The three renderings accurately depict the vision of the new H6 by the R&D department of Xifei H6.

The first picture is very H6, at first glance there is no difference from the current H6, but the original position of the engine compartment needs to be placed two engines, resulting in the entire engine compartment extending the position of an engine, from the front looks very similar to the British "Vulcan" bomber feeling, the engine is buried deep in the wing roots of the left and right wings, leaving only two huge air intakes;

The second picture looks very much like a Boeing 707, with two engines suspended in the form of wing cranes under each wing, but compared to the lower wing structure of the Boeing 707, this H6 is an obvious medium wing;

In the third picture, this H6 bomber looks like a mini version of the American B52 strategic bomber, and the engine is the same wing crane as the B52 bomber, with a group of two engines, but unlike the B52, which has a total of four groups of eight engines, this H6 has a total of two groups of four.

After reading the design drawings, everyone's expressions have not changed, the renderings are only, and even the design drawings are no problem, just a pure technical route consideration, which can't explain anything at all, but in general, it is still a small repair on the basis of the existing H6, and it does not involve a major modification of the overall structure of the fuselage.

He Kai was the same, he nodded and asked Chief Engineer Xu, "Old Xu, what do you think?"

"If I have to choose one of the three engine layouts, I prefer the wing crane scheme of the No. 3 diagram," in the system, everyone has to be responsible for what they say, for example, at this moment, after talking about his own tendencies, Chief Engineer Xu immediately explained why he preferred the No. 3 engine scheme: "One reason why I chose the wing crane scheme is the "TAY" of COMAC The length of the engine is almost 2.4 meters different from the turbojet 8, and if the installation position of the current H6 engine is still used, the center of gravity of the aircraft, the air intake tract, etc. need to be recalculated and designed, and the amount of work is very large.

On the contrary, if the wing crane scheme is adopted, it is much simpler, and we can completely adopt the air intake design concept of civil aircraft and B52, and the whole project amount is much smaller.

In addition, there is another point, Mr. He, didn't you say before that in addition to the 'tay' MK650, there will be 85KN and even 110KN improved 'tay' series engines in the future......?

Speaking of this, Chief Engineer Xu's eyes were shining, but the next moment, I don't know, the light in his eyes dimmed again, smiled bitterly, and said: "But Mr. He, it is impossible for the superior leaders to approve us to do this, even if the MK650 engine is domestically produced, it is estimated that it is not cheap......"

What Chief Engineer Xu really means: under the current general policy and strategy of the country, we can make some minor repairs and minor changes to H6, but if it is a modification of this degree, can the superior leaders agree?

It is true that Xifei is a kissing son, but while his kissing son is enjoying the love, connivance and even spoiling opposition given by the "father", it also means that the "son" must ask the "father" for permission in everything.

He Kai smiled: "As long as you don't use foreign exchange, everything else is easy to say, as for whether the superior leaders approve our project, hehe...... Although the country is now focusing on economic construction, when did the higher-level leaders hesitate in the slightest about the development of strategic weapons and equipment?"

That's the truth!

In 1978, after the country made the decision to take economic construction as the core and adhere to reform and opening up, it cut down many military projects on a large scale, but for those projects that can be called the cornerstone of national strategic security, there was never the slightest hesitation and hesitation, but more attention was paid to, such as nuclear submarines, such as submarine-launched ballistic missiles, such as a series of improvements of H6, such as aerospace technology......

In particular, nuclear submarine and submarine-launched ballistic missile technology are the highest priority projects guaranteed by the state.

After more than 10 years of development, on October 12, 1982, the second medium-range submarine-launched missile was successfully launched underwater, making China the fifth country in the world to master the technology of submarine-launched missiles.

This is the case with nuclear submarine technology and submarine-launched missile technology, and the H6 bomber project as a priority second only to nuclear submarines, submarine-launched missiles and strategic ballistic missile technology, naturally also enjoys ultra-high security treatment. The fuel economy and other aspects are almost all exceeded, and the reason why the H6I project was finally canceled is not because the aircraft is not good, nor because the engine is too expensive, not to mention that foreign exchange is needed to buy the engine, but that the engine is not in their own hands.

A piece of military equipment that can be called the cornerstone of national strategic security, the core subsystem is not in your own hands, which is equivalent to being held by others in your own balls, isn't this a joke?

But now COMAC has mastered the manufacturing technology of the more advanced "tay" MK650-8C engine, that is another matter, as long as this can achieve independent domestic production, the price is easy to say...... To put it more thoroughly, how many engines do you use a year? No matter how expensive it is, the core key to this kind of equipment is four words: autonomous and controllable!

He Kai knew how the H6I was valued at the beginning, and since the engine could be autonomous and controllable immediately, it would ......

Hey......

Carefully hiding the little smugness in his heart, He Kai cleared his throat: "Lao Xu, after you go back, write a document, well, about the No. 3 plan and subsequent upgrades." ”

"Huh?"

Chief Engineer Xu was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously looked at Liu Wei, the director of the engine factory, and then looked at He Kai, and the meaning was very clear: Boss, if we use the engine of COMAC, what should we do with the engine factory? After all, the engine factory is our own son of Xifei.

At the same time, Liu Wei was also looking at He Kai nervously.

I can't help but be nervous, this is a major event related to the dinner of thousands of old and young masters in the engine factory.
