991 The U.S. is about to issue airworthiness clearance for the Y-10
"If you don't agree, you don't have to get angry, Lao Qi is also in a hurry. Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai and regretted calling Xie Kai to that meeting.
Anyway, he doesn't agree, he opposes it, and it won't be like this.
Xie Kai looked at Zheng Yucheng, shook his head and said, "Everyone is in a hurry, but there is only so much money." Up to now, the airworthiness license of the Y-10 has not been obtained, and the Y-10 is facing the production of a prototype of a wide-body passenger aircraft, which requires a lot of funds. ”
After the Y-10 project was taken over from the 404, although the development was smooth, it could not be put into commercial use.
If he can't get the airworthiness license, Xie Kai will pay for the five planes he ordered, which is a problem.
Unlike fighter jets, which require airworthiness permits, the fighter only needs excellent performance.
"There is good news from the U.S. side, as long as the new Y-10 does meet the standards, it will soon be able to get airworthiness approval. Zheng Yucheng said.
Xie Kai's eyes widened suddenly, will the U.S. government agree to issue a shipping license to the Y-10?
"Lao Bai, you haven't seen you for a long time, have you? He has been in the United States for most of the year, just to get an airworthiness permit. However, there are also conditions on the U.S. side......"
"What conditions?" Xie Kai knew that things were not as comfortable as he imagined.
"With an American engine, the safety performance needs to be evaluated by their team of experts. Otherwise, the Y-10, which could have been delivered, would not have continued to be improved. Zheng Yucheng said.
Xie Kai's brows furrowed.
Sure enough, the airworthiness permit of the Americans was not as easy to get as imagined.
"Can you take it down next year?" Xie Kai asked.
In just over a year, the honeymoon period between China and the United States is over.
As long as you get an airworthiness license from the United States, it is much easier to get an airworthiness license from Europe.
Not to mention grabbing orders from Boeing and Airbus, at least the Y-10 can be used to execute routes to Europe and the United States.
"It won't take so long, Qin Fei's Y-10 will be delivered before the Spring Festival, and the avionics system is all using European and American standards, and it is also imported, and the engine is still the original design, imported from the United States. ”
"A few days ago in Qin Fei, Mr. Cheng didn't tell me about it. Xie Kai held back his excitement.
At the same time, two turbofan-8s originally supplied to the Y-10 have been installed on Boeing-707 planes allocated by the Civil Aviation Administration, and the experimental work is about to end, and the next step is to directly fly on four turbofan-8s on Boeing-707.
If it weren't for the Y-10 with such achievements, Xie Kai would not have been too opposed to expanding the dock at Hudong Shipyard.
The expansion of multiple docks at once requires at least 400 million yuan, not including supporting production lines, port machinery and other equipment needed next to the dock.
"I just got the news today. The US Aviation Administration only approved it yesterday, and at the same time, airworthiness inspectors will be arranged to inspect Qin Fei's assembly site in the next few days...... There are basically no problems with the data obtained in the course of a large number of test flights. Zheng Yucheng said with a smile.
He laughed, and the folds on his face became more.
After all, he got the Y-10 back.
"Is it so easy to get an airworthiness permit for the Americans?" Xie Kai felt a little incredible.
What he learned was that it would take several years to get an airworthiness permit.
"No, we've been working on this for a year and a half. Zheng Yucheng shook his head and said.
Xie Kai didn't know about this, he originally thought that the Y-10 team would only apply for domestic airworthiness permits.
Unexpectedly, the Civil Aviation Administration of China has not issued an airworthiness license to the Y-10 for not meeting the requirements, and the United States has good news first.
"If the U.S. side is loose, the European Aviation Safety Agency will be easy, they are similar to the United States. Zheng Yucheng said.
"What about China?" Xie Kai couldn't help but ask.
At the beginning, the Y-10 did have great safety risks, and the safety service life was not very high.
The second one produced, that is, the first one used for test flights, only flew for more than 300 hours, and the welds of the main frame beams of the fuselage already appeared some hidden cracks that need to be discovered by using inspection equipment.
But now, with the big press, the production materials and production processes have been effectively improved, and the overall test flight has been thousands of hours, and if the airworthiness license is not issued, it is somewhat unreasonable.
"There's no news, whatever! The demanding European and American Aviation Safety Agencies have issued airworthiness licenses, and they won't issue them when the time comes, hum ......" In the end, Zheng Yucheng sneered.
Xie Kai couldn't help laughing.
Originally, because of the idea that Hudong Shipyard wanted to become a big fat man in one bite, Qi Zhiyuan wanted to tilt the focus of the entire base to the field of naval equipment manufacturing, but his bad mood also became better.
After obtaining the airworthiness permit, the future of the Y-10 will become brighter.
Whether it is a business aircraft, a civil airliner, or a transport aircraft, it will not be uncompetitive at all.
European and American airlines do not buy, at least flights to European and American countries are not.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China will not issue airworthiness permits? When the time comes, Europe and the United States will get it, and this will be fun.
