Chapter 541 I want to go see it, can I?
These advantages of heavy fuel aero engines seem to be of little benefit in the civilian field. After all, after years of development, various countries have established various mature and effective management and use rules and regulations on the management and use of aviation gasoline, and gasoline aero engines It has also been verified for decades and is very mature, but if it is in the military field, it will be quite different!

The most basic point is that if aviation kerosene can be used as fuel, the troops and relevant management departments do not need to specially establish a set of rules and regulations for the management and use of aviation gasoline, and can be directly compatible with the existing aviation kerosene rules and regulations. , is enough to occupy a huge advantage in the competition with gasoline engines. After all, for the army, the simpler the better.

So when the time came to 2010, military UAVs with various purposes such as reconnaissance, reconnaissance and combat, fixed-wing, and rotary-wing began to flourish. Gasoline aeroengines had conflicts with existing logistics management, and countries began to use more Focus on heavy fuel aero engines, heavy fuel piston aero engines have shown a clear trend of replacing traditional gasoline aero engines.

The reason why Zhang Qihang decided to engage in heavy-fuel piston aero engines is also based on this point: In the field of piston aero-engines, both gasoline engines and heavy-oil engines in China are very weak, and there is no sense of existence, but this is actually a good thing. This means that I will not encounter any resistance, and there is no competition. In this case, why not just start with heavy oil engines?
As for Zhang Qihang, he is good at making gasoline internal combustion engines, but it is beyond his ability to make heavy oil piston aircraft engines. There is no other reason. He is completely ignorant of the characteristics and development needs of aviation kerosene. Under such circumstances, Huateng Industrial Group needs a talent who is familiar with the characteristics of aviation kerosene and proficient in piston aircraft engines... Who else is more suitable than the retired old man Sergey Izotov?

Sergey Izotov didn't know this. When he heard Yang Zhijun say that the reason why the other party invited him was to allow him to build a heavy-oil piston aircraft engine, he was stunned. After a while, he turned his finger Pointing to himself, he said in disbelief: "You said that the reason why you came to me was because you wanted to engage in heavy-fuel aviation engines?"

"Yes."

Yang Zhijun nodded.

"Then do you know what I'm doing?"

"Of course I know," Yang Zhijun nodded and said, "You are the second chief designer of the Klimov Design Bureau and the best expert in the field of aero-engines in the Soviet Union. The famous RD- The 29 engine was developed under your auspices, the TV33-3 series turboshaft engine and the TV117-3 turboprop engine improved based on the TV117-7 turboshaft engine. It can be said that Mr. Klimov created Kerry The Klimov Design Bureau, and you, made the name of the Klimov Design Bureau brilliant."

Sergey Izotov didn't speak, just looked at Yang Zhijun, and the meaning was obvious: You guys know who I am and what I do, and you still want me to work on piston engines?
Of course Yang Zhijun understood what old man Sergey meant. He sighed and said helplessly, "I understand what you mean, but we are just a local state-owned enterprise. Do you think we have the funds and financial resources to build turbines? Besides, Izzo Mr. Tove, although you are engaged in turbines, but you participated in the imitation surveying and mapping of Wright R-3350 engines, who dares to say that you do not understand piston aircraft engines?"

This is the truth!
It is the biggest joke in the world to say that old man Sergei Izotov is engaged in jet engines, so he does not understand piston engines!

When was the old man born?

mid 20s.

At the time when he was born, grew up and studied, piston aero engines were the absolute mainstream. When the Soviet Union reverse-mapped the US B-29 strategic bomber, which was later the TU-4 strategic bomber, the young Sergey Izotov also participated in the mapping of the engine imitation of the B-29 bomber, so do you think Sergey Izotov understands piston engines?
Not only does he understand, but he is also one of the best experts on piston aeroengines in the Soviet era!

And Sergei Izotov was able to enter the Klimov Design Bureau, and was valued and cultivated by Mr. Klimov, and became the second in the Klimov Design Bureau after Mr. Klimov passed away. As the chief designer, it was because Sergei Izotov performed well in the reverse imitation and mapping of the Wright R-3350 engine that he was favored by Mr. Klimov.

"Ha ha……"

Hearing Yang Zhijun mentioned the Wright R-3350, Sergey Izotov couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and even felt that Yang Zhijun was much more pleasing to the eye.

