Although Lao Mou was born in the Air Force, he also flew a Qiang-5 fighter plane in his early years, but later with the promotion of his position, Lao Mou changed from a strong fighter aviation unit to a helicopter aviation unit.

In the eighties, the Army Aviation Corps was formed, and in order to train specialized army aviation personnel, the Helicopter Flight Academy, which was subordinate to the Air Force at that time, was renamed the Army Aviation Academy.

Lao Mou, who was the director of the teaching and research department at that time, was transferred from the Air Force to the Army in this way, and because of this, Lao Mou was so concerned about the "sniper" pilot helmet before.

Because it is a modern helmet specially built for helicopter troops, especially armed helicopter units, coupled with the advanced cockpit layout inside the Z-12, Lao Mu can't wait to get into it immediately and fly into the sky to see if it is cool.

As a result, Lao Wei was so disturbed, and everyone was attracted by the NB-2500V automatic wire laying machine. There's no way to make this thing called aerospace supremacy, and it is a legend in itself to make it efficient and easy to process carbon fiber composites.

Because of this, including the head of the headquarters, they all feel that the automatic fiber placement machine is a good thing that represents the future and even subverts the future.

In contrast, the "sniper" helmet, which has already been displayed, is naturally not new, even if Lao Mou is extremely reluctant, but his arms can't twist his thighs, after all, the army aviation has only been formed for more than ten years, and it is regarded as the little brother among the little brothers in all branches of the army, and the right to speak is naturally not as big as the leaders of those old units.

So watching everyone else follow to see the NB-2500V automatic wire laying machine, he didn't want to come, just hid in the back as usual, looking forward to the early end of the visit here, and see if there is a chance to apply for a driving straight-12 experience in the sky.

As a result, when Lao Mou was standing behind the crowd, thinking alone about how to mention this matter to the head of the headquarters and how to fully implement this matter, Zhuang Jianye's sentence: "bearingless helicopter propeller hub" was like a heavy hammer, which directly smashed Lao Mou's face red.

There is no way, it is really the phrase "bearingless helicopter propeller hub" that shocked Lao Mou.

As the so-called layman looks at the lively, the insider looks at the doorway, although the same belongs to the professionals in the direction of aviation, Lao Mou, who tends to apply, sees the NB-2500V automatic wire laying machine and does not have the excitement of Lao Wei, who is engaged in basic production.

On the contrary, on the "bearingless helicopter propeller hub", Lao Wei also did not have Lao Moulai's excitement.

Especially Lao Mou, a compound talent who has been focusing on helicopters for more than ten years in practice and theory, is even more difficult to hold himself when he hears this word like a wonderful fairy music.

The reason is simple, simply because the "bearingless helicopter hub" is the most disruptive new technology in the field of rotorcraft today.

How subversive?

Just look at the "Comanche" helicopter gunship that the United States is testing to fly.

If it is said that the B-2 bomber beats other types of bombers, and the F-22 crushes many fighters around the world, then the "Comanche" has the same position in the helicopter field as the B-2 and F-22 in their respective categories.

In addition to the stealth capability of the "Comanche" helicopter, the most important thing is its subversive breakthrough in structural weight reduction and flight quality.

So much so that the American test pilot told the media without exaggeration: "The piloting experience of the 'Comanche' is similar to that of a real fighter plane, very agile and smooth, and can almost completely transform the movements you think of in your head into a flight attitude, so that you can do whatever you want at low altitude, and this alone may not be achieved by similar helicopters in the world in another 20 years." ”

As soon as the remarks of the American pilots came out, Europe and Russia, two regions and countries that are also thriving helicopter production, jumped on the lemon essence.

Regardless of whether the flight quality is good or bad, they dare to say that they will not be able to achieve the flight performance of the "Comanche" in another 20 years, this is not an ordinary slap in the face, but a wild draw with a bow left and right by the neck.

Europe and Russia may not be able to do stealth, but when it comes to fighting experience and accumulated flight performance, Europe and Russia are really not afraid of anyone.

Because the flight performance of a helicopter is the same as the driving experience of a car, it does not mean that installing an engine and a gearbox can make the car as smooth as silk.

Is the chassis hard or not? What is the gearbox gear rate? How can the engine output be linear, and how should it explode?

Such a kind of explosion performance can not be casually installed, but requires the accumulation of automobile manufacturers over time, in order to slowly find a just right balance through massive data comparison.

Helicopters are the same, turboshaft engines, equipped with final reducers, want to have excellent flight quality, in addition to the excellent quality of the two key components, but also look at matching and tuning, in this regard, Europe and Russia are not much worse than the United States, the experience bar is also full, why can you Americans upgrade, we can't?

As a result, the Europeans and Russians who did not believe in evil plunged into the deep pit of improving the flight quality of helicopters, and only tossed for several years to find that it was not that their experience was not full enough, but that the Americans did not emphasize martial arts, and directly removed all the bearings on the paddle hub, so that the weight of the original complex structure of the paddle hub was directly reduced by nearly 50%.

Such a lightweight propeller hub is free from the shackles of bearings, which is equivalent to a horse that is free from the shackles, and can naturally change its flight attitude according to the pilot's various ideas.

In this way, the Europeans and Russians will not have a curse.

Because the propeller hub of their helicopter configuration cannot be cut off from the bearings and the complex hydraulic tie rod matrix, there is no way, the helicopter direction adjustment is achieved by the deflection of the propellers, the front, the back, the back, the left and the right.

In order to control the deflection of the propeller, it is necessary to use complex bearings and hydraulic connecting rods to connect the propeller hub to the control system to form a complex mechanical control structure.

This can be seen from the general helicopter, a row of hydraulic connecting rods are densely erected under the hub, and at the same time, the connection between the propeller blade and the hub is equipped with bearings, and the propeller hub and connecting rod are also related to each other.

The Europeans and Russians studied this complex mechanical structure very thoroughly, and as a result, the Americans simply kicked it out of the way, which is like a bad old man, who looks at beautiful women every day just to be pleasing to the eye, and suddenly one day the old brother reacted hugely and began to drag crazy with the beauties.

So the Russian Balabala's empty wallet, sighed helplessly, completely confessed, and continued to slowly gnaw on the old book along the path of the traditional complex mechanical paddle hub.

The Europeans are a little unwilling, and the economic dividends brought by European integration have greatly improved Europe's confidence.

So he began to increase investment, wanting to break his wrist with the United States on the helicopter, but before the wrist was exposed, he was slapped to the ground by the Americans.

As a result, there is such a new technology that even Europe and Russia can't come up with, and the Tengfei Group actually has it, how can you let Lao Mou, a high-ranking officer engaged in the academic and teaching work of the army aviation, not be excited, how can you not be excited.

So he swallowed his saliva and asked Zhuang Jianye: "Can I fly?"

Zhuang Jianye was not ambiguous, and pointed outside: "Of course you can!"
