Master Ju¡¯s words are indeed correct. Ascendas Aviation Corporation started by imitating the T-62 series APU auxiliary power unit of the American Hamilton Company when it started to ignite turbine power units.
After some polishing and improvement, it developed into the D-20 series gas turbine power unit.
Although this series is not as eye-catching and dazzling as the d-30 series used for combined cold and power generation equipment, the d-40 series used for aircraft engines, and the d-50 gas turbine installed on ships.
But it is the gas turbine power device with the largest production volume, the most widely used application and the most mature product of Ascendas Aviation Corporation.
The reason for this is very simple. Although the D-20 series gas turbine power unit is not used on aircraft platforms and has become a genuine APU auxiliary power unit, it is widely used in UAV systems by Ascendas Aviation Corporation and has become indispensable. Ground power generation equipment, the so-called GPU (Ground Power Unit).
As Ascendas Aviation Corporation's sales in the field of drones have continued to expand in recent years, in addition to several drones for each system, a GPU cabin truck equipped with a D-20 series gas turbine power unit is inevitable. , plus a set of D-20 series gas turbine power units as replacement spare parts. Over the past few years, the shipment volume of D-20 series gas turbine power units is second only to UAVs, becoming the second largest shipment of Ascendas Aviation Corporation. Best-selling aviation products.
However, because it needs to be sold as a system with a drone, the external product name is generally replaced by the drone system, so it seems inconspicuous, but it is such an inconspicuous d-20 series gas turbine power unit that supports it. Taking over half of the entire Tengfei Aviation Power Company, it has become the biggest source of income for the Tengfei Aviation Power Plant, which is like a gold-eating beast.
The production line has not been interrupted since the day it was put into production. Otherwise, how could it be possible that Zhuang Jianye could have delivered it today just after a phone call last night. The reason is very simple. The D-20 series gas turbine power unit is still in full swing. What specifications do you want? No matter what the power, by slightly adjusting the interfaces and pipelines, you can directly load it from the production line onto the aircraft of the General Aviation Fleet and fly thousands of miles away.
At this speed, not to mention the navy commander who was following Zhuang Jianye was surprised, even Fox and other McDonnell Douglas employees not far away also widened their eyes in surprise.
Although Zhuang Jianye and others promised at yesterday's communication meeting that the replacement APU would be delivered before 4 o'clock this afternoon, although Fox looked anxious on the surface and couldn't wait for the repair, it still needs to be done. To be honest, I really can't say that I listened to Zhuang Jianye's words.
After all, Fox's focus is to win the favor of China's civil aviation decision-makers. In other words, the cooperation with Ascendas Airlines is just an attitude of McDonnell Douglas, so that China's civil aviation decision-makers can see the benefits of McDonnell Douglas technology in the market. Determined, just in order to sell a few more follow-up md-11 wide-body mainline passenger aircraft.
So Fox doesn¡¯t care at all whether Ascendas Aviation Corporation can repair it, when it will be repaired, or what kind of repair it will be. It¡¯s just a piece of bait. As long as it can catch the fish, does any fisherman care whether the bait is dead or alive?
What's more, putting aside commercial interests, Fox felt that the McDonnell Douglas engineer who had a conflict with him last night was very reasonable. With China's aviation technology, it is estimated that the technology on the DC-10 has never been used. Don¡¯t tell me how to fix it.
Because of this, when Zhuang Jianye said that the APU would be in place before four o'clock this afternoon, Foss and others just listened. It would be better if it arrived, and it didn't matter if it didn't. Anyway, if you want to catch big fish, these two days are not enough. You must have a little bit. Patience is not.
Unexpectedly, before four o'clock, the APU of Ascendas Airlines arrived at this naval military airport on a small cargo plane, which really surprised Fox and others who didn't take it seriously.
"real or fake?"
The slight surprise quickly passed, and a McDonnell Douglas technician with a mustache and toad glasses frowned and asked.
Another fat technician standing next to him shook his head: "I don't know, but I can guarantee that there is definitely a problem, because I have never heard that China can produce APUs."
The technician wearing toad glasses nodded: "Well, you are right. If I remember correctly, there will be a batch of APUs in the md-82 assembly plant in Shanghai."
As he spoke, the technician wearing the toad glasses suddenly became very strange: "The problem is that although the md-82 uses the same series of APUs as the dc-10, their power is very different. The md-82 only has 96 kilowatts. But the DC-10 requires 218 kilowatts. What if the Chinese really get the MD-82 APU?"
The last question was given to Fox, which made his brain hurt. It is estimated that Ascendas Airlines probably used MD-82 low-power APU to make up the number.
"That is to say, Fox didn't know that there is an old saying in China called Liu Adou who can't afford it. NoHowever, Fox will definitely give Ascendas Airlines a thumbs up.
Isn¡¯t it too childish to do this? Do you think a md-82 apu can fit all models? What a joke!
But in order to catch big fish, fishermen have to endure the occasional tossing of bait. Otherwise, how can they seduce the fat and tender fish to bite the hook?
So Volkswagen frowned and thought for a moment, then tilted his head and asked: "Is the 96 kilowatts of power enough to start the engine?"
"This" The technician wearing the toad glasses was at a loss for words for a moment, but the fat technician thought for a while and said uncertainly: "If it is not connected to other power sources, it will be okay."
"That's fine. As long as they can start the three main engines, even if they have repaired it." Foss had the urge to turn around and leave. In order to sell the DC-10, he had to do enough. The two technicians from McDonnell Douglas next to me looked at each other, looking at each other with weird expressions. They finally nodded with difficulty and accepted the matter.
"Well~~" Fox nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, and then raised his chin: "Their APU is about to be hoisted, you go and take a look, don't damage other equipment because of the installation of one APU. "
After the two technicians left, Foss turned around and entered the cabin along the simple spiral staircase, then walked all the way to the cab, sat down in the spare driver's seat at the back, and said to Hugh Wood and Beckman in front of him. : "The replaced APU only needs to be able to start the engine, don't expect to provide additional things."
Hugh Wood and Beckman, who were preparing for the fitting test, were stunned for a moment and wanted to say something, but seeing Fosse's gloomy face, they swallowed their words.
After about twenty minutes, the walkie-talkie carried by Hugh Wood came from the prompt that the McDonnell Douglas technician could start the APU. Hugh Wood immediately turned on the APU start switch. The instrument screen in front of him quickly turned on the power, and soon the rated value of the APU appeared. The power number began to rise steadily. Beckman frowned and watched all this, then turned to look at the squinting Foss behind him, and asked in confusion: "Mr. Foss, the power of the APU just replaced has reached 223 One kilowatt, not to mention starting three engines, is more than enough to energize, ventilate, and pressurize the cabin at full capacity."
When Fox heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he exclaimed one word: "What?"
