Testing continues.

Pilots of naval aviation also came.

There are 500 T-Rex helicopters, enough for thousands of pilots to take turns to control.

With so many aircraft, one day of training is a total of 12,000 hours of flight time. Two days of training is 24,000 hours. In terms of test items, it definitely met the requirements.

The vast majority of aero engines are about 100 hours in the sky, and if there is no problem, it is considered to be passed.

Now, the ZM-100 turboshaft engine has been in the sky for more than 30,000 hours.

So far, there have been no breakdowns.

Obviously, its quality is absolutely excellent. Stability and reliability are guaranteed.

Liu Zhenhua was very pleased.

The day has finally come.

Finally, it's time to see a helicopter in the sky.

It's not just the performance of the T-Rex helicopter that is gratifying. It is also gratifying to see its production capacity. There is also a cost.

Wang Buan's offer is 110 million yuan. It can definitely be discounted.

It is estimated that the last 80 million yuan or so will be won.

At such a price, it would be a dream to laugh.

Five hundred is not enough.

More will definitely be needed.

However, he can't call the shots in this matter.

He can only react objectively and truthfully to his superiors based on what he sees, hears, and tests the data he obtains.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, a Tyrannosaurus Rex helicopter swooped down.

It leaps suddenly, then flips, flips, and swoops down fiercely. Descend like a goshawk.

The powerful momentum made Liu Zhenhua, who had been through a hundred battles, change his face.

No way, the T-Rex helicopter is too huge.

Huge people have a psychological shadow.

Levisman reversed!

This is one of the most superlative tactical moves!

After avoiding the enemy's anti-aircraft fire, immediately reverse and counterattack, attacking the enemy with the heaviest firepower.

For a gunship, this can be considered a standard combat maneuver.

But for transport helicopters......

With such a huge body, to make a Levisman reversal......

It's definitely not an easy task!

"Who did it?" Huo Yixing, is it you?" asked Liu Zhenhua curiously.

"Not me. Huo and his entourage replied in the negative.

"Who?"

"It seems to be Chen Quanxing?"

"Who?

"It's only been half a year since I joined the army. Shortly after graduating from aviation school. The rank of second lieutenant. ”

"Really?"

Liu Zhenhua's eyes lit up slightly.

A pilot who has only been training for more than half a year can actually make a Levisman reversal?

To say that this person is of a very high level is certainly impossible.

If it was a genius, he would definitely know it.

Most of the time it's average. Or even lower-average. He didn't know him.

Since even ordinary pilots can make the Levisman reversal, then there should be no problem for others, right?

Sure enough, other pilots also tried.

All successful.

There wasn't a single case of failure.

In the eyes of the pilot, the huge body of the Tyrannosaurus Rex helicopter is not an obstacle at all.

Its control is like an arm and finger, and it is flexible and free.

Thanks to the powerful power of two ZM-100 turboshaft engines, at an altitude of 100 meters, there is no pressure at all. Even if the oxygen concentration is only 20% of that of the ground, it is as powerful as an ox.

The mechanical rigidity of the fuselage is also very strong. I don't feel tearing, weakness, swaying, or anything like that.

As long as the driver gives a command, it can be easily completed.

It seems that it is not a big guy with an empty weight of 30 tons at all.

Rather, it is a small dragonfly with an empty weight of 1 ton.

"Chief Engineer Wang, are you preparing for the Zhucheng Air Show?" Liu Zhenhua said suddenly.

"Hmm...... That's right, too. Wang Bu'an wanted to speak and stopped.

He subconsciously wanted to say no.

In fact, it really isn't.

He didn't expect the Pearl City Air Show at all.

It just felt like we needed a Big Mac helicopter and needed to fill the gaps, so he came out.

Well, the word cottage is indeed not very good. However, in fact, it is. The construction of the Tyrannosaurus Rex helicopter is indeed largely based on the Mi-171 helicopter.

In the spirit of seeking truth from facts, he cannot deny this fact. He also felt that it was not good to do so.

However, if it is a new design, it will take too long.

Obviously, our ground aviation can't wait.

Cottages are cottages.

We are better than blue.

Let's make a much better quality than the original product, so that there will be less criticism.

"The air show is indeed a good opportunity. ”

"Yes. ”

"However, the Tyrannosaurus rex cannot be sold. ”

"Understood. ”

Wang Buan wanted to speak and stopped.

When the words came to his lips, he retracted again.

Making an excuse might make people more willing to believe it.

After all, Tyrannosaurus Rex Industries and White Feather Whale Technology are both commercial companies.

It's not strange to want to make a name for yourself at the Zhucheng Air Show.

"Are there any other models?"

"I don't know what your needs are. ”

"Helicopter gunships. ”

"Are there any specific parameters?"

"Yes. ”

Liu Zhenhua immediately asked the staff officer to submit the parameter requirements.

This is what the troops have always wanted.

In addition to transportation, helicopter gunships are the main focus.

