Rebirth in 1989: Creating the Chinese Technology Empire

Chapter 524 Super Transport Aircraft: Developing the World’s Largest Aircraft

In Shencheng, there were many people in the conference room of Saxo Airlines today.

The entire conference room was filled with top talents from Saxo Airlines. The Y-20 project was already in the test flight stage. Many of the talents who had been recruited from major research institutes in China had returned.

However, Saxo Airlines now still has many top talents. During the period of R&D and Operation 20, Xu Huasheng recruited many people. On the one hand, he poached people from some places, and on the other hand, he almost packed up the talents who graduated from top domestic universities. Snatched it back.

Although he may not be able to stay with Saxo Airlines in the end, Xu Huasheng can afford to lose the money. So now there are many talents within Saxo Airlines, and most of them are young people. After these young people enter the company, their professional abilities improve very quickly.

After all, Saxo Airlines previously gathered top aviation talents in the country, and Saxo Airlines also poached top talents from various countries around the world, especially from the former Soviet Union. When these people work here, they also need to pass on what they have learned. , bring out more talents.

In the conference room, everyone's eyes were full of expectations.

A meeting of this level is obviously a very important meeting, otherwise Xu Huasheng would not have held a meeting of this level and called all the top talents and senior management of the entire Saxo company over. This is definitely the highest level meeting of the company.

"Everyone, the content of today's meeting is to tell them that Saxo Airlines is going to launch a super large project, and this big project is also a very challenging big project."

Xu Huasheng's words made everyone's eyes light up, especially those aircraft designers poached from the Soviet Union. Their eyes were even more hopeful.

I have been with Saxo Airlines for such a long time, and although my life is high, my job is also very comfortable. But it lacks challenge for them. After all, aircraft like the Y-20 are designs that have been completed long ago in their eyes. The Y-20 produced by Saxo Airlines is nothing more than more advanced technology, and the overall challenge is not too high.

They are looking forward to designing a brand new aircraft so that they can give full play to their talents. This is also what top designers look forward to most.

Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Xu Huasheng smiled slightly and opened the PPT directly.

"This time, we are going to challenge the highest mountain in the history of human aviation. We are going to design the world's largest transport aircraft, which is larger than the An-225. Our 45-ton turbofan engine with a large bypass ratio It is about to be finalized and mass-produced. My request is very simple. Use six such engines to design an aerial Big Mac. Use our most advanced technology to build this Big Mac and let it fly. To the blue sky, there is no upper limit on R&D costs..."

Xu Huasheng said directly. When they heard this, everyone became excited.

"Mr. Xu, is this true?"

Victor asked directly and excitedly, his eyes were full of light, and so were the others.

"Victor, of course it's true. I poached you from the Soviet Union just because I hope that after you come here, you can challenge higher limits. Flying is the dream of all of us, and sending bigger planes into the sky , I am afraid it is the dream of all us aviation people. The An-225 is a miracle for mankind, but I think the An-225 is a miracle but not the end..."

Xu Huasheng's words made everyone take a deep breath.

At this moment, they suddenly felt that their lives had found value. As top talents, they really love this industry.

Especially top aircraft designers like Victor, their hobby is to constantly challenge and design.

They hope that the aircraft they design can continue to break the former and continue to become a miraculous existence.

They had experienced such work in the Soviet Union before, so they designed several excellent transport aircraft. But with the collapse of the Soviet Union, they ushered in their darkest moment.

Now, the fire of dreams in their hearts has been ignited again.

Saxo Airlines is planning to design the world's largest aircraft, and there will be no cap on R&D funding. Just this sentence was enough to make Victor and the others feel excited.

In fact, after joining Saxo Airlines, Victor and the others had already had the urge to design a new aircraft. Because there are too many new technologies that can be used in new aircraft.

From the most basic materials, to engines, to radars, to avionics systems, to electronic equipment, to chip sensors, to airborne computers, etc.,

This feeling is as if a group of Soviet experts suddenly arrived at the core database of the United States. Soviet technology and European and American technology directly collided, and the results produced after the integration of each other were very impressive.

What's more, many of Saxo Aviation's technologies are technologies that were developed decades later. Apart from anything else, it was just about materials. Victor used to think that Soviet materials were very good.

But when I arrived at Saxo Airlines, I discovered that Saxo Airlines’ aeronautical materials technology crushed the Soviet Union and was many years ahead. In particular, complex composite materials directly allow aircraft to have more possibilities. Design compromises that were previously made due to poor materials are no longer needed. Designs that were previously unsolvable are now easily solved with new materials.

In fact, Victor and the others already had various ideas and designs in their minds, but there was no specific project for them to fully utilize their talents. Although drone projects can sometimes use a lot of technology, they still like to build large aircraft. After all, many of them have built transport aircraft and are very skilled in building large aircraft.

The conference room instantly became lively, and everyone was discussing intensely.

With six 45-ton thrust engines, a 1350-ton aircraft can theoretically be propelled into the sky. But nothing can be calibrated by extreme values.

So many things require precise calculations.

As for what it will look like in the end, it just requires complex calculations to set. This time it is not a direct copy of the An-225, but a brand new Big Mac.

The maximum take-off weight of this Big Mac may reach about 1300 tons, while the maximum take-off weight of the An-225 is only about 640 tons. The take-off weight is about twice the difference. This is a completely new model.

At the same time, various indicators of the super early warning aircraft must also be considered, and the aircraft can be assigned indicators based on these indicators. After all, the aircraft Xu Huasheng built this time was not simply used as a transport aircraft.

If the requirements are high, the design will be difficult, but for this group of top talents in the conference room, they like to challenge new limits.

Letting a big thing of about 1300 tons fly into the sky is exciting and proud to think about!
