Of course, ambition is that on the one hand, the acquisition of Ukraine's "Varyag" aircraft carrier is another matter. It has been more than two years since Ning Xiaodong was unintentionally involved in this matter a few years ago. The cost of bidding is not much, but only 20 million US dollars, but the other costs are frightening.
The berthing fee and berthing fee calculated from 1995; Demolition cost of equipment on board; The assessment fee for the situation of ships and the benefit fee for the key figures in the political and commercial circles of Ukraine
All of them add up to several times the cost of buying a ship.
But even so, the scrapped aircraft carrier signed the purchase contract from ningxiaodong has not stopped its powerful ability to swallow gold. The aircraft carrier has no power, and it needs at least three ocean going tugs to set sail for home, which is a big expense.
Although the aircraft carrier has been scrapped, it also needs personnel to operate and navigate on it when towing, and personnel expenditure is also indispensable.
It also takes money to pay for the berthing fees and the shipping fees when passing through the Straits and important places.
As for the situation of deliberately creating difficulties, temporarily detaining or refusing to go with others on the road, we need a small amount of money to smash up.
In this way, without a total cost of $300 million to $400 million, it is difficult for this aircraft carrier to be safe.
With ningxiaodong's strength, where can we get the pure capital of 300-400 million US dollars? Unless we sell most of the old money, it's almost the same. Therefore, ningxiaodong's series of operations are the result of the full support of take-off investment.
And China's take-off support for the "Varyag" aircraft carrier is not only looking forward to the strength of the Navy, but also a selfishness, that is, the Navy with an aircraft carrier must be equipped with carrier based aircraft. As a large aviation and aerospace production enterprise that has been exploring carrier based aircraft for many years, it is tantamount to ushering in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Zhuang Jianye is a person who is good at seizing the opportunity, and naturally will not let go of the dividend of the great development of the Navy. Therefore, he not only increases the technical reserves in the aspect of carrier based aircraft, but also derives a series of supporting models according to the needs of the Navy, among which the vertical take-off and landing fighter is the focus of a series of matching models, and even surpasses the fixed wing carrier based aircraft to some extent.
The reason for this is very simple. The outline of the Navy's development plan in recent years clearly puts forward that the future development goal of the navy is two aircraft carriers and four amphibious attack ships, with these six large surface ships as the core to form an ocean formation, so as to ensure territorial integrity, safeguard energy channel security and overseas commercial interests.
This passage in the outline is not long, but it is clear that an important idea of the navy is to equate the amphibious attack ship with the aircraft carrier, which is the amphibious attack ship aircraft carrier in the world Navy.
The problem is that the aircraft carrier has fixed wing carrier based aircraft and supporting aviation guidance and reconnaissance equipment, which can control a large area of sea area and carry out anti submarine, anti-ship and ground attack operations. Its comprehensive combat effectiveness is extremely strong.
Due to the limitation of deck and tonnage, amphibious attack ship is only suitable for taking off and landing helicopters, and has no aviation advantage of fixed wing aircraft. How can it assume the role of aircraft carrier?
The solution of Britain, Italy and Spain is to use harrier VTOL fighter as the carrier based aircraft of this kind of surface ships to carry out the combat mission of fixed wing aircraft.
After the successful development of the F-35B aircraft in the United States, they will directly change their guns and upgrade their carrier based aircraft fleet to the fourth generation.
With only one special aircraft, the navy can spend less money and have the combat capability no less than that of an aircraft carrier, which is a good deal.
Coincidentally, this trend has not attracted the attention of domestic friends and businessmen. They will try their best to stay on fixed wing aircraft in the traditional sense. Zhuang Jianye finds that there is a chance for China to take off and really break through the siege on combat aircraft.
There is no way. Once the VTOL fighter is approved by the Navy, China's take-off will get rid of the embarrassing situation of being either a supporting player or a supporting actor in recent years, and then joint development. It will really become a domestic military fighter player.
At that time, it can not be said to be on an equal footing with the success group and Northeast Airlines Group in terms of combat aircraft. At least, the tripartite pattern will stand up.
This is a miracle for an enterprise with less than 20 years of development history.
Look at this point, Zhuang Jianye does not hesitate to make efforts, because so many years of experience tells Zhuang Jianye, only to be unique, can become unique!
In this case, of course, we should move towards the only goal.
Therefore, after a series of tests on the Jacques-141 VTOL fighter, it was found that it did not meet its own requirements. Instead, China did not give up the aircraft that even Russia thought was chicken ribs. Instead, it increased investment and began to conduct in-depth research in order to find a technical route for improvement.
Just at this time, the Loma company of the United States announced the original design schemes of three F-35 fighter models. Among them, the F-35B VTOL fighter specially built for the Marine Corps attracted the attention of Chinese take-off technicians. In addition to the three bearing curved vectoring nozzle, the, The F-35B VTOL fighter does not use the small lift turbofan engine of the Jacques-141 VTOL fighter, but uses a lift fan instead of the lift engine.
Although the space occupied by this design is a little too large, the benefits are also obvious. First of all, it simplifies the internal complex pipeline. The lift engine at least needs to be equipped with oil pipe, starting cable and other mechanical mechanisms, which is not conducive to the safety of the aircraft, but also increases the total structure of the aircraft.
The lift fan is different. It only needs to extend a bearing from the engine. Its principle is to put the turbofan in the large bypass ratio turbofan engine at the front end.
More than 70% of the thrust of turbofan engine with large bypass ratio is provided by the fan. Therefore, in theory, the layout of fan front can provide enough lift for vertical takeoff.
Because of this, seeing the power layout of the F-35B, the technical team of China's take-off can be described as a treasure. Naturally, it is not red faced and heart beating, and it can be used directly.
In any case, China's take-off for so many years, touching the eagle sauce, has not done less, and it is not so bad.
However, China's take-off is crossing the river in the vertical power structure, but the overall layout of the aircraft is not in accordance with the thinking of the Americans.
The F-35B's powertrain is indeed a genius design, but if it is comfortable in such a big frame as the F-35, the way is obviously narrower.
China Tengfei is also an aviation and aerospace enterprise with ideas. Even if it is copying operations, it is necessary to copy correctly. Naturally, the mistakes that can be seen at a glance are not even bothering to look at them.
Because of this, when the ferry car gradually approached the hangar, the eyes of all army leaders and leaders, including the military leaders and the headquarters leaders, were straight. Some leaders of aviation origin subconsciously stood up from their seats and looked at the plane in front of the hangar, which looked like the j-8e in the distance. In fact, it was more aggressive and modern than the j-8e, A sentence flashed across my mind: "is this... A plane designed by ourselves?"
