"Brother Feng? Secretary Huang? Mr. Guo? Teacher Zhou? Coming out of the test flight center and seeing the four people standing in front of him smiling, Lin Hongfei was stunned for a moment.

Feng Guoan, director of the North China Air Traffic Management Bureau, Huang Changqiu, secretary of Ma Quanshi of the Civil Aviation Administration, Guo Jingshan, chief designer of the Zhijiu helicopter, and Zhou Zhenguo, chief designer of the Yun-7 transport aircraft, just looked at Lin Hongfei with a stunned look on his face, and they all laughed, "Xiaolin, didn't expect it?" ”

"I really didn't expect it," Lin Hongfei smiled bitterly, "This is a big New Year's ......"

"Xiaolin, this is your mistake," before Lin Hongfei could finish speaking, Feng Guoan interrupted his words and said with a deliberately angry face, "The first appearance of our Chinese's own jet civil aircraft, you kid didn't even invite us, and my old Feng still regarded you as a friend, and didn't even invite me to watch the ceremony, it's really not interesting." ”

"We still thought that we would wait for your kid to send us an invitation, and then we would show off in front of our friends, but I didn't expect you kid to give us old men so much face, in order not to be embarrassed in front of our friends in the future, we had to come by ourselves." Zhou Zhenguo said with a smile, "Otherwise, I will be laughed at in the future." ”

They didn't give Lin Hong a chance at all, and let him say everything.

"You ......" Lin Hongfei choked up, only felt that his eyes were hot, and the tears seemed to flow down again: for the New Year, a director of the North China Air Traffic Management Bureau, a secretary of the Civil Aviation Administration, and two Taishan Beidou-level figures in the domestic aviation industry, did not take a good rest at home and accompany their families on a rare rest day, but they made a special trip to their own place, and they didn't go in, just waited outside. What is the purpose of this, do you need to say?

"Okay, let's not talk about this, I was far away just now, and I didn't hear it clearly, tell us, what was the situation at that time?" Relying on the relationship with Lin Hongfei, Feng Guoan interrupted Lin Hongfei's words and asked anxiously.

"Yes, Mr. Lin. The director of the bureau is very concerned about this test flight, because you didn't send him an invitation, and you got angry, saying that you wanted to make trouble for you. Huang Changqiu also said on the side.

"Very successful, very successful!" Speaking of which. Lin Hongfei couldn't help but start to get excited again, and tried his best to hold back the excitement in his heart. The situation and the four minifigures were carefully explained.

Listen to Lin Hongfei. Although it was only two of the easiest ground slides, the four of them were all silent, and Feng Guoan patted Lin Hongfei's shoulder with red eyes, "Mr. Lin, you ...... Not easy to ......"

"It's not easy for everyone," Lin Hongfei nodded with red eyes. Again, "It is not easy for everyone to get to where we are today." ”

"Mr. Lin, before I came this time. The Director has asked me to bring you a New Year's gift. Huang Changqiu said.

"Huh?" Looking at Huang Changqiu, who was empty in his hand, Lin Hongfei was stunned for a moment.

"Our director said that if everything goes well, we will be able to complete all the test flight work and get the airworthiness certificate in the second half of next year, right? After the General Administration starts work next year, it will let out the rumors and suggest that airlines give priority to the products of their own enterprises when purchasing aircraft...... However, you still need to do the specific PR work yourself. ”

"This is really the best New Year's gift I've received this year," Lin Hongfei was suddenly overjoyed, looking at Huang Changqiu's eyes full of gratitude, "Huang Mi,"

This is fundamentally Huang Changqiu, on behalf of the Civil Aviation Administration, expressed the country's attitude towards Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd.: to encourage and support the Republic's own aviation manufacturing industry!

To put it more bluntly, it is to encourage and support Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and AVIC Second Group to make a difference in civil aircraft, which is the support of the state in terms of policy; However, the procurement of aircraft inevitably involves some gray and even black areas, involving the interests of relevant personnel and even senior leaders of various airlines, and Lin Hongfei needs to take care of this aspect...... The emotions of the following airlines naturally have to be taken care of, and you can't let the airlines praise you Lin Hongfei in vain.

