Chapter 733 Help?
Trainer helicopter?
Zhang Qihang was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Second Uncle, our helicopter hasn't completed all the flight test procedures yet, this...isn't it appropriate?"

He didn't understand what Xia Pingyue was thinking, because the ultra-light piston-powered helicopter developed by Huateng Industrial Group was assisted by a certain army aviation regiment in the Shungeng Military Region. I should have enough understanding. At this time, I propose to provide a batch to the Beijing Military Region. Let’s not talk about how much this "batch" is, and whether Huateng Industrial Group can provide this equipment to the Beijing Military Region. If equipment is provided to the army under the condition of license and production license, if there is an accident during use, whose responsibility is it?
Xia Muqing naturally knew the key to it. Hearing the words, she couldn't help but frowned, feeling that her second uncle's idea was really unreliable, but after taking a look at Zhang Qihang, she still didn't say anything: let Zhang Qihang can handle it by himself.

"Of course I know that." Faced with Zhang Qihang's euphemistic refusal, Xia Pingyue nodded. He naturally knew what Zhang Qihang was worried about and why he refused. The Military Region x Army Aviation Regiment, let them 'assist' you in the test, the use and operation of the helicopters during this period are very good, it has played a very important role in reducing the regiment's daily training costs and keeping the pilots flying The great effect has been unanimously praised by the group.

Although you have not yet obtained the airworthiness certificate and production certificate, I understand that 75% of all your flight test subjects have been completed, and only some test subjects under extreme conditions have not yet been carried out. For the fighters, those test subjects under extreme conditions are not within the scope of their flight syllabus, so..."

Zhang Qihang understood what Xia Pingyue meant, and he nodded: "Second Uncle, I understand. From my personal point of view, I certainly hope that this helicopter can play its due role, but the problem is that we are not suitable for it." Aviation license and production license, it is impossible for us to deliver helicopters to you. Another thing, if one of them accidentally has a flight accident, then the division of responsibility will be all over the place... At that time, it will hurt both parties because of this. It’s not worth the money.”

For an aircraft that has not yet obtained an airworthiness certificate and a production certificate, is there a high probability of accidents during flight?It’s hard to say, but anyway, the probability of accidents is much higher than those products that have already obtained the airworthiness certificate and production certificate. The most important thing is that in the future, if you don’t care about it, the law will not stand On my own side: Since you all know that you have not obtained the airworthiness permit and production permit, why do you secretly produce and sell them?So nothing to say, the responsibility is all yours!

But Xia Pingyue came prepared, how could he be easily persuaded by Zhang Qihang with just a few words?He nodded and said, "Of course I understand your concern, but what if these planes were donated to the Beijing Military Region for the purpose of 'conducting relevant test subjects'?"

donate? !
Zhang Qihang was amused by Xia Pingyue's thoughts: This Second Uncle Xia really has a good plan!

Even Xia Muqing was a little unhappy, feeling that his second uncle was too much: You can't talk like a lion just because you are my second uncle, right?

But Xia Pingyue seemed to have anticipated this situation, and he continued: "Of course, I also know that these 10 planes are worth a lot of money, so of course the second uncle has no reason to take your benefits for nothing. In this way, the Beijing Military Region will Assist you to obtain the production license and airworthiness license as soon as possible, and in addition..."

Speaking of this, Xia Pingyue smiled slightly, and then said: "If the soldiers have good feedback on your helicopter, do you still worry about the next order?"

In other words, don’t think that you are at a disadvantage. In fact, this is a win-win proposal: Although you have to pay the price of a batch of helicopters, the army is actually a rather "stubborn" group to some extent. When soldiers are used to After buying your helicopter, even if other people come up with the same product, they can't get in.

I have to say that this proposal is very tempting. At least when I heard Xia Pingyue say this, Xia Muqing's face immediately eased a lot. With the importance of the Beijing Military Region and the fact that Huateng Industrial Group's helicopter It is not expensive in itself, but around 100 million. In the future, the army will only buy 100 of them at one time, and it will only cost [-] million RMB. This is a small amount of money.

But Zhang Qihang was not convinced by Xia Pingyue's words, he shook his head and said, "Second Uncle, it's not that I'm stingy, nor is it that I don't want to part with it, but this matter is of great importance... Let me just say it directly, If the army aviation pilots in our military region have a training accident while flying our helicopter, it will be pointed at our aircraft without an airworthiness certificate and a production certificate; two points, the board will definitely hit our ass , this is not something that can be solved by saying 'we are assisting Huateng Industrial Group in carrying out relevant test subjects', and most importantly, I can't hand over the helicopter with potential safety hazards to our soldiers who defend the country .”

What a joke, this kind of thing must never be done!
Moreover, the domestic company that develops two-seat ultra-light helicopters is Huateng Industrial Group. Zhang Qihang is not afraid of competition at all. Now there are seven major military regions in the country. Which military region does not know? Ultra-light helicopters for teaching and training at the highest level?
Not only are everyone looking eagerly at the Shungeng Military Region and waiting for the feedback from the Shungeng Military Region, but some even rushed to the Shungeng Military Region to "ask for advice and learn advanced training experience". All the testing of the helicopter is done, so why take the risk?
"Really can not?"

Xia Pingyue's face was somewhat disappointed.

Zhang Qihang sighed, and said, "Second Uncle, this is not a matter of accommodation, but a matter of principle."

Zhang Qihang remembers the fact that a certain automobile manufacturer donated a batch of off-road vehicles with good performance to the army despite the plea of ​​the leader of a certain army. Some good people and good deeds cannot be done casually. As for why the author only wrote At this point, the following plot is definitely 404, so let's not talk about it.

