Chapter 1729: Three cheating

"Mr. Qin, we also hope to have more cooperation, but our plan to jointly produce passenger aircraft with you has been delayed. You seem to be unwilling to maintain a cooperative relationship with us." John said, this McDonnell Douglas 82 airliner is his main promotion, the result? The Han people actually didn't buy it. Although their civil aviation department agreed, the Qin Guan in front of him has been doing things from it. Now that I have met with Qin Guan, will this matter have a turnaround?
That's why he heard that Qin Guan wanted to see him, so he ran over immediately.
They are at a disadvantage in the competition with Boeing. Therefore, they have to pay attention to the market of Han. The economic development of Han is so fast, the demand is huge.
Can I cooperate with Han Chinese? Produce our passenger plane!
"Of course I support our cooperation. I have been advocating that only cooperation can achieve a win-win situation. Now we and Grumman have a very happy cooperation." Qin Guan said.
Hearing Qin Guan's words, Old John immediately became excited: "President Qin, that's great, can we start further negotiations on the McDonnell Douglas 82 passenger aircraft project?"
"McDonnell Douglas 82?" Qin Guan was taken aback, and then said: "When did I say that I would support the McDonnell Douglas 82? I mean, we can produce our Yun-10 passenger plane together. This is what competes with Boeing. The most important model. Your McDonnell Douglas 82 airliner, I am not optimistic."
what? Hearing this, Old John was taken aback for a moment. What is your luck? That's a copy of Boeing 707. Boeing doesn't pursue intellectual property rights. It is because everyone is a friend. You still want to sell it to us and let us produce it?
Why do we produce your airliner?
If we produce, then where does Douglas' face go? Have we become an OEM manufacturer?
Old John even got angry in his heart.
"Yes, it is our Yun-10 passenger plane." Qin Guan continued to explain: "This is the most advanced passenger plane we have developed. Its electronic system is advanced, and the overall reliability is very high. Moreover, IMHO, expensive. Fang’s three-engine airliner will definitely be eliminated by history. If you are willing to listen to my statement, then I can go on."
Although Qin Guan’s judgment was difficult for Old John to accept, Qin Guan is now a famous one. Many of his predictions are correct. He accurately grasps the pulse of the times and has a long-term vision, so , Now that Qin Guan put his heart to his heart like this, Old John could only suppress his anger and continue to listen to Qin Guan's narration.
"The appearance of the three-engine airliner is a product of a certain historical period. We know that when the jet civil aviation era just entered, the four-engine large airliner was expensive; the dual-engine airliner was not reliable enough, and only then came the three-engine airliner. Is popular."
This reliability is mainly a standard of the FAA. After a single engine fails, it only relies on one engine to reach the alternate airport within 60 minutes. In this way, in the 1960s and 1970s, three-engine airliners began to become popular.
However, look at the actual effect. Except for the Boeing 727, which is still better, the other three-engine airliners are all scams, and they are simply cursed. Among them, the Douglas DC-10 is one of them. A typical representative, it actually dropped 13 during its entire life cycle, and the total number was only more than 400. More than 1,500 people died. Look at the later Boeing 737MAX. If it dropped two, it became a negative example. No one dared to fly.
A three-engine airliner is a curse of disaster. It is caused by many reasons. For example, double-engine or four-engine can be directly hung on both sides of the wing, but the third-engine takes into account the deflection moment. One must be placed on the central axis of the aircraft, usually on the vertical tail.
Compared with hanging the engine, this layout is extremely troublesome to maintain, and it is even more difficult to disassemble and replace. When the engine needs to be replaced with the development of technology, the designer will sadly find that he wants to A bigger engine was inserted, and the vertical tail had to be redesigned, even a half of the rear fuselage.
Especially for the DC-10, not all three engines are behind, but two of them are hung under the wing. Because the space behind is too small, it is still a wide-body airliner. Such three engines will never fit behind. In this way, The three engines are not on the same plane. If there is a problem with the engines on the rear vertical tail, it is better to say that if one of the two fronts explodes, considering the actual aerodynamics, trim and control torque, take the flight control of the 70s At the system level, the aircraft will immediately fall into a terrible yaw, and it will not be saved at all. The pilot does not rely on technology, but luck.
Third hair is even more cheating.
Even if it is the current trump card of Douglas, DC-10, this is because the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) cancelled the "60-minute limit" for three-engine aircraft, otherwise, their aircraft would not be able to obtain an airworthiness certificate.
Now, if Qin Guan wants to persuade the other party, of course he has to be justified.
"We know that technology is constantly improving. Now, the overall reliability of engines and aircraft is getting higher and higher. We believe that this single-engine failover time can definitely meet the requirements, not to mention 60 minutes or 120 minutes. , You should know that under the same technical conditions, twin-engines are cheaper and more fuel-efficient than three-engines. Therefore, three-engine airliners will be in an increasingly embarrassing situation. In terms of safety, they are no better than four-engine airliners. However, the dual-engine passenger aircraft, our current Yunshi, although it has four engines, the cost is still not high, and it is cheaper than your three-engine passenger aircraft. Therefore, Yunshi must have more advantages than your other passenger aircraft. If you can occupy the future market, please consider it more."
The old John's face that Qin Guan said was pale, and he would definitely not admit it: "President Qin, look at it, we will defeat Boeing. Our Douglas airliner is the best."
Therefore, Qin Guan could only shook his head helplessly: "In this case, I have another request, can I buy some shares in your company? This is also a kind of cooperation."
Buy your own shares? Old John has a smile on his face: "The shareholders of our company will probably not withdraw their capital. If you want to buy it, then buy it from the market. We welcome you to hold our shares. This shows, You are very optimistic about the prospects of our company."
