Chapter 1075 The Four Major Aviation Power Companies in the World
After leaving Xidu, Chen Huaiqing's plane landed at Chengdu Airport and first went to Mota Power Chengdu Aero Engine Co., Ltd.

Chengdu Aero Engine is also an extremely famous aircraft engine manufacturer in the world, and its business focuses on the research and development and manufacturing of aircraft engines.

As for other businesses, they are not allowed to be done. It is a waste of energy and not pleasing.

In the past, Chengdu Aerospace Development Co., Ltd. was not very prominent.

Since being acquired by Mottar Power and injecting the technology and R&D team of the WS-10, the supporting aircraft engine for the Y-8, into it, the development of Chengdu Aero Engine has entered a stage of rapid growth.

Over the past two decades, the research and development funding support obtained by Chengdu Aero Engine Corporation has increased year by year.

The most important point is the continuity of research and development.

This has been the case for a long time in the domestic research and development of aviation engines.

The engine is equipped for the aircraft.

For example, when a new aircraft research and development project is launched, a supporting engine research and development project for this aircraft will be launched at this time.

If the development of the new aircraft fails and the project is cancelled, then the supporting engine project will naturally be useless.

It was cut off directly.

Chengdu Aero Engine Corporation of China has changed this R&D thinking.

An aircraft engine is not designed to be used solely for a particular type of aircraft.

After the core engine is developed, multiple engine models can be derived from the core engine to adapt to the power requirements of different aircraft.

Preserving the technical data and R&D team of the WS-8 is undoubtedly a milestone event for the development of China's aviation industry technology.

In industrial technology, it doesn’t mean that if you mastered a certain technology decades ago, you will still master this technology decades later!

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many lost technologies.

Some technologies have detailed technical information, but it takes time to understand these technologies and restore them.

As for further advancement based on this technology, it will take even longer.

For example, if we haven't practiced a certain skill we learned for many years, it would take a long time to practice it again before we can reach the original level.

As for wanting to go further...

Hard!

With the guarantee of a steady stream of R&D funds, Chengdu Aero Engine Corporation of China is continuously expanding the size of its technical team by relying on the WS-8 technical team.

Every year, we recruit talented newcomers to join the team, and then separate outstanding talents from the team to join new project development teams.

It can be said that Chengdu Airlines is now full of talented people.

The engines currently developed and produced by Chengdu Aero Engine Corporation include not only transport aircraft engines, but also fighter aircraft engines.

and drone engines.

"Director Qing, this is the LS-845 engine we are currently developing."

Chengdu Aero Engine's strategy for naming its engines is simple and clear.

The LS-800 series engines, such as the LS-845, are 45-ton thrust-level engines.

Once successfully developed, the LS-845 engine will rank third in the global aviation engine thrust rankings.

第一名是GE9X，推力约60.917吨；第二名是GE90-115B，推力约58吨。

The third place now is PW400-112, with a thrust of about 44.9 tons.

It has to be said that the United States' strength in aviation engines still maintains its number one position in the world, and is still far ahead.

"Our 845 engine uses the latest ceramic matrix composite materials on the stator components. Next, we will also try to use ceramic matrix composite materials on the turbine rotating components."

Chen Huaiqing was reading the introduction to ceramic-based composite materials.

Ceramic matrix composites are materials made by combining ceramic matrix with high-strength and high-elasticity fibers and matrix.

Ceramic-based composites have excellent properties such as high temperature resistance, high strength and stiffness, relatively light weight, and corrosion resistance.

It also overcomes the disadvantages of ceramic-based materials being brittle and causing cracks or even fractures when under stress, leading to material failure.

Material technology is the foundation of all scientific and technological applications. Many ideas cannot be realized due to the lack of material support.

When it comes to the development of new materials, the Materials Research Institute under the Mota Institute of Science and Technology has extremely rich experience.

A lot of new materials have been discovered, some of which are kept strictly confidential and not announced to the public.

At the Mota Institute of Science and Technology, the assessment of ranks has never been based solely on the number of papers published.

The paper-only evaluation system has extremely huge problems.

Many research institutions and universities only focus on papers.

In order to obtain a higher professional title, everyone tries every possible means.

There are quite a few people who commit fraud.

He even took possession of his students' achievements...

Chen Huaiqing strictly prohibits and cracks down on these things.

He has always adhered to one point, that is, if someone commits academic fraud, then this person has no potential for development in academics.

People who have no development potential will naturally be abandoned.

It's just right to use it as a warning to others!
Chen Huaiqing: "I looked at it and found that it is used quite a lot on new materials."

"In recent years, we have made great progress in material technology. Some materials have actually been available for a long time, and we have a high level of understanding of the performance of materials."

When something new comes out, it is naturally impossible to use it immediately.

This is not realistic.

You must first understand the properties of the material and conduct various tests on the material.

Chen Huaiqing said he understood. Since these professionals said there was no problem, he naturally would not say anything more.

People who talk big will not be able to survive in the Mota system.

The project leader we need is someone who can truly lead the entire team forward.

Because it concerns everyone's interests.

A person who talks big cannot possibly be a project leader.

Only people with real talent and knowledge can do it.

It is also because of this atmosphere where the capable are promoted and the mediocre are demoted that progress in technological research and development has always been quite rapid.

The LS-845 engine is positioned to be used for the next generation of civil airliners produced by Xidumer.

Now the Mot220 aircraft has officially begun to be delivered to domestic airlines and is officially in operation.

The development of larger aircraft will also be put on the agenda.

This is inevitable.

We have been taking one step at a time and now that we have officially acquired the medium- and long-range wide-body aircraft, the natural thing is to pursue bigger ones.

In fact, the next generation of passenger aircraft is still under consideration.

In other words, there is still considerable controversy.

Mainly, it now seems that the Mot150 and Mot220 aircraft have fully met the needs of the domestic aviation market.

As for the overseas market?
We can only pursue non-European and American markets.

As for the European and American markets, Chen Huaiqing's attitude is just to do his best.

He never expected to enter the European and American markets with mainline passenger aircraft.

Since the 1990s, the wave of globalization has swept the world.

And now, trade protectionism is beginning to rise gradually.
