Chapter 193: Yang Feng's Airbus
The final result of Yang Feng's tandem in Europe...
It really made his Airbus program gain a lot of supporters!
In fact, at this time, as long as you have a normal mind, you can see that jet airliners represent the future, but such a big project, not everyone can afford to play, the world has this strength, only the United States and Britain, or the Soviet Union, of course, they are another plane, others want to participate, no technology, no money, no market, the Airbus program gives them a choice.
Let's work together.
And the British government also hopes to have an extra double insurance in addition to the comet, after all, there are still not many orders for the comet until now.
Oil prices are too high, de. Havilland is a newcomer in the field of civil aviation, and a purely Britannica-made passenger aircraft, and is not favored by other European countries, this kind of business is accompanied by political colors, buying a United States passenger plane is to support Millock, buying a British airliner is to add to the Milcan Boss, which is very clear to European countries.
As for the prehistoric monsters of Bristol, the giant level of the Brabazon...
Forget it, it's a truly sad story.
The end result sat at the conference table a total of nine aircraft manufacturers, Kunpeng Aircraft Manufacturing Company, Hawker Siddeley, Vickers-Armstrong, who were producing small turboprop airliners Viscount, and they were selling well, Breguet, Dassault, Fokker, Saab, Spain's CASA, and Fiat.
"The issue of equity ratio is very simple, you open it yourself, and the rest belongs to me."
As the convener of this plan and the most distinguished person in the conference hall, Yang Yuanfeng sat in the host seat and said very simply.
In fact, in the eyes of these companies. This cooperation is all about the Oriental dubie. Fulfill his crazy thoughts. He needs such an aircraft, but he can't afford all the research and development costs himself, so he took it out to cooperate, and these people who are willing to cooperate are nothing more than those who don't have the ability to develop it alone, or even if they have the ability, they don't have such courage, get together and gamble, so they won't bet too much.
Of course. The main thing is that Yang Feng promised that if this aircraft meets his requirements, Daming Imperial Aviation will order at least fifty planes, so that if he works a little harder and lobbied the government of his country, it is estimated that he can sell another fifty planes.
Hawk. Siddeley was relatively wealthy, and they recognized it as ten percent, and Vickers had the Viscount's sales to back it up. They weren't too short of money, and they eventually accepted eight percent. Breguet, Dassault, and Fokker are not rich in funds, and in the end they admit seven percent, Saab because of the support of the Swedish government, but recognizes the same eight percent as Vickers, Fiat and SACA five percent each, so that the sum is just over half, which makes Yang Feng very speechless, and it is simply too sad to send you a chance to make money.
"No more?"
He asked kindly.
And then a bunch of shakers.
In this case, so be it, the shareholding structure of Airbus has been determined, and 43% of the equity of Kunpeng Airlines has become the largest shareholder without any suspense, and the next step is the technical standard of this passenger aircraft.
"This is the plane I envisioned."
On the screen behind Yang Feng, a picture version of the Boeing 707 was released, he pointed to the screen and said: "The maximum take-off weight is 150 tons, the maximum cruising speed is 950 kilometers, the economic speed is more than 850 kilometers, the take-off distance is 3,000 meters, the landing distance is no more than 2,000 kilometers, the maximum fuel range is 10,000 kilometers, the maximum load range is 6,000 kilometers, the maximum passenger capacity is 200 people, and four wing suspension jet engines are used, and the swept wings are used." ”
"Führer, this requires four very large engines, and the thrust must be at least eight tons or more, and the thrust-to-weight ratio must be close to five at the minimum."
Ron, who was present together, exclaimed that Rollo had been designated as the engine supplier by Yang Fengnei, so he naturally had to come over to determine the engine problem first.
"yes, do you think I'm going to have eight engines like Braba Zong? Who would buy an airliner with eight engines? There are only four at most, don't tell me that Rolls-Royce doesn't have this ability, if you don't have the ability to provide it, then explain it as soon as possible, and I will go to Pratt &�� or General Electric. ”
Yang Feng said.
"Your Excellency, time is running out."
Ron said with a sad face, it is true that the time is too tight, you must know that the engine they provided for the Comet passenger plane, the thrust has just reached four tons, and it is indeed difficult for Airbus to double if it flies in five or three years.
"Is that impossible to do?"
"No, if you can test fly in five or five years, it will definitely be fine."
"That still can't be done, it looks like I'm really going to find Pratt & Whitney."
"No, no, Führer, Führer are you interested in using another engine?"
