The cooperation between Shanghai Aircraft and McDonnell Douglas has not had any impact on the cooperation between COMAC and Dutch Fokker, in fact, for the senior management of the old fox, they are happy to see this situation, to some extent it can even be said to be hopeful, so for the Fokker F100 and the arrival of the Dutch, the Ministry of Aviation Industry attaches great importance to it, and the ministry sent a high-level team headed by Xue Song, deputy director @, to assist Chen Geng to receive the arrival of Fokker company.

Looking at the Fokker F100 plane on the runway that was slowly taxiing towards this side, Xue Song, who accompanied Chen Geng to greet him, couldn't help but say to Chen Geng: "Mr. Chen, this Dutch plane looks similar to McDonnell Douglas's MD-80." ”

"Well, it's really about the same," Chen Geng nodded, and introduced Xue Song: "Whether it's McDonnell Douglas's MD-80 or Fokker's F100, they are all typical aerodynamic layouts with a lower wing and tail crane engine and a high flat tail, and the cabins of both aircraft are 3+2 structures, but the F100 is one size smaller than the overall size of the MD-82, and it is no problem to say that the F100 is a small MD-80, you seem to think that these two aircraft are very similar, it is really normal." ”

Xue Song nodded again and again, and then asked, "What about these two aircraft...... Well, is there a reference relationship?"

Chen Geng understood what Xue Song meant, he thought about it, and replied very seriously: "It should not be, the predecessor of the Fokker F100: F28 was established in the early 60s, and the overall design details were announced in April 62, and the first flight was in 1967, and the design work of the predecessor of McDonnell Douglas MD-80: DC-9 also began in 1962, and the first flight was in 1965.

In terms of time schedule, there is no question of who copied the two aircraft, and it can only be said that under the premise of adopting the same technical development ideas, a similar aerodynamic shape was finally designed. ”

"Really?"

Xue Song's expression looked a little regretful.

"Hmm. ”

Chen Geng nodded.

"Mr. Chen," Xue Song suddenly lowered his voice and asked Chen Geng, "What do you think of Xifei's idea of preparing to develop a new H6?"

Well?!

Chen Geng glanced at Xue Song in surprise: "Xue Bu @ Chang, this question ...... Isn't that a good fit?"

Neither the thing being discussed in this question nor the time and place it is right now, is it?

But to Chen Geng's surprise, he suddenly found that the leaders of the Ministry of Aviation Industry around him had a tacit understanding and walked a few steps to the side, looking like they were deliberately making room for Chen Geng and Xue Song's conversation.

"It's just casually," Xue Song looked completely unaware of the nature of this matter: "Anyway, waiting here is waiting, right?"

Xue Song almost said directly to Chen Geng: Anyway, the two of us are idle now, so we should be regarded as chatting and bragging.

I believe you're a ghost!

But Chen Geng is not stupid, at this point, where does he still not understand, this Xue Song is simply "pretending to be stupid by order"?

It's just that Xue Song can "pretend to be stupid by order", but Chen Geng is not so kind, and waved his hand and said: "Xue Bu @ Chang, you are scolding me by this, what kind of plane do I know? Well, look, the plane is about to stop, let's get ready to go." ”

Alas......

Looking at Chen Geng, who was walking forward with his feet raised, Xue Song couldn't help but sigh: This Chen Geng ......

That's right, Xue Song is indeed pretending to be stupid.

The data of the AGM-86B/C and A/BGM-109, two series of long-range attack cruise missiles of the United States, which were both nuclear and conventional in the United States, investigated by the intelligence system and the foreign affairs system, really frightened the top leaders and many high-ranking generals of the military, and everyone did not expect that the Americans had played such a high-end game.

At the same time, the U.S. military's practice of transforming B-52, which has lagged behind the trend of the times and is waiting to be eliminated, into a large air precision strike weapon launch platform outside the defense zone -- after all, two B-52s can carry up to 40 AGM-86B/C cruise missiles at a time, and they can attack 40 key and core targets in the local area at once -- also made those who previously thought that bombers were slow and leisurely, and could only become live targets in the air under the conditions of modern warfare. It is completely necessary for you to develop a new model of H6 The leading cadres can't help but start to re-examine the potential of the H6 aircraft.

Xifei's proposal to reissue/develop a new H6 for H6 has also been highly valued: although our technical strength is still very weak, since cruise missiles are so fun, the Lun family wants it, the Lun family does not have it now, but it seems to have ...... in the future

The proposal of "building a large-scale airborne precision weapon delivery platform with an upgrade potential that will not lag behind for 30 years" mentioned in Xifei's proposal has finally received high-level attention.

However, in view of Chen Geng's understanding of US military equipment, after Chen Geng learned about the horror of the performance of the AGM-86B/C AND A/BGM-109 series of missiles, he had the idea of learning more about the most advanced and forward-looking military equipment research and development ideas of the United States through Chen Geng.

