The army aviation has invested 250 million yuan in the entire project, which is definitely a jaw-dropping and ecstatic news, although it is said that the army aviation of the republic does have some taste of aviation, but it is the special branch of this army, which still belongs to the kind of hard work.

Indeed, in the Republic Army, it is definitely at the level of Big Brother, and the annual military expenditure is definitely a lot, but if you carefully calculate that there are many combat units under the army, such as artillery, armored troops, and large-scale infantry, which one is not the master who needs to spend a lot of money?

Army aviation, as a new branch of the army that is not yet ten years old, is indeed very promising, but it is definitely not enough to compare with other brother units in terms of heritage, and now the army aviation can allocate 250 million to support the research and development of the new Z-8 project?

Yang Hui was a little surprised by this in the audience, but he was soon relieved, since people can say it like this, they naturally have their own considerations, and if it is really not possible at that time, the big deal can only be the problem of the head office making more money in the project, and now the news thrown out by Lu Airlines is at least very good.

Chief Master Yin was obviously shocked by this sudden arrogance, and he was about to say something, but in the end, he turned his gaze to the navy and the air force and was silent, as if to remind the remaining two parties to give a statement.

The Air Force and Navy did not expect the Army Air Force to have such a big hand, but they quickly reacted, and then the Air Force gave their final conclusions.

"The Air Force is willing to invest 100 million yuan for the entire new Z-8 project, I hope that the project development unit will not let us down, our country is too big, there is a very strong demand for the new generation of general helicopters you brought this time, as long as the research and development of the project can be finalized, the Air Force can bear the construction and training costs of the new production line."

It can be seen that the Air Force obviously has some expectations for the new Z-8 project, especially the final promised aircraft production line construction and personnel training costs, which is enough to make Yang Hui's eyes shine.

The construction and training costs of this production line are not low, and you don't have to think about it to know that the production line of the new straight 8 must be a pulsating production line in the future, and only in this way can you ± ☆ dǐng± ☆ diǎn±☆ small ± ☆ say, .2 ◇ 3.o £s_ (); To meet the huge order needs of the army, and the pulsating production line is good, but the funds required for construction and maintenance are definitely not low, and it is also impossible to settle without one or two hundred million.

Although the Air Force only invested 100 million yuan in research and development, the cost of the follow-up commitment is also not weaker than the 250 million of the Army Aviation Corps, and at this time it makes the Navy a little embarrassed, let's not say that the two sides will each invest another 100 million into the project, a total of 450 million should be almost able to solve the problem, and the remaining 150 million will be solved by a head office as large as AVIC Southwest, and there will be no problem in the future.

And now, the Air Force is so unkind, the Navy is embarrassed to just say that it has invested 100 million? In this way, how can it be worthy of the deep friendship that the Navy has laid down between the two sides in the Southwest Science and Industry Era, isn't it pushing people to the grill?

However, the current navy does not have much money, and it is already very difficult to move 100 million yuan to get it out

But in the end, it was ruthless, this time: "The Navy also invested 100 million in the new Z-8 project, but we still have a question, can the design of this aircraft be able to carry two anti-submarine helicopters on a destroyer with a standard displacement of 7,000 tons?" ”

Okay! This navy is really enough, and I feel a little embarrassed to know that I only invested 100 million yuan, so I chose to ask the question about the size of the new aircraft. Well, that's very interesting, because it's a real concern.

Chief Engineer Shen was the chief designer of the new Z-8 this time, and of course he was the first to stand up at this time, and walked to the front desk side by side with Chief Engineer Yin to explain the question of whether the new destroyer could carry two new Z-8.

"As the chief designer of the aircraft, I don't know what the size of the hangar for the 7,000-ton destroyer program this time is, the only thing I can give is the size of the new Z-8. It is 5.5 meters high, but even the width of the folded fuselage should be about 1 meter wider than the American Seahawk helicopter, which is the best result we can come up with after calculations, so it is not a problem to carry two new Z-8 helicopters. ”

Is it difficult for the follow-up ship of 052 to be equipped with two anti-submarine helicopters with a maximum take-off weight of 12 tons? It's so simple that it's a design that's not a problem at all.

The reason why the 052/Type of the previous plane was only equipped with an anti-submarine helicopter was because in the early 052 period, two honeycomb coal missile launchers were to be installed on one side of the hangar, so it naturally occupied the position of a hangar.

Later, although 052 did not have the two honeycomb coal to occupy the hangar position, but added a left and a right traffic boat warehouse, which squeezed the hangar space, so that only one helicopter could be brought with it, such a design is the culprit that the 052 series has always had only one hangar, otherwise how could it not fit two anti-submarine helicopters with the hull width of 17.5 meters of the 052 series.

You don't see, even with the 14-meter width of the Perry class, the hangar can carry two helicopters, although this is partly due to the small folding size of the Seahawk helicopter, but these gaps can be completely overcome when the width is nearly 4 meters more.

Therefore, the reason why only one hangar is installed in the 052 series of the Republic is definitely not that the ship's side is too narrow to fit, but that only one anti-submarine helicopter was required when it was designed, and the 052 series in order to compromise the 6.5-meter height of the 28 anti-submarine helicopter is a design scheme given after comprehensive consideration.

Now, when he heard that the navy was going to install two anti-submarine helicopters, Yang Hui was also the first to feel a little surprised.

After the deep groaning, the navy did have a result very quickly: "It seems that it should be able to install two anti-submarine helicopters and reduce the height of the fuselage to 5.5 meters. ”

What Yang Hui didn't know was that when this plane republic was designing the follow-up ship of 052, because of the use of these four Q-160 gas turbines, it got a maximum output of 64 megawatts, which is already the same level of power output as the Spruance-class destroyer, but it is much better than the design of the last plane navy using two Q-280s, and finally only got a total of 56 megawatts.

Therefore, this plane navy has designed the 052's follow-up improved broadside width to nearly 19 meters in one fell swoop, which is of course much wider than the Spruance-class destroyer's 17-meter broadside, so in the case of the same level of power output, the follow-up improvement of the 052 cannot outperform the Spruance's 34-knots high speed in terms of maximum speed, but it is actually not bad to be able to have a decent 30-knot speed, after all, sacrificing part of the speed to get a 19-meter broadboard width is enough to do a lot of articles.
