印巴空战与吉利整合
汽车商业评论· 2025-05-17 05:49
撰 文 / 刘 宝华 设 计 / 张 萌 5月最吸引全世界目光的是印巴冲突。 7日凌晨进行的空战,巴基斯坦以战斗机0:5的战损比碾压印度,在随后的导弹、无人机对攻中,巴 基斯坦也获得压倒性优势。 此前"军事实力占优"的印度被全程吊打,毫无还手之力,全球军事观察家公认的核心原因是印度的 武器库豪华但杂乱,法国阵风、俄罗斯苏30、美国阿帕奇、以色列预警机、美国导航系统,数据链 互不兼容,武器之间相互割裂,连战斗机油料标准都不一样。 反观巴基斯坦,全套中国装备,从歼-10CE战斗机、霹雳-15中距导弹到ZDK-03预警机、北斗卫星 定位系统、红旗-9防空系统,整套数字化空战体系通过数据链实时共享战场信息,无缝衔接、快速 反应、各司其职、精准打击,与印度作战方式形成代差优势。 经此一战,中国先进武器第一次在实战中证明实力。这一战也让全世界看清了,现代战争早已不是 单一武器的比拼,而且体系间的竞争。 商场如战场。 2024年9月,吉利控股集团董事长李书福在台州发布《台州宣言》,核心内容是"战略聚焦、战略整 合、战略协同、战略稳健、战略人才"五大举措,其方向就是聚焦体系化。 之后落地动作不断,几何品牌并入吉利,极氪与领克 ...

撰 文 / 玖 零 设 计 / 张 萌 4月15日的香港维多利亚港畔,小鹏汽车名为"全球热爱之夜"的科技秀上,除了主角2025款 X9,从实验室走向公众视野核心的飞行汽车,正悄然引发出行变革。 当前主流锂离子电池能量密度仅300Wh/kg,垂直起降阶段瞬时功率需求可达500kW,相当于同时 驱动50台家用空调。小鹏"陆地航母"采用分体式设计,将飞行模块续航压缩至30公里,正是对当前 技术现实的妥协:本质上是将能量分配难题转化为空间解耦策略——地面模块承担80%的续航需 求,而飞行模块专注解决"最后一公里"的垂直起降问题。 这种妥协催生出两条技术路径的分野:纯电派押注于凝聚态电池,如宁德时代2026年量产的 500Wh/kg产品;混合动力派则借鉴航空工业经验,Horizon飞机公司开发的涡轮-电动混合系统已实 现百公里油耗4.7升。值得关注的是,特斯拉在2024投资者日展示的无线充电矩阵,通过动态耦合 技术实现85%的传输效率,或将重塑整个能源补给体系。 ↓小鹏陆地航母 当分体式飞行汽车"陆地航母"的全息影像在激光矩阵中完成空中悬停时,现场观众或许尚未意识 到,这场视觉盛宴正悄然改写人类出行史——何小鹏宣布的4 ...
