v2 Chapter 1397： Unlimited scenery three

Military products are never just based on the performance of the product itself. This is a bit insinuating, which makes Willem von Stillman very unhappy. But at the moment on the podium, and people have not clearly pointed out that the United States or Boeing is not, it is not easy to refute it;

In fact, this is not the most important thing. After all, Americans are domineering, and they are very clear in their own hearts. It's just that the lost orders were taken over by the Soviets, so it was an unforgivable mistake. You may not sell it yourself, but you don't want other countries to occupy it; typical robber logic, but who makes a country strong and unreasonable!

If it is other countries and companies, they can still use their strength to suppress them; but in the face of polar bears, Americans do not have much confidence. Perhaps economically, the United States has an absolute advantage. But in terms of military, the United States really does not take any advantage. Western 81 military exercise, although time has passed for a long time.

But the cloud that hangs over European countries and Americans has not completely cleared. It can be said that as long as the Soviet Union still exists, this sense of crisis will always exist.

Little Ustinov was a general with a huge family. It is not easy to face the hard steel, and we can only let the reporters from our country clean up him; this is a true portrayal of the hearts of exhibitors from the United States and Western European countries.

It was finally the turn of the American reporter to ask questions, much to the dismay of the Associated Press reporter. As one of the four major news agencies in the West, as the national strength of the United States continues to rise, they are well-deserved protagonists wherever they go. Basically, they will be asked to ask the first question, and now it is a bit unacceptable that they are ranked after the Soviets.

At this moment, we must support American companies, and we can only let the Soviets, including the French, take a look. The professionalism of their Associated Press reporters, otherwise they really don't know who is the boss of the world's media.

The Associated Press reporter stood up and asked, "Hello, Mr. Stillman. I'm a reporter for the Associated Press. As the controlling family of Boeing, are you satisfied with Boeing's performance this time? Boeing has developed passenger-carrying capabilities. Plans for more planes! If developed, how to solve the aero-engine problem!"

United Aircraft Corporation's h3m-111 aircraft, it can be said that no one can ignore. Even the American media has to recognize this aircraft, which must be the development trend of civil airliners. Of course, the largest shareholder of United Aircraft is the American; as for the Japanese and Hong Kong people, they add up to the same amount as the shares of the American company.

If Boeing was born of a big house, then United Aircraft Manufacturing Company can at least be regarded as a second wife. Therefore, American reporters will not be so sad about United Aircraft Corporation, after all, to a certain extent; the h3m-111 aircraft can also represent the strength of the American aviation industry.

But now only one company produces aircraft that can carry more than 800 passengers, which is not conducive to technological development and technological progress. I believe that after the two companies compete with each other, American Airlines will be able to take it to a higher level. Of course, from the bottom of my heart, I still hope that Boeing will win the final victory. At least in terms of scale and sales, it is stronger than the United Aircraft Corporation.

At present, only Heiyun can produce civil aviation engines with a thrust of more than 400 kN; there is no semicolon. If this problem is not solved, then the development of super airliner; will be a joke.

A direct descendant of the Stillman family, who has appeared in public for the first time in 100 years. Wilhelm von Stillman still wanted to show off, not only the image of his family, but also his own future prospects. This time Boeing has been very disappointing. I heard my father reveal that some people in the family elders are already making irresponsible remarks. If there is a problem, it is estimated that the position of the patriarch will definitely miss him.

Being recognized by the public is also an achievement. At least let the Stillman family restore some reputation; let people know that the children of the family have not slept on the credits of the past for so many years. Keep learning and keep improving.

William von Stillman: "Thanks to the reporter for your question, the ups and downs of the business market are normal. There is no company in the world that has been able to go all the way to the forefront of the times. In the aviation field, it has only been 80 years since it was fully calculated. History. Boeing is the company with the highest sales in civil aviation, but that is history. At least it has nothing to do with me, and it will not be shameless to take it for myself.”

