  Chapter 804 Xinzhou 700

  The "spy photos" of the new aircraft were exposed on the Internet in the afternoon of the same day. In the news at 7 o'clock in the evening of the same day, it focused on the news about Kunpeng, the latest large military transport aircraft developed by Xinghai Xifei.

   There are not many specific announcements, that is to say, Huaguo's new generation of large military transport aircraft officially started test flight today.

  In the news screen, it is the shot of Kunpeng rushing from the ground to the sky.

   Quite handsome and shocking.

  The news is very concise, and it is announced that the Kunpeng large-scale military transport aircraft is powered by 4 Fuxing Power Brute engines.

  The data of aircraft height, wingspan, and captain are announced.

   As for other data?

No!

   Then the host used a very flat tone, as if announcing a small matter: "The development of the Kunpeng large-scale military transport aircraft is the need of national defense and economic construction."

  The entire news story is not long, the information released is very little, and the host's words are only a few sentences.

  But when the news was reported, the whole world was shocked!

  While surprised, he was also a little skeptical.

  Especially in Western countries, they feel that Huaguo is simply playing tricks and defrauding funds.

   This point is all left over from their play.

  Actually, this news seems to have a great impact. For most people, they don't pay attention to it at all.

  After seeing Kunpeng’s first flight, Han Songlin didn’t say he would leave immediately.

  He and the military are talking about the procurement of Kunpeng.

  But facing Xinghai Xifei's quotation of 798.6 million yuan, Liu Hongcheng and his party all expressed that they could not accept it.

   Now the annual military expenditure is only more than 150 billion, but the number of troops is 3 million!

   On average, for each person, the annual expenditure per person is only 50,000 yuan.

  Accounts definitely cannot be calculated in this way, all kinds of equipment consumption and maintenance require money.

   In addition, you have to purchase other equipment.

  150 billion a year is really stretched.

   Faced with Kunpeng's offer of 798.6 million yuan, the military really can't afford it at this time.

  Finally, the military has gritted its teeth and ordered four Kunpengs, and even received a deposit of 500 million.

  The purpose of doing this is very simple.

   I'm afraid Xinghai Xifei won't be able to make any money, so I'll let him down.

  Xinghai Xifei is not like other military enterprises. Xinghai Xifei has to be responsible for its own profits and losses.

  If Xinghai Xifei puts all its energy on civilian airliners in order to make money, then it won't delay things.

  Xinghai Xifei is engaged in civil airliner?

  Yes, Xinghai XAC is indeed developing civil airliners.

   The first thing to do was a small regional airliner, the MA 60 known as the "air tractor"!

   MA 60 is derived from the Y-7, which is designed and derived from the An-24 aircraft.

  Although the MA60 aircraft is designed, produced and tested in accordance with the China Civil Aviation Airworthiness Regulations CCAR-25 (the first standard in line with international standards). But the polar bear pedigree of this plane is too strong.

   Anyway, North Russia's aviation products are rough, unrefined and unreliable.

   MA60 also inherits these.

  According to history, MA 60 will be exported to third world countries. These countries are not reliable in terms of aircraft maintenance level.

  It is simply impossible for them to maintain the aircraft properly.

   MA 60 needs good maintenance (I understand the reason!), and these countries cannot provide you with good maintenance, and the accident rate of MA 60 aircraft in the world remains high.

  After Xinghai Xifei was established, it was not very interested in the MA 60, a small regional aircraft that can only seat more than 50 people.

  Although the MA60 aircraft has an airworthiness certificate!

  At the beginning, Xinghai Xifei focused most of his energy on the localization of Fat Girl.

   As for other things, it really doesn't matter.

   Then XAC was merged into Xinghai XAC as a whole, and the issue of civilian regional airliners was brought up again.

   In March 2002, Xinghai Xifei submitted an application to the headquarters of Xinghai Group to study a new type of civil regional airliner.

  As for why Xinghai Xifei needs to apply to Xinghai Group to establish a research project?

  It's a very simple matter, because Xinghai Xifei seems to be huge, but it has always been supported by Xinghai Group in terms of funds.

   Don’t report to the group, where is the research and development funds coming from!

  Han Songlin subconsciously rejected Xinghai Xifei’s proposal to develop a regional small airliner at the beginning.

  What is the meaning of this small airliner? If you want to do it, you can make a trunk airliner!

  At least the kind of medium-sized regional airliner, the kind that carries Bailai passengers.

  The Xinzhou R&D team of Xinghai Xifei initially hoped to carry out improved research and development on the basis of the Xinzhou 60, and create a Xinzhou 600.

   MA60 has too many problems, so it is natural to improve it.

  But things changed here with Han Songlin.

   Directly ask if you can develop a medium-sized regional airliner!

  This question is really difficult to answer.

  Because the Xinzhou R&D team really couldn’t develop it.

   There are two situations in which Xinghai Xifei can participate in R&D projects. One is that the market prospect is particularly good, and the other is that the country needs it.

  No matter what kind, as long as the research and development is successful, the research and development team can get a large bonus.

   And you can also get the profit share of product sales, although it is only 3% of the profit share, and it is only for three years.

  But this is also a good thing for the R&D team!

  Finally, Xinghai XAC established the MA700 small regional airliner project. This time the research and development is quite difficult.

  Because it is necessary to complete the development of a new model, it is no longer said that it is changed on the basis of Yun 7.

  Yun 7 itself is already old, and many designs can be said to have fallen behind the times.

   Moreover, Yun 7 is self-heavy, and the problem of short structural life has not been solved!

  It is a fundamental design problem, and unless it is overthrown and redone, the problem will never be solved.

   As for tearing down and redoing?

   Isn’t this just re-developing an aircraft?

  Everything is researched and developed from scratch. The time and personnel are easy to talk about, but the funds need to be a lot.

   And there is no guarantee that the developed aircraft will work.

   MA700 is an aircraft with 60-80 passengers, including two pilots and two flight attendants.

  If you have a flight attendant, that's fine too.

  This kind of small aircraft should have reduced operating costs as much as possible.

  The turboprop engine used in the engine is a turboprop engine produced by Fuxing Power.

  For the past few years, Fuxing Power is not just eating dry food. It has sorted out and digested the engine data obtained from Uzbekistan.

   There is no problem with taking out a Xinzhou 700 turboprop engine. After all, Fuxing Power also has a large number of engine design and development personnel from Eastern Europe.

   The Xinzhou 700 aircraft with turboprop engine is destined to not be able to fly too fast, the speed is only more than 600 kilometers per hour, and it will not work any faster.

   On the contrary, large ducted turbofan engines are suitable for aircraft with a speed of 400-1000 hours per hour. Passenger and transport aircraft basically use large ducted turbofan engines.

  Of course, the turboprop engine doesn’t seem to fly very fast, but in terms of efficiency, the turboprop engine is better than the turbofan engine.

  So, the turboprop engine is more fuel-efficient than the turbofan engine!

   This small civil passenger aircraft is very suitable for turboprop engines.
