Due to the advanced technology of the AWS20 engine, its cost was very high. Therefore, the Air Force did not purchase a lot of them this time. They were mainly equipped with the Black Ribbon16 and the other two fighter aircraft.
For example, the castrated version of the AWS11 was very good in terms of cost-performance ratio. It was also a directional engine, and its power was also very good. The thrust of about 15 tons was enough for most fighters.
The engine of the Raptor fighter jet was only 15.9 tons.
As the Air Force's acquisition operation had received strong support from the Privy Council, they were still very generous this time.
They had ordered about 200 sets of the AW20 engine alone, which was enough for the Air Force to complete the replacement of these two fighters.
One had to know that these three fighter planes were all twin-engine heavy fighter planes. One plane required two, but it was worth the money. There was a huge surplus of power, and the maximum take-off weight increased by more than 40%.
The maximum take-off weight determined the upper limit of a fighter's fuel and ammunition. If it was greater than the maximum take-off weight, there was no way to take off.
Take the Black Ribbon1 for example. It was originally equipped with a 31F engine and had a maximum take-off weight of 37 tons. Now, after testing, the maximum take-off weight had soared to 52 tons. The empty weight of the Black Ribbon1 was only 25 tons, and the remaining weight was 27 tons.
From this, it could be seen how great the potential of the Black Ribbon-like material was.
Unfortunately, because the Black Ribbon-like aircraft was a stealth fighter, its internal ammunition storage capacity was limited. Carrying eight tons was already the limit, unless the ammunition storage was expanded.
Therefore, the Air Force was not worried about heart disease, but that they had too much power. This was also a happy worry.
As a reduced version of the AWS11 engine, it was mainly equipped on the Firebird fighter jet and the 11 fighter jet. The number of these two fighters was still relatively large.
Among them, the Firebird fighter needed more than 300 Turbofan-11 engines, and the number of 11 heavy fighters was about 300. A total of more than 600 engines were needed.
This time, it wasn't just the air force that came to purchase. The navy also placed an order this time, mainly to change the flying sharks on the aircraft carrier.
What they needed was also the AWS11 engine, and the number was only about 50.
In this contract, the pre-order number of the AWS20 Tianshan engine was 200 units, and the price of each unit was about 30 million yuan. The cost was 24 million yuan, and the profit per unit was about 5 million yuan.
The order amount for this engine alone was as high as 6 billion, and Qi Yin could earn about 1 billion in profit.
Compared to e-commerce or finance, the profit was actually not high, and this was under the situation where Qi Yin used advanced technology to reduce costs.
This price seemed very high, but it was actually very kind.
The price of the AL-31F engine purchased by the military from the Northland had reached more than 30 million, about 35 million.
The AW20 and the AL-31 were not on the same level at all. The difference in thrust alone was about 5 tons, which was a very big difference.
Among them, the pre-order quantity of the AW11 was about 1000 units. The price of this engine was 20 million yuan per unit, the cost was about 15 million yuan, and the profit per unit was 5 million yuan.
The demand for this engine was very high. The order amount was as high as 20 billion, and the total profit was about 5 billion.
Of course, these two engines could not be delivered in a short period of time. They could be delivered to the Air Force within three years, so it seemed that the order amount was very large, but in fact, it was not the case.
This 26 billion purchase amount was not a big deal if it was spread over three years. Moreover, with the current production capacity of Sky High Aerospace, it was already considered a lot if they could provide 100 units per year.
Therefore, Qi Yin had to expand the production line of the Turbofan-11 and increase its production capacity, as long as the annual production reached 300 units.
The Air Force directly sent in an advance payment of about 1 billion yuan. After Qi Yin received the money, he immediately expanded the production line of the AW11 engine.
The production line of the AWS20 was sufficient for the time being, and its annual output could reach about 150 units.
Qingtian Industries had become a hit at the air show. From a quiet and nameless company, it had become a hot company in the entire ancient country. It had received countless praises. This was a treatment that only successful people could enjoy.
Those people in Bei Du who had once mocked Qi Yin for overestimating his own abilities felt their faces burning with anger. It was spicy. Their feelings were very complicated.
Countless reporters approached Qi Yin, wanting to interview the son of the richest man in the world.
However, Qi Yin did not like being exposed to the camera, so he directly declined these interviews. He had his own way of life and did not like to be disturbed by outsiders.
This time, the AWS20 and AWS11 engines had achieved great success. Qi Yin had already begun to consider the next project.
His first goal was to enter the field of aerospace manufacturing, but with his current financial resources, it was simply not enough, so he still needed a popular engine. The market for civilian passenger aircraft was very large, and perhaps this could provide him with a large enough capital flow.
