"Is it necessary?" Mao Donghai's face hurt: "Brother, I didn't say you, wouldn't you just rent the 226 platform, is it necessary to get a special flight test platform?" This stuff doesn't come cheap. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In Mao Donghai's view, what Chen Geng wants to do is a very low cost-effectiveness thing, for the sake of an engine, you are ready to build an engine air experiment platform, what is the difference between it and planning to hatch a chick out in order to eat an egg, and slowly raise a hen to lay eggs?

But Chen Geng obviously didn't see it that way, he shook his head and said seriously: "I think it's still necessary." ”

Without waiting for Mao Donghai to ask, Chen Geng continued: "Runhua Industry wants to test more than this engine, only now we want to develop the NK-8 there are several improved models, and there will be more improved models in the future, not to mention for the time being, the NK-44 and NK-56 high-thrust engines under development are indispensable for the cooperation of the air test flight platform...... Speaking of the NK-44 and NK-56 engines, I suddenly remembered a question: What is the height of the H-6 from the ground in the belly of the aircraft? Is the allowable height of the 226-engine air platform sufficient? ”

The reason for this question is that the test engine mount of the 226 flight test bench modified from the Tu-16 is located on the belly of the plane, and Chen Geng is not very clear about the distance from the belly of the H-6 bomber to the ground, but through some television programs and the photos of ground crews who have been seen everywhere on the Internet in later generations of loading weapons and ammunition for the H-6, we can see that the lowest end of the outer pylon of the weapon is just over 2 meters from the ground.

Comparing the pictures of the ground crew helping the H-6 to conduct a test before take-off, it can be found that even in the most optimistic estimates, the distance from the belly of the H-6 to the ground is just over 2 meters (perhaps less than 2 meters).

Previously, the 226 flight test platform tested some smaller fighter engines, the largest engine tested is our turbofan 8 turbofan engine imitated from JT3D, this height is no problem for these engines, but the size of the civilian version of the NK-8 with increased bypass ratio is much larger than that of turbofan 8, counting the engine bracket and external fairing, it is estimated that there will not be much worse than 2 meters, if it is NK-56 and NK-44 with a large bypass ratio, then the fun will be great. Not to mention whether it is possible to install an improved NK-8 with a duct ratio of more than 2, it is estimated that there will be a question mark.

Hearing Chen Geng talk about this incident, Mao Donghai also began to pinch his teeth: Yes, it is still a question mark whether the NK-8 can be hung up, and it is even said that other engines are bigger.

But as the mother's family of the H-6 bomber, Chen Geng's disgusted look made Mao Donghai very unhappy, and he couldn't help but mock: "To put it simply, if you really have such a great ability, just get an Il-76 from Lao Maozi and come back, if you really get it back, you have the ability, and at that time, maybe our other brother aviation development units in China will also have to borrow it from you, how face-saving is this?" ”

Chen Geng touched his head, not impressed by Mao Donghai's ridicule, but seriously considered it: "Hearing you say this, it seems that it is really like that." ”

“……”

Mao Donghai was half stunned: I'm mocking you, do you know, no matter how messy Lao Maozi is now, Il-76-LL is also a baby pimple with only five in the entire Soviet Union, and you can get it back if you want to? Look at your serious appearance, pretending to be like the real thing.

After Chen Geng realized the limitations of the No. 226 engine air test platform, he made up his mind and began to seriously ponder how to get their engine air test platform back from Lao Maozi -- no matter how bad it is, let's get an Il-76 and modify this assembly ourselves, right?

…………………………………………

While Chen Geng was pondering how to slap BMW-Rowe hard, there was a burst of laughter in Dalewitz, Berlin, Germany, where BMW-Rowe is headquartered.

"Mr. Rosenthal, this is the pride of our BMW-Royce company, the world's most advanced turbofan engine with a high bypass ratio that can be used in aircraft from 80 to 120 seats, and the first engine in our BR700 series, the BR710," said Gunter Kapler, Vice President of BMW-Roy, pointing to the 1:1 model of the engine in front of him, and introduced Rosenthal to Rosenthal, Vice President of Falkland-United Aviation Technologies in the Netherlands, with a smile on his face. BR710 is currently the world's first and only turbofan engine with a thrust class of 6000 kg to 7000 kg. Maintenance intervals and maintenance costs are more advantageous than the MK610-15 engines used on your Fokker 100 aircraft. ”

Günter Kapler was not at all worried about annoying Rolls-Royce, the shareholder of BMW-Royce, even though the current engine on the Fokker 100 was owned by Rolls-Royce.

