193. International Aero Engine Corporation’S Fear, Joint Strangulation!
193. International Aero Engine Corporation’S Fear, Joint Strangulation!
The next few tests,
Whether it is noise, fuel consumption, thrust-to-weight ratio, safety or stability.
Yangtze River No. 1 always won an overwhelming victory with absolute advantage.
Especially the noise.
Actual measurements show that the noise of Yangtze River 1 is 65% lower than that of LEAP-CA!
"Longguo's new engine is really outstanding, especially the noise control level, which is simply beyond my imagination."
"A large part of the reason that affects the comfort of an airplane is the noise of the engine. This Yangtze River No. 1 can simply improve the comfort of passengers to a new level! It completely changes the experience of flying."
"What I hate most is the roar of airplane engines. It often causes tinnitus when flying. For this reason, I have to buy a first-class cabin far away from the engine.
What makes airlines even more crazy is the fuel-saving ability of Yangtze River 1.
Fuel consumption is 30% lower than that of LEAP-CA!
You know, the thrust of Yangtze River 10 is twice that of LEAP-CA!
Reduce fuel consumption by 30% and achieve twice the thrust! What does this mean?
This means that the operating cost of Yangtze River-1 is less than half that of LEAP-CA!
Can save half the fuel for airlines!
The biggest cost for airlines is fuel!
There is such an era-defining aviation engine. All major airlines will be crazy to buy engines equipped with Yangtze River One!
You must know that the LEAP engine originally relied on its advantages of low fuel consumption and low operating costs to win the favor of all airlines around the world and dominate the narrow-body passenger aircraft engine market.
Boeing Co., Ltd. previously lost numerous orders due to the inability to install LEAP engines on its B737 passenger aircraft, and was beaten by AIRbus's A320NEO in terms of operating costs.
In the end, they panicked and installed a LEAP engine on the B737 at all costs, creating the monster B737MAX, which ultimately led to the tragedy of serial crashes.
Now...a new aero engine has appeared that kills the LEAP engine instantly.
The aviation industry around the world is about to undergo another major reshuffle.
The AIRBUS executive who had been observing and remaining silent could not sit still at this moment.
He said to his assistant: "After the bidding is over, no matter what the result is, contact the person in charge of Longguo Aviation 501 Research Institute. We want to cooperate with them. No matter what others do, our new AIRBUS aircraft must be equipped with this engine!"
"But we have signed exclusive cooperation agreements with CFM and Rolls-Royce...will we do this?"
"Ignore what they think, it is a good thing for us that one more aero-engine manufacturer joins the competition. We can not buy or only buy a few Dragon Kingdom aero engines, but we must provide our customers with such a choice !”
On the other side, BOEING's executives also looked ugly.
Unlike AIRBUS, BOEING has not had a good relationship with major airlines in Dragon Kingdom recently.
Because of the tense relationship between Yingjiang and Longguo, BOEING was also dragged down. It has been a long time since Longguo bought aircraft in large quantities from BOEING.
On the contrary, Longguo has just signed an aircraft purchase contract worth several hundred billion yuan with AIRBUS.
This means that even if BOEING wants to buy this Longguo Yangtze No. 1 engine, it cannot compete with Longguo Commercial Aircraft and AIRBUS.
In other words, Longguo may not sell it to itself, and may get stuck in its neck.
If there is another epoch-making aviation engine on the market, but BOEING's aircraft cannot be used...
Then the future market will not be good.
The lessons of the B737MAX are still before our eyes.
Do you want to do it again?
At the same time, people from CFM, Rolls-Royce, and GE had very exciting expressions.
Their expressions were full of shock, disbelief, anger and hatred.
"The ground test scores have come out, and Longguo Commercial Aircraft Co., Ltd. is far ahead. Even if they don't score a single point in the air test, we can't compete with them at all... What should we do next?"
CFM executives gritted their teeth and said: "Get the aircraft ready and the air tests continue! We are going to beat them in the air tests."
"Does this really make sense? We're going to lose this bid."
"We have to take a longer-term view and don't just focus on this bidding. In the next period of time, we will face the largest competitor in history, and we must prepare in advance!" CFM executives said.
"what do you mean?"
"We want everyone in the world to have doubts and distrust in Longguo's aeroengine! How can an aeroengine that does not even dare to conduct air tests ensure the safety of passengers?"
"So we have to perform well in the air test and defeat Longguo's Yangtze-1. Then let the media publish some articles."
"Even if we cannot win this bid, we must delay the launch of Yangtze River Yichuan as much as possible. Plant a seed of doubt in the hearts of everyone around the world.
"The Yangtze-1 aircraft engine has not been tested in the air. This sentence must be repeated, repeated, and repeated by the media."
CFM's strategy is also very simple.
It's a war of public opinion.
Bidding can be lost.
Public opinion cannot lose.
They plan to use the Yangtze River-1 as an entry point after it has just been successfully developed and there is no supporting aircraft for aerial testing. Create a storm of doubtful public opinion.
Buy more time for the LEAP engine.
CFM quickly reached a tacit understanding with Rolls-Royce, GE, and Pratt & Whitney.
These competing aero-engine companies are now standing in the same trench.
There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Now, their products are facing the most powerful competitor in history - the Yangtze No. 1 aircraft engine of Longguo Aviation 501 Research Institute.
The top brass at these companies know this.
As long as Yangtze River No. 1 is successfully launched and the production capacity is sufficient...
There will be no market for their products.
Double the thrust, reduce noise by 65%, and reduce fuel consumption by 30%.
There is no way this can compete!
With a common enemy, these international aviation engine giants united instantly.
They want to strangle the newly born generation-changing engine Yangtze River One!
The AIRBUS330NEO aircraft equipped with Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engine completed aerial testing.
BOEING737 equipped with PW1000G engine of Puhui Company completed the air test.
The AIRBUS330NEO aircraft equipped with CFM's LEAP-CA engine completed aerial testing.
Only Yangtze One is left.
Everyone present knew that the Yangtze River-1 was developed only a few months ago, and there was no matching passenger aircraft for air testing.
Although Yangtze-1’s air test score was zero.
But the overall score is still far ahead...
There is no doubt that the winner of this bidding for Longguo Commercial Aircraft's new aeroengine for large aircraft is the Yangtze River No. 1 engine from the Aviation 501 Research Institute.
But everyone felt strange in their hearts.
Let an engine that had not been air-tested win the bid...
Why do you feel so uneasy?
Song Wenhao, General Manager of Longguo Commercial Aircraft, let out a long sigh of relief. (Well done) The bidding process is finally over.
The whole process can be said to be very fair, even slightly biased in favor of foreign aerospace engine giants such as Rolls-Royce and General GE.
But Han Yue and the Aviation 501 Research Institute are so impressive. Even without aerial test scores, we still won!
".~ Next, Aviation 501 Research Institute, will we still conduct aerial tests?"
Song Wenhao already had the answer in his heart.
But this process must be completed.
Everyone on site also knew that Aviation 501 Research Institute would not conduct aerial testing of the Claw.
There is also no need for air testing.
The crushing victory in previous ground tests was enough for Yangtze River One to win this bid.
This sentence is just to complete the process.
Next, it’s time to announce that Yangtze River No. 1 has won the bid, right?
Fang Yingrui stood up and said calmly: "The Yangtze River No. 1, the product of our Aviation Institute 501 bid, will be tested in the air next. Let the experts judge it!"
Everyone at the scene was shocked.
Are you still going to conduct in-flight testing?
Do you have a matching aircraft? Do you just test it?
Besides, you have already won, so why bother?
