Chapter 852 Dominance

Lin Johnson waved his hand and said to Lu Yunmo: "It doesn't matter. The design should be farther away. You can't just see the current market. If other companies design aircraft large, then we are lagging behind. Medium and large passenger planes are a development trend!"

Schmiede nodded and said, "I agree with Lin Johnson's statement very much. Our board of directors thinks so too!"

Lu Yunmo really hesitated. There are already trunk planes like the McDonnell-82 in China. If the Germans' real intention of mpc-75 is also to go to the trunk plane, then this project is likely to be killed by the Ministry of Aviation Industry.

This kind of dispute is never allowed in China now. The previous Y-10, J-8 and J-9, Turbofan 6 and SB, and how many aviation industry projects were dismissed because of this kind of thing. The McDonnell-82 must not have conflicts with the MPC-75. You must inform Lin Johnson about the seriousness of the matter!

Lin Johnson continued to look at the drawings and found that the mpc75-100 was low-density layout 82 seats and 104 seats with high-density layout. He remembered the Arj21-700 branch passenger aircraft of COMAC in his previous life, with a low-density layout of 78 seats and a high-density layout of 90 seats.

The Madonnaut-82 trunk aircraft assembled in China now has a maximum passenger number of 147 seats. The mpc75-200 model on the drawings has 107 seats and 134 seats in high density. It can also increase the amplification aircraft and become a real trunk aircraft.

"In actual operations, only airlines that provide cheap services often adopt high-density configurations, but no matter which configuration, the mpc75 adopts a 32-seat layout, which makes passengers feel good.

This is because our mpc75 passenger plane uses a cabin width of 125 inches (317.5cm), with an average width of up to 18.67 inches per seat."

Then he took two mainstream models, saying, "The seat widths of the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 economy class are 18 inches and 17.3 inches respectively, which are not as comfortable as the MPC75.

In addition to the wide seats, the aisle of the mpc75 passenger aircraft adopts a 20-inch width design, which is larger than the 19-inch width of the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737. In addition to creating a wider visual effect, the wide aisle will also reduce the collision of trolley cases for passengers on and off the plane, speed up passenger boarding and off the plane, and reduce the passengers' crossing time!"

Lin Johnson and Lu Yunmo looked at each other, and saw the shock of each other in their surprised eyes.

As a representative of AVIC, Lu Yunmo understands the world's advanced aircraft technology, and he also pays much attention to civil aircraft. Moreover, when McDonald's company entered China, AVIC put a lot of effort into civil aircraft.

From these drawing data, both of them saw that the Germans' mpc75 is not just a medium-sized passenger aircraft. The single indicators of passenger aircraft exceed those of the same type of aircraft. If they don't want to build large aircraft, they will be deviled. The Germans' thoughts have been written on the drawings!

Lin Johnson said: "It seems that the mpc75 is a passenger aircraft that is larger than the McDonald 82. The only factor that restricts the passenger capacity of mpc75 is that the passenger aircraft is not long enough!"

"Yes, mbb is very thoughtful. Mr. Lin, you have to think clearly. This project must require a lot of funds!" Lu Yunmo said excitedly, and at the same time clicked on Lin Johnson.

Chen Yao was very confused and asked: "Johnson & Johnson, is this aircraft very advanced?"

Lin Johnson glanced at Lu Yunmo, then nodded to Chen Yao and said, "The Germans are very thoughtful. They want to build a large aircraft. The data of this aircraft looks very beautiful!"

"Oh, then what is a big plane?" Chen Yao asked.

Lin Johnson said: "The big plane is big, it is like a building in front of you!"

"Ah?" Chen Yao was surprised, how could such a large plane be built.

Schmidt and several others finished speaking and continued: "Our mpc75-100 has a length of 28.5 meters, a wingspan of 29.7 meters, and a height of 10.2 meters. The engine choices include the B-turbofan engine jointly operated by BMW and Rolls-Royce, the GMA3014 vortex engine of the United States, the PW/Mturtf-180 of Daimler-Benz in Germany, the Garrett TF742 of the United States, and the CFM-M1 of France."

Lin Johnson asked: "These engines are still on paper, right?"

Schmidt said: "Yes, but these companies have great strength, and it is not difficult to develop a turbofan engine for mpc75 to choose from!"

"It's just a matter of time, you can keep talking." Lin Johnson said.

