Perhaps because the pressure on the American side was really great, the European delegation also changed its usual style of prevarication and completed the communication with the headquarters in only three days.

Fortunately, Chang Haonan and others are more efficient, and have basically completed the design of two key projects.

In the next manufacturing part, Lin Shikuan is naturally responsible for assisting in it.

In addition, in the previous life, it was the 603 Institute and the 172 Factory that were the first to eat the crab of the all-digital design on the J-7A project, which shows that they already have some technical reserves in this regard, let alone worry.

The second round of negotiations then proceeded.

When the delegations of both sides entered, Colombo, who had some friendship with the Chinese side, came over:

"Often, you look very tired, like you just talked to two ...... last night Or more ladies have dated the same. ”

It can only be said that it is Italian.

Chang Haonan looked in the mirror to see his state before he set off, and naturally knew that the two huge dark circles could not be covered no matter what, but it was impossible to admit that we had temporarily designed a set of equipment to be tested and a test machine in the past three days, so he had to roll his eyes at the other party helplessly and did not answer.

However, judging from Colombo's expression, he may have understood Chang Haonan's speechlessness as a default......

In short, after everyone was seated, with a brief and polite greeting, the tense and exciting negotiations began again.

This time, Chang Haonan sat directly next to Huai Guomo.

Naturally, there are people from other professions to do the work of talking guns, but after all, the idea of exchanging technology for airworthiness was put forward by him, and it can hold the scene at some critical times.

Although he was indeed very sleepy, he still cheered up and listened to the comings and goings of the representatives of both sides.

The European side showed interest in preconceived strategies, especially ATR and JAA, and even agreed in principle to the joint construction of an ice wind tunnel, only proposing that a certain number of European scientists must be guaranteed to work there without visas, and that the equipment for the wind tunnel must be purchased from Europe.

They have been being disturbed by Bombardier and the FAA in the past few days, but others are holding the banner of aviation safety and dare not openly contradict it, and the scene was very passive for a while.

Although Airbus is directly under less pressure, if the airworthiness regulations on supercooling and large water droplets are really passed, then they will definitely not be comfortable.

Several later sub-models of A330 and A340 have not yet completed their airworthiness certification.

Moreover, the price offered by the United States to delay the entry into force of the regulations is to unconditionally approve the merger of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas.

This is something that has a direct impact on Airbus.

So at least they are not against it.

Well, Airbus has it, and besides, they don't have the big head.

However, when Huai Guomo proposed to reciprocal mutual recognition of civil aviation aircraft products with a maximum take-off weight of 50 tons and below, and a load of 100 seats and below, the other party still hesitated.

After a brief discussion that didn't come to a conclusion, Anne Valette said they needed a 30-minute recess.

This is not unexpected.

After all, airworthiness certification is indeed a big deal.

Although the JAA does not currently have mandatory force on member states, i.e., after the JAA decides to mutual recognition, theoretically the validation standards in each member state can still refuse to be aligned with the CAAC.

But apparently not too many countries will sing this kind of contradiction.

Moreover, they have already prepared a more comprehensive and complete institution at the EU level, EASA, and by that time, it will be coercive......

So as long as the other party doesn't leave no stone unturned, it's a good thing.

"Comrade Xiao Chang, what do you think we need to pay to get them to agree to reciprocal recognition?"

Huai Guomo asked Chang Haonan, who was rubbing his eyes next to him, and his tone couldn't help but be a little worried.

After all, Ding Gaoheng has already given extremely high authority, and he also said that he should not be afraid of taking responsibility, if the negotiation fails, he really has no shame to face his old superiors.

The latter cheered up and stretched out his hand to signal his reassurance:

"It shouldn't be too much, and I'll find a reason to let them see with their own eyes our strength in the field of aircraft icing and anti-icing, and the difficulty of negotiation will definitely be reduced a lot."

