After Yang Cheng expressed his attitude, he asked, "I remember that Delta had ordered 50 wide-body aircraft with Airbus in the past two years? What model is it? 350?"

Bastian confirmed, "Yes, this order includes 25 A350-900 and A330-900neo, each equipped with Rolls-Royce Trent XWB and Trent 7000 engines."

Yang Cheng frowned and asked, "Counting this order, how many orders have not been delivered now?"

Bastian said without hesitation, “Delta Airlines currently operates nearly 160 Airbus single-aisle and wide-body aircraft, including 57 A319, 69 A320, 11 A330-200 and 21 A330-300.

Including this order, Delta Air Lines still has a total of 105 Airbus aircraft orders waiting for delivery. In addition to these 50 passenger aircraft, there are also 10 A330-300 and 45 A321 aircraft orders that have not been delivered, but they will be delivered gradually this year. .

These new aircraft will be used to replace the old models. The replaced old models are sold to leasing companies, which can be leased to airlines in small countries to continue to generate profits. "

Yang Orange clicked on the table with his finger, "The time is a bit too long, so I put a little pressure on Airbus. If it can't be delivered within the contract time, we will cancel the order."

Bastian nodded and reminded him, "Understand~ A350 is still worth the wait."

Of course Yang Cheng knew that he just wanted to tell the French to focus on efficiency. The A350XWB wide-body aircraft is Airbus’s latest generation of medium-sized long-range wide-body aircraft series, and the latest member of Airbus’s very successful wide-body aircraft family.

With excellent ride comfort, a large number of innovative technology applications and unique technological processes, the A350XWB has a very obvious competitive advantage in the same class of aircraft, and its fuel consumption is reduced by 25%.

The A350XWB project has listened to the opinions of customers extensively, which has enabled it to establish new industry standards in many areas such as ride comfort, operational efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

Needless to say, the Airbus A330 series include passenger planes, freighters, military transport tankers, business jets and other derivative models. So far, more than 1,300 confirmed orders have been obtained.

It is currently one of the most efficient aircraft in the world and has extremely high operating economics. Airbus invests approximately US$150 million each year in the continuous improvement of the A330 project. The latest improvement is the launch of the A330neo.

A330neo inherits the proven economy, flexibility and reliability of the A330 series, and further reduces unit fuel consumption by 14%.

The A330neo series consists of two models: A330-800neo and A330-900neo. It is equipped with a new Trent 7000 engine produced by Rolls-Royce, with a fan diameter of 112 inches and a bypass ratio of up to 10:1, which can be increased at the same time. Seat, improve aerodynamic performance and introduce new cabin technology.

The A330, A350XWB and A380 constitute Airbus' complete wide-body aircraft series, covering the 250-seat to 500-seat market. Delta is definitely a major customer. How dare they not pay attention to the opinions of major customers?

"By the way, how is Boeing's branch line plan going?"

Bastian firmly said, "Self-research is impossible. It must be annexed. This will be a multi-billion-dollar acquisition and it will be difficult to complete in a short time."

"What is their goal?"

"Airbus has accepted the Canadian Bombardier. Boeing has few choices. It should be Embraer's core business."

Yang Cheng nodded thoughtfully. Once Boeing merges with Embraer's core business, it will mean that the world's largest regional jet business will be annexed by the Americans, and the world's civilian airliners will almost completely be monopolized by the two giants, Boeing and Airbus.

Bastian added, "I heard that Boeing and Embraer are preparing to establish a joint venture company covering the manufacture of civil airliners.

The joint venture will be responsible for Embraer’s commercial aircraft and service businesses. Boeing will hold 80% of the joint venture and Embraer will hold 20%. "

Yang Cheng smiled and said, "This so-called merger plan is to spin off Embraer's most valuable regional airliner business and sell it to Boeing."

Bastian spread his hand, "That's right~"

Embraer was founded in 1969 and is currently the world’s largest producer of regional jets. Headquartered in Sao Paulo, Brazil, its annual net profit is close to 3 billion U.S. dollars. It ranks second only to Airbus and Boeing in the world. The company focuses on jets below 120 seats. Regional passenger aircraft, the main models are divided into two regional passenger aircraft series ERJ145 jet series and E jet aircraft.

Among them, the ERJ145 jet series includes four models, namely the 50-seat ERJ145, the 50-seater ERJ145 long-range type, the 44-seat ERJ140 and the 37-seat ERJ135. This series has produced more than 1,000 aircraft in total, and is the first regional airliner product of Embraer.

The E-jet aircraft series also includes four models, namely the 70-80 seat E-170, the 78-88 seat E-175, the 98-114 seat E-190 and the 108-122 seat E-195. This series has also produced nearly 700 aircraft and has hundreds of orders.

Yang Orange shook his head, "I think Brazil ZF will not let it go easily. UU Reading www.uukānshu.com Embraer is one of their few pillar industries. If it is acquired by Boeing, Brazil will not have to play it.

After all, after Embraer’s most valuable regional airliner business is divested, it will still retain its corporate jet business and defense business, but will lose its manufacturing capacity for aircraft with more than 50 seats. What a shit?

Relying on military orders alone is not enough for Brazil's industry to feed so many employees, let alone problems involving national enterprises, Brazil ZF will not let it go easily.

However, the Brazilian industry must take advantage of Boeing and will do its best to promote the birth of this merger.

So the rest depends on the game between the two sides, and Boeing will definitely not give up.

Just as Airbus has formed a full-spectrum passenger aircraft product line, once Boeing integrates with Embraer's branch line business, it will inevitably enhance its comprehensive competitiveness in the commercial aircraft field.

As early as the turn of the century, the construction of three major business systems—civil aircraft group, military aircraft and missile department, and aerospace and communications equipment department—has been completed, and it has become a modern enterprise integrating aerospace, electricity, and both military and civil aviation. On the road of full-category competition, Boeing went far earlier and farther than Airbus.

In recent years, Boeing has continuously made moves in expanding its business chain and leveraging the capital market:

In 2014, a 777X wing production center was built in Everett, specializing in the manufacture of carbon fiber composite wings and tail wings.

In 2017, the avionics business department was established to directly provide navigation, flight control and information management systems to future new aircraft, putting on a posture of competing with traditional professional avionics companies; a new venture capital company called HorizonX was also established to invest Applicable technologies for automated vehicles, machine learning, additive manufacturing, and wearable devices.

Isn't this a big game of chess? "
