"China Tengfei Aerospace (Group) Co., Ltd. and the United Arab Emirates TA aviation production consortium will jointly develop the next generation combat aircraft on the basis of fc-21 fighters. Therefore, both sides have decided to jointly invest US $16 billion to establish a new joint venture as the main body of the next generation combat aircraft development."
There is no press conference, let alone a special statement. China take off and Ta aviation production consortium only jointly issued such a short press release, which caused a great disturbance in the world aviation industry.
A big country in the East wants to be the fourth generation combat aircraft?
Is the UAE in the Middle East involved?
My God, are you sure what I see is true?
This is the soul three questions that people in the industry asked after seeing this news release. There is no way that it is really the combination of a big country in the East and the United Arab Emirates. No one is optimistic about it.
Needless to say, the UAE is a typical example of people who are stupid and have a lot of money; A big country in the East is a little better. At least textile, OEM and other light industrial products are good, but not enough in the field of aviation industry.
So far, a country that has not even formally installed the third-generation domestic combat aircraft has begun to take advantage of the fourth generation combat aircraft. How can we see the feeling that a baby has to start running before she learns to walk? It's really beyond our capacity!
However, how to think is one thing, and how to act is another.
No matter whether China take-off and Emirates TA airlines can make it or not, there are at least two things that make many aviation enterprises in the industry feel like they are in a hurry.
The first is that the gimmick of the fourth generation combat aircraft is really good. China Tengfei used to be an ordinary aviation material supplier, an aviation model manufacturer, and an OEM of European and American aviation giants. As a result, people used the fourth generation combat aircraft as a stepping stone and directly broke open the door of the United Arab Emirates, a big dog family.
Second, cooperative R & D is really attractive. It is said in the press release that China Tengfei and Ta airlines of UAE jointly invested US $16 billion, but in fact 80% of the funds, that is, US $12.8 billion, were provided by UAE, while China Tengfei only provided 20% of the share.
And the 20% share of China's take-off is not advanced, but provided in the form of a lot of intellectual property rights and use authorization. If we take into account the needs of a series of related industrial chains, such as special equipment, data opening, remuneration for technical personnel, test equipment and application test leasing, etc, China's take-off is tantamount to putting the UAE's 12.8 billion US dollars into its own pocket.
Without paying at all, they earned $12.8 billion without any reason by relying on the concept of the fourth generation machine. This business really makes other colleagues feel hot eyed. Therefore, it doesn't matter what they say. They are all honest and desperate. They are looking for their own long-term meal tickets all over the world.
Even if you can't find it, it's good to take a bite of meat.
So Russia's Sukhoi Design Bureau focused on New Delhi and took out the flattened Su-27. With the development code of T-50, it told New Delhi that this is a new generation of combat aircraft no less than the F-22. It would be better to refer to the enemies of Su-27 and F-15 in the future.
New Delhi thought it was reasonable, so without saying a word, it rushed directly into the arms of the Russian people, asking for support and opening the Black Sea; Of course, the Russians were happy. They patted the little brother of New Delhi on the shoulder and gave him $5 billion first. He promised to take you to pretend and force you to fly
South Korea, which has always been full of ambition in the aviation industry, is also uneasy. Seeing that the fourth generation aircraft is so profitable, it immediately takes American Dad's accessories to piece together a similar model, and then high-profile announces that carrier based aircraft will realize the first flight of the first fourth generation aircraft in Asia in 2015.
What? immature?
Take a look at the goods in it. It's a simple version of American father's F-22 fighter. Do you know the F-22? Those who know the goods should come quickly. I won't take you to play when it's too late.
South Korea has successfully attracted Indonesia and Turkey to join in with a big and small kickback.
However, whether it's China's take-off, Russia's Sukhoi, or South Korea's aviation industry, the Lockheed Martin Company of the United States is nothing compared to it. Other people's F-35 fighters are the real super international cooperation projects, with a total value of hundreds of billions of dollars.
Because of this, Luoma doesn't look up to the so-called fourth generation computers of other friendly companies. Let's not say whether it can be achieved or not, even if it can be achieved in a size comparable to that of the F-35?
Loma is proud, but it always has the capital to be proud. In contrast, Europeans are also proud, which makes people confused.
At the moment when China's development of the fourth generation aircraft is booming, the European aviation industry is just like the isolated paradise. Several mainstream aviation media even ridicule this upsurge of the fourth generation aircraft, believing that it is just a trick of several technologically backward countries to cheat money. In any case, Europeans will not do such a bad thing.
What's more, is the fourth generation combat aircraft so invincible?
In detail, that is a paradox. In addition to the fact that the aerodynamic layout of typhoons in Europe, gusts in France and Griffins in Sweden does not meet the key target of stealth, which one is worse than the F-22 of the United States in terms of avionics system, mobility or multi-purpose combat effectiveness?
Because of this, Europeans believe that in the next 30 years, several combat aircraft developed by Europe will be enough to meet the needs of future operations. There is no need to engage in four generations of aircraft that will waste national strength. The cold war is over, and Europe needs peace. Instead of spending a lot of money on armaments, it is better to form a partnership to give more benefits to the people. After all, welfare can get votes, Can the useless iron pimple of the fourth generation machine work?
So the Europeans look up at the arrogant head, even the fourth generation machine's hair is too lazy to take a look, so directly ignore the past, arrogant as the neighbor's little sister, drag do not want.
Of course, although Europeans don't look up to the fourth generation combat aircraft, they are still very strong at the level of three and a half generations, not to mention the others. But as far as Dassault group of France is concerned, it successfully won the UAE Air Force's super large order of 13 billion US dollars three days after China's take-off announced that it would cooperate with UAE to develop the next generation combat aircraft, including 58 mirage-2000-5 fighters; Overhaul and upgrade of 26 gust fighters and existing legal combat aircraft in UAE.
This can be understood as the United Arab Emirates in order to balance the relationship between the two sides bet, not offend each other, but also from another side that Dassault group in the United Arab Emirates is quite powerful.
However, no matter how powerful Dassault is, and no matter how other friendly companies operate, the fourth generation aircraft development trend set off in the international aviation industry has not been stirred up in China, because the relevant media are very cautious about the cooperation project of China's take-off, which can be seen from the reports of the main streaming media.
The television media just gave a short message in less than five seconds in the evening news; The paper media is on the front page, but it's just a small box the size of a matchbox. The key point is that while China's take-off is developing the fourth generation aircraft, Russia, the United States, South Korea, Turkey and other countries have listed the four generation aircraft projects and the first flight schedule one by one, which not only does not highlight the performance of China's take-off, On the contrary, it makes the world feel that China's take-off is mediocre
