Chapter 215: Opening a Hole in the Airworthiness Barrier
After receiving such heavy news for the first time, people need time to brew their emotions.
So Chang Haonan deliberately remained silent for a little longer.
He could even clearly hear the heavy breathing of the two people around him.
Although people here still don’t know how terrifying the aviation market will develop in the next twenty years, but just think about it, the Chinese will one day be able to sell aircraft to Europe. It was enough to make these old military industry and aviation veterans excited.
Even Huai Guomo, who had already understood Chang Haonan's general thinking through that note, felt his heart beat a beat slower at this time.
One second, two seconds...
As time gradually passed, Chang Haonan could see that more than one person wanted to speak.
They had many questions to ask.
But for a while no one could make a sound.
In the end, it was Yi Yuanhe, an old comrade who had experienced great storms, who recovered first.
Although he was also looking forward to the prospects described by Chang Haonan, he was well-informed and forced himself to calm down quickly.
Because such a wide-ranging matter is often countless times more complicated than brainstorming when it is actually started.
Especially in this era, the JAA is still an organization that does not have mandatory binding force.
“Comrade Xiao Chang.”
Yi Yuanhe took a sip of water first and suppressed the slight trembling caused by excitement:
“Promoting the reciprocity and mutual recognition of civil aviation products between China and Europe is a very complicated task, and to be fair, this There is almost no benefit to them, so you are so sure that you can convince the other party in the negotiation?”
“Although I have not had much contact with people in the civil aviation system, I think this is the biggest bargaining chip in our hands. China’s aviation market has huge potential. But this card has been used against Boeing and McDonnell Douglas before. Now facing Europe, it may be difficult to compete with them with only one-hand icing and anti-icing technology?”
Although this question seems to be throwing cold water on it, it is indeed the actual situation. It is not that other people are unaware of this matter, they are just too caught up in the short-term excitement to think about it carefully.
Now that it was brought up by Yi Yuanhe, other members of the surrounding delegation gradually returned to reality.
In the final analysis, China's own aviation industry is not developed enough.
If we can build a mainline passenger aircraft that is sufficient for the domestic market entirely by ourselves, we don’t even need to have very good performance, we can take the absolute initiative in this game.
Unfortunately not.
And this will not happen in a short time.
A pair of eyes, either doubtful or expectant, focused on Chang Haonan.
Seeing this situation, Huai Guomo, who was sitting in the main seat but only said one sentence at the beginning of the meeting, showed a somewhat playful smile.
Actually, he had considered this issue when he saw the note.
Originally, he should not have agreed to engage in such extraneous matters.
But the chat with everyone on the road made him finally make a different decision——
Since Chang Haonan has proven before that he is not just a stick and a hammer. If you have a systematic idea for the development of the aviation industry, then you might as well just believe him!
Anyway, the worst-case scenario is that the negotiation progress reaches zero.
We have just talked about the first round now, even if we start over, we can accept it.
Now, Huai Guomo looked at Chang Haonan next to him with an expression of having everything under control, and knew that he must have made the right bet.
This young man is indeed thoughtful. However, maybe it was because the atmosphere was not in place yet, so I didn't say it out loud.
So he put down the tea cup in his hand and took the initiative to give the other party a start:
"What Mr. Yi said is indeed a big problem, but I think Comrade Xiao Chang may have already considered it?"
< br>Chang Haonan originally thought that the heat was almost over, and was about to explain, but happened to use the slope given by Director Huai to come down:
“If we want to completely liberalize Europe, the current chips are really not enough. . ”
“But I didn’t say that we should achieve full reciprocity and mutual recognition in one step. ”
suddenly see the light.
“You mean, it needs to be done in stages?”
Someone asked.
"Yes, it's like boiling a frog in warm water."
Chang Haonan nodded confidently, and then analyzed methodically:
"Main line aircraft such as the 737 and A320 are the lifeblood of the European aviation industry, and Airbus will be very sensitive to this level. If we directly talk about comprehensive reciprocity and mutual recognition, it will only irritate their nerves and make negotiations difficult. It will not be small, and it may even directly lead to the breakdown of the temporary alliance formed due to the McDonnell Douglas Boeing incident. The risk is too high and the gains outweigh the losses.”
“But we can do it step by step. The biggest concern for Europe now is ATR. company, if the FAA questions the existing anti-icing standards, or even the entire expansion deicing technology, then their flagship product, the ATR42/72 aircraft, is likely to lose a large amount of market share in a short period of time and be occupied by the North American faction's Bombardier Rush 8 ."
At this point, someone has already understood what he meant:
"So in order to compete with North America, the Europeans will not bite the bullet in the regional passenger aircraft field?"
< br>"That's right."
Chang Haonan was in a good mood when he saw someone answering him. He tapped the table with his fingers:
"Airbus's business does not involve regional aircraft. As for the remaining Fokker and BAE companies, they have already As long as ATR is willing to make concessions, JAA has no reason to obstruct it.”
“We can use the maximum take-off weight or the maximum number of passengers as a reference standard. This time we will first reach a 50-ton limit with JAA. , reciprocal mutual recognition of airworthiness certificates for small and medium-sized aircraft with less than 100 seats. As a price, we can design a separate anti-icing system for ATR42/72 aircraft that can adapt to certain SLD conditions, and authorize a basic set of anti-icing systems to JAA for free. The weather prediction and icing risk determination software is the one that Professor Lin Guofan and I developed together before. "
"Wait... the basic model? "
I was suddenly cueed. Lin Guofan looked confused:
"Didn't we only make one version? Did you secretly make a premium version?"
"Of course not..."
Chang Haonan covered his face:
" But they won’t know, they will just think that we have better ones, and Professor Lin is indeed iterating new algorithms and versions, right? Even if we borrow a high-end version, we will develop it later. Return it again.”
A burst of laughter erupted in the conference room again.
After all, the loan metaphor is indeed apt.
At this time, Huai Guomo ended the topic:
"Okay, just now Comrade Xiao Chang has introduced his ideas in detail."
The old general used Sharp eyes swept across the audience:
"Although we are still just establishing mutual recognition of small aircraft, everything is difficult at the beginning. This time is equivalent to tearing a hole in Europe. When we build it in the future For larger aircraft, it should be much easier to negotiate with them for further mutual recognition of airworthiness.”
"So, I think that although there are certain risks and difficulties, it is still worth a try."
With Huai Guomo's endorsement and Chang Haonan's convincing explanation just now, the entire delegation logically determined The decision to appoint the latter as the temporary deputy head of the delegation was unanimously adopted.
When the voting results came out, Chang Haonan felt a warm current in his heart.
It’s not that the temporary deputy head of this delegation is so important.
But a kind of passion.
From Chang Haonan's rebirth to now, he has indeed done a lot of things, changed many models, and even the fate of many people.
But when it comes to the opportunity to directly reverse the history of the past life, this is the first time!