You Lin Hongfei made a lot of money, made money and gained fame, but the big guy couldn't even drink the hot soup, why did you Lin Hongfei earn all the benefits alone? Of course, there is no such reason in the world, you Lin Hongfei want to make money, earn benefits, and make a reputation for everyone to cheer you on? No problem, but all kinds of light and dark benefits can not be missing our share, and it is only right that we will make the cake bigger together.

As long as you think about it, you can see that the price of a large and medium-sized trunk aircraft is often tens of millions of dollars, even if the cheapest TU-154M is 8 million francs, it is conceivable how big the benefits are, why are domestic civil aviation companies particularly inclined to purchase Boeing products, and always have concerns about McDonnell Douglas and Airbus products? How problematic are McDonnell Douglas and Airbus products? Of course not, it's just that Boeing's PR work is in place.

This truth, how could Lin Hongfei, who had seen a lot of all kinds of commercial bribery in later generations, not know the truth?

The so-called public relations does not only refer to commercial bribery, it is only the lowest form of commercial bribery, those who give money are worried, those who take money are also worried, large multinational companies such as Boeing and Airbus do not bother to play at all, the most common, such as inviting you to give a speech, organizing a speech of ten times or eight, and making an analysis of the development of the industry and future development trends, in fact, it is a general talk of a pragmatic nature, but it is such a speech that may have no value. The organizers of the event will offer a price of $30,000 for a presentation...... This is the standard market in the United States...... After a speech event, 300,000 US dollars was in hand, and this money was taken in a bright and bright way, and it was the income of his hard work, and no one could say anything.

In addition to giving money for public speeches, such as inviting visitors and sponsoring the living expenses and tuition expenses of international students, etc., can be regarded as the scope of "public relations" work, and there are various situations, only you can't think of it, and there is nothing they can't do.

The Civil Aviation Administration was worried about what Lin Hongfei didn't understand, so he specially asked Huang Changqiu to tell Lin Hongfei: It's one thing to have the country's policy support, but everyone has to say that your things are good. The leaders above are not easy to talk for you...... Yunqi is actually not bad, the reason why it was kicked out of the civil aviation system is that AVIC always thinks that the Civil Aviation Administration can only buy our AVIC if it wants to buy an airplane, and it takes itself too seriously, and the after-sales service of Yunqi can't keep up, not to mention, and often plays a big name in front of the Civil Aviation Administration.

Of course, the Civil Aviation Administration is very angry: am I the customer? Do you understand the truth that the customer is God?

The consequences of the Civil Aviation Administration being angry were very serious, and the Civil Aviation Administration of China, which was angry, decided not to take the AVIC Corporation to finish......

"I know. Xie Lu Xie Feng's kindness, and I am really embarrassed to trouble Huang Mi to make a special trip," Lin Hongfei nodded again and again, "Our company has already formulated a plan. I plan to contact the heads of our General Administration and major airlines after the New Year to see when everyone can make up a time to go out together. Visit our factories in the United States and Europe. Point out the shortcomings and deficiencies in our work, so that we can better contribute to the country's civil aviation industry. ”

What kind of investigation and guidance is simply a luxury tour of Europe and the United States for at least half a month, and the bill is still paid by Guqi Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., but Secretary Huang is very happy about Lin Hongfei's statement. Nodding again and again, "Please see these factories with your own eyes, I heard that Mr. Lin has built the world's leading CNC machining centers in the United States and Europe, but everyone has not seen it with their own eyes after all." Everyone's confidence in the North County 100 aircraft is even stronger. ”

Feng Guoan was overjoyed.

Although Lin Hongfei didn't say much about the benefits of the Civil Aviation Administration, everyone understands this kind of thing: even the benefits of the following airlines are so great, as the highest authority of the domestic civil aviation industry, can Lin Hongfei ignore the benefits to the Civil Aviation Administration?

There are some things that are not interesting to say.