Hearing this, Huai Guomo didn't respond immediately, but just stared at Chang Haonan for a while, and then said with emotion:

"I don't mean to distrust you, but you were able to come up with improvements to two planes in three days...... It's incredible. ”

"It's not easy these days."

Tired Chang Haonan showed a satisfied smile, with the continuous growth of management experience and life insight, he has learned how not to be ashamed to express his happiness and pride, and not to appear proud:

"However, the foundation has also been laid in the past, and the fuselage structure of the fuel bomber 6 does not need to be changed at all, and the MA60 can also use the previous wing to make some minor repairs...... It's done. ”

Huai Guomo also saw Chang Haonan's exhaustion:

"Thank you for your hard work, why don't you ask the staff to find you a spare room to rest, and I'll have someone call you before the adjournment is over."

The latter is indeed a little untenable.

"That's fine."

……

Half an hour later, negotiations resumed.

The first to speak was Augusta Schneider, the representative of Airbus, who had not expressed his stance before:

"Regarding the mutual recognition of airworthiness certification, I think you must admit that this is a thing that does not benefit us much."

It's not a nice thing to say, but it's true.

After a pause, he continued:

"But the conditions you offered are only to give ATR a higher level of anti-icing design, and to license a so-called icing simulation software and the corresponding basic database, and I can hardly think that this is a reciprocal deal."

Schneider had another half of what he didn't say:

"Especially for us at Airbus."

Airworthiness certification restricts operation rather than flight, in other words, if an aircraft does not obtain an airworthiness certificate from the JAA, it simply cannot be registered in member states, and does not affect the flight, take-off and landing of this type of aircraft operated by other countries within the jurisdiction of the JAA.

Even if it is only agreed to the mutual recognition of airworthiness of regional airliners, it is equivalent to recognizing the level of China's aviation industry to a certain extent, so that more countries dare to buy aircraft produced in China with confidence.

Therefore, although Airbus does not have products of 50 tons/100 seats and below, Schneider does not think that the Huaxia people can come up with a plane that threatens the A320 or A330 in a short time, but anyone can see that this is the beginning.

It's better not to do such a thing as creating an opponent for yourself unless you have enough interests.

Although this Schneider did not seem easy to deal with, he did not directly refuse.

"I think, Mr. Schneider."

Finally it was Chang Haonan's turn to speak:

"You may have misunderstood the value of that software, or that set of databases."

Schneider waved his hand a little impatiently:

"Mr. Chang, we have also developed the same ice type prediction software, and we still have some understanding of this aspect, although it has a certain reference significance, but it is not of much value to engineering applications."

"In this way, we have an old saying in China, which says that hearing is false, and seeing is believing."

Seeing that the fire was almost over, Chang Haonan directly put forward the long-planned idea:

"We are preparing to conduct an icing flight test under extremely harsh SLD conditions in the past few days, why don't you select a few representatives and see with your own eyes the technical strength of our Huaxia in this field?"

This slightly abrupt proposal didn't even make the other party react for a while.

"Flight tests?"

JAA's Valette couldn't believe her ears.

The main thing is that this has never been seen in the course of negotiations.

"That's right, for the flight test, you can choose two or three people to go up with one of our MA60s to undergo the SLD climate test with an average diameter of 400 microns and a maximum diameter of 500 microns."

After a pause, he added:

"Of course, we are 100% confident that the testers are safe, but because the situation may be ...... Spectacular, I advise participants to be mentally prepared. ”

The opposing delegation did not completely kill this matter in the half-hour discussion just now, but was ready to see how much leverage Huaxia could pay, so after a brief exchange, they also agreed that they could go and see it first.

At least see how many catties and taels the Chinese people have.

"We agree in principle to participate in your natural icing test."

Valette said crisply:

"As for the specific candidates to be appointed......

For a while, all eyes on the entire negotiation scene were on the same person-

Rosie Colombo.

“whaaaaat？”

Colombo looked around in bewilderment:

"Why me again?"
