Chapter 178 An epoch-making airliner (3)
For example, there are always good people and bad people on Shijiè, and people who engage in political professions are also divided into politicians and politicians.
It was the strong push of a large number of visionary politicians such as French President Charles de Gaulle and Federal German Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroeder (Note 1) that Airbus was established in the late 1960s and officially started operating in the early 1970s, taking the first step to becoming the overlord of the sky.
However, due to various historical and realistic reasons, Airbus before the merger of Boeing and McDonald was not a complete company with strong execution capabilities, but adopted an organizational structure similar to industry associations and "novel chapters."
This organizational structure caused the operation of Airbus to not be smooth. When member companies do their own things, it is common to have various disputes. The British Empire, known as the European continent's shit, even withdrew from Airbus for a while. However, after the A320 sale, the British ran back with shamelessness.
When Airbus' first product, the a300 wide-body aircraft, was widely recognized by airlines, there was a serious conflict between the Federal Republic of Germany and France on Airbus' next development plan.
The Federal Republic of Germany was determined to develop large four-engine ultra-long-range passenger aircraft based on the A300, trying to restore Germany's leadership in the global aviation industry at that time, while France was more realistic, and insisted on developing the A320 with the same passenger capacity as the Boeing 737. Taking advantage of Boeing's arrogance and unintentional ambition at that time, it entered the field of short-distance narrow-body passenger aircraft, which was not very difficult and profitable. As a result, the two countries quarreled on this issue, which almost made the Airbus at that time split.
Finally, France and Britain, which had a leadership position in Airbus, finally forced the Federal Republic of Germany to accept the proposal proposed by Ziji to develop the A320 narrow-body passenger aircraft.
In July 1979, Airbus announced the a320 passenger aircraft plan, and officially launched the development plan in March 1982. It can be equipped with two engines: cfm565 or v2500. It took the first flight in February 1987. It received an airworthiness certificate in February 1988 and delivered to its first user, Air France, in March 1988.
As a joint development member of the a320 passenger plane, Federal Germany has more than 37% of the equity interest in the a320 project. However, Lufthansa, the largest airline in Europe, is not even the starting user of the a320. This shows how much resentment was in Federal Germany at that time.
Due to the good reputation of the A300 series wide-body passenger aircraft for advertising and the extremely advanced a320 passenger aircraft platform, the sales of the A320 were smooth. After the first a320 was delivered in 1988, Airbus received more than 350 a320 orders, which means that the a320 project has surpassed the breakeven point of the project.
Although France, after the war, Germany signed a series of political and economic agreements, prompting the two countries to lose the burden of war and open up a new history. However, the hundreds of years of grudges between the two nations cannot be settled by a single document.
Faced with such a rare opportunity to slap in the face, the French media was as excited as if they were bloody. Since the order for Airbus A320 was close to the breakeven point, sarcasm has been cut off. France's "Le Figaro" even claimed that after the RI, the Federal Republic of Germany would only need to build the tail and fuselage of the aircraft, and it would be better not to intervene in the future.
How could the Federal German media just get beaten and not fight back? Although they are very responsible for the A320 project, the Federal German media turned the French Concorde supersonic aircraft out.
The Federal German Biography Biography once wrote in an extremely sarcastic tone that the most commendable business ability of the French is to sell the Concorde supersonic aircraft in one franc, which looks a bit cheaper. Oh, sorry, one pound should be added.
The Concorde supersonic passenger aircraft jointly developed by Britain and France is a great engineering miracle and an economic loss black hole. Britain and France were pitted by this project. After the oil crisis, Méiyou Airlines was willing to operate the Concorde supersonic passenger aircraft. Helplessly, Britain and France had to sell it to their respective national airlines Air France and British Airways at a price of one franc and one pound.
This is definitely the deepest scar of the aviation industry of Britain and France. If it weren't for Britain and France, they had spent too much resources on Concorde supersonic aircraft, and Boeing and McDonald would never have grown into shijiè-level aviation companies so easily. The pattern of the global aviation industry is hard to say.
At that time, Liang Yuan, who had entered the aviation industry, laughed at the news of "Photo" and was worthy of being the German nation that launched two wars. It was indeed a natural material that easily pulled the British into the water.
Although the media in the two countries were in chaos, the Federal Republic of Germany could not watch the French stutter. As early as the beginning of 1988, the Federal Republic of Germany proposed to add a second A320 passenger aircraft production line in Hamburg. How many jobs can be found in the country and thus affect the election major event, France did not dare to agree to it, and without thinking, it flatly rejected the Federal Republic of Germany's proposal.
