Chapter 390 multinational soy sauce regiments

The status of aircraft engine in the world is far from only having great influence on the civil aviation system, and to a large extent it determines the true height of the national defense industry technology level, and it also has great significance for the improvement of national defense level and strength.

There are many countries in the world that can make cars and automobile engines, and there are not a few countries that can make rockets and missiles, but there are few countries that can make excellent aircraft engines.

If we don't take Dongchen into account, China's achievements in the ultimate field of industry are very poor. In the past decades, whether in the field of civil aviation or military, the domestic manufacturing level has only entered the stage of reluctant manufacturing. What is forced manufacturing? In the most common and realistic words, it means that goods are compared and thrown away.

Whether it's push to weight ratio, fuel economy, safety, reliability or tolerance, domestic products are all lower than the manufacturing process of e country, or even less than that of the former Northern crocodile country. In fact, e country has now fallen into the second-class country in the field of aeroengine, let alone China country? For example, an American engine can fly 10000 hours in the sky before it is overhauled, and an engine of China has been scrapped 5000 hours in the sky. This sharp contrast always highlights the weakness of China in the field of aeroengine.

In a blink of an eye, Dongchen has become the top in the industry from an enterprise with no relevant accumulation. Although all its products are now developed around the civil aviation system, in the eyes of western countries that have gone through the route of civil, military and civil mixed use, Dongchen has the ability to produce high-end military aircraft engines, no matter from Dongchen The design level, manufacturing process, material advancement and overall performance can be seen very clearly. There are four types of aero-engine: turbofan engine suitable for large civil aviation, freight and transporter, turboprop engine suitable for large take-off and slow speed, turbojet for military aircraft, and helicopter for helicopter. Turboshaft engine.

These four types of engines, from the root, have the same technical ductility as automobile engines. They are naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines, supercharged engines and even supercharged engines that have increased nitrogen accelerated combustion. Once they master the common technology of the middle and high end, they can manufacture all these series of products Come on, that's why Mercedes Benz can build all the engines from the naturally aspirated engine to the engine suitable for F1 racing car, and the level is at the top of the world. If you expect Lifan to take all these lines, you'd better wait for him to build the naturally aspirated engine first.

For this reason, western countries attach great importance to the test flight of Dongchen. If the test flight of Dongchen is successful and the whole civil trunk line passenger and cargo engine field is announced to be covered, then it will not be long before Dongchen can build a more powerful turbojet engine than F22.

Zhang Yunfeng knew that he would not be able to avoid such doubts and guesses. Even director Liu implicitly expressed the high-level wishes, that is, when is Dongchen going to launch the R & D and production of the turbofan engine?

In Zhang Yunfeng's mind, the answer is at least another period of time.

At this time, sitting in the bbj2 business jet and going to Seattle with Zhang Yunfeng, there are three unfamiliar faces that Zhang Yunfeng is not familiar with. They are respectively from Chengdu, Shenyang, AVIC and other state-owned enterprises with strong national defense background, and all of them are chief engineers in charge of engine design and R & D.

These people are all arranged by director Liu. Zhang Yunfeng can't refuse, and they seldom talk with Zhang Yunfeng, because Zhang Yunfeng knows that the purpose of these people to follow him to Seattle is to be the most careful spectator, to observe the current aviation engine manufacturing strength of Dongchen, and what kind of height they have achieved.

Zhang Yunfeng thought there were some extra third-party personnel to make his head big. But when the plane landed at Boeing's test flight airport in Seattle, Zhang Yunfeng realized how powerful the test flight battle was.

Apart from the reporters, Boeing military aircraft company, Lockheed Martin, Pratt & Whitney and other three major U.S. military aviation pillar enterprises all sent special personnel to visit and learn and provide necessary help. For Raymond, orders and arrangements directly from the White House could not be refused.

As soon as the two met, they poured bitter water into each other. Raymond was afraid that Zhang Yunfeng would be angry because of the suddenly increased number of people on his side. As soon as he got the chance to have a private conversation with Zhang Yunfeng, he said apologetically, "Zhang, I'm really sorry. These people from the third party, I can't refuse."

Zhang Yunfeng nodded and said lightly, "understand, I feel the same thing."

Raymond then asked, "China has also sent people to participate?"

Zhang Yunfeng smiled helplessly and said: "let's take part in the test flight. We were going to test the civil engines. Sooner or later, these engines will be sent to all parts of the world. Governments and national defense departments around the world can easily get them. In this case, it's better to let them participate in the test from the beginning, and maybe bring some government orders to Dongchen."

