Chapter 648 Talent Training (Second update, please subscribe)
In fact, compared to developing the aircraft itself, what is really important is cultivating talents.
Although Nanyang has hundreds of aeronautical engineers from Germany, Italy and France, and most of them have been naturalized in Nanyang, they are still cultivating their own talents after all.
In fact, Li Yian has always attached great importance to talent training-in 1944, when he acquired the Savoia-Marchetti Aircraft Company in Italy, he was removed from the task force. 56 people entered the company to learn aircraft manufacturing and design. At the same time, 300 team members were sent to study in the United States, and 600 team members went to internships in many American companies, including Boeing.
In the following two years, he successively removed more than 5,000 people from the task force to enter European and American universities for further study or corporate internships.
In fact, in the subsequent construction of Nanyang, German technicians played a large role. But the role they play cannot be ignored. Now they are gradually growing into the backbone of various enterprises.
It is also thanks to this that during the construction period of Nanyang's aviation industry, in addition to technicians from Germany, Italy and France, the company's technical team also had a group of Nanyang's own technicians who were designing They played a key role when it came to F1 fighters.
Not only that, a group of aviation designers from Tangshan also joined the team last year.
Although the project team is crowded with people, as the chief engineer of the project, Satista always intentionally or unintentionally allows Chinese engineers including Lin Tonghua and Zhang Tingpeng to take on more responsibilities. This is a kind of training in itself. Model, in fact, the most fundamental reason why he was able to become the company's chief engineer as an Italian engineer was that he was able to find his exact position and know what kind of technical personnel should be focused on training.
After returning to the company from the official residence, Satista took out a few business cards and began to think.
"Who should be responsible for the entire project?"
Looking at the name on the business card, although there were several times, Satista turned his attention to Zhang Tingpeng. After all, they were teachers and students, but after all, he was hesitating After a long time, he picked up another business card.
“He is more suitable.”
When Lin Tonghua walked into the office, Satista had already stuffed those business cards into a drawer, with only the cards from The design ideas brought by the official residence.
Satista smiled at Lin Tonghua and said.
"Gong Lin, I remember that you once presided over the design of transport aircraft."
The sudden question surprised Lin Tonghua and said.
"Yes, during the Anti-Japanese War, the China Transport No. 1 transport aircraft was developed."
During the Anti-Japanese War, Lin Tonghua was the project leader of the "China Transport No. 1". When the Anti-Japanese War was about to win, In order to develop the aerospace industry, Lin Tonghua led an aircraft design team of more than 20 people to study aircraft design at McDonald's Company in the United States.
Later, when things were changing in Tangshan, he and his colleagues received an invitation from Nanyang, so they led all the members to Nanyang and soon participated in the development of the "707 Project".
In fact, Satista had no interest in the "Zhongyun No. 1". After all, it was just a project during the war, and its performance was similar to that of the DC3 transport aircraft. Already behind the times.
But what he needs now is Lin Tonghua's experience in being responsible for the project. Although there are other engineers in the company who have experience in being responsible for the entire project, they are not from Tang Dynasty.
After briefly understanding the situation of "Zhongyun No. 1", he said.
"It's like this. When you came to the official residence this time, you made some new requests."
"New requests?"
Lin Tonghua was stunned. Although he had never met Your Excellency, he also knew that the commander-in-chief was a scholar with a very impressive academic level and had certain attainments in the field of aviation.
There is a saying within the company. If you are an aeronautical engineer, then he is likely to become the best aeronautical engineer in Nanyang. This shows his professional attainments.
Actually, it is well known that you are a scientist who has been delayed by politics. This is especially true in aspects such as physics.
"Yes, some metal fatigue issues were mentioned. We need to make certain modifications to the aircraft's porthole design to eliminate metal stress,"
A brief explanation of why it is needed Eliminate metal stress, Sadista said again.
"However, this is not important. What is important is that you asked us to develop a regional aircraft for domestic routes."
"What? Regional aircraft?"
Lin Tonghua's face was full of emotions Confuse.