In the past two years, this a320 production line has been the focus of the struggles in the diplomatic, media and aviation industries of France and the Federal Republic of Germany.
In fact, if Liang Yuan had not disturbed it, it was not until the late 1990s that Boeing merged with McDonald, which made the entire European civil aviation industry realize that if it did not join forces to keep warm, it would be dangerous to be defeated by Boeing, and Hamburg's second A320 production line was truly established.
Now that Boeing has many years left before the merger of McDonald, Federal Germany realized that Ziji could not get more on the A320 project, so it was very clear to take some thoughts.
At this time, the A320, which carries 164 passengers, has just been delivered for more than half a year, and the A319, which carries 134 passengers, and the A318, which carries 117 passengers, are even more intimate.
However, as one of the Airbus partners, the Federal Republic of Germany was not able to disrupt the European consensus and blatantly developed a narrow-body trunk passenger aircraft. As a result, the mpc75 was under the guise of branch lines and playing with the trunk lines, the best trunk for the Federal Republic of Germany.
If the Federal Republic of Germany wants to develop a real regional passenger aircraft, it will cost 400 million US dollars to engage in the two regional aviation giants that year, the CRJ series of Bombardier Canada and the Erj series of Brazil Industrial Corporation, the 2+2 seat layout and tail-hanging engine suspension method are the best choices to save development costs.
In addition to Liang Yuan, who looked at the entire era, there will be no longer any professional or non-professional persons on this planet who can straighten out all these bad accounts. Holding back his smile, Liang Yuan gently turned the documents in his hand one page.
The next section is the chapter introducing mpc75 noise. Liang Yuan took a rough look and found that all indicators were lower than the listed competitors, and they were all under the third-stage noise standard required by Faa. The projection noise similar to passenger aircraft even exceeded the fourth-stage standard, which means that even if the noise reduction level of mpc75 is stagnant now, it can be maintained until after 2015 in terms of noise.
However, looking at the data of the Boeing 737500 and McDonnell 87 in the model, Liang Yuan confirmed the Federal Republic of Germany's thoughts. If the Federal Republic of Germany enters the trunk narrow-body passenger plane, how could it be used to deliberately pull these two big guys with a take-off weight of more than 60 tons?
Noise is not the point, as long as it is qualified, Liang Yuan did not carefully read the detailed comparison data of the mpc75 and Boeing 737500, McDonnell 87 and other passenger planes, and turned another page directly.
A schematic diagram of an aircraft that followed the boarding bridge and the cargo transport belt appeared in front of Liang Yuan, which seemed to be the content of the passenger plane passing through the station.
For airlines, this data is a very critical indicator for choosing aircraft. The shorter flight of the aircraft means that there are more aircraft in the sky, and the more aircraft in the sky, it means that the airline makes money. Therefore, a shorter flight of the aircraft means that the aircraft has a higher utilization rate and airlines have more profits.
Like the profitable players in the later air transport industry, Southwest Airlines and Ryanair, the European airliner had a maximum of 1,012 hours of flights in the sky, while Air China, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines could only make 9 hours.
Close to the bridge, open the door, remove passengers, unload luggage or cargo, clear and repair, replenish the shelves, replenish oil and water, load luggage or cargo, new passengers board the plane, close the door and prepare for takeoff for 25 minutes.
At the bottom of the data, it is marked that the md87 series takes 5060 minutes and the Boeing 737500 series takes 4050 minutes. If this thing is really made, it will be the favorite of airlines.
Liang Yuan remembers that he had heard from the stewardess of HNA in his previous life that the fastest record of passing the Boeing 737 series passenger planes in the Republic was set by China Southern Airlines using the 737800 model, which took 42 minutes.
Unfortunately, in the 1980s, the civil aviation system that understood the aircraft economy was almost useless in the Republic's aviation industry. Engineers who had the right to introduce passenger aircraft or inspect passenger aircraft projects basically learned from the Soviet Union or switched from the military aircraft field. The lack of concept of the market economy eventually led to the extremely excellent passenger aircraft of mpc75 passing by the Republic.
Liang Yuan sighed and continued to flip through the information in his hand.
The next part is Liang Yuan's single-engine cruise, entry speed, tire pressure to runway, and detailed engine energy indicators at various temperatures.
Considering the seriousness of airworthiness certification in the United States and Europe, Liang Yuan has no need to worry about, and the Germans should not encounter any difficulties in this regard.
