"The overall length of the Yujia C500 is 73.8 meters, the wingspan is 64 meters, the height is 17.2 meters, and the wing area is 556.8 square meters;"

"The width of the fuselage is 6.1 meters, the width of the cabin is 5.6 meters, the length is 58.2 meters, and it can accommodate 420 passengers;"

"Fuel capacity of 84,000 liters, water storage capacity of 254 cubic meters, cargo hold with 44 LD3 cargo containers;"

"The cruising speed is 925 km / h, the maximum flight speed is up to 982 km / h, and the range with a full load is about 8600 km;"

"Equipped with two Dijiang Air-D turbofan engines and four large 20 megawatt electric motors, the maximum thrust of the engine is between 380 and 460 kN;"

"If you switch to electric drive mode, you can maintain a cruising speed of 720-780 kilometers per hour, and using wireless charging technology, the theoretical range of the Feather C500 is unlimited......"

Liao Hongkai smiled indifferently and said eloquently.

He has been working in the private aircraft industry for 20 years and has witnessed the development of the civil aircraft industry.

At first, I wanted to learn the advanced technologies of airframe structure, power plant, avionics system and electromechanical system through imitation and joint venture.

However, whether it is a beautiful country or a European country, the attitude is very consistent, and it is no problem to buy engines, landing gear and pods at a high price in Dahua, but if you want to get a closer look at the core technology.

In a word, no way!

The vigilance is so deep that it is beyond the imagination of ordinary people!

After ten years of hard work, in addition to the fuselage, wings, tail and some standard components, most of the mechanical equipment, instruments and propeller accessories can only rely on cooperation and imports.

To put it simply, the upper limit of capacity is only limited to the shell, and all the engines and airborne equipment inside must be supplied by companies such as Boyin, General Motors, and Futu.

Therefore, in desperation, Liao Hongkai accepted Chen Heyu's invitation and resolutely joined Shanhai Aircraft Factory as the project leader.

"Six large 20-megawatt electric motors?"

"How is it possible to reach a flight speed of 720 kilometers with electric drive mode?"

"The take-off weight of a civil airliner is close to 300 tons, could it be that Shanhai Group has made breakthrough research results in materials, batteries and motors?"

The audience in the audience had complex looks such as surprise, doubt, and excitement on their faces, and then looked at Liao Hongkai with burning eyes, expecting him to give a detailed explanation.

It is important to know that electric aircraft face a variety of constraints and technical challenges, such as battery energy density, charging time, electromagnetic interference, and power supply stability.

At present, Euroberry does have some electrically powered aircraft products, but most of them are still in the R&D and experimental stage, and have not yet entered the commercial application stage.

Like what:

AeroMobil of the Eastern European Knights is developing an electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft that can weigh less than 0.5 tons and fly a range of just a few tens of kilometers.

Zunum Aero plans to launch a small 19-seater electric aircraft capable of flying at speeds of up to 550 km/h, which is expected to go into mass production in four years.

It can be seen that no matter what, it is an incredible thing to let a large commercial aircraft weighing more than 300 tons use power resources to maintain endurance.

It is as strong as a beautiful country, but it is only in the field of small passenger aircraft, to carry out exploration and exploration.

Representatives of Boyin and Airbus, as well as aeronautical engineers from all over the world, frowned and began to think about the feasibility of the power scheme.

First of all, high-power batteries and electric motors are essential: batteries and motors are key components of electric drive, and sufficient power and energy density are required to achieve high-speed flight.

In the current international market, the common electric vehicle battery, motor performance, weight and volume can not meet the needs of this application scenario.

Secondly, lightweight design: lightweight alloys and attached materials are used to reduce the weight of the aircraft and improve flight efficiency and speed.

Thirdly, high-speed communication and controls: Electric drive systems require a large number of sensors and avionics systems to ensure safe and efficient operation.

At the same time, these systems need to be stable in the event of high-speed operation and intermittent power outages.

The satellite power grid built by Yunkun Space Company can perfectly solve this problem.

Finally, electromagnetic interference and lightning protection: The electric drive system is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference and lightning strikes, and needs to be fully considered and guaranteed in the design of the airframe and flight control system.

Such problems have been plaguing the engineers in the Oberry area, but now they have been solved by a private aircraft factory in Dahua District, which is really embarrassing.

As for doubts?

You don't have to!

Raytheon H-20 fighters, Tiger Bee T-1 reconnaissance aircraft and Qinglong D-100 supersonic fighters, after being installed at the beginning of the year, have shown endurance beyond the limits of conventional fighters.

