Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

After leaving Heiyun Bank, Bao Zixuan did not go home. Instead, he came to the aircraft manufacturing center. The Heiyun passenger aircraft combined with the Soviet Tu-204 passenger aircraft has been designed and the first experimental prototype has been built.

Fortunately, the complete set of technologies for the new passenger aircraft were obtained from the Soviet Union through ground-effect aircraft. Otherwise, Bao, the richest man, would not have been able to develop a passenger aircraft even if he was extremely capable.

Bao Zixuan came to the Heiyun Aircraft Manufacturing Center. He had been here several times before, but this was the first time he saw an aircraft being manufactured. Looking at this behemoth in front of him, the beauty of industrial art was vividly displayed, making people feel excited.

At this time, an Asian mixed-race man saw Bao Zixuan and immediately walked up to him and said, "Boss, how about our big guy? We have completed many simulated flights and now that we have reached the test flight conditions, we are waiting for you to come and make a decision."

To say that this Asian aircraft engineer is quite extraordinary, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a family background. His family plays a decisive role in the history of aircraft in the world, and it is well-deserved to say that they are the first family of Chinese-American aircraft designers.

Return.

Wang Quanming, 36 years old this year; graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology majoring in aeronautical design and manufacturing, and has been working at Boeing since graduation. It was Heiyun Group that spent a huge price, and at the same time, the richest man Bao promised that he could leave at any time if he was not happy at work, and

It was only because Wang Quanming was satisfied with his idea of ​​designing two aircraft that he liked in the future that he recruited this young talent in the aircraft design industry.

For this reason, there was a stalemate with Boeing, and Wang Quanming was almost expelled from the family. You must know that their family has a tradition in Boeing, and he has even been working for Boeing since his grandfather.

Wang Zhu, courtesy name Yupeng, was born in Kyoto, China. He is an aircraft designer and manufacturing technology expert.

In August 1909, Wang Zhu was sent to study in the United Kingdom. In 1910, he first entered the Armstrong Naval University in the United Kingdom and then interned at the Vickers Factory. In June 1916, he became the second graduate of the MIT Aeronautical Engineering Department and received a bachelor's degree in aeronautical engineering.

Master's degree.

Wang Zhu is an early aircraft designer and manufacturing technology expert who studied abroad and obtained a master's degree in aeronautical engineering in China. He participated in the establishment of China's first formal aircraft manufacturing plant - Mawei Naval Aircraft Engineering Office. He initiated and prepared the establishment of the Hangzhou Aircraft Manufacturing Plant in cooperation with China and the United States. Anti-Japanese War

During the war, he established the China Aviation Research Institute and personally participated in the development of a variety of aircraft components with bamboo and wood composite structures. He was one of the main founders of China's modern aviation industry.

Wang Quanming is the grandson of Wang Zhu, an absolute aviation family. This kind of talent is wanted by major aircraft manufacturers around the world, but he did not expect that he would eventually come to Heiyun Group. It was also from this time on that Boeing began to regard Heiyun as its

Treated as a rival. Not only because of Heiyun's success in aviation engines, but also because of Wang Quanming's joining.

At that time, U.S. Undersecretary of Defense Gentel said that Qian Lao could be worth five divisions by himself. Although Wang Quanming was not that capable, according to the chief designer of Boeing, Heiyun Group could save at least five years by acquiring Wang Quanming.

Detour. This is a very high evaluation, and it is also one of the greatest compliments for engineers.

Bao Zixuan: "It's very spectacular. I have worked hard these days. I am looking forward to the moment when it can fly in the blue sky. I think it will not disappoint anyone. Let me introduce it carefully. After all, this is the result of the hard work of all engineers, especially the seniors."

Wang Quanming knew that Bao Zixuan was just talking politely. The basis of this aircraft came from the Soviet Union, and the aero engine was a mature product of Heiyun. The team he brought from the United States played more of a role in integrating resources.

It's not very big. Even an ordinary aircraft designer can complete this job very well.

If he had to take credit, the most he could do was bring some of Boeing's advanced concepts to Heiyun Group; he would not dare to take credit. However, as a Hong Kong enterprise, it is still something to be proud of for being able to produce such an advanced aircraft.

