Rosemary was frightened by Chen Geng's idea of pushing herself to become a member of George's cabinet, and Wang Dazhi was also embarrassed in the face of the request made by the visiting comrades of Lu Hang......

"Captain Li, it's not that we don't help, it's really that we haven't touched the aircraft of the 'aerial crane' at all, and we haven't even touched it, how can we extend the life of the fuselage structure?"

Just now, Captain Li of Army Airlines came to visit Wang Dazhi and put forward a request to Wang Dazhi on behalf of the S-64 "air crane" detachment of Army Airlines: I hope that COMAC can help the S-64 "air cranes" of Army Airlines to extend the life of the fuselage structure.

This is sad Wang Dazhi, of course he knows that this batch of domestic "aerial crane" heavy helicopters, this batch of helicopters is still around the 80s, Chairman Chen Geng helped to introduce from the United States, speaking of which, from the procurement to the present, this batch of S-64 "aerial crane" heavy helicopters has been in service in China for almost 20 years, but don't forget, this batch of "aerial crane" heavy helicopters has been in service in the United States Army for many years before this. And it is a second-hand product that has been decommissioned and sealed by the American Army Corps, so strictly calculated, in fact, the fuselage life of this batch of "aerial cranes" has exceeded 30 years.

The 30-year-old aircraft is an old aircraft from any point of view, not to mention that after this batch of "aerial cranes" came to serve in China, they should be in a state of "overload" in most of the service time, that is, this aircraft is really simple to the extreme, not as complicated as the current helicopter This can ensure the attendance rate under the full maintenance of the ground crew officers and men of the Army Aviation, and if it were left in the US Army, perhaps their ground maintenance personnel would have gone on strike in anger a long time ago.

But even so, the nearly 20 years of high-intensity use in Huaxia still make the fuselage fatigue of this batch of S-64 "air crane" heavy helicopters to a rather extreme state, according to the results of expert testing, if you want to let this batch of "air crane" heavy helicopters continue to serve, it is necessary to extend the structural life of the fuselage.

The so-called structural life extension, in fact, to put it bluntly, is to replace the main structural parts that have been seriously metal fatigue, and carry out a comprehensive overhaul of pipelines, hydraulic mechanisms, etc., and replace all that need to be replaced, in short, it is a very huge project.

But this matter is troublesome.

The trouble is that the S-64 "Aerial Crane" heavy helicopter is a product of the American Sikorsky Helicopter Company, and whether it is the civilian S-64 "Aerial Crane" or the military version of the CH-54 "Tahe", this helicopter has been discontinued and retired for many years, the production line has been dismantled, and even many supporting manufacturers have closed their doors. This is still without considering the factors of the US government, and with the current Sino-US relations, it is impossible for the US government to agree to Sikorsky to help Huaxia extend the life of these S-64 "aerial crane" heavy helicopters.

Having said that, even if the American government agrees, Huaxia doesn't dare to do it, referring to the history of the two batches of F-16 fighters seized by the American government of the minibus, everyone has to consider a possibility: This batch of S-64 "aerial crane" heavy helicopters was sent to the United States, what should I do if they were seized by the American government?

Not to mention that the US Government does not dare or will not do this, don't you have a profound understanding of the shamelessness of the US Government? And once the US Government shamelessly detains these S-64 "aerial crane" heavy helicopters from Huaxia, what can the Chinese Government do except verbally condemn them? It can't rush to the United States to snatch it back, or directly start a war with Millican, right?

No one dares to take this risk, but the fuselage condition of these S-64 "air crane" heavy helicopters is really bad, so after weighing it again, the military decided to ask the best helicopter manufacturing organization in China: Can COMAC take over this job.

"I know, Mr. Wang, I know what you said," Captain Li nodded with a wry smile: "But you should also know how important this batch of 'air crane' helicopters is to our army...... I can't say much, you get it anyway. ”

Speaking of this, Captain Li sighed and looked at Wang Dazhi with a pleading face: "Mr. Wang, I beg you, I must help." ”

Wang Dazhi nodded, yes, but he understood, and it can even be said that the officers and soldiers of the Army Aviation really played the role of this batch of S-64 "air cranes" heavy helicopters to the extreme, of course, the role of these "air cranes" was brought into full play, which means that these helicopters were really used too ruthlessly, but for the military, which is accustomed to having this kind of heavy helicopter with a maximum lifting weight of more than 10 tons, once it is not used, it will really go crazy.

But after understanding, Wang Dazhi still smiled bitterly: "Captain Li, it's really not that we don't help, it's just that this batch of planes is the point that our chairman helped to get it, as long as we can help, we have absolutely nothing to say about COMAC, but the problem is that we really don't know how to help." ”

Captain Li finally showed his fox tail: "I have an idea, Mr. Wang, can you listen to it?"

Gotcha!

Hearing Captain Li's words, Wang Dazhi understood that people had already figured out everything, and they were waiting for him here. Since that's the case, then what else is there to say, he nodded: "You say." ”

"Isn't your chief designer Victor the former deputy chief designer of the Miri Design Bureau and participated in the design of the Mi-26 heavy helicopter," Captain Li squeezed his eyebrows at Wang Dazhi: "The Mi-26 is much more powerful than our 'aerial crane', it is a super heavy helicopter with a maximum load of 20 tons, if Mr. Victor comes out, I think most of this problem will be solved." ”

Wang Dazhi couldn't cry or laugh: It turned out that Captain Li was waiting for him here.

Although Viktor Vladimirovich Kapaya's current research work is very important, since Captain Li said so, Wang Dazhi understands that Viktor has to go if he goes, and he has to go if he doesn't go, he sighed for a while and said: "That's it, you can go, but you can only stay with you for half a month at most...... Mr. Victor has a very important R&D task and cannot afford to delay. ”

Captain Li was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Deal!"
