Chapter 1559 The confidence lies

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There is no way, even ordinary folk masters can see things, Boeing and Airbus, which have so many aviation technical experts, can only see more from the CCTV live broadcast.

    But precisely because of this, the two companies were extremely angry and immediately contacted China Ascendas through private channels, hoping that FCNB-220 could give them an explanation.

    You must know that in order to attract aviation OEMs from Airbus and Boeing, China Takeoff made a promise when it cut off the fcnb-2000 project, that is, it would not be involved in the development of mainline passenger aircraft.

    As a result, a fcnb-220 appeared at this time. What do you think of Airbus and Boeing?  Decoration?

    ¡°It turned out that it was okay if the two companies didn¡¯t contact China Tengfei. After contacting them, I discovered that they really didn¡¯t treat these two companies as decorations, but as complete idiots.

    Because China Takeoff¡¯s explanation is very professional: ¡°The fcnb-220 is not a trunk airliner, but a deeply improved version based on the fcnb-200-400 regional airliner. Because of this, the fcnb-220 is actually the same as the fcnb-200 series.  They are both regional airliners developed by China Ascendas. If there is any difference between the two models, I can only say that the overall performance of the fcnb-220 is better, and it has redefined the regional airliner"

    After hearing this explanation, the technicians from Airbus and Boeing almost became angry.

    I have never seen someone so shameless as China Takeoff. An aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of around 60 tons, a length of about 35 meters, a passenger capacity of more than 120 people, and a range of at least 5,000 kilometers, how dare you  Is it a regional airliner?

    If that¡¯s the case, the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 can be downgraded and used as regional airliners.

    It turns out that China Ascendas, with such a typical single-aisle trunk airliner, is trying to say that it is redefining the new concept of regional airliners. How shameless people must be to do it!

    In fact, Boeing and Airbus technicians were right. According to internal data from China Ascendas, the fcnb-220 passenger aircraft has a length of 34.9 meters, a wingspan of 35.1 meters, and a height of 11.6 meters.

    ??The fuselage is 3.7 meters wide, the cabin diameter is 3.2 meters, and the cabin height is 2.2 meters.

    It adopts a 3+2 seat layout and can carry up to 125 passengers. The number of first class, business class and economy class can be arranged according to different needs.

    The empty weight of the entire aircraft is 28.75 tons; the maximum take-off weight is 59.15 tons, the range is 5,500 kilometers, the maximum flight altitude is 13,000 meters, and the maximum flight speed is Mach 0.82.

    The take-off and landing distances are 1,520 meters and 1,340 meters respectively.

    The engine uses two WD-72F high-bypass-ratio turbofan engines developed and produced by China Ascendas, with a maximum thrust of 9.5 tons. Its performance is equivalent to the aeroengine performance used by Boeing 737 and Airbus A320.

    So from the data point of view, the fcnb-220 is indeed a genuine trunk airliner. As for comfort and performance, it is on par with large long-distance trunk airliners.

    This is also a masterpiece of China Takeoff that originated from the trj-900 regional trunk airliner project. However, compared with the previous trj-900, which mainly focused on regional lines and took into account trunk lines, the fcnb-220 is obviously more ambitious.

    Even though China Ascendas still has the name of the branch line in the information, neither the discerning outsiders nor China Ascendas¡¯ internal staff regard fcnb-220 as a branch line.

    As for the market positioning of fcnb-220, it is even more obvious. It is to replace Boeing 737, Boeing 737-200, -300, -400, -600 and Airbus A320 and -200, -400, which were produced in the 1980s and 1990s.  The old model is used for air transportation between major domestic cities.

    If this was done ten years ago, China's take-off would not be so radical. It would inevitably have a transitional model between fcnb-200 and fcnb-220. Firstly, it is afraid of taking too big a step and hurting its own eggs. Secondly, it does not want to  Prematurely stimulating the two giants Boeing and Airbus.

    Therefore, there is also an fcnb-210 project in the original plan. As an overall transition, although the appearance of the airframe has been infinitely close to that of the fcnb-220, it also adopts the engine hanging type under the wing and the traditional aerodynamic layout design method. The only  The difference is that the size is slightly smaller, in line with the identity of a regional airliner.

    But in terms of technical essence, it is almost not much different from fcnb-220, except that the fuselage is enlarged or reduced.

    As for choosing which model to focus on, it mainly depends on market demand.

    Originally, the demand for air transportation in the domestic market has grown very strongly, especially for regional passenger aircraft. With the economic development of the eastern coastal areas, the demand for regional lines within 1,000 kilometers is very strong. After all, there is no doubt about the rapidity of aircraft.

    Therefore, it is understandable for China to take off and develop fcnb-210.

    However, as the high-speed railway project is listed as a key construction project by the country, and it is preparing to build a four-vertical and four-horizontal high-speed rail artery in the country.?The dominant position of regional airliners has declined rapidly.

    Although regional airliners are faster, the actual efficiency of regional airliners is not the same after excluding the time spent driving to and from the airport, the waiting time to enter the airport, the security check time before boarding, and flight delays due to weather and other reasons.  It¡¯s no better than the high-speed rail.

    Especially the high-speed rail between developed urban agglomerations is more efficient and more convenient than regional airliners.

    As a result, in addition to some sparsely populated provinces in the west that still need some small and medium-sized regional passenger aircraft, the transportation demand for regional passenger aircraft in the economically developed central and eastern regions will inevitably fall off a cliff.

    Under such circumstances, it is obviously unwise to develop regional passenger aircraft in Tou Railway.

    Unlike the dilemma faced by regional passenger aircraft, the mainline transportation market has not been greatly affected by the construction of high-speed rail, but has further demonstrated strong real demand.

    After all, for a 3,000-kilometer round-trip, or a 6,000-kilometer long-distance landing midway, airplanes are still the fastest.

    This has also led to an increase in route coverage between important first-, second- and third-tier cities year by year. Coupled with the fact that old aircraft models produced in the 1980s and 1990s have reached the end of their service life, domestic airlines will free up a large number of mainline passenger aircraft that focus on domestic routes.  vacancy.

    On the one hand, the market is shrinking sharply; on the other hand, it is bucking the market trend and thriving. As a profit-seeking aviation and aerospace manufacturing company, China Tengfei wants to choose. Needless to say, it goes without saying that it is the larger fcnb-220!

    Of course, some people may ask, China¡¯s take-off is only based on domestic considerations, why not consider foreign markets?

    You must know that the probability of high-speed rail failure in foreign countries is not high, and the demand for regional aircraft is still very strong.

    It¡¯s not that China Ascendas doesn¡¯t want to consider it, the problem is that the foreign acceptance of civilian models produced by China Ascendas is pitifully low. Even though the fcnb-200 series has obtained European and American airworthiness certificates, due to deliberate suppression by competitors and years of malicious propaganda,  Foreign airlines are more of a wait-and-see attitude towards fcnb-200, and sales volume is not high.

    As for the fcnb-220 that takes the main route, let alone it. It is estimated that it will not even be able to obtain European and American airworthiness certificates, let alone overseas sales. Fortunately, the domestic market is large enough, and this is why China Tengfei dares to directly launch the fcnb-220  The confidence lies!
