The Military-industrial Scientific Research System of the Academic Master Chapter 212

Chapter 212 You can't do it, but we can do it!

“Chang Gong, do you want to direct the personnel appointments of Finmeccanica Group?”

Liang Shaoxiu asked with a smile.

"I was serious."

Chang Haonan answered in a very calm tone.

Even the atmosphere in the carriage became serious. Everyone focused their attention on him again, ready to hear what he had to say:

"For example, during the cooperation process, if he comes forward, we can consider making some concessions on non-core issues, and if it is someone else, we will insist on the conditions, so that when there is any further cooperation in the future, We can also occupy some advantageous positions.”

"As for our old friend Colombo himself, because he was promoted and raised on the bonuses we gave him, his foundation lies in the cooperation project with China. When it comes time to choose a partner, he even If you only consider your own interests, you will tend to us, just like this time."

After saying this, the people in the car basically had tacit expressions of understanding.

Everyone is in a mixed system, so they naturally understand this routine. Even if they have never used it, they have at least seen it before.

It's just that no one has thought of using the same method on foreigners in the past.

Of course, from another perspective, China's bargaining chips were really limited before, and there were no opportunities for technical cooperation in the true sense. The so-called "cooperation" was essentially exchanging money for technology, which was indeed not very practical. Have the initiative.

Huai Guomo did not participate in the discussion just now. He just looked at Chang Haonan not far behind him from the corner of his eye.

Before setting off on this trip, he had heard this name many times from his old superior Ding Gaoheng, as well as some things related to the latter.

However, at that time, Huai Guomo paid more attention to Chang Haonan on the technical level, thinking that he should be an engineering genius. This time he specially invited the latter here because the upcoming negotiations involved a large number of Issues related to anti-icing and de-icing require professional attention.

But after seeing the other person today, and after being reminded by Yi Yuanhe just now, he realized that although this student-like junior was young, his vision, or overall view, was very vicious, and his temperament was also very mature.

It can be seen from Chang Haonan's layout in the past year.

As a technical genius who had little influence at first, he did not rush to express his determination and shout slogans as soon as he came up. Instead, he worked step by step, allowing his superiors to first see the possibility of independently developing an aviation industry system, and then after the merger of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas The necessity of this work has been proven.

The subsequent development was a matter of course.

Looking at it this way, it seems that the entire Science and Technology Commission is involved in his calculations...

It wasn't until the convoy arrived at its destination that Huai Guomo, whose thinking had completely changed, ended his brainstorming.

He came to a conclusion:

Chang Haonan should also be involved in the negotiation process.

After getting off the car, Huai Guomo immediately made this request to Chang Haonan.

This is exactly the arrangement that Chang Haonan himself hoped for.

The first round of negotiations was scheduled for the afternoon of that day.

Chang Haonan temporarily borrowed a suit and followed the Chinese negotiating team at the back.

The only person who had ever met him was Rosie Colombo, a representative of the Finmeccanica Group. Naturally, he would not focus too much on a person in the corner of the negotiation table.

Besides, it doesn't matter if you are recognized.

In technical cooperation negotiations, it is reasonable for me to bring a technical person with me, right?

In short, this is how the first formal contact between the two parties began.

Generally speaking, both sides do not expect to achieve any breakthrough results in the first round of negotiations. They mainly want to get familiar with each other and reveal some specific information.

Sometimes some verbal quarrels will be added to establish the tone of the negotiation.

Soon, Chang Haonan got and guessed a lot of the news he wanted from the few words expressed by the other party.

Simply put, the core reason why Europeans are so easy to talk to this time is because of the pressure from the United States.

The so-called pilot's statement that the collision was intentional was completely a smoke bomb used to confuse the media. In fact, within a few days after the accident, investigators suspected that the ice on the wings was caused by weather factors.

This is quite critical for the European aviation industry.

About two years ago, in 1994, American Eagle Flight 4148 crashed near Chicago O'Hare International Airport while circling for landing in an attitude almost identical to that of this accident.

The accident model happened to be the Italian-French joint venture ATR72. The cause of the accident given by the FAA was that the average diameter of supercooled water droplets in the area at that time exceeded 100 microns, and the largest was even 2 millimeters, which far exceeded the standards and requirements related to icing and anti-icing in existing standards.