In this era, there is no concept of regional aircraft. When I first heard the word, I was naturally a little surprised, so he said.
“Yes, this kind of regional aircraft is a concept proposed by you. Compared with large aircraft like the 707, it has less than 100 seats, uses two jet engines, and has a range of only about 4,000 kilometers. , used to meet the traffic between cities within Nanyang, especially the traffic between the main island and outer islands..."
After briefly explaining what a "regional aircraft" was, Satista looked at Lin Tonghua and said.
"Because it is your suggestion, and the market space is indeed huge, the company will soon set up a project team. Well, according to the company's number, it should be "Project 717". This project requires some personnel To participate in it, so I decided to recruit a group of people from the 707 project to set up a 717 project team?
Lin Tonghua did not realize that he was selected to be responsible for the entire "717 Project", but subconsciously thought that he was going to be transferred to this project. After all, he only joined the "707 Project Team" later.
“Okay, Chief Engineer Sa, I understand. I can go there at any time, but there are some tasks that need to be handed over.”
Lin Tonghua's answer made Satista nodded and said.
"Well, very good, please prepare. You will be the chief designer of this project. I recommend Zhang Tingpeng as the deputy designer. As for the selection of other people, you can do it without affecting the 707 project. , free choice.”
What!
Lin Tonghua was stunned and said in surprise.
“Chief Engineer Sa, you mean to put me in charge of this project?”
Satista asked rhetorically.
"Yes, is there any problem?"
Before Lin Tonghua could react, Satista had already handed over the information to Lin Tonghua and said.
“This is a simple sketch designed by you. There is no problem with the basic aerodynamic layout. After all, you are an aerospace engineer yourself. You put two jet engines at the tail of the aircraft. This design is also unique. You should do some research, try to use mature technologies, and pay attention to component commonality with the 707 project. This will not only help reduce future production and manufacturing costs, but also minimize the airline's operating costs. "< br>
Through the training of the C95 project, the company's engineering and technical personnel are now very proficient in mastering the key to civil aircraft manufacturing - minimizing the overall cost.
After a brief exhortation, Satista looked at Lin Tonghua who looked serious and said.
"Okay, Mr. Zhu, I hope to hear your good news as soon as possible."
Quietly walked through the corridor between offices and went downstairs to his office. Lin Tonghua grinned.
"Chief Designer of "717 Project"."
Lin Tonghua was talking to himself in the elevator, his face flashed with unconcealable excitement, who could not be excited? ?
The reason why he led his subordinates to Nanyang last year was because Nanyang's achievements in the field of aviation manufacturing are astonishing. Whether it is a super giant transport aircraft or a C95 passenger aircraft, they are extremely advanced aircraft. He believes that he can put what he has learned here to full use.
Facts proved that his choice was correct. After arriving in Nanyang, some of them joined the development of the FX1 jet fighter, and some joined the development of the "707" large jet airliner.
And now, just one year later, he was actually selected as the chief designer of the "717 Project". How could he not be excited?
This is the development of a jet airliner!
Soon, Lin Tonghua, who returned to the office, took a look at the messy drawings on the table. These drawings were all drawings of the 707 project. Now the 707 project has reached the final stage.
But soon, he will start a new job.
“We also need a deputy chief designer.”
Lin Tonghua was not surprised that Salstad would choose Zhang Tingpeng. As we all know, they have a teacher-student relationship, and they do not avoid relatives in internal promotions. Well.
However, he still needs an assistant.
After thinking for a while, he picked up the phone.
When the phone broke the silence in the office, Gu Guangfu, who was drawing the wing drawings, turned around, took the phone and said.
"Hello, who is that?"
Soon, the voice from the other end of the phone made him change his expression slightly, push his glasses hard, and said excitedly.
"Really? Is what you said true?"
"Yes, it is true. I am responsible for this project. How about, Guangfu, come and help me!" ”
It was Lin Tonghua's voice. Facing the invitation from his old friend, Gu Guangfu immediately agreed without thinking.
"Okay, I will go to your office now..."