"Turboprops? With a turboprop, I might as well buy the Brabazon directly, and the Bristol company will definitely cheer, they can finally sell that plane. ”
"It's not a turboprop, it's a turbofan that we're developing, a Conway engine for the Warrior bomber program, an engine similar to Evan but more suitable for civilian use, and with better low-altitude performance."
Ron hurriedly said.
I'm just waiting for this thing.
Yang Feng thought to himself, but asked Vickers's manager with a puzzled expression: "Does the Warrior bomber use this kind of engine?" ”
"Plans, just plans."
The latter said with a smile.
"So can this engine be delivered on my schedule?"
Yang Feng asked Ron again.
"If we have sufficient financial support and we go all out on research and development, we can expect to increase the thrust to 18,000 pounds or more in five or three years."
Ron said.
Well, their real purpose is actually to sell Conway to Yang Feng, although Conway's progress has not yet caught up with Evan, but the key is that Evan is suitable for fighters, so some people use it, but Conway is only suitable for large aircraft, so it is only used by the improvement plan of the Warrior bomber. And this project is not safe, maybe it will be canceled one day, so that their investment will be wasted, if Yang Feng can be coaxed to invest, even if the Warrior MK2 plan is canceled at that time, this engine will not be smashed in his hands, as for whether the thrust can be increased to 18,000 pounds in five or three years......
Well, he blew it, but what if Yang Feng's money was invested by then? It's just a matter of waiting a few more years.
"So, that means I want this engine, and I have to pay you some of the investment?"
Yang Feng said.
Ron nodded a little awkwardly.
"That's going to have to work together, we're going to set up a joint venture company to develop this engine, and my technicians are also involved in the development, otherwise how can I guarantee that you can deliver it on my schedule? My plane has been developed here, but you can't hand over the engine, so who should I cry to? ”
"So?"
Ron was a little embarrassed.
"Anyway, this is my condition, either you guarantee that you can give me the eight-ton thrust before the fifth three, and the thrust weight is more than the fifth level of Evan, or I will go to someone else, but fortunately, there are still many people for me to choose from in this regard, and if you want me to use Conway, then set up a joint venture company to jointly develop this engine, do you have any other opinions?"
Yang Feng asked the others as he spoke.
"No, as long as the engine problem is solved, we can absolutely guarantee the development of the remaining airframe."
Breguet said.
They really have no opinion, aircraft design is a trivial matter for them, the key to this thing is the engine, as long as there is a suitable engine, let alone an airplane, even a stone they can get into the sky.
"So where is our new company located, if we are working together? And how to determine the equity ratio of the two parties? ”
Ron said.
This is actually the result they expected, the engine is not an airplane, and if the aircraft development fails, it will fail, but if the engine is successful, there is still a place to sell, Yang Feng paid a lot of money to Luo Luo, if his plane is successful, it is okay to say, if it is not successful, wouldn't it be a big mistake to make a wedding dress for others? He will definitely not do this kind of thing, and it is the most reasonable way to solve the problem by engaging in a joint venture, and even if the Airbus project fails, he will not even lose the money for engine development.
"Of course, the equity is 50% each, and it doesn't matter where the company is! If I had to choose, I would have chosen Prussia, or the Netherlands, and I would not object to it if you thought Britain was suitable. ”
Yang Feng said.
He really doesn't care about this, he just wants to get Conway out, as long as Daming's technicians participate in this project, his borrowing nest will be completed, when Conway is installed with Airbus, his own factory can fully announce that according to the technology learned in the joint development of this engine, a small Conway transformer suitable for fighters has been developed separately, that is, Spey, the thing used on the flying leopard.
He tossed this circle, just to find a reasonable source for his engine technology, the source of turbojet technology has been solved with the production rights introduced to Evan, but the development of step by step is still too slow, he needs a certain leap forward, so he must get the turbofan out as soon as possible, and this is the simplest and safest way.
"We want to take 51 percent of the equity."
Ron said.
They can be joint ventures, but they must have a controlling stake, and this is a matter of principle.
"Yes!"
Yang Feng said with a smile.
"Then your Excellency, where should our new company be located?"
Dassault asked.
"Well, British?"
Breguet and Dassault shook their heads.
"Gaul?"
Except for Dassault and Breguet, the others all shook their heads.
"That's easy, draw lots!"
"Catch, draw lots?"
"yes, is there a better solution in this situation? But I won't be involved, this factory will definitely be located in Europe, so it's up to you to draw lots to decide, whoever catches Airbus's final assembly plant will be located in whom's country. ”
Yang Feng said. (To be continued.) )
