Chapter 584

After listening to Wu Ping's words, Yodel and Hans first looked at each other, then looked up again at the helicopter painted army green in the sky.

The fixed front three-point landing gear, like the S-64, is not equipped with a cargo cabin. The cockpit rolls like a fat head fish, and the whole body looks like a big bug, buzzing around in the sky.

It's called "air pickup"?

Obviously, is it better to transfer the "small forklift" helicopter of Leipzig company to them?

is as like as two peas of the "blue and red" painting, and the rest of them are just like a "small forklift" helicopter. Even the location of the wiper is not the same. Do you want to be shameless?

"This Is it an air pickup helicopter

Hans is not qualified to speak on such occasions, but Jodel is not afraid. After all, he is now the president of Leipzig's Greater China region. According to the operation mechanism of Western companies, Jodel is at the same level as Zhuang Jianye.

So for Wu Ping, the director of this branch factory still has some identity advantages, so he asked.

Wu Ping nodded without hesitation: "yes."

Yodel frowned unconsciously: "but how can I look like a forklift helicopter?"

"Like?" Wu Ping also asked with great interest, and immediately laughed: "Mr. Yodel, you are also a senior person in the aviation field. You will not confine your eyes to the appearance. Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 are still like brothers. Can you say they are a plane?"

After hearing this, Jodel's brow is deeper. If he is a layman in the aviation field, seeing that Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 have the same captain and wingspan, and the same aerodynamic layout, he really feels that these two aircraft are carved from the same mold.

The question is, is Yodel a layman? Although his field of work is rotorcraft, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know anything about other aircrafts, so his evaluation of Wu Ping's words is just sophistry.

"Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 are just the same in aerodynamic layout, but there are still many differences in internal details..." Yodel is ready to crack down on Wu Ping's sophistry. There is no way. If Tengfei group violates the technology transfer agreement and is still producing "small forklift" helicopters, then Leipzig will really lose a lot. So he knows that doing so will offend Tengfei group, and Yodel still has to argue.

As a result, before he finished, Wu Ping held out his hand and interrupted the conversation. With a smile, he said, "you also said that Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 are just the same aerodynamic layout, and so are" small forklift "and" air pickup ".

But in fact, apart from the appearance, there are essential differences between the two. In terms of take-off quality, the "small forklift" is 8.3 tons, while the take-off weight of our "air pickup" is 7.5 tons.

Correspondingly, the maximum lifting weight of the two trucks is different. The maximum lifting weight of the small forklift truck is 3.5 tons, while that of our air pickup truck is 4.5 tons. "

"Wait You just said, "the helicopter in the sky has a maximum take-off weight of 7.5 tons, but it can lift 4.2 tons of goods?"

Listening to Wu Ping's words, Yodel didn't feel much at first. The maximum take-off weight is 800 kg less than that of the "small forklift". Obviously, the engine of Tengfei group still doesn't pass the standard, and the power can't support the maximum take-off weight of 8.3 tons, so he reduced the fuselage structure by reducing the size and material consumption.

With this judgment, Yodel's heart slightly relaxed. Anyway, as long as the helicopter of Tengfei group is not as good as the "small forklift", he just let go. Wu Ping's subsequent sentence that the maximum lifting weight is 4.5 tons instantly blew Yodel's conclusion.

The fuselage weight has been reduced by 800 kg, but the maximum hoisting weight has been increased by a whole ton.

It's not as simple as the ordinary design structure and engine power, but the limit optimization starting from each rivet. So Yodel was shocked, and Yodel was surprised. So Yodel had to interrupt Wu Ping and ask the most concerned questions.

"Of course!" Wu Ping is as crisp as ever: "and in this state, our" air pickup "can fly 468 kilometers. Oh, by the way, just last week, we conducted a plateau test on the Tibetan Plateau. We took off from the airport at an altitude of 2500 meters, lifted 3 tons of materials and easily flew to the Tanggula outpost at an altitude of 5000 meters. The leaders and troops of the Tibetan region praised our" air pickup " ’I'm very satisfied. After a series of tests, I'm going to purchase a batch to enrich the army and air force in Southwest China for the transportation of supplies in Tibetan areas. "

It seems that it is to confirm Wu Ping's words that the "air pickup" helicopter in the distance returns to the sky above the take-off place after flying for a small half circle, then descends and hovers. When the helicopter rises again in a few minutes, something will be hoisted below.

When the helicopter came near, people just saw that an old liberation car was hanging under the helicopter, but it was this scene that made Yodel completely stunned.It's not that this German man worships China's old liberation, but because he knows some parameters of this classic vehicle that has been walking in China for decades, one of which is the empty weight - 3.9 tons.

Although it did not reach the maximum value of 4.5 tons, it exceeded the maximum lifting weight of 3.5 tons of the "small forklift" helicopter. Looking at the "air pickup" turning in the air with ease, climbing and descending, it was obvious that lifting a 3.9-ton truck had little impact on it.

In other words, the "air pickup" helicopter can really lift more than 4 tons of goods.

After discovering this, Yodel only felt that one head was bigger than two. If the "air pickup" helicopter could really carry out the plateau transportation mission, the status of the S-70 helicopter would be greatly reduced. Even in China, because of the maintenance cost, the whole fleet would be grounded. Anyway, there are alternative models, although the load is not as heavy as the S-70, It's better to have everything in your own hands.

The Chinese build as many as they want. If the transport capacity of a single sortie is not enough, the number of helicopters will be increased.

If China really realizes it, not to mention Leipzig, the manufacturer of S-70 helicopters, Sikorsky of the United States will have to sit still.

must know that Sikorski's performance in the S 70 helicopter will show off the performance of the model in Tibetan Plateau, so as to demonstrate the incomparable advanced nature of the S 70 helicopter.

However, once China grounded the entire S-70 fleet and switched to the "air pickup" to carry out the mission on the Tibetan Plateau, as long as Tengfei group said lightly that the failure rate of S-70 helicopters on the Tibetan Plateau was high, which could not meet the needs of China, and then cooperated with several seemingly professional articles, it could directly cause serious damage to the reputation of S-70 helicopters.

Thinking of this, Jodel is trembling. If Tengfei group really challenges the S-70 with "air pickup truck", whether both sides are alive or dead, Jodel doesn't know. Leipzig company in the middle is sure to die.
