Chapter 1359 Can't Look Down
Jin Sichang smiled bitterly, and he didn't hide it: "Few, do you think this kind of thing can be counted as a little Sichang of mine?"
This sounds like that, but one of the people present counts as one, and which one is not a human spirit?
Don't think that a soldier is simple-minded and well-developed in his limbs, and can achieve the position of colonel of the army aviation regiment, but who is really simple-minded? Everyone immediately understood what Jin Sichang really meant: The state has no intention of developing a 2,000-shaft horsepower turboshaft engine for the time being.
Well, to be precise, it means that the state does not have the financial money to develop turboshaft engines of this level, and if COMAC is willing to pay for its own research and development, the country will of course welcome it with its hands held high.
Speaking from the bottom of their hearts, everyone thinks that the overall performance of the Wuzhi-9 introduced by General Manager Wang Dazhi to the big guys has basically been able to meet the operational requirements of the army aviation unit at this stage, such as the Mi-28 "Havoc" and the AH-64 "Apache" heavy armed helicopters, which belong to the icing on the cake category of "having better and not being able to do nothing" for the Chinese army aviation unit at this stage. Don't you see that the A-129 "Mongoose" helicopter gunship that Italy has just been equipped with after entering the 90s is not even as good as the "Tiger", AH-1W "Super Cobra" and AH-1Z "Zulu Cobra", with a maximum take-off weight of only 4900 kg, and this Wuwuzhi-9 of COMAC belongs to the same weight class of armed helicopters?
If our country really can't develop a turboshaft engine of this power level, several captains and deputy heads of the army aviation regiment will gladly accept the Wuzhi-9, but now, after listening to Wang Dazhi say that COMAC has the ability to develop a turboshaft engine at the 2000 shaft horsepower level, they can't be calm - the fragrant white flour steamed buns are of course delicious, but if there are fragrant big meat buns to choose from, then I still choose big meat buns.
Li Jianguo thought about it, he looked at Jin Sichang, then at Wang Dazhi, and finally said in a deep voice: "General Manager Wang, how sure are you about this 2000-shaft horsepower turboshaft engine?"
Wang Dazhi did not answer immediately, but said: "Our COMAC Group, now the chief designer and chief engineer of the aero engine is Mr. Vadim Rabinovich, Mr. Vadim Rabinovich is the deputy chief designer of the most famous aero engine design unit in the former Soviet Union: the Ivchenko Design Bureau, and is also the chief designer of the D-18T turbofan engine, D-36 turbofan engine and D-136 turboshaft engine. How sure are we that of Mr. Lotarev, the general designer of the Ivchenko Design Bureau, a student who has been involved in the design and improvement of the D-18T turbofan engine, the D-136 turboshaft engine, the AI-25TL turbofan engine and the AI-222-25 turbofan engine, you say?
Li Jianguo's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "This Mr. Rabinovich is one of the designers of the D-136 engine?"
Although the Mi-26 heavy helicopter has not been introduced in China, as the chief officer of the domestic army aviation unit, he is certainly no stranger to the Mi-26, which has the "king of heavy helicopters", and naturally knows that the D-136 turboshaft engine with a maximum power of up to 11,000 shaft horsepower on the Mi-26 is also known.
"It's great that you know the D-136 engine," Wang Dazhi smiled and nodded: "Hmm...... By the way, the chief designer of our Wuzhi-9, Mr. Viktor Vladimirovich Kapaja, is also the designer of the VR-26 final drive on the Mi-26 heavy helicopter. ”
Wang Dazhi, this guy is showing off!
The people present, one counts as one, and they all clearly understand this.
Listening to Wang Dazhi's words with a strong taste of showing off, Jin Sichang was gone, and the heads and deputy commanders of several army aviation regiments were shining one by one!
What does Wang Dazhi's words mean?
It means that they will not only be able to solve the problem of the most important engine of heavy gunships and 10-ton general purpose helicopters, but also solve the problem of the transmission system that is as important as the engine, or even more important.
For example, the country has also organized technical forces to imitate the S-70 helicopter introduced from the United States, as the civilian version of the U.S. military's "Black Hawk" general helicopter, the S-70 helicopter has a very high technical content, once had a very special position in our country, and the reason why we failed to imitate in the end is actually stuck on the engine and final reducer, and now, COMAC has the ability to solve these problems......
Thinking of this, Li Jianguo finally made up his mind: no matter what the country is considering, but since I am a person from the army aviation, I must consider for the army aviation, since the 2000 horsepower turboshaft engine and the supporting final reducer are what our army aviation needs the most, and the commercial aviation group has this technical strength and ability, then I have to find a way to persuade the superior leaders to let the superior leaders set up the project and allocate funds at the same time!
After making up his mind, Li Jianguo took a deep breath and asked Wang Dazhi: "Mr. Wang, if the state gives you funds, you will carry out relevant research and development work?"
But to Li Jianguo's surprise, in the face of his inquiry, Wang Dazhi was not only overjoyed, but shook his head: "Head Li, it's true that we COMAC have this technical strength, but we may not have this time." ”
What the?!
COMAC didn't even want this project?!
Wang Dazhi's obvious refusal not only surprised several heads of the regiment, but even Jin Sichang was inexplicable: This kind of money sent to the door, COMAC Group didn't want it?
Wang Dazhi didn't speak, but Zhang Ying explained to everyone: "We are now working the one hand, we have to continue to improve the 'tay' and RB211 series engines, and find ways to improve fuel economy and thrust. On the other hand, our RB211 gas turbine is now under close testing, for this gas turbine, both the Planning Commission and the Navy are very important, these are the current focus of our COMAC Group, as for the 2000 shaft horsepower class turboshaft engine and supporting reducer......"
Zhang Ying smiled and said, "IMHO, this project is far less urgent than the previous one, so ......"
COMAC can't even look down on it!
When Zhang Ying's words came out, Li Jianguo, who originally felt that he was helping COMAC to win projects and financial allocations, opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word.
The other captains and deputy regiments were not much better, and they now only had one sentence in their hearts: "!"
