    Schumann¡¯s rude behavior immediately attracted the attention of others, who all cast doubtful glances.

    Upon seeing this, Schumann immediately regretted it. He discovered it when he discovered it. How excited were he? Wien and Moston were more accomplished in management than in technology. The staff who came with him also had more in aviation technology than production.  Manufacturing capacity.

    Unlike him, in addition to a master's degree in aviation design, he also has a master's degree in mechanics. Because of this, Schumann is not only familiar with the basic principles of aircraft, but also knows more about its manufacturing process.

    This is Schumann¡¯s advantage over the other two.

    "If you calmly encounter some unexpected good things in this helicopter assembly workshop, quietly write them down, then turn around and ask Zhuang Jianye to buy them, it will be a big mistake.

    In the end, Schumann's mentality was still arrogant, and he felt that Zhuang Jianye's claims were exaggerated. Coupled with the old machine tools he had seen before, and his inherent experience, this idea was deepened a lot.

    Because of this, when he discovered that the mechanical arm imported from Germany was equipped with stress wave riveting equipment, it was normal for him to exclaim in disbelief under the huge contrast.

    The problem is that everything else is fine, in this workshop at this moment

    "Stress wave riveting? I seem to have heard of it somewhere!" Before Schumann's thoughts could calm down, the keen Wien immediately grasped the key point. Not to be outdone, Moston nodded and responded: "It looks like the American style.  Luhmann and Boeing have applied this technology."

    As he spoke, Moston's eyes immediately widened, he looked at the robotic arm in front of Schumann in disbelief, then turned his head to Zhuang Jianye and asked: "Mr. Zhuang, is it possible that you imported this technology from the United States?  "

    "Yes, Mr. Zhuang, as far as I know, the Americans have applied this technology to their most advanced fighters, bombers and large passenger aircraft. Therefore, the Americans are not open to their closest European allies. Are you  How did you get it?"

    ???????????????????????????????????Although Wolff Aviation Maintenance Company is headquartered in the United States, nearly half of the shares are European capital, and Wien himself is not an orthodox American, but an Irishman.

    Because of this, when he learned the basic information about stress wave riveting from his staff, his interest was no less than Schumann's, so Wien simply made it clear that stress wave riveting was really high-end.

    In fact, this is indeed the case. What Schumann and Wien said is indeed correct. As a subversive existence of the riveting process, stress wave riveting is really not an ordinary high-end one.

    How high-end is it?

    The American F-14 fighter jet is the first aircraft type to apply stress wave riveting technology, which solves the problem of connecting the thin titanium alloy skin and high-strength titanium alloy reinforcement ribs on the F-14 fighter jet.

    Because ordinary pressure riveting and hammer riveting methods can easily damage the skin with a thickness of less than 0.5cm during the riveting process, causing micro-cracks, which in turn affects the safety of the aircraft. Because of this, the F-14 fighter jet at that time  The contractor Grumman Corporation of the United States innovated the riveting process and used stress wave riveting, which solved the problem of connecting the thin titanium alloy skin and other reinforcing rib materials in one fell swoop.

    (So ??the F-14 fighter jet is not only a legend in aircraft, but also a legend in the field of aviation manufacturing.)

    Later, Boeing introduced this technology and applied it to the riveting of Boeing 747 wings in the 1980s.

    By the mid-to-late 1980s, the aircraft models using this technology were even more impressive. The main contractor was Northrop and Boeing was the sub-contractor for the B2 stealth bomber. Due to the high standards of the US military for the B2, Boeing wanted to  Without even thinking about it, I took out the stress wave riveting and used it on the riveting process of the B2's rear central fuselage and wings.

    The Soviet Union has also widely used stress wave riveting technology. This is mainly because the development of the Soviet military aviation industry has made the traditional riveting process unable to meet its needs. Therefore, the Soviet Union has been investing heavily in basic technology, and the stress wave riveting process is convenient.  is one of them.

    Mainly used in the production and manufacturing of Tu-160 strategic bombers, Tu-22m bombers and MiG-31 fighters.

    Europe is far behind the United States and the Soviet Union in this regard. Since there is no need to build such high-end fighter jets and bombers in the military, Europeans do not think stress wave riveting is good when general riveting technology is sufficient.

    However, after their Airbus company has established a foothold in the world's large passenger aircraft market with the A300 and A320 passenger aircraft, it is preparing to enter the twin-engine and four-engine large wide-body passenger aircraft market, and then launch the A330 and A340 R&D plans to prepare  When benchmarking Boeing 777, Boeing 747, dc-10, dc-11 and other aircraft models.

    But suddenly I discovered that the original riveting process was used in titanium alloys, composite materials, and ultra-thinThere are unavoidable defects in the skin, mixed connection of multiple materials, etc. Only then did we realize that stress wave riveting is not ordinary.

    It is impossible to develop it from scratch. The A330 and A340 have already been launched. In order to seize the market, Airbus can¡¯t wait to launch these two types of aircraft on the market in the next second. It will destroy Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. How can it bear the thought of leaving aircraft and other equipment?  ?

    It was too late to develop, so they had to buy it. The Soviet Union abandoned it without even thinking about it. The reason is very simple. Lao Maozi¡¯s equipment highlights strong and durable minimalism, so most of the stress wave riveting in the Soviet Union is manual or automatic.  It¡¯s not that there aren¡¯t any, but all of them are outrageously single-functioning.

    This is unacceptable to Airbus, which hopes to improve efficiency and reduce labor costs.  (European labor costs are very high.)

    So we can only choose the United States.

    When the letter of intent was sent, American aerospace manufacturing giants such as Boeing and McDonnell Douglas took a look and realized, my old enemy wants to buy American hoes to dig up America's ancestral graves. Is this okay?

    It must be delayed, and if it can¡¯t be delayed, the price will be raised. It¡¯s best if the price is so high that even Airbus will be confused.

    With two big troublemakers, Boeing and Airbus, trying to make trouble, one can imagine how difficult it was for Airbus to introduce stress wave riveting equipment from the United States. The two parties started talking about it for two full years in 1988, but there was no discussion at all.  Find out why.

    This matter is not a secret throughout Europe, and is even regarded as a shame in the eyes of some radical Europeans, who feel that this is a malicious suppression of the European aviation industry by the Americans relying on their own technological advantages.

    So at this time, whoever can come up with usable automatic stress wave riveting equipment and return to Europe will not only be able to make several times the profit, but also become a hero in the European aviation industry.

    A perfect combination of fame and fortune.

    Although Wien and Moston are engaged in aviation maintenance, it does not prevent them from getting involved in other businesses. For example, the agency and maintenance business of professional aviation manufacturing equipment is also an important source of income for them.

    So when they discovered that the automatic riveting equipment in Xiangzhou used stress wave riveting technology, the two shrewd people immediately realized that there was an opportunity to make big money.
