"It's it, that's right, the engine we want must be it, this is the engine we need, even if it's a turbofan 12b engine, in fact, it can't meet our needs, what the UAE needs is a military fighter that is both on the ground and capable of air combat, and when we overhaul and upgrade in the middle of the future, we will want this engine." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

In fact, the UAE's words are not false at all, this time it is really possible to choose fighters according to their own needs, but about the turbofan 12C engine, the scope of this thing is too wide, even Yang Hui does not dare to pack tickets directly.

Combined with the previous understanding of the turbofan 12C engine, although the engine is a very good thing, but: "Regarding the turbofan 12c, if the UAE is really interested, we are not unable to meet these needs, but this engine is only in the initial design stage, although part of the funds are funded by our AVIC Southwest United Engine Company, but this is not enough after all, in order to be able to develop it at the fastest speed, it is necessary to have external capital investment, so." ......”

Obviously, this must be talked about the problem of money, before the turbofan 12A/B two engines have the support of the Republic of China's military, all kinds of gritted teeth can also complete the design, but now the problem is that the Republic of China military has invested all its resources in the development of military turbofan engines, and has invested all its resources in the fourth generation of the big push, for the turbofan 12C will definitely not have any more capital investment, and before from Germany's Marco stealth training aircraft project to get hundreds of millions of dollars, most of which was invested in the Hongdu Zhongsi project at that time, The remaining funds are a drop in the bucket compared to the huge amount of scientific research and testing required by the turbofan 12c.

Since the UAE intends to use the turbofan 12C as a mid-term overhaul and upgrade power package for the JF-18A/B fighter, it is natural that the R&D funds of the turbofan 12C will be pulled out from here, otherwise AVIC Southwest and United Passenger Aircraft Company will definitely not pay this money, after all, the company now has a complete set of more money-burning civilian high-thrust super-large duct ratio turbofan engine projects, and its priority is definitely higher than the current turbofan 12C.

Therefore, in any case, the research and development funds of the turbofan 12C engine must be borne by the United Arab Emirates, unless the military of the Republic can stand up and bear part of it, or as Yang Hui said just now, Embraer-Northrop plans to produce the Lightning 3 fighter, and at that time, someone may be able to share part of the development funds for the turbofan 12.

"How much did it cost to develop this engine? Didn't you raise the relevant funds and start the research and development of the engine directly? After your domestic military invested in the development of the JF-18 fighter, didn't you feel that this fighter still needs to upgrade the power system, after all, the power of this aircraft is seriously insufficient, even if it is a turbofan 12B, it is also usable. ”

If Yang Hui can't explain this problem clearly and leave a bad impression on the UAE, then he will be very embarrassed, and the entire order may be directly blown.

This is not a joke, the current situation is so critical, if Yang Hui said that the military of the Republic does not plan to continue to develop the J-18 power system, the UAE will be confused: the military of the country that developed this aircraft does not support the upgrade of the power system of this aircraft, have they given up on this aircraft? If I buy this aircraft, what will I do with the after-sales guarantee work in the future? And then continue to think about it, is there still a need for procurement?

At that time, with various problems, AVIC Southwest almost missed the order from the United Arab Emirates, anyway, there are still many choices, and Yang Hui at that time couldn't even find a place to cry. Therefore, no matter what the final outcome is, the UAE side needs to be stabilized first, and if it really doesn't work, it's a big deal to put the problem on the domestic military.

"About the turbofan 12C engine, the current situation is indeed the case, we can't come up with too good a way, although the domestic military has the heart of the turbofan 12C, but now the military has not been able to come up with the money, the main funds are invested in the new generation of military fighters, may wait until the turbofan 12B is completed, the domestic military will continue to invest in upgrading the turbofan 12C engine, this is the news we got in the southwest of the aviation industry, and now it is unreservedly put out, the specific trade-offs are still up to you."

In this case, Yang Hui has been ready to settle for the second best thing and choose the option of turbofan 12b engine, but one thing that people never expected is that the UAE is really not a god who plays cards according to common sense, just in less than half a minute, there will be a new love immediately, and the whole visit group can be described as twists and turns, turbulent, and people are really incomprehensible.

I only saw a group of oil tyrants smiling strangely at each other, and then nodded slightly, and the leader already had a whole set of rhetoric: "Your domestic military is planning to develop 12C behind 12B, this step-by-step method is really good, but we can't bear this progress, so now we have made a decision, and we will no longer consider the 12B/C two engines, the saved funds, we are more interested in the next generation of military fighter projects just mentioned, understand?" ”

Jokes, how can this not be understood, before the UAE at the Paris Air Show had been poisoned by the four of the AVIC Southwest at that time, this time when I came to AVIC Southwest, I still had the intention of coming to explore the tone, and now when I heard Yang Hui talk about the next generation of military fighters, it is strange not to be excited.

Yang Hui understood, this time it was completely understood, the big dog was planning to be a fortune boy this time, JF-18 has not been straightened out yet, and he wants to be involved in the secondary four project, yes! Just satisfy them, anyway, the military also said before that the middle four project can attract foreign funds, and now the United Arab Emirates is reluctant to be an overseas first user of the middle four, and now Yang Hui only recognizes money, and only needs to have money.

"Yes, since you are so obsessed with the fourth grade, then after we have negotiated the JF-18 fighter project, I will take you to see the fourth-generation aircraft that appeared at the Paris Air Show before, as for now, we still solve the current problem first, such as the procurement of JF-18."

"We already have preliminary ideas about the JF-18 fighter jet, and according to our previous plan, we intend to directly purchase the initial model of the JF-18 fighter for service, and in the various upgrade plans for the later stage, we will ........" (to be continued. )