Schmidt took out a drawing and information. "We also did accurate calculations for ground service. The complete main base maintenance is controlled within 25 minutes, including the aircraft approaching the bridge to open the door, disembarking passengers, unloading luggage and cargo, clearing and maintenance, replenishing shelves, replenishing oil and water, loading luggage and cargo, new passengers board the plane, and closing the door for 25 minutes to take off. Our design ensures the most effective turnover rate, and we can maximize the reduction of operating costs. Compared with the md87 series, it takes 50-60 minutes, and the Boeing 737-500 series takes 40-50 minutes to see. Our mpc75 will definitely be welcomed by various airlines!"

"Well, I hope so. Although this is the level that only German professional technology can achieve, just like the ideal fuel consumption rate given by automobile manufacturers, the 25-minute ground service time is really amazing!"

Lin Johnson nodded, and had no objection to the Germans' thoughtful ideas on ground maintenance. Now Boeing and Airbus are both doing things on ground service. Boeing is famous for its good maintenance and low cost. If you want to compete with these mature mainstream aircraft, you must have the same characteristics of good maintenance.

At first he thought the Germans designed a plane with a tail hoist layout, but when he saw the model and drawings, he found that this one was also a wing hoist.

At this time, Lu Yunmo said: "Can this kind of passenger aircraft be changed to a tail crane? The McDonnell 82 that we assembled in China is also a tail crane. This engine layout is not only low noise, but also has more stable flight. Have you ever considered such a layout?"

Schmidt said: "The tail hoist does have the characteristics you mentioned, but we consider that the wing hoist passenger plane is the mainstream now, and it saves time in maintenance. If China does have demand, we can redesign the tail hoist model."

"That's good!" Lu Yunmo nodded.

But Lin Johnson waved his hand and said to the two: "The design of this aircraft is very good now. There is no need to do a tail hanging anymore. After all, the wing hanging is the mainstream!"

"This, then okay!" Although Lu Yunmo still had some ideas, it might be difficult to change Lin Qiangsheng's attitude. In fact, he just wanted to ask, and he was not very persistent in the tail hanging or the wing hanging. He just considered that the McDonnell 82 is being assembled in China. If there are some common points in common, it can be effectively combined and will be helpful to Chinese aircraft designers. It will be much easier to develop this model by yourself after learning from the Germans.

Schmidt took another drawing and material book, marked "Composite Materials Application". He said to the two: "We used composite materials on the landing gear doors and floors of the mpc75. The wings, vertical tails, hatch doors and nose fairings have also been replaced by composite materials on a large area. There are also elevators, rudders and passenger aircraft with smaller stress components. The composite materials of our entire aircraft account for 20% of the total weight. Even if we enter the new century, mpc75 is still the leader in civil passenger aircraft technology!"

Lu Yunmo was very shocked: "At present, the composite materials of mainstream passenger aircraft in the world account for about 5% of the total weight. For example, Boeing 737, does your mpc75 actually have a weight ratio of 20%?"

Lin Johnson asked: "Is this level very advanced?"

Lu Yunmo: "As far as I know, the application of composite materials also represents the advanced technology level of passenger aircraft. The usage ratio exceeds 15% of the total weight. It is considered to be the ranks of advanced aircraft. The ratio of 20% is probably the highest!"

Schmidt Feature Head: "Yes, we have the ability to reach 20% composite ratio, there is no doubt about it!"

Lin Johnson laughed and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, the development of civil passenger aircraft must be aimed at the future market and set the technical indicators more advanced. There is nothing wrong with it."

After basically introducing the drawings and materials on the table, Lu Yunmo immediately asked Schmidt: "Can we take these materials away?"

Schmidt said apologetically: "You can watch it here, but taking it away is not allowed, nor is it allowed to take photos!"

Lu Yunmo said: "Please provide a phone number, and we need some time to study these materials, right here!"

Schmilit said, "Okay, leave all the drawings and materials for you, there is no problem!"

Schmidt did what he said, and a phone was immediately pulled in. Lu Yunmo took out a pen and a book and recorded the data on the drawings and materials, but Schmidt did not stop him.

Lu Yunmo called the country. It is now past 10 am in Germany, and it is already four or five pm in China.

The data on the data were reported to the country by cross-border telephone number by Lu Yunmo, and then domestic engineers were discussing it with him.

Perhaps Lin Johnson hadn't realized the level of these technologies just now, but with Lu Yunmo's communication with the country, he immediately understood what kind of advanced aircraft the mpc75 was.

