Chapter 1133 Is Aimed at the Kingdom of David!

Of course, Kasore's words were just blurted out in extreme shock.

And with a little bit of self-deprecation——

After all, the words he said before were still ringing in his ears, but he was severely slapped in the face by the reality in front of him.

Fortunately, at this juncture, no one can bother to think about these details.

Regardless, having the siding pre-assembled correctly is a good thing for everyone.

According to this efficiency, the production speed of the back structural parts of the early warning aircraft can be more than doubled, thereby saving several months and avoiding falling too far behind the progress of the David Kingdom.

Soon, amid waves of exclamations and cheers, the paving machine completed all the planned paths and accurately "embedded" all the skin units on several long longitudinal girders.

Although the bandages used for clamping will need to be removed later and the overall strength will be further strengthened, the shape of some of the aircraft bulkheads can already be seen in this way.

Specifically, this section is finished with pre-attached siding that has a notch in the lower right corner.

That is the space reserved for installing phased array radar.

This is also the most obvious difference in body structure between this aircraft and general business jets.

Several engineers gathered around the pre-connected frame again and controlled the crane to slowly lower the formed product.

As for Bain, who was standing next to Kasore, his eyes were already shining:

"Director, I want to learn this."

"Ah?"

The former was still in a state of emptying his mind after a mixture of shock and ecstasy. After hearing the sound, he turned his head in confusion.

Bain thought that the former did not understand what he meant, so he quickly explained:

"I mean, this pre-connection process is very good... If it can be used in the production of Rafale F2, then the production capacity problem we are facing now will be alleviated a lot."

After the M88-3 engine test was completed, the French Navy and Air Force quickly launched their respective replacement plans, preparing to unify all old models such as F8F, Mirage 2000, and Mirage F1 into Rafale B/C and Rafale M.

Coupled with purchase orders from Egypt and Brazil, the total production volume will be no less than 300 aircraft.

It is definitely a big challenge for the new Toulouse factory that has just been completed and put into production.

In fact, before Kasore came here this time, Bain had been losing his hair because of this matter.

But facing the eager eyes of his old colleagues, Kasore couldn't help but look embarrassed.

In order to save some face for himself, he has always said that he needs to communicate with the "design team".

But I didn't say that the design team is all Chinese.

so……

Shut up, I want to learn too.jpg

However, Bain did not know this situation and just continued to say:

"In addition, the demand for fighter jets and business jets is not huge after all, but I asked specifically before that the backlog of orders from Airbus next door is thousands... If we can use this pre-connection process on passenger aircraft, It may even be possible to eat the cake of the mainline passenger aircraft market..."

Compared with the huge scale of the civil aviation industry, the business of Dassault Aviation is indeed child's play.

In fact, Toulouse is said to be an aviation industry cluster, but when several other clusters are tied together, they are not even half as big as Airbus.

It is impossible not to be jealous.

Casore sighed leisurely and said:

"Due to the process model, this technology can currently only be used on pure metal materials. However, Rafale M and Airbus aircraft have a large proportion of carbon fiber, so the accuracy of the calculation results cannot be guaranteed... If it is forcibly applied, the result will be I’m afraid it’s really the same as before…”

He said this, but he began to silently calculate in his heart whether he should steal lessons from Huaxia or directly introduce Huaxia into cooperation.

The problem with the former is that even though Dassault's design department had sufficient information, it still took about a year and a half to barely understand the wing structure designed by the Chinese for the Falcon 8Z.

This pre-connection process is not within the scope of exchanges between the two parties. It will be difficult to achieve results within four or five years just by stealing it.

But if you choose the latter, there are also risks.

Airbus provides design and production, and China is responsible for providing key processes.

What about Dassault?

He can only play the role of matchmaker.

As long as the other two parties are not as individuals, they can leave Dassault alone and do it themselves.

But if they do nothing, the Chinese will realize the value of this technology sooner or later.

With the speed they are entering the European market, it will only be a matter of time before they get involved with Airbus...

