After hearing this, a senior officer in the air force uniform standing behind the head of the headquarters couldn't see the smile. If Zhuang Jianye was here, it would be no stranger to see him.
Some time ago, at Ning Xiaoxue's wedding banquet, he showed up his boss and drank all the heroes of the take-off factory. By the way, he personally poured Zhuang Jianye, the leader, into the hospital. It was this old leader before Zheng Quanli, the head of an air force department.
The reason why they go all out at the wine table is that the latest products of 15 take-off factories, the falcon-1 gyroplane, are flying away from afar.
Originally, this model was not tailor-made for the army, but was created by Tengfei factory to train its own pilots.
After all, it's not a day or two for Tengfei factory to get involved in people flying airplanes. Naturally, its own flight team can't be less. Otherwise, one day it will be possible to build a plane that can carry people to the sky. The customer said, then you can take me to the sky to have a try. What can you do?
Although some pilots can be recruited from the air force for emergency, it is not a long-term solution. After all, there is no shortage of pilots in civil aviation. Therefore, the pilots from the air force are generally taken away by civil aviation. As for the foreign pilots, Zhuang Jianye doesn't even think about it.
Those ghost guys are very expensive, but they are very busy. If you know it, you will come here. If you don't know it, you will get a father from abroad.
Therefore, on second thoughts, Zhuang Jianye simply took up the grass-roots team to train himself. In any case, there is a shortage of everything in China, that is, there is no shortage of people. It is not combat talents with super high technical requirements like fighter planes, but it is a basic course of general aviation. It should not be a problem to accumulate slowly.
Based on this idea, Zhuang Jianye set up a so-called flying enthusiast club in Tengfei factory, and began to select talents with flying potential by means of activities outside the factory.
Theoretical courses are easy to do, but practical operation is a little boring. Zhuang Jianye intends to let members of the club touch the real guy. It's better to go up and feel it twice. The problem is that the control of airplanes is very strict, and access is very difficult. It's not that you can touch the joystick with money.
But just because of this, some laws and regulations are not perfect, and the definition of the low altitude field is very vague. So Zhuang Jianye took a look at it and simply made some parafoil aircraft and rotorcraft as the initial practical aircraft. It is not only safe, but also can avoid the existing risks in the name of sports. After all, the flight club itself is classified as a sports organization, which can be described as a sports organization in foreign countries meet the eye everywhere.
Thanks to the relationship with the sports department when selling aircraft models in those years, Tengfei factory soon won the support of the local sports department. As for the hardware equipment of Parafoil and rotorcraft, it is really not difficult for Tengfei factory, an aviation manufacturing enterprise that has accumulated certain technology.
Let the designers of the training center do a design, save some leftover materials from the workshop production, and then install the four stroke engine used in the UAV, and the rest is to fly as you want.
Through these two models, Tengfei factory has indeed trained a group of flight enthusiasts. Taking this as the backbone, the club of flight enthusiasts of Tengfei factory has gradually spread to the society, attracting many flight enthusiasts.
Ning Xiaodong, one of the old Nings, is the most enthusiastic. Whenever he goes back to Xingzhou, no matter how many things he has in hand, he has to drive to Huancheng and drive the two planes in the air for a few turns to enjoy himself. Otherwise, he doesn't feel like he's going back to his hometown.
Sometimes even when it comes to business, boss Ning would bring those partners over and drive the rotorcraft or parafoil to the sky in person. During this period, he would tell his business stories and ideals of life. Finally, he would show his unique hobbies and unique vision by flying.
That's called a force.
In recent years, there are very few people who can make an ordinary airliner. Let alone those who drive around in circles, they are more cool than those who play golf or bowling. Therefore, every time Ning Xiaodong uses this move, it is not good.
Because those businessmen believe that the absolute strength of Ningda boss, who can go around in circles at any time, has further encouraged the fanaticism of Ningda boss.
So one day, the fanatical boss Ning came to feel his elder brother-in-law's majestic posture in the sky with his unmarried Zheng Quan Li, because he felt that Zhuang Jianye's younger brother-in-law was no longer saved, so it was better to cultivate a new brother-in-law, otherwise his elder brother-in-law's sense of existence would be too low.
After a cool show There will be no future.
Because Zheng Quanli has been completely attracted by the rotorcraft. Unlike the parafoil, the cloth made parafoil is easy to be damaged. Not to mention, it also has certain requirements for wind power, which is absolutely fatal to the flexibility of field operations.
In contrast to rotorcraft, the propeller is only an auxiliary means to enhance the lift. The metal material is strong and firm. If necessary, it can also be used as emergency landing equipment to make a vertical forced landing. Unlike parafoil, which needs to run, it is safer and more durable.
It is very suitable for penetration and surprise operations of airborne troops.
After Zheng Quanli, a professional soldier, discovered this, he didn't care about his brother-in-law's feelings. Without saying a word, he went to contact Zhuang Jianye to ask if the rotorcraft had any detailed information, because he thought it was very helpful for their airborne troops to improve their maneuverability and combat capability.An ordinary training aircraft actually got the interest of the military. Zhuang Jianye might have missed such an opportunity, so the two sides soon approached each other. Then Zheng Quanli's troops came to Tengfei factory many times to inspect the rotorcraft, and finally decided to sell 15 at the price of 30000 yuan.
After that, according to the opinions of the army, Tengfei factory made a series of improvements to the training rotorcraft, so that it can carry three fully armed combat members and hang ordinary 100 kg class air bombs on both sides.
So far, the peregrine falcon-1 gyroplane equipped with airborne troops was officially born.
"This little thing is not big, but it can play a big role when used well. Is it not difficult to operate and train?"
Just when Zheng Quanli's old leader thought with relief that he had been fighting with Zhuang Jianye until his blood pressure rose and he was hospitalized, the head of the headquarters raised his telescope again, looked at the air defense forces of the imaginary enemy troops who came out of the position dejected, and suddenly asked.
Zheng Quanli's old leader quickly replied: "it's not difficult. As long as we don't fear heights, master certain flight knowledge and have a little training, we can be proficient in driving. At that time, we were interested in this kind of equipment with simple structure, low operation difficulty and low price. So we tried to equip it for the army's airborne training.
After all, the helicopters of our airborne troops are too few and precious, and the fuel cost for one deployment is enough for two companies' board expenses for one month. So we found an alternative method of rotorcraft. From this exercise, we have achieved some results. "
The head of the headquarters nodded, then put down his telescope: "it's good, but it's still too conservative. If your gyroplane doubles, the effect of the attack will be better."
In a word, in the heart of Zheng Quanli's old leader, he could only smile bitterly. Well, it was in vain to fight for wine.
