After using Liu Gongzi, Li Xiantai opened a factory in old Beijing alone, called "Sapphire Aircraft Manufacturing Company".

Because the aircraft he wants to build no longer uses the traditional glass cover design, but uses a sapphire photoelectric observation system, with no dead angles in the front, back, left, right, and up. Using a small sapphire as an eye, the aircraft mechanism is much stronger, which is suitable for a gunship.

Greece cannot put all its eggs in one basket, because in the international arms market, Greece has to be constrained by NATO allies, while the Chinese Federation has not yet had such constraints.

I don't know why, Li Xiantai is very fond of doing arms business, and he is very happy to see that he is holding a big weapon of life and death in his hands.

Now is the era of stealth fighters, if in the past, helicopter gunships could be invisible close to the ground, and NATO used it to kick in the door and destroy the opponent's radar. However, stealth fighters are not something that every army can afford.

The vector turbofan vent V1, V2, and V3 invented by Li Xiantai are not suitable for helicopter gunships, because the turbofan rotates too fast and is easy to be damaged when it collides with bullets.

He also does not use traditional helicopter designs, and if he does not improve with the old models, how can he compete with other established companies in the international arms market?

The U.S. Army has identified the next generation of coaxial twin-rotor high-speed helicopters as multi-role helicopters, and the main design point is to change the tail rotor to balance the roll torque of the main rotor to a propulsion propeller, and use coaxial twin-rotors to counteract each other's roll.

This design allows the helicopter to reach speeds of more than 400 km, while the average helicopter will not exceed 300 km, such as the Apache gunship, which can barely reach 300 km/h.

Basically, Li Xiantai learned this design, but he changed the tail turboprop to a turbofan, which is still a vector nozzle.

Why vector spouts? Isn't it a self-balancing coaxial twin-rotor? Li Xiantai's twin rotors are different from those of the U.S. military. In order to kill the speed of the US military helicopter in seconds, Li Xiantai's twin rotors can be stopped.

The thrust of the turbofan is so great that it can turn a helicopter into a quasi-fixed-wing aircraft. At low speeds, the twin-rotor + turbofan can accelerate the helicopter to a speed of 500 km/h, and if it is to be lifted up, the twin-rotor has become an aerodynamic drag, so let them stagnate and turn into a two-wing aircraft.

At this time, the speed can reach 600 km/h. If that's not enough, the lower fixed-wing can be further paralleled with the fuselage to become a single wing, and this aerodynamic change can push the aircraft's cruising speed to 700 km/h.

That's almost as fast as a fixed-wing aircraft.

Later, Li Xiantai also installed a diamond-shaped drag reducer that can be ejected in the nose, and the theoretical speed was increased to 750 km/h.

However, after all, such a wing is not strong enough, so it is designed to have a large turning radius at the limit, cannot turn as fast as a real fixed-wing aircraft, and only uses high-speed mode when cruising in non-high-risk areas.

That's enough, a helicopter with a speed of 750 kilometers per hour, how subversive it is. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that the vector vent is designed to balance the aircraft as the wings change shape, which is the core of this design.

Liu Gongzi originally thought that this sapphire aircraft manufacturing company was out to compete with his own company, and angrily looked for Li Yuan's theory, but unexpectedly, Li Yuan smiled and said: "Liu Gongzi, don't worry, our company will purchase Purple Flame engines, not only not to rob your job, but also to help your business?" No, it's our business. ”

For the sake of Liu Gongzi helping him win the share of old Beijing, Liu Gongzi of Beihai Airlines has 50% of the shares, and Min Junxian and Li Yuan's team share the remaining 50%, and on the surface it seems that Liu Gongzi has a controlling stake.

Liu Gongzi smiled and happily watched Li Xiantai's subversive design.

There are two pairs in Asia, one is Xiaoxiong, Japan and Goryeo, and the other is Daxiong, the Qing Dynasty and the Chinese Federation, both of whom like to hold international conferences in Shanghai, a special special zone administered by North and South China, which is the largest metropolis in Asia.

The Sapphire helicopter will be unveiled at the Shanghai Air Show.

Needless to say, just send the title "Helicopter at 750 km/h" to the headliner, and it will immediately arouse great attention from aviation professionals and enthusiasts around the world.

On this day, people inside and outside the industry gathered in front of the mysterious telling helicopter, which was really crowded.

A celebrity host who hosts a military show in the Chinese Federation is in charge of unveiling the helicopter, slowly revealing her beautiful face and tsundere figure from under the rose-red hijab.

At first glance, you can feel that it has been designed for high speed, and it is rounded to the point that there are no external weapons, hidden cannons, and ground-attack missiles.

