Chapter 213: Huaxia Aircraft, To the World!
Lorenzo was visibly blindfolded, and was stunned for a long time before he asked again:
"In that case...... How many sorties do you have to fly to complete a research project? ”
You must know that the cost of a test flight is much higher than that of a blowing tunnel, not to mention that icing is not a 100% opportunity to take off every take-off, and a large number of sorties will be wasted.
He didn't think he meant to look down on people, but based on what he had seen and heard in the past few days, Huaxia should not have been rich enough to this extent.
"It does take a lot, so I just said that it can only be studied to 400 microns to 1 millimeter, and there are still many details that need to be further refined and excavated."
Chang Haonan took a sip of grape juice without changing his color:
"If this negotiation can go smoothly, we can consider jointly building an ice test center like NASA, of course, after all, it is SLD-oriented research, and the equipment will definitely be more advanced, and we will share the results of the research at that time."
"Building together?"
Lorenzo, on the other side, felt that there might be a hole in this statement.
"That's right, you pay for it, and we pay for it."
Chang Haonan was not prepared to hide his purpose, in fact, if it weren't for Ms. Valette's quick proposal to suspend the negotiations, he would have planned to bring up this matter in one go-
Give the white prostitute in Fucheng an ice test wind tunnel.
After all, Valette has already made a mistake just now, and JAA has almost no technical reserves in the field of icing and anti-icing research under SLD conditions.
Of course, she can't be blamed for this, there was no part of Chang Haonan that Chang Haonan temporarily played in the original negotiation plan, which was equivalent to being beaten up as a sneak attack.
But in any case, since the core technology needs to be provided by our Huaxia side, it is also reasonable for you wealthy Europeans to contribute some money to support some research hardware, right?
"This ......"
In fact, according to Lorenzo's idea, if the Chinese people can really have the level of research they claim to have in the research on the mechanism of icing, this matter will be agreed.
But after all, he couldn't make a decision, so he had to end the topic a little bluntly:
"This issue will have to wait for the two sides to decide during the negotiation process."
"Anyway, it's a pleasure to meet you today, Professor Chang."
After finishing speaking, he raised his wine glass and gently touched the glass with Chang Haonan.
"You're in such a hurry, I'm not a professor yet, I'm just a ...... Well, I'm studying for a Ph.D., but I'll borrow your kind words. ”
The latter replied with a chuckle.
I saw that the translator next to him relayed this sentence to Lorenzo, and then the old professor, who was drinking, almost choked on this sentence.
……
After the dinner, the members of the Chinese delegation quickly returned to the hotel they had arranged and held a meeting overnight.
"Comrade Xiao Chang, everyone here hasn't read the note you just wrote to me, why don't you talk about your thoughts directly?"
After a simple opening, Huai Guomo, as the host, directly threw the topic to Chang Haonan
"Comrades."
Chang Haonan dragged the desktop microphone in front of him from the side:
"In the past few years, although there are differences between the aviation industry in Europe and the United States, the common interests still outweigh the contradictions, and it is very difficult for a late-developing country like us to break the situation, so this negotiation is a golden opportunity for us."
"Comrade Xiao Chang, I remember that you were opposed to in-depth technical cooperation with the European side, not to mention that in terms of icing and anti-icing, we still have a technological advantage."
There weren't so many rules for this kind of unrecorded internal meeting, so it was quick for someone in the room to ask directly:
"So what can we gain in this collaboration? Or rather, what do you think we should ask for? ”
"Of course, technical cooperation is not the core issue, if it can be done, let the JAA pay for the construction of a joint ice wind tunnel, of course, the location has to be selected in China, it can also be regarded as contributing to our aviation infrastructure, if not, then we have no problem on our own, but for a long time in the future, Europeans may need to ask us to help with the design."
Chang Haonan waved his hand and replied.
When he said the last sentence, that is, the Europeans were going to ask Huaxia to help design the plane, the whole room smiled knowingly.
Either way, it sounds so wonderful.
But this is not over, Chang Haonan paused for a few seconds, and then said the next sentence:
"More importantly, I hope that through this negotiation, we can achieve reciprocal recognition of civil aviation products between our CAAC and the European JAA, and if this can be achieved, I can even consider making some concessions in specific technologies."
There was silence in the conference room, which had been a little noisy just now.
Several people who had just picked up their water cups and were about to drink water subconsciously stopped their movements.
At this time, everyone finally knew why Huai Guomo agreed with Chang Haonan to say something that was a bit radical at the negotiation site and did not conform to the usual tone of negotiations on the Huaxia side.
This temptation is indeed too great.
With the investment and participation of Agusta, the difficulty of the MA60 itself to obtain the airworthiness certification of the European side is basically a certainty.
But what Chang Haonan said about this matter is not a matter of two models at all.
If the relevant agreement is really signed, then all the aircraft manufactured by Huaxia in the future, as long as they pass their own airworthiness certification, it is equivalent to passing the JAA certification.
It is extremely important for the development of the entire civil aviation industry.
Although EASA has not yet been formally established, the influence and recognition of its predecessor JAA are also increasing, and it has faintly compared with the trend of the FAA in the United States.
So this not only means that Huaxia's passenger aircraft will be able to enter the European market in the future.
There is also the Middle East and Southeast Asia, which are equally significant.
Especially the former.
The airlines of the Middle East tycoons, such as Qatar Airways and Emirates, are still in the development stage and are not very valued by major aviation manufacturers.
But these airlines are really a model of 30 years of Hedong and 30 years of Hexi, and don't bully young people into poverty.
Chang Haonan, who has returned from more than 20 years, knows very well how exaggerated the scale they will develop in the future.
Among other things, Emirates has the world's largest fleet of Airbus A380s, with 123 aircraft!
This is the result of the cancellation of a large number of orders, and the original plan was to buy 163 aircraft.
Needless to say, the rest of the small planes, and the big dogs don't even blink their eyes when they buy them.
It's a market that makes people drool when they look at it.
