Chapter 1472 50% Improvement

Restraining his excitement, Zhang Qihang quickly responded: "Convenient! Of course it's convenient!"

But then, Zhang Qihang said a little embarrassedly: "However, Chief Engineer Jiang, there is a situation that you may not be very clear about. Under the instructions of our superiors, our Huateng Group has previously transferred all of its aviation engine business. This..."

"Hehe... Mr. Zhang, I know what you are talking about."

Hearing Zhang Qihang talking about this, Chief Engineer Jiang laughed and said: "Inviting you and Comrade Feng Guoqing to watch the first flight of this aircraft is the intention of our entire project team and also the intention of the leadership.

The leader said in person that although your Huateng Group no longer produces turbofan engines, this engine was actually produced by your Huateng Group. It can be said that if your Huateng Group had not designed such an advanced aircraft engine, we would not have this aircraft and the ongoing large transport aircraft project.

Although your aviation engine business has been transferred to other units, your contribution to this project is seen by everyone. "

  Understood!

With Chief Engineer Jiang’s explanation, Zhang Qihang finally understood why he was invited this time: Huateng Group’s contribution has never been forgotten!

Although Huateng Group has transferred its own aviation engine business, before that, Huateng Group had made solid and huge contributions to this deeply improved aircraft.

The maiden flight of this aircraft is of great significance to the modernization of national defense. Everyone involved in this project is well aware of the significance. As a company that has developed the core subsystem of this aircraft, the invitation to Huateng Group has the meaning of rewarding merit. It is also a way for the leaders to tell Huateng Group that the country will not forget your contribution.

Zhang Qihang was so excited that he no longer hesitated and readily agreed: "Thank you for your invitation, Chief Engineer Jiang. Comrade Feng Guoqing and I will definitely witness this glorious moment with our own eyes... Um, do you need me to tell Mr. Feng?"

"No, no," Chief Engineer Jiang said with a smile, "I guess Lao Zhao is calling Comrade Feng Guoqing right now, so you can just come along when the time comes."

"Old Zhao" mentioned by Chief Engineer Jiang is the deputy chief designer of this aircraft and Chief Engineer Jiang's main assistant. It is definitely a great honor for him to call Mr. Feng to invite him.

"That's good, haha... I'll talk to the old man about this right away. Chief Engineer Jiang, to be honest, I'm really excited right now..."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Chief Engineer Jiang, Zhang Qihang hung up the phone.

  After a while, Zhang Qihang finally realized that something was wrong and began to think: In the original time and space, the new Liuye with D-30KP-2 engine made its first flight in early 07. Now it is late autumn 09. Compared with the previous time and space, the new Liuye was delayed for nearly 3 years before its first flight. I think the reason for the delay is that in addition to the D-30KP-3 engine developed by Huateng Group being larger and more difficult to adapt, is there also a reason for more improvements after the engine is more powerful? I just don't know what changes have been made to the new Liuye compared to the new Liuye?

Thinking of this, Zhang Qihang became more and more excited for the upcoming maiden flight.

Northwest, China’s first flight test base.

Chief Engineer Jiang pointed at the huge yellow-painted fighter in front of him and said to Zhang Qihang and Feng Guoqing with pride: "Boss Zhang, Secretary Feng, this is the new generation of bomber we developed based on the old H6.

如果说之前只能扔铁炸弹、执行水平轰炸任务的H6是第一代H6，具备发射导弹能力的6D、6H等型号是第二代H6的话，那么现在这款H6，可就是第三代H6。

Although the exterior style is similar to the previous H6, the new generation of H6 has a revolutionary improvement in overall combat performance compared to the previous two generations of H6. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is equivalent to the level of the J5 fighter jet to the J11 fighter jet. " Undoubtedly, the fact that Chief Engineer Jiang was personally present to introduce this new generation of H6 was specially approved by the leadership, and it was also a reward for Huateng Group's contribution to this project.

"Equivalent to J5 to J11?" Mr. Feng was shocked when he heard this: "Is the improvement so great?"

Just now, I saw that apart from the air intake becoming much larger and the nose of the aircraft changing from the previous transparent glass navigation cabin to a radar, there seemed to be nothing else special.

The overall feeling is that the engine of the old H6 was replaced and a large nose radar was added. With such a small improvement, it is said that the improvement in combat effectiveness is equivalent to that from J5 to J11?

  Isn't this too exaggerated?

Chief Engineer Jiang could see how shocked Mr. Feng was. He laughed and said, "Haha... I'm not bragging. This is recognized by everyone."

After a pause, Chief Engineer Jiang said, "The leader asked me to take you two on a tour, so I will first introduce to you the specific improvements made to this aircraft."

"well……"

Feng Guoqing nodded repeatedly. He was indeed a little impatient.

"I won't talk about the engine, which you are most familiar with," Chief Engineer Jiang said with a smile, "Let me talk about the overall situation first. The biggest improvement is that because the engine is powerful enough, we have directly increased the maximum take-off weight of this aircraft to 120 tons."

"How much? 120 tons?"

Feng Guoqing was extremely surprised when he heard this.

As the core subsystem supplier of this aircraft, Mr. Feng certainly knows the general performance of the H6 and knows that the maximum take-off weight of this aircraft is only about 80 tons. But now, it has reached 120 tons? Does it mean that the maximum take-off weight has been directly increased by 50%?

Even though he knew that Chief Engineer Jiang was unlikely to talk nonsense about such things, he was still very surprised.

"Yes, it is 120 tons," Chief Engineer Jiang nodded. "I can't go into detail about the specific improvements made inside. I can't even take you inside the aircraft for a tour, but we have adopted all the suggestions made by Mr. Zhang. For example, we changed the original bomb bay into an integral bulletproof fuel tank, which allows the new generation H6 to have a range of 10000 kilometers, which can be regarded as entering the threshold of a strategic bomber."

Speaking of this, Chief Engineer Jiang's face was full of pride and honor.

According to internationally recognized practice, only bombers that can achieve a range of more than 10000 kilometers relying on their own fuel can be called strategic bombers. Our team has created an aircraft that has reached the threshold of strategic bombers based on a medium bomber, which is certainly worthy of pride and honor.

PS: I'm sorry, brothers. I just had an operation and I'm not in good spirits. Also, I can't sit for too long. Please forgive me. I will slowly resume updating in the next few days, and will update more as soon as I feel better.
