Wang Dazhi kept pouting in his heart: Sure enough~~ I knew it was like this!

Because Chen Geng was deeply involved in the Soviet Union in the 80s, in this wave of "sharing the cake" action, COMAC Group is also the most profitable enterprise; on the other hand, COMAC is hugely rich and can give preferential treatment that other domestic aviation manufacturing companies cannot give, so units such as Xifei, Shangfei, Shenfei and Shaanxi can only watch COMAC scoop up the largest piece of meat in the pot.

Xifei is unwilling, they also have ideas: although our financial resources cannot be compared with that of commercial aircraft, can your people be used by me?

The large transport aircraft is the method that Xifei came up with to use the technical strength of commercial aviation for Xifei: if we jointly develop a large transport aircraft, those people you poached from the Antonov Design Bureau, the Tupolev Design Bureau, the Ilyushin Design Bureau, the Ivchenko Design Bureau, and the Yakovlev Design Bureau must always participate, right?

When the time comes, Xifei will be able to steal the teacher.

And at this moment, Wang Xiaodong said it so openly and brightly: That's right, we fly west because we are greedy for the technical power in your hands, so we want to jointly develop this big transport aircraft with you, what's the matter?

Wang Dazhi is not surprised to be "targeted" by Xifei, he understands very well in his heart, there is a domestic aviation manufacturing enterprise, there is one, who does not covet the technical strength of our COMAC Group? Smacking his lips, Wang Dazhi said: "Mr. Wang, I will also tell you directly, such a big matter is not something I can call the shots alone, the meaning of the chairman, the meaning of the above, these need to be considered by us as a whole." ”

"I understand," Wang Xiaodong nodded, of course he knew that it was absolutely impossible to expect him to talk to him Wang Dazhi for half an hour to finalize this matter, just like he Wang Dazhi himself said, he didn't have such a big right: "I came this time, just to tell you some of our ideas about this large transport plane, as for whether the cooperation between the two sides can be reached, let's take our time." ”

Wang Dazhi nodded: "For this large transport aircraft, what is your initial concept of flying west? For example, the key indicators of tonnage and maximum load, which model is the benchmark or reference?"

That's the question, but Wang Dazhi thinks Xifei still has a choice? It can only be compared to the dozen or so Il-76s in our country. But Wang Xiaodong's answer greatly surprised Wang Dazhi......

"Yes," Wang Xiaodong nodded, and bowed slightly to Sun Changhong, who had not spoken much, "Xiao Sun, you can introduce your work to Mr. Wang." ”

Hey?

Wang Xiaodong's action made Wang Dazhi a little surprised: He?

COMAC and Xifei have cooperated in many aspects, naturally, Wang Dazhi still has some understanding of Sun Changhong, the technological star of the Xifei Group, Sun Changhong has participated in the development of the FBC-1 "Flying Leopard" fighter-bomber, and has also participated in the development and improvement of the Y-7 series aircraft. That is, the fighter-bomber officially numbered J-7 has been improved, and the current J-7 has been upgraded to J-7A, and it is said that the chief designer is also this Sun Changhong (I know it should be surnamed Tang, but I dare not write it like this), it is already surprising to let such a young man serve as the chief designer of J-7A, does Xifei still plan to let him serve as the chief designer of this large transport aircraft?

Is Westfly so bold?

Wang Xiaodong obviously understood the meaning of Wang Dazhi's surprised expression, and nodded with a smile: "It's time for young people to carry the burden." ”

Wang Dazhi's heart shook violently!

Xifei has begun to consider letting the younger generation of designers take the lead, but COMAC Group ...... Is there an outstanding talent of the younger generation who can take the lead? Wang Dazhi asked himself, and suddenly felt that the COMAC Group had neglected the cultivation of young talents over the years? Has he, the general manager of the group, not done a good enough job in personnel training?

Wang Xiaodong and Sun Changhong didn't know that because of their words, Wang Dazhi's heart had so many thoughts, and Sun Changhong, who was named by Wang Xiaodong, stood up, he didn't seem very excited, bowed slightly to Wang Dazhi, and then began to say: "Mr. Wang, what should we do about China's new generation of large transport aircraft, we think so:

At the beginning of our internal discussions, our idea was to use the C-141 large transport aircraft of the US Air Force as a reference system, the maximum take-off weight of the C-141 large transport aircraft is 155 tons, and our Xifei itself already has the ability to manufacture a 150-ton H-8 bomber, which is of course the most suitable from the perspective of risk control, after all, we already have the ability to manufacture aircraft of the same tonnage.

But after carefully analyzing the relevant situation of the C-141 large transport aircraft, we still gave up on using C-141 as a reference system, first of all, the maximum load of C-141 is less than 40 tons, especially the cargo compartment, the maximum width is only 3.11 meters, and it is impossible to transport our Type 96 main battle tank, let alone the newer and more powerful Type 99 tank. ”

Wang Dazhi nodded in listening, the Type 96 main battle tank was finalized last year, and this will inevitably become the main equipment of our army's new generation of main battle tanks in land warfare, with a maximum weight of 39 tons and a body width of 3.3 meters, which really can't fit into the belly of the C-141. As for the Type 99 main battle tank under development, the weight has come to 55 tons, and the possible improvement in the future will be even heavier, and it is indeed too difficult to expect a 150-ton transport aircraft to be able to do it.

So, aren't you still going to use the Il-76 we are equipped with as a frame of reference?

Wang Dazhi thought so in his heart.

"Excluding the C-141, there are also C-17, C-5, and the Il-76 and An-124 for our reference," Sun Changhong continued: "But the C-5 and An-124 are both strategic transport aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of 380 tons to 400 tons, which greatly exceeds our current technical strength, so when designing our own large transport aircraft, we can refer to some advantages of these two aircraft, but they cannot be used as a frame of reference."

In this way, only C-17 and Il-76 remained, after repeated comparisons of the two large transport aircraft, the Il-76 and C-17, and the analysis of the size data of our army's main equipment in service, and the size of our army's equipment in the next 30 years, we believe that relative to our needs, the size of the Il-76's cargo compartment, In particular, the width is a little smaller, and the 48-ton load of the Il-76MD is really a bit stretched, considering that your group already has the RB211, a high-thrust aero engine with a maximum thrust of more than 210KN, we have made a bold decision to fully refer to the C-17, and moderately reduce some technical indicators. ”
