Chapter 323 Those who wish take the bait
Thinking of this, Yi Yuanhe quietly took off the identity tag hanging around his neck and put it into his pocket, and motioned to Lin Weixuan next to him to do the same.
Then he pulled the latter closer to a distance that would not attract much attention, pretending to observe the Y-12 next to him, but his attention was still on the crowd of onlookers in front of the MA-60.
When he was visiting the opposite exhibition area, Yi Yuanhe also had a glimpse of the regional aircraft IL-114 brought by Ilyushin Company from a distance, which was roughly at the same level as the ATR42 and MA-60.
I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time. After all, the market for 40-50-seat regional propeller airliners is already quite limited, and it is impossible to operate many overlapping models at the same time like mainline airliners.
But if you look back and think about it carefully, this shows that the idiots also have export demand for regional aircraft.
Of course it is impossible for China to cultivate a competitor for itself, but the MA-60 is considered a relatively small level even among regional aircraft.
You must know that in the previous package agreement signed with the EU, the upper limit of mutual recognition of airworthiness was 100 seats and 50 tons, which has basically touched the edge of small mainline passenger aircraft such as the Airbus A318...
< br>Yi Yuanhe felt that he should pay attention to whether the Russian side, especially the Tupolev Design Bureau, had relevant models that met the requirements.
Although the path of exchanging technology for technology is currently unworkable, exchanging policy for technology can be regarded as a way for everyone to get what they need. It is always a lot more proactive than just providing money.
Yi Yuanhe listened with open ears and became excited, but it was painful for Lin Weixuan next to him who didn't understand Russian.
Out of curiosity, he could only watch a group of Russians watching his plane with great interest.
For him, the general leader of the air show, it is naturally a good thing for foreigners to be interested in one of his participating models, and if a photo of this scene is taken, it can be used as a keynote in subsequent publicity. Special book.
But no matter how good the photo is, it must be accompanied by corresponding text.
People who do publicity in this era still have a certain bottom line. They can't create a single opening picture, and the rest depends on the ruthless work of making up.
Therefore, after scratching his head for a long time, Lin Weixuan finally couldn't hold back his instinct of seeking knowledge and gently patted Yi Yuanhe on the shoulder:
"Lao Yi?"
"What are those? What are the Russians talking about? They also want to buy our plane?” That's not the case. They have similar models themselves. Lao Maozi's economy is in difficulty and aviation fuel is not valuable. The advantage of our aircraft's low fuel consumption cannot be used. "
Yi Yuanhe waved his hand and denied Lin Weixuan's outrageous speculation.
This makes the latter feel a bit regretful.
You know, geographically speaking, Russia is also Europe.
In May this year, Airbus wanted to purchase icing water spray simulation equipment from China, which caused a wave of anger in the aviation industry system. Previously, it had been frustrated by the aerospace colleagues. The breath was gone.
And if the whole machine can be exported to Europe...
I can't even think about it.
But Yi Yuanhe immediately changed the subject:
“What they are interested in should be the agreement we have reached with Europe. Someone just proposed that they want to obtain our airworthiness certification. Indirectly obtaining EU certification, especially for some subsystems where they have certain advantages, they can become international suppliers as long as they pass the approval process.”
“I just want to ask you, according to the details in the agreement. Terms, is this operation feasible? ”
As a technical person, he can only say that he has a general understanding of aviation regulations and related policies. The real details still need to be asked to professionals.
After hearing this, Lin Weixuan frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head:
"No, the mutual recognition objects stipulated in the agreement are limited to complete products developed by enterprises within our mainland. As for subsystems, , can only be certified in the form of being installed on regional aircraft that meet the requirements, and the EU has the right to review aircraft designs that clearly exceed aviation common sense."
"What does it mean to clearly exceed aviation common sense. Design?”
Yi Yuanhe was a little confused.
“For example, replace the MA-60 with two 10-ton thrust turbofan engines.”
This clause is obviously to prevent someone from using this loophole to gain mutual recognition for products outside the scope.
"What if it is a jointly developed model? For example, if we cooperate with Russia to design a new regional airliner, does it fall within the scope of the agreement?"
This is Yi Yuanhe Something I’ve been thinking about since just now. Since the Russians are interested in this matter, it means there is talk.
Even if Figure 204 itself is not within the scope of the license, it can still be used as a bargaining chip.
"There is no express provision..."
This question obviously made Lin Weixuan's brain enter an overclocking state, so he answered after a while:
"But I think, we at least have to You have to play a major role in it.”
“This is a good request and should be implemented resolutely.”
After hearing the answer he wanted, Yi Yuanhe finally smiled.
"Old Lin, go and prepare the MA 60 display materials again, and pull out a separate page to introduce the main contents of the agreement."
"Prepare it again now?"
Lin Weixuan looked like you're not kidding me.
In this era, everyone has limited experience in participating in foreign exhibitions. All promotional materials for China are prepared in China one month in advance and then brought over. The Paris Air Show will open tomorrow, so he can do it in one day It is indeed a bit intense to get a brand new set in a short period of time.
“Yes, it’s very important. If you can’t make it tomorrow, then you have to be ready no matter what before the flight show the day after tomorrow.”
Yi Yuanhe's attitude is very tough.
"Okay, I'll contact the local chamber of commerce to see if we can rush it in France."
Lin Weixuan, who realized the seriousness of the matter, also put away his smile, He nodded solemnly, then immediately turned around to leave.
But he was called from behind again.
“In order to take care of audiences around the world, write in several more languages, especially Russian, which must be added!”
...
Facts have proved that DDL is indeed the primary productive force.
When the air show officially opened at noon the next day, Central European Time, the display panel that originally stood in front of MA-60 had turned into five large pieces connected together.
In addition to the performance of the aircraft itself, the content also includes an introduction and explanation of the manufacturer and legal issues, which clearly states that the aircraft with a capacity of 100 seats or less than 50 tons designed and produced by China Aviation Industry Corporation Regional airliners can be registered and operated directly within the 15 EU countries.
With a sharp roar, the Su-37 prototype numbered 711 began its flight performance.
In something like an air show, for the onlookers who are watching the excitement, what they are more interested in is naturally the fighter jets.
Due to the absence of the American manufacturer, the YF22 prototype that was once rumored to be displayed did not appear. This Su-37 naturally became the star that received the most attention at the scene.
As a dazzling work of Sukhoi Company, it did not disappoint the audience. It displayed a series of jaw-dropping movements such as pendulum, tail rush, falling leaves and so on at an extremely low height, attracting attention. Waves of cheers and applause.
However, just when most people’s eyes were focused on the sky, Valentin Klimov, model manager from Tupolev Company, stopped in that small area of China. In front of the exhibition area, I stared at the five large exhibition panels connected together for a long time.
He clearly remembered that when he came over at noon yesterday, there was no such detailed introduction.
Chinese exhibitors even thoughtfully prepared all six United Nations working languages.
This makes it difficult for Klimov not to suspect that the other party is fishing in a targeted manner.
But even so, he was attracted by the last part of "Legal Issues".
No way, the bait is too fragrant, I can’t help it.
"Suka..."
Klimov pushed up his glasses, and he, who has always been well-mannered, uttered a classic Russian quintessence,
"The Chinese can really negotiate this kind of agreement. Have they bribed all the members of the European Parliament... …”
