Chapter 154 Turboshaft to Turboprop
Liang Yuan pretended to be a charlatan, smiled and said, "Mom guessed right, right?"
Seeing my mother glaring at her, Liang Yuan quickly continued, "I hope we can build our own planes, and United Airlines will not wait for bankruptcy."
"Xiaoyuan, don't look at how big the company is, the output value of more than one billion yuan a year is like a lot, and it is not enough to put it in the aircraft manufacturing industry. Even if the country wants to build a civil aviation passenger aircraft project, a large factory like Xi'an and Hafei has to invest tens of billions of dollars to be able to successfully develop the research and development."
"Xiaoyuan has now sold the entire group together. It is considered successful to build a complete passenger aircraft assembly line of about 20 billion yuan out of thin air." Li Yuanling said with some sigh.
"But my mother is even more curious about how Xiaoyuan should solve these problems. Even if you, Uncle Ning, helps you get the oil field at the Pearl River Estuary, it will not be able to relieve near-thirst. Moreover, the various things in the development of large civil aviation passenger planes in China are countless times more complicated than the gas turbines caused by my mother." Li Yuanling said unsatisfiedly.
Although the warning intentions in Li Yuanling's words were hidden very deeply, Liang Yuan still understood what he meant. The Spei project that Li Yuanling took over had an indescribable relationship with the great movement that year. The Republic was just coldly dealt with a few years ago and dragged down by ten domestic large passenger aircraft transportation projects, which were even more black than the Spei project.
Putting aside the performance of Yunshen, just looking at the Yunshen project, none of the competent departments dared to show their heads after the Yunshen project was out of money. The State Administration of Civil Aviation, the Third Ministry of Machinery, the Wusong Municipal Government and other departments all disappeared without a trace. In the end, the Wusong Municipal Government even threw the entire aircraft manufacturer directly to the central government like a hot potato, and you know that the inside story here is absolutely impossible.
Liang Yuan dared to take over the SB project because he believed in his mother's R&D strength and was sure that he could complete SB's domestic production tasks in a short period of time. In addition, the gas turbines are very wide-ranging, and even if they are built small power plants, they can maintain the project.
After Yunshi dismounted, Liang Yuan had no intention of participating in this kind of project that had been quarreling until the new century. Not to mention that Yunshi's performance is uncertain, even if Yunshi's performance is superior, Liang Yuan would not take the potential risk of offending a large number of people to pick up this hornet's nest.
In Liang Yuan's view, although R&D passenger aircraft is slightly inferior to R&D aircraft engines in terms of technical content, in terms of resources and scope of influence, the influence of large civil aircraft is order of magnitude greater than that of aircraft engines. Since Li Yuanling took over the SB project, R&D passenger aircraft has become a problem that Liang Yuan will face sooner or later.
Not to mention anything else. Since the era of great development of civil aviation passenger aircraft in the 1960s, it is common for national leaders to actively promote as lobbyists of large passenger aircraft. Liang Yuan clearly remembers that no matter whether in Europe, Britain, France, Germany or the US president, as long as they visit China, Airbus or Boeing, it is a must-have reservation project on the agenda.
Since the era of Yan Hongji, the Republic of Iron Fist, established a total of 10 billion yuan in the production and development of large passenger aircrafts. As the Republic's national strength strengthened and entered the new century, the relevant prime minister's funds even approached the scale of over 100 billion yuan. From then on, it can be seen that the high-end passenger aircraft industry is completely a reflection of the national will.
Faced with this big cake, local governments, AVIC Group, the State Administration of Civil Aviation, and even the Republican military, which was banned from doing business in the later period, were involved. In addition, the iron-like tough competition between the two giants Airbus and Boeing, and the issues of one to nine types of air rights exchanges between Republican airlines and large foreign airlines are entangled. This battlefield filled with smoke is not enough to describe it as tragic.
This is a market that is far more cruel than the modern wafer industry. The will of the country, the glory of the nation, the choice of the market, technological progress, extremely harsh safety certification and other issues are entangled. To put it simply, without the support of the state, more than 10 billion yuan of funds may not be enough for compensation for an air crash.
Since Ning Lei and Tang Wan proposed to cooperate with the Air Force United Airlines, Liang Yuan intuitively felt that large aviation operation companies and large aircraft manufacturing companies should have an inseparable connection with aviation engine manufacturing.
When Liang Yuan commissioned Zhang Jianxin and Qilianshan to collect public information from large power companies such as Rolls, General Motors, Puhui, and Mtu, Daimler-Benz, and Daimler-Benz, and was surprised to find Cecas, a commercial service company with the name of generic names, Liang Yuan found the most reliable answer for his intuition.
The full name of cecas is gecapitalaviationservices. According to the Republic's practice, it is more appropriate to call it a general aviation financial service company. Cecas' main business is companies that lease various models of aircraft and related aviation equipment. When Liang Yuan saw that the large passenger aircraft fleet of cecas had exceeded 1,300, serving more than 200 airlines. It is the largest aircraft leasing company on the planet, Liang Yuan finally understood the ecological chain of the aviation industry and also figured out what kind of monster he would face in the future.
