Chapter 1775: One less person

In fact, the McDonnell Douglas 82 airliner is also dual-engined with two engines at the rear. This method has advantages. For example, it is far away from the passenger cabin and close to the fuselage, which will not cause serious unbalanced thrust when one engine fails.
But at the same time, this layout is also flawed. For example, because the engine occupies the lower space, the flat tail has to be placed on top. The heavy flat tail is high above, and the structure of the vertical tail needs to be strengthened; the control mechanism of the flat tail needs to pass through the vertical tail. Structure, complexity and weight have all increased.
Of course, this layout also makes it not easy to replace the engine. Once a new fuel-efficient engine is available, it is not easy to replace it. For the civil aviation department, their pursuit of low fuel consumption has never stopped.
In fact, the historical MPC-75 project was also a way of having two engines at the rear, and even a propeller fan engine with quite high noise, but now, Qin Guan is familiar with history, this layout is absolutely inappropriate, see. In later generations, almost all passenger planes have become this kind of wing suspension layout, so he has always insisted on adopting this scheme, and every time the model displayed is like this.
Is McDonnell Douglas 82 still used? Regardless of this Qin Guan, it is Lisa's business. If you can make money, you must continue to make money, but McDonnell Douglas 82 has no future. This MPC-75 passenger aircraft project is his own future choice.
Therefore, here, Qin Guan is positioning, this passenger plane will be placed in Douglas, and this will bring new prospects to the entire project!
After all, up to now, this cooperation project between MBB and Han Guo has not been fully taken over by a suitable factory. It has only transferred a large number of talents to carry out detailed design together with Hans.
In fact, compared to Yunshi, this project is of greater significance to Han. In the final analysis, Yunshi is also a surveying and mapping copy project, but MPC-75 is completely positively developed! Starting from the initial design and proceeding little by little, if the Han Guo team is cultivated, it is quite useful. In fact, in the future generations of parallel time and space, when working on the C919, many people came from this cooperation with Han Si Guo s project.
Qin Guan has been positioned and can be put in Douglas Company! At this moment, Gerhard's face, which was full of sadness, suddenly became cloudy.
"President Qin, are you saying that this project can be handed over?"
Qin Guan shook his head: "No, no, this project is a project between us and you. Douglas will only be a manufacturer in the future. The design will still be carried out by us."
Qin Guan thought of Williams again. If he went to Douglas when he was designing now, then Boeing might know the specific progress of its own project. The production will be produced by Douglas, but Speaking of design, it is up to both of us to design.
Isn’t that the same as not saying? Gerhard felt that his little heart couldn't stand it.
"Our current transportation ten is undergoing further improvement." Qin Guan said: "The project we are cooperating can be implemented in accordance with this high standard. First of all, it is equipped with complete and modern avionics equipment. Completely vitrified cockpit design."
Qin Guan started to sell his set again. If he wants to sell the plane, he must have a selling point, right? What is your selling point? Of course, this kind of aircraft is high-tech and safe!
Only high technology can be safer. Just look at our aircraft control system. All are computers. This is the latest technology!
Moreover, the cost is not high, this glass cockpit is one of the trendsetters.
What Qin Guan said, the other party's eyes were also bright, yes, this project is their latest development, how can it gain a foothold in the international market? There must be a selling point!
"As for the engine problem, we have been able to produce qualified engines. I suggest that we can use our engines directly."
Four engines provide power to Yunshi, and two engines are enough to promote the current MPC-75 project. This was also mentioned in the past, but it was not developed at that time, but it is no problem now. The new engine has already started trial installation, and take-off is just around the corner.
"Mr Qin, can I go and see it?" Gerhard asked.
Gerhard no longer worries about the engine problem, but Qin Guan still made him think about the glass cockpit. Now, hearing his worries, Qin Guan smiled: "I I want to see it too, let's go together!"
Therefore, Qin Guan took Gerhard and the whole delegation to Huating by helicopter. When they arrived, Mr. Ma received the news and greeted them happily.
"Everyone came to see our cockpit?" Ma said with a smile: "The real cockpit improvement, we are still studying, but now, we have completed the cockpit model, let's go and take a look."
Even with the complete technology of the glass cockpit of a fighter jet, it is necessary to study carefully if you want to change the passenger aircraft to the glass cockpit. Therefore, Mr. Ma led everyone to the front of the nose model.
This is what the front cockpit looks like. As long as you see it at first glance, you can find that this cockpit is completely different from the previous ones. The complicated instrument panel in front of it is gone and replaced by the LCD screen. In front of each pilot, there are three large-area display screens, only the position between the two pilots, there are three most basic instruments, which can be regarded as a mechanical backup.
This is definitely cross-age, especially, what else did he see? In the middle of the two pilots, there is an embedded keyboard and a scroll mouse. Is this thing used to fly a plane? Isn't it for playing games?
"In fact, if you first see our cockpit, you will definitely feel that our display interface is the most powerful. In fact, the most powerful is its fully digital autopilot and advanced aircraft management system. With this system, we no longer need random engineers. In other words, our aircraft can be reduced from a three-person driving system to a two-person driving system. This is also for safety reasons. In fact, only A pilot can also complete the entire flight mission."
what? By doing this, can one less person? Gerhard was overjoyed. In this case, airlines would definitely welcome it. You know, a large part of their expenses is the pilot's salary!
