It was only at this moment that people noticed the medium-sized helicopter that was covered by the powerful aura of the Y-17.

Wait a minute...... How is it a halo again, it seems that the aura of the Z-12 before also conceals the fact that the Y-15PLUS can carry a helicopter for long-range maneuvering.

Why are there one auras after another in an earthquake rescue operation?

However, it didn't matter anymore, anyway, the military observers of the various countries present were already numb, and they were more interested in the Z-15 helicopter that hoisted supplies and rushed to the Sanctuary Bay outpost.

Although the general shape is somewhat similar to the smaller Z-12, such as the rounded radome in the nose, the small vertical tail on either side under the tail rotor, and the four hinged propeller blades.

But if you look closely, you will find that there is still a big difference between the two in the fuselage, the straight-12 fuselage is full of angular muscle power, but it has somewhat lost the smart beauty of an aircraft, the product of proper violent aesthetics.

The Zhi-15 is different, due to its unique diamond open-line fuselage cross-sectional design, so that the entire Zhi-15 maintains a sense of muscle strength while losing a sense of vitality.

To use an inappropriate analogy, if Zhi-12 is a strong man like Dwayne Johnson, then Zhi-15 is Bruce Lee in a practice uniform.

Not only is the muscles bursting, but also extremely flexible.

In fact, it is true that the military observers did not pay much attention to the Z-15 when they were changing the guard of the outpost troops, thinking that it was a little bigger than the Z-12, but it was just a few more people, and it was precisely because of this that they paid all their attention to the Y-17.

However, when the Z-15 hoisted the parts of the board house and flew to the Sanctuary Bay outpost, these foreign military observers found that in addition to the good carrying capacity of this helicopter, the external hoisting capacity is also excellent.

Not to mention anything else, the parts of the integrated board house that were hoisted up are not light.

So someone asked, "Captain Zheng, how much do you weigh in this set of prefabricated house parts?"

"3 tons!"

The inquirer was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked: "What is the maximum lifting weight of this Z-15, and what is the maximum carrying capacity?"

"The maximum lifting load is 3.2 tons, the maximum comprehensive load capacity is 4 tons, no way, the maximum take-off weight of the whole helicopter is only 8.5 tons, remove the weight of 400 gallons of aviation fuel, oh~~ is calculated according to the American standard gallons, the weight is about 1.2 tons, and the empty weight of the whole aircraft is 3.3 tons of net weight......"

Zheng Quanli paused as he spoke, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and lit it for himself, took a deep breath, and looked quite melancholy: "Alas...... Earlier, the R&D unit came to me to ask me my opinion on this 6 to 8-ton medium-sized helicopter, and I said at the time that the 1800 kilowatt engine was the start, and 2200 kilowatts was barely enough, after all, the plateau, the greater the power, the better, and the result was ......."

Before the words fell, Zheng Quanli shook his head and smiled bitterly, the black thin face that was dissatisfied with the plateau red was how helpless and helpless, he took two puffs of cigarette, and seemed to vent all the depression in his heart on the cigarette butt, and then continued lonely: "As a result, the research and development unit said that the WD-47Z at the level of 1800 kilowatts to 2200 kilowatts should be used on large helicopters with a maximum take-off weight of 13 to 15 tons, and in their words, the three release bureaus are enough to support helicopters of this level to perform various tasks on the plateau.

Therefore, the Z-15 is equipped with only two 1456 kW WD-45Z, although the shaft horsepower is 1979 horsepower, but I think it is not as good as the WD-43Z on the Z-12 in terms of handling, although it is only 1048 kW, 1424 shaft horsepower, but I feel that the Z-12 power is more sufficient, and the power is more surging, which may be a personal subjective reason, I just think the Z-12 is more appetizing......"

Zheng Quanli smoked a cigarette and began to talk eloquently about Zhi-15 and Zhi-12, there was no pride and pride in his words, but it was like commenting on his two stinky boys, not only laughing and scolding self-deprecation, but also hating the helplessness of iron and steel.

But when I heard these words, there was a sense of déjà vu in the ears of military observers from various countries that other people's children were so good, and even many people looked at Zheng Quanli's eyes and became very weird, as if to say, if you don't want straight-15 and straight-12, give it to me, I want it, you can do anything.

And among them, all kinds of emotions surged in turn, which made it very unpleasant for Norokov at that time.

So much so that this rough old man of the fighting nation looked at Zheng Quanli's various gods, and he couldn't wait to directly rush over and strangle the Davari clan who used to sleep in the lower bunk.

Can NM be less Hara?

Straight-15 with a maximum take-off weight of 8.5 tons can achieve a comprehensive load level of 4 tons, which still feels general, you Zheng Quanli is not floating, want to go to the sky!

In the past two years, the comprehensive carrying capacity of the Mi-171 helicopter improved by Russia on the basis of the Mi-17 of the former Soviet Union is also at this level.

The maximum take-off weight of the Mi-171 helicopter to this extent has reached 13 tons, which is now classified as a large helicopter, but its comprehensive capacity can only be compared to the level of medium-sized utility helicopters below 10 tons.

What does this mean?

Mi-171 is greatly backward in the manufacturing process and straight-15.

Perhaps the Mi-171 helicopter can be stronger than the Z-15 in space, but the price paid is also extremely obvious, that is, the Mi-171 helicopter sacrifices long-range air transport capabilities.

That is to say, ordinary transport aircraft simply cannot carry such a large size as the Mi-171 helicopter for long-distance rapid maneuvering.

However, the Z-15 can take the Y-17 and make long-distance rapid deployment at any time and any place, and from this point of view, the Z-15 is more flexible and more flexible than the Mi-171 helicopter.

Not to mention anything else, the Mi-171 helicopter had no choice but to use itself to make long-distance maneuvers in the critical task of the Karakoram Pass earthquake.

However, the Z-15 was able to reach the front line with the cooperation of transport aircraft.

This is disaster relief, if it is a real battle, the rapid arrival of the Z-15 under the hoisting is estimated not to be 3 tons of board room parts, but the same weight of the D-30 122mm howitzer, and then in the cabin with 5 soldiers composed of artillery squad and nearly half a ton of ammunition, soaring into the sky, arriving at a fixed point, and quickly deploying......

Thinking about that picture, Norokov felt sad for the officers and soldiers of New Delhi on the other side of the mountain.

This is still a straight-15, listening to Zheng Quanli's words, there is also a 15-ton three-engine large helicopter in the process of development, the engine power has reached 2,200 kilowatts, according to this degree of development, Russia's rotorcraft is estimated to completely lose the market of a large country in the East.

So Norokov glanced in the direction of New Delhi on the other side of the Karakoram Mountains, and said silently in his heart: Motorsky has seen you this time.

Without hesitation, he turned his head and muttered to Zheng Quanli in a low voice: "My dear Davaris, I misremembered the price just now, the Mi-171 is 6.5 million US dollars per aircraft, and the Mi-26 is 15 million US dollars per aircraft. ”

Zheng Quanli, who was holding a cigarette, didn't speak when he heard this, but there was a sincere smile on his face......
