So after Liu Cong briefly introduced the basic properties of h-zb800 composite materials, he suddenly changed the topic: "As Mr. Djokovic said, at the beginning of the year, the Soviet Union's boss helped us establish the aviation industry. Without the help of the Soviet Big Brother, There is no achievement like ours today, let alone the glory of Ascendas Group."
As he spoke, Liu Cong paused, and Zhuang Jianye's textbook-level acting demonstration appeared in his mind. A kind of emotion called gratitude appeared on his honest face, and he continued: "We have an old saying in China, which is called the kindness that drips from the water. Quanxiang reported that the predecessor of our Ascendas Group, the 23rd Factory of Yonghong Aviation Manufacturing Plant, was originally established using the equipment provided by the big brother of the Soviet Union. We at the Ascendas Group have always been deeply grateful for this kindness.
Because of this, if Mr. Djokovic and other Russian colleagues have any requirements, as long as our Ascendas Group can help, it is absolutely our duty to help. Not to mention other things, but in terms of high bypass ratio and high thrust turbofan engines, Although our Ascendas Group cannot keep up with the leading level of Europe and the United States, we are still not far behind them in some aspects. "
As he spoke, he pointed at the wd-60ml turbofan engine hanging on the test bench in front of him, and said proudly: "Take the wd-60ml turbofan engine in front of you as an example. Of course, the exact model should be called wd- 60ml-22, due to the application of composite fan blades and a unique S-shaped aerodynamic layout, the overall number of blades is reduced to 22, and the bypass ratio is further increased to 10.
As a result, compared with traditional high-bypass ratio turbofan engines such as D-30kp, the engine's fuel consumption is reduced by 38%, the noise is reduced by 41%, the weight is reduced by 27%, the overhaul interval is increased by 300%, and the continuous thrust is 11.2 tons. The emergency thrust can reach 12.5 tons"
Liu Cong became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, but Djokovic and others became more and more frightened. Although the maximum thrust was the same as 12.5 tons, the D-30kp turbofan engine was obviously not comparable to the WD-60ml-22. , especially in terms of fuel consumption and overhaul interval, wd-60ml-22 almost presses the d-30kp turbofan engine to the ground and rubs it hard.
In fact, let alone the d-30kp turbofan engine, the cfm-56, which is now widely used on Boeing 737 and A320, is comparable in terms of indicators, and even surpasses it in individual performances. Not to mention, But the composite fan blades on the first-stage fan are one to two generations ahead of the CFM-56 series turbofan engine.
In other words, with its epoch-making fan blades, the wd-60ml-22 turbofan engine is enough to join the ranks of the world's advanced aviation engines.
what does that mean?
As long as China is willing, it will soon be able to produce a civilian passenger aircraft of the same level as the Boeing 737 and A320. By then, with China's low labor costs and high production efficiency, although it will not be able to shake the status of the Boeing 737 and A320 in a short time , but it takes a matter of minutes to overthrow the Tu-204.
You must know that in the past few years, the Ascendas Group has relied on its self-produced trj-500 regional jets and the erj-140 series of regional jets that it later cooperated with Brazil to penetrate into the five stans in Central Asia.
Among them, Kazakhstan, after experiencing these two essentially identical regional airliners, immediately retired all 32 Tu-154 and 44 Yak-42 aircraft owned by the state-owned Almaty Airlines and replaced them with those produced by Ascendas Group. The 88 70-seat ERJ-145s are used to carry out air passenger transportation tasks in China and neighboring countries in Central Asia.
As for longer-distance passenger services, they are all operated by the Boeing 737ng series.
In this way, Almaty Airlines has reduced its operating aircraft models from the previous six to two, reducing costs by 60% compared with before. At the same time, it has become the first airline in the CIS countries to completely eliminate Soviet-made civil aviation aircraft. .
This move by Almaty Airlines is a huge benefit to aviation manufacturers in Europe, the United States and other regions. You must know that the former Soviet republics, including Central Asia, have always been regarded by Russia as its sphere of influence. Not to mention its political and military influence, economically Russia still maintains the economic circulation system within the CIS that originated from the Soviet era.
On the one hand, this is driven by the internal connections of the industrial chain left over from the Soviet era. On the other hand, it is also driven by Russia¡¯s internal hope to maintain its geographical advantages.
As the most high-end product in the industrial category, the aviation industry plays an important role in maintaining the industrial chain and strengthening geographical connections. This is why Russia is almost unable to open the pot and has to tighten its belt and spend money to maintain the importance of the Tu-204 passenger aircraft project. reason.
There is no way. The Tu-154 and IL-62 of the CIS countries, which originated from the Soviet era, have very poor safety. In addition, they are in disrepair and are aging. They are on the verge of retirement. At this time, if the Russian aviation industry If they cannot stand up, the Soviet-made aircraft in the CIS countries will be completely swept away by countries outside the region.
??By then, Russia's influence will inevitably be severely weakened, so the Russians must hold on to the Tu-204 even in difficult times.
But the problem is that Russia is not the Soviet Union after all. A shock therapy session almost put him in shock. Even if he sees the current development trend, he is still like a terminally ill old man, watching beautiful women dancing around the pole, and his old heart My heart was pounding with excitement, but as a result, I felt like there was no response from below.
We can only watch Almaty Airlines unscrupulously replace Soviet-made civil aviation aircraft with foreign brands. That¡¯s all. The problem is that this demonstration effect is still spreading exponentially in the surrounding areas. The country of Uzbekistan Airlines are also preparing to follow suit and replace some Yak-42s with ERJ-145s produced by Ascendas Group.
Even Azerbaijan, located in the South Caucasus, sent an inspection team to visit China to evaluate the situation of the ERJ-140 series regional airliners.
All these have sounded the alarm to the Russian aviation industry, but they have not focused too much energy on Ascendas Group. After all, the majority of the profits of civil aviation aircraft are in large-scale aircraft above 80 tons. In other words, the Russians have not yet. Ascendas Group, which only makes regional airliners, takes it seriously and focuses on super giants like Boeing, McDonnell Douglas and Airbus.
I hope that my own Tu-204 can regain its strength and stabilize the basic market of the CIS, and it will not be too late to turn around and slowly deal with the small role of Ascendas Group.
As a result, when Djokovic gained an in-depth understanding of the wd-60ml-22 turbofan engine, he suddenly discovered that the small player in their eyes seemed to have opened his mouth and was preparing to launch an impact on the more tempting field of large civil aviation aircraft. .
Given Ascendas Group's previous market share in Central Asia, Djokovic and others can imagine that once the twin-engine single-aisle narrow-body mainline passenger aircraft equipped with wd-60ml-22 turbofan engine is successfully launched, Central Asia's five Gestan can immediately become the treasure of Ascendas Group.
As for the European and American airworthiness certificate, you can¡¯t fly other routes?
¡°Then what¡¯s the big deal? The two countries most closely connected with Central Asia are China and Russia. As long as these two countries are open, it won¡¯t be a problem. As for the people in Central Asia going to Europe and the United States, what should we do? Just transfer flights in China and Russia.
All in all, operation is not a problem, price is not a problem, and competitiveness is not a problem. Regardless of other issues, fuel economy and overhaul intervals have already surpassed Tu-204, a genuine oil tiger and troublemaker.
By then, what the Russian aviation industry will face will not be as simple as facing Airbus and Boeing directly, but a dangerous situation with strong enemies in front and pursuers behind.
