Chapter 1647: The Commonality of Airplanes and Automobiles & The Conspiracy in the Shadows (Three Watches, Three Watches)
"There is no problem at all in terms of technology, and the range can be comparable to that of the Boeing 737 after replacing it with a new fuel-efficient large bypass than turbofan engine, but politically ......" Mr. Ma's eyes are a little worried: If the Americans know that the second group of AVIC has developed an aircraft with more than 110 seats on the basis of the North County 100, they will definitely jump their feet, right?
"Hmm...... Politics is indeed a problem," Lin Hongfei nodded, but the so-called "political problem" he thought about and the "political problem" that Old Man Ma thought about are obviously not the same thing, "Dongfang Aircraft Factory doesn't care about them, and now they are embarrassed with a dog, yes, dare to jump out at this time to find a draw?" As for Boeing and Airbus will put pressure on our country......"
Lin Hongfei paused, and suddenly smiled, "When we were working on atomic bombs and nuclear submarines, the Americans and Soviets also exerted political and military pressure on us, but didn't they do it the same?" If you take this thing seriously, he is really pressured, if you don't take it seriously, he is like that......"
"But...... If the FAA doesn't certify our aircraft as airworthy, we won't be able to sell them in the U.S. and Europe. Old Man Ma was still worried.
"Airbus planes have obtained FAA airworthiness certificates, but how many Airbus planes have been sold in North America?" Lin Hongfei sneered, "Similarly, none of the Boeing and McDonnell Douglas aircraft have not obtained the FAA airworthiness certificate, but since Airbus has launched its own A300, A320, A330 and A340, can the same type of aircraft of the Americans still be sold in Europe?" How much does it matter whether our aircraft can obtain the FAA airworthiness certificate? As long as we can obtain the airworthiness certificate of the Civil Aviation Administration of the Republic. ”
Old Man Ma was speechless for a while.
But he had to admit that what Lin Hongfei said was really reasonable.
Don't talk about fair competition and market openness, the old man has lived for most of his life, and he has seen a lot of all kinds of ups and downs in the world, and those countries that shout about fair competition and market openness all day long. There has never been a real fair competition and market openness with you: when their products have an absolute advantage in your country, they will cry and shout for you to open the market, everyone, fair competition, but when your products are equal to or higher than the quality of their products, fair competition? Hell there!
"That's ......" Old Man Ma quickly adjusted his mood and said to Lin Hongfei, "Okay, then I'll talk to the heads of various civil aviation companies and listen to what they mean...... But I guess they'd be happy to see planes with more than 110 seats. ”
This is true, now in the domestic civil aviation passenger market. Boeing 737 has become the absolute mainstream of trunk transportation, but the total number of seats of Boeing 737 is only 110 to 130 as, and now the domestic civil aviation industry is not very prosperous, the average seat rate is less than seventy, if Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. can really develop a 110-seat level, full seat when the maximum range of about 4000 kilometers of aircraft. It was almost completely problematic to replace the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320.
"Forget it, I'll go talk to them......" Lin Hongfei thought for a moment. I'll see if I can hold a meeting on behalf of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. Bring together the CEOs of various airlines and talk freely...... Ma Lao will work hard for you, make a calculation during this time, and see how far you can go. ”
"Okay, I'll let the boys calculate the feasibility when I go back." Old Man Ma didn't have the slightest feeling that he had been seized power, and immediately nodded. From his point of view. He was the last thing he wanted to deal with those government officials, and since Mr. Lin was willing to provoke this matter, it really couldn't be better.
"You don't have to catch the North County 100 and don't let go, lengthening the North County 100 is a way. But shortening the North County 200 is also a good way," Lin Hongfei said, "The cabin space of the North County 200 is more spacious, in terms of space size, it is basically the same as the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 series, and the cargo capacity is also stronger, you can also think about it from this perspective." Lin Hongfei said.
For the airplane, Lin Hongfei thinks very simply, since the car can be based on the same chassis through the skin, lengthening, widening and heightening and so on to deform countless kinds of cars, just like the previous generation of Volkswagen, around 2000, their Passat and Audi A6 share the same platform, and the Passata platform, not only the Passata platform, almost all Volkswagen models are developed on the basis of the Golf chassis after different adjustments and deformations.
If cars can do this, why can't airplanes? In fact, airplanes can do this, and Airbus has set a good example: on the basis of the Airbus A320, Airbus has developed the "wheelbase extended" A321, the "wheelbase shortened" A319, and the "wheelbase super shortened" A318...... There have been successful examples, and Lin Hongfei doesn't think there's anything wrong with him doing so.
"That's right!" Old Man Ma's eyes suddenly lit up!
In this short period of time, his main energy is on the North County 100, always thinking about lengthening the body of the North County 100 to achieve various purposes, but forgetting that compared with the North County 100, the North County 200 is really a guy with huge potential, and the North County 200 can be modified, and even the huge trunk transportation market covering between 110 and 220 people can be realized, which is the real development reason.
The more I thought about it, the more excited I felt, and the old man Ma was so excited that he couldn't wait to go back to the laboratory now and calculate how difficult it would be to do so...... Feasibility is perfectly fine, but difficulty in implementation is something that must be considered.
But remembering another thing, he stopped wanting to go back: "By the way, Mr. Lin, my friends in Pakistan are quite interested in our Yun 7-200A and Beijun 100. ”
"Friends of Pakistan?" Lin Hongfei was stunned for a moment, "Our friends from Pakistan also came to participate in this air show?" ”
"Not only did they come, but they also brought out their own exhibits." Old Man Ma's smile was full of ...... no matter how he looked at it. It seems to be a taste of helplessness.
