Chapter 802: Thunder Project!

In the hearts of everyone, the Hengshan A4 turbofan engine developed by Yonghan Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. is the fourth-generation core machine, which is already very advanced, but now Yonghan Aviation Technology has developed a subversive aero engine, and a new weapon platform can be born on this engine platform!

In this way, Huaxia Guo can no longer run behind the butts of Europe and the United States on this basis, but transfer to another runway to compete.

"Wu Lao, do you think that if we take the lead in industrialization in this area, if country A wants to transfer the technical route, they will also be able to keep up quickly, right?"

Zhang Kelong asked.

"I don't think it's so fast, the military industrial companies of country A are all in the hands of these private military industrial group companies, and they have been deeply entrenched in traditional aero engines, and it is very difficult to let them suddenly change their technical route and inevitably cause huge internal differences. ”

Wu Lao said with emotion: "Fortunately, Yonghan Aviation Technology Company is a young company, the soul of this company is still a very young man, and full of creativity and courage, I am very optimistic about the future of Yonghan Aviation Technology Company." ”

After the meeting, Zhang Haiping also walked out of his office quickly and reported to Xue Yuedong as soon as possible.

Xue Yuedong also nodded after listening to Zhang Haiping's report and said: "Very good, with more advanced engines, we will be able to create more advanced weapons and equipment, and our Huaxia Kingdom will no longer have to be pickled by these Western countries!"

Although Xue Yuedong does not understand technology, he also knows the importance of an advanced engine platform.

"This is a project that our military needs to focus on, so that in the name of the military, you will personally follow up on this project, and make sure that this engine successfully completes the technical verification and enters service. ”

Zhang Haiping said in a straight voice: "Don't worry, chief, we will set up the project immediately, and I will follow up personally!"

Xue Yuedong looked at Zhang Haiping and said, "I think Xiao Yang didn't ask for the military's R&D expenses this time, right?"

"Yes, I heard that they have invested more than 3 billion yuan in the research and development of this project themselves. ”

Zhang Haiping said.

"Such a major project can't just let Yonghan Aviation Technology always pay for it itself, the military can bear the cost of various technical verification of this engine in the future. ”

Xue Yuedong nodded.

The significance of the military project is extraordinary, Zhang Haiping is happy for Yang Jie, and it can be said that the resources of the whole country will be inclined to this project.

Yonghan Aviation Technology Company can transfer elite soldiers from major research institutions, Yonghan Aviation Technology Company asks for money, the military can allocate huge scientific research funds, and Yonghan Aviation Technology Company wants other things, all of which are given priority to satisfy.

However, Yonghan Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. has never taken the initiative to reach out to the state for R&D funds, and has always paid for the purchase of product technology if the military likes it after the product technology comes out.

"By the way, the prototype of Huaxia Fokker's 150-seat trunk airliner has come out, right?" asked Xue Yuedong.

"Yes, it's already out, maybe they'll start their first flight after the New Year. ”

Zhang Haiping said: "This is the first domestic mainline aircraft with more than 100 seats, and it is also the first to break into the market monopolized by the two giant companies Boeing and Airbus, and it is estimated that it will be suppressed by Boeing and Airbus." ”

"China still has to try its best to protect Huaxia Fokker Company, and it is not easy for China to achieve good results in the aviation industry, and it cannot be interrupted again. ”

Xue Yuedong nodded and said: "I have also read the report written to me by Huaxing Group Company, in the international market of civil large bypass ratio turbofan engines, the engines of 150 to 200-seat trunk airliners are the mainstream products, they predict that in the next 10 years, trunk airliners will need at least 25,000 engines, accounting for about 73% of the civil engine market, if we do not have such a flight platform in China, the domestic engine will not be able to go out." ”

"Yonghan Airlines' Kunlun large bypass has the largest thrust than the turbofan engine, the Kunlun 500 thrust can reach 24 tons, and the Kunlun 300 can reach 15 tons of thrust, these engines can already meet the needs of domestic civil aviation aircraft. ”

Xue Yuedong said: "Yonghan Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. has made a good start, and Huaxia Aviation Development Group Co., Ltd. must also work hard. ”

"Huaxia Aviation Development Group has a long way to go in the design of high-thrust turbofan engines. Zhang Haiping said.

"What the state can support still has to be supported. ”

Xue Yuedong said.

"Chief, now the domestic aero engine is not much of a problem, and now the conditions in all aspects are almost the same, can our previous stalled "Thunder Plan" be restarted?"

"This plan has been stalled for more than seven years, and if a strategic bomber like the White Swan restarts the production line and improves the design, Da Mao has not made progress since 2000 when he restarted the project, and this matter needs to be more cautious. ”

"Chief, judging from the information we have received, the reason why Da Mao's preparation to restart this project at the Kazan plant was blocked is actually very simple, and now Da Mao no longer has the manufacturing capacity to produce strategic bombers. ”

Zhang Haiping said: "After the disintegration of the Great Mao, 90 percent of the military aviation industry has not received orders from the military all year round, and it is difficult to maintain it only by selling abroad, resulting in a large loss of scientists and skilled workers, and many factories have also closed down and stopped production, which is a very fatal blow."

"Now the main responsibility for the production of the White Swan is the Kazan plant, which is mainly responsible for the manufacture of special composite materials and the processing of large structural parts. However, it is quite difficult to manufacture the large structure parts of the White Swan, and some parts can be more than 20 meters long, and the Kazan factory has not processed this kind of parts for many years, and it is difficult to have this processing capacity at present. ”

"In addition, the processing technology of the white swan is very demanding, in order to ensure the performance and life of the aircraft, a lot of special processing technology must be used, at present, the equipment of the Kazan factory is too old, many have been unusable, Da Mao and other equipment manufacturers in the CIS countries have long been disintegrated, there is no way to produce, like some special processing equipment they even have to buy from our country, especially to order from the machine tool research institute. ”

"Another is that after Damao restarted the project in 2000, there were only a handful of old workers, and the new workers had no processing experience, and their production speed was very slow. ”

Zhang Haiping said: "According to conservative estimates, it will take at least one or two decades for Da Mao to resume the production of strategic bombers, and at least hundreds of billions of dollars will be invested to do so." ”