Obviously, the new fighter produced by the North China Regional Military Research Institute is definitely equipped with a large electric motor and uses the wireless charging technology provided by the satellite power grid.

Yujia C500 continues to use this wave of operation, which is naturally reasonable!

Liao Hongkai paused, switching the picture on the big screen, and a medium-sized wide-body passenger aircraft with a great sense of science and technology came into view, with streamlined appearance design and excellent aerodynamic performance.

"The nose of the Yujia C500 uses 3D printing and laser welding, which can greatly improve production efficiency and quality, reduce waste and energy consumption, and is equipped with an electronic radar system, consisting of a main antenna and a backup antenna, and two radar controllers."

"Internally, we named it the Thunderbird, and the main antenna consists of a total of 128 unit antennas, and the backup antenna has 96 unit antennas, each of which can be seen as a sensor.

The unit antenna is connected to the radar controller by optical fiber, which can achieve high-precision detection of the surrounding environment. ”

The Thunderbird is a kind of sacred beast in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, with powerful thunder and lightning ability and keen observation, symbolizing foresight and vigilance.

Chen Heyu named it after him, which just highlights the detection and monitoring function of the radar system.

Liao Hongkai on the podium pressed the controller, and the picture changed again.

The perspective comes to the nose of the aircraft, and the shell is printed with the eye-catching "Shanhai Group" logo, showing a cone shape that breaks through the sky.

"In terms of materials, we have abandoned the traditional single aluminum alloy structure and selected a lightweight structural design combining carbon fiber, resin and titanium-aluminum alloy, which has the characteristics of high strength, high rigidity and low density, which can greatly reduce the weight of the aircraft itself and improve fuel efficiency and range."

"Compared with similar products, the weight of the Feather C500 is reduced by 20%, and the fuel efficiency is improved by more than 25%."

Liao Hongkai's eyes looked at the direction of the Boyin delegation, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a narrow smile.

Suddenly relieved, in the past, he would never dare to offend the industry giants in the audience, once this group of people used some means, Shang Feng's core accessories supply, he had to face the risk of getting stuck.

Today, he is not stunned at all!

The engine, electric motor, pod and cockpit are developed and produced by Shanhai Aircraft Factory!

The electromechanical system and avionics system are provided by the North China Aviation Military Research Institute and Future Technology!

The fuselage, wings, tail, landing gear and interior are produced by more than a dozen enterprises such as Shangfeng, Yuanhong Aviation Forging Company, Sichuan Shu Le Aida Electronics, and Jiangnan Tianniao Group.

Even the avionics display in the cockpit uses the aviation touch display of the Lucheng Jingdongfang factory, which can work normally in the temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C, and can immediately display fault information in case of abnormal conditions.

To sum up, the degree of localization of Yujia C500 is 100%, and there is no need for engines and key components in the Western world, and Shanhai Aircraft Factory can still mass-produce commercial airliners.

Full of confidence!

Of course, the premise is to have sufficient order volume, form a scale effect, and bring down the cost of a single machine, so as to be competitive in the international market in the future.

Otherwise, relying on the stacking of components alone, regardless of the cost, eighty percent of the large aircraft produced will die, and then become uncared for.

An Airbus A350 is priced at $320 million, and a Sound 747 is priced at $250 million to $300 million.

Judging from the performance data indicated, if the price of Yujia C500 is higher than 300 million US dollars, it will be completely reduced to a foil in the aviation market; If it is less than 200 million US dollars, there may be airlines willing to buy.

After all, Boyin and Airbus occupy 90% of the global market share, and have accumulated a good business reputation and established the stability and reliability of their products in a few decades.

As a newcomer in the industry, Shanhai Aircraft Factory must first obtain the recognition of the aviation service industry!

Just ask, who dares to fly a large civil aircraft that has just been put into operation?

In the last life, Shangfeng Group launched the C919, even in the case of more and more air crashes of Boyin and Airbus, airlines at home and abroad still will not list the C919 as the first choice for procurement.

In the same way, the same psychology is for passengers.

All because of the small flight mileage of domestic large aircraft, the data is not comprehensive enough, and the trust of users is not enough.

Chen Heyu sat in the first row, and when he heard this, he did not forget to look sideways at the not far away, and the faces of the representatives of the two major private aircraft manufacturers did not show panic.

Obviously, they are waiting for Liao Hongkai's offer, and a commercial airliner with no commercial value is no threat to them.

"It's destined to disappoint you."

Chen Heyu sneered secretly, with a calm and relaxed attitude.

