Chapter 734: Market Prospects for Light Helicopters

Although the old people wanted to rush to pull Jiang Chen and the others to discuss the next matter, they were still stopped by Jiang Chen. After visiting the www.biquge.info for so long, it was time to eat, so Jiang Chen took the old people to the restaurant in the park to prepare for dinner. Because it was evening, there weren't many people in the restaurant, only a few people were sitting in the empty cafeteria. These people are either people who work overtime, such as employees in some urgently needed production plant or researchers in some laboratory project team. Although the company does not encourage overtime, there are still some departments or factories that will work overtime in order to catch up with the schedule. In this regard, Jiang Chen and his management are not easy to refuse, because a little improper handling will discourage the enthusiasm of employees. The other is an employee who lives in a bachelor apartment in the company, or someone who doesn't want to cook for themselves. Because the food in the company canteen is better and more affordable, there are some people who are reluctant to cook by themselves.

Seeing Jiang Chen and them coming, the employees greeted them warmly, but they didn't bother them too much. The management cadres and executive chef of the restaurant saw that Jiang Chen was leading a group of people over, so they hurriedly greeted them. Originally, Jiang Chen wanted them to get some food, but the old people didn't want to, so they had to experience how to swipe the card to eat. Jiang Chen was helpless, so he had no choice but to follow them.

In the evening, the old man ate less, so he did not eat much, and soon everyone found a place where no one was around. As for Jiang Chen, seeing this, he went to get a meal and ate it with him. Because there is no one, it is inevitable that people will discuss something during the meal. The main thing is the previous issue of the integration of the two teams, and the cadres and old people on Jiang Chen's side put forward a lot of good suggestions and ideas, which Jiang Chen and they all happily adopted. Soon this topic will be finalized here, and the official plan document will be taken out later, and it can be implemented after Jiang Chen approves it.

After eating, it was dark, and Jiang Chen wanted to send the old people back to rest. But the old people were unwilling, and they were very excited to drag Jiang Chen to discuss with him, and strive to finalize the next thing so that they could implement it quickly, because they were all a little impatient. Seeing this, Jiang Chen had no choice but to invite the old people to the conference room of the company's headquarters again, and then asked the staff of Jiang Chen's office to serve tea and snacks to the old people, and then waited outside. At this time, the personnel in the administrative office who are usually in charge of this are off work, although there are some personnel on duty, but they are on duty and can't leave, so it is the turn of these personnel in Jiang Chen's office. Although it was time for them to get off work, Jiang Chen was still in the company, and Liang Qi, who was in charge of the secretariat, was still at work, so naturally they couldn't leave, so they stayed until now.

One of the most important topics of the meeting was how to carry out the next step, this plane must be built, but how to build it, what to build, this has become an issue in front of Jiang Chen and them. Regarding the scope of this starting model, Jiang Chen and they have already planned, that is, to start small and start lightly. Develop ******** first, and then gradually grow and grow. After the ******** technology is thoroughly understood and the production is mature, it will begin to impact medium-sized aircraft, and then further develop heavy aircraft or large aircraft. In this regard, although the experts are a little unwilling, after all, they used to build large planes, and this time they were called to build small planes, everyone must be a little reluctant in their hearts. But they can also understand Jiang Chen's plan, and they also think that Jiang Chen's plan is in line with the current but true situation. The rice is eaten in one bite, and the steps are also taken step by step, only in this way can we grow and develop healthily. Although they had some achievements in the previous big planes, it is undeniable that they made this ambitious mistake, so it will gradually evolve into the current bitter fruit.

For this ********, Jiang Chen prefers this two- to five-seat light helicopter, and two- to eight-seat light fixed-wing aircraft. Regarding this light helicopter, Jiang Chen prefers the 'Little Bird Helicopter' developed and produced by the old American McDonnell Douglas Company. Although McDonnell Douglas and these experts have a deep hatred, it is undeniable that people's technology is advanced. Take this 'Little Bird Helicopter', for example, the best light helicopter in the world, which has been tested many times.

McDonnell Douglas' MD-500 'Little Bird Helicopter', with an empty weight of less than 700 kg and a maximum take-off weight of 1.6 tons, can be said to be the lightest military helicopter. But it is small, but it is versatile, and it has been greatly welcomed in both civilian and military circles, and has been produced for 36 years since 68 years, and has been sold in dozens of countries. The old US Army was designated OH-6 "Pony", AH-6 and MH-6, nicknamed "Little Bird".

The 'Little Bird Helicopter' can perform a variety of missions due to its excellent performance. Such as training, command and control, reconnaissance, light attack, anti-submarine, troop transport and logistics support, etc., can be described as an 'air all-rounder'. The air ambulance model of the 'Little Bird Helicopter' can carry two flight crew, two stretchers and two medical personnel, which can effectively carry out timely and necessary air rescue and transfer to the injured people or soldiers on the battlefield. When it is used as an attack helicopter, it can carry a lot of weapons, including the old American standard 7.62 mm machine gun, 30 mm cannon, 70 mm rocket launcher, "Tao" anti-tank missile and other weapons, the power is not much worse than that of ordinary military helicopters, and even it can carry "Stinger" missiles to have an air battle with other helicopter gunships. The special forces of the United States are even more fond of the "Little Bird", because it is small and flexible, especially the noise and infrared signal are very low, and the concealment is excellent, which is very suitable for the night raid operations of the special forces. It can carry seven people, including the driver, and is not slow, reaching 281 km/h, making it an ideal vehicle and support weapon for special forces. This is also the reason why Jiang Chen took this 'Little Bird Helicopter' into account, only the expensive and scarce Black Hawk helicopters cannot meet the use of the increasingly powerful special forces in the wolf's den, not to mention the newly established special forces of other units, the demand for helicopters is also very huge.

Regarding the application of this 'Little Bird Helicopter' in special operations, Jiang Chen, who is a military fan in later generations, is like thunder. For example, in 93 years, the old American special forces dispatched 8 Black Hawk helicopters and 4 Little Bird helicopters to lock Mali Mogadishu to arrest local warlords and senior officials and clashed with local militias, in the operation, the Little Bird helicopter relied on the characteristics of small and flexible landing on narrow streets and quickly took off from the danger area after putting down the special combat personnel, in contrast, the clumsy Black Hawk helicopter could only hover in the air to rope down the special combat personnel, not only caused accidental falls and was even directly shot down by the RPG-7 rocket launcher two, after this battle, the great advantage of the Little Bird helicopter in the special operations operation was known to the world。

Jiang Chen wants to produce the 'Little Bird Helicopter', on the one hand, it can be used as a good starting model for the company to get involved in the aviation field. A more important reason is that in the future, even more than ten years, our country, including most countries in the world, will have a huge demand for this kind of light multi-purpose helicopter. Whether in the military field or in the civilian field, it has given full play to its huge advantages. For example, if the Wolf Special Operations Brigade formed by Jiang Chen is definitely the best choice if you want to play a fast, mobile and flexible special operations tactics, then helicopters that are not limited to terrain and can break into the operation at any time are definitely the best choice. The 'Black Hawk helicopter' used by the Wolf's Den now has excellent performance, but it is too expensive to be suitable for large-scale use, let alone high-intensity and high-risk training. Not to mention the special operations units that have been separated from various units, they are also very eager for helicopters, but there is no helicopter with superior performance and low price that can enter their eyes. And not to mention other troops or units, and it also has a wide range of uses in the civilian field, so it is not worried about the market.
