Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 913 Luck 2
"Leaders, if I say that I want to take over this project, I wonder if it is possible." Looking at everyone, Jiang Yan made up his mind and expressed his thoughts.

Now that we have just started reform and opening up, many systems are still imperfect, and the country has not opened up many areas. Most of them are based on light industry. The aviation industry is a key industry. Don’t even mention now. In Jiang Yan’s era, the openness was also quite limited. Jiang Yan’s words were no less than dropping a mine on a calm lake.

"Reason." The leader stopped everyone else from speaking and looked at Jiang Yan.

Hearing the leader's question, Jiang Yan thought for a moment and said, "Air transportation, rail transportation and ocean transportation can be said to be one of the three major transportation leaders. Compared with the others, air transportation is faster. Transportation diversity."

1978, "Civil aviation must be corporatized." On March 3 of the same year, the Chinese government decided to separate civil aviation from the military system, change the Civil Aviation Administration from being under the Air Force to an agency directly under the State Council, and implement corporatization management.

During this period, the Civil Aviation Administration of China was a combination of government and enterprise. It was both a government department in charge of civil aviation affairs and a national enterprise directly operating air transport and general aviation businesses under the name of "Civil Aviation of China (CAAC)". It had six regional administrations in BJ, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Lanzhou (later moved to Xi'an), and Shenyang.

1980年全民航只有140架运输飞机，且多数是20世纪50年代或40年代生产制造的苏式伊尔14、里二型飞机，载客量仅20多人或40人，载客量100人以上的中大型飞机只有 17架；机场只有79個。1980年，我国民航全年旅客运输量仅343万人；全年运输总周转量4．29亿吨公里，居新加坡、印度、菲律宾、印尼等国之后，列世界民航第35位。

"But according to my calculations, after our reform and opening up, both passenger and cargo transportation will have great development. However, our current aircraft cannot meet the demand at all. At present, the international passenger aircraft are mainly produced by McDonnell Douglas, Boeing and Airbus. We do not have the ability to produce aircraft, so we will inevitably purchase them on a large scale. According to my calculations, by the end of the 180s, we will have a shortage of aircraft. You can calculate how much budget this will cost."

"If our Y-10 aircraft can be successfully put into production, at least half of the aircraft purchases can be carried out internally. In this way, we can not only train our team, but also save a lot of foreign exchange, which can be invested in more industries."

"Moreover, we have experience in manufacturing large aircraft, so we can produce corresponding military aircraft, which will also make a huge leap for our military aircraft. It can be said that we are killing two birds with one stone."

In the following time, Jiang Yan talked about the advantages of having our own large aircraft, and explained all the advantages and disadvantages to the leaders. It can be said that his argument was well-founded.

"If we hand over the Y-10 aircraft to you, what will you do?" the leader said.

"What I mean is that our group and the National Aviation Administration will jointly develop the Y-10 aircraft. The main purpose is to establish a commercial aircraft company. We will be the main investor. Of course, how to develop it must be closely in line with market rules. However, the Aviation Administration and the country have the right of supervision. We will discuss the specific shares. The civil part will be sold by us, and the military part will be handled by the country. However, in an emergency, the company will follow the will of the country."

"We didn't originally have plans to liberalize the aviation sector, but according to the rules you speculated, Xiao Jiang, it seems that our country also needs to develop large aircraft. Both military and civilian use are indispensable. In other words, the production of large aircraft represents the strength of the country." The leader said.

“But how do we solve a series of problems with large aircraft?” the big boss asked again.

According to Jiang Yan, the development of the Y-100 aircraft used nearly new materials, more than new standards and new processes, and gained valuable experience in development and organization. The localization rate of the aircraft is %.

Its development broke through the design specifications of Soviet aircraft. It was the first time that my country developed it in accordance with the FAR-25 standard of the US airworthiness regulations. The entire development process did not rely on any foreigners. It is a large aircraft with completely independent intellectual property rights in my country. However, this aircraft is not completely without shortcomings. First of all, the engine is our country's own engine. Although it is said that in this world, due to the appearance of Jiang Yan, my country has made great progress in the field of materials. However, the life of the engine of this aircraft is far lower than that of similar engines in the world, and it needs maintenance after 800 hours.

However, Jiang Yan has his own alternatives. After all, the country has been reformed and opened up. Although foreign countries can strangle them in the military field, perhaps not in the civilian field. They can use the engines produced by General Motors, and if that doesn't work, they can go to Europe to think of solutions. There are always more solutions than difficulties.

In addition, the country does not have large die forging presses, which are key equipment for die forging products required in the fields of aviation, aerospace, petroleum, chemical industry, shipbuilding, etc. Large die forging presses are also an important symbol of a country's industrial strength.

The first large passenger aircraft "Yun-10" independently developed by my country made its first test flight and stayed on the ground after a total of 170 hours of test flight. Because my country did not have a large-scale forging hydraulic press at that time, it was impossible to forge the aircraft beam as a whole, and the segmented forging and combined assembly of small equipment could not meet the performance indicators required by large aircraft.

At present, there is no large-scale equipment of this kind in the country, and it is impossible to purchase such a national treasure.

Jiang Yan's original plan was to invest in the research and development of the country's own large-scale die forging press, just like the large aircraft. Of course, this was a completely unilateral investment.

Jiang Yan not only invested in research and development unilaterally, he also prepared to go to the Russian bear in the north to think of a solution. After all, in a few years it will be a chaotic period for them, and he must also make arrangements in advance, as there are many things we are coveting there.

For example, if one of his allies destroyed those things, it would be better for him to get them into his own hands.

As for other problems, we only need to add funds to continue the experiment, and quality problems can only be solved during the continued development process.

"It seems that you have come here with a plan. Personally, I think this project can be handed over to you to run, but we still need to hold a meeting to discuss it."

"If it can be run, it will be just like what Xiao Jiang said, to set up a tertiary industry company in our Aviation Bureau."

Hearing what the leader said, Jiang Yan finally felt relieved. He thought that if the leader said so, there was probably 80 to 90 percent hope.

"Leader, look, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I will invest some money first and let them continue with the research and development. If this drags on for too long, I'm really not afraid of the R&D team being disbanded." Jiang Yan said without hesitation.

"You are really cunning boy. Okay, I promise you." The leader said with a smile.
