Chapter 465: Major Events in the Aviation Industry
The new tank, the new engine, and the obvious little change in the internal space of the tank, the mood and interest of these soldiers who entered the tank immediately came up.
After a careful routine inspection as requested, and to make sure that there were no problems, everyone began to take their positions, started the tank, and heard the command from the radio headset, and the tank began to move.
According to the predetermined subjects, these tanks drove into the distance, and the ground in this area was definitely not good, sand, mud, and the ground was undulating, and the average vehicle was really a little difficult to drive.
But this is a tank, there is no problem, I saw a few tanks gradually increasing speed, with the undulating terrain, the posture is very vigorous, the yellow sand in the sky, the splashing sand and stones, it looks very spectacular.
I saw one of the tanks, rushing down a slope at high speed, then rushing into the sand, and then rushing out of the sand and gravel at high speed, like a steel monster, showing strong power.
"Oh also! It's so enjoyable! ”
As a tank driver, this fighter obviously felt the difference in the tank, full of power, if it was the previous Type 99, it was definitely not so easy, and the movements were definitely not so beautiful.
"It's so powerful!"
"It's unbelievable, it's basically nothing!"
Inside the tank, these soldiers shouted excitedly, and the commander of this tank also smiled happily, almost shouting himself.
Enjoyable!
The situation is similar for several other Type 99 tanks, no matter what the terrain is here, how high and low it is, how potholes it is, no matter how sand and gravel it is. Still full of mud, these tanks were like walking on the ground, and the speed reached 50 or 60 kilometers.
Wei Jin and his chief of staff, political commissar, deputy division commander and others stood on a small high ground in the distance. Everyone held binoculars and watched these tanks gallop, coping with all kinds of terrain with ease.
In particular, one of the tanks waded through the water, easily drove through a puddle, then rushed through a pile of sand and gravel, drove up a hillside, and rushed down again, raising the billowing yellow sand in the sky. It's spectacular.
Seeing this scene, the senior commanders of this elite division were all moved, and everyone clearly saw that this new Type 99 tank was full of power and reflected superb off-road performance and driving performance.
"Old Wei, look, how powerful our new tank is!"
"Yes! Commander Wei. You look at these tanks, they are simply invincible. No amount of terrain can stop them! ”
“……”
Seeing the people next to him, they praised one after another, and Wei Jin also said: "This is our latest Type 99 tank, equipped with the world's most advanced power system, the engine power soared directly from 1500 horsepower to 2000 horsepower, our tank shows such strong power!" ”
"My good boy. The world's most advanced power system! ”
"Yes, the power has soared from 1,500 horsepower to 2,000 horsepower!"
Everyone held binoculars and followed these tanks closely, and when they saw the vigorous posture of these tanks, they seemed to never get tired of looking at them. I watched it for a long time, until these tanks disappeared into the Gobi and the depths of the desert in the distance!
Two days later.
Wei Jin was sorting things out in his office, and the appointment was coming down soon, rising from the position of division commander to chief of staff of the group army, with the rank of major general, one of the youngest major generals in the republic.
Knowing that he was going to leave here soon, Wei Jin personally sorted out his belongings, and before the things were finished, a colonel came in angrily, obviously very angry.
"How can this be reasonable, this is an obvious fraud, it's so infuriating!"
Wei Jin put down the things in his hand and asked in a calm tone, "Lao Wang, what is it that makes you so angry?" ”
The colonel said angrily: "Old Wei, the actual maximum travel of our Type 99 new tank has been counted, do you know how much it is?" It's 60% higher than before, 60% higher! How is this possible? ”
No wonder Colonel Wang is so angry, as an experienced commander, as the chief of staff of this elite division, Chief of Staff Wang knows the importance of the maximum stroke of the main battle tank.
The maximum stroke is increased by sixty percent, or under such terrain conditions, what is the concept of increasing sixty percent, that is, if the maximum travel of the previous Type 99 tank is 500 kilometers, after the new power system is replaced, the maximum travel is directly increased to 800 kilometers.
One guy has improved so much, no wonder Chief of Staff Wang is so angry, and even shouted, this is obviously a fraud.