But after laughing, Sergei Izotov couldn't help asking curiously: "Developing an aero engine is not a trivial matter, even if it is only a small engine with about 100 horsepower, from putting forward the requirements to completing all the test flight verifications. The process, if everything goes well, will take three to four years, but you just said that you are going to develop a light agricultural helicopter, it seems that this time is a bit late?"

"Yes," Yang Zhijun nodded in the face of Sergey Izotov's question, not hiding anything: "The heavy oil engine is a long-term project. Our President Zhang said that even if everything goes well, this engine wants to complete the finalization and completion of the project. It will take three to four years for the evidence collection work. If there are any twists and turns, it may be five or six years or even seven or eight years, and our new aircraft obviously cannot wait for such a long time.

Therefore, our light agricultural helicopter will not be considered to be equipped with this heavy fuel engine for the time being. Rotex, Lycoming, Continental and even Subaru engines are all within our consideration. As for which engine to use, it depends on the final evaluation. . "

That's it!

Sergey Izotov is certainly no stranger to these aero-engine manufacturers, but after understanding what was going on, Sergey Izotov's old man was entangled in his heart: Should I agree?

On the one hand, Sergei Izotov, who originally enjoyed a high status and voice in the Soviet Union, was very unwilling to live with the same boring and boring life every day after retirement, and the huge political gap. Of course it would be great to have a better life; but on the other hand, Huaxia is too far away...

Seeing the tangled expression on Sergey Izotov's face, Yang Zhijun was relieved.

Before he came to visit Sergey Izotov, he was afraid that the old man would kick him out without saying a word, and the old man's entanglement at the moment shows that the old man is actually a little moved...

This is a good thing.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhijun said to Mr. Sergei Izotov while taking something out of his carry-on bag: "Mr. Izotov, if you agree to our employment, you will not only be the person in charge of our aero-engine project, we will You will also be hired as a lifelong advisor to our group.

Well, this is our employment letter, you can take a look, our conditions are all on it, if you have any dissatisfaction, we can talk about it, you don't have to answer me now, wait for you to think about it Just reply me. "

Speaking of this, Yang Zhijun slapped his head: "By the way, I forgot to tell you that our group is expected to hire hundreds of experts from the Commonwealth of Independent States this time, and there may be your friends as well.

In addition, our group attaches great importance to your arrival. Not only has we prepared an expert building for you, but we will also open a special Russian restaurant. In short, we will try our best to reassure you. convenient. "

"You guys are very thoughtful," Yang Zhijun's words made old man Sergey Izotov a little surprised, but because of this, he also felt the sincerity of the other party. After pondering for a moment, the old man finally reached out and took Yang Zhijun's hand. Offer letter coming over: "I'll consider it."

Yang Zhijun was overjoyed!
....................................

The process of visiting Miri Design Bureau and Kamov Design Bureau went very smoothly.

Because what Yang Zhijun wants to recruit is not the core talents of these two design bureaus, but some middle-level personnel. After the impact of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the people in these two design bureaus are in panic, and there is no way to guarantee the salaries of the personnel. The existence of the company is okay, but the life of those middle-level and lower-level personnel is difficult. Those western companies will not even look at them when poaching people, so facing the olive branch handed over by Yang Zhijun, Mili Design Bureau The middle-level technicians of the Kamov Design Bureau were ecstatic, and it didn't take long to find the person they wanted.

To Yang Zhijun's regret, when he went to Ukraine to poach General Manager Vasily Omelchenko from the former Soviet Union's Zaporozhye Aviation Engine Factory, which has now been renamed Madasich, Knowing that this gentleman has passed away, Yang Zhijun is extremely regretful.

After turning around, Yang Zhijun came to St. Petersburg again.

Facing Yang Zhijun, Sergei Izotov asked a question he had never asked before: "Yang, will your company develop turbo-aero engines in the future?"

Yang Zhijun said without hesitation: "Yes."

"Really?"

"Yes," Yang Zhijun replied affirmatively: "But our President Zhang said that in order not to cause dissatisfaction among our domestic aero-engine manufacturers, we will only produce turbines with a power below 1000KW for a period of time in the future. Shaft engines and turboprops."

"Is that so..."

Hearing Yang Zhijun's words, Sergei Izotov smiled: "I want to visit your company first, is that okay?"

Yang Zhijun was overjoyed and nodded quickly: "Of course! Of course there is no problem! I will arrange it now!"
