Chapter 357 An unexpected gain

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Hearing this, Evans quickly picked up the newspaper, and a huge headline came into view: "Wait and see: The world's most advanced drone Zeus-3 will be equipped in Italy."

    An uncontrollable smile immediately spread across Evans' face, and he continued to flip through the pages. The title of the next newspaper was even more exaggerated: "Zeus Drone, the New Symbol of Europe's Leading World."

    Evans wanted to read on, but it turned out that it was in French that he didn't recognize. He could only shake his head in disappointment, put the newspaper on his desk, and smiled at Owen: "It seems that we made the right bet this time."  .¡±

    "Yes!" Owen was also very excited: "I really didn't expect that Zhuang would give us such great support."

    Evans smiled even more happily, stood up and poured a cup of coffee for Irving, then filled a cup himself, took a sip and said: "I told you a long time ago, Zhuang is a reliable and good man. When we were making airplane models,  I just knew he was a good guy.¡±

    "That's right!" Owen nodded in agreement, but then he sighed with regret: "Unfortunately, according to the current European laws, we cannot use the engines produced by Tengfei Factory. It has to be said to be a pity."

    After hearing this, Evans also had a look of helplessness on his face.

    It is true that they want to copy the success of H Company, but because of their personalities, Evans and Irving are not as calculating as Lister and Lindemann. They just want to take off the factory by relying on it.  Products can make a little money in Europe. After all, if you do nothing all day long, you will be idle, so you might as well find something to do.

    Therefore, the expectations of Evans and Irving are simply to be a middleman and make a profit. They do not choose the upstream materials, intermediate manufacturing, or even the model, as long as they can buy and sell them.  That¡¯s it.

    In this regard, Owen wrote very clearly in his handwritten letter to Zhuang Jianye. What the two of them did not expect was that Zhuang Jianye not only responded in time, but also gave them a lot of suggestions, the most important of which was to understand the use of the most popular aviation products in Europe.  and current laws on sales.

    ?????????????????This sight really shocked the two of them. They really didn¡¯t expect that Europe has extremely strict regulations on the production, sales and use of aircraft.

    Fortunately, most of them are manned aircraft, and there are not many hard and fast rules in the UAV field. With the technical strength of Tengfei Factory, there should be no problem, but there is one thing that gives Evans and Irving a headache.

    That is, in terms of avionics equipment and engines, European regulations are very dogmatic, that is, products must meet the safety qualification review of the European Aviation Administration before they are allowed to be used, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter the European market.

    For this reason, the two went to the federal government agency in charge of aviation to inquire, and hired a lawyer to provide a legal explanation to the European Community. After some tossing, the final answer given by the European Aviation Safety Committee was:

    Due to the particularity of UAVs, aircraft and avionics can be allowed to use parts and finished products suitable for unmanned flight, but aero engines must comply with current European flight safety standards.

    To explain it in human terms, Europe has no past experience with UAVs and does not know what to do, so the standards for avionics and the aircraft itself can be relaxed and you can do whatever you want; but for aero engines, they must be issued by the European Aviation Safety Council.  Only with the airworthiness certificate can the use be allowed, otherwise there is no need to discuss it.

    ¡°As a result, the D-30at turboprop engine developed based on the D-30 ignition turbine power unit, which Ascendas Factory plans to install on the Zeus-3 UAV, is excluded.

    Because the D-30at turboprop engine wants to be sold to Europe with the Zeus-3 UAV, it must obtain a European aviation engine airworthiness certificate.

    The process of obtaining an airworthiness certificate is simple. The problem is that Europeans like to find faults in this matter. They would like to use an electron microscope to look for viruses on the product, and then say that your engine virus exceeds the standard and may harm Europe.  It is safe and it is a matter of course to pass your product.

    There is no other way. After all, apart from the high-sounding safety reasons, the airworthiness certificate is also an important means for Europe and the United States to raise the entry threshold for the aviation market and crack down on the aviation manufacturing industry outside Europe and the United States.

    After all, in the current world, Europe and the United States are still the largest markets in the world, and they are also the most high-end markets. Whether it is a private jet used by the rich, a large passenger aircraft used by civil aviation, or a fighter jet used by the military, each one is worth a lot of money.  In ordinary countries, buying a dozen or so aircraft is enough to make a living. On the other hand, in Europe and the United States, ordinary aviation companies can easily buy more than a hundred aircraft, let alone countries that are not short of money.

    Therefore, European and American aviation giants take the European and American markets very seriously. Not only are they dog-eat-dog internally, they are also very aggressive externally.?Be vigilant and use all available methods to exclude potential competitors. The airworthiness certificate is their most important method.

    In the name of security, we build a state-level entry threshold, and then reject it confidently: "It's not that we don't like your product, but for the sake of people's safety, I'm sorry, I'll take it back and change it, work hard, come on."  , I¡¯m optimistic about you!¡±

    ¡°Then¡­ once it was changed, it became bankrupt.

    Others don¡¯t understand the twists and turns here. Doesn¡¯t Zhuang Jianye, who has lived for two lifetimes, not understand?  Zhuang Jianye knew very well how much the domestic aviation industry had suffered in this regard in his previous life, not to mention that he was not allowed to waste any more time in order to snipe Company H.

    So when the whole machine failed, we immediately changed to plan B, decisively abandoning the D-30at turboprop engine and replacing it with a 428-kilowatt low-power version produced by the American Honeywell company that was originally used in the new UAV verification aircraft of the Tengfei Factory.  TPE331 small turboprop engine.

    The reason for choosing this engine is that the prototype of the Thor-3 UAV is used in the new unmanned verification aircraft of the Tengfei Factory. Secondly, this engine and several of its derivatives are manufactured by Honeywell in Europe.  The company's specially approved license production line has used this engine in several small aircraft produced in Europe. Therefore, it has already obtained the aviation engine airworthiness certificate issued by the European Aviation Safety Committee.

    ¡°In this way, Thor-3 is officially born.

    As for the control and avionics systems, Qin Hongjun¡¯s aviation computer research has already figured out the supporting systems of the Discovery-1, so if it can be produced domestically, Zhuang Jianye will leave it to domestic production, and if it cannot be produced, let Action Company do it.  Search for alternative manufacturing companies with similar technologies around the world.

    Then it will be re-integrated in Europe according to the structure given by Tengfei Factory.

    With such busy work, Zeus-3 instantly became a new manufacturing model that broke through the traditional production method and achieved initial global production and global OEM. On the contrary, it reduced the overall cost by 28% and achieved incredible unexpected gains.
