Zhang Kelong said to Yang Jie with a smile: "It seems that you have been planning for a long time in terms of refueling aircraft!"

"Fokker F150, which Fokker is about to prepare for its first flight, is very suitable for use as a tanker, because the thrust of our Kunlun 500 turbofan engine of Yonghan Airlines can reach 25 tons, and we can improve it to reach the K-767 level. ”

Yang Jie said: "Now I have asked Fokker R & D personnel to start the design and development of the tanker, the fuel storage tank of the tanker is set in the lower part of the fuselage, the upper part of the space is arranged as a cargo hold or passenger cabin, after the fuel carried in the aircraft is transported out, it will not affect the center of gravity of the aircraft, the fuel carried is now designed to be more than 90 tons, and can also carry up to 54 passengers or 24 stretchers or 18 pallets." ”

"This tanker is borrowed from Boeing's design ideas, ready to design a set of very advanced avionics equipment for the tanker, reserved the potential for future improvement, and then if the domestic air force needs in the future, this large air tanker can also increase air communication relay, high-altitude reconnaissance and early warning, and even the ability to launch long-range precision-guided weapons to carry out attacks, so that a model can undertake a variety of combat missions and capabilities, and can switch functional modes at any time. ”

Song Daozheng glanced at Yang Jie in surprise, and then suddenly realized that Huaxia Fokker Company is the largest civil airliner manufacturing company in China, and it is fully capable of converting these production capacities into military aircraft in a very short period of time.

The company under his big boss can not only build aero engines, but also build many core components of aircraft, and can also design and manufacture large aircraft and stealth drones.

Unconsciously, Huaxing Group has become an aviation manufacturing giant company!

Zhang Kelong also did not expect that Huaxing Group would take advantage of the very good relationship with the rest party to copy the hard pipe refueling system on the refueling machine in the rest country.

The two tankers purchased from country A in the seventies were the largest in existence, carrying an astonishing 200 tons of fuel.

Yang Jie said with a smile: "To measure whether a country's air force is strong or weak, whether it is defensive or offensive, the most important thing is to see how many large air tankers the country's air force is equipped with." The Air Force of country A is equipped with a total of 397 K-135 and 58 K-10 large air tankers, and 60 K-130 medium air tankers, for a total of 515 aircraft. In terms of the total number of air tankers, the Air Force of Country A has more air tankers than the air forces of many other countries combined. ”

"Even a smaller air force like the Hebrew Air Force is equipped with nine Boeing 707 modified tankers and four K-130 medium air tankers. There is no refueling aircraft in service in China until now, and then even if the fuel carried by the eight K refueling aircraft is still too little, only Da Mao and Ermao can be sold to us at this stage, but these two have encountered great problems in production, and they can not meet the needs of the domestic military for refueling aircraft. ”

"Without the support of a large number of advanced large air tankers, our air force can only be a defensive air force, which can only be used to watch the air force at home, but in the future, the country's interests outside will become more and more, and the military must be sent to protect it, such as large transport planes and tanker planes must be indispensable. ”

Zhang Kelong nodded and said: "It is indeed very remarkable that you can do this step, and the military is also waiting for your good news." ”

Yang Jie smiled: "When the time comes, Fokker will enter the refueling machine industry, don't be scolded by Xifei Group Company and Shaanxi Fei Group Company." ”

Zhang Kelong glanced at Yang Jie and said: "The central government now has the idea of reorganizing the first and second aviation group companies, in the past, the state hoped that the two aviation industry group companies could form a competitive situation, and after so many years, it was found that the effect was not good, and now the two major aviation groups are independent legal persons, not subordinate to each other, and the resources are relatively scattered, which is not only not conducive to the concentration of resources, but also produces the problem of duplicate construction. ”

"Now Huaxing Group has begun to enter the aviation industry, but also make a good reputation, the two major aviation group companies aircraft development level compared with the western developed countries, there is still a certain gap, and even with your Huaxing Group company aviation technology level has also opened a distance, the central leaders can not sit still, decided to concentrate all the scientific research and manufacturing resources of the aviation industry to create a new aviation group company. ”

"I'm under a lot of pressure to do that!"

Yang Jie said.

"I don't think you look like you're under pressure," Zhang Kelong looked at Yang Jie and said, "The head of the Central Committee also hopes that Huaxing Group Company can form a situation of healthy competition with the newly established Aviation Group Company and provide better weapons and equipment for the military." ”

Yang Jie nodded.

In fact, he also got the news that the reorganization and integration plan of the two major aviation industry groups was jointly taken up by the reorganization group composed of the senior management of the two major groups, and began to be gradually implemented after being approved by the central government, and the entire reorganization and integration process is expected to last two to three years.

In other words, between '07 and '08, this reorganization will be completed.

However, Yang Jie is not very worried about this.

The five major fields of nuclear industry, aerospace, aviation, shipbuilding, and weapons, which originally belonged to the military, have been opened to Huaxing Group in addition to the nuclear industry.

The central government also hopes that the catfish of Huaxing Group will come in and stimulate these state-owned enterprises to actively participate in market competition.

Judging from the current effect, the effect is very obvious, especially with the Fokker company quickly formed a relatively complete industrial chain in China after coming in, and now COMAC Group has quickly completed the final assembly of regional aircraft with the help of this industrial chain.

At present, due to the completion of the layout of the fuselage structure industry chain of large aircraft in China, as long as the domestic company is strong enough in design and integration capabilities, it can build a good aircraft.

Of course, this industry is technology-intensive and capital-intensive, and it is not just any company that can come in and play well.

Huaxing Group has almost been on this for six or seven years to have the current achievements, and it is also inseparable from the establishment of a large number of technical patents and engineering and technical personnel training system accumulated by Huaxing Group in many technical fields.

At the same time, dozens of subsidiaries of Huaxing Group Co., Ltd., adding up to more than 200,000 people, nearly 150,000 people of various software and hardware engineering and technical personnel, plus cooperative companies and universities, can mobilize resources of two or three hundred thousand engineers, so many manpower, material and financial resources are sometimes concentrated in a certain product, such a high intensity of investment even the most difficult products can be manufactured.
