Chapter 574: Calculate the economic account

One engine costs $50 million!

This is an unprecedented high price. Such a price is basically more than twice the price of the Rida 900 engine. If an aircraft uses two turbofan 30 engines, it will cost $100 million.

Many people know that the price of the Airbus A380 passenger aircraft is about 300 million US dollars, and the price of the engine accounts for one-third of the aircraft's construction cost, and it seems not expensive.

But the price of an engine of $50 million is unacceptable for a moment. This is an unprecedented high price. No engine has ever been sold for this price.

"Mr. Li, the price is $50 million, which is too expensive!"

"Yes, this is a sky-high price!"

“…”

More than one person asked loudly below. Li Tianfeng noticed that these people were basically foreigners and basically spoke in English or French.

Li Tianfeng smiled slightly and said, "I think the price of $50 million is not expensive. I will calculate the calculations for everyone. First of all, our turbofan 30 engine can match two of others. An Airbus A380 only requires two turbofan 30 engines, which is one of them."

"Secondly, our engine performance is excellent, with fuel consumption per unit of thrust, emissions, etc., which is to say, we can fly from Beijing Paris or London to save at least 15% of fuel."

"Third, our turbofan 30 engine has very good maintenance, with maintenance and usage costs more than 20% lower than its competing models."

"fourth……"

Li Tianfeng calculated the economic accounts with everyone one, two, three, four points one by one, and everyone was a person in the aviation industry. After Li Tianfeng's calculations, everyone gradually started to think about it.

This economic account is easy to calculate, and you can quickly figure it out. After calculating it in your mind, everyone found that even if it is a price of 50 million US dollars, it is more economical and more cost-effective if you use the turbofan 30 engine.

Once you calculate this, you will understand. Many people looked at Li Tianfeng enviously. Everyone knew in their hearts that the turbofan 30 engine would definitely have very strong competitiveness.

With such economical and advanced performance, many people can even imagine that once the turbofan 30 engine is put into the market, it will definitely occupy a large share of the large trunk passenger aircraft market.

Trunkline passenger aircraft of 300 seats to 500 seats can use turbofan 30 engines, and super-large trunkline passenger aircraft of 500 seats or above, such as the Airbus a380 passenger aircraft, it is also perfectly fine to use two turbofan 30 engines.

After understanding the economic calculations, everyone is most concerned about when the turbofan 30 engine will be put into the market. So someone asked loudly: "Mr. Li, when will the turbofan 30 engine enter commercial operation?"

Li Tianfeng said: "This year we will complete the comprehensive design of the turbofan 30 engine and complete a series of test runs and test flight tests next year. Within two years, our turbofan 30 engine will be mass-produced."

Within two years!

Many people were surprised. Such a super engine can be mass-produced within two years. What a concept.

However, thinking about any engine developed by Tianfeng Technology Company before, it basically only took one or two years, and everyone felt relieved.

The global press conference for the turbofan 30 engine was very successful, from 9 am to 12 o'clock. As soon as the press conference ended, there were a lot of news reports, and the turbofan 30 engine was unprecedentedly famous.

At the end of the press conference, Tianfeng Technology Company held a grand celebration banquet at the Beijing Hotel.

In the afternoon, Tianfeng Technology Company, Boeing and Airbus signed order contracts respectively. Airbus ordered 200 turbofan 30 engines from Tianfeng Technology Company, and Boeing ordered 150 turbofan 30 engines from Tianfeng Technology Company.

200 turbofan 30 engines! Valued at $10 billion!

150 turbofan 30 engines! Valued at US$7.5 billion!

Total $17.5 billion!

This is the result of this global press conference, and it is also the harvest of Li Tianfeng's trip abroad more than a month ago.

During the last trip abroad, Li Tianfeng visited Airbus and Boeing, and sold his own turbofan 30 engine well, and also made good financial accounts for the executives of the two companies.

Li Tianfeng's economic calculations were very clear, and everyone no longer felt that the price of $5,000 was expensive. At the beginning, everyone reached an intention. Taking advantage of this global press conference, everything came naturally, and two large orders were signed.

The contract was signed, and Tianfeng Technology's official website, on the homepage, officially announced that it had signed an order for 200 turbofan 30 engines with Airbus and an order for 150 turbofan 30 engines with Boeing.

As soon as the news was released, the turbofan 30 engine became even more popular, especially in China, which can be described as hot. Many people were flirting with each other and had a hot discussion on the Internet.

