In the Soviet Union, there has always been a tradition of naming design bureaus after their chief engineers, and many design bureaus have come this way, with the difference that some design bureaus are named after the two chief engineers.

The full name of the famous MiG Design Bureau is Mikoyan. Grevich, this is the well-known example of the naming of the design bureau by two chief engineers.

In the same way, there is another design bureau in the field of the aviation industry, which is Ivchenko. Lotarev Design Bureau.

Academician Ivchenko was the well-deserved leader, founder and chief designer of the design bureau, who returned to Zaporozhye with a team of people after World War II and re-established the 478 Design Bureau on the ruins of World War II.

From then on, most people called the 478 Design Bureau by the name of Academician Ivchenko, the head of the design bureau, until the retirement of Chief Ivchenko in 63.

In the prime of life, Lotarev was appointed chief designer of the 478 Design Bureau and head of the administration of the design bureau, which was the same personnel structure as the domestic research institute.

Since then, the 478 Design Bureau has added the name of Lotarev to the end of Ivchenko's name, which has been renamed: Ivchenko. The Lotarev Design Bureau, so there is nothing wrong with calling it the Ilo Design Bureau for short.

Of course, more often people used to call it the Ivchenko Design Bureau, and even after Lotarev became chief engineer, people still called it that.

However, this time Rybnov wanted to take Yang Hui to meet neither Evchenko nor Lotarev, because Lotarev, who was close to eighty years old in his seventies, was no longer suitable to continue to advance in the tie design bureau after completing the D18T.

Muravchenko, who took office just last year, is the current chief engineer of the design bureau, taking over the design bureau, which has been declining due to state reasons.

To this end, he led a team to participate in the Paris Air Show last year, trying to sell the products of the design bureau to the outside world, or to enlist foreign support to complete the design of AI22.

This time, I heard that the power system subcontractor of 145, Embra Hangfa, was interested in the design bureau's products, so it was natural that he deliberately sent one of his most optimistic technical talents very early. It was also the deputy chief teacher Rebnov, who was deliberately trained by himself, who went to receive it.

Muravchenko himself did not wait in the office, and as for the technicians who were basking in the sun outside, this seemed to Muravchenko to be helpless, and there was not enough money to allocate it. The design bureau will never be able to continue its work.

After his predecessor, Chief Engineer Lotarev, completed the finalization of the D18T engine, the Ivchenko Design Bureau fell into a de facto absence of projects to do.

In the eyes of the current Soviet Union, there is no need for a turbofan engine with a larger thrust, and it is actually difficult to make a breakthrough in technology in a short period of time.

Considering that the AI22 engine, which is being developed, will not be of much help to the Soviet military industry. This is just a large-channel and small-thrust civilian turbofan used as a regional jet airliner and business jet.

Such a thing can be compared with the huge military industrial project of the Soviet Union in terms of priority, and the military industrial project is still not scrupulous, not to mention the current little guy who has no sense of zài?

In this case, it is strange that the Ivchenko Design Bureau can have a good life, and after the entire AI22 project has done part of the preliminary development, the progress of scientific research has slowed down indefinitely due to funding problems.

It was only after the collapse of the Soviet Union that the Ivchenko Design Bureau was able to let go of its hands and ask for model production authorization fees from the engine production unit, which allowed the Ivchenko Design Bureau to survive.

In other words, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Ivchenko Design Bureau was slowly revived, only now, because it was no longer restrained.

The Ivchenko Design Bureau was still in its prime. There is no state appropriation, and there is no licensing fee from the factory that produces engines designed by its own design bureau, and there is no difference between the life and the domestic third-tier military industrial units in the early 80 years of the Republic.

After Rybnov took Yang Hui into the office, the middle-aged Soviet uncle came over enthusiastically, quite attentively.

"Hello, it's Deputy Chief Designer Yang, right? I'm Feodro? Muravchenko, the current chief engineer of the design bureau and the chief designer of AI22, discussed the matter of providing a power system for the 145. ”

Looking at this Muravchenko, who claims to be the head of the current Ivchenko Design Bureau. Yang Hui can remember some of the deeds of this man, who served as the chief engineer of the Ivchenko Design Bureau for 21 years.

He not only pulled the design bureau out of the context of the collapse of the Soviet Union and completed the transition smoothly, but also completed the development of the AI22 engine.

The AI222-25 developed later is also a pretty good military engine. Even the D27, the world's only fan engine, has been successfully developed.

All in all, this is definitely a very capable chief engineer, who can survive with the design bureau in such an environment and complete scientific research projects, which alone is enough to win Yang Hui's respect.

"Hello, I am Yang Zheng, the technical director of the United Aero Engine Company under the Southwest Science and Industry of the Republic of China, in Embraer Engine Company. At the same time, he is also the deputy chief designer of Embraer Engine Company, and this time he came to inspect the AI22 engine, hoping that we can have good results. ”

With a new identity, Yang Hui has a new name, Yang Zheng, which sounds pretty good.

At this time, Yang Hui has also been working for nearly ten years, and the age of 30 years old and the old clothes have always been old, and the long-term work environment has been affected.

I don't have the feeling of being too young and hairless on my mouth for a long time, and this position is not too eye-catching, and it doesn't look too shocking.

After introducing themselves to each other, the other members of the entourage also introduced their new identities, all tailor-made for the operation.

"Hello, Mr. Yang Zheng, your young and promising people seem to let me see the year when Lotarev was the chief designer, and he also became the chief designer at your age."

It's really embarrassing to compare Yang Hui with the great god of Lotarev, this is the originator of the Soviet Union's big letter Daobi turbofan engine, and D18T is also an artifact comparable to RB211 at this time, it really can't be compared!

Of course, this can also be seen from the side that Muravchenko attaches great importance to Yang Hui and his party this time, as the chief engineer of the first-line aero engine design bureau of the Soviet Union, the only super empire in the world, can compliment Yang Hui as a young junior, which in itself has explained a lot of problems.

"Thank you, I have great admiration for Master Lotarev, but my current achievements are far from being comparable to him, and I just hope that I will have the opportunity to visit him this time, and I am very happy."

Visiting Lotarev is one of the important tasks of Yang Hui's trip to the Ivchenko Design Bureau, and if you can talk about this old gentleman, many things can be much simpler.

Therefore, it is really good to use this time to make a request.

It just so happened that Muravchenko agreed: "Yes, Chief Commander Lotarev lives in the villa area next to the Design Bureau, you know that Ukraine is the lowest latitude in the entire Soviet Union, the most suitable place to live, if necessary, you can ask Rybnov to take you to visit." ”

As he spoke, Rybnov on the side nodded with an honored face, it seems that this guy does have a drama and can work more on him.

After talking about personal matters, Muravchenko finally couldn't wait to introduce the topic to the AI22 engine this time, which is the main topic now.

"Before we do, though, I think we should talk about the AI22 engine, which is the latest masterpiece of our Ivchenko Design Bureau, and it is absolutely appropriate for the 145 regional airliner, and we ...... it" (To be continued.) )