Lin Johnson went out and found Schmidt who was waiting outside: "Schmidt, I decided that I want to be the first user of mpc75. I want to order one as a business jet. When will you build it?"

Schmidt had no time to react, and Lin Johnson's escape made him even more shocked: "What, Mr. Lin, do you want to order a mpc75 now?"

Lin Johnson said seriously: "Yes, I have been hesitating whether to buy a business jet, but I think none of the ones on the market I like, so I just like mpc75, which is big enough!"

Chen Yao also walked out of the conference room and asked, "Johnson, haven't they made it yet!"

Schmidt also said: "Lin Johnson, mpc75 is only available on paper now. If you really decide to cooperate with us, then I must inform you that if you want to complete the research and development and manufacturing of mpc75, we calculated that the entire project would need to invest 1.2 to 1.4 billion US dollars!"

"Ah, so much!" Chen Yao covered her mouth and said in surprise.

"The amount of funds is similar to what we expected, but now, alas," Lu Yunmo also walked out of the conference room. He looked at Lin Qiangsheng hesitantly, and wanted to speak but stopped.

Lin Johnson nodded to the two of them, and then said to Schmidt: "I can mobilize $700 million, are you responsible for raising your other half?"

Schmidt showed a surprise expression and immediately said: "Yes, the German government will give us a low-interest loan, and we will have no problem with the remaining R&D funds!"

Lu Yunmo looked at Lin Qiangsheng in surprise, unable to believe that this kid got so much US dollars, this is 700 million!

But Schmidt continued: "We divide this grand plan of 10 years into three steps: the first step is a two-year market research and plan feasibility study; the second step is a three-year pre-development stage; the third step is a five-year aircraft development stage. The mpc75 passenger plane is expected to fly into the blue sky in 1994, and then the flight test will take two years!"

"Ten-year plan, a whole generation!" Lin Johnson nodded and pondered for a long time.

Schmidt stared at the look on his face, while Lu Yunmo and Chen Yao both looked at him nervously. The former was afraid that Lin Johnson would make some ridiculous decisions without considering it, while Chen Yao was just nervous for the sake of being nervous. The girl still didn't know what the 1.4 billion US dollar project was.

At this moment, Lin Johnson suddenly thought of something, and felt that it was very important to his Dongxing Group.

His company is foreign-funded, and Dongxing can completely put aside domestic AVIC technology and the Ministry of Aviation to do it by itself.

He assembles and manufactures aircraft in China. Will the Chinese leaders not welcome them? No matter what his units' attitudes are, he doesn't care!

Thinking of this, Lin Johnson almost burst out laughing and watched Schmidt stretch out his hand to hold him: "Schmidt, we can set up a joint venture now, each with 50% of the shares!"

Schmidt asked in confusion: "Mr. Lin, do you promise to pay half of the R&D expenses? This is a decision of 700 million US dollars!"

Lin Johnson said: "Most of my funds have been invested in the Japanese stock market and Japanese real estate, but I can still withdraw 700 million US dollars. I can issue you an asset certificate later."

Schmidt and Lin Johnson shook hands heavily and said, "Okay, we can talk about the joint venture now!"

The two looked at each other and laughed, but Lu Yunmo shouted in surprise: "Mr. Lin, how can you make your decision privately? Our AVIC and the West Flighters have not arrived in Germany yet!"

Lin Johnson turned to look at Lu Yunmo and said indifferently: "Mr. Lu, when they come, they will participate in the project directly. At that time, I will entrust AVIC and Xi'an Aircraft to participate in the mpc75 plan."

Lu Yunmo looked at Lin Qiangsheng in surprise, as if the other party’s thoughts were extremely ridiculous: “But you can’t sign a contract now, AVIC and West Flight are the mainstays!”

Lin Johnson looked at him in surprise and asked, "You are the leader, who will pay for it? As far as I know, the Ministry of Aviation Industry has now used most of its financial resources to the McDonnell-82 project. As the direct management superior unit of AVIC, will they pay for the MPC75 project?"

"This is us" Lu Yunmo was shocked and speechless. He was sure that the Ministry of Aviation Industry would never pay the money.

Lin Qiangsheng suddenly looked at Lu Yunmo with serious eyes and said without compromise: "Of course, I will be the one who will decide on my investment in this project!" (To be continued.)
