Wang Shaojun released his right hand and let it go, testing the throttle, and the engine behind him let out a low roar, accompanied by the thick smell of gasoline, which filled his nose. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The same crossarm handles, the same engine sound, the same gasoline smell, the same pedal feel, the narrow fuselage, if the seat belt held him firmly in the seat, Wang Shaojun almost thought he was on a familiar 750 heavy military motorcycle.

After retracting the throttle several times and getting familiar with the feeling, as soon as he released the brakes, the huge forward momentum formed by the 120-horsepower piston supercharged engine immediately rushed out with the two-seat bulletproof gyroplane.

The concrete pavement retreats rapidly underground.

Through the speedometer on the panel, you can see that the speed is climbing rapidly, jumping from zero to 30 kilometers, 50 kilometers, and 70 kilometers in just one or two seconds, and the speed is still accelerating.

The control program adjusts the tail through the processor, so that although the gyroplane is accelerating, the fuselage remains stable and does not roll.

With this set of automatic driving assistance equipment, even beginners can smoothly master the driving tricks and take to the skies.

The 12-horsepower engine accelerates the gyroplane to more than 70 kilometers in an instant, the blades overhead rotate rapidly, and the thin swept wing-shaped wingtips cut through the air like sharp blades, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air. The main propeller that rotated at high speed formed an upward boost, and Wang Shaojun didn't feel anything, and the rapidly rotating propeller slowly left the ground with the gyrocopter and flew up.

It's easy!

Wang Shaojun only studied for one afternoon, and he didn't expect to fly so easily, which is no different from riding a motorcycle. He didn't think about it so much, thinking that this was the flight characteristics of the gyroplane, he happily glanced down, watched the ground get farther and farther away from him, and excitedly shouted at the comrades below.

When he was on the ground, he would not do such a frivolous behavior, but when the gyroplane flew into the air, he felt as if his body had become lighter, and the pent-up emotions in his heart were unconsciously released, and he couldn't help but whistle at the other comrades.

Although the oncoming wind blocked the whistle and made no sound, he laughed like a child.

"I only skied less than 70 meters, this is still heavier!"

On the ground, he put up a pergola and looked at the delegation in the sky, and watched the rotorcraft take off after only a dozen meters along the cement road, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

Although there is only one person sitting on it, it is too easy, you must know that with the engine and transmission mechanism, plus bulletproof plates and oil, the entire rotorcraft weighs 210 kilograms. One more Wang Shaojun sits, and the total weight is almost two hundred and eighty kilograms.

The members of the delegation carefully watched the rotorcraft in the sky, and from the ground, the narrow fuselage looked like a knife. When it was facing the crowd, the target was shrunk into a line except for the slightly wide tail part, and it was really not easy to hit it if there were no guided weapons.

If the engine power of the gyroplane is increased a little more and the structure is strengthened a little more, then is it possible to add anti-tank missiles to it?

Choosing in front of the two opponents of the United States and the Soviet Union, China would rather choose the United States.

Without it, the distance factor. The United States is far away, and the Soviet Union is next door, and if you want to say that you are not afraid of its steel torrent, you don't believe it.

Therefore, as soon as the members of the delegation saw the performance of the rotorcraft, they were surprised and involuntarily turned to the idea of whether they could deal with the enemy tanks.

Some technical experts have already begun to calculate according to the design formula of the rotorcraft.

But after all the calculations, everyone unanimously dispelled this idea.

Can't do it!

To redesign, transform and strengthen the rotorcraft, the final cost is estimated to reach hundreds of thousands. At the same time, due to the strengthening of the structure, the dead weight will also increase sharply, the payload will be reduced, and the weapons that can be carried are far from meeting the needs.

Sure enough, it's chicken ribs.

Let's say it's useless, it still looks like that, and it should still be somewhat useful. However, it is very difficult to say that it is useful, and it cannot be compared with a special helicopter, and it cannot be compared with a single anti-tank weapon.

The comrades of the delegation looked at each other and shook their heads.

Guan Fei saw their regret, but pretended not to know, and asked with a smile: "You guys help us with our staff, what do you think of this flying platform?" ”

Let's Staff?

