Yes, this technology is indeed the world's leading, because it perfectly solves the problem of the perfect fusion of metal materials and composite materials, so that the joint surface not only has the overall fusion and lightness of adhesive bonding, but also has the mechanical reliability and durability of riveting. .
This has broken the difficult integration barrier between metal materials and composite materials in the field of aviation manufacturing.
In other words, with this technology, the large-scale application of composite materials is only within the designer's mind, and there is no so-called technical obstacle.
Because of this, Suharto, who was aware of these situations, understood why Wahid was desperate to get this technology, even if he was so poor that he had to squeeze out funds, shares, and even minerals. , we must also take the electron beam texturing process at all costs.
The reason is simple. Mastering this technology is equivalent to mastering the key threshold for future aircraft manufacturing.
Not to mention anything else, with this technology, you can make a lot of money just by doing OEM work for Boeing and Airbus!
You must know that Boeing's Boeing 777, the Boeing 7xx in preparation; the latest Airbus A330, A340, and the A380 that surpass the Boeing 747, the proportion of composite materials in these models exceeds 20%, and even composite materials in some models The proportion reached an astonishing 35%.
However, the development dates of these aircraft were announced very early, but until now, except for the Boeing 777, most of the models have not even produced engineering prototypes. Why?
It¡¯s not just about the connection between metal materials and composite materials!
The two major aviation giants, Boeing and Airbus, tend to use simple adhesive bonding to save costs. However, the European Aviation Safety Council and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration believe that the mechanical properties of the epoxy resin used in adhesive bonding have deteriorated significantly during long-term use. It is beneficial to the safety of the aircraft, so the bonding process of the two materials was eliminated.
The rest is riveting, but the problem is that due to the different characteristics of metal materials and composite materials, the riveting process for connecting the two materials is very complicated.
If the force is small, the two materials will not be connected. If the force is strong, it will easily cause surface cracks on the two materials, which will also affect the structural strength.
That¡¯s all. The key is that different locations on the aircraft require different material thicknesses and characteristics, which results in different changes in riveting strength.
It's like a couple racing on the bed. If you want to reach the peak of every position, you don't just turn off the lights and just rush. It requires a lot of tacit understanding and cooperation. Otherwise, racing is easy, but It¡¯s not easy to drive a good car.
The same principle applies to riveting two materials. The key is to master a degree. In the field of aviation manufacturing, this degree not only means production difficulties, but also represents high costs.
That¡¯s all. The key is that the structural weight cannot meet the design requirements due to the rivets, which partially offsets the weight reduction effect of the application of composite materials.
That is to say, the Boeing 777 uses an aviation giant such as General Motors' ge90 large bypass ratio turbofan engine, which is a generation-changing engine. Only in this way can this excess structural weight be offset by super engine thrust.
None of the remaining models can do this.
What¡¯s more, doesn¡¯t riveting cause structural strength fatigue damage?
Because of this, those models under development can only continue to be in the research and development stage, slowly waiting for aerospace engineers to find better methods.
At this time, the Indonesian National Aviation Industry Corporation has obtained the electron beam texturing technology, can it directly make a price to Airbus and Boeing, and get the production project of connecting metal materials and composite materials?
Thinking about the future, so many new models will replace almost all the old models today. Even the so-called Queen of the Skies, the Boeing 747, will be challenged by the larger, more advanced and more luxurious A380.
How big will the market be?
With such a large market size, Indonesia¡¯s National Aviation Industry Corporation has completely survived.
There is no need to beg for mercy from anyone. Even if the International Monetary Fund clearly states that not a penny can be invested in Indonesia's National Aviation Industry Corporation, they will not care. I have this technology and you don't, so I am in this niche field. The father can do whatever he wants.
This is the winner-take-all technology monopoly advantage in the aviation manufacturing field!
So don¡¯t say that Wahid used funds, shares, and minerals in exchange for this technology; even if he staked half of Indonesia¡¯s current wealth on it, Suharto felt it was worth it!
However, just when Suharto came back to his senses and prepared for Wahid to assist, Gu Jingyou, who had talked a lot of nonsense, finally came. Speaking of the key point: "so this technology is the current level of our Ascendas Group'sThe foundation of Duan Lisheng is that it is not only used in military applications, but is far more competitive than domestic and foreign friends.
At the same time, it is also an important source of income for us in the field of civil aviation manufacturing, and it is also a powerful trump card for us to participate in international competition.
Because both Boeing and Airbus have a very strong interest in this technology, and based on this, they have launched all-round technical cooperation with our Ascendas Group, and our Ascendas Group has now begun to use this technology to provide Boeing's Boeing 777 Carry out mass production of composite materials and metal materials for the Airbus A340.
This will bring more than US$15 billion in revenue to Ascendas Group in the next four years, so"
Having said this, Gu Jingyou paused and then said slowly: "I'm really sorry, we can't sell this technology!"
Suharto was still thinking about how to obtain this technology at a higher price so that Indonesia could have this unique business. Unexpectedly, Rentengfei Group had already begun to use this technology to complete a de facto monopoly. And it has begun mass OEM production for Boeing and Airbus.
In this case, no one would be able to sell it, because the benefits are too great.
It¡¯s just that Suharto only saw the marketing benefits; Wahid, who had a broader vision, really felt his heart skip a beat when he heard this.
He originally thought Ascendas Group. The East Timor refugee issue, as well as the establishment of China Ascendas, began to challenge Boeing and Airbus when integrating domestic resources.
After all, the TNB-18F cargo aircraft has exceeded the psychological bottom line of these two aviation giants. Suppression is inevitable because it is impossible for them to see the emergence of a c after a and b.
This is also an important reason why Wahid Baba came to Ascendas Group, because his calculations were very shrewd. If Ascendas Group wants to compete with Boeing and Airbus, it must have its own overseas market.
Southeast Asia, with its natural geographical attributes, can naturally become China's back garden. Based on this, Indonesia's National Aviation Industry Corporation, which has been cultivating the Southeast Asian aviation market for many years, can use this as a bargaining chip to bargain with Ascendas Group, thus gaining a foothold in Ascendas Group's relationship with Airbus, Boeing has found a glimmer of hope in the competition.
As a result, Wahid suddenly found that his idea was too naive.
Boeing and Airbus don¡¯t want to see the emergence of C, but they can¡¯t help it because C has its own unique skills.
Does the A380 want to compete with the Boeing 747? Does the Boeing 777 want to replicate the glory of the Boeing 737? Think about it, no one wants to!
What is the key to thinking about? That is to make the plane fly higher, faster and further!
To meet these three requirements, composite materials must be applied on a large scale. Therefore, whoever can solve the problem of connecting composite materials and metal materials will master the key to the core products of the two major aviation giants.
It just so happened that Ascendas Group took control of it.
What to do with the two giants? Of course it¡¯s cooperation! Anyway, Ascendas Group has not yet entered the field of civil aviation. Aren¡¯t the flight trial certificates still in the hands of the two giants?
In this case, let¡¯s get the technological dividends first. As for Ascendas Group, it doesn¡¯t matter whether it eats the Indonesian National Aviation Industry Corporation or gets rid of it as a joke. It is just an aviation company in a developing country. For the sake of technology, it is empty. Passenger and Boeing are still very generous.
Wanting this, Wahid could only lament that there were crows in the sky today, they were so black!
