Chapter 1364: Taking Orders 9
Although many projects and branches are more profitable than engaging in aircraft manufacturing. But Bao Zixuan's favorite industry is really aircraft manufacturing. As an aerospace engineer, I have always had a dream of flying. The aircraft you design and manufacture yourself can occupy the skies around the world. Although the current aircraft was not designed by him personally, the core technology Heiyun Group is gradually mastering.
Bao Zixuan has absolute confidence in who the future sky belongs to.
The Germans are also tyrannical, and I didn't expect them to be so generous. As the third largest economy in the world, it is also one of the fastest growing countries. The Germans are not as high-profile as the Japanese. But no one will underestimate them. After all, the achievements they have made in the fields of industrial strength, mechanical processing capabilities, and optical instruments are beyond the reach of other countries.
Bao Zixuan: "I can really feel the sincerity and strength of Lufthansa. If there is anything you need our cooperation with, please tell me directly."
This is a forced meal from Boeing and Airbus. If you have a bad appetite, it is likely to cause indigestion, which will be counterproductive. If you think about it carefully, Boeing is the true son of the United States; compared with it, McDonnell Douglas is much worse. Airbus even has access to resources across Europe. Even if they grab some orders, the two companies will have no major problems. At most, even if the life is not as smooth as before, it will not go bankrupt.
Now it is necessary to let several companies compete with each other, at least to ensure that everyone has food to eat; otherwise, it is also very dangerous for one company to dominate.
Strictly speaking, the United Aircraft Manufacturing Factory does not belong to any party. Although based in the UK, no British company has a stake. It is said to be an American company, but two companies from Japan and Hong Kong play a very important role, even indispensable.
In short, a perfect balance can now be achieved, which can at least act as a mutual restraint.
Manstein-Spohr: "Mr. Bao's work attitude and professionalism. I'm really not worried at all. I believe our cooperation has only just begun."
Lufthansa also has several airports that require this LED screen. However, these are handled by professionals. After all, I don’t know the specific data yet.
After getting a big order from Lufthansa, H3M-111 aircraft. The air show is about to start again; this is not only the participation of the crew, but also many volunteers. Of course, before getting on the plane, I purchased a huge amount of insurance. After all, accident or tomorrow, no one knows which one will come first.
For safety reasons, many Heiyun security personnel have been deployed. You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must not have the intention to guard against others. If someone from a competitor gets on the plane and deliberately causes harm, the consequences will be unimaginable. Although he has great confidence in his own aircraft, otherwise it would be impossible to arrange to take people to the sky for a test flight.
And many of them are journalists and professionals. But if you want to ensure absolute safety, especially to prevent vandalism, you must make good preparations. Only by ensuring that nothing goes wrong can everyone feel at ease.
Although competitors such as Boeing and Airbus had engineers and managers involved in the test flight, the time was short. The most important thing is that this is the place with the strictest security in Paris, so you really can’t bring anything into the sky. Moreover, it is too risky to do so, and their information has been reported. If you really use your wrong thoughts, your company will definitely be harmed.
Everyone also knows that if the strength of the four companies is really used in some evil ways. Then they may not be able to withstand the anger of others' revenge.
McDonnell Douglas, Heiyun, Mitsubishi, and Motorola all have military production departments. If you really want to make trouble with Tai Sui, you should also check whether the teeth are good enough.
This time, Mr. Bao did not test the flight in person, and there were so many people on board. Forget about his two-knife skills! Some things just need to be experienced once, there is no need to take them too seriously; on the contrary, it will be counterproductive and make you feel guilty.
It can be said that engineers and technicians from major airlines in the world, as well as pilots, have signed up to experience the test flight process. Unlike giant companies like Japan Airlines and Lufthansa, many airlines are not that strong in scale and strength. After all, the number of large aircraft they can purchase is limited. Even just to support the appearance, buy one or two.
Then you have to find a model that suits you best, otherwise if you make a mistake in placing an order, you may not be able to recover for many years. And even the Germans have strong intentions and have not finally confirmed the order. They also need to experience and feel it, and only after they are completely reassured will they implement it.
However, as Manstein-Spohr, he really cannot go back on his promise in this regard. United Aircraft Manufacturing Company is not just a cat or a dog. Even as a world aviation giant, he does not dare to mess with others easily.
And the Germans attach great importance to credibility, if it is because of this matter. If people misunderstand that the Spohr family has gone back on their word, Lufthansa has a credibility problem; if it even escalates to a credibility crisis for the entire German nation, then he is a sinner through the ages.
The Japanese are doing this because of the Mitsubishi factor. After all, Japanese companies have done a good job in supporting domestic companies. And another thing is that the family's economy is indeed very good. To put it bluntly, they are not short of money. In order to increase its influence, it is understandable to purchase the largest passenger aircraft in the world. It even has a strong promotional significance, after all, they are the first country in the world to operate an 800-seat passenger plane. Although it cannot be regarded as a highlight in the history of aviation, it can at least play a positive role in improving the country's influence.
Boeing and Airbus staff learned that United Aircraft Manufacturing Company invited people to participate in test flights to experience the performance of the aircraft. Everyone signed up enthusiastically. In fact, it was not just the two of them, but many aircraft manufacturing companies in the world sent people to participate.
It is not possible to produce such a large aircraft yet, but no one wants to stand still and always follow other companies.
Li Ling is a Chinese technical engineer at Boeing Company and is also responsible for Boeing's strategic intelligence collection work. His great-grandfather has been living in the United States since his generation. It can be said that he is the fourth generation here. It is now completely Americanized and has a multi-national origin.
Boeing has a long tradition of hiring Chinese engineers. So it's not surprising, it's really good in this regard.
After entering the interior of the H3M-111 aircraft, I felt very comfortable. Moreover, when he got on the plane, he also deliberately tried out the first-class seats; to get acquainted with them in advance, he naturally settled into the window seat not far from the engine.
Maybe aerospace engineers all have one characteristic, and that is to see how the engine performs. Looking at the big guy next to him, no one would have thought that the thrust could reach 400 kilonewtons. At present, except for fighter jets, it seems like passenger aircraft; no company is willing to use such a large thrust engine.
Even though the thrust is great, what’s even more annoying is that it’s so fuel-efficient. If it can really reach the official data, then the Boeing 747 will have no advantage at all.
Currently, there are four largest and most influential companies in the world that produce aircraft engines. Among them, General Dynamics and Pratt & Whitney are from the United States, Rolls-Royce is owned by the British; the remaining Heiyun Aviation Power comes from Xiangjiang. Because of Bao Zixuan, the Heiyun three-rotor engine is very popular in the market. But after all, the production capacity is limited, and only Embraer and Heiyun itself will use it.
Of course, there is now another United Aircraft Manufacturing Company, and the engines they are using now are the latest products of Heiyun Aviation Power Company. Three other companies are still exploring the 400 kN civil aviation engine, but there is still a long way to go before it is finalized.
Heiyun Group has once again come to the front, and now is the critical moment to verify the engine's true power and fuel consumption.
If it can really achieve the performance introduced, then Boeing really needs to go over and have a serious talk with Heiyun Group.
There are no permanent friends in the world, and there are no permanent enemies. As long as the benefits are sufficient, you can cooperate with anyone. Moreover, there was no conflict between the two companies before, and it was not impossible to purchase engines from Heiyun Group.
But to truly solve the problem, the two U.S. aerospace power giants are still needed. However, Li Ling also saw engineers from General Dynamics and Pratt & Whitney among the experience teams. It seems that the other party is also understanding its competitors. If they don't develop new products, they may not even be able to drink soup.