Everyone blinked, some of them didn't know how to answer.

Whether something is good or not should be judged by you based on your own combat requirements and objectives, we definitely don't like it, you let us staff officers, how should we say this?

Minister Xia Zhongyuan hesitated, he was not very optimistic about this kind of flying platform. But everyone else is not easy to speak, as the leader, he naturally can't pretend to be deaf and dumb, and when Guan Fei asks his head, he can only hurriedly think about the wording in his head, and said politely: "The rotorcraft is still a good flight platform, and the adaptability in complex weather situations seems to be a little insufficient." However, in the case of complex terrain, the transfer and infiltration of troops in small quantities over short distances should still be very effective. ”

He had a very good eye, although it was the first time he had seen this thing, and after an afternoon of learning about it, he quickly saw the scope of its use and its defects, which was fair. There is neither exaggeration, undesirable praise, nor excessive belittlement of its role.

In fact, as a weapon for short-range small unit infiltration operations, he is very optimistic.

If there is no shortage of money in the country, it doesn't hurt to buy a few.

The problem is that the domestic opponents are either behemoths such as the United States and the Soviet Union, or they are on the other side of the sea, or they are small countries such as Vietnam and Dining. Gyroplanes are useless against large countries with strong air defense, and they are useless against small countries, and the existing means are enough to knock the opponent down several times.

The rotorcraft is a flying platform that is not high or low, and it is really difficult to position it.

Guan Fei smiled, the other party spoke quite kindly, and he said: "If you change it with a five-seater type, how about it as a vehicle to deliver a small amount of supply ammunition to the front line in an emergency?" ”

Xia Zhongyuan's heart moved.

Guan Fei's words are on his heart.

After the self-defense counterattack, the troops retreated to the position where the attack was launched, thinking that it was time for the other side to learn a lesson. However, in the propaganda, the other side boasted that the domestic retreat was a big victory, and then intensified its efforts to build permanent fortifications on the border, as if it was not convinced and wanted to do it again.

The two sides have you occupying a hill and I occupying a hill, and the positions are staggered, and some of the lines of communication behind the garrisoned hills are in areas that can be attacked by enemy artillery. Rear supply personnel are often forced to go back and forth on this death route in order to deliver ammunition, food, and even water to the front line, directly exposed to enemy fire, which is quite dangerous.

If a batch of rotorcraft is equipped, a small amount of several hundred kilograms of supplies can be transported to the front-line troops, which is a good way to deal with emergencies.

Xia Zhongyuan was about to speak, and suddenly laughed.

"Comrade Guan Fei, I found that you look very much like an arms broker! When you took us to see this gyroplane, I'm afraid you were going to sell it to us, right? He suddenly figured out Guan Fei's purpose, and he was not in a hurry for a while, holding his hands and looking at each other with a smile.

Guan Fei was not ashamed at all when he said his thoughts, but smiled loudly: "Hahahaha!" Did you see it? But I don't want to sell this kind of flying platform to you, I hope to sell it to more places through the domestic network? ”

"Sell to more?" Xia Zhongyuan couldn't imagine that Guan Fei had such a big appetite.

He also thought that Guan Fei was just thinking about taking a few dollars from the pockets of the domestic military to spend, who would have thought that he would not look down on the little money in China at all. His eyes were on the wider world, and he actually wanted to sell the rotorcraft to other countries through domestic channels.

"I'm afraid this plane is not easy to sell!" Knowing Guan Fei's thoughts, the other comrades of the delegation were anxious, and a comrade from the Fifth Aircraft Department was afraid that Xia Zhongyuan would agree, and after it was really sold, it would ruin the reputation of domestic weapons because it would not be good to use, so he quickly interjected and said honestly, "To be honest, the scope of application of gyroplanes is still too narrow. You say it can be transported, it can be on the ground, it looks like everything, but everything is very loose: loaded, not much; Fly, fly not far; On the ground, the attack firepower is weak. Commander Guan, in fact, this kind of flying platform developed by you has been available abroad for decades, but it has not been developed because it is of little use. I think it's hard to sell it! ”

Although the others did not speak, they looked at their expressions and completely agreed with him.

