Chapter 2520: Challenges From Abroad One
Dornier has calculated that if he plans to manufacture a large aircraft like the K8, the cost of building the aircraft alone will be more than 800,000 marks, which is about 40,000 before the war. GBP! If you want to take the whole process aside, . Counting the early research and development and the construction and test flight of several test aircraft, then if you want to build an aircraft similar to the K8 yourself, the cost will be at least 8 million marks or more! This research and development cost is difficult for private individuals to bear except for the state!
Moreover, the most important thing is that you may not be able to win the bid after you figure it out! If it fails, then the loss will be great. Even if you have gone through untold hardships and finally produced this aircraft and won the bid, so what? According to the current production capacity of the three factories, none of them are capable of mass production. If it is a war period, it is natural for the country to support a large amount of funds and resources, but in peacetime? Let's wash up and sleep. This is impossible!
So, now there is a problem. It is very difficult for all private companies to obtain the opportunity to develop large aircraft, and it is naturally impossible to accumulate experience from this. But the market for large aircraft is indeed very attractive, because only after you develop it yourself and gain experience can you make breakthroughs in large passenger aircraft, transport aircraft and bombers. However, the third method of cooperation gives all private aircraft manufacturers the opportunity to participate in the design and manufacture of large aircraft!
"This is an opportunity for us, an opportunity for us to develop and grow from peacetime. With this opportunity, maybe one day, we can stand side by side with the Bavarian aircraft factory or the Prussian aircraft factory." Hu Ge said Junkers.
"It looks like a good idea." Fogg thought for a while and said.
"I think so too. From a technical point of view, I don't think there is any domestic aircraft manufacturing company that can surpass me, and the same is true for the Bavarian Aircraft Manufacturing Plant." Dornier said.
"Okay, everyone, now the good news has been told to everyone. We know that we will have a relatively level playing field in the future, and we can get enough financial support. Mr. Henkel hinted to me that all three ways of cooperation can Our choice. But at the same time, for some of us, this kind of level playing field is also a problem, because it also lowers the barriers for others to want to enter. If other companies want to join the aviation industry, they The barriers to entry will be very low," Junkers said.
"It doesn't matter, our hard work in the past ten years is enough for us to build a high enough barrier. Our efficient technical team, rich experience and perfect facilities are enough to give us an advantage." Falk, at least on the surface, is very easy.
"However, all this applies equally to foreigners, not only to German companies, and companies that used to work for Germany, but also to French companies such as Breguet, Farmand, Loire-Neuport, Romano." Juncker S said.
"Oh, God,
What are you kidding? Now, I really believe that our Crown Prince is really pro-French. This is not just a political need. Dornier said with some surprise.
"It seems that there is no free lunch in this world, and fierce competition is about to begin now." Falk also said a little depressed.
If we talk about this plane, who has a higher aviation level between the French and the Germans? The answer is naturally the Germans, but the fundamental reason for this high level is that the engines in the hands of the Germans are relatively NB. It's not that the design has the advantage of being crushed. The French also have high-level bombers and fighter jets. If they were replaced with German engines, it would not be a problem for them to directly surpass some of the first-tier German aircraft in terms of performance! But now, everyone is mainly competing on design, and the engine must be the best. As a result, except for Dornier, who is really confident in seaplanes, who is relatively calm, both Fokker and Junkers actually feel a lot of pressure.
"Will the French government agree? Are those French aircraft manufacturers really ready to participate?" Fokker said with some concern. If you want to say which of the three has suffered the most, it is naturally Fokker. His main brand is single-engine fighter jets, but do you really think that the French single-engine fighter jets are not good? What are you thinking?
For example, the S.XIII fighter of the SPAD airline in history uses an engine with a maximum output power of only 220 horsepower, which can fly at a high speed of 218 kilometers per hour! Of course, this kind of aircraft is also problematic. The idea is basically the same as that of the Russian aircraft in World War II. The flight performance is improved by reducing weight and reducing range.
For example, this aircraft has an empty weight of only 566KG and a maximum take-off weight of only 856KG, which is incomparable with the J6 aircraft produced by the Bavarian Aircraft Factory. But this is not a reason for Fokker to ridicule, the X-type aircraft is also following a routine! And the performance is not as good as others! A 180 hp engine was used, yet the speed was only 189…. The speed difference is 30 kilometers! In this era, the speed difference of 30 kilometers is not a joke. To some extent, the French's aviation design level is actually top-notch.
"It seems that we are busy again when we go back this time. I thought that after the war, I would not have to face the French planes, but it doesn't seem to be the case now." Fokker said a little depressed.
"This time there will be a lot of aircraft research and development plans, and if we choose the third one, there will be no risk. Therefore, in addition to some areas where our company has advantages, I also want to try in other areas. Stand still The result is regression and destruction. Believe me, this bid is both an opportunity and a challenge for us,” Junkers said.
"Okay, I'm going to contact my technical team now, I need them to take out some things that were previously sealed up immediately." Falk said. When the war is about to end, the country will appropriately reduce its armaments for future economic development and recovery. In the same way, aircraft manufacturers will also seal up some designs when the future is not very good. Take Fork, for example.
What is the reason why Fokker can take a share of the huge performance advantages of the J4 and J6 aircraft produced by the Bavarian Aircraft Factory? It is not the so-called relationship, but because of the misalignment of the research and development directions between each other. For example, the J6 aircraft produced by the Bavarian Aircraft Factory is a multi-purpose aircraft that uses high-end engines. It is not only for air combat, but also a A ground attack aircraft with great firepower and versatility.
