This quota has exceeded the huge export order of special aerospace equipment and technology to Pakistan, creating a new history for Ascendas Group in terms of exports.
???????????? If that¡¯s all, it doesn¡¯t matter. The key is that Lin Guanghua won such a large order without making Ascendas Group pay any price.
US$200 million is the cost of 120 wd-56ml turbofan engines and supporting special parts.
US$400 million is the purchase cost of 6 Thunder-120 long-endurance drones and 2 sets of special control equipment.
? ? 140 million U.S. dollars is the price of 80 units of wd-48j high-power turboprop engines.
The US$65 million is the technical service fee for Ascendas Group to undertake the research and development of the full digital electronic control system for the SPEI MK807 turbofan engine produced by Embraer.
US$1.2 billion is the total cost of the introduction of the Thunderbolt-120 long-endurance UAV final assembly production line by Brazilian Aerospace Industries.
In addition, the first $1 billion NB-233 3D printing equipment and technology upgrade costs were reached.
Brazil Aerospace Industry Corporation has brought more than 2 billion US dollars in revenue to Ascendas Group just around the Thunder-120 long-endurance drone and high-tech special equipment.
As for the core technology of the Thunderbolt-120 long-endurance UAV that Brazilian Aerospace Industry Corporation is eager to obtain, the technology transfer of the aero-engine full digital electronic control system.
Zhuang Jianye glanced at the various data on the fax and knew that Lin Guanghua had not given any of them.
Otherwise, why would Embraer purchase an additional 80 WD-48J high-power turboprop engines and pay US$65 million in technical service fees for the research and development of the full digital electronic control system for the SPEI MK807 turbofan engine?
¡°Obviously, Lin Guanghua followed his request and dumped the unimportant things to the Brazilians, firmly holding the real core in his hands.
After all, the key to long-endurance drones is the aeroengine. If the fuel-saving technology of the aeroengine is not up to standard, the control technology is poor, and the manufacturing technology cannot keep up, how can it be possible to maximize the fuel efficiency, and how can every unit be used? The potential of a drop of oil is squeezed to the point of explosion?
Therefore, the platform for the Thunderbolt-120 long-endurance UAV is nothing more than the TY-6 large UAV platform, but the core WD-48j high-power turboprop engine cannot be so casual.
The same is true for the full digital electronic control system of aircraft engines. The Brazilians want to take the hardware such as servo motors and electronic control boxes, but the core control software, management algorithms and data processing do not need to be worried about by outsiders. It is still the Ascendas Group that reluctantly bring it on.
Just like 3D printing equipment, Ascendas Group has opened up the supply of nb-233 as long as Brazilians have money and want it; but the more advanced nb-255 will not work, because Ascendas Group still counts on this advanced equipment to maintain its advantage. Well, as for when it will be available for sale, I guess we have to wait until the third generation product nb-277 comes out, maybe there will be hope.
In business, after all, Ascendas Group's main business is aerospace manufacturing, not a manufacturer of special equipment. As an industry that can easily form a high degree of monopoly, even partners may become formidable competitors in the future. This Such is the cruelty among aerospace manufacturers.
With the intention of harming others and the intention of guarding others against others, Zhuang Jianye naturally wants to maintain his advantages. Even if he cannot compare with giants such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Airbus, he still wants to compete with Bombardier and Indonesian national airlines. A small power like Brazil Aerospace has gained its own technological advantage.
There is no way, the law of the dark forest is like this. If you don't want to die inexplicably in the future, you have to expand your advantage.
Of course, to expand advantages, we must have material support, and we must make money. The long-endurance drones and special equipment worth 2 billion US dollars are part of it. The established cooperation with Brazilian Aerospace Industry Corporation is of course the bulk of Ascendas Group¡¯s revenue this time.
A total of 3.8 billion US dollars.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????In the next two years, Ascendas Group is responsible for the production of erj-140 series regional passenger aircraft wings, central wing boxes, four main structure cabin segments and other important aircraft parts.
The remaining US$1 billion is the latest cooperation project between Ascendas Group and Embraer, a 70-90-seat medium-sized regional passenger aircraft project.
The internal code name of Ascendas Group is the trj-700 regional passenger aircraft project.
The official external name is erj-170 series regional passenger aircraft.
The research and development costs of this project are shared by both parties, with a total investment of US$5.2 billion. According to a 50% distribution ratio, Brazil Aerospace and Ascendas Group each contributed US$2.6 billion.
As for the research and development, it is the same as that of the erj-140 series regional airliners, with Ascendas Group taking the lead.?Model design, overall structure demonstration, and verification machine manufacturing.
Brazil Aerospace Industry Corporation is responsible for quality control, structural optimization, static testing and verification test flights of all parts of the aircraft model.
Based on the successful experience of the erj-140 series regional airliners, Ascendas Group and Embraer have placed higher expectations on the trj-700 regional airliner project.
Regardless of anything else, the usage of composite materials alone shows that the ambitions of the two companies are not generally large, because according to the preliminary plan, the trj-700 regional passenger aircraft project will account for 8% of composite materials from the previous trj-500 regional passenger aircraft project. , increased to 18%.
A full 10 percentage point improvement is not a big deal for a civilian aircraft.
Precisely because of this, the trj-700 regional passenger aircraft will become the model with the highest flying height, fastest flying speed and longest range among similar 35-ton regional passenger aircraft.
The preliminary plan is to complete the design work by the end of 1997; produce the first prototype in mid-1998 and conduct ground testing; make its first flight around 2000, and strive to obtain an airworthiness certificate and put it into operation by 2002.
To this end, Ascendas Group and Embraer are expected to launch 3 models:
The basic model has 68 seats, a take-off weight of 32 tons, and a maximum range of 2,800 kilometers.
Extended range model, 74 seats, take-off weight of 35 tons, maximum range of 4,800 kilometers.
Extended type, 86 seats, take-off weight of 40 tons, maximum range of 4,800 kilometers.
Based on these three models, various luxury upgraded versions of business jets, government jets, maritime patrol aircraft, small early warning aircraft, electronic reconnaissance aircraft, aerial tankers and other derivative models will be launched.
It can be said that the trj-700 regional passenger aircraft is a crucial project for Ascendas Group and Embraer Aerospace in the 21st century. Once successful, it will not only bring unimaginable profits to the two companies, but may also rewrite the world's regional passenger aircraft industry. pattern.
Because of this, the two companies are going all out, which can be seen from the fact that Brazil readily handed over 1 billion US dollars to Ascendas Group for preliminary research and development.
However, the paradox is that Brazil¡¯s US$1 billion should be included in R&D investment, but Lin Guanghua¡¯s fax to Zhuang Jianye was marked as income.
Did Lin Guanghua make a mistake?
Of course not, but because Ascendas Group has already made many subsequent models of the erj-140 series regional passenger jets in the past few years. Otherwise, how could it continue to use the name trj-700?
To put it bluntly, it is a continuation of the original "Haidongqing" plan!
You know, according to the "Haidongqing" plan formulated by Ascendas Group, in the early 21st century, regional airliners with more than 70 seats will be launched. Therefore, Ascendas Group has not been idle in these years. Regardless of whether there are Brazilians or not, Ascendas Group is here. Stick to your established plan.
¡°As a result, the Brazilians said at this time, let¡¯s use money to do such a good thing together. If you don¡¯t agree, you would be a fool. After all, using other people¡¯s money to cover your own research and development expenses would not feel too good!