Xia Zhongyuan had him interject to avoid the embarrassment of refusing in person, and he was also relieved in his heart, so he simply pretended to be deaf and dumb and acted as a spectator.

Hearing him belittle the role of the rotorcraft, several technicians in the Northern Theater were unhappy and were about to open their mouths to refute, but they were stopped by Guan Fei.

Guan Fei was not angry at all, but still said with a smile: "What you said is correct. If they want to sell it as a weapon platform to military powers such as the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom, they will definitely not look down on it. But let's change our thinking, for example, how about transforming it into a civil light aircraft and selling it to ordinary aviation enthusiasts? Or what about selling the two-seater ballistic version to the small countries in Africa?

For aviation enthusiasts, it's an easy-to-use flying machine that folds up the blades and comes to the garage when not in use. When they go out to play, they can take it away by strapping it on a small family trailer, and when they get to their destination, they can take off on the grass with paddles and meet their air flying fun.

For the advertising industry, gyroplanes do not need a special runway, and only need tens or even tens of meters to take off. Then carry dozens or hundreds of kilograms of photographic equipment in the air for aerial photography, and have a few hours of idle time, which can fully meet the needs of advertising shooting.

In addition to advertisers, film companies, photography enthusiasts, water conservancy departments, urban planning departments, geological prospectors, traffic inspectors, border patrols, ecological research, search and rescue ......, you see, I just said casually, there are so many departments that can be potential customers.

Another example is some small countries in Africa and South America, most of their combat targets are backward tribal armed forces, how can they afford advanced aircraft. In many places, government forces could not even afford tanks, so they simply loaded pickup trucks with machine guns and used them as weapon platforms.

They certainly can't afford expensive specialized helicopter gunships, or they can't even afford to spend **********. But they also need air strike forces to gain combat superiority, so can they buy a batch of armored rotorcraft? ”

Listening to him talk about so many potential buyers in one breath, Xia Zhongyuan and other members of the delegation organized by the General Staff couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Although they didn't think about it deeply, Guan Fei seemed to have a lot of sense.

Although the rotorcraft is a flying platform that is looked down upon by large countries, it is really a good weapon for some poor and small countries. In particular, the two-seat bulletproof type, put in the eyes of those small countries in Africa, with a machine gun on the side, can almost be used as a special helicopter gunship.

And the border patrol that Guan Fei said just now moved them.

This function is not to mention those small countries, even in China, there is a need for a cheap and easy to operate, simple and reliable fast transportation.

Xia Zhongyuan looked at the others, then looked at Guan Fei's smiling appearance, thought for a moment, and asked, "Since it is so easy to sell, why do you want to involve us instead of selling it yourself?" ”

Guan Fei spread his hands regretfully: "Who told us that we haven't become a powerful political force yet!" Who believes us? As for the civilian market, Europe and the United States' own aircraft manufacturing companies are still rushing to break the bloodstream, why let us go in and get a piece of the pie, maybe we can't even get the airworthiness certificate? On the contrary, at home, the United States showed great goodwill because it needed to co-opt us to deal with the Soviet threat. Although they are still unhappy about entering the US market in the name of China, they can at least carry out their business without being maliciously harassed. I don't have a lot of requirements, and I can sell a few hundred units a year. ”

Xia Zhongyuan heard the helplessness in Guan Fei's words, the more he relied on China, the more relieved he was in China, and he couldn't help but feel relieved, and asked, "Then how much do you plan to sell this gyroplane?" ”

"$110,000 for a two-seater who doesn't have bulletproof, $280,000 for a five-seater! 300,000 bulletproof type! Guan Fei's smile remained unchanged, like the kindest salesman, quoting a heart-warming price.

"What? So cheap? ”

Xia Zhongyuan and the rest of the delegation heard this, and exclaimed at the same time.

This price even makes them feel impressed!

Guan Fei added with a smile: "This price is also given to China, and only the unit of pricing needs to be directly converted from US dollars to RMB!" ”

"What!"

Xia Zhongyuan and the others exclaimed again, their voices so loud that they seemed to be shouting at the throat.