Hence, the flight encountered sudden formation of supercooled clouds and water droplets during flight, resulting in a mixture of rough ice and clear ice on the fuselage.

The expansion de-icing device on the ATR72 aircraft was completely incapable of dealing with this level of ice accumulation, but the pilot did not know this. Instead, he opened the **** according to the normal procedure and prepared to lower the nose of the aircraft for landing.

The following plot is relatively close to those crashed Y8s in China.

The aircraft, which was already close to its limit, lost its balance due to the action of lowering the **** and fell to the ground.

Obviously, although there has not yet been a formal investigation report on the EMB120 air crash, considering that this aircraft, like the ATR42, uses expansion de-icing as the main de-icing method, I am afraid the results will be similar.

This is where the FAA gets into trouble.

Two air crashes caused by supercooled large water droplets (SLD) icing weather conditions occurred intensively within three years. Obviously, they can no longer be regarded as small-probability events.

Therefore, the FAA proposed to update the part of its airworthiness certification standards related to anti-icing, which is Appendix C of FAR-25, to include the mixed icing conditions of freezing fog/rain and ice crystals & supercooled water droplets, which is 100 microns. Level droplet diameter certification content.

At this time when public attention is extremely high, the reason for using aviation safety, a big stick full of accuracy, is naturally not just because the FAA has good intentions.

As far as the field of aircraft ice accretion is concerned, whether in theory or engineering, Americans have always been far ahead of the world (at least before), relying on the advantageous climatic conditions of the Great Lakes region.

As for the new conditions they proposed this time, European aviation companies would not have time to study them on their own.

Even JAA (the predecessor of EASA) has difficulty in conducting independent review.

Once the standard is adopted, the entire European aviation industry will be subject to the FAA in this regard for at least a few years.

The condition proposed by the United States is that if the EU can approve the merger of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, they will suspend the proposal of this amendment.

Faced with this kind of card-making game, the EU, which is still ambitious today, is naturally unwilling to give in.

But there seems to be no good way to deal with it.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Rosie Colombo, who had just been promoted to the parent company, told about his experience in participating in natural icing test flights, and said that China's Golden State University has conducted in-depth research in this area and has even been able to Stably track qualified meteorological conditions and conduct airworthiness certification.

That's why this negotiation took place.

The conditions proposed by the European representatives are that considering that both parties have the same interests in the Boeing-McDonnell Douglas merger, they hope that China's CAAC can work with the JAA to delay the amendments proposed by the FAA and establish a joint laboratory. The ice accumulation situation and anti-icing methods of supercooled droplets with a diameter of 100 microns under climate conditions were studied.

Chang Haonan laughed directly at Pu Chuxin's condition.

As for the conditions for joining forces to delay the FAA, they are fair, but also stupid.

At present, the world's attention on air crashes has not passed, and aviation safety is politically correct. Speaking the opposite at this time will undoubtedly have a negative impact on the public relations image.

Of course, this is a negotiation scene after all, and it cannot be unorganized or undisciplined, so Chang Haonan wrote a note with his thoughts and handed it to Huai Guomo, who was sitting in the middle of his negotiating table, and quickly got a hint that he could speak.

“We believe that instead of delaying the revised standards proposed by the FAA, it is better to focus on anti-customers. Since they want to conduct research on the 100 micron level, we will get there in one step and directly propose to conduct anti-icing research and airworthiness certification under SLD climate conditions!”

Colombo across the street was stunned for a moment when he saw Chang Haonan's face, and then his eyes widened suddenly as he apparently remembered his identity.

“SLD climate conditions?”

The representative sent by JAA is named Anne Valette. At this time, she is looking at Chang Haonan with a slight frown:

“The research object of SLD conditions is an order of magnitude higher, reaching the millimeter level. There is no technical reserve in this area. Have you ever considered how the FAA will respond if it is not scared back?”

Obviously, she thought Chang Haonan meant to bluff.

However, it is not.

“Ms. Valette, strictly speaking, you don't have SLD-related technical reserves, but we do.”

Chang Haonan sat up straight and said slowly.
