Chapter 854 The Real Inside Story

9 Chapter 854 The real inside story

On Christmas Eve, Ban Xiu flew from the capital to Buhai. Fan Wubing had no symptoms for half a month.

Fan Wubing, who was so busy that he took time to pick up Shen Ying at the airport, unexpectedly found that following her were Minister Zhang from the General Armament Department and some military experts. The lineup was quite large. Gorgeous.

"How did you get together?" Fan Wubing asked in surprise.

Shen Ying pulled down her shaggy fur hat and wore a pure black shiny fur coat, which made her skin as tender as jade. She smiled at Fan after hearing this. Wu Bing said, "Uncle came over to help you recruit technical talents. Otherwise, why would he leave the headquarters at this time?"

Minister Zhang laughed. Go down with your team of experts and kill them one by one. Introduced to Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing shook hands with the experts in surprise and asked his assistant to quickly arrange a pick-up vehicle. After all, he did not expect that Minister Zhang would bring more than a dozen people over, so he only drove two cars.

"No need to go to so much trouble, just find a minibus." Minister Zhang waved his hand.

Fan Wubing immediately objected, "That's not possible. These experts you brought here are all precious. How dare I neglect them?"

Among the introductions of netizens. Only then did Fan Wubing realize that the experts in front of him had at least the rank of colonel. They are all aerodynamic experts or pneumatic experts within the military. They are all talents who have gone through military transport aircraft research. They can be regarded as national treasures no matter where they are. How can he let these people squeeze into a minibus?

Besides, my headquarters is not too far away from here. I can call him back and he will be here in a short time. It's just that he and I can find a place to rest first.

Fortunately, the environment at the airport is pretty good, with a total of more than 20 people and a dozen bodyguards. Everyone found a relatively large hall, sat there for a while, and drank some tea. Minister Zhang then talked about the original intention of coming here.

"Mainly because I'm afraid that you won't be able to figure it out? The water here is deep and shallow, so my uncle came here specifically to give me some guidance.

of.

Shen Ying leaned next to Fan Wubing and said to him.

"Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work." Fan Wubing hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Minister Zhang and Shen Ying, but he didn't quite agree in his heart. The General Armament Department was established not long ago.

How much do you know about the large aircraft project?

Minister Zhang seemed to see the doubts in Fan Wubing's heart, so he said to him. "Although I am not engaged in aviation, I am quite familiar with the general environment at that time. From the perspective of a bystander, I can see this matter more thoroughly. The failure of the year was actually due to strife among departments. Caused."

"Oh? Then I need to ask my uncle for some advice." Fan Wubing immediately came to listen to the ministerial leaders' gossip, especially such high-level gossip, which is obviously very rare.

So Minister Zhang took advantage of everyone's free time to chat and told Fan Wubing the ins and outs of this.

Since Yun 1 was dismounted. During previous discussions on civil aircraft projects, the aviation industry department would come up with a strong argument that the development of civil aircraft should start with regional aircraft and then transition to mainline large aircraft.

Mainline aircraft generally refer to passenger aircraft with more than four seats and a maximum range of more than 1,000 meters. No one in the aviation industry denies that mainline airliners are the leading product of the civil aircraft industry, but some people have always advocated using regional aircraft as an entry point for the development of the civil aircraft industry.

Although there is some truth to this statement, it cannot withstand the torture of one fact: Didn't China once develop a transport that could soar into the sky? Even from the perspective of learning the technology of flying a large aircraft, wouldn’t it be easier, faster and more effective to start learning from an old platform than from a regional aircraft? Boarding a mainline flight does not affect boarding a regional flight at the same time. If one concludes that there is no market for autonomously operated large passenger aircraft before the aircraft has even flown, it can only be said to be fearful, but there is no evidence that a market will not be found.

"Actually, the real reason why we advocate flying regional aircraft first is not that it is more difficult to operate mainline aircraft independently than independent branch aircraft, but that compared with large aircraft that are in a head-on collision with international oligarchs, regional aircraft cooperation and joint venture projects are easier to negotiate and more cost-effective. It is easier to obtain international airworthiness certificates, it is easier to purchase foreign technology, and it is easier to achieve political achievements," Minister Zhang explained to Fan Wubing. "Even if you master the technical ability to fly a small plane, you will not easily demonstrate the technical ability to fly a large plane, because the technical nature between the two is very different. Theoretically, a large plane is not as good as a small plane Simple amplification. Because many aerodynamic phenomena and structural mechanical properties are subject to similarity ratios.”

Fan Wubing nodded slightly. He understood this. It made sense. As the saying goes, from quantitative change to qualitative change, although they looked similar in appearance, they were actually completely different.

This is just like once the mass of a star is enlarged to a certain extent, a planet will become a star. Of course, planets and stars are two completely different concepts, that's the reason.

