanfare that they were ready to cooperate with a certain aviation company in the Republic to produce Airbus A320 passenger aircraft...... It is not clear that this company Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is clearly named, but the implication in and out of the words, as long as you are not a fool, you can basically understand it.

As soon as this news came out, the entire world was shaken: Nima, who can tell me what is going on? Why is McDonnell Douglas here talking about cooperation with the Chinese, and in the blink of an eye, Airbus is here again?

The high-level of the republic was even more shocked, and happiness came a little too suddenly, and everyone was a little dazed for a while.

Without waiting for Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to make a sound, AVIC stood up and expressed its attitude: "We warmly welcome Airbus and China in aviation technology cooperation, Airbus is one of the world's best civil aviation manufacturing enterprises, technology and design concepts are advanced, AVIC and Airbus cooperation will be able to greatly promote the development of China's aviation industry." ”

In AVIC's view, the signal released by Airbus is a ...... to itself The whole republic, who else but itself has the qualifications to let Airbus unleash goodwill?

The news also caused a huge stir in Europe, and the European media asked Airbus to verify the authenticity of the news: Is Airbus really ready to cooperate with AVIC in the Republic to produce Airbus A320 aircraft?

"Yes, we know the statement of AVIC, I know them, all the military and civil aircraft of the Republic come from this company, and I think Airbus will have the opportunity to cooperate with them in the future......"

"What? That's right, you're right. The initial partner we have selected is not AVIC, it is another company, this company is not very well-known in the aviation industry now, but their technical strength is very good, there is a very good technical team, it is our honor to be able to cooperate with them......"

When Airbus made it clear that the partner they had chosen was not AVIC, the faces of the relevant leaders of AVIC were swollen: dare to be affectionate and be self-inflicted?

……………………

"Boss, should we hold a press conference to show our attitude?" Faced with such a complex form, Tang Yong and Yuan Zhilun couldn't sit still. Some impatiently asked Lin Hongfei's opinion: according to Yuan Zhilun and Tang Yong's ideas, since Airbus has made it clear that it is willing to cooperate with its own company, then it is right that he should immediately stand up and express his attitude.

"There's no rush. Now is the time to be patient, from now until I have my instructions. As if it had never happened. ”

When this never happened? I didn't expect Lin Hongfei to make such an instruction to Tang Yong and Yuan Zhilun. Eyes widened in surprise: Boss, this is Airbus! The world's three largest civil aircraft manufacturing enterprises, which are as famous as Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, have all handed out olive branches, and you still pretend that this incident has not happened?

If it weren't for Lin Hongfei sitting in front of him so well, they really had to wonder if Lin Hongfei's brain was broken.

"Do you think the Europeans are so kind and enthusiastic about helping us develop our own aviation industry?" Lin Hongfei smiled. It's just that the smile is a little cold, "Looking through history, Europeans, who have always been a bunch of liars, hooligans, thieves and robbers, have ever done such a good thing of helping others?" Take a look at the Dongfang Automobile Factory and now the Dongfang Volkswagen Company. Look at the current Vostok Aircraft Factory, don't you understand what the Europeans are planning? Do you want our efforts to end up being an assembly plant for Airbus in the Republic? Datang, Zhilun, I didn't think you were so stupid in front of me, I don't think you were carried away by this cake drawn by the Europeans? ”

Yuan Zhilun and Tang Yong, who were scolded by Lin Hongfei, were sweating profusely!

Half of this sweat was scolded by Lin Hongfei, and half was frightened by the fact that Lin Hongfei said.

Indeed, as Lin Hongfei said, the company's aviation technology stumbling development to this day, is not the credit of a certain person, but the result of the entire company's efforts, everyone wants to be a real master of their core technology of the aviation industry, not such as the Oriental Volkswagen or the Oriental Aircraft Factory like the foreign comprador assembly plant, why did they get dizzy before, thinking about responding to Airbus's statement?

"So what do we do?" Yuan Zhilun, whose face was pale, asked cautiously.

