Take Off My Aviation Era

Chapter 951: TRJ—700 regional airliner

This quota has surpassed the super large order for exporting special aerospace equipment and technology to Pakistan, creating a new history for Ascendas Group in export.

If this alone is nothing, the key is that Lin Guanghua did not make Ascendas pay any price while taking such a large order.

200 million US dollars is the cost of 120 WD-56ML turbofan engines and supporting special parts.

US$400 million is the purchase cost of 6 Raiden-120 long-endurance drones and 2 sets of special control equipment.

140 million US dollars is the price of 80 WD-48J high-power turboprop engines.

The US$65 million is the technical service fee for Ascendas Group to undertake the research and development of the Spey MK807 turbofan engine full digital electronic control system produced by Embraer.

US$1.2 billion is the total cost of Embraer’s introduction of the Raiden-120 long endurance UAV assembly line.

Coupled with the first $1 billion NB-233 3D printing equipment and technology upgrade costs.

Embraer's focus on Raiden-120 long-endurance drones and high-tech special equipment has brought more than US$2 billion in revenue to Ascendas Group.

As for the technology transfer of the Raiden-120 long-endurance UAV that Embraer wants to obtain, the technology transfer of the digital electronic control system for aircraft engines.

Zhuang Jianye glanced at the data on the fax and knew that Lin Guanghua had not given it the same.

Otherwise, why does Embraer have to purchase another 80 WD-48J high-power turboprop engines and pay 65 million US dollars for the technical service fee for the research and development of the Spey MK807 turbofan engine full power digital electronic control system?

Obviously, Lin Guanghua left the unimportant things to the Brazilians according to his request, and firmly held the real core in his hands.

After all, the key to the long-endurance UAV is the aircraft engine. If the fuel-saving technology of the aircraft engine is not adequate, the control technology is poor, and the manufacturing technology cannot keep up, how can the fuel efficiency be maximized? The potential of a drop of oil squeezed to an explosion?

Therefore, the Raiden-120 long-endurance UAV platform can be provided, it is nothing more than the TY-6 large UAV platform, but the core WD-48J high-power turboprop engine cannot be so arbitrary.

The same is true for the full-power digital electronic control system of aeroengines. The hardware such as servo motors and electronic control boxes are the Brazilians want to take, but the core control software, management algorithm and data processing do not need outsiders to worry about, it is the Ascendas Group that is reluctant to do it bring it on.

Just like 3D printing equipment, as long as NB-233 Brazilians have money and want how much they want, Ascendas Group has opened up the supply; but the more advanced NB-255 will not work, because Ascendas Group also counts on this advanced equipment to maintain its own advantages. As for when it will be available for sale, it is estimated that it will take until the third-generation product NB-277 comes out.

In Shangyanshang, the main business of Ascendas Group is after all aerospace manufacturing, not a manufacturer of special equipment. As an industry that is prone to form a high degree of monopoly, even partners may become terrible competitors in the future. It is the cruelty among aerospace manufacturers.

In line with the inevitable end of harm and defense, Zhuang Jianye will naturally maintain its advantages. Even if it is not comparable to giants such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Airbus, it must be in Bombardier and Indonesian National Airlines. Brazil's aerospace has gained its own technological advantages in small players like Brazil Aerospace.

No way, the dark forest law is like this. If you don't want to die unclearly in the future, you have to expand your advantage.

Of course, the expansion of advantages must be supported by materials, and it must make money. The US$2 billion long-endurance drone and special equipment are part of it. The established cooperation with Embraer is of course the bulk of the revenue of the Ascendas Group.

A full 3.8 billion US dollars.

Among them, 2.8 billion US dollars is the production cost of important aircraft components such as the ERJ-140 series of regional passenger aircraft wing, central wing box, and four main structure cabin segments produced by Ascendas Group in the next two years.

The remaining US$1 billion is the latest cooperation project between Ascendas Group and Embraer, a 70-90 seat medium-sized regional airliner project.

The internal code name of Ascendas Group is TRJ-700 regional passenger aircraft project.

The official external name is ERJ-170 series regional passenger aircraft.

The project is jointly borne by the two parties for research and development costs, with a total investment of US$5.2 billion. According to a 50% allocation ratio, Brazil Aerospace and Ascendas Group will each contribute US$2.6 billion.

As for the research and development, it is the same as the ERJ-140 series of regional airliners. Ascendas Group takes the lead in the design, overall structure demonstration, and verification machine manufacturing.

Embraer is responsible for the quality control, structural optimization, static testing and verification flight tests of each part of the aircraft.

Based on the successful experience of the ERJ-140 series of regional airliners, Ascendas and Embraer have placed higher expectations on the TRJ-700 regional airliner project.

Regardless of other things, the use of composite materials alone shows that the ambitions of the two companies are not generally large, because according to the preliminary plan, the TRJ-700 regional passenger aircraft project will be 8% composite materials from the previous TRJ-500 regional passenger aircraft project. , Increased to 18%.

A full 10 percentage point increase is not negligible for a civil aircraft.

Because of this, the TRJ-700 regional airliner will become the 35-ton regional airliner with the highest flying altitude, fastest flight speed, and longest range.

The initial plan is to complete the design work by the end of 1997; produce the first prototype in mid-1998, and start ground testing; the first flight around 2000, strive to obtain the airworthiness certificate and put it into operation by 2002.

To this end, Ascendas and Brazil Aerospace are expected to launch 3 models:

Basic model, 68 seats, take-off weight 32 tons, maximum range 2800 kilometers~lightnovelpub.net~ Extended range, 74 seats, take-off weight 35 tons, maximum range 4800 kilometers.

Extended type, 86 seats, take-off weight 40 tons, maximum range 4800 kilometers.

Based on these three models, various types of luxury upgraded business jets, government jets, maritime patrol aircraft, small early warning aircraft, electronic reconnaissance aircraft and aerial tankers will be launched.

It can be said that the TRJ-700 regional airliner is a crucial project for the two companies of Ascendas Group and Embraer in the 21st century. Once successful, it will not only bring unimaginable profits to the two companies, but also may rewrite the world's regional airliner industry. pattern.

Because of this, the two companies are going all out. This can be seen from Brazil's freely paying $1 billion to Ascendas Group for preliminary research and development.

Paradoxically, however, Brazil’s US$1 billion should logically be included in R&D investment, but Lin Guanghua’s fax to Zhuang Jianye was marked as revenue.

Did Lin Guanghua make a mistake?

Of course not, but because Ascendas Group has made the follow-up models of the ERJ-140 series of regional airliners in the past few years, how could it continue to use the name TRJ-700?

To put it bluntly, it is the continuation of the original Costin plan!

You know, according to the "Costin" plan formulated by Ascendas Group that year, at the beginning of the 21st century, a regional airliner with more than 70 seats will be launched. Therefore, Ascendas Group has not been idle in recent years. Regardless of whether there are Brazilians or not, Ascendas Group is always Stick to your established plan.

As a result, at this time, the Brazilian said, let’s take the money to do it together. If you don’t agree to such a good thing, it would be a fool.
