Just when Chen Gengwei successfully completed the test of his RB211 gas turbine, what he didn't know was that someone approached Wang Dazhi.

"Chief Engineer Wei, you are a rare guest, welcome. ”

Although there are some doubts about the visit of Wei Tianming, the chief engineer of Changfei Group, as the chief engineer of the entire Changfei Group, Wei Tianming has a very high status in the domestic aviation field, especially in the field of helicopters, and the RB211 gas turbine test of COMAC Group also invited Wei Tianming.

"Mr. Wang, you are too polite, you came to visit suddenly, please don't be surprised......

Wei Tianming's age is about the same as Wang Dazhi, they are all about to be 60 and about to retire, everyone's age is here, so there are not so many scruples, after a few simple greetings, Wei Tianming said: "Mr. Wang, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

Wang Dazhi immediately nodded: "You say." ”

Wei Tianming must have something to do with himself, Wang Dazhi is very clear and understanding of this.

Wei Tianming looked at Wang Dazhi and said, "That's the case, I want to know, does your group have the idea of developing a 2000-horsepower turboshaft engine?"

"2000 shaft horsepower turboshaft engine?" Wang Dazhi frowned, thinking that Changfei's main business now is the Zhi-8 engine, he immediately understood Wei Tianming's intention: "Chief Engineer Wei, what do you mean...... Engines for the Z-8 helicopter?"

Wang Dazhi understands the situation of the turboshaft-6 engine used on the Z-8 more clearly, whether it is the turboshaft-6 turboshaft engine mounted on the previous Z-8 or the improved turboshaft-6A mounted on the latest Z-8A, this engine has high fuel consumption, short overhaul intervals, many faults, self-weight, and a small power-to-weight ratio...... and so on, the inherent problems have not been solved, there is no way, these are all problems brought by the mother's womb.

As a turboshaft engine with a maximum output of 1550 horsepower, let's put it this way, compared with the world's advanced turboshaft engines of the same power level, the turboshaft-6 series turboshaft engine only solves the problem of "having and not" in this power level field in China.

“......”

Wei Tianming sighed and didn't speak—what could he say?

"This ...... Isn't it okay?" Glancing at Wei Tianming, Wang Dazhi said: "Chief Engineer Wei, let's not talk about whether our COMAC Group has this idea, the engine factory can rely on such an engine now, or what, this ......?"

If COMAC wants to make a 2,000-horsepower turboshaft engine, what can we do with the Changzhou Machinery Factory, which lives on the turboshaft-6 turboshaft engine?

Speaking of this, Wang Dazhi couldn't help but think of the country's introduction from the United States. Tahe's heavy helicopter, the boss Chen Geng also suggested to the country to introduce Apache helicopters and Black Hawk helicopters on the T700 turboshaft engine, T700 turboshaft engine is a good thing, short overhaul interval, reliable performance, low fuel consumption, low weight, can be said to be the best engine in the United States at that time, when the relationship between China and the United States was at the best time, even if it was T700, they have been relieved, but in the end because of the price factor was not introduced, now think about it, what a regret, if we gritted our teeth and introduced the T700 turboshaft engine, the heart disease problem of Zhi-8 is not a problem at all, right?

"Yes, Mr. Wang, I also know what you said," Wei Tianming nodded: "But if the Changzhou Machinery Factory continues to be unsuccessful, will our army only be able to use helicopters with heart disease? As the chief engineer of the Changfei Group, the first thing I should consider is that Changfei and we, Changfei, should provide the country and the army with helicopters of reliable quality and good performance. ”

PS: Sorry brothers, please wait a few minutes.

Wang Dazhi immediately nodded: "You say." ”
