Chapter 494 Ultra-fast R&D
After the first prototype of the MT60 aircraft came off the production line in 1990, it began non-stop flight test work.

In terms of test flight performance, MT60 is quite good.

The research and development of MT60 can be carried out so smoothly, we still have to talk about the original Y10 research and development team.

A team with experience in large aircraft manufacturing, and then come to build this kind of regional airliner, it means that it is so easy to catch.

Moreover, the research and development team of Mota Aircraft is no longer just the same people as before.

Mota Aircraft recruits a large number of aircraft-related professionals from colleges and universities across the country.

It has to be said that the current college students are generally much better than those college students in later generations in terms of effort in learning knowledge.

Mota Aircraft has recruited a lot of talents over the years.

Talents + sufficient research and development funds have jointly created the ultra-fast research and development speed of MT60 and MT90.

As for making this piece?
Xidu Aircraft Manufacturing Factory has invested a lot of money in technical transformation, updating production equipment and improving production technology.

As for where the money comes from?
Xidu Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd. borrowed money from Meta Investment with the shares held by Mota Aircraft Research and Development Co., Ltd. as collateral.

The most important point is that the interest on the borrowed money is not too high, and the interest is determined according to the inflation rate.

In other words, the money actually belonged to Meta Investment and lent it to Xidu Aircraft Factory without interest. As for the repayment period, it didn't say anything.

Xidu Aircraft Manufacturing Factory is updating its production equipment. If there are domestic ones, it will naturally purchase domestic ones.

If there is no one in China, we will purchase it abroad.

If foreign purchases are not available, then domestic manufacturers can only conduct self-research.

Yuzhou No. [-] Machine Tool Co., Ltd. is now the number one in the country in the field of machine tool products. In the past few years, R&D investment has always been high. As a result, even though the sales of Yuzhou No. [-] Machine Tool are quite good, there is still no way to make a profit.

In the end, the Mota Group couldn't take it anymore.

After all, Mota Group is a listed company, so it must consider the issue of profitability.

Therefore, Yuzhou Second Machine Tool Co., Ltd. made some changes and introduced Meta Investment as an investor.

When you are short of money, get financing.

Leading the investment by Meta Investment will give Yuzhou Second Machine Tool Co., Ltd. continuous burning of money for development.

Internet companies can burn money to develop, so Yuzhou Second Machine Tool Co., Ltd., which is also a high-tech enterprise, can naturally burn money to develop.

The money these years has not been spent in vain.

Yuzhou No.[-] Machine Tool has specially customized some machine tools used in the field of aircraft manufacturing for Xidu Aircraft Manufacturing Factory.

"The compliance test flight has almost been completed, and the airworthiness certification test flight will be carried out next."

An aircraft needs to go through a scientific research test flight, then a compliance test flight, followed by an airworthiness certification test flight, and finally a functional reliability test flight.

The entire four test flight procedures are all completed, and only after that can the passenger flight be officially implemented.

The research and development of aircraft is undoubtedly a rather long matter.

From the establishment of the project to the official introduction of the aircraft to the market for commercial operation, it will take ten years to prepare.

Even ten years may not be enough.

Even though there was already the Yun-7 civil aviation regional aircraft in the past, the MT60 is still very different from the Yun-7. This is a brand new airliner designed according to European and American civil aviation standards.

Therefore, in the entire process, everything must be done well, and high standards must be required.

Under high standards, the whole time will be lengthened.

There is no way, slow work produces meticulous work!

At this time, the domestic civil aviation passenger transport market has begun to gradually improve in terms of demand, but it has not yet exploded.

So in Chen Huaiqing's heart, he was not so urgent.

After all, the progress of MT60 at this time has exceeded Chen Huaiqing's psychological expectations. Now it seems that in 93 or 94, MT60 will be able to start commercial operation.

"The flight test must be done well, not to mention finding out all the problems, but it cannot be said that there are major problems."

Although airplanes are known as the safest means of transportation in the world, the accident rate is extremely low.

But once there is an accident, it basically belongs to infinitely close to 100% seeing the King of Hades.

In fact, there is another very important reason for the low rate of aircraft accidents, that is, regular maintenance of aircraft.

Airplanes in some countries often crash!
It is because the maintenance is not done well, and there is also the pilot's driving skills.

Modern aircraft have a lot of various auxiliary driving functions, basically follow the process, and it is very simple to fly normally.

What can really reflect the technical level of a pilot must be when the plane encounters an abnormal situation.

Pilots with good skills can solve problems even if they encounter problems.

low level...

Don't count on it.

Just pray that there are no problems.

"Boss, don't worry, for the flight test, we strictly follow the standards."

MT60 is a regional airliner. In terms of market positioning, it does not mean that it only focuses on the domestic market.

For example, the Yun-7 aircraft can only be used in the domestic civil aviation market. As for selling it to the outside world...

No one wants it at all.

As for the Y-7 being cheap?

Soviet planes are also cheap.

Although the civil aviation airliners of the Soviet Union are much worse than those of Europe and the United States.However, the price of an aircraft of the same level is only one-half or one-third of that of European and American airliners.

Under such circumstances, Soviet civil aviation airliners are also widely used in many countries, especially in countries that are not so economically developed, Soviet civil aviation airliners are the first choice.

Let's solve a problem first.

As for the issue that Soviet civil aviation airliners are not as long as European and American airliners...

The price is cheap!

you get what you pay for.

Furthermore, there is still no problem in using it for more than ten or twenty years.

After so many years, it is time for the aircraft to be phased out.

What is the use of European and American aircraft that can last for 50 to [-] years?

After all these years, can't there be a better plane?
That's when it's time to change it.

In other words, when civil aviation airliners were monopolized by Europe and the United States, the technological development of civil aviation airliners became much slower.

On a global scale, in terms of technological development, in fact, to a certain extent, it has indeed stagnated.

It's just that this stagnation has been overshadowed by the vigorous development of the Internet.

Of course, the technological release of the third technological revolution is almost at its peak. At this stage, there are only so many things.

Perhaps, there are also many achievements in biotechnology, but it seems that there are not many shocking achievements.

Cloning technology……

Cloning technology is in development, and human cloning is strictly prohibited.

It can't be used for human cloning, but can only be used for cloning animals, so everyone doesn't seem to be that interested.

Sure enough, people still have to attack themselves, which is the greatest interest to activate.

Like all kinds of weapons, all of them are directly manufactured for the purpose of destroying people.
