"Wu Zhijiu, for us, has only solved the problem of availability, and the number of our domestic equipment is not large." when we came to the helicopter base, the person in charge introduced it to Qin Guan.
Wuzhijiu is improved on the basis of Zhijiu, and Zhijiu comes from a109k helicopter. The three are almost in the same line. Due to the power problem of the engine, this helicopter belongs to the five ton class, that is, it is just enough. This helicopter has a small load and carries fewer missiles. When fighting in the air, The mobility will not be particularly high. Therefore, for the army aviation corps, it only solves the problem of whether there is or not. Because of the limited output, it has not been sold to the outside world so far.
At the same time, another reason is that ordinary Zhijiu helicopters can be converted into armed helicopters after they are equipped with special short wings and operating systems. In contrast, the army prefers to purchase ordinary Zhijiu helicopters. Usually, when transport helicopters are attached at any time in case of situation, they become special helicopters, This is obviously more appropriate than cost-effectiveness.
Now, the person in charge briefly introduced it to Qin Guan. Other guests came here. They are still interested in their own armed helicopters. At least from the appearance, the double cockpits arranged high and low in front and back, short wings on both sides, weapons, etc. are frightening.
"Therefore, now we have launched a new project, that is, to develop a ten ton helicopter. According to our plan, we first develop a ten ton general-purpose helicopter, and then develop our special ten ton armed helicopter on this basis."
Hearing this, Qin Guan couldn't help sighing: "yes, our helicopter industry is commendable. We didn't wait or sleep on our past achievements. We have been carrying forward the past and developing our new equipment. It's good, good."
Qin Guan had too many projects to participate in, so he couldn't do everything. In those years, he didn't pay attention to the helicopter except that he led the helicopter bidding and finally chose the helicopter from noodle country. Later, he exhibited Wu Zhijiu at the air show and came to the scene to celebrate.
After all, the helicopter is only a small aspect, and the demand is not high. In the case of limited military expenditure, there is no large amount of equipment, which is not at the same level as the advanced fighters of the air force. Qin Guan didn't expect that the helicopter industry didn't wait when he didn't plan, but aimed at the world's advanced level and kept moving forward!
Other people were visiting Wu Zhijiu. At the same time, they didn't understand Chinese. Therefore, Qin Guan continued to chat with the designer.
"Of course, when we say self-study, we also elevate ourselves. In fact, we just want to reverse map the Black Hawk," the designer continued.
The helicopter industry has stagnated for decades, and then introduced the plateau type of swallows. Then what? How to develop? In the case of insufficient technical reserves, reverse mapping is the best way. Throughout the world, Black Hawk is the best medium-sized helicopter, not one of them.
Looking at the parallel time and space in the later age, the 20 of the Han Dynasty and the Black Hawk are similar. They know that although the Han Dynasty is equipped with a large number of rice 171 helicopters, they did not choose rice 171 to survey and imitate. Instead, they made only a few dozen Black Hawks in the country. This is because the helicopter is technically advanced and has excellent performance and is worth copying. Is the best choice.
In addition to performance, there are life, logistics and maintenance. Just look at their tool kit, and then look at the more than 100 fuses of MI 171, and the Black Hawk has no fuses at all. You know who is more advanced.
Now, China chooses Black Hawk to imitate it. First, it will get out the ten ton general-purpose helicopter, and then, on this basis, it will develop a special armed helicopter, which is the most correct route.
"Yes, is there any difficulty now?" Qin Guan asked.
"The main difficulty is the engine," said the person in charge.
The helicopter uses a turboshaft engine, which is a kind of aeroengine with small volume and high power. Han also introduced the supporting 470kw turboshaft engine ahye 1k1 of Turbomeca company from the time of introducing swallows. It is the first time to come into contact with the world's advanced turboshaft engine technology and want to build a ten ton helicopter, The power of the engine needs to reach 1300 kW!
The engines of general-purpose helicopters and armed helicopters are one set, such as black hawk and Apache. The engines are T700. A set of power package can facilitate logistics maintenance and reduce procurement costs. It has many advantages. It must be difficult for our side to expand from 470kw to 1300 kW, or even higher power.
After all, up to now, the country's lack of aeroengines is still the largest. It depends not only on capital investment, but also on the accumulation of time. At the same time, it is not the immediate person in charge who can solve it. Therefore, what they need is their own support.
Qin Guan nodded: "we should set up a special department. We should not only reverse map the T700 engine of Black Hawk, but also improve and improve its power on the basis of this engine. If it can exceed 1600 kW, our new ten ton helicopter will have better power."
In terms of helicopter engines, China has just started, but in terms of fighter engines, China has been able to produce three generations of aircraft engines, which has given itself a certain capital. In future generations, the engines of zhi20 helicopters are 1600 kW. It is precisely because of such powerful power that the performance of this kind of helicopter is extremely excellent, It has become the main general-purpose helicopter in the future.
I have been searching for Black Hawk helicopters from everywhere and bought them from Eagle country several times. However, in the long run, it is most appropriate to produce them by myself. Therefore, the R & D of helicopters, especially the R & D of engines, is imminent.
With the industrial foundation of fighter engines, coupled with the information exchanged from the weapons cemetery, advanced ten ton helicopters and supporting engines, we should be able to make faster progress.
"If we have enough money in the future, we can buy some." at this time, lieutenant general mulendez was also moved when he got down from the helicopter and looked at the advanced instruments and equipment inside. However, there are too many things to buy this time. The problem of capital is the biggest. Where can he find so much foreign exchange!
"We are always looking forward to it," Qin Guan said.
It's impossible to lead the other party to visit and the other party can buy it. This is just a foreshadowing. There are still many opportunities in the future. This time, it's just the air force, the Navy and the army!