Zhou Zhenguo and Guo Jingshan are not fools, they naturally know what Lin Hongfei and Feng Guoan and Huang Changqiu are talking about, but they are not people with an excessive sense of justice, and they naturally know that if Lin Hongfei wants his Beijun 100 aircraft to sell well, this is a "public relations" project that must be done, and now Xifei and Bingfei have been merged into the second group of AVIC, and if Beijun 100 sells well, their subordinate enterprises will naturally enjoy the benefits, and the two sighed in their hearts: It seems that we are like this, It's better to be honest and engage in skills.

Speaking of technique, Guo Jingshan suddenly became excited, "Mr. Lin, the preliminary demonstration results of the straight-9X scheme you proposed have come out. ”

Z-9X, that is, according to Lin Hongfei's idea, on the basis of Z-9, a small-angle sweep wing and a vector thrust duct propeller are added, so that the helicopter can achieve a high-speed flight purpose of more than 380 kilometers per hour while having the ability to take off vertically/short-distance taxi.

If this technology passes the verification and it is confirmed that it is indeed operable, the state will launch the Z-13A/B heavy helicopter project, and on the basis of the Z-13, it will develop a complete sequence of carrier-based non-combat models such as the first generation of carrier-based fixed-wing early warning, anti-submarine, electronic warfare, air refueling, and transport aircraft.

"How?" Lin Hongfei's heart was about to jump out eagerly.

"Theoretically, there is no problem at all, without changing the existing basic structure and power system, deceleration system, main rotor system, using a sweep wing with a forward sweep angle of 8 degrees to 9 degrees and a total wingspan length of 14.5 meters...... The shape of the wing needs to be demonstrated in detail...... and vectored thrust ducted propellers, the aircraft will increase by about 700 kilograms, and if advanced composite materials and structural processes are used, it is possible to reduce the weight to 500 kilograms, and the top speed can reach 380 kilometers per hour, which can basically be determined to be able to exceed 400 kilometers per hour. ”

"Shhh......hhh

Since he first proposed this idea, Lin Hongfei has actually been worried about a question: will the results of the argument be diametrically opposed? If it's the other way around, what should I do?

Although it is just an assumption, if the result of the argument is not appropriate, it will also cause very serious consequences to Lin Hongfei politically, and now, this pressure can finally be put down.

But then, he thought of another question, and his face suddenly changed, "Gain 700 kilograms?" What about the maximum load? ”

Theoretically, with the same power engine, the load of the gyroplane will be lower than that of the fixed-wing aircraft, and the maximum payload of the Z-9A is only 2 tons, if the 700 kg is removed, how much will be left?

"This is indeed a problem," this time, the topic was snatched up by Zhou Zhenguo, "but the results of our calculations are very exciting, if it takes off vertically, because the wing will have a certain impact on the downwash airflow, the maximum payload of the aircraft is about 1.1 tons, but if it is taken off by taxi, the load capacity can reach 2.5 tons, which is 0.5 tons higher than the original load of Zhijiu!" ”

The weight has increased by 700 kilograms, and the taxi-run take-off can even carry another 0.5 tons? Doesn't this mean that with the same power system, just a pair of wings and a vector thrust ducted propeller are added, and the maximum take-off weight of the Z-9 has increased by 1.3 tons?

O Nima! Is this going against the rhythm of the sky? Lin Hongfei suddenly felt that his head was a little dizzy.

"No, what about the maximum range and take-off distance?" His face changed, and Lin Hongfei suddenly realized a problem that he had just ignored.

"The take-off distance of the taxi run is 120 meters, and the maximum range can reach 1,500 kilometers, which is an increase of 50%!" Speaking of this, Zhou Zhenguo was even more excited, he is an expert in fixed-wing aircraft, and naturally has more right to speak, "If you hang two auxiliary fuel tanks under the wing, the maximum range can reach at least 2,000 kilometers, and if it is used for combat, it can be used to carry out in-depth combat missions in the campaign." ”

After a pause, he added, "But this is only the preliminary demonstration results, and the detailed data will not come out until the specific demonstration results." ”

"So what?"

"What we mean by that is, is it possible to start improving that straight nine while arguing? After all, there are many problems that cannot be discovered during the argumentation, and can only be discovered in the concrete work. (To be continued......)
