However, we are quite optimistic about the fuselage design of the An-70, the size of the 4x4 cargo compartment is definitely enough to carry most of the current front-line tactical equipment in the world, compared to our current Y-8 aircraft in terms of size is a little insufficient. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

And what Yang Hui said at this time can be regarded as the truth, such as if the new generation of tactical transport aircraft is designed with the size of the cargo compartment of the An-70, it is absolutely awesome, except for the main battle tank, which cannot be transported, what else can not be transported? Therefore, Yang Hui has no idea about An 70, of course, it is not right, after all, this kind of good thing should be used to the fullest!

"Then, if you really plan to develop a new front-line tactical transport aircraft this time, then you shouldn't stare at the An-70, which is not high or low, and take a step back, we should actually position the load of the aircraft at about 25-30 tons, but the use of the An-70 fuselage design is a relatively good idea, so that we can control the maximum take-off weight of the aircraft to about 100 tons."

In fact, a medium-sized transport aircraft that can meet the requirements of tactical transport in the new era is not much different from the old generation of C-130, An-12, and Y-8 in terms of deadweight tonnage.

The Belfast transport aircraft first flew in January 1964, can be used to transport artillery and other large armaments, at that time it had the ability to fly 5000 kilometers with a load of 22 tons, and this data is only stronger than the C130 and the like, the width of the cargo compartment is also greater than the C-130 transport aircraft, completely towards the Il-76 such a 3.5 meters diameter of the aircraft approaching, the most commendable is that the aircraft improvement plan has a 25-30 tons of load model.

Therefore, the British Empire is really a giant ahead of the times, and a transport aircraft that has been engaged in 60 years can directly meet the needs after 2000, and if the British politicians at that time can do something practical, not to purchase C-130, but to give orders to Schott, then 82 Europe will discuss a new generation of Zhongyun? Just go directly to Belfast, and even after 2000, this aircraft can still be used, and if you dig this gold mine, it will definitely be a good aircraft that can be produced and used for 100 years.

However, there are no ifs, even if the British go to the front of the mainstream of the world, but in the end they can only kneel, just like the good technologies they invented such as steam catapults, beveled decks, and optical landing, in the end the British themselves are still not blessed, and can only marry others.

If the Republic did not copy the Y-8 in the 70s, taking advantage of the relatively good international environment between China and Britain at that time, it was possible to introduce the Spey 202 at that time, and instead introduced the Belfast transport aircraft that the British did not want at that time, then it would definitely be a good thing to get the thing back for production.

Now, the development of a new generation of tactical transport aircraft is in front of Yang Hui, and at this time, we should really learn a lesson, first of all, the size of the cargo compartment must be large, the field take-off and landing capacity must be there, as for the maximum take-off weight! It's not too important

At this time, the Germans seem to understand the current situation, it seems that the Republic is not very optimistic about the aircraft of the An-70 level, and judging from the news revealed by Yang Hui, it seems that this guy is still more optimistic about the fuselage design of the An-70, which is still a bit necessary to talk about. Thinking of the previous requirements of the German army, I found that the requirements of Nima and Nima were still very similar!

"After listening to your views, I think we can talk about the maximum load design of the aircraft of 25-30 tons, which can just meet the requirements of our German army to carry a new generation of Weasel 2 heavy infantry fighting vehicles, this combat vehicle is the main combat equipment of our German Bundeswehr in the 21st century, the total combat weight is 30 tons, and the ultimate load of this aircraft will be slightly expanded to about 32 tons."

This German Bundeswehr is also the post-war German army, although this army also has Leopard II tanks, PZH-2000 heavy self-propelled guns, but these are real offensive weapons, its more than 50 tons of combat weight even if the An-70 comes, it can't be transported, so Germany does not plan to airlift such a big guy. 、

And even if this kind of thing can be transported, the American father may not allow Germany to have this kind of airlift mass killer that can quickly deploy the Leopard II main battle tank forward, and the ability to transport the main battle tank is already the category of the strategic air force, and a country like Germany must not have it.

In this way, the development of a medium transport aircraft capable of transporting Weasel 2 infantry fighting vehicles will be directly up to the sky for Germany, and the rest don't even have to think too much, just give up.

So the current situation is also clear, this Nima also said that it is necessary to develop a transport aircraft that is the same as A400M, A400M can transport up to 31 tons of materials to run around, and now the Sino-German joint development is also the largest equipment that can transport 32 tons of equipment all over the world, and the size of the warehouse seems to be about the same size.

It seems that this project does have a drama, but Yang Hui has some thoughts in his heart: "If Germany asks for this kind of capacity, I believe we can still have a lot of room for cooperation, but you should also know that now you, as a NATO country, are expressly forbidden to carry out military cooperation with our republic, which transport aircraft should work?" ”

Yang Hui asked about the way to cooperate at this time, but this German guy looked like I had already thought about it, and at this time he was also talking secretly.

"First of all, we don't have to develop this transport aircraft for military use, and now our project is civilian, you see that Ukraine has already leased the An-124 transport aircraft for commercial transportation. Naturally, the route we have to take now is first of all not to sell this kind of military transport aircraft to any country, and what we have to do in turn is to produce this aircraft and then sell it to intermediate operators, and the middlemen can lease it to the armed forces of various countries for use, or when the armed forces of various countries have transportation needs, it is completely possible to charter temporary planes. ”

Thinking about it carefully like this, Yang Hui is really not very easy to understand what the situation is, manufacturing military transport planes in a commercial name, and then selling them to specialized aircraft leasing companies or air cargo companies, and then these companies lease them to the armies of various countries or have cargo companies directly undertake the transportation tasks of the army.

I'll give it a damn if he Germans can come up with this idea, is this Nima still the traditional German that Yang Hui is familiar with? Could it be that the people who could come up with such a solution could be the notoriously dull Germans? This Nima is simply going against the sky.

But... This still sounds quite feasible, although this model seems to be a little unfeasible in the republic, after all, it is too fantastical, but for Europe that can enjoy the peace dividend after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a magical place where soldiers can clock in and out of work at 8 o'clock in the morning and clock in and out of work at 5 o'clock in the evening, it is indeed really possible to commercialize this kind of military transportation mission.

"Then I kind of understand what you mean, that is, from the beginning of our project, it is to develop a transport aircraft for the civilian market, but the company that purchases these aircraft will contact the militaries of various countries at that time, and this is none of our business, right?"

As soon as he finished saying this, Yang Hui suddenly remembered that after the last meeting in 2000, it seemed that there were indeed people who had heard of commercial companies providing air refueling services to the outside world, and the objects were some air forces that had not purchased air tankers, but he just didn't know if this matter had become a matter in the end.
