"Not Yun-12?" Mirza was stunned.

In its own "database", there is only one light multi-purpose transport aircraft owned by the Republic that meets the requirements of "a light multi-purpose transport aircraft with a load of 2 tons" and "the load capacity can be increased to 3.5 tons after replacing an engine with a larger thrust", that is, the Y-12.

Since it's not Yun-12, what is it? Mirza's brain was a little confused, if he wasn't sure that Lin Hongfei would never make fun of himself, he really thought that Lin Hongfei was making fun of himself.

"It's AN-28 of the Antonov Design Bureau," Lin Hongfei, who knew the significance of this matter to Pakistan, did not deliberately sell off the guanzi and hang Mirza's appetite, and without waiting for Mirza to ask, he simply said, "The technology of the Yun-12 belongs to our country, and without the consent of the state, I dare not hand over the technology of the Yun-12 to you, but a few years ago, I purchased a full set of the technology and means of production of the AN-28 from the Antonov Design Bureau, and also organized experts to conduct a review of the AN- 28 The outdated avionics and hydraulic systems have been upgraded in a design nature, and I think this aircraft should be able to meet the military and civilian needs of your country to a certain extent. ”

Yes, the 2-ton light multi-purpose transport aircraft that Lin Hongfei is preparing to transfer to Pakistan is not the Y-12, which Bingfei has just obtained the FAA airworthiness certificate, but the generation of classic light multi-role transport aircraft AN-28 designed by the Antonov Design Bureau of the former Soviet Union.

The AN-28 and Y-12 are similar in many ways, such as the same three-point non-retractable landing gear, two turboprop engines mounted on the upper wing, wing struts that are also designed to ensure the strength of the wing, and an almost completely figured out fuselage...... The only difference is that the AN-28 adopts a double-vertical tail structure with a larger starting operating surface, while the Y-12 adopts a simpler and more reliable traditional low-flat tail and single-vertical tail structure.

For Lin Hongfei, the AN-28 and Y-12 aircraft overlap seriously in terms of positioning, and the two aircraft are basically products in the same positioning range. Before deciding to buy the technical information of AN-28, Lin Hongfei had no choice, and it was impossible for the domestically produced Y-12 to be transferred to himself, but this kind of multi-purpose light transport aircraft with a load of about 2 tons and can be easily developed into a general aviation passenger aircraft, cargo transport aircraft and VIP business jets with a load of about 2 tons and 19 seats has huge market potential, which only needs to look at the Cessna 208 series and Beechcraft 1900 series to know how hot this type of aircraft is in the market.

But now, Boss Lin is facing a big trouble: Bingfei, which produces the Y-12, has become a member of the second group of AVIC, and the Y-12 series has even obtained the certification of the Civil Aviation Administration of the United Kingdom and the FAA. That's.

“AN—28……”

Mirza was momentarily distracted. Strictly speaking, the AN-28 is still worse than the Y-12, for example, the maximum load capacity of the AN-28 is only 1.75 tons, not the 2 tons as Lin Hongfei said. But as Lin Hongfei said, just replace the more powerful engine or the propeller with higher aerodynamic efficiency. This is a light multi-purpose transport aircraft with the potential to develop to a deadweight of 3.5 tons.

Even if it's a load of 1.75 tons. For Pakistan, which can barely build a large power delta wing with a fully enclosed cockpit, this is also a great achievement in the technological progress of the aviation industry...... Well. Strictly speaking, it can't be mistaken that the cargo is called an airplane.

"Lin, thank you, thank you so much. You will always be our friend in Pakistan. Mirza held Lin Hongfei's hand tightly and didn't know what to say, if Pakistan can really produce its own AN-28 transport aircraft, this not only means that Pakistan has made great achievements in aviation manufacturing, but also will drive the rapid development of Pakistan's related industries, and its significance is immeasurable!

"Don't be so excited, even if I intend to transfer to you the full set of technology and means of production of this aircraft, you still have to find a way to convince our government." Lin Hongfei smiled and reminded.

"Huh? Right, right! Mirza was slightly stunned, then nodded again and again!

Lin Hongfei is right, the transfer of aviation technology is no better than others, even if he Lin Hongfei is willing to transfer, it also needs the approval of the Republic, even if the relationship between Pakistan and the Republic is extraordinary, but the procedures that should be taken must also be followed, this kind of thing cannot tolerate the slightest sloppiness!

He immediately said, "I'll report this to Mr. President...... Believe me, Lim, the people of Pakistan will always be your best friend! ”

…………………………………………

Mirza couldn't wait to go, and he needed to report the matter to the Pakistani government and the military immediately, and the government needed to come up with a workable plan in the shortest possible time...... This matter seems simple, but it involves many links and is very complicated, and the handover of technical data is the part with the lowest technical content.

