For a long time, everyone thought that COMAC was very eager for this financial allocation, but now after listening to Zhang Ying's words, everyone suddenly understood that people didn't really care.

If a boy shush a girl and ask for warmth, most of the girls will be a little proud and complacent, thinking that this kid must be interesting to me and want to chase me, at this time, the girl may be wondering in her heart: Should I be more reserved?

But if the girl tentatively asks the boy, "Are you interesting to me?", the boy is stunned and says, "How come?" I am good buddies with your brother, and your brother asks me to take care of you", the girl will be angry in an instant, and at this moment, her mentality is nine out of ten like: You don't like me? You dare not like me?!

At this moment, Jin Sichang's mood is similar, he has always thought that COMAC actually wants to launch a turboshaft engine in the power range of 2000 shaft horsepower, and he can't talk about it, but he did consider "if the country gets such an engine with as little expenditure as possible", but now, Zhang Ying's words are like a slap in his face, hot......

You're so self-indulgent, we didn't even think so!

After a while, Jin Sichang looked at Zhang Ying and said in surprise: "You guys...... Not in the open?"

"If conditions permit, of course we hope to be able to do this project," Zhang Ying said with a smile. However, we later found that everyone does not seem to be very concerned about this matter, after realizing this situation, we have also thought carefully, indeed, for the current domestic urgent need of high-power gas turbines and other engines, the domestic demand for turboshaft engines is not so urgent, the so-called things have priorities, since the importance of this engine is not so high, then we will temporarily focus on more important things. ”

As soon as he spoke, Jin Sichang was speechless.

Because this is the case, does the country need a turboshaft engine with stable and reliable performance in the 2000 horsepower class?

Absolutely!

There is no doubt about that, but the question is, how urgent is the demand for a 2,000-horsepower turboshaft engine?

These, in fact, have to be marked with a question mark.

The "Taihang" engine for the "No. 10" project, the improved version of the turboprop-6 engine of the Y-8, and the new-generation turbojet-14 "Kunlun" engine for the J-7 and J-8......

Even Kim knew that there was a voice within the Air Force discussing whether it was necessary to replace the four "tay" MK1011s on the H-8 bomber with two RB211s.

After all, as a large bypass ratio turbofan engine, RB211 in thrust equivalent to two "tay" MK1011, fuel consumption rate is much lower than "tay" MK1011, if two RB211 for military improvement to replace the H-8 bomber on the "tay" MK1011, it means that the H-8 bomber can get a larger range.

Which of these engines is not more urgent than the development of a turboshaft engine in the 2000 hp class?

Compared with the "Kunlun", "Taihang" and even the military RB211, the 2000-horsepower turboshaft engine is really not in a hurry, but this question should be looked at from whose point of view, from the perspective of Jin Sichang, of course he feels that his position is fine, but from the perspective of Li Jianguo and several other army aviation units, then the situation is different: Who said that we are not important? We are the most important!

"Secretary Zhang, you can't say that," Li Jianguo said immediately: "The performance of the 'Apache' armed helicopter of the United States in the Gulf War and the use of it by the US military show that under the conditions of modern high-tech warfare, special armed helicopters, especially heavy armed helicopters, play an extremely important role that cannot be replaced by other types of weapons. What role does the Super Cobra gunship play in this?"

Of course, Jin Sichang knew that what Li Jianguo said was right, at this time, the strait area was cloudy, and war seemed to be on the verge of breaking out, and in the 4V area, in addition to the world's largest density of air defense missiles, we were quite skeptical, and the AH-1W "Super Cobra" helicopter gunship, which can pose a major threat to the beachhead landing, also gave us a headache.

Is helicopter gunship important from this point of view?

Definitely important!

However, Jin Sichang can be the position of the director of the first department of the Science and Technology Commission, and the ability to adapt must be not lacking, he smiled slightly, and said: "Commander Li, of course I know that the armed helicopter is very important, but I am a little Sichang, it is useless for you to tell me this, if you can move those big guys to open an opening for your army aviation, of course I have no opinion." ”

Li Jianguo: "......"

This head Li was choked by the soft nail of Jin Sichang and couldn't speak.

Wang Dazhi was still quick to react, and he said in a timely manner: "A few leaders, let me say a word, isn't it a little early to discuss this now? The meal should be eaten one bite at a time, should we develop the Wuzhi-9 first, and then discuss the issue of heavy Wuzhi after we have accumulated some experience in the use of armed helicopters?"

No one intended to make things too stiff, and everyone quickly took this opportunity to divert the topic.