Wang Quanming: "Boss, these are mature technologies. I'm just integrating resources, but I don't dare to take credit."

Bao Zixuan is being polite when he calls you senior, but you can't do it in a disrespectful way. If you really call him a junior, what will other colleagues think? You must know that the engineering team of Heiyun Group has a lot of people who graduated from MIT.

.Is it strange that all engineers who graduated from MIT call Bao Zixuan their junior brother?

Bao Zixuan: "Tell me whether this aircraft can reach the world's advanced level."

Wang Quanming organized his language and said: Technical parameters of the Black Cloud 1 passenger aircraft;

Although I know the specific design parameters of this aircraft, after it was produced, I still felt that the Soviet aircraft manufacturing level was really good. It was because of the suppression and blockade of the United States that it was not promoted to the world. Maybe there were also financial and institutional factors. After all, at that time

The political environment did not allow the Soviets to vigorously develop civil aviation.

The heavy military pressure prevented the Soviets from putting much effort into passenger aircraft and focused mainly on the research and development of military weapons. You must know that in the eyes of the Soviets, if they did not have powerful weapons and equipment, they would not be able to suppress the Americans.

When the Soviets produced the Tu-204 passenger aircraft, the Americans were very nervous for a time. But later it was discovered that there were problems with the avionics system, operating system, fax system, and engine thrust, which were just superficial.

Rest assured, Boeing feels that the threat is not as great as imagined and allows customers to make their own choices.

The Soviet Union was already in decline at that time and had no ability to significantly upgrade and improve the aircraft. A combination of various factors prevented the Tu-204 passenger aircraft from winning the international market, which can only be said to be a fate.

But this time it is Heiyun Group who is doing research and development, and it is Bao Zixuan who is improving the Tu-204 passenger aircraft. The avionics system has been revolutionaryly improved, and two industrial computers are placed inside the aircraft alone. The supporting system is also specially developed and is definitely leading the way.

existence in this era.

Bao Zixuan: "Senior, how do you feel about this aircraft compared to the Boeing 757?"

In fact, it is not only Bao Zixuan who has thought about this issue, Wang Quanming is also constantly comparing the two aircraft.

The Boeing 757 aircraft is a 200-seat single-aisle, twin-engine, narrow-body, medium-range civil aviation transport aircraft produced by Boeing Company. Due to the surge in oil prices in the 1970s, fuel consumption accounted for an increase in the direct cost of air transportation. The civil aviation passenger aircraft used at that time had higher fuel consumption

, so there is an urgent need for new civil aviation aircraft with low fuel consumption. In the mid-1970s, Boeing decided to develop a new 200-seat aircraft to replace the Boeing 727, and some Boeing 70

7. Originally named 7n7 (n: narrow body), after obtaining 40 start-up orders and 42 intention orders from British Airways and Eastern Airlines, Boeing officially launched the 7n7 development plan in March 1979.

Based on the Boeing 727, new wings and advanced engines were used to reduce operating costs by reducing fuel consumption and reducing the weight of the aircraft. At the end of 1979, the 7n7 was officially renamed the Boeing 757.

The Boeing 757 has the largest range among subsonic narrow-body airliners, with a range of more than 7,200 kilometers, which is enough to cross the Atlantic Ocean. It is very similar to the upgraded version of the Black Cloud Tu-204. It can be said that the two aircraft will definitely become competitors.

Wang Quanming thought for a while and said: "Each has its own merits, and it can be described as difficult to distinguish."

"The technology of our aircraft is very advanced, but when the Soviets designed it, some of the layout was not very reasonable, which would invisibly waste the thrust of the engine. However, the aircraft has been tested in the wind tunnel, and no one can change it now."

"Boeing 757 has a more reasonable appearance design, but its engine thrust-to-weight ratio is worse, and it is not as good as us in some details."

"If these two aircraft compete in the competition, as long as the prices are similar, the sales volume should be similar. However, we have to consider Boeing's customer base, so we dare not draw a clear conclusion yet."

As a former designer of Boeing Company, his evaluation is very objective. At this time, Bao Zixuan has made up his mind to engage in a price war at worst. Although it goes against the original intention, there is currently no particularly effective method.