No one expected Chen Geng to be able to say anything about the core military secrets of the United States, but even if it was just a little theoretical thing, that would be very good, wouldn't it? That's why Xue Song "acted stupidly" this time, but he didn't expect that Chen Geng didn't mean to give face at all, which made Xue Song feel very disappointed.

..................

Seeing Chen Geng, Anthony Falk smiled like a flower, and walked down from this F100 quickly.

For this trip to China, the entire Falkland-United Aviation Technology Company attaches great importance to it, and Anthony Fokker personally led the team to ensure that the whole process is foolproof.

Speaking of the eighties and nineties and even the beginning of the next century, the word "admiring foreign countries" is unavoidable, but what many people don't know is that the sentiment of "admiring foreign countries" is not only in China, but in fact, it is especially especially in many foreign countries!

This is true even in a highly developed capitalist country like the Netherlands.

Previously, Falkland-United Aviation Technologies didn't take the Chinese market too seriously, and the cooperation with Chen Geng also held the mentality of "since there are fools who are willing to pay, then why don't Lao Tzu continue? What is the Huaxia market? Where birds don't, give it to him", but he knows that as the number one boss in the world's civil aviation field: McDonnell Douglas Company has also begun to enter the Chinese market, and cooperates with Huaxia Shangfei Company. After assembling McDonnell Douglas' state-of-the-art MD-82 aircraft in Huaxia, the Dutch mentality immediately took a 180-degree turn:

What the?

Americans are also optimistic about the Chinese market?!

Then there must be something wrong with our previous view of the Chinese market!

The prospects and future of the Huaxia market must be very objective, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for the Americans to bring their most advanced home models to be assembled in Huaxia...... That's it, that's right.

Looking at Anthony Falk, who was much more enthusiastic than before, Chen Geng secretly laughed in his heart.

After greeting each other, Anthony Falk warmly extended an invitation to everyone to get on the plane for the experience.

The leaders of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, Huaxia Aviation Materials Import and Export Company, and the airlines that were invited to come were curious about this aircraft, which was very similar to the MD-80 aircraft of McDonnell Douglas in the United States.

When I got on the plane, someone immediately said in surprise: "Huh...... From the outside, this plane seems to be a little smaller than the MD-80, but the space inside is similar to the MD-80. ”

"Well, yes, almost. ”

The other comrades nodded their heads, and their feelings were similar to that of this comrade: in terms of interior space alone, there was really almost no difference between the MD-80 that McDonnell Douglas had flown to China for everyone to experience.

Chen Geng smiled and introduced to everyone: "The reason why everyone feels this way is because the F100 aircraft jointly developed by our COMAC Group and Fokker Company of the Netherlands, like McDonnell Douglas MD-80, adopts a 3+2 seat layout, and in terms of fuselage diameter, F100 is only 5 cm smaller than MD-80, so it is normal for everyone not to feel it;

As for the actual ride space experience, the difference with the MD-80 is almost not felt, the biggest difference between the two aircraft is still in the length of the fuselage, the fuselage length of the F100 is 35.53 meters, and the fuselage length of the MD-82 that McDonnell Douglas is ready to assemble in Huaxia is 45.06 meters, and the difference in fuselage length between the two is exactly the difference in the number of passengers of these two aircraft.

Having said that, we believe that in the next 15 or even 20 years, for Huaxia, the MD-82 can only ensure sufficient occupancy by carrying out the transportation tasks of these core trunk lines such as the capital to the magic capital and the capital to Bingcheng, while the F100, a 100-seat aircraft, is actually relatively low in terms of the number of passengers and the requirements for operation. ”

The leading comrades of the Ministry of Aviation Industry and China Aviation Materials still have a conservative attitude towards Chen Geng's words, but the CEOs and vice presidents of airlines such as United Airlines, Air China, and China Eastern Airlines nodded their heads again and again, and they all thought that what Chen Geng said was very reasonable.

As direct practitioners of civil air transport, they are actually more aware of what kind of aircraft is suitable for China's national conditions, and for domestic routes, is McDonnell Douglas' MD-82 a good aircraft? Of course, there is no doubt about this, but the problem is that MD- 82 is too big, 172 seats is a great pressure for airlines: if the occupancy rate does not reach the profit and loss line, the airline will lose money, and even if the MD-82 is allowed to carry out several major domestic trunk lines, with their own air transport experience, I am afraid it is difficult to achieve 60% occupancy rate.

But if it is a 100-seat aircraft like F100, the same number of passengers can easily achieve a seat rate of 90% or even more than 95%, for airlines, F100 this level of civil aircraft, in fact, is the most suitable aircraft for the national conditions of this era.

There are already CEOs of civil aviation companies whose eyes are shining.
