The v-22 "Osprey" tiltrotor aircraft is a star model in the U.S. arsenal. Compared with ordinary transport helicopters, it has high load, fast speed, and long range. Compared with ordinary fixed-wing transport aircraft, it has With the advantage of vertical take-off and landing, it can adapt to various terrains.

Its appearance has greatly widened the gap between the U.S. Army and other countries in the world in terms of air tactical power projection.For any army that knows a country, its combat effectiveness is obviously not as simple as one plus one equals two!No country is not interested in such a new concept weapon.

China is no exception.

However, if you want to develop an aircraft like the Osprey, not only does it involve money, the technical difficulties are beyond the grasp of ordinary countries.

At the China TJ Helicopter Expo last year, China once displayed a model of a quadrotor helicopter code-named Blue Whale. Its technical parameters are much more advanced than that of the Osprey, which excited many military fans.

But anyone who is a little knowledgeable will understand that the Blue Whale is at best a concept machine model. When it really matures, it will be at least ten years later, and I don’t know what it will be like by then!

More importantly, the PLA's current army aviation force is not very strong. All helicopters add up to only six or seven hundred helicopters (there were only more than 500 during the Wenchuan Earthquake). The main transport aircraft of the army aviation force is the Russian-made Mi-171 , the total number is less than three hundred.

Moreover, in the past two years, the military has focused most of its attention on the Z-10 and Z-19 star armed helicopters, and its investment in transport helicopters is not high.

There are technical hurdles here.Funding is also a big issue.

But the Osprey is different!

This aircraft represents the future development direction of the helicopter industry, once China has an Osprey that can be copied.Li Yuanqing and Chang Siwei have every means to persuade the top management to increase investment in rotorcraft. With the large-scale cooperation with the Strategic Deception Bureau, it is not impossible to produce a stocked version of the Osprey in a short period of time.

Therefore, when Li Yuanqing and Chang Siwei heard that Chen Xin intended to sell an MV-22 Osprey to China, they immediately became excited.

This is a good thing that you can't find it even with a lantern!

"According to the latest information we have, this Osprey has been modified by the War Bureau and installed with an intelligent flight assistance system, which can greatly help pilots reduce workload and shorten training time. Feedback from Xu Zhifeng and the others Take a look. This aircraft is quick to learn and flexible to operate, and they have been able to successfully fly the Osprey for actual aircraft training in just a few days."

"Chen Xin plans to sell this Osprey to us for how much?"

"For 5000 million US dollars, Chen Xin also said that the Bureau of War and Ignorance is willing to assist us in imitating the Osprey, but they have to take a cut from it!"

"Help us imitate?"

Li Yuanqing and Chang Siwei were taken aback.This is important news. It is the first time that the other party has made such a statement after cooperating with the Bureau of War and Ignorance for so long.

It doesn't matter if it's 5000 million US dollars plus commission, the important thing is imitation.

With the development of informatization and long-range precision strike technology, army forces around the world have begun to gradually transform. The armies of the United States, Britain, France, Russia, Japan and other countries have successively carried out transformations in miniaturization, light weight, and digitalization. experiment.The same is true for the Chinese Army.

For example, the division-to-brigade movement, such as upgrading the Army Aviation Corps to a brigade-level unit.

It is only limited by the development level of China's helicopter industry, and the strength of the PLA Army Aviation Force is currently limited.

But if a model similar to the Osprey can be equipped on a large scale, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Army can be raised to a higher level, and it is not impossible to even form a unit similar to the US 101st Air Assault Division.

The temptation is too great!

……

"Chen Xin. Can you really help us make an Osprey imitation?" Qiao Ting stared at Chen Xin with big beautiful eyes.

Inside Mogadishu International Airport.Four Ospreys are being maintained in the hangar, and the remaining three are undergoing flight training outside.

The two walked out of the hangar side by side. Under the blue sky, three black spots could be vaguely seen flying in formation in the distance.

Qiao Ting did not expect that Chen Xin would propose such a tempting condition. At least there was no cooperation in this area before. Even when Osborne negotiated with the country on behalf of the Bureau of War and Negligence, it only involved arms sales, but there was no Said to help imitate.

Chen Xin said with a smile: "Imitation is not very difficult. As long as the materials and craftsmanship can keep up, we can help you create a production line of fake Osprey. However, the current situation in Somalia is like this. This matter can only be done after I return to China." !"

An excited look appeared on Qiao Ting's face, and she nodded repeatedly: "It's not a problem, anyway, it's not too late in the past few months...By the way, besides the Osprey, can we cooperate in other areas? For example, imitating f119 , 117s turbofan engine or something, the price is negotiable..."

Qiao Ting looked at Chen Xin with hopeful eyes. If she could cooperate with the War Bureau to manufacture f119 and 117s, wouldn't it solve the heart disease of the domestic aviation industry for many years? It's exciting to think about it!

"This is impossible!"

"why?"

"The time is not yet ripe!"

"The timing isn't ripe yet?" Qiao Ting didn't understand what Chen Xin meant, and said, "Chen Xin, can you...can you make your words clearer?"

Chen Xin shook his head and said with a smile: "You can't say it now, but you will understand later!"

The reason why we agreed to help China develop an Osprey production line is not without reason.

At present, the biggest gap between China's aviation industry and the United States lies in material technology. Although Chen Xin can make the most advanced aero-engine alloy in the world, what's the use of not mass producing it?

Just like when China bought the Black Hawk helicopter from Laomei, the experts took it apart and looked at it, and they understood all the structural principles, but TM couldn't make it!

The reason is the same for the counterfeit f119 and 117s. The alloy material technology needs to be accumulated over many years, and it cannot be caught up in just a few years.

In addition, although the engine and rotor of the Osprey also involved material issues, Chen Xin did not intend to adopt the complicated mechanical structure of Laomei.

Wall-E has just sent back news from China that the overall structure of the Longshou Mountain underground base is about to be completed, and it is only waiting for Gang Yaner to go back to install mechanical equipment.

Chen Xin murmured: "It's time to test the super metal battery!"