"What are you happy about? Since the beginning of the meal, you have been smiling, secretly having fun, and selling weapons again? Or is someone coming to the door to prepare to be slaughtered?" Mo Qi was a little puzzled by Xie Kai.
Xie Kai started eating, and from time to time he was silly and happy.
Mo Qi really didn't know what made Xie Kai so happy, he didn't hear any good news today, and there were even a lot of disturbing things.
Kova Rubi's goods have not yet left, and Hudong Shipyard wants to get more financial budget for the next year, so he doesn't dare to tell Xie Kai about these things.
"Daughter-in-law, do you know that the Y-10 will be able to fly all over the world in no time. Xie Kai said proudly.
Mo Qi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't understand what Xie Kai meant, "Isn't the Yun-10 also flying all over the world in normal times?
What's there to be happy about?
Didn't you sit on the Y-10 and fly around the world before?
"It's different. In the past, we flew around on the Y-10, but we just sat on it, and when it came to commercial use, we could see our Y-10 in all countries. Xie Kai said excitedly.
Even, the grand scene of the Y-10 flying on various routes around the world has already appeared in my mind.
"How is it possible? If you want to fly to Europe and the United States, don't you have to have airworthiness permits issued by the United States and the European Aviation Administration?" Moqi has been running around with Xie Kai for so long, and she still knows this, seeing that Xie Kai is still proud, she doesn't believe it, "The Y-10 hasn't even obtained a domestic airworthiness license, and now it can't be used for civil aviation transportation, and it can't be ...... as a cargo plane."
The flight of the Y-10 has been going on, and it has not even obtained a restricted airworthiness certificate.
In the past few years, flights have always been in the name of test flights, and they have been running around the world.
It can't be used for commercial flying.
Even the transportation of goods, that is also in the name of test flights.
Therefore, Moqi did not believe Xie Kai at all, and the Y-10 could not be used commercially without airworthiness permits.
"Because the Americans are ready to issue an airworthiness license for our Y-10, and the European side is also ready to issue it. Xie Kai said in a smug voice, seeing Mo Qi's incredible expression on his face, Xie Kai continued, "Daughter-in-law, do you think this is something to be happy about?"
"It's definitely worth being happy, Brother Kai, do you want to drink and celebrate?" Moqi's eyes lit up.
That's a good thing indeed.
Xie Kai and the base management committee have paid for the entire Y-10 project, and the huge Y-10 research team has been working day and night, and there are no holidays in normal times, so they can finally see hope.
"Whatever you drink, it's better to have a shot to celebrate. Xie Kai picked Mo Qi up and walked towards the bed.
Mozzi was speechless, is this the way to celebrate?
Nothing was said all night.
Regarding the breakthrough progress of the Y-10 in the US Aviation Administration, Zheng Yucheng did not report to the domestic aviation administration.
The domestic aviation administration has always pointed out various problems with the Y-10, but now that there are no safety problems, they have begun to talk about problems such as no energy saving, high flight costs, and no environmental protection.
As long as they want to find a reason, they can find a lot.
Zheng Yucheng and others waited until the time came for the European and American Aviation Administration to issue the airworthiness license, and let the Civil Aviation Administration come to issue the airworthiness license by itself.
McDonnell Douglas's aircraft had a lot of problems, and it didn't even go through too many inspections before it got an airworthiness license.
The news is only known to the senior personnel of 404, and they have been negotiating various cooperation with the Tanzanian delegation led by Kovarubi in the past few days. As for when the global shipping company will come, Zheng Yucheng and they don't care.
Therefore, Zheng Yucheng is not too concerned about the matter of Hudong Shipyard.
As long as the Y-10 obtains the airworthiness license, everything is easy to say, and it is not so laborious to sell, and the energy should be put into the certification work of the Y-10 first.
What's more, the inspectors of the US Aviation Administration will be in China in a few days.
Once the review is passed, and finally some information is added, everything is not a problem, and within a few months, the airworthiness certificate can be obtained.
"The U.S. requires avionics systems and other systems to meet U.S. standards......
"As long as they agree, then import from the United States!" Xie Kai also became arrogant at this time.
The engines are all American, and they don't mind giving them a little more profit.
As long as you have an airworthiness license from the United States, you don't have to worry about the end of the honeymoon period between China and the United States, and there will be no domestic aircraft that can carry out the route from China to the United States.
If the Americans had known that in a year they would have taken the initiative to break off China's cooperation, and they would never have issued airworthiness licenses.
"I'm afraid that when the time comes, they will use this card for us to ......," Zheng Yucheng was a little worried.
He is now like Xie Kai, who is unwilling to purchase key core components from abroad for his own production, for fear that when there will be an accident, foreign countries will refuse to export.
"The domestic ones are still in accordance with the old rules and use them ourselves. If you don't fly to Europe and the United States, it is not a problem to fly to the Soviet Union, to Pakistan or even to Africa and Latin America!"
