Contrary to the fact that Spey 202 aircraft has stopped localization, Spey Airlines' refueling project is still in full swing, not only the 430 factory is seizing the time and opportunity to make design plans, and even other units are also preparing to take the tiger's mouth.

After all, he had feelings for the Spey project, and even though the 202 aircraft had been dismounted, Chief Engineer Wu still paid attention to the aviation refueling project.

"That's right, the current 430 factory probably can't get enough manpower to make aviation aircraft, you may not know, now this factory has been ready to change its name to "Chang'an Gas Turbine Factory", the previous "Chang'an Aero Engine Factory" is not going to want, you still think they will draw people out of the aviation refueling project. ”

As a veteran aero engine factory, 430 didn't expect that because of the Spey Aviation refueling project, it would be replaced by a gas turbine factory.

But fortunately, since people are more interested in gas turbines, Wang Zhengguo is also happy: "Well, anyway, we are about to invest in a new aero engine company, and the aero engine supporting around Shudu has always been very good, but it is just a lack of good projects and financial guidance." ”

The supporting capacity of aero engines around Shudu is indeed okay, and even Wu Daguan Chief Engineer is also very recognized, as for investing in a new aero engine company, in his mind, this should be a foreign requirement.

"Let me say this, this time the ministry has decided to buy TF-41 related materials, in the afternoon you can go to Minister Mo to talk about this matter, as long as you insist that it is to make an aircraft, do not touch the aviation refueling project, at present, the chance of passing the audit is very large. ”

This is very straightforward, it can be regarded as a comprehensive confession, but when it comes to this can't touch the aviation refueling project, Wang Zhengguo feels a little strange, it is obvious that this time Spey's aviation refueling plan is not as simple as it seems.

"Now that the Spey Air refueling project has been decided, are there any variables?"

It's been a long time since anyone came to talk together, and Chief Engineer Wu felt that there was nothing he couldn't say: "The situation is a little complicated, now not only is the 430 factory doing the sailing and refueling project, but also the China Shipbuilding Corporation is also doing relevant research and development, the project is responsible for the 703 Institute, the competition between the two sides is very fierce, and the ministry definitely does not want to make another disturbance." ”

It is another piece of inside information, which is very different from the news that Wang Zhengguo knew about the Spey Aviation refueling project before, and he always thought that this refueling was done by the 430 factory, but he never expected that CSSC 703 was also involved.

"703 Institute? Do they have Spey's information, and the state designates that the localization of Spey is responsible for the 430 factory, and a lot of equipment and materials are unique in 430, so there shouldn't be much competition. ”

Regarding the aviation to fuel project, in the final analysis, it is necessary to use the core engine of Spey 202, that is, the so-called gas generator, and the production technology and equipment of this thing are absolutely impossible in the 703 Institute, so how can the other party compete?

Anyway, Wang Zhengguo doesn't believe that the 703 Institute can still make this gas turbine, unless it ......

"Who said that the 703 Institute can not participate in the competition, now the two aviation refueling design plans are the 430 factory design institute and the 703 competition, similar to the previous competition between your Shudu Institute and the 123 factory design institute J-73 project, the current competition is only at the design level, no matter which plan wins, the production is still handed over to the 430 factory. ”

After listening to this explanation, I feel that it is indeed very interesting, if it is really developed according to the current situation, suddenly some can understand the reason why the last Noodle 430 factory "pirated" the QC-280 gas turbine, it is really because these units have been unclear between them!

In this way, the current plan for the refueling of Spey Airlines is really a muddy water that cannot be easily entered, and I still honestly do a good job of the TF-41 aircraft first, anyway, I can't figure out the refueling of Spey Airlines for a while.

It is better to completely understand the Spey series through the aircraft first, and only by laying a solid foundation can we have the opportunity to kill it at a critical moment and completely refuel Spey Airlines.

Thinking about it, just with the current 430 factory and 703 institutes, they haven't even eaten the aircraft, and I'm afraid it's even more difficult to say that this flight will be refueled.

"Mr. Wu, when we win the TF-41 domestic project, I'm afraid you still need to personally go out to preside over the localization, and I hope you don't shirk it, at present, the whole country, that is, you have the most experience in this area, I can't find a second person who can be responsible for the project." ”

Since it is decided to mainly make this TF-41 afterburner project, the 430 factory design institute has nothing to hope for, and at most it can outsource the production of some parts and components, which can be regarded as effectively reducing pressure and optimizing resource utilization.

"Of course this can be, it just so happens that I have re-reflected a lot in the imperial capital, some ideas need to be verified by practice, as long as you set the project, the funds, the design team, and the final assembly plant are in place, I can be responsible for this project." ”

The promise was very refreshing, mainly because I felt that the use of TF-41 was obviously greater than that of Spey 202, and then I saw that Wang Nanshou, who was also transferred to the imperial capital for retirement, had re-emerged, why couldn't he?

.......

Around the Spey project, at this time I found out that it was really a panacea, since there are not many Wang Zhengguo, then bravely devote himself to the aero engine business.

In the afternoon, I met Minister Mo of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, a bigwig who has been in charge of the banner of the aviation industry of the Republic for decades, and has more than ten years of career in the future.

After listening to the report on the TF-41 project, it is obvious that he also has a unique idea: "I think there is no problem, you can use foreign investment to make aero engines, which is a good thing after all, and the ministry will definitely support it." As for the problem of R&D units and talents, it is not impossible to solve. ”

As soon as he spoke, he rummaged through the document basket on the table: "Yes, you can take a look at the information of the 420 Factory Design Institute, which is also located in Shudu, the design institute has no projects in the past two years, if you think you can, you can choose to cooperate with this unit." ”

The most difficult time for the 420 factory was in that time period, there is no doubt that it had to be the special transition time point of 83, and the factory order was only the shrinking turbojet 6 engine, which was production, and it was still a bit of work, and it could stand up.

But for the factory-affiliated design office, it is really not true, there is no project to do, the whole team is in a state of idleness, and a design institute without a project is obviously not sustainable.

Is the 420 factory really a good match? Obviously this is not the case, there are too many problems with this kind of large unit, too many to count, but the design department of this unit is still very attractive.

"Of course we know about Plant 420, and we have heard that their design department has not had a project for a long time, and if the department thinks it is feasible, I hope that these designers can be transferred to our newly established aero engine company. By taking this opportunity, the ministry can take a stake in the new company. ”

In the plan, this new aero-engine company cannot be completely controlled by the fund, whether it is for the sake of face engineering or simply to appease the Ministry of Aviation Industry, multiple shareholding is inevitable.

The Ministry of Aviation Industry is just the beginning, and the follow-up Air Force will also be wooed, if possible, it is best to bring Rolls-Royce into one leg, which is called holding the foreign to self-respect!
