In this way, Director Xiao Liu became the deputy chief of staff of the newly established experimental unit of the Ministry of National Defense, mainly to put forward his own suggestions on the construction and development of the entire unit.

Although he did not say whether his suggestion must be implemented, with the support of the military bosses, there will basically not be any big problems.

Since then, Director Liu has become even busier.

The improvement of the Z-91 continued, and the Soviets' military exercises made them aware of the development of foreign armies. The development of electronic warfare has begun, and although the Z-91 is not much worse than the mainstream foreign Mi-24 and Black Hawk, Apache and other helicopters, it does not have the ability to deal with electronic warfare.

"The installation of an electronic warfare clamp cabin on the Z-91 is the next key task. In particular, the power of the engine needs to be improved to ensure that the maximum speed of the Z-91 can reach 500 kilometers per hour, and the cruising speed can exceed 400! The shape design also needs to be improved...... "The problem of the straight-91, Liu Yijiu knows better than anyone else.

The airframe was too large, which meant that the aerodynamic layout could not be optimised too much.

The aerodynamic layout could not move, which led to the fact that the potential for the improvement of such an aircraft was not very large.

"Director Liu, in the current situation, if the pneumatic layout is not moved in the improvement work of Zhijiuyi, it is difficult to improve the performance of such a huge body to ensure the structural strength......" Liao Zhuojing felt that Liu Yijiu was a little radical now.

The Z-91 was designed from the outset with multi-purpose in mind, but also to be able to quickly drop platoon-level units on the battlefield. It also has to have a strong air strike capability, which is destined to be huge.

To improve, do not move the layout outside. The increased drag when flying is definitely not one or two points.

"Yes, Director Liu, this fuselage is too large, and once the speed is higher, it is easy to cause damage to the rotor and engine, and it is easy to malfunction. Otherwise, let's do the same as the missile project. Break it down? Wang Yueshan is also clear.

However, he is not trying to improve the performance of the Z-91, but to add more projects to the first district.

According to the current situation in District 1. It is completely possible to learn from the missile project of Qin Yuan and others, the improvement work of the Z-91 continues, and then, the helicopter is classified. Helicopter gunship project. Transport helicopter projects are all up!

The same is true of the classification of helicopters abroad.

In this way, the performance of the helicopter can be effectively improved. After all, the fuselage of a gunship does not need to be so large, and what a transport helicopter needs is a transport capacity, even if it is larger, the impact of poor performance is not too great.

A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Yijiu's mouth, he originally had such a plan.

The development of multi-functional helicopters is for the sake of technology accumulation. And a lot of the technology comes from the Mi-24, and the domestic helicopter base is basically from the Soviet Union. It is a last resort. Moreover, it is also impossible for the republic to be equipped with too many helicopters at this time.

Until the end of the nineties, the republic's military spending was only more than $10 billion.

Now a year, it is only three or four billion dollars, four million troops to support, and there is still a huge scientific research system and military industrial production units.

"Let's talk about it. If you have any ideas, you can put them forward, as long as they are reasonable. The Management Committee will not get stuck in this regard. Liu Yijiu knew what was going on, but he didn't take the initiative to bring it up.

It is better to ask the supervisor to bring up this matter than to bring it up with him.

"At the moment, our Z-91 helicopter has not been finalized, but it has been successful. Five aircraft have already been exported to Nipudosan, and there are follow-up orders for seven. This can prove that it is a success. Although after testing, the Z-91 has a very good performance and is very powerful, however, compared with the gunship, the attack ability of the Z-91 is not strong enough; Compared to transport helicopters, the transport capacity of the Z-91 is a little worse. Wang Yueshan looked at Liao Zhuojing, Liao Zhuojing nodded, and said to Liu Yijiu.

The performance data of the American Apache armed attack helicopter is much higher than that of the Z-91, and its combat effectiveness and firepower are much stronger; In terms of transportation capacity, Chinook helicopters are capable of transporting more than 10 tons of supplies!

It can be said that the Z-91 is still good only in terms of comprehensive capabilities.