It is also like an aerial tank, viewed through sapphires, with no weak points, and has more powerful protective armor than the Apache gunship, and I am afraid that it will take a high-density anti-aircraft rapid-fire artillery array to touch its tail.

It has a rounded top and a beveled diamond at the bottom, which is more effective against attacks from anti-aircraft guns. Because of this design, its hidden cannons and rockets are ejected from the side of the fuselage.

Even the missiles were ejected from the side, which showed that the plane had to be equipped with special missile launchers.

The most eye-catching rotor is the four blades, which are divided into two rotors, but each rotor has only two blades, which is very meaningful at a glance. Later they will see how well it transforms in the air show.

Sapphire Takeshi was accompanied by a Hind helicopter from the Soviet Union. It's a monster that resembles a genetically mutated ugly two-headed dragonfly.

The hind flew in front first, and the sapphire chased behind, and everyone could see with the naked eye that the two planes quickly narrowed the distance, which showed that the sapphire was faster than the other party without transforming.

Then there is the race between the sapphire without transformation and the speed maniac helicopter after transformation, and finally the battle between the single wing and the double wing sapphire, everyone can see it for real.

Fast! It's so fast! Fans were fascinated by it.

The guy sent by Liu Gongzi took the opportunity to brag about his own purple flame engine on the edge of Sapphire's booth: "Sapphire uses our family's engine!" ”

Why use a hind as cannon fodder? Because the Sapphire helicopter uses a special observation system, this design perfectly replaces the ugly design of the Hind's high and low hatches for two pilots, and the vision is only better, not worse.

The Israeli Jews, who attach the most importance to combat data, every time a pilot returns from a battle, no matter how tired and injured the pilot is, a commissioner will immediately come forward to collect combat data and ask some questions, at what distance will the enemy plane be found? Under what conditions to fire? Hit or miss......

A large amount of data accumulated with blood, however, informatization is Li Xiantai's strong point, and this thing is concentrated in the program by him to automatically generate reliable combat data and flight data.

With such a data accumulation system, no matter how lazy the army is, it can gain valuable experience from battle after battle, and of course, this experience will be obtained by Sapphire in order to further improve the information system.

The U.S. and Soviet armies really want to buy some and go back for testing, but they have to open up their flight data? This is not good, how could the Yankees and the Soviets believe the companies of the Chinese Federation? Therefore, their purchase intentions will not be satisfied for a while.

Li Xiantai's approach is equivalent to setting up a barrier for his own sales, and these big countries will not really buy it, at most they want to steal a little bit of it.

The Federal Republic of China instantly stood at the pinnacle of helicopter gunships.

This is a weapon that has the potential to change the ******** pattern, because the Soviets are most proud of the steel torrent of tanks, and the helicopter gunship is the nemesis weapon that hangs the tank. If the Chinese Federation becomes the first power in armed forces, it will have a psychological deterrent effect on the Soviets.

The transformed Sapphire is much more fuel-efficient than a regular helicopter, with the Hind having a range of only 450 km, while the Sapphire cruises in the most fuel-efficient way on a single wing and can continue to fly up to 800 km.

The tail of the sapphire can also be attached to the "long-range running capsule", which can take off in a taxi-run mode, with a range of 1800 kilometers and a combat radius of 800 kilometers +, almost similar to a fighter.

This setting gives the Army a combat capability close to that of the Air Force, and may play an unexpected role in a major war. After all, the current air combat is centered on missiles, and in an emergency, the army can be used as an air force.

This aircraft replaced the J-20 and was called "the pinnacle of the military industry development of the Chinese Federation in decades" by foreign media.

Liu Gongzi also smiled, because he got his wish to make Beihai Airlines, which provided the engine for the sapphire helicopter, famous, which attracted the attention of the suspicious Cheng Fei and Shen Fei, and their leaders said that they would send someone to test the purple flame turbofan engine that they claimed could rival the F135.

Shen Fei's Eagle Fighter Plane copy the shape of the F35 is very good, except that the single-engine engine really can't be copied, they first intentionally equip their fighter with a powerful purple flame, only such a powerful engine can replace the twin engines, save space for the precious magazine, and reduce costs.

f35, unit price 1. $200 million. The Eagle also began to offer: 90 million US dollars, and was the first to accept foreign orders. Of the $90 million price, the cost of the Purple Flame turbofan alone reached $18 million, which really made Beihai Airlines make a lot of money.

All Liu Gongzi's dissatisfaction has disappeared in this huge profit, and there is an endless stream of Middle Eastern tyrant buyers who come to negotiate, and it seems that the first foreign trade order will soon be made.

Even now, Shen Fei has ordered 20 sets of engines, which is enough for Liu Gongzi to be good in front of his fox friends for a while.
