Taking this opportunity, Wang Dazhi made a bold decision to let the leaders of the army aviation who were interested in experiencing it go up to experience it in person, so that they could have an intuitive feeling of the difference between the Wuzhi-9 and the Zhi-9.

Wang Dazhi's suggestion immediately aroused the interest of the principal responsible leaders of several army aviation regiments at the scene.

To tell the truth, although several domestic army aviation regiments are equipped with the Z-9, they are not too impressed with this armed helicopter named Wuzhi-9 by the COMAC itself: when we don't know, the power system, transmission system, rotor system, tail boom, The tail rotor and operating system are exactly the same as the Z-9, or just some fine-tuning has been made in some places, since it is the foundation of the Z-9, how much difference can this aircraft fly with the Z-9?

But when they really went to the sky, they found that the flight characteristics of these two aircraft are still very different, perhaps because the windward side of the nose is smaller and narrower, and the short wings on both sides provide a certain amount of lift.

At first, everyone thought that this was caused by the change of the aerodynamic shape, but when it came to this problem, Wang Dazhi clearly said: "There are factors of change in the aerodynamic shape, but more because Viktor Vladimirovich Kayapa has fine-tuned the control system of the aircraft, and improved the flexibility and agility of the aircraft control under the condition of ensuring that the control system of the troops is greatly changed." ”

Hey?

Is that the case?

Li Jianguo immediately asked Wang Dazhi: "Manager Wang, does that mean that such an improvement can also be made all the way up to the Z-9?"

Their Army Aviation Regiment customers are equipped with a lot of Z-9s.

Li Jianguo's question caused several other leaders of the Army Aviation Regiment to prick up their ears one after another: Is it good that our regiment also has a Z-9? If this improvement can be moved to, can our regiment's Z-9 also be changed?

"It can definitely be changed," Wang Dazhi nodded, "but we don't recommend everyone to change." ”

Li Jianguo immediately asked, "Why?"

Wang Dazhi: "After all, the Z-9 is only a transport helicopter ......"

Wang Dazhi didn't say what he said, but several leaders of the army aviation immediately understood what he meant: this kind of upgrade will definitely cost money, and the Z-9 is a transport helicopter after all, as a type of aircraft that does not need to rush to the front line of battle, the slight difference in maneuverability is actually not very important...... Wouldn't it be better to use steel on the cutting edge?

Speaking from the heart, everyone thinks that Wang Dazhi's words are very reasonable, but everyone is still a little unwilling: as the main leader of the Army Aviation Regiment, in addition to the political commissar, such as the regiment commander, deputy regiment commander, and team leader...... These cadres themselves also have flight time requirements, and they must be "old flyers", since they are "old flights", who doesn't want the "knife" in their hands to be sharper?

It's just that, despite their reluctance, everyone also understands that Wang Dazhi is right, and there is really no need to spend this money -- if the country has money, why would we tie artillery to the decks of civilian ships and use it to attack the beaches of imaginary enemies during last year's and this year's large-scale military exercises?

This scene is quite uplifting to look at, and it has fully carried forward our army's fine tradition of "not being afraid of difficulties, using our brains, and giving full play to new strength with old equipment": What happened to our equipment? But the courage of our soldiers to defend their homes and the country, and not to be afraid of difficulties and death, has never changed!

But then again, isn't this scene tragic? If we have a strong maritime strike force, why should we let civilian ships go to war?

There are some words and some things that cannot be said more, and if you say too much, you will be in tears.

Wang Dazhi also felt the change in the atmosphere, of course he knew what this change was, he had expected it, and then said: "Of course, we COMAC also promised you that in the future, the Z-9 will be optimized for the control system, which you can rest assured." ”

Hearing Wang Dazhi say this, everyone's mood is a lot better.

Li Jianguo snorted even more, and said to Wang Dazhi with a smile: "Then on behalf of the brothers of our regiment, I would like to thank Mr. Wang in advance." ”

According to the plan, the next batch of Z-9s will be to equip their regiments.

"You're welcome," Li Jianguo said politely: "If you are still satisfied with the performance of our Wuzhi-9, please mention it more to the above after you go back, after all, it will be 97 soon, if we can drive a special armed helicopter produced by our country into our country's field, it is not only of great significance, but also a rare stage to show our progress to the international community." ”

It's a tear to say, up to now, on the Wuzhi-9 project, COMAC has not received a penny of state financial allocation for a few days, all of which are paid by COMAC out of its own pocket, if it is not quickly incorporated Wuzhi-9 into the national procurement sequence, Wang Dazhi feels that he can be sprayed to death by the group's financial director.

Well?

That makes sense!

Everyone smacked their lips and felt that Wang Dazhi's words were ...... Does that really seem like the case?

..................

Not to mention how the leaders of these continental aviation regiments will report to their superiors after they go back, just talking about Southern Power, they are in a hurry now.

As the only engine production unit of Z-9 and Wuzhi-9, it is said that the life of Southern Power should be very comfortable now, the reason is very simple, the more the Z-9 and Wuzhi-9 of the Commercial Aviation Group sell, the more recognized the land aviation, the more the turboshaft-8 and the improved turboshaft-8A of Southern Power will be sold, and a helicopter will require two engines, plus a certain number of spare engines, even if the COMAC Group only delivers 12 Zhi-9 a year, the small life of Southern Power can also be very happy.

At the beginning, Southern Power did think so, but after knowing that COMAC was developing its own 2000-shaft horsepower turboshaft engine, And after the core engine has achieved the first ignition, they can't sit still, and after knowing that the engineer who presided over the development of the first 2000 shaft horsepower turboshaft engine in China is actually the former deputy chief designer of the Ivchenko Design Bureau of the former Soviet Union secretly poached by COMAC, Southern Power felt that he didn't know which villain it was, and put a large number of thumbtacks under his chair - the kind with the tips of the nails pointing upward- I can't sit still anymore: since COMAC can develop its own turboshaft engine with 2000 horsepower, will they develop their own engines for the Z-9 and their Wuzhi-9?
