Chapter 574 Shocked Chief Master Ma

Panshan Group Headquarters, top floor.

In the reception room, Liu Tao and Li Weimin are together.

As the general manager and party secretary of Huaxia Southwest Industrial Group Corporation, Li Weimin is responsible for the overall work of the entire Huaxia Southwest Industrial Group. Liu Tao wants to restart the Yun-10 aircraft project, so he naturally has to reach a consensus with Li Weimin.

The Yun-10 aircraft project is not just the Yun-10 aircraft!

It involves multiple links such as design, manufacturing, and flight testing. Once it is successfully developed, there will be tens of thousands of supporting enterprises!

Like automobiles, large aircraft have a very long supply chain. No company can manufacture all aircraft parts alone, but requires tens of thousands of suppliers to provide products. This means that the development of large aircraft complete machine projects can drive the development of thousands of upstream and downstream factories and enterprises.

If it develops well, the aviation industry alone can provide two to three million jobs, and the upstream and downstream industrial chains can provide at least 20 to 30 million jobs.

Of course, the investment here is very large.

Even if the Yun-10 aircraft is successfully developed, even if the prototype is manufactured to complete a series of tests, once it is mass-produced, it will require a lot of money to support the industrial chain.

Just like Huaxia Automobile Group and Huaxia Motorcycle Group, they are developing rapidly, but they also need to support the development of the industrial chain to achieve rapid development.

Otherwise, if the industrial chain is incomplete and cannot keep up, it will be a drag.

When the secretary came in to report, Ma Fengshan had already arrived, so Liu Tao asked the secretary to bring Ma Fengshan in.

Soon, Liu Tao saw the secretary bringing Ma Fengshan in.

Looking at Ma Fengshan, Liu Tao couldn't help but respect him.

The domestic large aircraft project was restarted in the 21st century, and various analyses of the Y-10's cancellation came out. At the same time, the experience of Ma Fengshan, the founder of the domestic large aircraft, was naturally made public.

Let's not talk about the reasons for the cancellation of the large aircraft. The members of the Y-10 team have made sincere contributions to the large aircraft project.

"Hello, Chief!" Ma Fengshan stood up straight and spoke loudly.

He didn't know how to address the two, but it was always right to address them as 'chief'.

Liu Tao smiled and said, "Master Ma, you have worked hard. You flew directly back from the United States and flew directly to Kunming City as soon as possible!"

"Thank you for your hard work!" Liu Tao shook hands with Ma Fengshan.

Li Weimin also smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with Ma Fengshan.

Because of Liu Tao, Panshan Group has great respect and attention for scientists and technicians.

The salary and benefits of great scientists and level 10 technicians are the same as those of them.

They will even arrange a single-family villa, a special car and a special driver.

Ma Fengshan was flattered. He had met the leader before, but he still felt flattered at this time.

After the secretary left, Liu Tao asked Ma Fengshan to sit down, brewed some tea, drank three cups of tea, and exchanged some greetings. The atmosphere became harmonious.

Liu Tao asked, "Master Ma Fengshan, if the Y-10 project is restarted, do you want to serve as the chief designer of the Y-10 project? Can your health still allow you to serve as the chief designer of the Y-10 project?"

As far as Liu Tao knows, Ma Fengshan's health is not good.

This can be seen from Ma Fengshan's current situation. Although Ma Fengshan is less than 60 years old, his hair has turned white and his complexion is not good.

"My two leaders, I know that my health is not good, but the Y-10 is my biggest regret in my life. As long as the Y-10 project can be restarted, I am willing to fight for my life and die on the road of development. If the Y-10 is not successfully developed, I will die. I just hope that when the Y-10 is successfully developed, my family can tell me this news when they worship me, and I will be satisfied." Ma Fengshan said firmly.

Liu Tao nodded.

"This time when the Y-10 project is restarted, our Panshan Group will provide 20 billion yuan in special funds, of which 5 billion is research and development funds, and 15 billion is used to form a supporting system." Liu Tao said slowly.

"Really? Is there really 20 billion yuan in special funds?" Ma Fengshan's eyes lit up and couldn't help asking excitedly.

You know, the Y-10 project cost a total of 580 million yuan from the beginning to the end.

Although the money was more valuable at that time, even considering inflation, the 20 billion yuan special funds still exceeded Ma Fengshan's imagination.

Even if the R\u0026D funds only account for a quarter of the total, it is still 5 billion RMB.

One of the most important reasons why the Y-10 project failed was that the funds were insufficient. The 168 million RMB funds applied for were not approved, which meant that the Y-10 aircraft had no funds to fly further and conduct more tests.

"Well, 20 billion RMB special funds, not a penny less!" Liu Tao nodded and said, "But while carrying out the Y-10 project, we must also develop regional aircraft. We Chinese need trunk aircraft and regional aircraft."

The Y-10 aircraft has 178 seats in the economy class and 124 seats in the hybrid class. The maximum take-off weight is 110 tons, the maximum cruising speed is 974 km/h, the practical ceiling is up to 12,000 meters, and the maximum range is 8,300 kilometers.

This is a trunk aircraft.

But Liu Tao also knew that it would be very difficult to conquer it all at once, especially to form a supporting system.

So he wanted to start the development of regional aircraft at the same time. Regional aircraft usually refer to small passenger aircraft with less than 100 seats, which are mainly used for passenger transportation between large cities and small and medium-sized cities. Regional aviation only began to rise in the 1960s, but it developed very quickly, especially after the United States adopted the policy of "relaxing regulations" on the civil aviation transportation industry in 1978.

Liu Tao hopes to train a group of technical teams through the development of regional aircraft, and at the same time support supporting enterprises and build a supply chain.

Compared with large aircraft such as Yun-10, regional passenger aircraft is much easier.

And in a sense, the passenger aircraft modified from Yun-7 and Yun-8 are actually regional aircraft.

It's just that Yun-7 is too outdated in Liu Tao's opinion. The maximum take-off weight is 24 tons, the maximum commercial load is 5.5 tons, the cruising speed is 420 kilometers per hour, the full load range is 614 kilometers per hour (5 tons), the full fuel range is only 1976 kilometers (3 tons), the practical ceiling is only 8500 meters, and the passenger capacity is only about 60 people.

And like the passenger plane converted from the Y-8, the noise is not as loud.

Although it has been put into use since 1984, the media always calls it the first generation of passenger planes developed by China, but Liu Tao feels that it is always inappropriate to call it that.

That is just a helpless thing.

The sky of China needs an aircraft that is fundamentally developed on the basis of passenger planes.

"Understood, Chief!" Ma Fengshan said.

Then the discussion was about the details, such as the location selection, such as the investigation, construction and upgrading of the industrial chain.

Panshan Group will not control all of them, but core key factories such as the general assembly plant and the aircraft engine plant must be controlled in its hands.

Although they are all state-owned enterprises, everything belongs to the country in the final analysis, but there are still differences after all. If it is your own interest, you have to fight for it.
