Chapter 826: Go Your Own Way and Let the US Imperialism Have No Way Out!
For Yang Dafuer's slippery head, Margaret Thatcher has learned many times.
However, Margaret Thatcher could sense that Yang Weiping's attitude towards the Soviet Union seemed to be similar to what she thought.
And Yang Weiping has already put it into action. Oriental Union investment in the Far East of the Soviet Union is now in full swing, and the Far East is moving faster and faster on the road of transformation from a planned economy to a free market economy.
She and Reagan tried everything they could to do, but Yang Weiping did it easily, and the effect far exceeded her and Reagan's expectations.
Andropov now opened the Soviet Union to foreign investment, much to the delight of Margaret Thatcher and Reagan. This is also an important reason why Reagan has been pressuring the White House not to turn against the OUD.
No matter how much the Eastern Union led by Yang Weiping struggles in South Asia and the Indian Ocean region, as long as he can get the Soviet Union to start experimenting with the market economic system, it will be the most favorable news for the entire Western camp.
Compared with the fierce and huge polar bear of the Soviet Union, the tiny Oriental Union is nothing more than a disease of ringworm in the eyes of the United States. As long as both the Soviet Union and China can succeed in peaceful evolution, it will be a matter of seconds to deal with the Eastern Union.
It's just that this self-righteousness of the U.S. imperialism gave OUCC the most precious five-year period of stable development, thus laying a solid foundation for OUCC to become a great power in one fell swoop.
This qiē is all because the "little old fox" in front of him took advantage of his young appearance to mislead the world, so that Britain and the United States had to swallow the evil consequences of raising tigers.
Now it seems that the Eastern Union Union's choice of the voiceprint signature intelligence of the US Navy's "Lobinji" class attack nuclear submarine in Syria must also have some profound meaning.
Perhaps, international events such as the visit of the Soviet leader to Syria will soon occur.
It seems that the voiceprint signature data of the "Lobinji" class attack nuclear submarine cannot be obtained from Yang Weiping for the time being, so he can only take this opportunity to let this "little old fox" quickly implement the details of the cooperation in the EFA plan.
After making up her mind, Margaret Thatcher did not pay attention to the US-Soviet spy war in Syria. Instead, they called the head of the EFA program, Professor Hook Armstrong, the chief designer of Rolls-Royce, and his assistant to 10 Downing Street.
Professor Hooke, who is over fifty years old but energetic, is well-known in the European aviation industry and even in the world aviation industry. However, in front of the head of Yang Da. But he had to bow his head, which he thought was noble.
There is no way, compared with the youngest national leader in the world in front of him, Professor Hook can only secretly sigh that he has lived to be a dog at this age.
In terms of power, he is the head of state of the Eastern Union of China, and Tiangong Group is also one of the three major shareholders of Rolls-Royce.
In terms of achievements in the academic field, Yang Datou also has the honorary halo of "Father of the Nano Era" and "Global Science Mentor" on his head.
What impressed Professor Hooke even more was that the three-rotor turbo engine RB211 almost bankrupted Rolls-Royce, and only the RB211-524C series products were produced, which was less than two years after Tiangong Group became a shareholder. Just on the basis of the RB211-524C, come up with a new product that makes Boeing and Airbus impeccable. Not only is the use of a more advanced new medium-pressure compressor, but also the first use of wide-chord shoulderless (boss) hollow blades, which significantly improves the aerodynamic efficiency of the fan and reduces the production cost.
In addition, Tiangong Group has introduced many new aerospace materials to Rolls-Royce. For example, a new high-temperature and high-strength titanium alloy used in high-pressure compressors and fans, a new carbon fiber composite material used in the engine nacelle, and so on.
In order to let Tiangong Group gain a firm foothold after taking a stake in Rolls-Royce, Yang Weiping did invest a lot of money. Originally, it was not until 1998 that the RB211-524G-T and RB211-524H-T series three-rotor high-bypass ratio turbofan engines were industrially mass-produced, under the guidance of Boss Yang. In 1982, it became the fist product of Rolls-Royce. In addition, the RB211-535E4B has also become one of Rolls-Royce's flagship products six years ahead of schedule.
The "1+1 is greater than 2" effect produced by strong alliances. In the field of joint development of advanced aircraft engines by Tiangong Group and Rolls-Royce, it has been the most perfect interpretation.
When Rolls-Royce, which has nearly 100 years of technology accumulation and precipitation, has been injected with fresh blood, the vitality of Tiangong & Rolls-Royce Aviation Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as TR Company) established by reorganization and integration has amazed the whole world. At present, TR is active in the four global markets of civil aviation, defense, marine and energy, with gas turbine technology as the core, and has become the world's largest military engine and the largest civil engine manufacturer surpassing GE in the United States.
Although in the second privatization of Rolls-Royce, Tiangong Group completed its controlling stake in the newly established TR company. But the original team left behind by Rolls-Royce has no complaints. Because the new controlling major shareholder has a height that Rolls-Royce cannot help but look up to in terms of financial strength and technical strength. In particular, the major shareholder's investment in the research and development of new technologies made Rolls-Royce's original technical team even more impressed.
