Take Off My Aviation Era

Chapter 354: Windfall

, The fastest update to take off the latest chapter of my aviation era!

Hearing this, Evans quickly picked up the newspaper, and a huge headline came into view: "Let's wait and see: The world's most advanced drone Zeus-3 will equip Italy."

An uncontrollable smile immediately wafted across Evans's face, and then continued to look through it. The headline of the next newspaper was even more exaggerated: "Zeus UAV, Europe's New Symbol of Leading the World."

Evans still wanted to look down, but it turned out that he didn’t know French, so he shook his head disappointingly, put the newspaper on the desk, and smiled at Owen: “It seems we made the right bet this time. ."

"Yes!" Irving was also very excited: "I really didn't expect Zhuang to give us such a big support."

Evans smiled more happily, got up and poured Owen a cup of coffee, and then filled a cup of coffee himself, and took a sip before saying: "I said a long time ago, Zhuang is a good and reliable person. When we made airplane models, I knew he was a good man."

"Yes!" Irving nodded in agreement, but sighed with regret in a blink of an eye: "It's a pity that we can't use the engine produced by the Ascendas plant in accordance with the current European law. I have to say it is a pity."

After hearing this, Evans's face also appeared helpless.

They want to replicate the success of H Company, but because of their personalities, Evans and Owen do not have the same calculations as Liszt and Lindeman. They just want to take off the factory by relying on them. The product makes a little money in Europe. After all, if you have nothing to do all the time, you will have a fart. It is better to find something to do.

So Evans and Owen’s expectations are simply to be a middleman and make a difference. The upstream materials, intermediate manufacturing, and even the model are not chosen at all, as long as they can buy and sell. That's it.

In this regard, Owen wrote very clearly in his personal letter to Zhuang Jianye. What they did not expect was that Zhuang Jianye not only responded in time, but also gave them many suggestions. The most important point is to understand the use of Europe’s most aviation products. And current laws of sale.

I don't know, this look really shocked the two of them. I really did not expect that Europe has extremely strict regulations on aircraft production, sales and use.

Fortunately, most of them are manned aircraft. There are not too many hard and fast regulations in the field of drones. With the technical strength of the Ascendas plant, there should be no problem, but there is one thing that makes Evans and Irving a headache.

That is, in terms of avionics and engines, European regulations are very dogmatic, that is, products that must meet the safety qualification review of the European Aviation Regulatory Commission can be approved for use, otherwise they will not be sold in the European market.

For this reason, the two went to the Federal German government agency in charge of aviation to inquire, and hired a lawyer to propose a legal explanation to the European Community. After some tossing, the final answer from the European Aviation Safety Committee was:

Due to the particularity of drones, aircraft and avionics can be allowed to use parts and finished products suitable for unmanned flight, but the aero engine must be implemented in accordance with the current European flight safety standards.

To explain it in human terms, Europe has no previous experience with drones, and I don’t know what to do, so the standards for avionics and flying machines can be relaxed and you can do whatever you want; however, the aviation engine must be issued by the European Aviation Safety Commission. Only if the certificate of airworthiness is allowed to be used, otherwise it will not be discussed.

As a result, the D-30AT turboprop engine developed based on the D-30 combusting turbine power unit, which was to be installed on the Zeus-3 UAV, was excluded from the Ascendas Plant.

Because the D-30AT turboprop engine wants to be sold to Europe along with the Zeus-3 UAV, it must obtain the European Aero Engine Airworthiness Certificate.

The process of obtaining the airworthiness certificate is simple. The problem is that Europeans like to pick bones in eggs when doing this. They can’t wait to find the virus on the product with an electron microscope, and then say that your engine virus exceeds the standard, which may harm Europe. Safe, pass your product as it should.

There is no way. After all, the airworthiness certificate has been thrown away from the high-sounding safety reasons, and it is also an important means for Europe and the United States to raise the entry barriers for the aviation market and to combat aviation manufacturing outside Europe and the United States.

After all, in the current world, Europe and the United States are still the world’s largest market and also the most high-end market. Whether it is a private jet used by the rich, a large passenger jet used by civil aviation, or a fighter jet used by the military, each one is valuable. An average country buys more than a dozen planes. In contrast, in Europe and the United States, ordinary aviation companies often buy more than one hundred or more than one hundred, let alone countries that don't need money.

Therefore, European and American aviation giants place great importance on the European and American markets. Not only do they kill dogs internally, they are also very vigilant externally. They use all available methods to exclude potential competitors. Airworthiness certificate is their most important thing. Important means.

In the name of safety, build a barrier to entry of a state of change, and then refuse with confidence: "It is not that we are not optimistic about your product, but for the safety of the people. I am sorry, take it back and change it, work hard, and come on. , I am optimistic about you!"

Then... as soon as it changed, it became bankrupt.

Others don't understand the twists and turns inside. Isn't Zhuang Jianye, who has lived for two lifetimes, not sure? Zhuang Jianye knows how many losses the domestic aviation industry has suffered in this respect in the previous life, not to mention that he is not allowed to waste more time in order to snipe H Company.

So the whole machine failed, so I immediately replaced the B scheme and decisively abandoned the D-30AT turboprop engine~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and replaced it with the U.S. Honeywell company that was originally used by the Ascendas plant's new drone verification machine. The power is 428 kW low power version of the TPE331 small turboprop engine.

The reason for choosing this engine is that this engine is used in the prototype of the Raytheon-3 UAV's new unmanned verification machine at the Ascendas Plant, and the engine and several derivative models are developed by Honeywell in Europe. The company’s specially-approved production line uses this engine on several small European-produced aircraft, so it has long obtained the aero-engine airworthiness certificate issued by the European Aviation Safety Commission.

In this way, Thor-3 was officially born.

As for the control and avionics system, Qin Hongjun’s aviation computer research has already figured out the supporting system of Discovery-1, so Zhuang Jianye will give it to domestic production if it can be produced in China, and let the actor company in the company if it cannot. Look for alternative production companies with similar technologies worldwide.

Then re-integrate in Europe according to the structure given by Ascendas Factory.

With such a busy schedule, Zeus-3 instantly became a breakthrough in traditional production methods, realizing initial global production, and a brand-new manufacturing model of global foundry. On the contrary, the overall cost was reduced by 28%, which was an incredible windfall.