Obviously, helicopter gunships do not need such a large body. What it needs is short and lean.

Be fast.

The firepower should be fierce.

Be strong in defense.

Keep the movement small.

Preferably invisible.

Wang Buan silently calculated.

It's actually quite simple. A little borrowing is fine.

In today's world, if you want to say that the most murderous and fierce helicopter gunship, it is definitely Apache.

However, Wang Buan felt that this was not enough.

Use Transformers technology to build a high-end version of Apache?

Anyway, you have to be a few levels higher than Apache.

Faster.

The fire is more ferocious.

Stronger defense.

Stealth performance is better.

However, Wang Bu'an did not have any details about Apache.

Design out of thin air, that's impossible. It can't be done in a short period of time. Calculating aerodynamics alone is very difficult.

Why is it so difficult to design a tiltrotor because you have to start from scratch!

We have absolutely no physical objects to refer to. It has to be done one step at a time.

Relatively, if it is borrowed, it is much faster.

If you want to learn from it, you must have a physical object that can be disassembled. You can figure out every detail.

For example, the Black Hawk helicopter was dismantled, and every part was taken out for study. Then reverse research and development. It is also a way to shorten the research process.

Cottages, of course, are not noble. Wang Buan disdains to do such a thing. He's going to do it better than the original.

At present, Wang Buan has dismantled a total of two types of helicopters.

One is the Wuzhi-9.

One is the Mi-171.

If you want to quickly manufacture prototypes, you can only temporarily "copycat", according to their characteristics, or enlarge, or shrink, or modify.

In a matter of seconds, Robot No. 1 designed several sets of solutions.

Mainly all are enlarged versions of the Wuzhi-9.

Don't think that the Wuzhi-9 is backward and useless.

In fact, purely from the design point of view, the Dolphin helicopter of the past is also very good. Otherwise, we wouldn't have introduced it.

Just strengthen the performance of each parameter.

What is the name of such a murderous helicopter?

Of course, it's called the Sword King Dragon.

Its empty weight is about 5 tons, and its maximum take-off weight is about 38 tons. The payload is about 33 tons.

Equipped with a ZM-100 turboshaft engine. 13600 shaft horsepower.

Maximum speed 380 km/h.

The practical ceiling is 12,000 meters.

None of this is a problem.

The key is the setting of various weapons.

There are a lot of attachment points for the Sword King Dragon gunship, and there are fifty-six of them.

Well, this number sounds good, so I chose this number.

If Pu Qiancheng knew about it, I don't know how happy he would be.

With so many weapon attachment points, how many weapons and equipment can be carried. It's a mobile arsenal in the air!

So, the question is, how many prototypes to produce?

This thing is not very versatile.

It doesn't have a civilian market.

If the military does not order, it will have to be stranded.

Come to think of it, let's make five first. Look at the results after the military trial.

Ordered the production of the industrial park.

It also takes a day.

At this time, the Tyrannosaurus Rex helicopters that were being practiced had already returned one after another.

It's not that there's a problem with the helicopter. It's that the pilots are tired.

They had been operating for three or four hours in a row, and they were all very tired.

Flying a helicopter is much more exhausting than driving.

Helicopters are not civil airliners, and they are not autopiloted.

In order to test performance, you have to make drastic movements all the time. From level 1 to level 7, try every move.

After a set of movements, I feel very tired.

Substitution.

Go on.

The day passed quickly.

The empty shell of the Sword King Rex helicopter gunship was produced.

Well, it's an empty shell.

There are no weapons, they can only be called empty shells.

To be precise, Wang Buan does not have the capacity to produce helicopter gunships. Because he has no weapons.

There are no machine guns.

There is no cannon.

There were no bombs.

There are no missiles.

There are no weapons, and certainly not helicopter gunships.

A real helicopter needs to carry a lot of weapons.

However, Wang Buan has reserved various interfaces.

The previous Wuzhi-9 could only carry a maximum of 4 Red Arrow-8 anti-tank missiles. Now there are 16 interfaces reserved.

In other words, it can carry up to 16 anti-tank missiles.

Previously, only two Wyvern-10 anti-ship missiles could be mounted. This has now increased to 12 interfaces.

Previously, only two torpedoes of 383 mm caliber could be mounted. Now it has increased to 8 interfaces. And the caliber increased to more than 800 mm.

Previously, there was only one 23-mm cannon. The reserve ammunition is only 500 rounds. Now the number of 23-mm cannons has increased to four. The ammunition reserve for each door has been increased to 8,500 rounds. Without the use of other weapons, just the cannon can shoot the ground into a sea of fire. If it's an enemy infantry, it's simply a reaper.

Previously, there was only one 12.7 mm machine gun. The reserve is about 1,200 rounds. Now it has also increased to four. The ammunition reserve for each door has been increased to more than 15,000 rounds. Anyway, some are space, some are power, just install it. As for whether it can be used, Wang Buan doesn't care.
