Reborn 80s

Except for the engine, which is purchased from abroad, the rest of the Mot60 is basically domestically produced.

Mot60 purchases a propeller engine.

Nowadays, most civil aviation aircraft use turbofan engines. In the eyes of ordinary people, propeller engines are products of a backward era.

In fact, to a certain extent, there is no question of whether technology is lagging behind or not. The main issue is whether it is suitable or not.

Could it be that the technology developed half a century ago is no longer used now?

This is obviously impossible!

In fact, technology from a hundred years ago still plays a very important role today.

Can propeller engines be produced domestically?

Of course it is possible.

Since it can be produced domestically, why not use domestically produced engines?

One reason is that domestically produced engines are not economical, and another point is that Mot60 needs to obtain airworthiness certificates from Europe and the United States.

The United States is the largest aviation market in the world today. In addition, the U.S. aviation industry is now ranked first in the world, which naturally results in it having absolute say in the aviation field.

Without their airworthiness certificate, other countries would not recognize the quality of the Mot60 aircraft at all.

Mot60 successfully obtained European and American airworthiness certificates, and later obtained airworthiness certificates from other countries.

You can land at airports in most countries around the world.

If you do not obtain their airworthiness certificate, you will not be able to land at their airport.

If you can't land at other airports, then for the airline, what is the purpose of buying this aircraft?

There are also many international orders for Mot60, with more than a hundred units.

In addition to the Mot60, the Mot90 aircraft has also obtained European and American airworthiness certificates.

Europe and the United States now look down on the regional aviation market, and instead focus on the mainline passenger aircraft market.

Competition in the regional aviation market is so fierce that there are many companies around the world that can build regional airliners.

Samba's Xiba Aviation Industry, Canada's Bombardier, Thousand Islands' Thousand Islands Aviation Industry, Spain, etc.

Anyway, there are many companies around the world that can produce regional airliners!

However, there are currently only three aviation manufacturing companies in the world that can produce mainline passenger aircraft: Boeing, McDonnell Douglas and Airbus.

Of course, the former alliance was also able to produce mainline passenger aircraft, and it also produced the world's largest transport aircraft, the An-225.

It’s just that basically no one buys North Russia’s civil aviation aircraft now.

The price is cheap, but the usability is not good!

It often needs to be repaired.

I won't tell you if it needs to be repaired, but now there is basically no way to guarantee after-sales service.

It doesn’t matter if the product quality is low, make up for it with good after-sales service!

The sales volume of Mot90 overseas is much lower. Even in terms of price, Mot90 has an advantage.

However, as a new player, foreign airlines have not yet established recognition of Mot90.

It takes time to establish recognition.

Now Mot90 is operating a large number of domestic flights, which is undoubtedly a showcase.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, you always have to pull it out to see the effect.

Xidu Mota Aircraft R&D Co., Ltd. and Xidu Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd. are right next to each other. There is an avenue connecting the two companies.

It was a thoroughfare built specifically for the purpose of passing airplanes.

There is an airstrip at Xidu Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which can take off and land large civil aviation passenger aircraft and transport aircraft.

In normal times, this runway is also where test aircraft take off and land.

Because it is a testing machine, many unpredictable things may happen, so there must be a lot of safety measures.

For example, firefighting must be on standby every time the plane lands.

Chen Huaiqing came here this time, naturally not for Mot60 and Mot90.

Both aircraft have been finalized.

The main thing now is production and sales.

Especially sales.

Some elite sales staff were transferred from Mota Automobile.

In the past, we sold motorcycles and cars, but now we sell airplanes.

Don't worry too much about domestic sales, it's mainly international sales.

For the public, it is not enough for a product to sell well domestically.

You also need to sell well abroad.

If you can make money from foreigners, it must be a good thing.

This can in turn promote domestic sales.

However, there are relatively few companies that can achieve such achievements.

For example, Haier and Gree, these two companies are also selling quite well in overseas markets.

They are really skilled and have taken great care of the quality of their products.

Chen Huaiqing came here this time for the big plane!

Yes, big plane.

It is not a large civil aviation aircraft, but a large transport aircraft.

When the Mota Aircraft project was established in 1988, the large transport aircraft was a project initiated with the direct intervention of Chen Huaiqing.

Of course, although it is said that this is a project initiated under the direct intervention of Chen Huaiqing, it does not mean that he interfered randomly.

There is still market analysis.

As far as China is concerned, the demand for large transport aircraft will reach more than 100 aircraft.

In addition, this large transport aircraft can also be used as a civilian transport aircraft.

As far as Chen Huaiqing knows, in the future, express delivery companies will purchase aircraft one after another to speed up the delivery time of high-end express mail.

As for converting this aircraft into a civil aviation passenger aircraft?

It's a little bit more difficult, or maybe it's not necessary.

Even though passenger aircraft may be considered civilian, their technical standards are much higher than those of transport aircraft.

Mainly pursuing safety, stability and comfort.

Let’s just talk about this safety issue, which immediately stumped many aviation manufacturing companies.

Is it easy to build a large passenger plane?

Very easy.

If you just let the plane fly, basically any country with some industrial capabilities can handle it.

However, just being able to fly is not enough!

If a civil aviation aircraft is manufactured, it will naturally need to fly routes. Otherwise, what will be done with it?

To prove your own strength?

If you fly a route, you not only have to fly within your own country, but you also have to fly abroad.

If you want to fly abroad, you must obtain an airworthiness certificate from that country.

Now globally, just look at Europe and the United States.

They control the standards and repeatedly raise the standards for aviation airworthiness certificates, and then use this to suppress other countries' aviation manufacturing companies.

In the end, I messed up once and set the standard too high, and then I couldn't even reach it.

Other countries have small domestic aviation markets, and they must expand their aviation markets. Otherwise, the huge aircraft research and development expenses will not be recovered at all.

And in the face of the continuously improving aviation standards in Europe and the United States, many countries have gradually become helpless in developing the aviation industry, and have no way to develop at all.

Input and output are not directly proportional at all.

At this time, people will make a calculation and decide whether they should persist.

Most likely, I just gave up.

But China is different. Even if it does not rely on the external market, the domestic market alone can support a civil aviation aircraft manufacturing enterprise.

For example, after the development of Mot60 and Mot90, they were quickly purchased by domestic airlines.