"All right……"

Seeing that Zhang Qihang was so persistent, Xia Pingyue couldn't say anything more, he sighed, and depressedly picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it down in one gulp.

On the contrary, Xia Muqing, who had seen the situation of his second uncle, gently tugged Zhang Qihang's sleeve.

Zhang Qihang nodded and said softly: "But Second Uncle, I can't give you that helicopter, but I can donate 10 'Business Class on Land' to you to improve your travel conditions, you see..."

This is also what Zhang Qihang discussed with Xia Muqing before. Since the second uncle has been transferred from the Shungeng Military Region to the Beijing Military Region, then out of reason, I have to say that the value of 10 "business class on land" commercial vehicles is as high as A small 300 million, such a heavy gift, if Xia Pingyue is not satisfied, Zhang Qihang really doesn't know what to say.

Xia Pingyue was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't believe his ears: "Give us 10 land-based business class cars? Xiao Zhang, are you sure you're not kidding me?"

"Can I make fun of this kind of thing?" Zhang Qihang said with a smile: "Of course, if you think it's unnecessary, then forget it..."

"Who says it's unnecessary?" Xia Pingyue immediately interrupted Zhang Qihang's words, and said with a smile on his face: "Ten business class cars on land, right? Although it's a little less, it's almost the same..."

------------

Zhang Qihang still attaches great importance to the replacement of the An-2/Y-5 transport aircraft with turboprop engines.

After carefully thinking about his previous idea of ​​"exchanging purchases for technology", Zhang Qihang felt that he had taken it for granted: Although the 1000-horsepower turboshaft engine is not so widely used in the military, why did he decide that Iraqi Are Vchenko Design Bureau and Klimov Design Bureau willing to do this technical exchange?

For Huaxia, which can't even manufacture better-quality and more reliable civilian gasoline engines, why didn't the Klimov Design Bureau and the Ivchenko Design Bureau know their own ideas? Slaughtering their own thoughts to maximize their interests?

And as a technical geek, if everything has to be exchanged with others, wouldn't it be funny to the technical geek?So that night, Zhang Qihang made a special call to Sergey Izotov...

"Are you going to replace the An-2 and your country's Yun-5 transport aircraft with turboprop engines? This idea is good," Sergey Izotov immediately agreed with Zhang Qihang's idea after hearing Zhang Qihang's words: " The Antonov Design Bureau had such an idea in the 80s. Now that the Soviet Union has discontinued the production of An-2 and the supporting engines, if there is a company that can provide engine replacement services, based on the number of these two aircrafts , This is indeed a very profitable business.”

"Yes, I think so too," Zhang Qihang nodded affirmatively, and then said: "But Mr. Izotov, there is a problem now, that is, our country does not have a turboprop engine with 1000 horsepower, so I want to know, are you interested in this project?"

Sergey Izotov's voice became visibly excited: "Are you going to develop a 1000-horsepower turboprop engine?"

Zhang Qihang smiled and said: "To be precise, the PT6A series and PT6B series of Pratt & Whitney Canada are a good learning object..."

“普·惠加拿大的PT6A和PT6B？”谢尔盖·伊佐托夫愣了一下，随即说道：“那与克里莫夫设计局的TV3-117系列和TV7-117系列不是一回事么？”

Hearing this, Zhang Qihang was stunned for a moment, then slapped his head: "I'm really confused."

On the basis of the same core engine, two large series of turboshaft and turboprop engines are developed, and under each series, there are engines with different powers to meet different market demands. This seems to be the most beneficial In fact, the practice of globalization is not only the monopoly of capitalism, but also the enterprises of socialist countries.

As the second-generation chief designer of the Klimov Design Bureau, Sergei Izotov is certainly no stranger to the two ace series products of Pratt & Whitney Canada, and the TV3-117 series of turbines he presided over the development of Shaft engines and TV7-117 series turboprop engines share the same technical ideas as Pratt & Whitney Canada’s PT6A series turboprop engines and PT6B series turboshaft engines. Sergei Izotov is all too familiar with a large series and a large enough power coverage at the same time.

After taking pictures of his forehead, Zhang Qihang nodded and said, "That's what happened, now I want to know, Mr. Izotov, are you willing to take over this task?"

"..."

Sergei Izotov on the other end of the phone didn't speak. After a while, he asked, "May I ask, what is the power coverage you require?"

Zhang Qihang said without hesitation: "From 600 horsepower to 1300 horsepower."

The reason why the initial power is set at 600 horsepower is because our country has developed the turboprop-8 on the basis of the turboshaft-9 by "changing the shaft to the propeller". The turboshaft-8 and the turboprop-9 ate the food.

"Is that so..."

听到张起航要求覆盖的功率范围，谢尔盖·伊佐托夫也是松了一口气：即便是最高的1300马力，也远远低于TV3-117系列的1500马力的起始功率，也就是说，这个系列的发动机不会与俄罗斯的TV3-117系列涡轮轴发动机、TV7-117系列涡轮螺旋桨发动机形成竞争关系。

Although he has already left Russia, Sergei Izotov, who is familiar with the current situation in Russia, still hopes to give his home country more competitiveness. Since Zhang Qihang avoided the power coverage of the Klimov Design Bureau, thank you Serge Izotov felt no guilt at all, and he immediately said, "I have no problem. Besides power coverage, do you have any other specific requirements?"

"In addition to complying with the relevant laws and regulations, I hope you can think of ways in terms of fuel consumption, service life and overall manufacturing costs," Zhang Qihang said, not politely, "The overhaul cycle must reach at least 1500 hours. 2500 or even 3000 hours would be better; fuel consumption and overall manufacturing costs should be as low as possible.”

It should be cheap, have a long service life, and have low fuel consumption...

Sergey Izotov smiled wryly: "You really know how to ask..."
