Chapter 2519 The Three Aviation Giants 3
The subsidy methods that Mr. Heinkel proposed to us are as follows. The first one is, naturally, to provide subsidies to airlines so that they can purchase our aircraft for operation. And all we have to do is get the order. The second way is to provide subsidies, and then when a certain aircraft wins the bid, we can get a certain degree of additional compensation for each aircraft sold. The third method is to separate the design and production of the aircraft. The government will directly issue order requirements, and then let each aircraft design institute be responsible for the design. The required materials and funds will be provided by the government. If they win the bid in the future, the design institute can Get a certain commission according to the agreement. That's basically it. " Junkers said.
"I don't like the first point. We don't need to let the airlines take another profit from the middle. The government is willing to subsidize the airlines, that's what it is, but we need separate financial subsidies. From my personal company perspective, I have What we produce is fighter jets. After the war, the demand for fighter jets dropped significantly, and my company was already at a sales trough. If I was asked to spend my own money to complete the entire process of aircraft R&D, experimentation, and production, the pressure would be a bit high. And once we fail, it will be catastrophic, and maybe one failure is enough to make my company doomed." Anthony Falk said.
Unlike Dornier and Junkers, Fokker is the worst offender because its business scope is really narrow, that is, single-engine fighters, and it highly overlaps with the J6 series fighters of the Bavarian Aircraft Factory. Previously, In order to ensure that Prussia has its own fighter company, it has orders from the Fokker Company. But now that the war is over and there is a large amount of inventory, the order quantity will definitely be small, so the capital flow of the Fokker Company is relatively difficult. Let him It's a bit difficult to directly enter a new field to compete and have to pay completely out of your own pocket.
"I think the second method is better. The risks in the research and development process are guaranteed by loans provided by the government. Once we win the bid, we can directly receive financial subsidies. Without a third party, our interests are also the greatest. The whole process is very Smooth, if it were me, I would choose the second one," Falk said.
"Well, if it's normal business, I think the second option would be better." Dornier nodded and said. After all, this method is the one with less risk and the greatest profit for oneself. If it is safe, the third method is actually the safest. After all, the design institute only needs the company to provide designers, and the entire cost is borne by the government. As long as it is not special If it is too much and cannot pass the government review, there is no risk at all, but for the big guys who now have factories in their hands, this will undoubtedly throw away the most profitable part-the production link. Therefore, whether it is Fokker Or Dornier, they are not willing to choose the third option. For them, I am afraid that only the newly emerging private design teams will value that bonus, right?
For any high-tech company, the most precious thing besides funds is their R&D team. If there are lucrative orders, then using these valuable R&D teams is naturally a must, but if it is just for some bonuses, then Using R&D personnel on projects with relatively low returns is undoubtedly a waste from an economic perspective.
Well then,
If this is the case, then why does Bavaria propose a third research and development method? This method is difficult for airlines to accept. As Dornier said, this so-called research and development method is probably only accepted by newcomers, right?
"You can choose the second method as the main cooperation method, but we cannot ignore the third method, because this method allows us to obtain very precious technical reserves. From the nature of businessmen, we should not do business with too low profit margins. Things, but from a designer's point of view, there are some things we have done that may yield great rewards in the future. For example, aviation racing aircraft!" Hugo Junkers said after thinking for a while.
Human beings crave speed. In fact, whether in history or in reality, aviation racing has existed for a long time. As an important performance of a fighter jet, it is possible for a racing aircraft to be modified into a fighter jet, and it is also possible for a fighter jet to be modified into a racing aircraft. For example, after the early BF109 aircraft won many awards at the World Military Aircraft Competition held in Zurich, Switzerland, it became the main fighter of the German Air Force. Many of the aircraft used in various propeller racing competitions in later generations were modified from World War II aircraft.
"Judging from the current situation, the German Air Force is not in a hurry to update their fighter fleet, but Crown Prince Ruprecht does not want the research and development of the German fighter fleet to fall behind because of this, so he will definitely issue an issue in the name of the government Some tenders for fighter jets or racing aircraft will not be put into service in large numbers, but they can be used to accumulate technology. The Bavarian Aviation Administration will do this, and we also need to do the same. After all, many technologies in aviation have been figured out. If there is If there is room for design, I think this is acceptable," said Hugo Junkers.
"To a certain extent, does it count as exchanging money for drawings? If my design team has spare capacity, I can try it." Fokker is not very enthusiastic about this.
"Well, if it's just technology accumulation, it's normal for you not to pay attention. But the third option is not only for technology accumulation, but may also be used in some areas that we can't touch simply, such as K8. Heavy bomber plan!" Hugo Junkers' words shocked everyone present! His words attracted the full attention of the other two!
Although these three aircraft manufacturers made considerable gains during the war, there is no doubt that the real leader in the German aviation industry is the Bavarian Aircraft Factory. This aircraft manufacturer produces a full range of aircraft from single-engine fighters to super-heavy bombers. and R&D capabilities! Its strong technical strength and huge production scale are beyond the reach of all German private enterprises, including the Junkers Aircraft Factory. Although the Prussian aircraft manufacturing factory is also large in scale, it lacks research and development capabilities. Many of their products are produced under license.
In fact, both Dornier and Junkers are very interested in large aircraft. After all, the power of engines is very low now, and the load of twin-engine aircraft is also very bad, so they want to carry out large-scale air transportation over long distances. If so, then a three- or four-engine aircraft is inevitable. However, the current problem is that neither Dornier nor Junkers have enough funds to support the development and production of large aircraft.
