Rebirth of the Auto Giant

Chapter 518 Airworthiness Certificate

1999, August 12.

At the Shanghai Airport, Wang Shicong walked out of the airport exit under the protection of Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.

Huang Shan, Tang Fei's factory director, had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Wang Shi and the others coming out, he walked over.

The group of people left the airport, got on Wude 10's special car, and drove to Tang Fei Company.

"The current situation of Yun-10 is that in the past few years, according to different geographical locations and different climatic conditions, it has flown to Heshi, Harbin, Uqi, Huacheng, Kunming and other cities, and has flown to Xila City on the plateau 20 times.

So far, we have flown for a total of 2,114 hours, and we have conducted fatigue tests and airframe structural tests..." Huang Shan turned to look at Wang Shi from the co-pilot position and introduced the test situation of the Y-10 over the years.

"It was said before that the strength of the aircraft body was not enough, and cracks were discovered during the test. Has it been resolved now?" The safety of an aircraft's body is very important.

The air is thin when the aircraft is at an altitude of hundreds or thousands of meters. If the aircraft body breaks, it will be a disaster, so Wang Shi has always remembered this technical flaw very clearly.

"Well, it's solved. With the help of dozens of foreign experts, we have developed it with several domestic universities. Now we have produced the casing in a company that was previously required to produce fuselages and passed the European M safety certification.

Test." Huang Shan said.

In the past few years, especially in 1991, Tang Fei has introduced many experts from abroad.

"Well, your idea is right. We have no experience in this area. We have to admit that they are our teachers in this area. This is related to the safety of hundreds of lives. The safety of airplanes cannot be careless.

, it is necessary to participate in and pass their safety test, and in the future we will have to pass their test to obtain the airworthiness certificate issued by them. Now we start to follow their rules, which greatly improves the success rate of the airworthiness certificate." Wang Shi

said.

When the airworthiness certificate was mentioned, Huang Shan looked worried and said, "Wang Wen, do you think we can get this airworthiness certificate?"

Huangshan's worries are not groundless.

Now in the world's civil aviation market there are only Boeing and Airbus. Now that Tang Fei is included, aren't you trying to grab the cake from others? The airworthiness certificate is in their hands. With their stupidity, they will issue it to you.

That's weird.

"It's not easy. I've been thinking about this. After thinking about it, I haven't been able to find a good way. However, now let's do our own things well. First of all, the quality of the product must be reliable. We will think about it later.

Way." Wang Shi said.

The car quickly drove into Tang Fei's company.

Tangfei Company occupies a large area and has its own airstrip, assembly workshop, and various testing departments.

Wang Shi came here this time to roll out the final assembly of the first prototype of the Y10.

The first successful test flight of the Y-10 was in September 1980. Since 1982, the development of the Y-10 has basically come to a halt.

Wang Shi took over the Yun-10 in 1986, and has been conducting various tests since 1986. During these 13 years, the Yun-10 has gone through various tests, and now the first prototype is finally finalized and assembled.

Seeing the brand new Fortune 10 lying there quietly like a white swan, a huge sense of accomplishment that I had never experienced before came to my heart.

Previous construction machinery diesel engines, later diesel electronic injection engines, and Wude 10 did not have this feeling.

This is our first large aircraft. Although we have spent countless funds in the past few years, now seeing the original model of the Y-10 in front of us and the team in front of us, everything is worth it.

There is no greater sense of accomplishment than saving a large aircraft yourself.

Yun-10 has a wingspan of 42.24 meters and a height of 13.42 meters. It is powered by four turbofan 8 engines. It has a maximum take-off weight of 110 tons, a maximum flight speed of 974 kilometers/hour, a maximum flight of 11,000 meters, and a maximum air time of 4 hours.

49 points.

In terms of range, the maximum load capacity is 5,560 kilometers and the maximum fuel load is 8,000 kilometers.

Cabin layout.

There are 124 seats arranged in mixed class, 16 first class seats with a row spacing of 1.05 meters, and 108 economy class seats with a row spacing of 0.88 meters.

There are 149 seats arranged according to the full economic level, with a row spacing of 0.88 meters.

According to high-density layout (row spacing 0.7366 meters), up to 179 seats can be accommodated.

With the help of imported experts, the reliability of the Turbofan 8 has also made a qualitative leap. Various flight tests have proven that the Y-10 aircraft has good performance and can undertake necessary transportation tasks on any domestic route.

However, to get out of the car, you must obtain an airworthiness certificate issued by an EU-M country.

"Tomorrow the prototype model will roll off the production line for its first flight. The marketing department will invite well-known domestic TV stations to report on it, and will also produce an official promotional video. I will ask commercial websites such as Sohu, NetEase and Daoli to broadcast it in important positions.

"Wang Shi said to Huang Shan.

"Okay." Huang Shan said.

"Our arrangement is like this. We plan to recruit the entire department leaders and experts, and let's hold a meeting together." Huang Shan looked at Wang Shi and said.

"Well, let's go then." Wang Shi also had some ideas to discuss with everyone.

Everyone came to the conference room.

Leaders from various departments and experts came.

The experts in Uzbekistan have also learned Chinese very quickly in recent years and can understand and communicate normally.

"The things have been made, but we don't care about the quality. We still have a hurdle to overcome, which is the airworthiness certificate. This is a big mountain and it's not easy to climb. Let's talk about it. What's good about it?

Let’s talk about all the ways.” Wang Shi looked at everyone and said.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Shi thought for a while and said: "Currently we have two ways. The first is that we cooperate with the two companies and exchange the market for it. There is a saying called international cooperation, peace and win-win. Look,

Let’s see if they can let go of the airworthiness certificate. In other words, in addition to the engine and casing, we can supply components such as avionics and landing gear tires to Airbus or Boeing, and we can make money together.”

"If EU M really doesn't agree, then we have another way. We can bypass them, reach bilateral airworthiness agreements with relevant countries, mutual recognition of airworthiness certificates, and realize international flights first. Of course, this is a back-up move.

You can't suffocate yourself to death," Wang Shi said.

"Mr. Wang is right, we are prepared with both hands, but our Yun 10 is not 100% localized. This...doesn't it make them cheaper?" Huang Shan said unhappily.

"Haha, who said that aircraft must be 100% domestically produced? The localization rate of Airbus and Boeing is only 36%. In addition to our engines, a few other parts can also be matched with international procurement. As long as we ensure

Just 60% domestic production is enough," Wang Shi said.

"The marketing department immediately contacted Country M. After the original model made its first flight, it began to participate in their various assessments to see if it could obtain the airworthiness certificate issued by them. However, I don't think it will be so easy, but our main

Use their equipment to test the quality of our shipments and figure out the rest later."
