Chapter 381: New Pit

Britain and France, the five hooligans who have gradually declined, there is no need for them to maintain a huge aero engine industry, and it is fortunate that they can support a medium-sized company in China.

However, if it is a big country such as China, the United States and Russia, in the face of huge market demand, it is necessary to ensure that there is a certain amount of domestic competition at this time.

Don't say anything, Russia later only maintained a big push model of the AL-31F engine, and those who really know know that Russia has also issued two branches on the basis of the AL-31F engine.

Salyut has developed the 99M1/2/3 series on the basis of the 31F, while the Saturn-Rurika has taken the 117S engine route, in essence, the two companies have completely different technical routes, and the two companies have been competing within Russia in the competition for a new generation of aero engines.

As for the United States, the competition between GM and Pratt & Whitney has been well known to the world, and the two have even shifted from the United States to the global competition, which is why the United States and Russia continue to emerge excellent products in the field of aero engines.

Now the domestic status quo is very good, Southwest Motor has entered the domestic aero engine manufacturing industry with a new attitude, reintegrated the Oriental Power Plant Equipment Company, and become the leading turbine power machinery giant in China, gradually gaining a firm foothold in China.

After the completion of the integration of United Power Energy Group, it will be able to burst out of strong market competitiveness, and the central government departments may choose to integrate the remaining aero-engine units of the aviation system and set up another giant to fight with United Power Energy.

However, it seems that there is no sign of this at present, and United Power Energy Group can continue to accumulate technological advantages by virtue of its leading institutional advantages.

"We must agree in principle with the proposal of the South African side, and there will not be too many technical difficulties in overhauling the line, and it can be completely solved with the domestic technical level alone. ”

Comrade Lao Wang is still very clear about the domestic industrial level, to say that it is completely not dependent on imported equipment to make a brand new Qingcheng engine production line, this is of course impossible, but if it is only a major repair line, it is still feasible after picking up.

"That's what I said about South Africa, so on the issue of Qingcheng high-thrust turbofan engine, we can temporarily rest assured that as long as the finished engine can be delivered on time this time, this requirement must not put any pressure on the company, right?"

At this time, if Wang Zhengguo continues to make loose orders, I am afraid that it will be a little unspeakable.

After talking about the Qingcheng engine overhaul line, it is obvious that the South African side cannot just forget it, the gap between the overhaul line and the production line is not small, what is the funding gap in the middle to fill, is it to use the engine to resist?

Soon, Wang Zhengguo got the idea of South Africa from Lao Wang's side.

"Then there is the second demand from South Africa in terms of aero engines, they said that they used to give money according to the full set of Qingcheng engine production lines, and now the requirements are reduced to the overhaul line, so the southwest motor side will provide a turboshaft 6 engine production line, and the performance must reach the Tummer 3C level. ”

Previously, after Southwest Motor took over the domestic production task of the turboshaft 6 engine of Lanxiang Factory, it immediately applied for a follow-up export license for the engine, and immediately notified the South African side that Southwest Motor could stably provide "Turbo 3C" engines in the future.

It seems that the South African side is not stupid, and directly guessed that Southwest Motive was copying this engine, and they naturally wanted to put forward the production line demand.

Different from the high-end technology required by the third-generation high-thrust military turbofan engine, the second-generation small turboshaft engine of the Transmo 3C is much simpler in terms of production.

Then let's talk about the demand of South Africa itself, first of all, where is the order demand for the Tea Falcon gunship, and South Africa also retains a large number of Cougar helicopters, both of which are typical twin-engine designs, and the future demand for "Turbo 3C" engines is definitely not small.

The introduction of a Qingcheng engine production line requires a large amount of supporting work, but the related capacity demand does not add up much, so this is completely a loss-making transaction.

In another direction, if the introduction of the "Turbo 3C" engine production line, the supporting work is actually very easy to do, and South Africa's own market demand is there, which will definitely not lose money, and it is possible to make money if it is done well.

I have to admit that no one in this world is a fool, as long as you understand the input and output, even if you want to make a stupid move, it is impossible.

"That's okay, our Turbo 3C engine imitation work is very smooth, all the original Turbo 3C engine production design data, has entered the engine assembly stage, is expected to be ignited in February next year, and then take another year to fly the envelope, this is the domestic military named engine model, so the company mobilized a lot of manpower to promote the project, very fast. ”

Although it is not clear where Wang Zhengguo's so-called original information came from, as long as he can have confidence here, it is also very good, there is no problem with the engine, and all the tasks of his return to China this time will be completed.

"That's good, I will go back and supervise the multi-purpose No. 10 with Qingcheng engine in South Africa to fly into the sky, maybe I will have to find a chance to return to China to enjoy my old age in the next two years, and I have no regrets in my life." ”

Counting from the time when he worked in the 601 Institute, and then led the team to transfer to the 611 Institute, he has been working the canard pneumatic fighter all his life, and now he can finally see the results, what else can he regret.

Although South Africa is good, but it is only abroad after all, at his current age, it is best to return to China, and it is best to spend his old age in peace with the same group of old guys, and now the situation in South Africa seems to be faintly showing some signs of instability, and it is best to get out as soon as possible.

In fact, the whole project has reached this point, and most of the tasks have been handed over to young people to do, and he is just an old man who sits in the Chinese army and stabilizes people's hearts.

"Dad, I'm afraid it's not good, the recent military in the gunship project has made a lot of noise, I previously introduced to the army aviation that South Africa has a tea falcon project, so the military is likely to choose to cooperate with South Africa, after all, we have in our hands the same Turbo 3C engine technology that South Africa now also needs. ”

Using the Turbo 3C engine as a bargaining chip, South Africa is required to sell the design data of the Shicha Falcon armed helicopter at a reasonable price, and then make some domestic modifications according to its original design, and the aircraft will definitely be able to enter service on a large scale before 95 years.

As long as the engine is not stuck, the problem of producing armed helicopters will not be too big, and the army aviation will probably only need to have two engine maintenance capabilities to ensure the power demand of the straight 9, straight 8, and new Wuzhi, and the turboshaft 6 engine position will be more stable at that time.
