Since I didn't plan to really introduce the RM-8 engine, it was just Wang Zhengguo, a guy who didn't have a half-baked professional level, to play by himself, and after a week, he was stunned that there was no actual progress with Volvo Aerospace. ~with~dream~small~say~щ~suimеng~lā

On the other side, Chief Engineer Wu Daguan also continued to fight, and China and Britain had a detailed discussion on the upgrading and improvement of the TF-41 engine, from the technical scheme to the risk control, to the final capital investment, the project progress is like a scramjet engine behind the push.

"Old friend, about the TF-41 to military high-thrust afterburner turbofan engine, this is a big project that both of us are very willing to promote, I can no matter which aircraft you plan to use it to assemble, now I only hope to be able to revitalize the Spey project department. ”

Joe Dam, who is already in his fifties, was directly involved in the development of the original Spey MK511 engine when he first joined the work, and then experienced a number of projects such as Spey MK505/555 and gradually showed his talent, and became the chief designer of the project when he arrived at MK202, and then the TF-41 project, all his youth and talent were dedicated to the Spey project department.

Now, seeing with his own eyes the Spey project department in his hands is gradually declining, as the head of the project department, he must do whatever it takes to achieve the revitalization of the department, which is his life's work. In a sense, this is the same as the attachment of the old employees of the state-owned enterprises of the Republic to the unit, which is a witness of time and hard work.

"I know you also contacted Volvo Aerospace's RM-8 engine, which I know very well that with a 600-hour overhaul life, a bypass ratio of 1 and a thrust-to-weight ratio of 5.5, it has no possibility of being converted into a new generation of high-thrust afterburner turbofan engines. Even if you're touching this engine, it won't bother me in any way. ”

It is also mixed in the European aero engine industry, what is the level of Volvo Aerospace's RM-8 engine, and it is impossible to say that I don't know, if the RM-8 engine is really reliable and has potential, why didn't Pratt & Whitney take this engine back to the United States?

The A-7 attack aircraft equipped with the TF-41, the engine used by this aircraft earlier was the Pratt & Whitney TF-30, why didn't Pratt & Whitney use the RM-8?

The reason is that people are not stupid!

"We won't say much else, in terms of funding, according to the 230 million pounds just mentioned, I can make the decision to let you arrange for three people to participate in the whole research and development of the project, which was absolutely impossible in the past. ”

In order to be able to negotiate the project quickly, Dam does not want to continue the tug-of-war, and the Spey project team urgently needs a project to stabilize the already precarious scientific research team, even if he drinks to quench his thirst now, he can't manage so much.

One thing is to be assured that there will be no more suspense in the whole meeting, as long as the conditions are agreed to accept three Republican technicians to participate in the entire project.

The situation was obviously the same as he thought, and when he heard that three Republic technicians could be involved in the development of the project, Wu Daguan, as the chief engineer of the Chinese project, could not suppress his excitement.

What does it mean to be able to send someone to participate in the development of the engine from start to finish?

It means that the whole process of Rolls-Royce's aero engine development can be directly seen through this project, which is the core technology of an aero engine company, which has always been strictly kept secret to the outside world.

Previously, Rolls-Royce could sell the full set of technical information on the Spey 202 and also direct the factory to produce it, but it was absolutely impossible for the Republic to know how this engine was developed.

I'm afraid that there is only a chance in this special period, and Wu Daguan is very sure that this condition is absolutely impossible to report to the senior management of Rolls-Royce, it must be a secret decision made by the Spey project department, it seems that this time it is really a great opportunity.

"Five, for five, I can call the shots to increase the project funding to £240 million, and as long as we agree to this request and have our technicians involved in the whole project development plan, we can sign a contract of intent immediately. ”

It would cost an extra £10 million to send two more people, which means that each place is worth £5 million, and when you think about the price, it's really heart-wrenching.

"Four, up to four people can be accepted, this matter needs to be hidden from the company's top management, so there can't be many people, and you people can only appear as a project progress inspector team, as long as they are in the bass R&D department, I can guarantee that they can have the opportunity to learn the corresponding technology." ”

Even if it is to quench his thirst, he is determined to drink it this time, not to mention that this military turbofan is a product line supplement for Rolls-Royce, just talking about the installed market of this engine, Dam now has a plan.

The Republic uses South Africa's money to develop a large military turbofan, and the Rolls-Rodis-Spey Project Department can of course also do the same, not to mention that according to Dam's estimate, the development of this engine will be completed at most, which is at most 130 million pounds, and the remaining money can be used by the Spey Project Department to develop a real Spey core machine replacement model.

Although there are not many people, they are barely acceptable: "Okay, we sent four people to participate in the development of the big push engine, but you need to assist in completing the implementation of the British aero engine military standard in our designated units, and by the way, we also need a set of high-altitude platform test operation specifications." ”

If talent is the core requirement, then Rolls-Royce has implemented the British standard for many years is the ultimate measure to ensure the reliability of an engine.

As for the operation specification of the high-altitude platform, this is the requirement that Chief Engineer Wu Daguan himself increased according to the situation after Wang Zhengguo said the large-scale integration plan for Shudu aero engine capacity.

If you want to integrate the aero engine industry around Shudu, he is by no means so easy to get it done, 5701/5719 is easy to say, 420 can barely be done, but the important 624 Institute is not so easy, it is all willing to do scientific research in the mountainous area, can impress them, think about it is only this set of British high-altitude platform operation specifications.

"Yes, we should establish a military standard system, as for the operation specifications of the high-altitude platform, this thing is owned by the company's engine testing department, and our Spey project department only has the relevant information for the test below 150kg of air flow per second, and no more. ”

The core issue has reached an intention, and the follow-up negotiations will be much easier, and after the signing of the intention cooperation plan, the talks between the two sides do not have to be carried out under the "witness" of the Ministry of Aviation Industry.

Seeing that the RB-199 negotiations next door were still arguing in various ways, the two old men smiled at each other and strode away, they needed to go back to their own work next.

Dahm needs to go back to the UK to gather relevant personnel to start the preliminary preparation of the project, including personnel mobilization, software and hardware preparation, and Chief Engineer Wu needs to quickly prepare for the selection of suitable technical personnel, and the importance of this issue can definitely be ranked first at present.

When the news reached Wang Zhengguo's ears, even someone himself was shocked by this extremely generous condition, it seems that Rolls-Royce's company is not monolithic, and the gap between the rich and the poor is a bit big!

In this way, it is no wonder that the Spey project department sold the company's core technology.

Maybe you can take the opportunity to do a good job, and maybe there will be more gains in the future, as for the four places this time, that's .....

Since the ministry agreed to inject the research institute of the 420 factory into the new aero engine company, Wang Zhengguo did not mind pulling the leader of the Left League, who had only gone astray at this time, back to the right path.
