Chapter 1,122 Cooperation to Build a Large Passenger Aircraft(2/2)
Antonov Design Bureau is the king in the field of large aircraft. If they participate, everything will be different!
"Two hundred tons is directly equivalent to the Boeing 7E7 level."
In the late 1990s, the Boeing 767 was at a disadvantage in the competition with the Airbus A330. Boeing decided to develop a new model. They introduced a new "Sonic Cruiser" concept to make the aircraft faster, thereby compressing flight time and obtaining
However, it was not easy to achieve Mach 0.98 and it would cost more fuel. Therefore, Boeing decided to abandon this project and work on 7E7. This was the first time that letters were used to replace the middle data.
This letter has many explanations, such as Efficiency, Economics, Environmentally Friendly, etc. Therefore, this aircraft is also called the Dreamliner. After the development is completed, it will be called 787.
Now, if we can develop a passenger aircraft of this level, we will suddenly become a strong player in this field!
"As for the engine, we plan to improve the D-18T engine and use a larger outer duct to achieve sufficient economy. The core engine is already mature, so it can be developed in a shorter time and synchronized with the aircraft.
In terms of avionics, we use our own electronic equipment, so the cost will be lower." Qin Tao said: "We plan to build a brand new aircraft factory to manufacture this large passenger aircraft. If the project can be started, it is estimated that it will take five to ten years.
Research and development can be completed within a year.”
"Mr. Qin, you are indeed doing great things." Mr. Zhang sighed with emotion: "However, Mr. Qin, this kind of passenger aircraft is destined to fly overseas routes. Are you sure you can obtain the airworthiness certificate?"
"If we can't get airworthiness certificates from Europe and the United States, we will fly other routes." Qin Tao said: "So many countries in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East need direct routes. Our planes can fly there without stopping. There are also
Lao Maozi can fly over there."
How to solve the problem of airworthiness certificate? History has proven that it is useless to give profits to the West. On the contrary, there are still a group of people in the West who naively think that they can use this method to choke the East. If you don’t give in, we will cut it off.
Supply the engine and cut off the avionics supply, making your plane unable to fly!
Therefore, if Qin Tao wants to do something, he will not give up the profits. This will only make them think that they have found the weakness of Mingzhou Group! If they want to do something, they have to solve the entire supply chain themselves.
It is important for Tianjiao Aviation to develop a new generation of fuel-efficient engines, but research and development takes time. Therefore, it is acceptable to improve the outer duct on the basis of the D-18T. If a new engine is available in the future, it will be replaced. If not, it will be used first.
.
As for the avionics issue, of course the most advanced technology is in the East. How is it possible to purchase backward electronic equipment from the West?
Let’s leave aside the issue of airworthiness certificates for now. You can’t fly to the United States and Europe, but you can still fly to other countries. I have to sell my face, and the countries in Africa and the Middle East also have to sell their face. Once these routes are opened, it will
Hundreds of large passenger planes are needed.
When our own large passenger aircraft develop, we can use various reasons to reject Boeing and Airbus. If they want to fly to our airport, we will have to issue airworthiness certificates to our aircraft. This will solve the problem.
"Of course, our cooperation will not be smooth sailing. We still have to pay attention to the domestic situation. Since our country has a demonstration project for large aircraft, we can also add the Mingzhou Group project to the demonstration together to find the best solution.
