Chapter 844

That's $5 billion, not to mention director Zhao and Fang Yong, but many experts from Brazil's National Aeronautics and Space Administration, such as eduo and Cristo, are not calm.

To know about regional airliner, Embraer developed and produced emb-120 regional airliner in the mid-1980s, which made a certain reputation in the world regional airliner market.

In the 1990s, with the asset restructuring of Embraer and the introduction of some private capital, Embraer began to develop emb-140 regional airliner on the basis of emb-120 with the support of Brazil's National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Later renamed as erj-140 series regional airliner, in addition to the smaller size, the performance is basically equivalent to the trj-500 regional airliner of Tengfei group.

But just because of this, Embraer has encountered unprecedented difficulties in this project. From the initial plan put forward in 1989, to the sudden termination of the project in 1991, and then to the restart, the erj-140 series regional airliner has not even begun.

Otherwise, edoo and credo will not be able to run all over the world in order to find stable and reliable parts suppliers for Brazil's aerospace industry company.

Brazil's aerospace industry is one of the best in South America. However, from the world perspective, Brazil's aerospace industry is a typical science oriented student. There are no problems in aircraft design, R & D, and even some manufacturing. In some fields, Brazil's aerospace industry is the first in the world.

But if you break up Brazil's aerospace industry, you will find that there are very few things that really belong to Brazil.

Industrial design relies on the help of Loma, Boeing, Northrop and other giants in the United States; production equipment is customized products in Europe; metal materials are imported from Alcoa, and high-end composite materials are products from Japan and Spain

Only a small part of them are produced by Brazilians themselves, and then these materials, parts and products collected from all over the world are integrated in the local production line to produce the so-called Brazilian "domestic" aircraft.

According to the development of globalization, the aircraft production system of Embraer based on global suppliers is very in line with the development concept of today's economic integration.

Besides, it has gained great benefits. Among other things, the super first-class cost control is not comparable to that of ordinary aircraft manufacturers. If not, Embraer's emb-120 regional airliner will not achieve good sales performance in the world, and then many old brand regional airliner manufacturers will be defeated.

The problem is that this kind of playing method has many advantages, but it has to have a necessary premise, that is, its own strength is strong enough, its technology is hard enough, it can replace the supplier of the jump counter at the critical moment, and it can use its absolute strength to rub hard on the ground according to the head of the jump counter, so as to lay out the whole ball and command the industry to achieve the maximum benefits.

Like Boeing.

It's true that the low-end manufacturing industry is desperately flowing out of the United States, but the high-end aviation manufacturing industry is firmly in the hands of the Americans. From high-end aircraft engines to ordinary metal rivets, the United States can completely abandon the world supply chain for self-sufficiency. The only disadvantage may be that the cost is a little high, and there are no other problems.

It is with such strong backing that Boeing, out of cost control, is in an invincible position in the international competition. It puts the supply chain under the global pattern, and it is natural to find the optimal solution of the product by using the optimal allocation of the market, because Boeing's strength is there.

Embraer has an ambition to copy Boeing, but it does not have Boeing's fearless strength. It is OK to make small fights. The novice village model does not threaten the giants, and it is too lazy to pay attention to you. However, once you get out of the novice village and are ready to grab the boss, fierce repression will follow.

Yes, Brazil's Aerospace Industry Corporation has been ruthlessly suppressed. It's not from the United States, the leader of the aviation industry, but from Canada, the United States' iron brother.

No way, Brazilian aerospace industry company erj-140 series regional airliner will pose a great threat to the crj-200 series regional airliner just put into the market by Bombardier Canada in terms of performance, mission, range and operating cost.

We should know that crj-200 series regional airliner is in an absolute monopoly position in the international regional airliner market. This is because the traditional propeller regional airliner is being phased out, and the market urgently needs advanced regional airliner with high speed, high comfort and excellent performance to replace it. Secondly, and most importantly, crj-200 series regional airliner is excellent enough.

The combination of the two will lead to the crj-200 series regional airliner becoming the hot money in the regional airliner market as soon as it is launched, which immediately gives Bombardier a monopoly position in this field.

Business is always good to eat alone, how can people get a piece of it?

Because of this, when Bombardier learned that Embraer was going to launch the erj-140 series regional airliner of the same level as crj-200 series regional airliner, it naturally tried its best to attack this latecomer.Want to use GE series turbofan engine or PW series turbofan engine? Then I will sign an exclusive supply contract with them to block Brazil aerospace industry company from obtaining more than 6 tons of turbojet engine.

Brazil's aerospace industry company has no choice but to find the UK's Luo Luo company. The problem is that Luo Luo company only has an ae3007 turbofan engine that has just been put into test and verification, with a maximum thrust of only 4.5 tons. Its main purpose is long endurance UAV and small business aircraft, and its performance is much worse than that of General Motors and Pratt Whitney products.

However, due to Bombardier's suppression, Embraer has no choice but to use it, because Brazilians have no choice at all.

However, the engine is still good. At least the British barely communicate with each other. Brazil has no way to provide basic high-end aviation materials.

Brazilians have no choice but to achieve the performance of Bombardier's crj-200 regional airliner, their erj-140 regional airliner will have to work hard on its structure, that is to say, to reduce weight as much as possible.

However, weight loss involves high-end aviation materials with outstanding indicators. The whole earth can provide no more than two slaps for several times, and a considerable part of them can't even be bought because of Bombardier.

As a result, the entire erj-140 series regional airliner project is in trouble. The huge amount of R & D funds is about to be wasted. Brazilians finally can't sit still. Led by Brazil's National Aeronautics and Space Administration, they form an expert group and start looking for potential partners all over the world to see if they can help erj-140 series regional airliner project tide over the difficulties.

As a result, China, which they were not optimistic about, was given a big deal of US $5 billion by Tengfei group, which made these desperate Brazilians' eyes bright and seemed to find hope.
