For Chen Huaiqing, there are only two companies that dominate small passenger aircraft, Pangjiadi and Samba Aviation Industries.

As for other companies, I haven't heard of them.

In fact, there are still many players in the small passenger aircraft market.

For example, Dornier from Hans Country, Schott from John Country, Saab from Sweden, etc. Anyway, there are quite a lot of them.

We can't build large passenger planes, and small passenger planes are not technically difficult, so everyone is quite focused on this.

Compared with the large passenger aircraft market, which is divided between Europe, the United States and the Soviet Union, the small aircraft market is a bit like a hundred flowers blooming.

Mota Aircraft only has to face these weaker opponents, and Chen Huaiqing feels that the advantage lies with me.

Of course, it does not mean that China's aviation industry has no problems at this time.

In the past, China's aviation industry relied entirely on military aircraft, but now the purchase of military aircraft has decreased, and all aircraft factories have encountered serious problems.

The decline in order volume means that the production lines are vacant, and there are a large number of workers with nothing to do.

If the order volume drops, the money earned every year will drop.

When filling one's stomach becomes a problem, naturally a lot of R&D funds for new aircraft will be cut.

Without R&D funds, it would be impossible for aircraft manufacturers to develop new aircraft models.

When everyone felt the cold winter, a Moto plane came out at this time.

Mota Aircraft is positioned directly, and I will only engage in research and development, not production.

As we all know, research and development is the most expensive. Investing hundreds of millions in it may not even make a splash.

After the establishment of Mota Aircraft, some operations began.

Since our R&D personnel have nothing to do now, how about they be transferred to the Murta aircraft first?

You guys can’t survive, but the Moto Aircraft can!

There is plenty of money!

Mota Aircraft is now the major shareholder of Meta Investment, which has made two capital injections, with a total capital injection of US$1.5 billion.

Of course, with such a large capital injection, Meta Investment’s shareholding in Murtec Aircraft has reached 70%.

No one has any opinion on this.

Although the shares appear to be in the hands of foreign investors, who doesn't know that meta investment belongs to Chen Huaiqing.

Moreover, the management of the aircraft is still managed by Chinese people.

The financial and personnel personnel assigned to Murtec Aircraft by Meta Investment were all transferred from Murtec Group.

But it's not from Xiangjiang.

In addition to developing small passenger aircraft, Mota Aircraft also requested that Motar Aircraft be as localized as possible.

Although Chen Huaiqing hopes that all products will be made locally, he also knows that this is somewhat unrealistic.

So international cooperation is inevitable.

Purchase some parts and so on from abroad.

Of course, Chen Huaiqing insisted on self-research on avionics and engines.

The avionics system needs to be continuously updated and iterated from generation to generation. Chen Huaiqing does not believe it. If we start researching from now on, we will not be able to come up with a suitable avionics system even if we wait for ten or twenty years.

Furthermore, the aircraft avionics systems of European and American aircraft have only just begun.

The entire integrated circuit is still in its infancy.

Mota Aircraft also has an advantage, that is, Mota Semiconductor, a subsidiary of the Mota Group, is the most advanced manufacturer of integrated circuit chips in China.

Whatever chips you want in the future, you can directly produce them specifically.

Chen Huaiqing is not in a hurry for the development of Mota Aircraft. He plans to wait another three or four years for some people from Er Mao who have experience in the aircraft industry to come over.

The largest aircraft in the world was produced by the aircraft manufacturer in Ermao.

Although later, the last plane was destroyed in the war, but that was decades later.

In addition to talents, Chen Huaiqing also needs various production equipment, technical information, etc.

Only then will the Motta plane truly take off.

Of course, in the past few years, the only thing Mota Aircraft has to do is cultivate young talents.

Let people in their 40s and 50s learn new technologies, to be honest, they are kind of powerless.

So young people in their twenties and thirties can learn new things quickly and with the highest cost performance.

"Dr. Chen, I have long admired your name!"

Chen Huaiqing looked at Gu Weitong in confusion, who is this person?

Gu Weitong smiled and said: "Let me introduce you. This is Xu Zhiming from the Air Force. He is in charge of equipment. He heard that you were coming today and happened to come over to have a chat with you."

Is it just in time?

Chen Huaiqing didn't want to pay too much attention to these details.

Chen Huaiqing: "Hello."

Air Force equipment?

Xu Zhiming: "Director Chen, let me get straight to the point. I heard that Mota Aircraft wants to change the Y10 into a cargo aircraft?"

It's normal for civil aviation passenger planes to be converted to cargo.

After all, the landing environment of current cargo aircraft is actually no different from that of civil aviation passenger aircraft.

Furthermore, in order to reduce operating costs, airlines are quite sensitive to the fuel consumption of passenger aircraft.

Just like when people buy a car, they pay special attention to the car's fuel consumption.

The requirements for cargo aircraft are much lower than those for passenger aircraft. Many cargo aircraft are directly used as retired passenger aircraft, which are more than 20 years old.

Chen Huaiqing is not surprised at all that others know about the transformation of the Y10 into a cargo aircraft.

"Well, that's the plan. However, this is a relatively long-term plan. The first thing to do now is to reduce its weight. In addition, the fuselage also needs to be redesigned. So, take out the cargo version

It will take quite a while for the plane to arrive."

Due to material reasons, the weight of the Y10 is much higher than that of a certain Boeing-imitation aircraft.

We are trying to solve this problem bit by bit.

If you want to save fuel, you must reduce the weight of the aircraft.

Neon Country's cars know this very well. Fuel-saving means light weight. Where other car companies use steel, they use plastic.

The dead weight is reduced immediately. When the dead weight is reduced, the fuel consumption is naturally reduced.

Planes definitely cannot use plastic, so they can only use new materials.

It will take a lot of time for the new Y10 to fly to heaven again, so Chen Huaiqing is not in a hurry.

According to Chen Huaiqing's plan, there will be a wave of opportunities to strengthen the research and development capabilities of Murata aircraft. At that time, Murata aircraft will truly be on the right track.

Xu Zhiming nodded gently. He was very familiar with the situation of the Mota aircraft.

Now that the army's funds are limited, many less urgent research projects have been stopped.

"Our demand for large transport aircraft is still quite large. If the Y10 can meet the requirements, we are quite interested."

Now in terms of research and development capabilities, Mota Aircraft R&D Co., Ltd. is considered the strongest in the country.

A large number of research and development talents from the domestic aviation industry have been extensively recruited.

In addition, we are recruiting people at major aviation universities, and the treatment offered is something that other aircraft factories simply cannot provide.

Not to mention the salary, there are various promotions, and single dormitories are provided when you join the company. The accommodation environment is quite good.

When recruiting people, the personnel directly shows the brochures to the students.

He looked like he was thirsty for talents.
