"Aviation materials?" The look of confusion on Schumann's face became even thicker. He didn't expect Ascendas Group to be involved in aviation materials.
"nomex, kevlar and t700!" Yoder sighed and said two proper nouns.
Schumann was startled for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he opened his mouth a few times to say something, but for some reason, his lips moved for a long time and he couldn't say a word.
Nomex material is the name of DuPont in the United States. It is called aramid 1313 in China and is called honeycomb aramid within Tengfei Group. Because of its light weight and strong toughness, it is generally used to make reinforced honeycomb structures, the so-called aramid paper honeycomb composite materials. .
On fixed-wing aircraft, this material is generally used as the movable rudder surface of the wing, leading edge flaps, ailerons, doors and other main structures.
??Furthermore, it is widely used in the main cabin structure of private aircraft and business aircraft in order to reduce the total structural weight of the entire aircraft, enhance the air tightness of the aircraft, and reduce cabin noise.
However, compared to large aircraft and private aircraft, the most widely used application of this material is helicopters.
From the honeycomb of the main support structure in the helicopter rotor, to the composite materials used to reduce the weight of the fuselage and hatch, to the reinforced structure at the bottom of the fuselage to isolate heat and cold and resist damage, almost every key large component has nomex Material shadow.
Aside from other things, this material is widely used on the "Black Hawk" helicopter produced in the United States.
Kevlar material is also produced by DuPont in the United States. The Chinese translation is called Kevlar. The domestic name is aramid 1414. It is more commonly known as reinforced aramid within Ascendas Group.
Because different grades of materials have different functions, some can be used as the main material of bulletproof vests or helmets, while others can bear the reinforced protective layer on the outside of optical fibers. Only a few reinforced aramid fibers can be applied to the aviation field as reinforcements. One of the basic materials, thereby improving the performance of the entire machine.
Among them, the most widely used is carbon fiber composite materials such as t700.
However, whether it is nomex, kevlar or t700, all of them are the most cutting-edge aerospace materials in the world today. Throughout the entire earth, only the United States and Japan can produce these three types of materials at the same time.
Not even the Soviet Union, which claims to have strong material capabilities. As for Europe, although it has been working hard to develop it for so many years, it cannot withstand the dumping of such high-end aviation materials by the United States and Japan, leading to the rapid collapse of the industry in Europe. It can only rely on the United States and Japan. import.
Of course, it is said that it is imported from the United States and Japan. In fact, it can only depend on the faces of the Americans, because Japan is also a tool that the Americans have strangled by the neck.
If the Americans want the Japanese to rise up, they can make Japan rise up. When they see Japan trying to surpass the United States, they don¡¯t even have to look back. They can just slap them back to their original shape. Moreover, Japan cannot have any temper at all and must be polite. He bowed to the great American man and thanked him: "Grandpa, your slap makes me so happy!"
Because of this, although in the international market, these three types of high-end aerospace materials are competing with related companies from Japan and the United States, it seems that the two sides are still fighting fiercely. In fact, all resources are in the hands of the Americans, forming a de facto monopoly.
Therefore, the prices of these three types of aerospace materials are ridiculously high.
Not to mention, due to the important application of this kind of material in aviation and aerospace, the United States has also included it in the strategic control list, and has established a set of levels for export similar to fantasy novels. Core allies have one price; peripheral allies have one price. It's another price. Friendly countries will directly open their mouths. As for other countries, no matter how much money they spend, they may not be able to buy it because the Americans directly embargo it.
Therefore, these three types of materials are basically priced at sky-high prices in the international market. Even if they are purchased at the price of core allies, they are so expensive that one would vomit blood.
However, the major aviation manufacturing giants in the United States have vigorously promoted and applied these materials. Not only has the price of the aircraft they produce continued to rise, earning more generous excess profits, it has also caused the costs of major aviation maintenance companies to rise sharply.
As a result, some weak airlines, even if they buy large passenger aircraft, will discard them within a few years. They would rather buy a new one than find a way to repair the old one, because the cost of repairing the old aircraft may be more than The cost of buying a new machine is still high.
This has actually pushed up the model sales of the American aviation manufacturing giant.
People in other countries in the world are not fools. They can naturally see that this is an absolute weapon for the United States to establish a monopoly, but they dare not speak out. If you don¡¯t have this thing in your hands, what can you do to the Americans? It's nice to vent your temper, but when Americans cut off your confession, they can slap you in the face until you lie on the ground and call you daddy.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? To engage in independent research and development?
It¡¯s a good choice?, but before you can get it out, the Americans have joined forces with Japan to launch large-scale promotions. Various discounts will make you doubt your life, and they will let you produce as much as you want until you are exhausted, and their materials have been upgraded. , continue to push you to death with high prices.
For so many years, the European aviation industry, including Airbus, has been pinched by the Americans. They are so stubborn that they don¡¯t want to lie down, but it is difficult to stand up. They can only hunched over like shrimps. This is one of the key reasons why the American aerospace manufacturing giant has been slapped in the face.
Both Boeing and McDonnell Douglas use these materials on a large scale to improve performance. If Airbus does not adopt them, it will fall behind, and if it falls behind, it will be beaten. But if it does, the cost will be higher than that of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, so it can only carefully maintain a balance. , torturing European aeronautical engineers almost to the point of becoming mentally ill.
As a member of the European aviation industry, Schumann is naturally aware of the difficulties Europe encounters in this field, so when he heard that Ascendas Group could produce these three types of materials, he was surprised and only then did he truly understand the two aviation maintenance companies. Why is the giant so anxious to come over to see Zhuang Jianye?
The market is not important. If you can get low-priced high-end materials, that is the way to go. You must know that the American aviation manufacturing giants are eating the eggs of high-end materials and eating alone, which has seriously affected the interests of these aviation maintenance giants.
"Buying new aircraft is cheaper than repairing old ones. If this continues, who will repair old aircraft and all will buy new ones? What will they do in the aviation maintenance business?" Are you going to drink the northwest wind?
So whether it is Donald Wynn or Moston, they no longer care much about Ascendas Group occupying the market. What they want is to get low-priced aviation materials, thereby reducing their own costs, and then living better.
Realizing this, Schumann¡¯s originally blank eyes turned towards Jodel with a rather resentful look: ¡°Why didn¡¯t you report such an important matter earlier?¡±
Yoder shrugged helplessly: "Even if I report it, do you think the bastards at the headquarters can believe it?"
Schumann blushed and pretended not to have heard anything. He waved his hand and dropped the topic. Then he said with a bit of impatience, "This time the plan has changed. Rather than seeking technical support, I hope that these three categories can be solved." Won the European agency rights for high-end materials.¡±
