"The MT150 passenger aircraft is still in the test flight stage, but we have already received an intended order for 100 aircraft."

Of course, intended orders for the MT150 passenger aircraft are mainly from domestic airlines.

At present, domestic airlines are mainly state-owned airlines. As for private airlines, only Sichuan Airlines can barely be counted.

Sichuan Airlines is an airline with Mota Holdings as its largest shareholder, and it is also the first low-cost airline in the country.

With Rongcheng Airport and Yuzhou Airport as the main bases.

The aircraft of Sichuan Airlines are mainly MT60 and MT90.

Sichuan Airlines has established several maintenance centers across the country to specifically maintain aircraft.

The most important aspect of aircraft safety is maintenance.

Why do we often see air crashes in Africa?

A very important reason is that maintenance is not done properly.

To be honest, African airlines are not very strong in terms of strength.

In addition, those maintenance personnel with strong technical skills are definitely not willing to stay with local African airlines. Those who can change jobs have done so.

If you can't change jobs, then you will naturally stay.

Most people have average skills.

Do something simple and that's okay.

As for the complicated ones...

For example, it would be impossible to proactively discover hidden damage to an aircraft.

Anyway, you only know there is a problem after something happens.

Chen Huaiqing: "The test flight of MT150 is going very smoothly now, and the next step is the airworthiness certification test flight. If everything goes well, commercial flight will be next year."

According to domestic classification, the MT150 can definitely be regarded as a large aircraft.

This is determined according to the development level of the domestic aviation industry. Overseas, the standards for large aircraft are even higher, and aircraft with a capacity of more than 200 passengers must be required.

"By saying this, I am telling everyone that our turbofan 8-D engine will usher in a wave of large and stable demand."

After so many years of continuous development, the turbofan 8-D engine has become a mature aerospace engine.

"It has taken 26 years from Turbofan 8 to Turbofan 8-D. After 26 years of continuous persistence, it can be said that now is the time to finally reap the rewards."

The price of the turbofan 8-D engine is naturally not cheap. The ex-factory price of Chengdu Aviation Engine is 36 million.

The price of an MT150 is 580 million.

The price is really expensive.

In fact, the price can be lower, but it is not necessary.

Don't mess up the market.

Chinese companies always like to set prices as low as cabbage prices, so they can capture the market in a short period of time.

But after the price has been reduced to a cabbage price, it becomes extremely difficult to raise the price again.

But if you keep the cabbage price, even if you occupy the market, you will only make hard-earned money in the end.

So, why bother!

It would be better to say that you are trying to occupy the market by boiling a frog in warm water. The price is slightly lower than your opponent's, by 10% to 20%, which directly prevents your opponent's products from being sold.

To force the other party to make losses in this business and then voluntarily give up this business.

In this case, you can take over the market naturally.

The market has been taken over, prices have not dropped too much, and high profits are still guaranteed.

Of course, there is a premise for this, and that is technology!

In terms of technology, not to mention complete transcendence, at least it is impossible to compare the differences.

If the technology is inferior to a certain extent, there is no way to make up for it simply by relying on price.

A pair of shoes worth 20 yuan will break after three months of use, while a pair of shoes worth 50 yuan will not wear out after one year of use. So what kind of choice will be made?

There will be candidates for both, that's for sure, it just depends on which one has more people.

"Just one engine, the turbofan 8-D engine, will be enough for the entire Chengdu Airlines to have food and drink for several years."

If it doesn’t open for three years, it will last for three years if it opens!

Chen Huaiqing: "In the future, we must unswervingly implement the strategies we have set before and continue to develop engines that are more powerful, more fuel-efficient, and more reliable."

"Don't worry about temporary losses. What we are pursuing is ultimate technological progress."

As long as you master advanced technology, are you still worried about not being able to make money?

Just kidding!

After seeing the achievements of Chengdu Aviation Development, Chen Huaiqing felt that he had a good idea.

Today's China is naturally unable to keep up with Europe and the United States in terms of aircraft engine technology.

Even the former alliance, which disbanded six years ago, still can't keep up.

However, compared to ten years ago, China has made considerable progress in the field of aviation engines.

It seems to have some bright spots.

At least for medium-range aircraft engines, there are already engines available.

As for the Lishen engine, Chen Huaiqing took the initiative to lower the requirements. It does not necessarily mean that it must have a thrust of more than 30 tons. If it can reach a thrust of 20 tons, it is enough.

You have to eat the meal one bite at a time, and walk the road step by step.

There is no need to jump and take big steps, as it will be too easy to fall down.

Chengdu Aeroengine is a pioneer in the field of domestic aviation engines. It has the best aviation engine R&D team, the best treatment, the best technology, the best production equipment, etc.

Anyway, everything is the best in the country.

Of course, the R&D team of Chengdu Aviation Development includes a large number of aviation development experts invited by the former alliance.

Chengdu Aviation Development cannot take the adventurist route, but must take small and fast steps, one step at a time.

The technical difficulty of developing an engine with a thrust of 30 tons is a bit too great.

The greater the difficulty, the higher the probability of failure.

On the contrary, now Chengdu Aviation Engineering has a foundation for the Firehawk engine, and then develops a 20-ton thrust engine. Although the technical difficulty is still high, it is not so difficult that it cannot be overcome.

Technology is something that still needs to be continuously accumulated.

It is always impossible to say that we can build bicycles today and cars directly tomorrow!

This difficulty is too great, like a natural chasm.

But what if we build bicycles today and motorcycles tomorrow?

The technical difficulty of motorcycles is definitely less than that of cars.

After knowing how to build motorcycles, would it be more logical to think about building cars?

Many automobile manufacturers in Neon Country have followed this development path.

It's a good explanation of how correct it is to take one step at a time.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when we departed from Chengdu Airline.

Sitting in the car, Chen Huaiqing looked at the messages in the QQ group.

QQ group is now very popular in the country!

All previous online chat rooms were directly replaced, and most of the multi-person chats were moved to QQ groups.

As Huaguo Network began to support 2G network, Chenxing Mobile immediately launched corresponding 2G network mobile phones.

Mobile QQ officially started to go online.

The mobile Internet has just begun to take shape.

Of course, the current mobile Internet cannot do other things. What everyone mainly does is chat on QQ.
