It is precisely because of such determination that Zhuang Jianye will lead Tengfei group to carry out silent transformation in the aerospace field.
For example, in the aerospace field, Tengfei group is the most active advocator of satellite navigation system. In addition to self-control, the carrier based aircraft or patrol aircraft in the distant sea can not use ground guided navigation. Only satellite navigation is the most economical and practical.
Another is the planned ocean monitoring and communication satellite system, which is mainly to solve the problems of ocean environment detection, weather change and ocean communication. After all, if the carrier based aircraft wants to go out to sea, the ground communication station can't count on it. It can only rely on satellites in space.
Finally, the anti-ship ballistic missile in the "Assassin's mace" plan is the most powerful deterrent of COSCO, which is enough to support the carrier based aircraft to have a peaceful harbor before they set foot in the ocean.
This is true in the aerospace field, not to mention in the aviation field. For so many years, Tengfei group's Jian jiao-7max has never stopped its research and development. In the final analysis, no matter it is Zhenlong series veriifcation aircraft or any other model, it is exploring the feasibility of improving Jian jiao-7max. Therefore, Tengfei group has always been in the leading position in China in terms of carrier based fighters.
In addition, in the field of Shipborne helicopter. In addition to the unsuccessful value of the second shipborne model, the zhi-8max, which is a joint venture between Tengfei group and porcelain capital company, has successfully made its first flight and has been affirmed by the Navy.
If not unexpected, it is very likely to be used as carrier based aircraft of future aircraft carrier or amphibious attack ship.
As for the yun-18nb and the six major changes being carried out, it seems that they have nothing to do with the sea, but in fact these two models are still closely related to the Navy. After all, besides carrier based aircraft, land-based fixed wing aircraft are also indispensable to the Navy.
There must be antisubmarine patrol aircraft to ensure the smooth passage to the sea, right?
There must be bombers coming out of the island chain to deter the enemy, right?
There must be an early warning plane as a reconnaissance force to provide information about the enemy ahead, right?
There has to be an air tanker
Even if the US Navy has a large fleet of carrier based combat aircraft, it is also equipped with a large number of P-3C antisubmarine patrol aircraft, KC-135 aerial refueling aircraft and a series of auxiliary aircraft to cooperate with the ocean fleet operations.
Since there are pearls and jades like the United States in front of us, it's enough for us to feel the pearls and jades in China.
In a word, the key point of this transformation of Tengfei group is to move from land to sea and put all the treasures on the vast ocean. In Zhuang Jianye's words, he wants to be the king of pirates Bah, it's the man of the sea aircraft king!
Since we want to be the king of marine aircraft, carrier based aircraft is naturally the most critical link, and it is also the focus of the development of Tengfei group in the next 10 to 20 years. Although in this regard, Tengfei group is ahead of other domestic aviation enterprises.
However, it is undeniable that compared with the United States, Russia, and even Europe, the gap of Tengfei group is quite large.
On the one hand, the foundation of Tengfei group is relatively late, but the more important thing is the lack of support for large surface ships such as aircraft carriers in China, which leads to the failure of Tengfei group to obtain relevant technical verification and make targeted modifications to the developed models.
In a word, the lack of experience in the development of carrier based aircraft.
This is also the reason why Tengfei group proposed to acquire some technologies of C-2 Greyhound carrier based transport aircraft in the transaction with Lockheed Martin on the pulse III aircraft assembly line.
If they don't have it, they have to find a way to find it. On the contrary, Loma has rich experience and advanced technology in this field. However, due to the so-called export restrictions on sensitive technologies, Loma can't transfer the technology of C-2 Greyhound carrier based transport aircraft to Tengfei group.
Then Tengfei group will not be able to transfer all the technologies related to pulse III aircraft assembly line to Loma. The two companies have talked about this for more than ten rounds, but they can not reach a compromise.
Even Loma has proposed to increase the cost by 300 million to 500 million US dollars.
However, Tengfei group still won't give in, with us $300 million to US $500 million. To be honest, Tengfei group really doesn't pay attention to it. Apart from the maintenance cost of the general assembly line of pulse III aircraft being used by other Boeing companies in one year, Tengfei group can get us $550 million.
Is it a $300 million or $500 million cost? As long as this production line is completed, Tengfei group wants to make the same money as playing.
Therefore, compared with money, Tengfei group attaches more importance to technology, because the C-2 "Greyhound" carrier based transport aircraft for Tengfei group is not only to solve such a simple problem as a carrier based aircraft, but also to grasp the theoretical algorithm and materials of the overall structural layout of catapult takeoff and tail hook landing aircraft based on the C-2 "Greyhound" carrier based transport aircraft choice.
This is very important for the future development of the carrier based aircraft of Tengfei group. What's more, the C-2 "Greyhound" carrier based transport aircraft can become a very good carrier based early warning aircraft, carrier based refueling aircraft and carrier based antisubmarine aircraft with a little change.
How can Tengfei group not want to get it?
Unfortunately, Luoma company, even if you don't let go, you can't do anything about it. Therefore, Tengfei group can only take pulse III aircraft assembly line, just like a very patient fisherman, and lure Luoma with delicious bait, because Zhuang Jianye doesn't believe that Luoma can't be moved by pulse III aircraft assembly line?Unless they're ready to hand over all their business to Boeing.
In fact, it is true that Loma can't resist the temptation of pulse III aircraft assembly line, because they have calculated that this production line will provide unprecedented high-strength production capacity for JSF joint attack fighter project in the future, which will greatly help Lockheed Martin's future profit growth!
But the problem is that Loma also wants to transfer the technology of C-2 "Greyhound" carrier based transport aircraft to Tengfei group. After all, C-2 "Greyhound" carrier based transport aircraft is an old model designed in the 1960s. It has been in service for nearly 30 years in the 1990s, and it has no high and new technology to speak of.
What's more, Lockheed Martin does not believe that Tengfei group can make a similar C-2 "Greyhound" carrier based transport aircraft model, because Tengfei group has been able to get involved in everything for so many years, even though it has been doing so well in China, which is like an encyclopedia.
But in fact, in the eyes of international giants, Tengfei group is similar to some high-tech enterprises in Germany or Japan. It is just a low-cost supporting supplier with slightly outstanding ability and can keep up with the rhythm of American giants.
In fact, what are the products of Tengfei group? Carbon fiber composites, high performance aluminum lithium alloy, satellite cooling system, aircraft product assembly line design. And system integration.
This is not a supporting supplier? What are supporting suppliers?
So where are the giants like Luoma? Tengfei group is a coolie who works hard for them. At most, it's just a senior worker in a suit. Do you want him to develop airplanes in such an enterprise? It doesn't mean that Jordan of NBA is playing quarterback on the football field of Super Bowl. He is completely wrong in direction. He is joking!
But the problem is that some people in the United States can't turn their heads around. There is always a kind of persecution delusion, so they don't agree.
Even if Lockheed Martin has worn its tongue through its own lobbying group, what can it do if it can't give it to the take-off group and wants to build the aircraft assembly line?
It happened that Yakovlev was half disabled by himself, so Loma company, with a long sigh, simply sold Yakovlev.