Shanhai Group's cash flow is sufficient, as early as the first quarter of last year, a Shanhai Airlines was established simultaneously.

No one to buy?

Digest it yourself!

The annual demand for civil airliners in Dahua District is about 350-450, and Meng Lao greeted him in advance, and the CEOs, purchasing managers or business delegations of China Airlines, Eastern Airlines and Southern Airlines all sat quietly in the audience with procurement tasks.

"The wing of the Yujia C500 adopts a leading edge variable angle and main wing slats to ensure a balance between take-off performance and cruise efficiency, while the tail section is composed of two cocked tail fins to stabilize the aircraft's directional control.

It has a very spacious cabin and a height-adjustable air purification system that can provide passengers with a more comfortable travel experience.

The high-capacity cargo compartment system can also store various types of cargo, including bagged cargo, boxed cargo, fragile cargo, dangerous goods, etc......"

Liao Hongkai added with a smile.

He then went on to introduce the testing and validation process of the 'Yuga C500', in order to reassure the buyers.

"First, balance and control tests: stability and maneuverability at different speeds, altitudes and loads!"

"Second, aerodynamic performance testing: flight performance and fuel efficiency in a variety of airflow and risk conditions!"

"Third, maneuverability test: speed, climb and descent speed, turning radius, maximum climb angle, etc.!"

"Fourth, flight test: performance and safety under actual flight conditions, including takeoff, landing, stall, etc.!"

"Fifth, explosion and impact testing: to ensure the strength and durability of the body structure and components!"

"Sixth, functional testing and system testing: whether the engine, instrument panel, equipment, and power system are operating normally and coordinating with each other!"

“……”

Liao Hongkai said unhurriedly, although the words are reasonable, and there are videos and documents to support it, it is still difficult to eliminate the prejudice of buyers.

In the middle of the process, Sun Hongjun of the Civil Aviation Department took the stage and issued an airworthiness certificate to Shanhai Aircraft Factory, which was a key step in the successful commercial operation of the 'Yujia C500'.

Liao Hongkai held the audience alone, in just an hour, he never stopped, and his mouth was dry, so he described the R&D and manufacturing process of 'Yujia C500' vividly.

More than 4,000 engineers, 147 forging enterprises across the country, aircraft manufacturing bases, and raw material suppliers have worked hard for more than 500 days and nights to make the 'Yujia C500' successfully complete the final assembly and test flight.

"Mr. Liao, I would like to know the price of a Yujia C500 in the overseas market."

Rashid, the president of Dubai Airlines, gets straight to the point.

Relying on its abundant oil resources, Dubai has become a trading hub in the regions of Europe, Ashland and Yazhou, so the need for large civil aircraft procurement is particularly urgent.

Boyin and Airbus, Rashid have been in contact before, but the offer is too high, and he is still hesitating.

Shanhai Aircraft Factory is a spoiler, giving Rashid a new choice.

Liao Hongkai smiled, looked at the 'big dogs' in the audience, and said softly: "The price in Dahua District is 1.28 billion Chinese dollars, and the pricing standard in overseas markets is 240 million US dollars. ”

$240 million!

The audience suddenly erupted in exclamations, only to feel that the price was too high.

Shanhai Aircraft Factory is just a newcomer who has just entered the market, and he dares to sell the price of Boyin passenger aircraft?

Heslett, the president of Airbus, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.

What grade?

Dare and Airbus 350 for a price!

Evans, the president of Yazhou District of Boyin Airlines, pushed the gold wire glasses, and the worries in his heart disappeared instantly.

If the Shanhai Aircraft Factory only sells 200 million US dollars, or even 150 million US dollars, it will definitely be a threat to Boyin and Airbus.

But at the price of 240 million US dollars, who will choose a novice?

'Big Dog' Rashid shook his head slightly, and immediately kicked 'Yujia C500' out of the candidate list!

Chen Heyu caught a glimpse of everyone's expressions, as if he had expected it, his mentality was very stable, and he gave Liao Hongkai a look, signaling him to enter the next link.

Media Q&A!

In Chen Heyu's view, it is difficult for the 'Yujia C500' to gain the trust of airlines in a short period of time, so it is better to focus on the Dahua market, the Gray Island Continent and the Tianzhu area.

With Berut and Kaka Group leading the way, it is not a problem to sell a dozen planes.

Word of mouth, take your time!

If you want Chen Heyu to sell cheaply, it's impossible at all!

What's more, the Dahua market alone is enough to feed the Shanhai Aircraft Factory!

Next, the production and manufacturing of large passenger aircraft and small passenger aircraft will also go off the production line one after another.
