Chapter 212 Ultra-small Aerospace Vehicle
"Old man, you said that the design of the ultra-small aerospace vehicle has been completed, and the manufacture has already started?" Zhu Lei asked hurriedly after hearing what the old man said.

"Yes, young master! The ultra-small empty talk aircraft has been designed, and even the samples have been manufactured and have completed test flights. The results are very perfect. It is even better than the original Suzaku I and Erxing. Although this Due to its size, the aircraft cannot carry a lot of things, but the speed, maneuverability and flexibility of this aircraft have exceeded the expectations when it was originally designed." Lao Wang replied.

"The samples have already been tested and flown. So fast, I thought it would be fast enough if the samples could be produced by the end of this year. After all, the aerospace industry is no different than others. It needs to go through many calculations and experiments. I didn't expect you to complete it so soon. The design and manufacture of the ultra-small manned aerospace vehicle, yes, is there any difference in the size and appearance of this aircraft from the sketch when I left?" Zhu Lei asked again.

"Master! The prototype of this ultra-small aerospace vehicle that has been produced is much smaller than the original sketch. Nothing else has changed. The aircraft is now about six meters long and two meters wide, which is smaller than the original sketch. It's not much bigger than a car, but although this aircraft is smaller than that, it can carry two people and up to about five tons of cargo, and the flying speed is also very fast. However, due to the design of this aircraft in the atmosphere, The problem is that the speed is not as fast as the two Suzaku aerospace planes, but the speed in the universe is not much slower than the speed of Suzaku.

And flexibility Because of the small size of this aircraft, its flexibility in the universe is much better, but although this is an ultra-small aerospace vehicle, its production cost is not low. Ultra-small manned aircraft, so there are many parts inside. If it is a large aircraft, these parts can be processed by ordinary precision machine tools.

However, when switching to this small aircraft, it must be processed with mother aircraft-level machine tools. Otherwise, the risk of the aircraft will be increased dozens of times. Therefore, the cost of this aircraft will be increased several times, making the current production of this aircraft The cost of each ultra-small aerospace vehicle is half of that of the Suzaku-[-].

So now the guys at the Aerospace Design and Manufacturing Center are starting to redesign the small aerospace vehicle again, and the design drawings are about to come out now, but this time the design is not an ultra-small aerospace vehicle, but a long-term space vehicle. The small aircraft of about ten meters is a little bit bigger than the aircraft you saw when you left, but because many parts of this aircraft can already be processed by ordinary precision machine tools, Therefore, the cost of this aircraft is much lower than that of this ultra-small aerospace vehicle. We still can't say how much it can be reduced.

After all, this aircraft is still under design.Even the samples haven’t been manufactured yet, so I don’t know yet, but the people in the Aerospace Design Center estimate that the cost of this aircraft can be reduced by at least [-]% compared with ultra-small aircraft. One ultra-small aerospace vehicle can manufacture ten of the aircraft under design, so that aircraft is very suitable for large-scale production. " said the old man.

"Grandpa, are you making a mistake! You said that the aircraft under design is four meters larger than the one currently being manufactured, but the cost has been reduced by [-]%?" Zhu Lei asked in amazement.

After all, it was really unbelievable for Zhu Lei to open it. You must know that the aircraft under design is four meters larger than this one under manufacture!Even if the aircraft can use ordinary precision machine tools to process parts, the cost will not drop so much. You must know that the price of the materials inside is almost the same.

"Yes! Master, I'm not wrong. The cost can really be reduced by [-]%. This is due to the expansion of the aircraft in terms of materials, so the materials used for many parts do not have to use the latest models that have just been developed in the factory. Alloy material, just use the same material as Suzaku Type I.

As for the materials used in Suzaku-[-] now, due to the improvement of the smelting process, the cost of those materials has been greatly reduced. Now, most of the cost of smelting the materials on Suzaku-[-] aircraft can be controlled within [-]% of the original smelting process. One-third of the level, some even lower, but the cost of some materials can only be reduced to five-sixth of the original level.

However, the overall cost of the Suzaku-[-] can now be controlled at one-ninth of the original level. That is to say, if one Suzaku-[-] was originally manufactured, nine Suzaku-[-]s can be manufactured now, and the cost of the Suzaku-[-] is also the same. It has dropped by about [-]% to [-]%.

The cost of all the aircraft under design can be reduced so much, and the materials of many parts of the aircraft we are manufacturing are alloys produced by newly developed formulas in our factory, and the cost of smelting these alloys is very high. High, and because the processing difficulty of these materials is very high, so in the factory except for these newly produced industrial master machines in a workshop, other machine tools cannot be processed at all, even the few at the door now The current generation of industrial machines cannot process these alloys, so the price of this aircraft has increased a lot.

And because the aircraft is very small, it is only about six meters long.About two meters wide, all these parts inside are very small, and processing is very difficult. If you want to process manually, there is nowhere to start, so manual processing is simply impossible, even if you use these new industries in front of you. The scrap rate has also reached [-]% for parent machine processing, which is unacceptable for a product that wants to be mass-produced. It must be known that this is still a product processed by an industrial master machine.

Moreover, it is impossible for these mother machines to process these parts all the time, and there are still many things that need to be processed by the mother machine. Even if a machine tool is designed and manufactured to manufacture these parts, the scrap rate is unacceptable. It has reached [-]%. If it is replaced with other machine tools, the scrap rate will be even higher. After all, the precision of professional machine tools cannot be compared with that of the parent machine, so although this aircraft is good, it is not suitable for large-scale operations at all. Production. "After finishing speaking, the old man looked at Zhu Lei, waiting for his statement. After all, he is the owner of this factory. If Zhu Lei doesn't care about the cost and wants to mass-produce, then he has nothing to say.
