Take Off My Aviation Era

Chapter 600: Made in China

It's no wonder that Song Changzheng couldn't say a word, because it was indeed a bit wrong for the airline to select the regional passenger plane.

At that time, the 50-seat regional airliner derived from the advanced light transportation platform of Ascendas Group has been determined and recognized by the domestic expert group, hoping to compete for orders for 14 regional airliners from domestic airlines.

As a result, after evaluation by several airlines, they believed that Ascendas' regional passenger aircraft took off later than expected, and adopted a large number of new technologies. The maturity of the aircraft has yet to be verified, so it was kicked out in the first round of review.

Turning to foreign countries, hoping to introduce a mature and reliable regional airliner model.

When I got here, nothing was criticized. Even Ascendas itself defaulted to the airline's statement. After all, the advanced light transportation platform at that time was just a self-developed project of Ascendas. Many things were imperfect and normal, and they were not favored. What's more, not to mention this is not the first time that an advanced light transport platform has hit a wall. It has been hit by the Air Force and the Navy before that.

If those airlines can introduce a popular aircraft type, while maintaining their advantages, it is okay to ensure that operating costs are maintained at a low level.

As a result, I don't know which way the leaders of several airlines choose, so many regional passenger planes are left unnecessarily, and they actually chose the bae-146 produced by British Aerospace Corporation.

An alternative model with less than 100 seats but using four turbofan engines.

It is important to know that in the operation of aircraft, engine maintenance costs account for more than 40% of the overall maintenance cost. Because of this, airlines prefer dual-engine long-range passenger aircraft, because compared to other aircraft types, this type of aircraft has low maintenance costs and high efficiency.

This is also an important reason why when the aero engine made a breakthrough, double-engine wide-body passenger aircraft such as Boeing-777 and Boeing-787 swept the market, while the big four-engine large passenger aircraft of the Big Mac collapsed.

The fact is that the maintenance cost of the two is not in the same order of magnitude.

The same principle applies to regional airliners. The dual-engine regional airliner is definitely more cost-effective than the four-engine. The result is that such a thing that even entry-level aviation rookies knows, the leaders of several airlines actually did not. Seeing the same, I ignored it without warning.

That’s all, four engines are four engines. The key is that the bae-146 regional airliner is not a best seller. The production and supply of spare parts are not sufficient. Some key parts require special customization and are completely imported. This further pushes up the operating cost of bae-146.

Of course, this is not bad. After all, when it was introduced in the mid-1980s, the trade relationship between China and the West was not bad. However, by the end of the 1980s, the international situation was turbulent. Although British Aerospace still fulfilled the contract, it did not supply parts. Intermittently, resulting in a very low bae-146 intact rate, which once again pushed up operating costs. Not to mention, air accidents caused by failures occurred from time to time, which resulted in the entire fleet being in a semi-grounded state.

From the introduction in 1986 to the half-grounded state in the early 1990s, the whole process was only five years old, and the fleet that had been exchanged for huge amounts of money was just like this, which naturally attracted many attentions.

So the leaders of several airlines retreated and retreated. Song Changzheng took over as the general manager of United Airlines under this background.

However, their leaders came up because of the previous adjustment storm, and their overall business philosophy became conservative, and they began to tighten their investment in regional airliners, focusing on the operation of the mainline airliners that made no money.

Anyway, the domestic aviation market is not perfect. Many places don't even have an airport. Regional passenger planes are not very useful. Why bother to do so?

What if one is not good and is put in a pit?

Yes, the leaders of the previous airline were indeed pitted. They were indeed looking for a cost-effective regional airliner. They have selected many models worldwide, but the price is not ideal. At this time, British Aerospace ran over with bae-146 and reported it to domestic airlines at an incredibly low price.

After that, I need to say that cheap goods are not good goods, and good goods are not cheap. Although it cannot be generalized, there is still some truth in some aspects, especially aviation products. The so-called "you get what you pay for" is really not just talking.

"Xiao Zhuang, what about this, you let me say, I can't say anything, you also know that because of the bae-146 incident, the aircraft purchase right was taken back by the Civil Aviation Administration of China. You let me buy the aircraft... …"

I don't know how long it took, Song Changzheng finally sighed, spreading his hands and opening the skylight to say something brightly: "I really don't have this right."

"Old Song, don't take it to your heart. I just feel aggrieved and say a few words of anger."

Seeing that Song Changzheng became serious, Zhuang Jianye smiled, just like what he said earlier, he picked up the kettle and helped Director Song pour a glass of water. He smiled undiminished and said, "I'm also doing the purchase of airplanes. Just fight for it and achieve success. It doesn't matter if I fail. We can't hurt our harmony, right?"

Song Changzheng was a little startled. He asked who had brought up such a serious topic just now, and the posture of raising the teacher to question the crime, he almost went directly to the central government to make a case.

As a result... just like that?

"My heart is not good, Xiao Zhuang, just tell me if you have any bad ideas, don't be surprised to toss me this old man." Song Changzheng didn't have the thought of playing a roller coaster with Zhuang Jianye, so he straightened out the words.

Zhuang Jianye didn't care, he smiled: "You can't do the master of the whole machine, can the accessories work?"

"Accessories?" Upon hearing these two words, Song Changzheng's eyes suddenly lit up with the artificial intelligence activated by the electric current: "Zhuanger~~ Can you get accessories?"

"You can first say if you can be the master."

"Yes, yes, that's great." Song Changzheng nodded like garlic, then lowered his body, looking at Zhuang Jianye like a chrysanthemum: "Zhuang~~ Where did you get your accessories? Are they European and American originals or Canadian or Brazilian Imitations?"

"Domestic take off!" Zhuang Jianye didn't hesitate~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Song Changzheng heard this and looked at Zhuang Jianye up and down like a ghost for a while before exclaiming, "You made it yourself?"

"Why? Still disgusted? Don't tell me, you have time to pick and choose the planes that are hurrying."

"No, I said Xiaozhuang, those things are not ordinary gadgets, they are airplanes. If they are not dealt with properly, they will kill people!" After Song Changzheng understood, his head shook like a rattle, airplane accessories. This thing can’t be a joke. Even if it’s difficult to import accessories and the maintenance rate of the fleet is poor, you can’t fool around in this regard. What if something happens?

Seeing Song Changzheng's resolute attitude, Zhuang Jianye wanted to say something, so he heard a rush of footsteps outside the door. Obviously something had happened. After all, it was during the exercise. I was not afraid of ten thousand but just in case. Looking at each other, Song Changzheng, who was close to the door, stood up and pulled the door open, blocking an officer and asking, "What happened?"

The officer knew Song Changzheng and said anxiously: "A civil airliner has failed. We have to prepare for landing at the airport. We must prepare quickly."
