Chapter 527: A New R&D Mission?

A few days ago, when the first static testing machine began to be assembled, Tianfeng Technology Company held a simple groundbreaking ceremony in the first workshop of the final assembly, and Li Tianfeng personally participated.

Now, the final assembly has been going on for several days, and when Li Tianfeng came to this workshop again, the assembly of this aircraft was in full swing and in an orderly manner.

Because it is the first time to assemble, in addition to a lot of assembly technicians, there are also a lot of engineering and technical personnel, such as assembly process personnel, drone designers and so on.

"Mr. Li is good!"

When everyone saw Li Tianfeng coming, everyone said hello, Li Tianfeng smiled and nodded, and walked to the side of the drone.

The drone is large, with a wingspan larger than the Boeing 737, which belongs to the big guys. A group of assembly technicians are holding assembly tools and are assembling.

For the general assembly of the aircraft, Li Tianfeng can be described as a big expert, very proficient, and Li Tianfeng is more clear about the technical points of the assembly of the "Black Ghost" UAV.

Insiders look at the doorway, laymen look at the excitement, if it is a leader who doesn't know how to do it, he may just take a look at it and go through the motions, but Li Tianfeng looks at it very carefully.

Li Tianfeng will even point out some points that need to be paid attention to, Li Tianfeng not only looked at the assembly of the aircraft, but also turned over the technical problems of the assembly.

There are no big problems, Li Tianfeng still found a lot of small problems, Li Tianfeng pointed them out one by one, and several assembly technicians, seeing that it was Mr. Li himself, quickly recorded them one by one and improved them one by one.

After looking around, Li Tianfeng said with satisfaction: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Lei, it's not bad." ”

Zhou Ding said: "Mr. Li, the first static testing machine, we plan to complete the assembly before the 15th of this month. Then enter the static test stage. ”

The static test of the aircraft is very critical and very important, and the static test must be successfully passed before the subsequent production and manufacturing can be carried out.

If there is a problem during the static test, such as a structural part is not stressed well, or something goes wrong. It is necessary to analyze the causes, find out the causes, and make design improvements.

Li Tianfeng nodded and said: "Ensure the quality of the assembly, do a good job in the static test, I hope our static test will pass smoothly." ”

Prior to this, all structural parts were tested for mechanical properties, and all of them passed the test before the final assembly of the first static machine began, and Li Tianfeng naturally hoped that the static test of the whole machine would pass smoothly. It's best not to go wrong.

Lei Yong said: "Boss, you can rest assured, in the assembly process of this static testing machine, I will bring our design backbone here every day to ensure the assembly quality." ”

Li Tianfeng gently patted Lei Yong's shoulder and nodded.

Today, in the final assembly workshop. Li Tianfeng stayed for almost half a day, and it can be seen that Li Tianfeng attaches great importance to this first static testing machine.

One of the biggest advantages of integrated design is that the number of parts is greatly reduced. Because of the advanced integrated design. The assembly is not only trouble-free, the difficulty of assembly is also greatly reduced, and the quality can be well guaranteed.

Li Tianfeng naturally also knows the advantages of using integrated design, and the adoption of such a design is a general trend in the field of aircraft manufacturing, and it will be a few years later. The development of integrated design will be faster and faster, more and more complete and advanced.

Tianfeng Technology Co., Ltd. has come to the forefront in this regard, and the design of the "Black Ghost" UAV adopts a large number of integrated designs, with a large number of aircraft parts and reduced assembly difficulties. The assembly cycle is accelerated, and the production and manufacturing costs are reduced.

Because of the reduced difficulty of assembly, Li Tianfeng was relatively relaxed about the assembly of the first static testing machine, and during the entire assembly period, Li Tianfeng only came three or five times, basically Lei Yong was in charge.

……….

In the office.

Li Tianfeng was drinking tea and chatting with Zhang Haiping. Today, Zhang Haiping came to Tianfeng Technology Company, two days ago, I heard that the assembly of the first static testing machine of the "Black Ghost" UAV began, Zhang Haiping couldn't help but run over.

The military is in urgent need of an advanced UAV, two years ago, the military launched the development of a UAV, Zhang Haiping is also the military leader of the UAV project, but it is a pity that the UAV project died in the face of a lot of technical problems.

Now, the "Black Ghost" drone project has filled the military with unprecedented expectations, and Zhang Haiping also wants to take advantage of this to make a comeback.

Zhang Haiping said: "Mr. Li, the 'Black Ghost' drone project is progressing smoothly, and I am looking forward to it more and more now." ”

Li Tianfeng said with a smile: "In a few months, our first drone will fly into the blue sky, and I have this confidence." ”

If it were someone else, Zhang Haiping would definitely pout, and he would definitely think that the other party was bragging, but when this came out of Li Feng's mouth, it would be completely different.