"This time, the United Aircraft Corporation has launched a very good aircraft. At least in the field of super passenger aircraft, the Boeing 747 has a stronger opponent. A company that wants to develop for a long time does not need to care about temporary gains and losses; it will be meaningless. ."

"So I am still very satisfied with Boeing engineers, at least they have done a good job of the tasks assigned by the company. But I am not satisfied with them. The control of market dynamics, the whole Boeing has fallen behind; of course, including myself."

"Fortunately, it is not too late, leaving us enough time to correct. With the rise in international crude oil prices, reducing fuel consumption and increasing passenger capacity must be issues that aircraft manufacturing companies need to think about in the future. Boeing, as a leading company in the industry, naturally also We will increase investment in this field.”

"As for whether you will develop aircraft that can carry more passengers, there is no doubt. In fact, Boeing already has mature models, and even the prototypes have been built. It's just because the technology is not very mature in the past few years, plus the production cost Too high; no promotion."

"But in recent years, new technologies have emerged one after another. Cost and technology are not the main factors restricting the development of super passenger aircraft. And this Paris Air Show has given us absolute confidence that the market still recognizes this super passenger aircraft."

"After the exhibition, the Boeing 747x project will be relaunched; I believe that we will be able to meet you at the next air show."

"As for the aero-engine you mentioned, I think with the technical reserves of the American company, there is still no problem in developing it. Even if it cannot be developed in a short time, we will apply to Heiyun Group for purchase; but I think this kind of thing happened. The probability is not very high! The aviation industry wants to develop, not technology blockade, but constant communication and sharing.”

"Mr. Bao Zixuan, as the top engineer of Aerodynamics, also hopes to develop products to serve more people."

Hearing Wilhelm von Stillman's answer, everyone felt reasonable. Boeing, which is the civil aviation hegemon with the most abundant technical reserves in the world, how could it not have a super passenger aircraft project.

The world knows that in the 1980s, the total number of employees in the US aerospace industry was 1.19 million; of which nearly 90,000 were scientists and engineers engaged in research and design. There are more than 10 major aircraft manufacturing companies, including General Dynamics, Rockwell International, Boeing, McDonnell-Douglas, Lockheed, Grumman, and Northrop.

There are also two large aircraft engine manufacturers: Pratt-Whitney and General Electric. Large companies generally focus on design and final assembly, and parts are provided by subcontractors and finished product suppliers.

U.S. aviation research and technology development work is carried out by a combination of government agencies, military research institutions, corporate technology development departments, and universities; each has a different focus.

From 1965 to 1975, the average annual cost of aerospace research and development was about 5 billion US dollars, accounting for about 30% of the national research and development cost. The United States has the largest and most comprehensive aviation research facilities in the world. By the end of the 1970s, there were 149 wind tunnels of various types, 75 structural test facilities, 129 jet engine test facilities, and 49 flight simulation facilities.

All of this shows the strength of the American aviation industry. And this is only the official information, there are still many secret scientific research projects on UU reading that are not known to outsiders.

Although the Heiyun Group was the first to develop a three-rotor engine, it was just a flash of genius and could not explain anything at all. The United States can have a strong aviation industry base with a huge workforce. For that alone, the whole world would be envious. Therefore, when William von Stillman proposed that Boeing restart the 747x project; after there was no problem with the aero engine, everyone was still willing to believe it.

Although there is no reward for effort, there is certainly no reward for no effort. The United States, however, has made a national effort to invest in the field of aviation, and it is difficult to develop it.

In addition, there are ready-made technologies that can be used for reference. If none of these can produce an engine with a thrust of 400 kN; then Pratt & Whitney and General Dynamics are too disappointing.

At the same time, Mr. Stillman did not speak to death, when Boeing proposed the intention to purchase aero-engines from the Black Cloud Group. Bao Zixuan will not refuse, but also consider the consequences of refusing, whether he can afford it!
