A few days ago, a private enterprise in Zhenjiang did something "surprising" to the domestic aviation industry: it spent a lot of money to buy an American original McDonnell douglas-82 aircraft, which was used for technology research and development after "dissection". Industry insiders said that there is no precedent for large-scale purchase of R & D prototype. This is not only conducive to the transformation and upgrading of enterprises, but also greatly enhance the spirit of the city's aviation industry. Yesterday, the reporter rushed to the aviation industrial park in the new area and saw the two wings and one tail of the plane that just arrived in the town.
The factory is still being renovated, and the factory has just paved a cement road, which is the R & D and production base of "Meilong group" in the aviation industrial park of the new area. The wing of the huge McDonnell Douglas plane is set up by a bracket, and not far away is a tail“ It is expected that the fuselage will be delivered before the Spring Festival. " When it comes to this purchase, Liu Shunlong, chairman of Meilong group, is still excited.
Last year, Meilong group, which makes aircraft interior and structural components, successfully signed a strategic cooperation agreement with COMAC to make parts for China's first independently developed commercial aircraft C919. At this time, both COMAC itself and Meilong group are eager to strengthen the research on foreign large aircraft, especially in the aspects of aircraft overall system control and internal drainage, which need certain technical breakthrough. In June, a McDonnell Douglas Aircraft of China Southern Airlines was about to retire, and Meilong group immediately put forward a purchase plan.
The purchase plan of Meilong group is strongly supported by COMAC, the municipal Party committee and the municipal government. In July, two McDonnell 82S arrived at Changzhou Benniu airport and announced their retirement immediately after landing. COMAC bought one from itself and sent a team of experts with more than 40 people to dissect the plane for Meilong group free of charge. After many efforts, the wings and tail wings arrived in Zhenjiang one after another, and the fuselage was transported to Zhenjiang before the Spring Festival.
The big plane hasn't arrived yet, and the good luck of Meilong group has arrived. COMAC has decided to set up a joint R & D team with Meilong group to dissect the interior of the aircraft in detail and share R & D achievements without damaging the integrity of the aircraft.
It is reported that our city plans to use this aircraft as a landmark of the aviation industrial park. The person in charge of the Municipal Commission of economy and information technology said that with such a large aircraft of typical significance, it can not only attract aviation experts to the town for technical exchanges, but also attract aviation giants such as COMAC and XAC to invest in the town, greatly enhancing Zhenjiang's position in the domestic aviation industry.