350 turbofan 30 engines!

Total value of US$17.5 billion!

The turbofan 30 engine is like a dazzling star, and it has emerged. In China, because of the turbofan 30 engine, the strong sense of pride in the hearts of the general public swept across the country.

The press conference was very successful. Li Tianfeng took everyone back to Tianfeng Technology Company. At the entrance of the company's large factory, Li Tianfeng found that several senior executives at home were welcomed by a group of middle-level, grassroots managers, and a large number of employees.

Everyone already knows about the order for 350 turbofan 30 engines, and also knows the massive reports from the news media. This time, the cross-channel greeting was basically spontaneous.

Yang Xianfeng also rushed over from Tianxin City. At this moment, Yang Xianfeng was filled with joy and even thought to himself how wise his choice was.

After Li Tianfeng returned to the company, he worked with everyone, full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm. The development of the turbofan 30 engine, the development of the J-18 fighter and the J-30 fighter, went hand in hand!

City South Base.

Wind tunnel laboratory, where the wind tunnel experiment of the J-30 fighter jet is being carried out.

Wind tunnel experiment refers to an aerodynamic experimental method that places an aircraft or other object model in a wind tunnel to study gas flow and its interaction with the model to understand the aerodynamic characteristics of actual aircraft or other objects.

A J-30 fighter model is already here. This is a J-30 fighter model specially used for wind tunnel testing. Although it is not a real J-30 fighter, its appearance is the same as the J-30 fighter, but its size is much smaller.

If a real J-30 fighter jet is used for wind tunnel tests, the airflow will blow at a speed equivalent to flight, and its power consumption will be amazing.

According to the principle of similarity, the aircraft can be made into a small-scale model with geometric similarity. As long as some similar parameters are maintained consistent, the airflow speed of the test can be lower than the flight speed within a certain range, and the aerodynamic acting on the aircraft during real flight can be calculated based on the test results.

Judging from the test situation, the pressure measurement test of the J-30 fighter jet is now underway.

The force measurement experiment is a wind tunnel experiment that uses wind tunnel balances (see wind tunnel testing instruments) to measure aerodynamics and torques acting on the model. It is one of the most important experimental projects in wind tunnel experiments.

"Expert Wang, this is the experimental data, you can take a look."

A technician gave the data from the pressure measurement experiment just now to Wang Dayong, a wind tunnel experiment expert next to him. As one of the aerodynamic design experts of Tianfeng Technology Company, Wang Dayong is responsible for a series of wind tunnel tests of the J-30 fighter.

The force measurement experiments mainly include: longitudinal and lateral force measurement experiments of the entire model and components, jet experiments, static and dynamic elastic experiments, plug-in force measurement and placement trajectory experiments, etc.

Just now, it was the longitudinal and lateral force measurement experiment in the force measurement experiment. Wang Dayong took these test data and looked at it, nodded, and then said loudly: "Start the jet test!"

According to the experimental outline, several technicians started jet tests again...

………

In China, a famous shipyard.

When it comes to this shipyard, it is famous. Our 052d missile destroyer is built here. In addition to the 052d, there are 052c missile destroyers, as well as other ships of multiple models.

The factory's dock is busy. One of the 052c missile destroyers under construction is in the stage of power system construction and installation. Two large gas turbine engines are waiting to be installed and will be installed in the power compartment of the missile destroyer.

Several workers were busy and everyone was preparing to install the engine. One of the workers seemed to be young. Seeing these two gas turbine engines, they couldn't help but "huh" and then shouted loudly.

"Brother Yang, come and take a look. It seems that the engine has been made wrong!"

The "Brother Yang" among young workers looks in his thirties, and it seems that he has more than ten years of working experience. He is considered an experienced old worker.

"Brother Yang" immediately came over, looked at the two engines, and couldn't help but say, "Yes, it seems wrong. In the past, the engines were full of foreign codes and imported from Ukraine. This looked exactly like a domestic engine."

"Brother Yang" with a puzzled look immediately looked carefully. The engine was relatively large, with a diameter of more than one meter and a weight of seven or eight hundred kilograms.

The other workers next to them also gathered up and looked around the two engines. Suddenly, one of the workers said loudly with surprise in their tone: "Look at everyone!"

Following the instructions of the worker, everyone saw the icons and words of "Tianfeng Technology Company". Everyone looked at each other and thought to themselves, is this the engine produced by Tianfeng Technology Company?
