Chapter 586 The pit has been dug, waiting for someone to jump

Le Maire felt that his years of experience had been ruthlessly challenged.

After listening to the specific plan proposed by the other party, one of his thoughts was - can it still be done like this?

But if you think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be any problem.

This kind of gameplay cannot fool even fools. The whole world knows what your two models are, but it can really circumvent regulatory restrictions.

Of course, in comparison, without the two parties having to pay additional fees to each other, the Chinese are equivalent to creating a brand new model from scratch, and the NH90 has already invested a lot of resources.

To put it into perspective, Eurocopter is at a small loss.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, it is quite good to get such a result.

And in the final analysis, the reason for this small loss cannot be blamed on the Chinese people.

It was completely caused by the intrigues of several partners.

Now it is quite good to be able to stop the loss of NH90, a project that is at risk of being unfinished.

Therefore, Le Maire has already agreed to this plan in his heart.

But of course there is still some tension in the scene.

Otherwise, if you bow your head too quickly, it will easily allow the other party to take advantage of you, and it will be difficult to carry out subsequent cooperation.

"Mr. Le Maire, before formalizing the cooperation plan, we still have several important details that need to be confirmed with you."

After a slightly relaxed exchange of views, Cui Wenxue also knew that this time it was basically stable, so he changed the subject and began to complete another task assigned by Chang Haonan:

"Since it has been determined that we will be responsible for the rotor, transmission and front fuselage, the relevant parts parameters and process selection must be exactly as we said and cannot be replaced casually. Of course, on the premise that the parts meet the requirements, We will not restrict suppliers."

Flamel just felt a little strange. After all, this is something that almost every serious technician will know. It seems that there is no need to emphasize it again:

"This is natural. We have all received professional training and cannot casually modify the technical solutions provided by suppliers. Why do you have such concerns?"

"Isn't this...no way, it's also some lessons learned from the past."

Cui Wenxue picked up the cup and took a sip of water:

"You used to do business in the European and American markets, and your contacts were all relatively high-end customers. You may not have this experience."

"But we mainly deal with the sinking market, and we have seen all kinds of customers, so we must add this content, otherwise it will be easy to make things unclear..."

To put it simply, beware of fools but not fools.

Party A's magical operation is something that Party B cannot fully take care of even if it exhausts its imagination.

It is more convenient to add the disclaimer directly to the contract.

His words made Pierre frown, and even felt a little sorry for the Chinese counterpart opposite him.

It’s hard to imagine what kind of customer could force such cautious habits.

Le Maire wrote down this content directly in his notebook.

When I get back, I will ask the legal departments of domestic aviation companies to learn from it quickly...

But in fact, when Chang Haonan made this request, he was not thinking about avoiding responsibility, but simply digging a hole in this area.

Of course, it is not digging a hole for the Europeans, but digging a hole for the Japanese.

Although he said that "there will be no restrictions on the choice of suppliers."

But this is just like the carrot hill during recruitment.

I've set out a lot of restrictions so that you can only find ready stock from one supplier.

This is why it was emphasized earlier that component parameters and process selection cannot be changed indiscriminately.

Having said that, if NSK Group just puts a brand on the bearings it buys back, Chang Haonan would really not be able to do it easily.

But in order to surpass Bingcheng's original products, they secretly modified some parameter calibrations to make their OEM products look more powerful.

This is completely giving assists to Chang Haonan.

In fact, if we really talk about it, the Japanese’s level of fraud is indeed very high.

The parameters they marked falsely have been calculated and are not marked randomly.

Generally there is no problem.

After all, in most cases, designers leave enough margin.

Counting the virtual markup, it is nothing more than leaving 15% and turning it into 5%.

At most, it affects the reliability of some limit states outside the technical manual.

In fact, this is the main reason why many Japanese companies dare to make counterfeit goods and have not been discovered for decades.

It was not until more than twenty years later that as the level of human design became higher and higher, there was no need to leave as much margin as in the past, but the Japanese failed to keep up with the times, and the problem gradually became be exposed.

However, with Torch Group's current level of calculation, it can already grasp the nuances and make things big.

……

After finalizing the most critical part, the rest became much more normal.

So much so that the person who even asked was no longer Cui Wenxue, who secretly copied the answers, but Guo Jingshan, who was really considering the technical issues of helicopter design:

"Also, we are only responsible for the front half of the fuselage design. Although it is an independent piece, we still need to coordinate with you on this aspect."

"I've read the information you sent me before, and it's so whimsical to use integral composite materials to make the body. Although it can reduce the weight a lot on paper, it will be a complete disaster in terms of maintenance."

"Helicopters are different from fixed-wing aircraft. Most of the flight conditions are in the troposphere where the environment fluctuates violently. There are very high requirements for damage resistance and ease of maintenance once problems occur."

"There are also the cabin floor and the tail door ramp. These two parts are definitely touched during cargo loading, unloading and transportation. It is impossible to avoid bumps and bumps. You also specially promoted this springboard tail in your materials. The door can directly load and unload small vehicles, but it turns out that this part has to be made of carbon fiber with insufficient impact resistance. Doesn’t it mean that it has to be replaced every few missions?”

The more Guo Jingshan talked about it, the more outrageous he felt.

When he made the decision to introduce the Dolphins, he felt that he could only look up to the other party.

As a result, only more than ten years have passed, and Europeans have become so unreliable that even he can see the flaws in the design at a glance:

"Therefore, we think we should still use lithium aluminum alloy and traditional riveting process. If we must reduce weight, we can try to work hard on the structure. But if you insist on using composite materials, then if there is a problem with the life of the fuselage in the future, We cannot be responsible."

After hearing these words, the mood on the other side was very stable.

Pierre even showed a happy smile that resembled a hero's understanding:

"You don't have to worry about this. The technical information sent previously is for the two current prototypes. We have also discovered problems with large-area carbon fiber materials. Replacing lithium-aluminum alloy is also our next step."

"As for the weight reduction issue, the NH90 left a large enough take-off power redundancy at the beginning of the design, so it is not a big problem."

"..."

The subsequent talks ended in such a cordial and friendly atmosphere.

On the Chinese side, Bingfei Group is naturally very satisfied.

Not only did he get another foreign cooperation project, he also perfectly completed the additional tasks assigned by Chang Haonan.

No matter how you look at it, it's a win.

As for Eurocopter, it’s not a loss anyway.

It's a happy ending.

Except for NSK Group, which is still completely kept in the dark...
