206 airworthiness audit
Although it was hot enough, it turned out that the heated discussion in the media and public opinion was just an appetizer, and the reaction from the business community was more violent than expected. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After a short period of silence for several days, during which the authenticity of the cargo spacecraft was confirmed through various channels, countless large enterprises and research institutions sent letters of intent to Infinity Future. Although this new product has only just been revealed, there are discerning people everywhere, and this kind of product that may disrupt and reshape the transportation and related industries cannot be taken too seriously.
A more immediate response came from the capital markets. On the first stock trading day after the press conference, Tencent's share price opened higher, rising as much as 5% at the close, and the stock price stood at a new level of HK$260, and continued to rise for the next four days, and finally stabilized at a high price of 275 yuan. In just one week, Tencent's market value soared by 8 percent, adding more than 200 billion yuan to its market value.
JD.com, which is listed in the United States, as the first beneficiary of this incident, was also chased by funds, rising by more than 10 percent in a week, with its stock price breaking through $45 for the first time, and the total market value added nearly $6 billion. This is a very rare situation in the more mature U.S. stock market.
Even Facebook, because of its partial stake in Kamodo, has gained an unexpected rise of 2% in the past few days.
A number of media outlets have published articles and shouted: The capital market is crazy! More people are asking the question: If Infinite Future is a public company, how high will the stock go? It's unimaginable.

As the origin point of all kinds of disturbances in the outside world, Infinite Future Company seems to be calm enough.
Except for the employees of Kamodo Company, who are still stationed in Jianghai City, the other teams have all moved to the new park in Yidong, and after the initial hectic time, they have entered a normal work rhythm. The company's existing positions are basically technical posts, for young people as the main force of technical employees, as long as there is wifi and computers, there is food and drink, the world is big, stay anywhere is the same.
So far, the entire park staff is only more than 600 people, in terms of the size of the park, it is appropriate to describe the vast and sparsely populated area, except for the headquarters building, accommodation area and several specific production areas, other areas are difficult to see most of the time, many areas in the park are covered by perennial tall trees and lawns, coupled with a large investment in landscaping design and construction, the first time you enter it is like entering a forest park.
In the past few days, the working environment map posted by employees has exploded the circle of friends and Weibo, attracting all kinds of envy and hatred, but it has added a lot of unexpected help to the company's new recruitment plan.
In recent years, the state has encouraged people to start businesses, and there are a lot of entrepreneurs gathered on the Internet, which makes it extremely easy for IT and technology talents to find jobs, and the requirements for relevant talents are naturally rising: the salary requirements are only the basic standards, and the office environment is not good, and the surrounding transportation is inconvenient, and so on.
Nowadays, the name of Infinite Future Company is loud enough to attract the talents they want, but the new park has moved away from the most prosperous city in China and moved to Yidong, a small city more than two hours away by car, which makes many people who have already negotiated their initial intentions hesitate. This show of the office environment incident has been lively on the Internet, which has made many people instantly firm up their thoughts about coming. It can be regarded as an unintentional willow shady.
However, the forest park-style park is limited to the front mountain area, compared with the lush front mountain area, the back mountain area is much more monotonous, separated by a mountain, at a glance is a flat and unbounded flight runway area.
Recently, in the hangar in Houshan District, Chen Wenhao took the newly formed aviation project team through recruitment and accompanied the monitoring team sent by the airworthiness certification body of the Civil Aviation Administration to carry out the work.
At present, the aviation project team is less than 20 people, the members are mainly from domestic scientific research institutes, some of them are graduate and doctoral students recruited through the campus, there are no bull-level figures, it is not that the company can not afford to have a sufficiently attractive salary, but in the industry to make a name for themselves, most of them are relatively senior, and they are not optimistic about the prospects of a domestic private enterprise to break into the aerospace industry, so naturally no one was invited.
However, this is not directly related to Chen Wenhao personally taking charge of the project team leader. The reason is that from design to production, no one but him participated in the launch of the cargo spacecraft, and after the blessing of alien black technology, as long as there are enough materials, energy will continue to be produced. He is the only one who knows this product best, and he is unique.
However, doing business should not be such a process. For the internal, the emergence of these new products without warning, quietly, in the lament that the company's technical strength is strong, the level of confidentiality is too high at the same time, it is inevitable that there will be no integration, untrusted emotions breeding. When the alien civilization cannot be disclosed to the public, how to build a team and better digest alien technology has a long way to go.
