Yes, not only is there no difference, it is not even as popular as the old Yun 5. After all, if the modified Yun 5 equipped with a turboprop engine does not have a qualitative jump, the overall cost will not only be higher than the old Yun 5, but the performance will be similar. In this case, users who choose with their feet know that it is more cost-effective to use Laoyunwu.
What's more, Tengfei Factory is not without lessons from past mistakes. The parent model of the Yin-5 is the Soviet An-2 transport aircraft. In the late 1970s, the Antonov Design Bureau believed that the performance of the An-2 designed in the 1940s was too old and somewhat unsuitable. future development.
Based on the An-2, it was replaced with a high-power turboprop engine. This is the successor model of the An-2 transport aircraft, the An-3 transport aircraft.
Since the project was initiated in 1980, several prototypes were built and a series of test flights were conducted. The final result was that this model died silently.
There is only one reason for this, and that is that except for changing the engine, the performance of the An-3 has not been much improved compared to the An-2. On the contrary, because the manufacturing cost of the turboprop engine is high and the maintenance is complicated, it is not as good as using a piston. The An-2 engine is cost-effective.
Seeing that even the equipment has no future, this model has no other option but to dismount.
¡°If the Tengfei Factory only replaces a Honeywell turboprop engine on the Yun-5, and the others remain unchanged, it will be nothing more than a copy of the Soviet An-3.
The future may not be as good as that of An-3. At least An-3 can still test fly for a few years before it can no longer hold on. As for Tengfei Factory, it is estimated that it will attract some attention during the first flight and then publish an article about my country's first flight in the newspaper. With the news of the successful first flight of the new turboprop general-purpose aircraft, it has completely completed its historical mission.
No way, it¡¯s more expensive than Lao Yun 5, and it¡¯s more complicated to maintain than Lao Yun 5. The most important thing is that the work you do is not much better than Lao Yun 5. Why should people use your things?
By then, apart from gaining some good reputation, Tengfei Factory will have nothing of substance and will instead suffer a lot.
The Antonov Design Bureau of the Soviet Union has a lot of heavy transport aircraft projects in its hands. It is a big company and a small An-3 is nothing at all.
But Tengfei Factory can¡¯t. It has walked a tightrope all the way to the present. Once this model fails, it will mean the failure of Tengfei Factory¡¯s development strategy to enter manned aircraft.
At that time, Tengfei Factory can only focus on its existing business, re-acquire strength, and then launch an impact in this field. The problem is that it will be another year of the monkey and the horse will not be around until the next time. By then, it will be difficult for the domestic market to catch up with me. Said that similar models are beginning to emerge in the international market.
For example, the pc-6 and pc-12 of Piltus of Switzerland; the Super Tucano of Embraer.
They are all masterpieces of single-engine turboprop aircraft. As European and American aviation giants monopolize large jets and actively expand the private business jet market, there is actually very little market space left for other aviation manufacturing companies.
The market segment of single-engine turboprop aircraft is one of the big items.
If Tengfei Factory can complete the modification and reconstruction of the Y-5 as planned, and apply it to harsh areas such as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the border areas, and then obtain airworthiness certificates for the modified Y-5 in Europe and the United States through a series of means, it can completely match the Swiss Pilatus and Embraer jointly compete for this market segment.
By then, Tengfei Factory will be able to fully utilize its advantages in the entire industry chain and its low labor costs to achieve cost-effectiveness in the international market, and it will be able to crush these two companies within two years.
Then use this to continuously iterate on the modified transport 5 to stabilize the basic disk, and then you can slowly develop in the direction of business jets or small freight aircraft; then the short -range branch passenger aircraft will be until large passenger aircraft.
What¡¯s more, even if we abandon the development line of large passenger aircraft, using the technology of modifying the Y-5, Tengfei Factory can completely embark on a different path of military aircraft on training aircraft.
All in all, in short, giving up the established goal of modifying the Yun 5 is equivalent to giving up the future of Tengfei Factory. The consequences are so serious that Zhuang Jianye feels that he cannot bear it. What should he do?
Just grit your teeth and hold on, I don¡¯t believe that a living person can be choked to death by peeing.
Having made up his mind, Zhuang Jianye smoked the rest of the cigarette in one gulp, then exhaled a long wisp of smoke, and then stubbed out the cigarette butt in a trash can by the roadside: "Let's go according to the original plan."
"What about the pressurized cabin?" Lin Guanghua asked beside him.
"Establish the project internally first, and seek external technical support at the same time. I will consider how to do it when I get back." After hearing this, Lin Guanghua nodded: "Okay, let's do it first. Now that it's decided, I'll go to the factory. , I still need to prepare for the basic test in the afternoon."
"Okay, ?Let¡¯s communicate in time if anything happens. "
"Okay!" Lin Guanghua nodded and walked quickly towards the testing workshop.
After seeing Lin Guanghua off, Zhuang Jianye sighed again. At this moment, he really missed the time when he danced with wolves with Company H.
By seizing the source of drone manufacturing, H Company, a leather company, became the captain of the transportation team, which really benefited a lot. It's a pity that H Company was always running around and was beaten by the Action Company. Half disabled, now that he has sold himself to GM, this external path is completely cut off.
Evans and Irving¡¯s Actor Aviation Systems Company is of course also an external channel. The problem is that Evans and Irving are not as strong and bold as Lindemann and Lister, so it is difficult to expect them to perform any groundbreaking feats.
Secondly, the company is located in the Federal Republic of Germany. Affected by the defeat of World War II, the German aviation industry was severely controlled by other victorious countries, so Actor Aviation Systems did not receive any strong support at all.
" In this way, it is as if there are no external channels. As for spending money to purchase, Zhuang Jianye doesn't even think about it. The materials, equipment, and technology, all added together, can directly hollow out the Tengfei Factory.
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find a breakthrough. Zhuang Jianye's head hurt a little.
I simply didn¡¯t think about it anymore, and then raised my hand to look at the old Shanghai brand watch. I found that it was already past noon. I felt my stomach was growling, so I was going to go to the cafeteria to have a meal, then go back to the office and lie down for a while. Good afternoon for the meeting. A leadership team meeting will arrange production tasks for the next month.
Just as Zhuang Jianye was making plans, he turned to a fork in the road and headed towards the cafeteria. Xiao Zheng, a new assistant who had just arrived less than a month ago, hurried over and told Zhuang Jianye an astonishing news before he could even take a breath: "Zhuang Jianye President, Mr. Pan of the Yuanli Factory was defrauded of 20 million and was so angry that he was hospitalized."