"Uh...... Do they have their own exhibits? Lin Hongfei asked in disbelief, he really couldn't imagine that the children of "Pakistan Railway" would also have their own aircraft exhibits.
"Actually. Their exhibits are still the techniques you gave them. Old Man Ma looked at Lin Hongfei with ridicule in his eyes: he knew too well what the so-called "plane" that Lin Hongfei gave to Pakistan was, to put it mildly, it was a super-large power delta wing with hard wings!
Well, the power delta wing of the ordinary open cockpit is still a little different, the cockpit of this power delta wing adopts a closed design, but in any case it can't change the essence of the power delta wing, as for various anti-crash design, damage management design...... Well, when he was engaged in this thing, Lin Hongfei didn't think about it, since Lin Hongfei didn't think of it. So Lin Hongfei estimates that the possibility of Pakistanis thinking of these is not very large.
"Anyway, they finally have their own plane, don't they?" In desperation, Lin Hongfei had no choice but to comfort himself in this way.
"That's a good thing." Old Man Ma nodded, and he also admitted that what Lin Hongfei said made sense. No matter how much Pakistan's "fake" plane makes people laugh, it can carry a few people into the sky after all. For Pakistan, which was previously unable to build aircraft. That's a huge leap forward!
Thinking of this, the old man felt much calmer, "By the way, I forgot to tell you, the Pakistanis also converted that plane into a multi-purpose aircraft, except for the basic model that can only fly 8 people." They also added machine guns and uncontrolled rocket launchers on both sides of that power delta wing......"
I don't know what's going on with Lu Dao, hearing the words of Old Man Ma, Lin Hongfei always has a strange picture in his heart: a pickup truck that can no longer be used for civilian use has been equipped with general-purpose machine guns, heavy machine guns, 20mm to 25mm machine guns, RPG rocket launchers lined up in a row, 63-type 16-tube 107mm rocket launchers known as "guerrilla strategic weapons", and even a helicopter airborne rocket launch nest that I don't know where Lu Dao was seized...... This is a scene that can often be seen in war-torn areas of Africa and the Middle East, now. The scene seems to have escalated.
"Ha Lu Ha ......" Old Man Ma finally couldn't help the amusement in his heart and burst into laughter, "It's very happy, right?" I can't imagine what the Pakistanis think, that fragile aluminum thing, which can be shot down with just a shuttle of rifle bullets, is a typical offensive and weak defense......"
"But no matter what, people still have their own air attack and strike power, and it's okay to use them to carry out low-intensity, low-intensity patrol missions and interdiction missions, isn't it?" Lin Hongfei didn't think it was ridiculous, "At least they can make it themselves, which means that they finally don't have to be controlled by others, which is always a good thing, right?" ”
This time, Old Man Ma stopped laughing, he was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.
————————————————————————
Lin Hongfei, who returned to Moscow again, had a very happy life every day, a variety of aircraft products of the second group of AVIC fighters and the aircraft tractor displayed by Lin Hongfei on a hitchhiker, which aroused the interest of many people, including even representatives of airlines from some moderately developed countries...... Even if there is an international order, it is only after the North County 100 has been flying for a few years and has been verified to be reliable and economical.
But compared to the happiness of Boss Lin, the old hairymen are obviously not very happy, especially Alexey. Tupolev, I'm not happy to the extreme!
He never imagined that one day in the future, the "scraps", which he considered backward and needed to be thrown into the garbage heap, would become a huge threat to the interests of the Tupolev Design Bureau!
Yes, Alexey . Mr. Tupolev was already feeling the threat from the 100 in the Northern Counties, and for Alexey . There is nothing more annoying for a man of such pride as Tupolev to be a threat to himself after something he doesn't have to throw away has been picked up by someone else...... Alexei. Mr. Tupolev, of course, would not admit that while he hated it, there was a deep fear in his heart.
"Gentlemen, you can all see that the country is catching up at a speed that we all find incredible," the curtain tightened in the conference room without turning on the lights, Alexey . "Although this country has not purchased aircraft from our country for many years, it seems unlikely that it will have a hard impact on the sales of our products, but we must not forget that the international sales market they are positioning is also our international market, and compared with their products with better quality and lower prices, the competitive advantage of our products has been greatly reduced." ”
Sad Alexey . The truth of the matter is that compared with the TU-154 that Russia is now producing and the Yak-42D that is in production, but in fact it has fallen into a semi-discontinued state, the Beijun 100 and Beijun 200 of AVIC Group 2 are not only more advanced in technology, but also cheaper. How can the Russian aviation industry, which has always hit the Asian, African and Latin American aviation markets with low prices, be embarrassed?
"What are we going to do?" In the dark, a voice with a deep hatred came to mind, "Stop Sino-Russian trade? That obviously won't work, now there is an extreme shortage of light industrial products in Russia, and we need light industrial products from this bastard country to maintain the basic stability of the country. ”
"That's right, we need the light industry of this bastard country, but don't forget, this bastard country also needs our advanced fighters to protect their homeland," another voice sounded, "Compared with the great Russia, the country's defense industry is still at the level of the late 50s and early 60s, isn't it ready to purchase some military equipment this time?" Perhaps we can think of a way in this regard, on the premise that they abandon the development of large civil aircraft, otherwise we will no longer provide them with advanced fighters.
