Chapter 763 Satellite Manufacturing Capabilities

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The JJ-7MAX did not get off to a good start, which was also expected by Zhuang Jianye. Although it surpassed the Russian Yak-130 in terms of technology and progress, and was one generation ahead of the T-46 that was abandoned by the US military, the JJ-7MAX was not mature as a whole.  .

    If this were not the case, Zhuang Jianye would not have to go to Thailand with the JJ 7max to try his luck. Wouldn't it be more worry-free and labor-saving for the domestic air force to purchase and equip large-scale equipment?

    The problem is that after the Air Force conducted flight tests on the JJ-7max, although it gave a high evaluation to the potential of the JJ-7max, it was concerned about the complex structure of the wing, its unprominent maintainability, and the lag of the fly-by-wire control system.  Not satisfied with the defects.

    Because of this, even though the performance of the JJ-7MAX on paper has reached the entry-level level of third-generation aircraft, and it has replaced the J-7 and become a transitional model before the Air Force is fully equipped with third-generation aircraft, the Air Force still has not purchased it on a large scale due to various shortcomings.

    I just bought 2 of them symbolically as prototypes for research and testing.

    Zhuang Jianye certainly knows that it is difficult for the JJ 7MAX to be competitive with the current situation. Putting aside the engine, the wings alone are too complicated. After all, the army is not a civil aviation company and can get first-class maintenance at a comfortable airport. On the battlefield  The situation is changing rapidly. Combat aircraft not only have to adapt to normal airport takeoffs and landings, but also simple field airports.

    In this area, the current JJ-7MAX is a bit delicate at first, because the complex wings lead to too many parts. It is fine at an ordinary airport, but a simple field airport will definitely increase the workload of aircraft maintenance.

    In addition, there are also many difficulties in manufacturing such a complex wing, so the next step is for Ascendas Group to simplify the overly complex wing based on the existing JJ-7MAX.

    Zhuang Jianye is not in a hurry about this. After all, airplanes are just like cars. They are not instant hits when they come out. They are all perfected bit by bit through years of improvements and become classics that transcend the times.

    Boeing¡¯s 737 airliner, McDonnell Douglas¡¯s F-15, Lockheed Martin¡¯s F-16, and Sukhoi¡¯s Su-27 are all like this.

    So I¡¯m not afraid of changing. What I¡¯m afraid of is that my head is pounding and I don¡¯t have the perseverance to persevere.

    In terms of perseverance, Ascendas Group is the best in domestic performance. Apart from that, all the wd series aero-engine models nowadays are not modified bit by bit based on the old models. This is the case with complex aero-engines and trainer aircraft.  Of course it's a no brainer.

    What's more, this time the JJ 7max did not get off to a good start in Thailand, but it also achieved zero breakthroughs. At least His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bought one for his dog son. From this perspective, Ascendas Group is still much better than other manufacturers.  Cut.

    In comparison, Chujiao 6pro is much luckier. After all, the technical difficulty of turboprop aircraft is much lower. Therefore, this aircraft has not only been recognized by Thailand, but also the neighboring countries of Myanmar and Laos.  Teach 6pro to show favor.

    Because these two countries not only regard the Chujiao 6pro as a training aircraft, but also regard it as a low-cost ground attack aircraft.

    The reason for this is very simple. In addition to its excellent aerial flight performance, Chujiao 6pro is also very balanced in other aspects.

    ? ?Jijiao 6pro Captain: 12.6 meters

    Wingspan: 10.5 meters.

    Machine height: 4.2 meters.

    The empty weight is 3823 kg.

    Maximum internal fuel capacity: 1290 kg.

    Maximum take-off weight: 7865 kg.

    Maximum external weight: 1800 kg.

    Practical ceiling: 14,000 meters

    Maximum range: 2317 kilometers.

    Equipped with a wd-42ml turboprop engine produced by Ascendas Aviation Power, with a maximum power of 956 kilowatts and a shaft horsepower of 1,300 horsepower.

