Chapter 840 Money is really nothing

.There were probably the news in advance. The leaders and workers of the Lingxi Provincial Aircraft Manufacturing Factory expressed great enthusiasm for the arrival of Fan Heng and others. Although Fan Heng's status should be welcomed in this way, judging from the atmosphere on the scene, the workers' welcome to the entire inspection team must have exceeded their enthusiasm for an executive vice premier.

Moreover, many people even saw that instead of saying that everyone's eyes were circling around Fan Heng, it would be better to say that everyone's mind was on Fan Wubing who followed Fan Heng.

Fan Wubing also noticed this and couldn't help but think that it was Lingxi Province who leaked his inspection of the group. Based on his superstition of the legendary state-owned enterprise savior Fan Investment Group and his admiration for himself, this situation has led to the emergence of this situation.

In fact, Fan Wubing is indeed quite interested in Lingxi Aircraft Manufacturing Factory. As the only private group company in China that is accepted by senior management and can invest in military-industrial enterprises, Fan Investment Group can inject capital or inject technical capabilities into these state-owned enterprises and military-industrial enterprises. This is the point that Lingxi Province has very eagerly expected for itself.

Whether it is West Aircraft or Shenyang Aircraft, domestic aircraft manufacturers can actually produce some civilian small and medium-sized aircraft, as well as some second-generation or even second- and a half-generation military fighter jets, but if compared with international aircraft manufacturing companies, the gap is relatively large.

In many key technologies, companies such as Xi'an Aircraft Corporation and Shenyang Aircraft Corporation cannot reach the high-end technical level, so they lack the ability to compete for the major aircraft projects.

In fact, even during the Cultural Revolution, the domestic large aircraft development capabilities were not weak at all.

The large jet passenger aircraft designed and manufactured by China is the Yun-1O aircraft. The maximum take-off weight of the aircraft is 110 tons, the maximum cruising degree is 974 kilometers per hour, and the maximum practical range is 8,000 kilometers. The cabin is arranged according to the three poles of the entire tourism, mixed and economic, and can carry 124,149,178 passengers respectively. The Yun-1O aircraft is designed by the Shanghai Aircraft Research Institute, manufactured and assembled by the Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, and the Shanghai Aviation Electrical Factory undertakes landing gear, and has received cooperative support from more than 300 units inside and outside the Shanghai Municipal and the Ministry of Aviation.

The development of the Y-1O aircraft started in 1970 and was successfully tested in September 1980. After that, the development and transition test flights were carried out, proving that the Y-1O aircraft had good performance and met the design requirements. The successful test flight of the Y-1O aircraft caused a strong response at home and abroad. The aviation community of the United States, Britain and other countries commented that this was a major exhibition of China's aviation technology, which shortened the gap between China's civil aviation industry and the world's advanced level by fifteen years. When obtaining this highly complex technology, it can no longer be said that China is a backward country.

It was during the Cultural Revolution, which seriously disrupted the development work. However, under extremely difficult conditions, the vast number of workers and scientific and technological personnel, with the sense of responsibility and career to win glory for the country, adhered to a scientific attitude of seeking truth from facts, regardless of rewards, worked day and night, overcame various difficulties, and finally made the Yun-1O plane fly into the blue sky.

The successful test flight of the Y-1O aircraft has filled a gap in China's aviation industry. It is a major scientific and technological achievement. In terms of design technology, there are many aspects of domestic breakthroughs. In terms of manufacturing technology, there are also many new processes used in domestic aircraft.

After a lot of tests and test flight practices, it has proved that the Y-1o aircraft has good handling characteristics and safety. It is not easy to enter the tail rotation and is easy to change the tail rotation. It has good degree characteristics. Its drag dispersion Mach number is better than similar aircraft and has good airport adaptability. Under the airport conditions at that time, domestic airports can be used more than Boeing 7o7 and Trident aircraft. It also has great development potential, such as modifying the motor and extending the fuselage, which can improve its economy. If you open a large cabin door on the fuselage, it can be converted into a passenger and cargo dual-purpose aircraft or military transport aircraft. It is also a suitable candidate for early warning aircraft and aerial refueling aircraft.