This dilemma gave Kasore a headache.

In the end, he had no choice but to put aside his distant worries and deal with the things in front of him first:

"Everyone, we will process this part of the prefabricated siding as soon as possible. The customer is still waiting for urgent use..."

"..."

After some twists and turns, Kasore realized that he had not informed the Chinese side of the good news.

So I quickly found the correspondent who was forced to work overtime, and re-sent the situation after changing the steps to Liang Shaoxiu, together with a photo of the semi-finished product that was only short of final processing.

…

At this time, Chinese time has also come to evening.

But Liang Shaoxiu had no intention of leaving the office.

By now, no matter how much he regretted not sending a liaison officer back to France with Casore, it was already too late.

I had to sit still and wait for news from France.

He is very clear about the efficiency of the fully automatic skin laying machine. Regardless of success or failure, he should be able to see the clues within a few hours.

"Even a Frenchman wouldn't just leave work and leave under such circumstances, would he?"

After getting up and pacing for an unknown number of times, Liang Shaoxiu began to curse with resentment in his heart.

Fortunately, at this time, a familiar rhythm of footsteps came from the direction of the corridor...

"Mr. Liang!"

Before anyone arrives, the sound has already arrived:

"It's solved, everything is solved!"

A few seconds later, Marin appeared at the door of the office with every button of his shirt unbuttoned.

Although Liang Shaoxiu had confidence in Chang Haonan's level before, when the result really settled, he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart.

He tried his best to suppress his overly exaggerated expressions and movements. Only the obvious curve of the corners of his mouth revealed the turmoil in his heart...

"Let me see!"

Ma Lin thrust a folder into Liang Shaoxiu's hands:

"The report from Mr. Casore is that they have completed the preliminary pre-connection of the B7 wall panel, and the entire production process will be completed the day after tomorrow at the latest!"

The latter quickly opened it.

As usual, the first page is just a few words explaining the situation, and then there is an attached photo.

It is not difficult to see that it is still the pre-connected frame just now.

The same skins and girders as before.

But this time, the connections between the units were airtight.

If the first report hadn't still been on his desk, Liang Shaoxiu would have even thought that the huge gap two fingers wide was a figment of his imagination...

Especially after placing the photos in the two reports together, the visual differences are even more obvious.

"It has to be Mr. Chang..."

Liang Shaoxiu couldn't help but sigh:

"Any time you make a move, you will reach a height that is difficult for others to reach..."

After being responsible for the research and development of multiple early warning aircraft models, he once believed that although his overall level was definitely far inferior to Chang Haonan, when it came to aircraft design and manufacturing, relying on the experience accumulated over the years , maybe there shouldn’t be much difference.

But the current facts show that although Chang Haonan has left the field of complete machines for many years, his skills have not retreated at all...

Fortunately, Liang Shaoxiu had a good attitude and quickly regained his balance:

"Marin, after you go back, check the production and assembly data of the next B8 wall panel. After making sure there is no problem, send it to Dassault."

"good!"

Marin nodded, and then added:

"In addition, Mr. Liang, what Mr. Casore means is that if we rent the Beluga transport aircraft from Airbus, we can transport all the prefabricated sidings to us at once, but that aircraft is too eye-catching, so he Prepare to ship the products in batches on A340 cargo planes..."

After listening to this, Liang Shaoxiu briefly calculated the project schedule:

"In this way, you can ask Dassault to inform customers in the United Arab Emirates that we plan to go there between June and July to complete actual machine testing!"

This sudden instruction completely surprised Marin:

"June to July?"

After a while, he realized:

"Isn't it easy to coincide with the test time of the Kingdom of David?"

Casore has said before that IAI's G550 "Sea Eagle" early warning aircraft is planned to be tested in May-June.

It is impossible for both sides to compete on the same stage, so it will be a bit troublesome if the schedules overlap.

"The Kingdom of David?"

Liang Shaoxiu sneered:

"I am targeting the Kingdom of David!"
