――――――――――――――――――――――――
As a carrier-based attack aircraft, a basic requirement of the A-1 attack aircraft is that the wings must be able to be folded to reduce the floor space, and a big problem with folding the wings is that the strength of the outer wing section is not enough, although the outer wing section has 12 hardpoints, but it cannot be mounted with too heavy weapons, such as carrying 12 MK-82 aerial bombs, that is absolutely not possible, and the wing may be broken, but if the wing is not folded, then it is not a problem, 12 MK-82? It's trivial, but for the target of the attack, 12 242-kilogram aerial bombs go down, and the picture is simply not too beautiful.
In addition to uncontrolled aerial bombs that do not have control systems and rely solely on the experience of pilots, they can also be hung in multiple rocket launchers, not to mention the multiple heavy machine guns and aviation cannons that come with the A-1 attack aircraft, and these weapon systems can fire together......
It's a flying bomb truck!
The picture is beautiful, and the only question is one: "Boss, how much can you give us?" ”
"How much do you think you'll need?" Chen Geng asked rhetorically.
Zhang Pengfei said honestly: "If you just design and manufacture prototypes, it won't cost much, and the pressure of the 5,000-ton hydraulic press that our company is installing is enough, but if you plan to launch it in large quantities, you must launch a special production line, and coordinate with relevant domestic supporting enterprises......
Chen Geng: "I don't understand this, so tell me first, if we produce our own engine, that is, this R-3350, produce the fuselage and wings by ourselves, and only purchase all kinds of aviation instruments, control systems, and aiming from domestic supporting enterprises, how much will the cost of an aircraft be?" If it is replaced with a turboprop-5C, how much will it cost? ”
"Definitely not more than 3 million!" Zhang Pengfei replied without hesitation and categorically.
"Dollars?"
"How can it be dollars?" Zhang Pengfei looked at Chen Geng strangely: "Of course it's RMB." ”
Chen Geng's heart thumped: the cost of such a powerful propeller attack aircraft is only about 3 million RMB?
Lose your marbles!
It's crazy!
He hurriedly asked: "Do we produce our own engines, or use turboprop-5C?" ”
"If you use turboprop-5C, the cost can be lower, but the production capacity may not be easy to coordinate."
"What about R&D costs? Don't talk about how much it costs to get on the production line, let's just say how much it costs to produce a few prototypes first? How much time will it take? ”
"It should be about 8 million," Zhang Pengfei thought about it, and seemed to feel that this number was not very safe, and added: "It will not exceed 10 million at most." ”
"How can it be so cheap?" Chen Geng felt that his cognition had been reshaped again: didn't it mean that the development of an aircraft would cost hundreds of millions or billions at every turn? The unit is still in dollars, how can it be done now with only a few million, at most 10 million? The unit is still RMB.
Zhang Pengfei took it for granted: "There is nothing advanced on this plane, the structure is the technology we have mastered for a long time, the material is also the most ordinary aviation aluminum alloy, there is not even a task computer, the only technical difficulty is probably the folding wing technology, but we don't have to make folding wings, it is a bunch of mechanical and hydraulic parts, there are few electronic products, we have mastered these technologies, there is no need to re-develop them, and the turboprop-5C is ready-made. Since there is no newly developed technology and materials and processes, and ready-made things can be used, how expensive do you think the R&D cost can be? ”
It seems that this is indeed the case.
Thinking about it carefully, Chen Geng feels that the reason why the cost of developing a new aircraft is very high is nothing more than that there are many new technologies, new materials, and new processes used in this aircraft, and these new technologies, new materials, and new processes all need to be developed and developed, and research and development costs money, but just like Zhang Pengfei said, there is nothing new in the A-1 attack aircraft, and it is all aviation technology in the forties and fifties. That's going to make people laugh off their big teeth.
Since there is no need for these new things, it is entirely a matter of using existing technology, and the A-1 itself is nothing more than a 5.5-ton "light" aircraft, and if it requires a lot of research and development funds, that is the problem.
Zhang Pengfei continued: "As for the time, if we organize the old comrades of the aviation and industrial ports in our unit to come over to help with public relations, I estimate that we will be able to make a prototype after half a year, and if we can borrow some more people from the military industrial unit and then use the computer of our unit to assist, it will be about the same in 4 months." ”
"It's done!" As soon as Zhang Pengfei finished speaking, Chen Geng slapped the table hard.
Chen Geng's reaction frightened Zhang Pengfei: "What? ”
Raising his head and looking at Zhang Pengfei, Chen Geng said: "Zhang Gong, since you took the lead in this project, I will leave it to you, and you will write a team formation report to me when you go back, and we will do a special job to pull this R&D team up as soon as possible, if everything goes well, maybe we will be able to produce the first prototype by the end of the year." ”
After taking a closer look and making sure that Chen Geng was not joking with himself, Zhang Pengfei was completely excited: "Boss, what you said is true?" Are you really going to get this plane? ”
"What do you say?" Chen Geng crossed his hands on his hips and looked up to the sky and laughed: "Otherwise, why would I bother to ask for the import and export rights of aviation equipment from the hands of the China Aviation Technology Corporation?" Why should our money be distributed to those bastards of China Aviation Technology? ”
Zhang Pengfei's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he gave Chen Geng a thumbs up, and said with a happy and convincing face: "Boss, I'm convinced!" ”
Everyone thinks that the reason why the boss wants to compete with China Aviation Technology Corporation for the autonomy of import and export operations of aviation equipment is to sell two more piston aero engines, not only China Aviation Technology Corporation thinks so, but also many people within Runhua Industry think so, I didn't expect the boss to play so hard, and he has already played the idea of independent production of aircraft and military aircraft, for the boss's foresight, Zhang Pengfei was completely convinced: no wonder the boss can make the business so big!