Through the development of the 1O aircraft, more than 100 achievements of application value have been achieved in China. However, due to the historical conditions at that time, when designing the 1O aircraft, it was mainly considered from a long special aircraft. It was required to cross the ocean and have a voyage of 7,000 kilometers, which increased the aircraft structure and oil load weight and decreased the number of commercial loads.

After the test flight of the Y1O aircraft was successful, due to funding, the development work was difficult to continue. After the development was successful, the Shanghai Flying Factory wrote a letter to the central leaders to report the development of the Y1O aircraft.

The State Council once asked experts to conduct argumentation on this issue and proposed that the entire development process should be completed. After the meeting, the Ministry of Machine Building and the Shanghai Municipal Government proposed four plans to continue development, but were not approved. From the following year, the development of the 1O aircraft has basically reached a standstill.

Fan Wubing has always been upset about the production of large aircraft in China. If large aircraft can be produced in China, his airline can save a lot of money. The dozens or hundreds of aircraft purchased from Airbus or Boeing are indeed valuable. To be honest, he also feels a little distressed. Instead of spending so much money for foreigners to make money, it is better to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in China to build his own large aircraft, which not only satisfies the use, but also trains the design and manufacturing team, solves a large number of job opportunities, and makes the Chinese people proud. It can be said that they can kill multiple goals in one fell swoop.

In fact, large aircraft projects can train the work team very much. Whether in terms of design or trial manufacturing, there are many problems that need to be solved, and more of a cooperation mechanism is paid attention to. It often requires the collaboration of multiple companies, but in the current environment, it is indeed very difficult to achieve this effect.

Fan Wubing's initial idea was to join dozens of domestic research institutions and more than a dozen aircraft manufacturers to build a large aircraft project. While processing parts for Airbus or Boeing, he began to rebuild domestic large aircraft projects, and strive to produce large aircraft products that can be compared with aircraft products such as Airbus a38o within ten years.

In fact, according to the current technical strength and production capacity, this goal is not very high. The most critical step is to make funds in place. At the same time, it is to make preferential policies to domestic aircraft manufacturers on aircraft orders and focus on supporting them.

When inspecting the Lingxi Provincial Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, Fan Wubing casually raised the matter of 1o aircraft, saying that he was somewhat confused about the suspension of this project that year.

The chief engineer of the Lingxi Aircraft Manufacturing Factory participated in the development of Yun1O aircraft at the Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory. He was familiar with the experience of Yun1O aircraft. He heard this and said to Fan Wubing, "Before Yun10 test flights, someone had put forward the opinion of stopping the development. After Yun1O's successful flight, the people of the whole country were happy and proud. But some people regarded Yun1O as the negative experience of pulling seedlings to grow, saying that the development of Yun1O was a decision-making mistake and a product of self-containment. The result was that they wanted to reach the sky in one step. The desire was not fulfilled. This attitude was not the same as buying a ship that had a negative attitude towards the shipbuilding industry back then. As for foreign countries, the US McDonnell Aircraft Company was also determined to defeat Yun1O, otherwise they would not be able to enter and occupy the Chinese aviation market."

At that time, McDonald's company in the United States started the assembly business of DC-98o in Shanghai. Later, it boasted in Fortune magazine how it made a billion-dollar business, saying that because Shanghai had done the 1O, they cooperated with Shanghai. If it did not defeat the 1O project, American aircraft would not be able to enter the Chinese market.

After Yun1O was pulled down and dismounted, in December 1986, the State Council Executive Meeting decided to redevelop large domestic trunk aircraft, so the aircraft selection was started, the general design unit was designated, foreign cooperation partners were selected, and feasibility reports were prepared. This feasibility report lasted for six years and was not reported until early 1992. The research and development project also evolved into Sino-US cooperation in production.

In November 1992, the State Council issued a document to develop a trunk aircraft of more than 15O seats, and finally implemented a cooperation with foreign countries to develop a 1O seat large regional aircraft ae1O. Against this background, the competent authorities proposed a three-step plan. The first step is to cooperate in manufacturing and assembly md8o/9o in China and the second step is to cooperate in the development of ae1O, which will be put into service for about 2O5 years. The third step is to design and manufacture 18O seats aircraft by itself, and it will be realized in 2O1O.

