However, although the army, navy and air force have shown great interest in the z-13max tilt rotor aircraft, they are looking forward to the future zb-225 tilt rotor aircraft.
However, as the saying goes, the future is bright and the road is tortuous. The tilting rotor is a problem all over the world. No one can guarantee that this kind of cross era aircraft will develop smoothly.
The general cycle of 8 to 15 years is OK, but what if the tilt rotor drags for two or three decades, or even four or five decades? Do you want to hold this thing?
Therefore, after some research, the headquarters felt that the risk of hanging in such a tree as the tilt rotor aircraft was too great, and it was necessary to have a backup. Once the tilt rotor aircraft failed, there would be other high-speed helicopter projects to replace it, so that the rapid reaction force would not lag behind the mainstream of the world in core equipment.
So they are ready to mount a high-speed helicopter backup project.
It is reasonable to say that the backup project should find another helicopter manufacturer to be the main business unit, and the headquarters does have this idea. One is that the eggs can't be put in one basket; the other is that if the backup project really develops, it can't compete with the tilt rotor aircraft of Tengfei group, and maybe it can promote the domestic helicopter technology The development of science and technology.
Based on this, the headquarters handed over the backup development project to Binjiang helicopter factory, which was facing difficulties in operation at that time, and prepared to use this project and the localization of zhi9 to force a wave of blood transfusion to Binjiang helicopter factory.
At first, Binjiang factory was very interested in this project. After all, it was funded by the state and supported by the headquarters. No matter how it was done, Binjiang factory did not lose money, so it made rapid progress at the beginning.
The reason is very simple. Binjiang factory lacks the core technology of helicopter. In order to realize the localization of zhi9, it has introduced a complete set of production equipment from France. It is no problem to stumbling over the production of zhi9, but if it is this set of things, the first one who is not willing is the French.
Zhi9 hasn't figured out the localization yet. Your Binjiang factory wants to start a new stove and make new models. What's the matter? Hard wings!
As a result, the French representative in China personally took charge of the Binjiang plant, and those involved in the experimental verification of helicopters were not allowed to use French equipment and technology.
This is equivalent to sealing up the Binjiang factory from the root.
But this did not make Binjiang plant yield, but also aroused the fighting spirit of Binjiang plant. Even if the French do not let them use their equipment and technology, can't Binjiang plant?
As a result It proves that Binjiang factory is not good enough.
In addition to the constraints of the French, the most important thing is the materials and engines. Binjiang factory really can't solve them. Even if it can, Binjiang factory doesn't have the so-called high-end production equipment and processing technology.
To put it bluntly, Binjiang factory has no core technology of its own. It is just a French "dolphin" helicopter outsourcing assembly plant. What do you want him to do?
Of course, if Tengfei group can support one or two, it can encourage it, but the question is, why should Tengfei group help its competitors?
You should know that in the year of zhi-12, Binjiang factory made a lot of troubles behind it, so that the sales volume of zhi-12 is not urgent up to now, one third of zhi-9. As for zhi-15, Binjiang factory with a group of friends and businessmen sprayed it to death.
At this time, if you want to help Tengfei group, even if Binjiang factory is easy to open this mouth, Tengfei group is really unreasonable.
In fact, Binjiang factory has no face to go directly to Tengfei group, but through the internal relationship of aviation industry, you have asked if you can get some high-end aviation materials for helicopters, turbine shaft engines and some aviation special equipment for processing high-end parts from Tengfei group.
At that time, Zhuang Jianye's reply was very polite: "we do have these things, but recently there are a lot of orders at home and abroad, which may not be available for a while. Otherwise, three years later, I'll do it for you, and the price is not much. I'll give you a 15% discount, 1.2 billion people's dollars. We'll install, train and debug all in one, and guarantee the package of teaching and training!"
The leader of Binjiang factory who got the reply directly patted the table in his office and scolded Zhuang Jianye for not being a thing.
Three years, wait three years, daylily is TM cool!
That's all. In the last three years, we still have to give Tengfei group 1.2 billion yuan. I dare say that we've got a 15% discount, and we're going to rob it!
However, the leaders of Binjiang factory scolded and scolded, but they did not dare to go to Tengfei group to find Zhuang Jianye. There was no way. The contradiction between the two sides was too deep. If the superior units had not turned around, they would have been in the head of the man and the dog, so the project had to be delayed first.
The problem is that the Binjiang factory can afford it, but the headquarters can't afford it. Your Binjiang factory wants funds and policies. As a result, it doesn't even have a hair. What? What about the silly boy?
So the headquarters was also angry, and asked Binjiang factory to come up with a practical design plan within one year, and the theoretical prototype machine was officially offline within three years.
Binjiang factory, which has no core technology, can't make a theoretical prototype in such a short time, even if it can make Xianglai. You should know that not all domestic aerospace manufacturing enterprises are called take-off, and they have the efficiency of changing ~ ~ ~ state.Therefore, the leaders of Binjiang factory had to go to Beijing in an emergency, prepare to find the old leaders, make good relations with them, and by the way, go to the superior departments and the headquarters to throw a few tears. It's not easy for them to overthrow the eldest son of the Republic these years.
Get ready to use this set of combo fists and delay for another time.
After all, this experimental verification research project seems to be small, but the national funding is ten percent. This is a stable and reliable source of money for Binjiang factory, which has problems eating. How can it give up?
So let alone let the leaders of Binjiang plant shed a few tears, it is not a problem to run three circles in the capital in the middle of the night.
What's more, he doesn't have to work so hard. Usually, without tears, the superior departments and the headquarters compromise. After all, there are less than five domestic manufacturers that can produce helicopters, and no one will watch them starve to death. Therefore, to a certain extent, Binjiang factory is an alternative way to coerce the princes.
However, when the leader of Binjiang factory came to Beijing with full confidence and was ready to do the same thing again, delaying his time for eight, nine or ten years, the leader suddenly found out that all the old leaders he was ready to trust and friendship with and the heads of various departments were not there. After inquiring, he found out that all of them had gone to the Beijing suburb aviation proving ground.
The leaders of Binjiang factory didn't care either. Instead, they felt that they could get together and speak better. So they quickly asked the driver to drive to the outskirts of Beijing. As a result, when the leaders of Binjiang factory were in the car thinking about how to sell well in front of the leaders, the car which was near the aviation test ground in the outskirts of Beijing suddenly stopped. The leader of Binjiang factory who didn't wear the seat belt directly contacted the front seat There was a close encounter.
The leader of Binjiang factory was furious and asked the driver, "how do you drive?"
However, the driver didn't reply. Instead, he reached out to the front and motioned to his leader with a dull face: "leader, do you see that thing? Is it the UFO in the book? "
The leader of Binjiang factory took advantage of the situation to look at his angry face. When he saw something in the air, he was also stunned!
