Super Weapon Exchange System

McDonnell Douglas was acquired by McDonald and Douglas. This merger gave many airlines a sigh of relief, but it brought a greater crisis.

"You know, before being merged, Douglas has always been the leader in the Eagle Country and the global civil aircraft market, so it has been very dissatisfied with McDonald's. After the establishment of McDonnell Douglas, the two companies have not really integrated. At the same time, the company is still divided into two locations. McDonnell Douglas is headquartered in St. Louis, and Douglas is in Long Beach, California. Moreover, the company has always been two sets of leadership teams with two legs. Therefore, this led to the merger of McDonnell Douglas, which soon There have been various crises. I believe you all know this well."

Everyone present may not be able to do other things, but when it comes to such political and administrative methods, everyone is a veteran.

It is difficult that the two cannot truly merge together.

"At the same time, the company's senior management also lacks the understanding of the market. Under the market economy, if they don't know the market, the outcome is terrible." Qin Guan continued his analysis.

"The marketing of commercial aircraft is completely different from military aircraft. Military aircraft mainly face military contracts. As long as they get the contract, the funds will be guaranteed and there will be sufficient cash flow. It is difficult for other competitors to intervene. The sales of civil aircraft are facing a constantly changing market. At any time, several manufacturers will compete fiercely around a transaction at the same time. These two different concepts have led to conflicts between McDonnell Douglas’ senior leaders. Big."

If everyone cannot agree on management, then of course it will lead to conflicts, and this kind of conflicts between the upper-level leaders of the company will sooner or later drag the company down.

"Especially recently, I don’t know if everyone is aware that Eagle Country’s industry has launched a total quality management movement, especially in Eagle Country’s aviation industry. It is simply a revolution. One of the core ideas in this reform is Emphasize collaborative work."

How did those present know about so many foreigners, and at the same time, they all admire Qin Guan. Qin Guan has gone abroad all the year round, and he knows so many major events abroad.

"Now, Dow’s President MacDonald Jr. requires all leaders working at Douglas, including the vice president, to reapply for positions and to conduct a comprehensive review within the scope of leaders at all levels."

When it came to this, Qin Guan paused for a while, so that everyone would understand that as a veteran in the workplace, of course he knew what he was going to do.

If you don’t replace the company’s top executives with your own people, this will inevitably aggravate the chaos. However, military aircraft and commercial aircraft are different. If military aircraft are transferred to commercial aircraft, the company’s management will be even more chaotic.

In other words, the current McDonnell Douglas company looks strong, but in fact, the internal chaos has turned into a pot of porridge. Is cooperation with such a company guaranteed?

"I don't know if the people who are lobbying us for the McDonnell Douglas 82 project are the people from McDonald's or the original Douglas company. If new people are replaced in this campaign, the project may have to be renewed. Let's go?"

Qin Guan will not give them any advice, but I hope they can think clearly, is it reliable or unreliable to find a company like this?

"This is in terms of management. In addition to this aspect, there is another important issue, which is the design of the passenger plane." Qin Guan said: "This is the dispute between two engines and three engines."

You are all the brains in the civil aviation system, but what is the future development direction? Qin watched the leaders present: "Everyone, let me ask a question. In the future, in regional airliners, dual-engine or triple-engine will become the mainstream?"

"Of course it is a three-engine." A leader said: "Douglas' airliner, we are also using it, it must be the mainstream."

"The current mainstream does not mean the mainstream in the future, let me introduce it to everyone," Qin Guan said.

"This has to be said ten years ago. At that time, the Boeing 747 was put into service not long, and its huge passenger capacity became a major selling point for entering the civil aviation market. However, there are also some short- and medium-distance routes with large passenger demand. The use of a 747 capable of long-range flight is too wasteful, so other aircraft companies intend to develop smaller wide-body airliners to compete."

The wide body is characterized by its wideness. After being wide, the passenger plane will have a larger cross section and good comfort. The passenger plane that Hans State is preparing to develop with Hans State is also wide-body.

"Because at that time, the reliability of jet engines still did not reach an extremely high level, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the Eagle Country also issued an instruction "two-engine aircraft should not be transferred for more than 60 minutes." To enter the Western market, you have to obtain FAA approval. This is quite difficult. We will have this aspect in the future.) Therefore, even at that time, 40,000-pound engines have been put into use. If you want to reduce the number of engines, you can only reduce At Santai, McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and Lockheed L-1011 are products of this environment."

People feel that the reliability of dual-engines is not high. If you want to have a long voyage, you have to three-shots.

The three engines are also Douglas' classic layout. In many cases, they are T-shaped vertical tails. Three engines are directly attached to the tail. Because the engines are behind, the noise in the cabin is low, which has become their classic layout.

Other companies like to hang under the wings. Although this will cause loud noise in the cabin, there is no doubt that this kind of airworthiness can bring better airworthiness. Look at later generations to know, almost All passenger planes are suspended below the cabin.

"We also know that in the 1970s, Airbus in Europa was established. Their first product, the A300, is the world's first wide-body twin-engine aircraft. Their economy is superior to other aircraft. It is more suitable for the needs of a large number of passengers on short distances. Although the early sales were not good, the competition in the aviation industry has become fierce in recent years." Qin Guan continued.

"In 1978, Eagle Country officially lifted its aviation industry control. This allowed Eagle Country's domestic airlines to operate domestic and international routes at the same time. It also lowered the threshold for foreign airlines to serve in the United States. As a result, Eagle's civil aviation industry began to experience fierceness. Airlines began to seek more economical aircraft in order to reduce operating costs. Double-engine wide-body passenger aircraft became the darling of the market. If you don’t believe it, you can investigate the civil aviation at the air show in recent years. Airliner sales data, see if McDonnell Douglas can compete with Airbus A300."

In recent years, McDonnell Douglas has gone downhill, and anyone can see it.
