Chapter 2100

Alekseyev Design Bureau has had a hard time in recent years.

Ground effect aircraft is a cross era invention, but at the same time, it still faces many problems. It is more like an aircraft than a ship, but at the same time, it also needs the ability to navigate at sea. This equipment that combines ship and aircraft also needs a large transportation capacity, which is not so easy to achieve.

These studies need investment and high investment. After equipping the troops, whether they belong to the Navy or the air force is also a controversial issue. In the past, these were not problems because they were supported.

The supporter behind them is field marshal Ustinov, who has been almost a nightmare in the western world for many years. He is a cold-blooded military commander. The invasion of the mountain country was carried out under his strong auspices. The aggressiveness of the bear country in the cold war is inseparable from his credit, but he left a few years ago.

If marshal Ustinov were still there, he would never let the map be so fooled! Alekseyev was very angry when he thought of this. After the marshal left, the country was in disorder. The new map deceived the people and said that all this was caused by the huge army. Therefore, he began to reduce the army and military projects. Their ground effect aircraft project cost too much, Therefore, it also belongs to the cut projects, and their funds are almost cut off.

It's not just them. Even the most proud ballistic missile of bear country is said to be cut off. That guy wants to make bear country go to hell.

In this complicated mood, Alekseyev looked at an airliner and slowly landed on their runway.

Ground effect aircraft is a special kind of aircraft. Its bottom is more like a ship. Generally speaking, its take-off and landing are in the sea. However, it is now in the research stage and often needs to go to land. Therefore, their ground effect aircraft can also slide from the sea to the land. There is a long runway here.

If it is a small ground effect aircraft, it can also have a landing gear below, which can directly land on the runway, but their KM-1 class is not good. This aircraft is too huge, 500-600 tons, which is called the Caspian monster in the West. It is impossible to support it with a landing gear, and they can only make the bottom of this aircraft more solid, Use your belly to wipe ashore and into the water.

Now, when the plane landed, he looked at the people coming out and shouted, "Hey, Ivan, you still look so young."

Old Mikoyan has died. Ivan is a new generation of designer, and akseleyev is still from that generation. Now, he looks very vicissitudes.

"The engine you want has been brought to you. In fact, I have long suggested that you remove those turbojet engines and replace them with our latest turbofan engine, which can not only reduce fuel consumption, but also reduce weight."

After hearing Ivan's words, Alekseyev's face was speechless. You think I don't want to. Originally, the applications were passed. As a result, when the new general secretary came to power, he was pulled down again. Now, the development funds in their design bureau have been cut off. Where are there new engines.

Fortunately, this time is finally coming. In contrast, the life of Migao Yang design bureau is much better. If he was not obsessed with this ground effect aircraft, he would be better off entering an aviation design bureau or a ship design bureau than now.

While they were communicating, Qin Guan also came down. When he came down, he noticed the big guy in the distance.

KM-1, nicknamed Caspian monster in the west, well, it's better to hear the name behind it. It's really a monster.

General aircraft have engines at the back and wings at the front, but this kind of thing is very strange. In front of the nose, there is a special short wing. On the short wing, eight vd-7 turbojet engines are placed side by side. These engines do one thing to provide more air flow to the rear wings and enhance ground effect.

In fact, the turbojet engine in front is not suitable. After all, it is used to generate air flow. Therefore, it is more suitable to use turbofan, even the turbofan engine with large culvert ratio, which can be more efficient and economical. Qin Guan looked at the special aircraft in front. It is precisely because the side-by-side engine in front makes it look more ugly, Just got the title of a Caspian monster.

The tail is a T-shaped vertical tail, which is also the easiest to understand. If the layout is normal, it is easy to be hit by seawater. After all, this thing flies on the water.

"Let me introduce you. This is president Qin." Ivan migyang said to Alexeyev.

Qin Guan stretched out his hand and shook it with the other party: "I have heard of the reputation of the Caspian monster for a long time. This time, I can finally see it. Mr. Alekseyev, we very much hope to know more about this aircraft. Personally, I admire you very much."

Although this guy is not young, after all, he is the general director of the research project. Even in his long development career, this guy came to test fly in person.

For example, more than ten years ago, this guy was driving a small ground effect aircraft. When taking off, he was suddenly hit by the waves, and the tail completely broke off. If it was an ordinary plane, it would definitely have crashed, but Alekseyev, the designer in the cockpit at that time, made a decision and didn't stop. Instead, he increased the engine power and flew the aircraft without tail wings back to the shore.

This accident has also made their aircraft famous. This is a living example. In the war, they can continue to fly even if their tail is knocked off!

If you look at them now, you can know their embarrassment. This guy can meet foreign guests like himself for two engines. How poor they have to be.

"You are our good friend, which is also an aspect of my acceptance of your investigation." Alekseyev said. He tried to remind himself that it is not for the two engines, but for friendship. Yes, it is for friendship. Last year, the person in front of him went to the crashed nuclear power plant to rescue himself. He is a friend of bear country!

"Now, can we visit the Caspian monster? Please forgive my name. Now, the world calls it that. It's a kind of respect. Besides, I don't know its model." Qin Guan said with a smile. Of course, he came here to see these big guys.
