Taking over the large aircraft project
I thought I had solved the most difficult problem of the engine, and nothing else was a problem.
But after actually setting it up, I found that there were many things that didn’t work.
First of all, CATIA for modeling and ANSYS for simulation are banned.
COMAC had no choice but to find programming experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and it took more than three months to barely come up with a design software.
It is usable with various bugs and missing features.
Then came the airfoils, avionics, flight control… and so on.
There’s really no place where it doesn’t get stuck.
Because the safety of civil aviation and military use is different.
Those J20 military planes are really in danger.
The pilot can press the ejection button and escape from the dangerous aircraft.
But civil aviation involves the lives of hundreds of people, and there is not even a parachute.
Completely 100% dependent on the safety of the aircraft.
Therefore, the project of building domestically produced aircraft must strive for excellence at every step.
The result of this is…
There are now 4 models of military aircraft, while civilian aircraft are still in their infancy.
Many key components have not even been manufactured yet.
“Su Chen.”
Mr. Liao of COMAC said with sincere eyes: “I am following the instructions of the leaders above.”
“Please take charge of the domestic C919 large aircraft project.”
“For this reason, COMAC is willing to cooperate with Huazhi Company. We only occupy 18 % of the shares.”
This ratio is actually quite large.
Because the most critical engine was developed by Huazhi.
With Su Chen’s strength, he could build his own plane.
The administrative approval procedures were even easier for him.
But Su Chen still happily accepted the cooperation. Aircraft is a major event for the country and the people.
Now China does not have its own aircraft manufacturing company.
All passenger aircraft are imported.
The large aircraft market is basically monopolized by the beautiful country (Poland) and the romantic country (Kongke).
There is also the danger of getting your neck stuck at any time.
As for the price, take the Bo Yin 737 series as an example.
Generally, it costs 50-80 million US dollars a piece.
The 747 and 777 aircraft are more expensive, both exceeding $100 million.
As we all know, China’s civil aviation market has huge potential.
Airlines purchase about 220 mainline aircraft every year, valued at tens of billions of dollars.
In the next 20 years, it will receive 9,205 passenger aircraft with more than 50 seats.
The market value is about 1.4 trillion U.S. dollars, which is about 10 trillion yuan after accounting for the exchange rate.
In such a large-scale industry, Su Chen had absolutely no reason to leave it to others.
After learning that he agreed.
The official website of Longguo issued a news announcement.
[About: Major changes in the domestic large aircraft project]
People were happy to see the specific content in the article.
“Great! With Su Shen leading the manufacturing of large aircraft, the efficiency must be calculated on a daily basis!” ”
This time we can finally fly our own aircraft.”
“Excited, we will also build a private jet at the same time.”
“The announcement said The first batch of regional aircraft will be delivered in three months at the earliest, and mainline aircraft will be delivered in half a year.”
…
amid the cheers of everyone.
The domestic aircraft project officially started.
“Mr. Su.” Zhu Rong
, the former chief engineer of the large aircraft project, said respectfully: “Please give me your guidance!”
Behind him is a research and development team of 500 people.
These are the elites in the country’s aerospace field.
The oldest is already 7 and almost 80 years old. The youngest is 40.
All are at the level of aviation experts and professors.
But in front of Su Chen, they were all extremely humble and respectful.
Just like a primary school student waiting for the teacher to teach and solve doubts.
Everyone is full of anticipation and full of energy.
Because they have been trapped for a long time and there are still many fatal problems that have not been solved.
But at that time, Su Chen was busy building military aircraft.
Mr. Liao also knows that homeland security comes first.
That’s why I waited until the military plane was almost completed and came to find Su Chen.
Now the great savior has arrived.
“What problems have you encountered so far?”
Su Chen looked calm and relaxed: “Tell me all!” Zhu,
the former chief engineer of the national aircraft project, said truthfully:
“First of all, the biggest problem is the material.”
“The second is one of the most critical components. Landing gear.”
“There are also control chips and sensor probes.”
“The designed wing has a poor lift effect simulated in the software.”
“…”
After a report, it turned out that there were indeed many problems.
In fact, most of the components of aircraft can now be made domestically.
It’s just that a lot of the quality is not up to par.
This involves materials and processing and manufacturing.
Su Chen asked Mr. Lu to fully take over the role of chief engineer of the aircraft.
Start with composite materials, high-strength steel, titanium alloys, etc.
Less than ten days.
Can withstand landing weights of up to several hundred tons.
As well as the landing gear materials that were impacted by loads at speeds approaching 300 kilometers per hour, they were completed.
“Mr. Su!”
Zhu, the chief engineer of the National Aircraft Project, was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.
“The speed of your scientific research is terrifying.”
He looked at the completed landing gear samples in the workshop and felt particularly excited.
The landing gear is a relatively heavy part of the aircraft.
It accounts for about 7% of the maximum takeoff weight.
Blue Star has three manufacturers dominating the landing gear market.
A beautiful country, a romantic country, and a beer country.
We can wait until Huazhi’s landing gear is built.
The sales share of the other three companies will be significantly reduced.
Even three against one could not defeat Huazhi.
Then there are compression-resistant and fatigue-resistant composite materials.
This is very versatile.
It can be used on the rear section of the rear fuselage, horizontal tail, vertical tail, elevator, rudder, flaps, ailerons, winglets, spoilers and other parts.
Less than a month.
The problems that had troubled the national scientific research team before have been solved.
All that remains is manufacturing and assembly.
This is a sure thing.
The basic aircraft rolling off the production line will be in accordance with the previously announced schedule.
And just then.
Law Enforcement arrested a man who stole confidential information.
His name is Edward, and he relies on his status as a financial entrepreneur in China.
He deliberately approached the military zone many times and secretly took photos of J20, Yun-20, and Wu-10.
And tried to instigate rebellion against the person in charge of my organization.
After being captured, the spy Edward refused to admit his death.
But the evidence is conclusive and there is no suspense at all.
After the beautiful country learned the news.
The Foreign Minister immediately held a press conference.
We strongly condemn the detention of its citizens who are legally doing business.
Demand Edward’s immediate and unconditional acquittal, otherwise there will be serious consequences.
However, nothing is of any use.
When the evidence is solid.
China simply ignored the other party’s condemnation and threats.
The spy Edward was convicted and thrown into prison according to law.
This made the people applaud and have high aspirations:
“Domineering! Spies should be punished!”
“How angry! We have just developed advanced fighter planes, and now they come to steal secrets.” ”
Finally, it is the foreign country’s turn to steal technology from us. This feels doubly true. So cool!”
“Hahaha, this year the beautiful country also has strong condemnation!”
…
News media reporters.
They even gathered at the entrance of Huazhi headquarters early in the morning.
They handed over the microphone one after another and asked about Su Chen’s attitude.
Face the camera.
Su Chen smiled lightly.
I have only one message for the mastermind behind this incident.
