Chapter 878

Although subversion has little effect on actual operations, it has an inestimable impact on daily equipment and training.

It's the so-called "raising troops for a thousand days and using troops for a while". Although it's easy to use, the key lies in the daily maintenance, and the key lies in the military pay and money.

Both turbofan engine and turboprop engine are the derivative of jet engine in essence. Although there are differences in maintenance, they are not so bad. Because of this, the maintenance cost of four engine aircraft is higher than that of double engine aircraft.

In addition, twin engine aircraft also has incomparable advantages in fuel economy. Some people may think that turboprop engine will save fuel because of its unique structure.

To tell you the truth, it's not necessarily true. If you look at the engines of an-12 made in the Soviet Union, they are four oil tigers.

The engine on the C-130 is not much better. After all, when the C-130 was designed, fuel economy was not taken into account as an indicator, so it is also a gold gobbler of fuel.

This is also an important reason why, after the end of the fourth Middle East War, the U.S. Air Force proposed economy when it began to consider the successor aircraft of the C-130.

I'm really scared by the oil embargo of Middle East countries. I want to get a new transport plane with better performance and consumption ratio.

That's how Boeing's yc-14 and McDonnell Douglas's yc-15 compete.

Later, however, the Americans used other means to bind oil to the US dollar to solve this problem, so the US military's replacement plan was not so urgent. Anyway, how did the oil price jump? Did the American money printing machine dominate?

As a result, the so-called C-130 replacement plan has come to an end. Anyway, the US military has US dollar endorsement, regardless of fuel level.

At the same time, the Soviet Union was even more arrogant than the Americans, because they were the biggest oil exporting countries. Lao Tzu was the one who produced this kind of thing. All over the world, they had the oil milk of the big brother of the Soviet Union. Could our own people lack it?

So what's the oil tiger and what's the consumption ratio? It's nothing to do with the big brother of the Soviet Union? It's easy to do. It's hard to build an oil well. There's nothing else. It's a big site with enough resources!

The problem is that the U.S. and the Soviet Union have thick arms and a thick family background. They don't care. How can other countries have thin arms and legs?

What's more, the C-130 and an-12, two medium-sized transport planes that are sold in the world, are old guys developed and produced in the 1950s and 1960s. Although there have been various minor improvements over the past few decades, their basic structures are still the same old objects and ideas as they were decades ago.

If the combat styles and weapons and equipment of various countries remain unchanged, it will be nothing.

However, with the development of the times and the progress of science and technology, the armies of all countries are not standing still, but are accelerating their development. It may be that what they used to be able to do with two light armored vehicles can now be done with two light tanks.

The problem is that a few decades ago, the C-130 or an-12 had no problem in transporting two light armored vehicles. Now let alone two light tanks, they may not be able to be transported even if they are reduced by half, because the size of the light tanks exceeds the size of the engine room. What should we do?

Order from the United States or the Soviet Union? That's absolutely because there's no room for the coffin of the national treasury. I'm ready to stretch my neck and let people kill me.

Don't order anything else? Sorry, there is no semicolon except C-130, which is an-12.

Just as all countries are watching the world's medium-sized transport aircraft gradually grow silent and lifeless, and feel that it will be ten or twenty years before Ogg can break the existing pattern, the yun-17 of a big country in the East is like a startling goose tearing apart the twilight, lighting up the hope of all countries looking forward to the new China transport.

In addition to the cost advantages of the twin engines and the actual performance of the six to eight ton medium-sized rescue helicopters, countries that have used the C-130 or an-12 for more than ten or twenty years and have long been made to vomit by these two grandfathers will certainly flock to them.

"With a maximum load of 23.5 tons, it can carry out a 2400 km delivery mission. Although this is not as good as the C-130, it is much better than the an-12."

"What do you think? The maximum load of the C-130 is more than that of yun-17. The problem is that the delivery distance of the same load is only about 1500 km, which is nearly 1000 km less than that of yun-17."

"That's right. Look here. The cabin is 12.7 meters long, 3.4 meters wide and 2.8 meters high. It's completely straight to the cargo warehouse. It's not only the half hanging cargo warehouse of Wan Sheng an-12, but also more reasonable than the size configuration of C-130. At least the French light tank we are equipped with can go up, not to mention the American AH-1 Cobra helicopter I can hold it

"That's right. General armored vehicles, light tanks and other combat vehicles can be put down. However, even a nine ton helicopter like the Black Hawk has no problem. It can be seen that the carrying capacity of yun-17 is still very strong."

"At present, we just don't know the actual situation and the basic flight quality. If both of them are OK, we may issue an evaluation invitation to the manufacturer of yun-17.""We're not. To be honest, I've just sent someone to contact a big country in the East, but it's too busy there to reply..."

"Let me say that the actual efficiency and flying quality of yun-17 is 50% of that of Il-76!"

Just as the military observers were talking about the actual situation of this model with the basic performance data of yun-17, a loud voice suddenly rang out beside them. Following the reputation, I saw that Russian military observer norokov was looking at the people who were attracted by him with a happy smile, and said confidently: "this is not what I said It is the answer given by our Russian experts participating in the yun-17 project. "

As soon as this statement came out, one of the officers and observers on the scene was counted as one. They were all so surprised that they opened their mouths wide. But before these people could react, norokov's astonishing words spread to the public again: "yes, since the comrades of a big country in the East have made it public, I can't hide it.

That's right. Yun-17 is the product of cooperation between Russia and a big country in the East. It uses a lot of Il-76 technology. The most significant one is that yun-17 uses two Russian made d-30kp turbofan engines. Careful people should pay attention to this... "

Speaking of this, norokov pauses on purpose so that the military observers can digest it. Obviously, these military observers are not giving in vain. Naturally, they think that the yun-17 that landed before actually used the same narrow pod engine as the Il-76 transport plane. They can't help believing norokov's words.

Norokov saw that everyone was digesting almost, and the rhythm was firmly in his hands. He was ready to continue the topic with a bright smile. But before he spoke, there was a deep roar in the distant sky, and soon a yun-17 appeared in front of the personnel's field of vision against the background of the snow mountain.

As a result, it didn't matter. The sharp eyed military observer immediately pointed to the closer yun-17 and yelled, "look, this yun-17 engine is not a small bypass ratio d-30kp turbofan engine, but a large bypass ratio, a large bypass ratio..."