"What to do, just as if this incident has not happened, you and Lao Luo have worked together to help the company cultivate 'internal strength', as for the aviation industry, unless Airbus takes the initiative to name it, we don't take a stand, we should never know that there is such a thing in Ludao...... The Farnborough Airshow is about to start in two months, and the current job is the Farnborough Airshow. ”

Tang Yong and Yuan Zhilun nodded heavily, both of them were a little ashamed in their hearts: That's right, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is the most appropriate way to deal with all changes with the same, and it can also help them win the greatest benefits.

"Ma Lao, how is the wing test of our supercritical airfoil with winglets?" Lin Hongfei asked Mr. Ma Fengshan about Mr. Ma, compared to the sugar-coated shell released by Airbus, Lin Hongfei was more concerned about Mr. Ma's progress on the North County 100 project.

Some time ago, after analyzing the trend of civil aircraft development in the next 20 years, Mr. Ma put forward the idea of abandoning the traditional swept wing used on the TU-134B aircraft and adopting a new wing with supercritical wings and winglets on the new Beijun/Golden Eagle 100.

The results of the calculation and simulation made Lin Hongfei agree to Mr. Ma's request without saying a word: compared with the aerodynamic scheme of the main wing of the supercritical airfoil with winglets with the highest starting efficiency, the aerodynamic efficiency of the traditional swept wing used on the TU-134B aircraft is too low.

Mr. Ma's calculations are that if the TU-134B aircraft adopts the aerodynamic scheme of supercritical wings and winglets, even if the area of the two wings is equal, the layout of supercritical wings and winglets can provide an additional 20% lift for the aircraft, and thus save at least 10% of aviation fuel.

After a lifetime of civil aviation aircraft, Mr. Ma knows what this means: this means that under the same fuel load, the aircraft with new wings will have a longer range, which will help airlines reduce operating costs...... For airlines, even if they only save 1% of operating costs, in a year, it will save "100 million yuan" in expenses, and at the same time, it will also greatly offset the disadvantage of the Golden Eagle/Beijun 100 aircraft using small bypass ratio turbofan engines.

"The general shape and structure have been determined, but the next thing is the most troublesome, it takes a lot of wind tunnels to determine the best wing shape and structure, and it is good to be able to come up with a final plan within two years, but then we have to determine the final feasibility through test flights, and maybe it will be modified according to the results of test flights." Old Man Ma knew the progress of every project under his command well, and when he heard this, he immediately said without thinking.

"Two years to be able to come up with a final plan? Very good. ”

When Lin Hongfei heard this, he nodded, and it was already a surprise for Lin Hongfei to be able to come up with a complete molding scheme of supercritical wings and winglets within two years, and he just caught up with the research and development progress of Beijun/Golden Eagle 100, and immediately said, "So I am relieved, old man, I mean, in addition to the full-size model in the cabin with Beijun 100 and Golden Eagle 100, we will bring the modified Beijun/Golden Eagle 100 and Beijun 200 models." Well, in addition to the aerodynamic layout of the two models with supercritical wings and winglets, the North County 200 has changed from the traditional tail crane four-engine layout to the aerodynamic layout of the wing-down double engine, what do you think? ”

In order to better simulate the sense of space in the cabin, making a full-size, high-fidelity 1:1 cabin model is what any aircraft will do in the research and development process, Lin Hongfei thought very simply, since he wants to participate in the exhibition, in addition to bringing the model over, he should also take out the modified Beijun 100 and Beijun 200 models to show the company's strength to the outside world.

"Such a big change to the aerodynamic layout of the North County 200? Such a short time is not enough. Old Man Ma hesitated a little, making such a big modification to the Beijun 200, that is, the original Il-62M, it was already necessary to redesign the overall aerodynamic layout of the aircraft, and Old Man Ma's brows immediately furrowed.

"My old horse, alas, this is just a model, a booth to show our technical strength, and what is displayed is just a model, since it is a model, it means that the final product may be different from what we exhibited at this time, as for the question of whether the supercritical wing and winglets have been optimized enough, the optimization of the wing, isn't it the next work we have to do." Lin Hongfei couldn't help but laugh and explained: Who asked you to come up with the final plan to make a model? All it takes is one thing that expresses our design philosophy. (To be continued......)