    To some extent, this data is no less than that of some second-generation combat aircraft. Especially in terms of bomb load, it is already much higher than the MiG-21 series equipped by many countries. Coupled with the maximum range of more than two thousand kilometers,  With a long range and a take-off weight of less than 8 tons, the Chujiao 6pro is just like a small aerial truck, which is enough to complete a variety of ground strike missions.

    ¡°Tengfei Group has also equipped a variety of ammunition combinations and attack mode options for this purpose, from conventional bombs to laser-guided bombs, from ordinary hoisted aircraft cannons to large-caliber rocket nests, which can be improved and installed at any time according to customer needs.

    Of course, these things are advanced and flexible, and there are still many aircraft of the same type to choose from around the world. There is another extremely important reason why Myanmar and Laos prefer the JJ 6pro instead of other aircraft, and that is the price.  .

    The lowest selling price of the same type of aircraft in Europe and South America is US$8 million, while the JJ6pro only costs US$6.99 million. Even if it is upgraded to the top version that can use laser-guided bombs, it only costs US$7.68 million.

    In addition, the cost of using a turboprop aircraft itself is not high, and various spare parts areThe price is not expensive, so Chujiao 6pro is very attractive to small and financially weak countries like Myanmar and Laos.

    After all, separatist forces have long been entrenched in Myanmar and Laos. The cost of one sortie of jet combat aircraft used by the Air Force may be worth a day's combat consumption of a battalion.

    On the other hand, the JJ 6pro costs less than half of a jet aircraft, and its combat effectiveness even exceeds that of most old-fashioned jet combat aircraft.

    Because of this, when Myanmar and Laos learned that Thailand had purchased 72 Chujiao 6pros, they immediately arranged relevant personnel to contact Ascendas Group. After several rounds of test flights, they immediately sold them to Ascendas Group in the form of compensatory trade.  Order.

    ??Among them, Myanmar purchased 24 JJ 6pros using agricultural products such as rice, rubber, and wood.

    Laos purchased 12 Chujiao 6pros using raw materials such as wood, iron ore, and copper ore.

    The purchase unit prices of the two countries are slightly higher than Thailand¡¯s unit price of US$6.99 million, which are US$7.24 million and US$7.09 million respectively.

    The main difference is that while retaining the functions of the trainer aircraft, Myanmar and Laos have added the ground attack performance of the Chujiao 6pro. Especially for Myanmar, Tengfei Jitu not only customized air-ground targeting equipment for them, but also installed it under the aircraft.  A retractable photoelectric probe with a certain infrared night vision function is installed, giving Myanmar¡¯s JJ 6pro preliminary night combat capabilities.

    "However, compared with the gratifying results achieved by Chujiao 6pro, the aerospace business that Zhuang Jianye had high hopes for has fallen into disgrace, with no progress at all.

    ¡°As a result, Zhuang Jianye was very depressed. The scenes he had done at the new phone launch conference a few days ago were just staged, and no one even bought in.

    But think about it, the concept of rocket recycling is still a bit too advanced. After all, the people of the world in the 1990s were not as crazy as they would be a few decades later. That ppt can attract a lot of investment just by fooling around. After all, it is  People who have experienced the Cold War are very rational in their behavior.

    But the problem is that they are all rational, what should they do with their own KPI?

    Just when Zhuang Jianye was finalizing the contracts with Myanmar and Laos, he was packing his luggage in the hotel and thinking about how to explain to the factoring executives when he returned home tomorrow, so as to convince them that Ascendas Group's aerospace business is not just for supporting services, but also has its own unique business  While buying good products, there was a sudden knock on the door. Zhuang Jianye stood up and opened the door. When he saw it was Gu Jingyou, he asked, "What's the matter?"

    Gu Jingyou looked a little strange: "That's right, Mr. Zhuang, Merlinz, the director of the McDonnell Douglas trainer technical team, sent someone to contact you and said he wants to see you."

    "Meet me?" Zhuang Jianye was a little surprised. The two parties didn't know each other at all. Why did Merlinz see him? But the next moment Gu Jingyou's words made Zhuang Jianye want to immediately spread his wings and find Merlinz: "Yes, he saidhe  Said I would like to inquire whether we have satellite manufacturing capabilities."