Raymond also reluctantly spread out his hand and said: "you know, they are more concerned about whether Dongchen has enough strength to produce pure military engine, especially fighter engine."

Zhang Yunfeng said with a smile: "what's the meaning of their concern? If Dongchen doesn't get involved in the production of military engines, what's the point of having such strength. "

Raymond explained: "they always need to measure the potential space for a country to improve its national defense level. If Dongchen shows enough R & D capability, I think many countries that have listed your country as an imaginary enemy will immediately allocate funds to speed up the improvement of their own country's strength in this regard. I think you have some understanding of the cold war history. Both sides are totally like girls with red eyes. You are now If I buy a Chanel, I'll start a Versace tomorrow. You slept with a male model today, and I'll sleep with an actor tomorrow. If I know you're pregnant, and I don't have a boyfriend, I'll have to conceive as soon as I can, even if I'm artificially inseminated, and I can't leave half the way behind. "

Zhang Yunfeng laughed at Raymond's teasing and said: "Raymond, your metaphor is really brilliant!"

"The truth!" Raymond said with a smile: "this rule is also applicable to Dong Chen. Dare you make a bet with me? If the three new engines launched by Dongchen are successful, such enterprises as Pratt & Whitney, Rolls Royce, snakma, liulika Saturn and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will all receive government funding to develop better military engines for the military of all countries. Moreover, even countries like India will also spend a lot of US dollars to seek help from the United States and e-countries, or introduce more Good engines, or seek joint research and development. "

Zhang Yunfeng couldn't help laughing and said, "the so-called joint research and development in India is actually the unjust leader who gives money?"

"That's right." Raymond nodded: "they don't have enough manufacturing strength. They usually use the guise of joint research and development to satisfy their self-reliance. Generally, the United States, Russia and other countries will just take out their second-line technology, get more dollars from India, and then carry out the so-called second-line research and development, and leave the second-line technology to India for return."

Zhang Yunfeng nodded and said with emotion, "as you say, as long as Dongchen succeeds this time, the countries you just mentioned, such as the United States, France, dongdau, India and E, will speed up their research and development of military aeroengine immediately? Don't they wait for Dongchen to actually build a military engine before making a decision? "

"No." Raymond is very determined to say: "although the arms competition among countries is not as crazy as it was in the cold war, we all know that in areas of strategic significance, we must grasp a certain amount of advance, that is, I will not wait for your next generation of products to come out, and then catch up, as long as I think you have the action or ability to develop the next generation of products, excellent Potential, I will immediately start their own research and development, so that, even if not back, at most only slow you half a generation, will not be you far away from the gap of a generation. "

Zhang Yunfeng laughed in his heart. If what Raymond said is true, I'm afraid that after the test flight of Dongchen, the extra expenditure of these countries in the field of military engines will exceed ten billion US dollars at least. This is invisible, which also promotes the rapid development of this field. However, at that time, the domestic manufacturing level and overall strength will be one step behind Cut it? After all, with a better foundation, the United States and Russia, as a powerful country, are far more powerful than China.

At the same time, Zhang Yunfeng thought to himself that if the test flight of Dongchen engine is successful, and these countries will have corresponding catch-up actions immediately, as Raymond said, then he should also consider turning Dongchen aviation industry from a purely civil enterprise to a civil and military enterprise, such as the former inclusive enterprise. His engine is not only used for Boeing and Airbus In fact, the three giants of the world's aero-engine have a considerable degree of military pedigree. Rolls Royce also provides engines for the F / A18 hornet carrier aircraft, and the F35 engine also has its contribution. Even the engines used by the Harrier fighters of the Yankees are jointly completed by him and Pratt & Whitney Half of the F16 is powered by universal engines, and the Indian air force is one of GM's big customers.

Dongchen has basically defeated the advantages of the three giants in the field of civil engines. If they really want to catch up with each other in the field of military engines, then Dongchen will use practical actions to make them realize that no matter how they catch up with each other, they will be a laborer.

The United States pays great attention to the news that Dongchen has chosen to test fly with Boeing in Seattle. At the same time, more and more "guest guests" have also flocked to Boeing's test flight center in Seattle. Although Boeing and Airbus are dead rivals, it doesn't mean that the United States and Europe are dead rivals. Rolls Royce, SNECMA and Zhang Yunfeng have made secret exchanges just before Yi, by Zhang Yunfeng with a new alloy steel pit and unaware of Mitsubishi Heavy Industry also came.
