That¡¯s 5 billion U.S. dollars. Not to mention Director Zhao and Fang Yong, even experts from the Brazilian Aeronautics and Space Administration such as Edoo and Crildo are not calm.
To know what a regional airliner is, the emb-120 regional airliner developed and produced by Embraer in the mid-1980s has gained a certain reputation in the world regional airliner market.
In the 1990s, with the reorganization of the assets of Brazilian Aerospace Industry Corporation and the introduction of some private capital, the company began to develop the emb-140 regional passenger aircraft based on the emb-120 with the support of the Brazilian Aeronautics and Space Administration.
It was later renamed erj-140 series regional airliners. Except for being smaller in size, its performance is basically the same as Ascendas Group's trj-500 regional airliners.
But precisely because of this, Embraer has encountered unprecedented difficulties in this project. From the initial plan in 1989 to the sudden termination of the project in 1991, it then underwent a restart and ended up with the current ERJ-140 series regional passenger aircraft. Not even a clue.
???????????? If not, Edoo and Crildo would not be able to travel all over the world, just to find stable and reliable parts suppliers for Embraer¡¯s flagship product.
There is nothing we can do about it. It is true that the Brazilian aerospace industry is unparalleled in South America, but from a global perspective, the Brazilian aerospace industry is a typical partial science student. There is no problem with the design, research and development, and even partial manufacturing of aircraft. It is even among the world's leading companies in some areas.
But if you break the Brazilian aerospace industry into pieces, you will find that there are very few things that truly belong to Brazil.
Industrial design relies on the help of American giants such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrop; production equipment is customized products from Europe; metal materials are imported from the American Aluminum Company, and high-end composite materials are products from Japan and Spain
After all, only a small part is produced by Brazilians themselves, and then the local production lines integrate these materials, components, and products collected from all over the world to produce so-called Brazilian "domestic" aircraft.
In accordance with the development of globalization, Embraer¡¯s aircraft production system based on global suppliers is very consistent with today¡¯s development concept of economic integration.
And we have actually gained great benefits from it. If nothing else, the super-class cost control is not comparable to ordinary aircraft manufacturers. Otherwise, Embraer¡¯s emb-120 regional passenger aircraft would not be the first in the world. Achieved good sales performance within a certain range, thus destroying many established regional airliner manufacturers.
The problem is that this method of playing has many benefits, but it must have a necessary prerequisite, that is, one's own strength is strong enough and the technology is hard enough to be able to replace suppliers that jump back at critical moments, and use absolute strength to press the jump. The head of the rebels is rubbing hard on the ground. Only by laying out the world in this way can the industry achieve maximum benefits.
??????????????????For example, Boeing.
It is true that low-end manufacturing is desperately trying to flow out of the United States, but the high-end aviation manufacturing industry is firmly in the hands of the Americans. From high-end aero engines to ordinary metal rivets, the United States can completely throw away The only disadvantage of opening a self-sufficient supply chain in the world may be that the cost is a bit high, but there are no other problems.
It is precisely with such a strong backing that Boeing is invincible in international competition out of cost control. It is understandable to put the supply chain under the global pattern and use the optimal allocation of the market to find the optimal solution for the product, because it is understandable. That¡¯s where Boeing¡¯s strength lies.
Brazilian Aerospace Industry Corporation has the ambition to copy Boeing, but it does not have the fearless strength of Boeing. It is okay to make small fuss. The Novice Village model cannot threaten the giants. It is too lazy to talk to you, but once it is out of Novice Village, be prepared When fighting the boss, fierce suppression will naturally follow.
Yes, Brasil was ruthlessly suppressed, not by the United States, the leader in the aviation industry, but by Canada, the United States¡¯ die-hard brother.
No way, Embraer¡¯s erj-140 series regional airliners pose a great threat to the Canadian Bombardier¡¯s CRJ-200 series regional airliners that have just been put on the market in terms of performance, mission, range and operating costs.
You must know that the CRJ-200 series regional airliners are in an absolute monopoly position in the international regional airliner market today. This is because traditional propeller regional airliners are gradually being eliminated, and the market is in urgent need of speed, high comfort and excellent performance. The advanced regional passenger aircraft will replace it; secondly and most importantly, the CRJ-200 series regional passenger aircraft is excellent enough.
The combination of the two resulted in the CRJ-200 series regional passenger aircraft becoming a hit in the regional passenger aircraft market as soon as they were launched, immediately allowing Bombardier to gain a monopoly in this field.?
Business is always good if you can only eat it alone, how can you let others get a share of the pie?
Because of this, when Bombardier learned that Embraer was preparing to launch the ERJ-140 series regional airliners at the same level as the CRJ-200 series regional airliners, it naturally tried every means to combat this latecomer.
Want to use GM¡¯s GE series turbofan engine or Pratt & Whitney¡¯s PW series turbofan engine? Then I will sign an exclusive supply contract with them and block Brazilian Aerospace Industries from obtaining turbojet engines of more than 6 tons.
As a result, Embraer had no choice but to find the British company Rolls-Royce. The problem was that Rolls-Royce only had one ae3007 turbofan engine that had just been put into testing and verification. It had a maximum thrust of only 4.5 tons and was mainly used for long-distance engines. The performance of unmanned aerial vehicles and small business jets is far inferior to that of General Motors and Pratt & Whitney products.
But due to the pressure from Bombardier, Brazilian Aerospace Industry Corporation has no choice but to make the best of it, because the Brazilians have no choice at all.
????????????????? But the engine is pretty good, at least the British can barely communicate with it, while the basic high-end aviation materials in Brazil are completely useless.
The Brazilians are also helpless about this. The power and thrust are limited. If they want to achieve the performance of Bombardier's CRJ-200 series regional airliners, their own ERJ-140 series regional airliners must work hard on the structure. To put it bluntly, they need to reduce weight as much as possible.
But weight reduction involves high-end aviation materials with superior indicators. This thing can only be provided by the entire earth for no more than two slaps, and a considerable part of it is because of Bombardier. Brazilians cannot buy it even if they want to.
As a result, the entire erj-140 series regional passenger aircraft project was in trouble. Seeing that a huge amount of research and development funds were about to be wasted, the Brazilians finally couldn't sit still. The Brazilian Aeronautics and Space Administration took the lead and formed an expert team. , began to search for potential partners all over the world to see if they could help the erj-140 series regional passenger aircraft project overcome the difficulties.
¡°As a result, China, which they were originally not optimistic about, suddenly lit up the eyes of these desperate Brazilians because of a US$5 billion deal from Ascendas Group, and they seemed to find hope in it.
