"General Lu is indeed wise. I have to admit that with the declining market, Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Company is having a hard time." Peng Zhengge admitted it himself and said, "That's why we are actively seeking change."
With the declining market, Boeing, Airbus, and other giant companies that dominated the commercial aircraft market introduced more preferential sales policies. In the field of technical competition, Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Company, which had a weaker international reputation, found it even harder to compete with them.
"Then, General Lu, how do you think we can change this situation if we cooperate with Hongxin Group?" He continued to ask.
Lu Zixin had thought about this before coming, so he answered clearly, "It's very simple. There are three points. First of all, Hongxin Group has a wide range of channels and resources. For manufacturing commercial aircraft, our group can provide some materials, metals, and even mechanical power equipment. "
"Secondly, the Future City Airport is a huge project with endless potential. Our goal is to create a technological center city in the world. This will form a huge air route network from the Future City to all parts of the world. As long as we provide you with some convenience, you can easily find buyers among the airlines of various countries. "
"The last point, which is also the most important point, is the upgrade of the technology level. If you want to be recognized by the aviation market, the importance of technology is undeniable. Cost, aviation safety, speed, load, and so on are not only considered by the airlines, but also by the passengers. "
"If we cooperate with Hongxin, we can provide technical support to improve the overall performance of your commercial aircraft. With faster speed, higher load, and safety, with these competitive advantages, why are you afraid of not being able to sell? "
"Hongxin Group has always adhered to the philosophy that technology can change people's lifestyles! When the performance of commercial aircraft is improved, more passengers will be willing to fly. For example, if we can provide commercial aircraft with more seats and higher load, the ticket price will naturally be lowered, and more passengers will have one more choice when traveling. The same principle applies to logistics airplanes. When technology, cost, and load change, the ratio of airplanes in logistics will also change. "
… …
Both parties discussed for three days. Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Company was willing to accept Hongxin Group's investment and technical support, and Hongxin Group would obtain part of Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Company's shares and help with its development and promotion.
After the contract was officially signed, the two parties began the handover. The project progress and aircraft manufacturing technology from the Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Company were connected to Hongxin's internal quantum information network and handed over to the professionals and Hong Xiaoxiao for analysis.
"Commercial aircraft mainly refers to large passenger planes. For a long time, the manufacturing of large passenger aircraft has been monopolized by foreign technology. Our airlines have to spend about 20 million more than other countries to buy a large passenger aircraft. "
"In 1970, China's first project to build a large passenger jet, the 'Y-10', was interrupted due to various reasons. Some of the main research and development team of Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Company were the original researchers. "
"After the establishment of the Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Company, these researchers and new researchers worked together to redevelop large passenger aircraft."
"The technical problems they are facing now are mainly three points: materials, airborne equipment, and engines."
…
Little Red sifted through the massive amount of information and left the most important part for Lu Zixin. Lu Zixin learned that China's commercial aircraft company had only launched a domestically developed passenger jet, the C919. Compared to the US and UK aviation giants, the number of orders they received is still very little.
In this model of passenger jet, most of the parts, materials, and recording equipment are still imported from overseas. The proportion of domestically produced parts is less than 50%, and this is the next stage of China's commercial aircraft company's research target.
"Little Red, compared to a car, how difficult is it to build this aircraft?" Lu Zixin asked.
Hong Xiaoxiao projected a holographic image of the large technology and marked out the points. She explained: "There are 10 parts of the large aircraft structure, and each part involves more than 10 systems and hundreds of thousands of parts."
"The landing gear alone, which takes up less than 500% of the aircraft's volume, integrates 13 systems including hydraulics, control, electrical, and shock absorbers. There are more than 180 major components. This project alone requires a dedicated research, development, and installation team to be responsible for it. The overall difficulty of building a large aircraft is more than 10 times that of a car! "
"Another important issue is that if a commercial passenger jet is going to fly commercially, it must be certified by the International Civil Aviation Authority. This includes every part! Any screws that are not certified airworthiness can not be used! This is also the reason why China's commercial aircraft company must rely on imported parts to complete the aircraft. "
"For our current R&D team and technology level in Hongxin, the onboard equipment is the easiest to solve. The various systems in the aircraft are also what we are best at. The hard part is the materials and engine. "
Lu Zixin nodded. In the aerospace industry, the requirements for materials are very strict! It can be said that the materials will determine the performance of the aircraft and spacecraft. The existing materials that should be developed are all under development, and the results will be seen. The materials that are monopolized by technology can only be imported.
As for aircraft engines, this is a field that the US and UK have monopolized for decades! Until now, China's commercial aircraft company's engines are all imported, and there are no major breakthroughs in their research.
Lu Zixin is deep in thought. The reason why he chose to work with China's commercial aircraft company is to develop aviation technology, and also to promote the City of Future to become the world's technology and economic center.
If they can introduce cheaper, safer, and more convenient aviation services, it will be easier for them to travel from the City of Future to other parts of the world.
If you want to be rich, you must first build roads. This is the economic development model in the past, and for the City of Future to develop, it must develop aviation!
The manufacturing of large aircraft is a mess of technical problems, and there are hundreds of thousands of them!
Lu Zixin asked Hong Xiaoxiao to help him sort out the problems.
"The onboard equipment and systems can be settled by Hongxin's AI system design and machinery company. The main problems in front of us are the materials and engines. The engines also require new aviation materials, and that's why we listed the materials as the top priority. According to the difficulty and importance, the first problem I listed is the new carbon fiber materials for aviation. "Hong Xiaoxiao said.