Understanding the reason for the matter, Wei Jin smiled, "Lao Wang, I think there is really this possibility, the current Type 99 tank has been replaced with a very advanced power system, not only strong power, but even more commendable is that the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers has plummeted, and now the fuel consumption of the engine is only 280 liters per 100 kilometers, and the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers has dropped so much, it is really possible to increase the maximum travel by more than sixty percent." ”
"Old Wei, do you think it's really possible to increase by sixty percent?" Chief of Staff Wang looked at Wei Jin in disbelief.
Wei Jin must be a little bit, "It's very likely, if you don't believe it, Lao Wang, you can test it yourself." ”
Wei Jin knows more about the RQ2000 gas turbine engine, Wei Jin and Li Tianfeng, not only old friends, but also relatives, the two often communicate with each other, often talk on the phone, by the way, from Li Tianfeng know a lot about this engine.
Because of understanding, so Wei Jin thought that there was this possibility, and when he saw Chief of Staff Wang come out of his office, Wei Jin said in his heart, as Tianfeng said, the RQ2000 gas turbine engine is really good, and it is not in vain that I have worked hard to get these new Type 99 tanks.
Sure enough, Chief of Staff Wang personally did the test, a few days later, Chief of Staff Wang looked at his test data, his heart was excited, as a veteran commander, Chief of Staff Wang fully understood the excellence of the RQ2000 gas turbine engine at this moment.
Staff Officer Wang took these test CNCs, his hands trembled slightly because of excitement, and he thought in his heart, our Type 99 tank has such an excellent power system, which is enough to rank among the top three main battle tanks in the world!
No, I'm going to go to Division Commander Wei, no, in the future, it's Chief of Staff Wei, and I'm going to fight for all the main battle tanks in our division to be replaced with this new Type 99 tank......

On the basis of its second-generation core aircraft, Tianfeng Technology Co., Ltd. launched the design of its next-generation new regional airliner power, and the design work began in July and gradually entered the comprehensive design stage in August.
This regional airliner is positioned in the world's most advanced and excellent regional airliner power, the design is very difficult, the technical content is very high, and many technical problems have been encountered in the design.
However, with Li Tianfeng at the helm, Li Tianfeng will personally solve a series of key technical problems one by one, and general technical problems will be solved by a group of design backbones and design elites.
In the design process, technical problems were constantly encountered, but in general, technical problems were constantly overcome, and the design progress was relatively smooth, and Li Tianfeng felt more satisfied.
Tianfeng Technology Co., Ltd. carried out the design of the power of this excellent regional airliner, and everything was in an orderly manner and progressed relatively smoothly.
In August, a big event happened in the international aviation industry market!
GTF, which was jointly established by GE, Pratt & Whitney and other companies, held a grand global press conference, which set off a hurricane in the global aviation industry system and stirred up the entire world aviation industry.
At the press conference, GTF announced in a high-profile manner that its new engine has entered the comprehensive design stage, and this engine adopts the latest generation of Pratt & Whitney's core engine technology, which is jointly developed by Pratt & Whitney, GE and other companies.
At this press conference, GTF company became smarter, did not invite Tianfeng Technology Company to participate, in terms of personnel invitation, compared with the last time there is a big change, only invited only one or two hundred elites in the world's aviation industry.
There are not many people invited, but most of them are elites, and pay more attention to media reports, this press conference, the impact is very large, the whole world aviation industry people, basically know this press conference.
What's even more influential is that GTF has released a large number of performance data for its own engine, which has been fully designed.
Such as fuel consumption, noise, emissions, safety, maintainability, operating costs, thrust-to-weight ratio, and some of the major advanced design techniques employed.
People in the aviation industry, as soon as they look at these data, will naturally immediately know the advanced nature of this engine and the excellence of its comprehensive performance.
Suddenly, the entire aviation industry is boiling, especially many Western countries, it is simply a triumphant high, such an engine, successfully developed, will be completely ahead of the power of any existing regional airliner, including Tianfeng Technology Company's turbofan 17 and turbofan 18 engines.
Many Western media, especially those with military or aviation industry colors, have reported very hotly.
Even, a Western media pointed out that GTF's main competitor, Tianfeng Technology Company, will respond to anything!
The newspaper's headline was even more distinctly tendentious, "GTF, the world's best regional airliner powerhouser," which trumpeted GTF.
A large number of media advocacy, GTF company on its official website, the color pictures of its own engine, the main performance parameters, very detailed, very high-profile.
Compared with the high profile of GTF, Tianfeng Technology Company is very low-key, and it can even be said that there is almost no reaction.
