Putting down the technical information about the turbofan 10, Rhett already has a plan in mind.

"Now I can responsibly say that the thrust technical indicators of the turbofan 10 engine you provide are almost the same as those of the F404, then we can use the YF17 as the basis to develop a twin-engine multi-purpose combat attack aircraft."

Hearing this, Yang Hui couldn't wait to award Northrop a one-ton medal, which was not enough to show Yang Hui's intentions.

Look at the fact that Nothrop is real, he took out the prototype of the F18 YF17 at once, and as long as the YF17 subsystem technology is thoroughly understood in four years, the base will make a lot of money as soon as the two sides break up in eight or nine years.

Chief Master Yu heard that Northrop took out the most wanted move from the base, and at this time, he suddenly suffered from gains and losses.

"YF17: Isn't this a prototype of the F18? If we do this, will the US Navy do it?"

In the eyes of Northrop, the gains and losses of the chief master are completely superfluous, and this general matter has no pressure on Northrop at all, and the excuses are not exhausted.

Rhett first smiled and explained: "Haha, this is too much to worry about, we are improving on the basis of the YF17, and it has nothing to do with the F18." Northrop's Air Force F18 business has been sold to McDonnell Douglas, and the U.S. Navy has no excuse to come to us, and besides, our company is not a vegetarian, and Congress can always say a few words. ”

Speaking of which, Rhett's heart is itching with hatred, McDonnell Douglas and the Navy don't have a good thing, and now I'm going to improve a new aircraft from the YF17, if you dare to mess around again. I

After listening to so much, everyone can hear it. Northrop also hates McDonnell Douglas and the U.S. Navy, and it seems that there will be fewer worries about cooperating with Northrop at that time.

Suddenly. Chief Engineer Yu took the case: "Okay, I have long heard that Northrop's YF17 aircraft has had a rough life, and now we will pull out the YF17 again, this time, we must compare the F16 and F18." ”

For a while, the whole conference room was full of pride, and Northrop was even more excited to say that our YF17 finally came out.

Both sides cried with joy, both sighing for the bumpy fate of YF17.

Excitement is over. After sorting it out, it's time to start preparing to set down the responsibilities, obligations, and investment ratios of both parties, which are related to the harvest in the future.

However, Yang Hui is the least interested in this, no matter how good the plan is now, anyway, the breakup in the future is decided, the two parties are destined to fail to achieve positive results, so what else is there to look forward to, no matter how good the conditions are now, there is no point in fighting for them now.

However, Director Bai and the other leaders of the base didn't know, and Yang Hui couldn't tell them: eight or nine years later; Huamei is going to part ways. Now don't worry too much about the distribution of benefits between the two parties.

Director Bai is willing to fight with Northrop for a few days of war of words, and Yang Hui also thinks it's good, so it seems more real, anyway, there is enough time for this project. Four years is enough time to learn what the base needs.

Seeing that the negotiation teams of the two sides fought for every inch of land for the sake of interests, Yang Hui was also amazed to watch from the side. However, the seven or eight days of discussion allowed Yang Hui to learn a lot of negotiation skills of US imperialism. It's really a threesome, there must be my teacher.

Finally, Xu is both sides are tired of fighting. Only then can it be regarded as determining the distribution of benefits.

"Okay, that's it. In terms of the research and development funds of the new aircraft, we will calculate half of the funds each other, and we will also share half of the benefits in the future. However, now the cockpit avionics and 1553B data bus of our Super 7 project will be transferred by you free of charge, and the localization will be completed within four years. ”

This is a compromise plan negotiated by the two sides, and in general, the base can still afford it, after all, the cockpit avionics and 1553B data bus of the J-74 and J-75 are free of charge.

The funds saved here, plus the remaining funds of the base now and the future export income of model aircraft, J-74, and J-7A, are used to bear half of the funds for the research and development of subsystem technology in the early stage of a new aircraft, which is still more than enough.

The two items of capital investment and income distribution are decided, and another question is placed in front of everyone, since it is cooperation, then there is a question: where to carry out aircraft research and development?

Is it the Republic, or is it in the United States? Is it in the poor ravine of the base, or in the bustling city of San Diego, where Northrop is located?

There is no doubt that the two sides are arguing again, but fortunately, there is no need to worry about Super Seven, it must be improved on the base side, and it is only necessary to change the wiring in the body of Super Seven, and the cockpit can even directly transplant the cockpit of F20.

Anyway, the two planes are the same size, with a mid-mounted control stick, and when Northrop sends the designers and engineers of the F20 cockpit design, the two sides will cooperate, and it will be done in half a year at most.

The development of the new aircraft was very controversial, and Director Bai was the first to fight.

"It should be put on our side, and when our country restarts the bidding for twin-engine fighters in the future, we can say that this is a locally developed aircraft, which will be a big boost to the bidding we won."

, the base side has its own considerations, and Northrop, of course, has its own reasons.

"This is not good, your basic research and development facilities here are backward, and they are completely unable to undertake the development of our new aircraft, and at the same time, your living standards here are also quite backward, and I am afraid that few engineers in our company are willing to work here."

This is considered to be a matter of disagreement between the two sides, and it seems that it is difficult to solve, and Yang Hui knows that he needs to come up with a more balanced plan again.

"In this way, we divide this research into two parts, the preliminary research in the early stage, mainly to study the various subsystems and aerodynamic shape of the aircraft; The other part is the specific design and flight test work after we won the new aircraft project. ”

As soon as the two parts were separated, both sides understood what Yang Hui meant, and began to think about the feasibility of Yang Hui's proposal.

"The pre-development of the system, like the Super 7 project, was carried out in our company, with the assistance of Northrop technicians, until we won the new twin-engine multi-role fighter project."

After thinking about it, Director Bai added: "Immediately, we will arrange the construction of a new American expert apartment, in American style, to serve Northrop's experts to the greatest extent." ”

Thinking of this, Director Bai also made a great determination to imitate the Soviet expert building in the past, and now build the American expert building, hoping to learn some good things like cooperating with the Soviet Union.

However, after Yang Hui listened to Director Bai's proposal to build an expert building, he felt that this was to re-follow the old road of history.

Now we have a good talk with Northrop, and it seems that the relationship between China and the Soviet Union is not much different from that year. It's time to build an expert building, but I'm afraid that this American expert won't live for a few years.

After eight or nine years, there will be propaganda:

However, the Americans broke their promises and brazenly tore up the contract, removed all experts, and destroyed the design data. However, after xxx's decision, Base 0011 was determined to make its own fight"

Needless to say, this is similar to the great cause of mushroom cultivation in the Republic back then, Yang Hui feels that this should be a good start.

Rhett heard about this arrangement and felt that there was no problem, what Northrop needed was a test flight of the new aircraft at Northrop and publicly announced to the world: I, Northrop are back, and we can design and manufacture third-generation fighters.

As for the pre-development in the early stage, it doesn't hurt to put it in the Republic, anyway, Northrop doesn't need to publicize this thing.

"I agree with your plan, the pre-development will be carried out on your side, and some equipment that you don't have will be shipped over as long as it is not too sensitive, and you give the cost price. But the subsequent test flights will have to be carried out in our company, of course. There will also be test planes on your side to do some test flight work. ”

Listen, this is really a great joy, not only to put the pre-research on the base, but also to get a batch of advanced equipment through Northrop at cost price, which is really

Director Bai stood up with a smile and shook hands with Red: "Okay, then we will cooperate happily." (To be continued......)