Rosenthal nodded reservedly: "Mr. Kapler, we do have the idea of replacing the Fokker 100 aircraft with more fuel-efficient and quieter engines, but IMHO, when will your BR710 engines get airworthiness and production licenses?" Our customers are waiting in line, and we can't wait long for you. ”

As the world's only 100-seat large jet regional airliner and quasi-trunk airliner manufacturer...... Rosenthal certainly had the confidence to speak to Günter Kapler like this.

The Fokker 100 aircraft of the Dutch Falkland-United Aviation Technology Company is, but in terms of its overall performance, it can actually be regarded as a short- and medium-range trunk aircraft, compared with the McDonnell Douglas-82 with 147 seats in the all-economy layout, the Fokker 100 with 119 seats in the high-density layout is only slightly inferior in the number of seats, but in other aspects, including key technical indicators such as range, it is almost the same as McDonnell Douglas-82 and McDonnell Douglas-82 3+ per row2 seating layouts.

As a 1988 official delivery, the world's first 100-seat quasi-trunk aircraft, the Fokker 100's market positioning and Runhua Industrial's MPC-75 is actually not much different - although the reverse is true - from 1988 to now, Fokker has delivered more than 60 Fokker 100 to the market, this is where Rosenthal's confidence lies, so in the face of the British 710 engine airworthiness certification work can be completed in 1996 at the earliest, Rosenthal was not at all polite.

"Of course, of course, I fully understand your concerns," Günter Kapler smiled more attentively: "Mr. Rosenthal, I have approached Royce Royce, if Fokker is willing to purchase the BR710 in bulk after obtaining the airworthiness license and production license, Royce Royce can give you some preferential treatment for the engine you are purchasing now, for Fokker, this does not require you to pay any price, right?" ”

"That's right......" Rosentalden was moved.

In fact, he was able to visit the BR710 at the invitation of BMW-Rowe Rowe Company, which in itself shows the attitude of Falkland-United Aviation Technology Company in this matter, for any aircraft, its engine is not cheap, if you can take this opportunity to be cheaper, of course it is a good thing, just like Günter Kapler said, this is not a bad thing, and it also requires Fokker to pay any price, but ......

Not enough!

Want to convince Fokker with just this little benefit?

Of course not!

Rosenthal knew very well why Günter Capler wanted such a promise, and if Fokker had made the first commitment, it would have been much easier for BMW-Rowe to sell the engine in the future. Compared to the benefits that BMW-Rowe receives, Fokker has received too few benefits. Shaking his head, Rosenthal said, "Mr. Kapler, let's all be honest, if this is the sincerity of BMW-Rowe, it will obviously not be enough." ”

Günter Kapler was clearly prepared for this, and immediately asked, "And what do you want?" ”

"How much discount can we get for the MK610 engine we are purchasing now?"

"1.5 percentage points."

"That's too little," says Rosenthal categorically, "at least 10 percent, and I have one more request: in return for the support of Fokker, the price of the engines that Fokker buys from BMW-Rowe will always be at least 5% lower than others." ”

"It can't be!" Günter Kapler almost jumped up: "No one dares to agree to such conditions ......"

"Then I can't help myself." Rosenthal spread his hands, shrugged, and said.

Anyway, according to BMW-Rowe Rowe production plan, the BR710 will not get the airworthiness license until 1996 at the earliest, which is more than 4 years away, and Fokker has no need to rush at all.

Rosenthal's attitude of "either you agree to my conditions, or I will leave" made Günter Kapler finally regret it, he originally planned to use the Dutch Falkland United Aviation Technology Company to put pressure on the Chinese, but now it seems that the Dutch do not seem to cooperate very much?

What can I do? Is it bowing to the Chinese?

As soon as this option popped into his mind, it was immediately ruled out by Günter Kapler: What a joke, as a proud gentleman, how can I bow to the Chinese?

Looking at Günter Capler, who was silent, Rosenthal was more and more sure of his previous suspicions: there was indeed a problem.

After receiving the invitation from BMW-Rowe Ronaldo, Falkland-United Aviation Technology immediately held a meeting to discuss the matter: as a subsidiary of the Rolo-Royce Group, BMW-Rowe Ronaldo is actually digging its own corner?! And this kind of digging into the wall actually got the tacit approval of the parent company?

I don't know why, but ...... There must be a trap somewhere!