Large aircraft are generally suitable for using high bypass ratio turbofans because of their low exhaust emissions, high propulsion efficiency, good economy, low fuel consumption, and low noise. In addition, the design of a large aircraft includes integrated fuel tanks placed within the wings, which can carry dozens of tons of fuel, including an airtight cabin that takes up the entire length of the fuselage, high-power hydraulic and electrical systems, and a large-capacity pressurized air conditioning system. Including anti-structural fatigue, anti-lightning strike and anti-bounce. Di 6 made a safe emergency landing and other safety measures. In order to allow a large aircraft carrying a huge weight to land safely and effectively alleviate the impact of the aircraft body and the ground during an impact, the design of the landing gear of a large aircraft is completely different from that of a small aircraft. at last. The flight test technology, strength and static test requirements for large aircraft are also much higher than those for small aircraft.

Of course, some regional aircraft are small aircraft and some are large aircraft. But what needs to be explained through the above comparison is. Large aircraft have specific design issues and constitute a specific technical field. Therefore, the technical ability to operate mainline aircraft will not naturally extend from the ability to operate branch line aircraft, but must be developed through the process of operating large aircraft.

However, aviation industry authorities have always been opposed to the old project.

"There are only two reasons why an industrial competent department treats a proud project in this industry like this: First, the flight of the first flight was carried out outside the system of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, which offended an industry under the planned economic system. The competent authorities have no power over this industry. Second, Yunhua has taken a path of independent development and independent design, while the leading thinking of the aviation industry authorities is exactly the opposite. Why is an industry's leading department opposed to independent development and independent design? ? To answer this question, we need to analyze the historical path of this industrial exhibition and its impact on industrial culture. Minister Zhang said: "The Chinese aviation industry was founded with the assistance of the former Soviet Union, and the practices at that time were quickly copied in China. The production factories of the former Soviet Union produced aircraft designed by the former Soviet Union according to the drawings of the former Soviet Union. The establishment of China's aviation industry started from the production factories. Since the aviation industry cooperation agreement signed between China and the former Soviet Union did not include support from the former Soviet Union for Chinese aircraft design Content. Therefore, the former Soviet Union only taught China how to produce, but not how to design.

The historical path of establishing a production system first has produced long-term organizational inertia, a tradition that emphasizes production and neglects design. At that time, China was facing threats from the United States and urgently needed to equip aircraft. This kind of pressure cannot help but make the aviation industry authorities focus on mass production of aircraft as quickly as possible.

Organizationally speaking. Focusing on production will result in more administrative leaders being promoted from the production department. Coupled with the political atmosphere of distrust of intellectuals in the decades after the founding of the People's Republic of China, designers were in a position with little say in the aviation industry. Once this organizational inertia is established, the idea and efforts to establish a design center lose momentum.

The aviation industry administration even put forward the slogan that design serves production, which actually eliminated design. When technical forces are used to maintain the production of former Soviet aircraft, technical work focuses on craftsmanship, forming a priority order of production, craftsmanship, and design.

"To this day, China's aviation industry has not yet emerged from the system established more than half a century ago. The Ministry of Aviation Industry is the only industrial administrative department among the seven industrial ministries that does not have a ministerial-level research institute, and the aviation industry has gradually formed a long-term accumulation of Industrial culture, that is, does not believe in independent design. Minister Zhang said to Fan Wubing.

"In that case. How did the luck come about?" Fan Wubing felt that this question was a bit contradictory.

Since the Ministry of Aviation Industry does not have design capabilities, how did Yunji come up with it?

"The transportation was carried out in Shanghai. It was actually outside the management of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, so it was successful. Xiao." Minister Zhang replied with some helplessness.

"Ah?. Fan Wubing was a little surprised after hearing this. He got rid of the leadership department, but succeeded?

"In fact, it is indeed true." Minister Zhang himself felt that this matter was a bit ridiculous. However, as an insider, he felt that it was still necessary to objectively analyze the events of that year for Fan Wubing. "I have not received any notification from the Ministry of Aviation Industry." There are constraints, so it can only be done by luck."

Someone has said that vested interests in the traditional system are the biggest enemies of innovation.

Technological progress is not a purely technical issue, but an organizational and institutional issue. Since the technology development of China's civil aviation industry has been almost stagnant in recent years, why was the Y1 before that technologically successful?

In fact, it is because of a simple fact that Yunjiu is the only project in the decades-long history of China's aviation industry that is implemented outside the direct jurisdiction of the aviation industry administrative department.

Technically speaking. The key to the success of the Yunji project is that the project is coordinated by Shanghai, which frees the design and development of the Yunji from the constraints of the aviation industry administrative department and its imitation technology culture. Therefore, Chinese designers and technicians can carry out a series of Innovation, even in a historical stage like the Cultural Revolution, institutional breakthroughs can have a huge impact on technological progress, then. If China's civil aviation industry wants to turn around in the 21st century, it must make a breakthrough in the system.

After listening to Minister Zhang's words, Fan Wubing stroked his chin and thought that as the chairman of the aviation manufacturing group company, he should be able to directly kick out the administrative department and work hard.

Bar?

Or, in less than ten years, you will be able to fly on your own big plane.

The third update is here today. I bow to thank everyone for their support. I will continue to beg for monthly tickets.
