"This ......"

Wang Dazhi frowned, he admitted that what Wei Tianming said was reasonable, after Chairman Chen Geng introduced a full set of technology and materials of AI-222 turbofan engine from the Ivchenko Design Bureau, COMAC certainly has its own manufacturing capacity of small-thrust military aero engines, but as a military engine, in the case of temporarily only adapting to COMAC's Yak-130 aircraft, the output of AI-222 is too low, if it is really as Wei Tianming said, the development of AI-222 engine derivatives, this is indeed the best use。

For the performance and potential of the AI-222 engine introduced from the Ivchenko Design Bureau, Wang Dazhi is one of the people who know best, this engine can not only develop different models such as no afterburner, short afterburner, standard afterburner, etc., in the planning of the Ivchenko Design Bureau, there is even a commercial model with a large bypass ratio, it can be said that the AI-222 engine has great potential, the question is, in addition to the Z-8, can other installed objects be found?

Looking at Wang Dazhi's frowning brows, Wei Tianming knew that this guy was moved, and he immediately continued to persuade and said: "In addition, in addition to our Changfei's Zhi-8, there is also Xifei's Yun-7, Yun-7 you know, right? Xifei has just recently made a new Yun-7 modification, called ......."

Before Wei Tianming's words were finished, Wang Dazhi took the words: "Yunqi-200!"

He was a little depressed, why did he forget the Yun-7-200, the recent civilian improvement of the Yun-7 series?

"Yes, it's the Yun-7-200," Wei Tianming immediately smiled, he Wang Dazhi knew that the Yun-7-200, the latest improvement of the Yun-7 series, said: "Mr. Wang, you should know that the Yun-7-200 that Xifei Group is testing uses two PW127C turboshaft engines produced by Pratt Whitney Canada, and the PW127C is also a 2000-horsepower engine.

With your company's R&D strength, as long as you make a 2000-horsepower turboshaft engine in AI-222, and then make a turboprop engine of the same power level, it will definitely be a problem...... The relationship between your COMAC Group and Xifei is so good, as long as your engine performance is acceptable, can Xifei Group not sell your face?"

That's right!

On the one hand, Xifei's current trump card product: the engine of the new bomber that is about to officially obtain the H-8 codename, but the COMAC Group provides, not to mention how much help the COMAC Group provided to the West in the early stage of the development of the H-8.

In this case, as long as the performance of the 2000-horsepower turboprop engine of the COMAC Group can meet the requirements of the Civil Aviation Administration of China in the past, just like Wei Tianming said, can Xifei not sell the face of COMAC?

However, you can think so in your heart, but you can't say that, Wang Dazhi waved his hand again and again, and said modestly: "It's too early to say this." ”

But then again, the Y-7-200 is a 50-seat short and medium-term civil aircraft, as long as it can pass the type certification, at least hundreds of domestic aircraft can be sold in the future, right? In addition to the early stage of the Y-7-100 may also be replaced, this is indeed a big market -- as for the future development of the international market and the like, Wang Dazhi feels that these are still too far away, so he does not want to think about it for the time being.

"Hehe......"

Wei Tianming laughed twice, and did not refute, but continued: "By the way, in addition to our Changfei's Z-8 and another, the country is going to develop an armed helicopter based on the Z-9 helicopter, this Mr. Wang, you should know, right?

Click!

A flash of lightning suddenly flashed through Wang Dazhi's mind: God, how did I forget this?!

In addition to the advanced tactical concepts and combat methods of the US military, the special role of helicopters and armed helicopters in modern warfare has also opened the eyes of the military's top brass.

However, compared with fighter planes, Huaxia's technology in the field of helicopters is even weaker, and there is no special combat armed helicopter at all, in this case, through China's most advanced armed helicopter: Z-9 armed helicopter equipped with a weapon system, the development of a type of armed transport helicopter, has become the most realistic choice for Huaxia.

The military also put forward such a demand: Based on the Z-9 helicopter, a type of armed helicopter with basic combat capability will be developed by installing weapon pylons and other means.

Of course, this is only the most basic, and there are many more detailed requirements, such as faster flight speed, more agile maneuverability, weapon and firepower configuration, and so on......

Because the weight of the whole machine is too much, the result of COMAC's calculation is that if you want to meet the military's mobility requirements, the original two 700 horsepower turboshaft-8 turboshaft engines will definitely not work, and the power of a single engine needs to reach at least 1000 horsepower, but the problem is that there is no turboshaft engine in the power range in China.

But Wei Tianming's words reminded Wang Dazhi that if COMAC can really develop a 2000-horsepower turboshaft engine based on the AI-222 engine, and then develop a 1000-horsepower "castrated" version by subtraction, wouldn't it be that the Z-8, Z-9 and Wuzhi-9 all have engines available?

Looking at Wang Dazhi's reaction, Wei Tianming breathed a sigh of relief: This guy was moved.

Speaking of which, if the turboshaft-6 can compete for some gas, Changfei will not come to COMAC Group for help, but the failure rate of the turboshaft-6 turboshaft engine is too high, and the users are impatient, and even Changfei is scolded by the army.

"Chief Engineer Wei, you should know that such a big thing is not something I can do," After some thought, Wang Dazhi finally spoke, he looked at Wei Tianming and said: "I will report your intention to the chairman, as for whether the board of directors can approve it, there is no way to guarantee this." ”

"That's enough," Wei Tianming nodded hurriedly: "Mr. Wang, thank you so much, next time you come to our porcelain capital, you must call me!"