Zhang Haiping believes that since Li Tianfeng said that it will not take a few months, it will definitely not take a few months for the first "Black Ghost" drone to fly into the blue sky.

Zhang Haiping said: "Great, after returning to Beijing, I will report this situation to the leaders." ”

The two chatted and drank tea, because they were old friends for many years, the atmosphere was relaxed, and they had no scruples, they could talk about anything, not only limited to the "Black Ghost" drone.

As they chatted, the two talked about other things.

Zhang Haiping said: "Mr. Li, your RQ800 gas turbine engine has been successfully installed on our new armored infantry fighting vehicle, the performance is very good, our military is very satisfied, I estimate, in another one or two months, we will order in batches." ”

RQ800 gas turbine engine, the second gas turbine engine for ground armored vehicles developed by Tianfeng Technology Company for the military, has an output of 800 horsepower, adjustable output power, and an advanced digital fuel regulator.

This gas turbine engine can adapt to most armored infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, and the price is not expensive, and it is a cost-effective engine.

The first batch of RQ800 gas turbine engines, installed in the military's new armored infantry fighting vehicles, performed very well, whether it was a plateau environment or a humid environment, the RQ800 engine, and the RQ2000 engine, which had been delivered in large quantities before, performed very well.

Li Tianfeng said happily: "Minister Zhang, welcome the military to order our RQ800 engine, we have built a professional chemical gas turbine engine manufacturing base in Shuikou County, this production and manufacturing base, soon processed and completed, RQ800 gas turbine engine mass production, without any problems." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Haiping was overjoyed and said loudly: "Great, Mr. Li, let me tell you another good news, our military top brass intends to give you another research and development task to develop a new type of gas turbine engine for our destroyers." ”

Most of the ships of the Navy need large gas turbine engines, such large gas turbine engines, in the early days, they basically relied on imports, such as imports from Ukraine and Russia, and now, although some of them have been localized, the import volume is still very large.

Since Tianfeng Technology Company has this technical strength, and whether it is the RQ2000 gas turbine engine or the current RQ800 engine, it is very satisfactory to the military leadership, so the military leadership wants Tianfeng Technology Company to carry out the research and development of large gas turbine engines.

Such a large gas turbine engine is very technical, otherwise, China will not rely on imports for a long time, Zhang Haiping also thought that Li Tianfeng would definitely hesitate.

To Zhang Haiping's surprise, Li Tianfeng was very refreshing and agreed to come down in one bite.

Li Tianfeng said briskly: "Minister Zhang, there is no problem, the military is welcome to give us the task of research and development." ”

Zhang Haiping said: "Really! That's great, I'll be sure to report back to the chiefs when I get back. ”

Li Tianfeng was full of confidence, smiled and nodded.

After the two talked about gas turbine engines, they talked about turbofan 25 engines and J-20 fighters.

Zhang Haiping said: "Mr. Li, not only your gas turbine engine performs well, but your turbofan 25 engine is also very good, almost improving the overall performance of the J-20 by a large margin." ”

Li Tianfeng nodded, and then said: "The turbofan 25 engine is the world's most advanced military small bypass than the turbofan engine, but the number of orders for this engine is too small, and this year's order is only 20 units." ”

The order of 20 turbofan 25 engines is too small, and Tianfeng Technology Company completed the delivery of 20 turbofan 25 engines early.

Zhang Haiping sighed, and then said slowly: "Mr. Li, the cost of the J-20 is too high, even our military is really difficult to equip in large quantities, and the number of turbofan 25 engines can only be so little." ”

The cost of the J-20 fighter is now $250 million, and in the future, even if the production batch is increased, the cost will not be less than $150 million.

With such a high cost, the military only plans to equip about 30 aircraft, and China, the world's second largest economy, can only equip such a small amount, which shows that the J-20 is indeed too expensive.

The current cost of the Jian-10 fighter is only more than 20 million US dollars, and the military is naturally equipped with a large number of third-generation fighters such as the Jian-10 and Jian-11.

Li Tianfeng also shook his head and said slowly: "J-20 is indeed too expensive, if we let Tianfeng Technology Company develop the same fourth-generation fighter, we are sure to control the cost within 60 million US dollars." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Haiping's eyes lit up obviously, and he looked at Li Tianfeng in surprise.

According to Zhang Haiping's understanding of Li Tianfeng, Zhang Haiping knew that Li Tianfeng was sure that the dollar was bragging, and he must have a great deal of confidence before saying so.