Speaking of airworthiness certification, it is actually a country that believes that a certain type of aircraft and parts meet safety standards and allows it to fly in the country's airspace. At present, the most influential airworthiness certification is the FAA in the United States and EASA in Europe.
This certification system is very complex, many small countries do not have the financial resources and technology to carry out their own certification system, they often use one of these two standard systems, as long as they have passed the airworthiness certification of the United States or Europe, they can be used in these countries. In fact, this is also one of the important reasons why Boeing in the United States and Airbus in Europe can jointly monopolize the global large passenger aircraft market. Even the rules are set by them, and rising stars who want to develop their own large passenger aircraft are naturally suppressed, sometimes even beyond the scope of market competition.
For example, for a while, the European side was unhappy with Lao Maozi, and somehow, they focused on the IL96 produced by Lao Maozi, and EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) directly declared that it was unsafe and refused to allow this type of aircraft to fly over European airspace. How can the fighting nation be so easy to bully, and directly say that it will cut off European oil and gas supplies if the ban is not lifted. Then, EASA relented and immediately stated that IL96 was safe and could fly over European airspace.
Therefore, China began to engage in its own airworthiness certification system very early, that is, CAAC certification, many of which refer to the FAA. However, Europe and the United States do not recognize this standard, and only a very small number of sub-project certifications can be recognized. However, some third-world countries in Africa and South America agree with China's CAAC certification.
Because of this, CAAC certification is actually very mature, and it can be regarded as a strengthened Chinese version of the FAA certification that Laomei has perfected for decades. When it comes to examining the airworthiness standards of a new type of aircraft, it is sufficient to test them according to the standards one by one. This time, the inspectors sent by the airworthiness authorities felt a little confused.
The specifications of the supervision team are unusually high, the deputy bureau in charge of the work Zhou led the team, the most experienced director of the technical department Zhu presided over the specific work, and the number of 14 people in the team refreshed the history, and the backbone force was all included.
A group of people gathered in the temporary patchwork office area on the side of the hangar, and Infinite Future Company readily provided various documents such as design drawings, spare parts details, and production materials for the cargo spacecraft. In the few days since they arrived, they have already conducted a preliminary review of these documents.
Big problem!
The problem is not to understand and not to believe! The people in the monitoring team feel that what they have seen in the past few days has almost subverted their professional cognition.
It is unbelievable that a set of electric engines and jet steering systems can send tens of tons of weight into the air. If it weren't for the eight silver-glittering finished spaceships right under their noses, they would definitely think that this was some kind of pseudo-technology concocted by the people.
The principle is not difficult to understand, but the performance parameters identified in the technical documentation are tens of thousands of times higher than the performance of products known in the market. Don't believe it, don't be afraid that you are serious, all accessories have finished products waiting for random inspection at any time. After several team meetings, everyone reached the same opinion: Infinite Future must crush the existing technology in the field of electric motors, from materials to processes to capacitor technology.
However, this common opinion does not help. The problem is still not solved, and the existing audit standards are not suitable for this unprecedented unmanned electrically powered aircraft.
According to the existing audit standards, basically all components on an aircraft have corresponding indicators, just to name a few examples, the main components include, avionics system, high lift system, hydraulic system, fuel system, landing gear system, engine vibration monitor, engine interface control device, main flight control system, cockpit control system, etc., all have corresponding sub-project acceptance standards.
However, on cargo spacecraft, many sub-projects are ineffective, and the piloting system, which is simplified to the extreme, is completely handed over to the artificial intelligence that comes with each spacecraft to handle, and the ground can be remotely controlled if necessary; The spacecraft has no landing gear, let alone a runway, and can take off and land vertically, which makes the take-off and landing test that the new model of aircraft is most afraid of meaningless; In particular, the heart of the aircraft, the use of electric engines, makes the original set of standards unintelligible.
What to do? You can't do it cold. The Mission immediately compiled the situation into a detailed report and reported it to the higher-ups.
Within two days, the reply came down, and the content was worth pondering, "First complete the audit project that can be done, safety is always the first consideration, but there are major innovations in technology, and our work must also be innovative." If necessary, you can fly first. ā
Director Zhou used his connections to inquire, and there was vague news that it was not only the meaning of the leaders of the General Bureau, but also the voice of the military bosses.
In that case, roll up your sleeves and work hard. After receiving the instructions, it only took half a day for the monitoring team to sort out a list of tests that can be done at this stage, mainly three categories: ground bench test, ground installation test, installed flight test, including de-icing ground test, static fatigue test, air tightness test and other conventional tests, as well as some new safety tests for unmanned driving.
For a while, the originally calm Houshan area began to get busy.