"Therefore, after several discussions with us and the technical staff of the project team, we felt that the only way to subdivide the types of aircraft and develop our own armed helicopters and transport aircraft was possible. Relying on such a multifunctional transport helicopter gunship alone is not very suitable in an increasingly complex battlefield environment. Sometimes, when it comes to air fire support missions, the cabin is empty, which is a pure waste...... And at the time of some transportation tasks, the weapons and equipment outside consume the carrying capacity, increasing the transportation cost...... "Zhan Liko also added.

Wang Yueshan is just a manager, not a technician, so he has never spoken.

He has always looked at Liu Yijiu, hoping that Director Liu can unify the expansion project.

In this way, District 1 will be able to develop as rapidly as the headquarters and units in District 3.

Liu Yijiu nodded, these people's references were correct.

Especially now their design scheme is not for the task requirements of the superiors, but takes into account the battlefield environment and the practicality of weapons and equipment.

There is nothing wrong with that. But the question we should consider is whether the military can afford to use these helicopters......" Liu Yijiu said with a pretending headache.

Wang Yueshan finally found a chance to speak: "I said Director Liu, didn't you say at the beginning that we only need to come up with the most powerful weapons and equipment when we conduct research, and our task is to get the most advanced weapons and equipment. If nothing else, the cost of our helicopter export is used to support the development of our project, and the problem is not too big, is it? It's really not good, the new ones are still exported! Sell it to our own army, and we won't make much money......"

Liu Yijiu was so choked by Wang Yueshan's words that he didn't know how to answer at all.

"Okay then, you come up with a plan. In addition, regarding the problem of personnel, we have opened so many projects, but it is not easy to solve...... "Liu Yijiu really doesn't want to go out and rob people everywhere.

For the sake of the Ninth Academy, it was these project directors who got cheap, but he himself offended most of the domestic scientific research units and the bigwigs of the competent departments.

"No problem, we will be responsible for robbing people in the future. As long as you agree, here are two project proposals, can you take a look at them first, what problems do we have and then improve, and then find the management committee? Liu Yijiu nodded, and things were easy.

What he didn't expect was that Wang Yueshan and the others were fully prepared at the beginning, and after he nodded, they immediately took out two project plans.

One is about the development of gunships, and the other is the development of heavy transport helicopters!

"Looks like you've been prepared for a long time, huh? I said Lao Wang, why haven't you heard any news at all? Liu Yijiu smiled bitterly and took the two proposals.

The project in the base is very simple, and there is no need to formulate any task performance from above, so everyone is also enthusiastic about it.

All of this is based on the four words that they are self-funded.

Few people who rely on scientific research will think about money, and only when money becomes an obstacle to their research work, will they do such things.

Before Yun Shi, in order to run the problem of assembling the remaining few aircraft, many technicians went out.

This is the sorrow of the Republic's national defense science and technology workers, and it is also the sorrow of a country that is too poor.

After reading the project book, the relevant leaders and technical personnel of the first district proposed that on the basis of the Z-91, the research of professional armed helicopters and heavy transport helicopters, in this way, the technology is relatively mature, do not need to go through too many tests, save research and development funds, and at the same time, can ensure the versatility of the three helicopters in some aspects, to avoid causing high maintenance costs.

Liu Yijiu agrees with this plan.

When the plan was handed over to the management committee, the other bigwigs didn't bother to look at it, plus Wang Yueshan said that Liu Yijiu nodded from the beginning. The research funds required are not too large for the Ninth Academy, and at present, the export of Z-91 can be supported.

The establishment of the Blue Army, there is also an order for a battalion of 24 planes that will fall into the hands of the Ninth Academy. Although the money has not yet arrived, and the order for 24 aircraft may span five years or even longer before it is fully placed, it can also be supported.

In this way, the Ninth Academy has two more projects.

The gunship project was codenamed "Thunderbolt", which was originally Liu Yijiu's nickname for the world's Wuzhi Shi, and he took it directly and unceremoniously. The external explanation is that it hopes that the helicopter gunship can be as powerful as the Thunderbolt, with super attack capability and super fast maneuvering ability......

As for the transport helicopter, Wang Yueshan and others directly named it "Bull", which made Liu Yijiu chill.

You can also see the ambition of these guys from this.

In the future development, helicopters will be far more important to the army than strategic transport aircraft. After all, future wars will only be small-scale local wars, and a combat radius of hundreds of kilometers and a special radius of thousands of kilometers is completely sufficient for helicopters.