The first step of the three-step plan was that McDonald was merged by Boeing, and the McDonald assembly line in Shanghai was in a desperate situation. As a result, the materials worth tens of millions of yuan were originally planned to be used for the third aircraft 10 when they were preparing for the cooperation between Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory and McDonald. It is conceivable what the workers who proudly built their own large jetliner were feeling at this time.

The second step of the three-step plan was that European Airbus unilaterally broke the contract and was fooled by someone.

Last year, this three-step plan was completely failed, and the beautiful dream was hit twice. The achievements of China's aviation industry's independent intellectual property rights were still successfully developed twenty years ago, almost completely forgotten, and the Yun-1O prototype parked in the factory alone.

The direct loss of Yun1o dismounting is obvious. The aviation industry has retreated in the fifteen years of catching up in the research of large jet passenger aircraft. What is even more heartbreaking is that it has severely hit its morale and ambition to develop the high-tech industry and disband the team.

By developing the Y-1O aircraft, a scientific research and technical force has been accumulated and a lot of valuable practical experience has been accumulated. They could have shown their skills based on this and become the basic technical team for the development of large civil aviation aircraft. Just like the situation in the aerospace department today, unfortunately, the Y-1O dismounted and the country's decision-making problems in large aircraft decisions. This aviation technology team has not yet been given a stage for displaying its talents and ambitions. After fifteen years of hard work, the development team is facing the final loss today. After decades of exhibitions, the aviation industry with hundreds of thousands of employees, more than 20 enterprises, more than 20 aircraft and aviation motivation manufacturing enterprises, and more than 30 research institutes is facing an unprecedentedly severe situation of changing production of products, which is difficult to protect itself, no way out, laid off and diversion, and no wages.

"At present, Airbus has become a giant that challenges the monopoly of Boeing in the United States, but our Yun-1O has given up halfway. On the other hand, the launch vehicle we developed ourselves is transporting American satellites to the sky today, earning foreign exchange for the country, and becoming a symbol of national military prestige." The chief engineer of the Lingxi Provincial Aircraft Manufacturing Plant said to Fan Wubing with some pain, "Fifteen years after the Yun-1O died, in the sky of China, the main line aircraft have become all imported products, and the regional aircraft are also Yun-7 developed during the Cultural Revolution.

In terms of aircraft, dozens of Su-27s purchased from the dilapidated Russia support air defense. If you want to buy an early warning aircraft from Israel, you will stop because the United States glared. After the United States bombed our embassy in Yugoslavia, we suddenly realized that China's military strategic position in the world has been significantly weakened. In the face of these huge contrasts, we must think about the death of Yun1o, and why is this? Who should be responsible for the death of Yun1o and the further widening of the gap between my country's aviation industry and the world's advanced level?"

The conversation between Fan Wubing and the chief engineer made Fan Heng, who was also from a military-industrial enterprise, feel a little sad.

The phenomenon of the gap between the aviation industry and the world's advanced level has been widened again due to the premature death of the Chinese nation, and the same situation has occurred in many other industries. For example, in the first 30 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, my country has achieved achievements and progress beyond the reach of many diseases that seriously endanger people's health. In the next twenty years, many of these achievements and progress have long been unable to be maintained, and some have even retreated greatly, and a series of new and serious problems have arisen and are in a dilemma of helplessness.

In reality, there are too many issues that need to be explained and explained. The more you fight pornography, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you get, the more you want to give a clear explanation and explanation of the causes and responsibilities of the demise of the 1o?

The premature death of Yun1o, like some setbacks in other fields, casts a thick shadow on the Chinese people's grand ambitions at the advanced level of the world, the bright prospects of national rejuvenation, the ambition to stand on the forest of the world's nations, and the solemn promise to make greater contributions to mankind.

"It's time to make up your mind," Fan Wubing said to his father Fan Heng. "I think it's necessary to reopen the domestic large-scale aircraft manufacturing project, reintegrate the national aviation resources, and come up with a roadmap for self-sustaining domestic large-scale aircraft manufacturing as soon as possible."

"The money to be spent here is not a small amount-" Fan Heng said cautiously, "It is difficult to complete without a hundred or two hundred billion yuan."

"Money is really nothing-" Fan Wubing said with some slight urge, "What is money in this kind of thing?"

"Yes, what is money?" Fan Heng said with some emotion after hearing his son's words.