Compared with General Group, which has been established for a hundred years and supported the backbone of America, Microsoft, which emerged in later generations, Apple is really like a toy. It is harmless to throw away companies such as Microsoft and Apple. If General Group loses its national strength, it will drop by at least 20%.
When aero engines account for about 30% of the total cost of aircraft manufacturing, Boeing, which seems to be a giant, is to some extent a large-sized worker under General Motors. Among the three major aerodynamic companies, General Motors, Puhui and Rolls-Royce, General Motors is indisputable overlord landlords, which are not without reason.
Facing this giant who looks down on the entire industrial chain, Liang Yuan can only take the path of establishing an industrial structure the same as that of him. Otherwise, no matter whether he comes from the upstream or downstream of the industry, even if he is just a small weakness, he will be trapped by his opponent.
Fortunately, no one knows that the Republic behind him will grow into the world's second largest economy in less than twenty years. It has become the driving force engine that drives the economic development of the entire planet. Without this extremely solid backing, Liang Yuan would not have faced competition in a field like General Motors that has established a dominant position. Now, hooking up with local American capitalists to strangle Microsoft, which is still weak, and Apple that cannot be found, is much easier than facing General Motors.
After Liang Yuan decided to completely imitate the general enterprise structure, he focused all his energy on the plane. In addition to the advantage of far-reaching vision, the so-called monopoly operation in the Republic is even more like an air-like speech. Liang Yuan can unscrupulously build relevant enterprise chains directly, instead of having to spend a lot of effort to deal with those annoying independent prosecutors like American companies.
Throughout November, Liang Yuan was not idle at all. Although he nominally accompanied two loli to school and ended classes every day, the schoolbags were all things that were not related to the classroom. The aviation manufacturing and operation materials of traditional industrial countries such as Britain, France, Germany, and Italy were filled with Liang Yuan's schoolbag. The thick English original "Jane's Aviation Vehicle Yearbook" had been dug out by Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan strongly recalled the aircraft manufacturing companies that had an advantage in the global aviation field in later generations. Compared with the familiar Airbus and Boeing, Liang Yuan was not even as good as the ants under the feet of the giant at this time, and it might be more appropriate to describe it as dust.
When Liang Yuan spent more than a month and searched through almost all the public information in the field of civil aircraft manufacturing in the 1980s, and compared some of the models that were deeply impressed in his memory in his previous life, Liang Yuan was surprised to find that although the market for large trunk passenger aircraft temporarily maintained a stalemate between Airbus, Boeing and McDonald after bloody competition, there was a huge room for development on the regional passenger aircraft.
On large trunk passenger planes, even companies like Lockheed can only get rid of their heads and tragically withdrawal. The regional passenger plane market in the 1980s was still in a barren state, and international politics was still shrouded in the huge shadow of the Cold War. The traditional aviation market has become saturated. In the eyes of all commercial investigation agencies, future airliners can only develop in a direction that is bigger, bigger, and bigger.
No one would have thought that the red empire as hard as steel would be destroyed in just three years. After the Cold War, as global resources withdraw from the confrontation of war and devoted themselves to various fields such as people's livelihood, electronics, and new economy, emerging countries represented by the Republic have entered a new era of rapid development, and regional passenger aircraft with low requirements for airport take-off and landing conditions have created great demand.
At this time, the two strong regional passenger planes in the future, Canada Bombardier and Embraer were on the eve of rapid development. Bombardier had not yet extended its merger tentacles to the European continent and was honestly staying in Canada. The future powerful CRJ series regional passenger planes remained on the drawings, and the Emb120 propeller passenger plane that laid the cornerstone of Embraer's rise has only been offline for three years.
The blue sky temporarily left a glimmer of light to the Republic. Faced with this situation, although Liang Yuan had never been exposed to the aircraft manufacturing industry, there was such a rare opportunity in this industry that was closely related to the work he was engaged in. Liang Yuan was really reluctant to let go.
After all, something was left. At the turn of the century, I couldn't run around in the sky of the Republic, sitting on those planes that had been familiar with in my previous life. Even if I failed, I wouldn't be able to support someone. One day at noon, Liang Yuan looked at the big-eyed and smiling beauty in front of him and decided to go on the most difficult road.
Faced with mother's questions, Liang Yuan could not say: Mom, the real situation may be ten times worse than you imagined.
"Mom, I don't want to build a Boeing 747, I'm scared you." Liang Yuan said uncontrollably.
"Actually, I mainly want to discuss something with my mother first. If it doesn't work, no matter how much I think, it's useless. I can only go to the Soviet Union to change the map 154." Liang Yuan smiled and approached Li Yuanling.
"Tell me, what are you thinking about?" Li Yuanling sorted out Liang Yuan's messy hair casually.
The two lolitas looked at Liang Yuan coming over mysteriously, and couldn't help but pinch Li Yuanling's shoulders. They curiously placed their chin on the backrest of the sofa, staring at Liang Yuan with their black eyes open.
"Mom, do you think that after the Gem Turboshaft engine is introduced, can it be changed to a turboprop engine to use?" Liang Yuan asked nervously.
"What should I do if I change it to a turboprop?" Li Yuanling asked in confusion.
However, seeing Liang Yuan did not answer, he looked at him pitifully, and Li Yuanling could not care about the questions, so she could only do her best to consider her son's problem first.