Mirza left, but Lin Hongfei was discussing the improvement of the Y-12 with Gao Wei, the general manager of Bingfei, who had just obtained the US FAA airworthiness certificate, and Gao Wei, the general manager of Bingfei, "Boss Gao, I didn't say that the Y-12 must be changed, such as eliminating the wing struts and changing the landing gear to retractable...... You won't be unaware of how much drag this fixed landing gear will produce when the aircraft is flying at speeds of more than 350 km/h, right? Some improvements are needed in these areas. ”

"There is also the wing, after the wing struts are removed, the strength of the wing also needs to be strengthened, by the way, our aviation laboratory has made some breakthroughs in the forward-swept wing technique of small forward-swept angles......"

"Forwardswept wings with small forward-swept angles?" Gao Wei was taken aback by Lin Hongfei's words!

Nominally belonging to the second group of AVIC, in fact, the aviation technology laboratory of the big boss of Weilin is looking forward to the small forward-swept forward-swept wing, of course, he knows that as the general manager of Bingfei, he also knows that the "verification machine" that is now modified on the straight-nine helicopter produced by Bingfei is verifying this small forward-swept forward-swept wing, but he is really afraid: the verification machine is straight-9X, even if the worst happens, the small forward-swept wing has a problem and the power system has failed. At least the aircraft relies on the spin effect of the rotor in the descent process to ensure the safety of the personnel on board as much as possible, but if the fixed-wing Y-12 is hastily changed to this kind of forward-swept wing with a small forward sweep angle...... If something asks you something, who's responsible?!

Of course, Gao Wei never dared to say this directly to Lin Hongfei, he groaned for a while, and said to Lin Hongfei euphemistically, "That wing strut is really ugly, and the front three-point fixed landing gear does increase a lot of resistance when the plane is flying, I have no opinion on the improvement of these two points, but replace the wing with a forward-swept wing...... Mr. Lin, I am not opposed to the application of new techniques, but should we be more cautious on this issue? ”

He almost said that he didn't approve of the use of forward-swept wings.

But since Lin Hongfei is the chairman of the group, he has made up his mind to stick to something, how can others casually make him change his mind? Shaking his head, he categorically rejected Gao Wei's suggestion, "The group laboratory's forward-swept wing technique in the small forward sweep angle is relatively mature, and we must certainly do a lot of work when applying it to the Yun-12." Rest assured, now that computer technology is well developed, and we also have enough wind tunnels to use for testing, I will not joke with the lives of our precious test pilots......"

Lin Hongfei said so, what else can Gao Wei say? He had no choice but to express his attitude, "Since Mr. Lin insists, then okay, I insist on my opinion......"

Lin Hongfei glanced at him, and he had roughly guessed what this guy had in mind: if he succeeded, he would naturally have a share of his credit, but if he failed, he would have something to say when the leaders held him accountable in the future...... At the beginning, I insisted on my opinion, but Mr. Lin couldn't listen to the dissuasion and insisted on going his own way.

Who is Lin Hongfei? How could Ya follow Gao Wei's wishes and allow others to take advantage of him like this?

"Since Comrade Gao Wei has reservations, then let's do it, Yun 12-X...... Let's position this improved model as 12-X for the time being...... When the project and the leading group were established, I was not embarrassed Comrade Gao Wei, and I personally served as the leader of the leading group, and as for the group members, well, I also personally selected. ”

What the? Don't have your share anymore? I didn't expect Lin Hongfei to be so ruthless, Gao Wei was suddenly in a hurry!

He just wanted to say something, but there was a knock on the door of the room, and Wang Guoliang's hurried voice sounded outside, "Boss, Director Ding came to you and said that there was something very important to discuss with you." ”

Director Ding? Ding Dachuan, director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense?

Hearing this name and the meaning behind the name, Gao Wei's eyes straightened: Could it be that Lin Hongfei's improvement plan for Yun 12 was actually agreed by Director Ding?

Thinking of this, Gao Wei's intestines turned blue, he opened his mouth, and just as he was about to reassert his position, he heard Lin Hongfei say, "Director Ding is here?" Please! Well, Comrade Gao Wei, Director Ding is coming over, so I won't send you. ”

"I actually ......"

Gao Wei wanted to say something, but how could Lin Hongfei give him this opportunity? raised his voice to Wang Guoliang outside the door, "Guoliang, help me send Comrade Gao Wei." ”

At this moment, General Manager Gao Weigao wanted to cry without tears. (To be continued......)