This time, in the new EFA program, TR has undertaken the difficult task of developing a fourth-generation military turbofan engine for a new advanced tactical fighter. But. As the head of the new EFA program, Professor Hook did not feel too much pressure. Because Professor Hook knows that OUCC has successfully developed the world's first mass-produced fourth-generation military high-thrust turbofan engine WS15, according to the technology sharing and confidentiality agreement signed between TR and OUCC, TR can share most of the new material technologies used in WS15.
For TR, which has strong technical strength, it is not difficult to design a fourth-generation military turbofan engine that can compete with OUCC WS15 with more advanced new high-temperature and high-strength alloy materials and composite materials.
In order to facilitate Yang Weiping and Professor Hook and others to discuss technical topics, Mrs. Thatcher generously gave up her private office, and she herself went to the prime minister's office to deal with other government affairs.
In line with the principle of going their own way, so that US imperialism has no way out. Yang Weiping did not hide anything in the process of discussing with Professor Hook and other technical experts.
Yang Weiping knows very well that although the fourth-generation military turbofan engine WS15 independently developed by OUCC has been finalized, in terms of technical background, TR has deep resources that are more unique than OUCC in some aspects.
It is impossible for WS15 to completely monopolize the global demand market for fourth-generation military turbofan engines, and a fourth-generation military turbofan engine has been developed in cooperation with Europe as a supporting power system for the new EFA program. It can further allow the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and Spain to further accept OUCC's participation in the new EFA program.
After listening to Professor Hooke's introduction to their original design plan, Yang Weiping pretended to be contemplative, and for a long time, he asked Professor Hooke's assistant to bring a set of drawing tools, and in front of these top European aircraft designers, Yang Weiping used his pen like a fly, and was extremely skilled in drawing a graphical sketch of the control surface of the F22 Raptor fighter.
This diagram includes ten aerodynamic control surfaces and two sets of vector thrust vents, including leading edge flaps, ailerons, flapers, horizontal tails, and directional cabins.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Weiping explained while constantly depicting the three views of the F-22EMD design structure, and also marked out the approximate design parameters: wingspan 13.6 meters, span ratio 2.36, total length 18.9 meters, total height 5 meters, total wing area of 78 square meters, horizontal tail area of 12.6 square meters, vertical tail area of 16.5 square meters, empty weight of 14,365 kg, maximum take-off weight of 30,164 kg.
Looking at Yang Weiping, it seemed that he didn't have to think about marking these parameters one by one. Professor Hook held back the shock in his heart and asked cautiously, "Yuan Fuhrer Yang, this is the fourth-generation tactical fighter of the Eastern Union Air Force?
While speaking, Professor Hook mentally compared the design parameters of their BAE verification aircraft: the length of the aircraft is 15.96 meters, the wingspan is 10.95 meters, the height of the aircraft is 5.28 meters, the wing area is 51.2 square meters, and the empty weight is 11,150 kilograms. Maximum take-off weight 16000 kg.
Compared with this more beautiful fighter designed by Yang Weiping, the BAE verification aircraft is simply an ugly duckling compared to a white swan!
Yang Weiping casually threw the drawing pen onto the drawing tablet. He shook his head indifferently and said: "This F22 was originally a verification machine that we are about to start building, and the aerodynamic layout has been demonstrated in professional wind tunnel testing computer software, but it has not yet had time to conduct actual wind tunnel testing. If it weren't for your Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's repeated requests, I wouldn't have put the design of this verifier out for use in the EFA program. ”
Professor Hook didn't bother with whether there was some secret agreement between OUCC and the United Kingdom, which is why Yang Weiping was so generous in contributing to the design of such a classic model that seemed to be very good. He asked very seriously: "Yuan Shou Yang, according to the design requirements of this F22 you designed, the F22 definitely needs to install two engines with very powerful thrust and thrust-to-weight ratio to meet the requirements, do you plan to let this F22 use the WS15 engine of the Eastern Union?"
Yang Weiping shook his head without hesitation and replied: "Europe needs a fourth-generation advanced military turbofan that belongs to Europeans! This is another topic that I will continue to discuss with you next." Therefore, the new EFA plan first had to redesign and develop a twin-rotor afterburner turbofan engine with a small bypass ratio for the F22.
In order to meet the requirements of the European fourth-generation advanced tactical fighter to achieve supersonic cruise, stealth, long-range combat and short take-off and landing capabilities. We use the fan/compressor/turbine three-dimensional computational fluid design technology that OUCC is using and has matured, namely the fan wide chord without shoulder blades, compressor wide chord high load rotor blades, fan/compressor bow stator blades, turbine high load rotor blades, integral blisk structure rotor and floating wall combustion chamber and other advanced structures. New materials such as high-strength flame-retardant titanium alloys and single crystal materials required for compressor stators, afterburner combustion chambers and nozzles can be purchased directly from OOCC. ”
As Europe's top aviation power expert, Professor Hook listened to Yang Weiping's remarks, and immediately came up with a structural sketch of an advanced fourth-generation fighter engine with the characteristics of high thrust-to-weight ratio, small bypass ratio, high turbine inlet temperature, and high throttle ratio.
