Chapter 368: Peregrine Falcon—1 Rotorcraft

Hearing this, a senior officer wearing an air force uniform standing behind the head of the headquarters smiled so hard that if Zhuang Jianye was here, he would definitely not be a stranger to seeing him.

Some time ago, at Ning Xiaoxue's wedding banquet, the big boss was revealed, and a group of heroes from the Tengfei Factory were drunk, and by the way, it was the old leader of Zheng Quanli who personally poured Zhuang Jianye, the head of a certain air force department, into the hospital.

And the root cause of their hard work at the wine table is the fifteen latest products of the Tengfei Factory, the Peregrine Falcon-1 rotorcraft, that are flying away in the distance.

Originally, this model was not a tailor-made product for the troops, but was developed by the Tengfei Factory to train its own pilot team.

After all, Tengfei factory is not a day or two to get involved in manned aircraft, their own flight team can not be less, otherwise which day to build an aircraft that can carry people to the sky, the customer said, then you take me to the sky to try twice, but what should I do?

Although it is possible to get some pilots from the Air Force for emergency, it is not a long-term solution, after all, where is there a shortage of pilots in civil aviation, so the pilots from the Air Force are generally taken away by civil aviation, and as for spending money to hire foreign pilots, Zhuang Jianye didn't even think about it.

Those ghost guys ask for a dead price, not to mention, but also one by one, those who know understand that you are taking care of it, and those who don't know think that you got a father from abroad to serve.

So after thinking about it, Zhuang Jianye simply pulled the draft team to train himself, anyway, there is a shortage of everything in the country now, that is, there is no shortage of people, and it is not a combat talent with ultra-high technical requirements like flying fighters, but it is a basic tutorial of general aviation, and it should not be a problem to accumulate slowly.

Based on this idea, Zhuang Jianye set up a so-called flying enthusiast club within the Tengfei factory, and began to select talents with flying potential in the form of off-site activities.

The theoretical course is easy to do, but the practical operation is a little annoying, Zhuang Jianye intends to let the members of the club touch the real guy, it is best to go up to the sky and turn around twice to feel the feeling, the problem is that this year is not like a few decades later, the plane is very strictly controlled, and it is difficult to enter, but you can't spend money to touch the joystick.

But because of this, some laws and regulations are not perfect, and the definition of low-altitude fields is very vague, so Zhuang Jianye looked at it this way, and simply got some paragliders and gyroplanes as the initial practical models, which are not only safe, but also can avoid the risks in the name of sports, after all, the flying club itself is classified as a sports organization, which can be said to abound abroad.

Thanks to the relationship with the sports department when selling model airplanes, Tengfei Factory quickly won the support of the local sports department, as for the two hardware equipment of paraglider and rotorcraft, it is really not difficult for Tengfei Factory, an aviation manufacturing enterprise that has a certain amount of technology accumulation.

Let the designers of the training center make a design, save some leftovers from the workshop production, and then install the four-stroke engine used on the drone, and the rest is to fly as much as you want.

Through these two models, Tengfei Factory has really cultivated a group of flight enthusiasts, and with this as the backbone, Tengfei Factory Flight Enthusiast Club has gradually spread to the society, attracting many flight enthusiasts.

Among them, Ning Xiaodong of the old Ning family is the most enthusiastic one, every time he goes back to Xingzhou, no matter how many things he has in his hands, he must drive to Huancheng and personally drive the two models around the air a few times to enjoy himself, otherwise he doesn't feel that he is going back to his hometown.

Even sometimes talking about business, Ningda boss will pull those partners over, personally drive the rotorcraft or paraglider around the sky twice, during which he will tell his entrepreneurial story over the years, talk about his life ideals, and finally show his unique hobbies and unique vision through flying sports.

That's called a forced one.

There are very few people who can make ordinary passenger planes these days, not to mention driving in circles in the sky, it is much cooler than playing golf and bowling, so every time Ning Xiaodong uses this trick, it can be said that it is invincible.

Because those businessmen believed that Boss Ning, who could go around the sky at any time, was absolutely powerful, which further fueled Boss Ning's fanaticism.

So one day, the fanatical boss Ning took Zheng Quanli, who was not yet married, to feel the majesty of his eldest brother in the sky, because he felt that Zhuang Jianye's brother-in-law was hopeless, and it was better to train a new brother-in-law, otherwise his sense of existence as an eldest brother would be too low.

The result is a cool display later...... There will be no future.

Because Zheng Quanli has been completely attracted by the gyroplane, unlike the paraglider, the parachute made of cloth is easy to damage, not to mention, there are certain requirements for wind power, which is absolutely fatal to the flexibility of field operations.

On the other hand, the gyroplane, the propeller is just an auxiliary means to improve the lift, the metal material is strong and firm, not to mention, it can also be used as an emergency landing equipment when necessary, and it can be forced to land vertically, unlike the paraglider that needs to slide, with higher safety and more durability.

It is very suitable for infiltration raid operations of airborne troops.

After Zheng Quanli, a professional soldier, found out about this, he couldn't take care of his uncle's feelings, and without saying a word, he went to contact Zhuang Jianye to ask if there was any detailed information about the rotorcraft, because he felt that this model was very helpful for their airborne troops to improve their mobile combat capability.

An ordinary training model actually got the interest of the military, Zhuang Jianye might have let go of such an opportunity, so the two sides quickly contacted, and then Zheng Quanli's unit came to the Tengfei factory many times to inspect the rotorcraft, and finally decided to sell 15 planes at a unit price of 30,000 yuan.

Subsequently, according to the opinions of the troops, the Tengfei Factory made a series of improvements to the training rotorcraft, so that it could carry three heavily armed combat members and hang ordinary 100-kilogram aerial bombs on both sides.

At this point, the Peregrine Falcon-1 rotorcraft equipped with the Airborne Forces was officially born.

"This little thing is not big, but it can play a big role when used well, and it is not difficult to operate and train, right?"

Just when Zheng Quanli's old leader thought with a look of relief, when he and Zhuang Jianye fought hard until their blood pressure increased and was hospitalized, it seemed that it was not a loss, the head of the headquarters raised his binoculars again, looked at the air defense troops of the imaginary enemy troops who came out of the position in despair, and suddenly asked.

Just Zheng Quanli's old leader quickly replied: "There is no difficulty, as long as you are not afraid of heights, master a certain amount of flight knowledge, and you can be proficient in driving with a little training.

After all, the helicopters of our airborne troops are too few and too precious, and the fuel cost of one sortie is enough for two companies to pay for a month's food, so we have found an alternative method such as a gyroplane. ”

The head of the headquarters nodded when he heard this, and then put down the telescope in his hand: "It's good, but it's still too conservative, if your rotorcraft is doubled, the assault effect just now will be better." ”

In a word, in the heart of Zheng Quanli's old leader, he could only smile bitterly, okay, it was in vain to dare to fight for wine at the beginning.
