After listening to Wu Ping's words, Joddle and Hans first glanced at each other, and then looked up again at the helicopter in the sky that was painted army green.

The fixed front three-point landing gear, like S-64, the aerial crane is generally not equipped with passenger \ cargo compartment, the cockpit is round like a fat-headed fish, and the whole body looks like a big insect that has changed ~~~ state, buzzing around in the sky.

This cargo is called an "air pickup"?

Obviously, the "small forklift" helicopter that was transferred to their Leipzig company is good?

It's just that the previous blue and red paint has changed to army green, and the rest is counted as one, all of which are exactly the same as the "small forklift" helicopter, and even the position of the wipers outside the cockpit is not different.

"This ...... Is it an 'air pickup' helicopter?"

Hans is not qualified to speak on such an occasion, but Yodel is not afraid, after all, he is now the president of Leipzig Greater China, and according to the operating mechanism of Western companies, Yodel is at the same level as Zhuang Jianye.

Therefore, there are still some identity advantages for Wu Ping, the director of the branch, so he asked.

Wu Ping nodded without hesitation: "Yes." ”

Yodel's brows furrowed unconsciously: "But why do I look so much like a 'little forklift' helicopter?"

"Is it like?" Wu Ping also asked rhetorically with great interest, and immediately laughed: "Mr. Yodel, you are also a veteran in the aviation field, you will never limit your eyes to appearance, Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 are still like brothers, can you say that they are an airplane?"

Hearing this, Yodel's brows furrowed even deeper, if he is a layman in the aviation field, seeing that the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 have similar captains and wingspans, as well as the same aerodynamic layout, he really feels that these two aircraft are carved out of the same mold.

Although the field he is engaged in is rotary-wing aircraft, it does not mean that he does not know about other aircraft, so his evaluation of Wu Ping's words is only two words - sophistry.

"Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 are just the same aerodynamic layout, and there are still many differences in the details of the interior...... "Yodel is ready to debunk Wu Ping's sophistry, no way, if Tengfei Group violates the technology transfer agreement and is still producing "small forklift" helicopters, then their Leipzig company will really lose a lot, so knowing that doing so will offend Tengfei Group, Yodel still has to fight with reason.

As a result, before he could finish speaking, Wu Ping stretched out his hand to interrupt the conversation, and said with a smile: "You also said that the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 are just the same aerodynamic layout, and the same is true for 'small forklifts' and 'air pickups'.

But in fact, in addition to the appearance, there is an essential difference between the two, not to mention anything else, in terms of take-off quality, the "small forklift" is 8.3 tons, while the take-off weight of our "air pickup" is 7.5 tons.

The maximum lifting weight of the two is also different, the maximum lifting weight of the 'small forklift' is 3.5 tons, while our 'air pickup' reaches 4.5 tons......"

"Wait...... You just said that the helicopter in the sky has a maximum take-off weight of 7.5 tons, but it can lift 4.2 tons of cargo?"

Listening to Wu Ping's words, Yodel didn't feel anything at first, the maximum take-off weight was 800 kg less than the "small forklift", obviously the engine of Tengfei Group was still not up to par, and the power could not support the maximum take-off weight of 8.3 tons, so the fuselage structure was reduced by reducing the size and materials.

With this judgment, Yodel's hanging heart relaxed slightly, no matter what, as long as the helicopter of Tengfei Group is not as good as the "small forklift", which Cheng thought that he had just put his mind at ease, Wu Ping's subsequent sentence The maximum lifting weight was 4.5 tons, and the conclusion reached by Yodel was instantly hammered.

The weight of the fuselage has been reduced by 800 kg, but the maximum lifting weight has been increased by a whole ton.

This rise and drop is not as simple as the ordinary design structure and engine power, but the limit optimization starting from each rivet can be barely realized, so Yodel was shocked, so Yodel was shocked, so Yodel had to interrupt Wu Ping's words and asked the most concerned question.

"Of course!" Wu Ping was as neat as ever: "And in such a state, our 'air pickup' can fly 468 kilometers, oh, by the way, last week just carried out a plateau test on the Tibetan plateau, taking off from the airport at an altitude of 2,500 meters, hoisting 3 tons of materials and easily flying to the Tanggula outpost at an altitude of 5,000 meters. The air pickup trucks are very satisfied, and they are ready to purchase a batch after a series of tests to enrich the army aviation troops stationed in the southwest for the transportation of supplies in Tibetan areas. ”

As if to confirm Wu Ping's words, the "air pickup" helicopter in the distance returned to the take-off ground after flying a small half circle, and then dropped in altitude, hovered somewhere, and when the helicopter rose again a few minutes later, something was hoisted below.

When the helicopter flew closer, everyone saw that there was an old liberation car hanging under the helicopter, but it was this scene that made Yodel completely stunned.

It's not that this German gentleman admires China's old liberation, but because he knows very well some of the parameters of this classic vehicle that has been walking on Chinese soil for decades, one of which is the empty mass - 3.9 tons.

Although it did not reach the maximum value of 4.5 tons, it exceeded the maximum lifting weight of 3.5 tons of the "small forklift" helicopter, and looking at the "air pickup" easily and comfortably turning in circles in the air, climbing for a while, and descending for a while, it is obvious that lifting a 3.9-ton thing does not have much impact on it.

In other words, the "air pickup" helicopter can really lift more than 4 tons of cargo.

If the "air pickup" helicopter can really perform the plateau transport mission, the status of the S-70 helicopter will be greatly reduced, and even the Chinese side simply grounded the entire fleet because of the maintenance cost, anyway, there are already alternative models, although the load is not as good as the S-70, but everything is in their own hands.

The Chinese can build as much as they want, and if the capacity of a single flight is not enough, then use the number of helicopters to increase.

If China really realizes it, not to mention the Leipzig company, which is the manufacturer of the S-70 helicopter, and the American company Sikorski will not be able to sit still.

It is important to know that when Sikorski promotes the S-70 helicopter, it will show off the performance of the S-70 helicopter on the Tibetan plateau, so as to demonstrate the incomparable advancement of the S-70 helicopter.

However, once China grounds the entire S-70 fleet and switches to "air pickups" to carry out tasks on the Tibetan plateau, as long as the Tengfei Group lightly says that the failure rate of the S-70 helicopter on the Tibetan plateau is high and cannot meet China's needs, and then cooperates with a few seemingly professional papers or something, it can directly cause serious damage to the reputation of the S-70 helicopter.

Thinking of this, Yodel's whole person was a little trembling, if Tengfei Group really used the "air pickup" to challenge the S-70, the two sides were dead or alive Joddle didn't know, and the Leipzig company sandwiched in the middle was bound to die.
