Without Guo Tailai reminding, the two generals will definitely go to promote this matter. Didn’t you see the eagerness between the generals’ eyebrows? A grand general, when is the usual expression of such a wrath? Still not because I really saw hope?
"Are you sure you don't want to do it?" The general was still rushing Guo Tailai to ask.
"Investment is too big, I can't hold it." Guo Tailai said honestly: "Osprey has spent almost $40 billion on research and development until now. You don't think I can value 40 billion yuan on my body? Even if I have domestic research manpower. The cost is low, and half of the reduction is half a billion dollars! Technology, there is always a process of investment and research and development, it can't save!"
Hearing this figure, the generals and the generals were also a bit of pain. Is it expensive? Of course expensive! Even if it is reduced to 10 billion US dollars, it is expensive! However, is this thing ok? Obviously a good thing! With this in China, it can be said that it is even more powerful!
Compared with the Black Hawk helicopter, the V22 Osprey has increased its flight speed and combat radius by about 50%, reaching a maximum flight speed of 500 km/h, a cruising speed of 400 km/h and a combat radius of 720 km. The V-280 has a very high performance improvement compared to the V-22. It has reached a cruising speed of 520 km/h and a maximum flat flying speed of 580 km/h. The combat radius is different from the load, with a minimum of 930 km and a maximum of 1480. Kilometers. The performance of the V-280 is even higher than the requirements of the US Army for tilting rotorcraft.
What if there is a batch of V280 that is more reliable than the V22 Osprey in China? You don't have to think about it. The Air Force can pack almost all of it, and the air patrols and fast assaults in the northwest and southwest can almost all be included. A special detachment of more than a dozen people can be placed at any time within 1,500 kilometers. There is no problem at all, and fire support can be provided.
Such a large investment, as the general said, must be cautious and cautious. Unlike Guo Tailai, he made a decision in the company. Therefore, Guo Tailai can only be a suggestion. From the current situation, it can only be said that the domestic conditions are indeed in place, but if you really want to do it, you need more considerations from the top and the military, from the demand to the use. More aspects are considered comprehensively, rather than being shot like Guo Tailai.
One thing is certain, the V280 price will never be cheap, although the cost will be much lower than the V22, but it is still much higher than the ordinary helicopter. After the development is completed, the army can be equipped. A big problem really needs experts to come to a careful argument in advance.
This is definitely not a decision at the moment. There will be no solution here. Then General He will immediately care about Guo Tailai’s design company: “Is your flight control system still lacking experts?”
"Lack!" Guo Tailai immediately put on a distressed expression, complaining: "Uncle, you don't know! The group of Ukrainian experts, they do have talents in this area, but their technical routes are From the stupid black and thick route of the Soviet Union, it is extremely unfamiliar with the development of the current chip integrated circuit. Some of our current experts have to teach them by hand. When they make up these lessons, maybe Will play their ability!"
"I recently coordinated a group of experts to enrich your design team." He General did not say anything, and immediately agreed. Guo Tailai has already done this job. If these domestic research institutes still have to do a good job, then the generals will really have to talk to their leaders personally.
Not to mention anything else, the ship's turbine engine and drawings from Guo Tailai let a research team study and study. Guo Tailai claimed that he only made a marine engine, and other technologies were not mastered. But let's say it to the laymen. Maybe they will believe that true technical experts will believe it? Without mastering the core machine technology, can you come up with a mature and superior marine turbine engine?
That is to say, Guo Tailai is not willing to intervene in this field. Therefore, all the drawings are taken out for research, and they also help the country to train a group of researchers. After all, there are professional drawings, detailed physical objects, and even the production and assembly process, it is easy to grasp the key points of the technology.
No, the research team on the engine side has already produced results. As long as the material and finishing problems are solved, the life expectancy can be greatly improved.
In fact, with the exception of Guo Tailai, no one knows that the turboshaft engine that is the same as the marine turbine engine is exactly the engine of the future V280. From Guo Tailai's choice of the engine to start, the latter is already a matter of course.
Now, Guo Tailai has already made a design that can match the Osprey to the point where it has been explained from the engine to the appearance model and even to the flight control system. If Guo Tailai did not think about the design of the whole machine, he could come up with this. Complete shape design? Can you hand out a complete model? People only leave the project to the country by the excuses of insufficient funds and insufficient talents. If someone does not know each other, then they can’t say it.
The general is also a person who understands the character of General He. He believes that if there is going back, there will definitely be a group of people who will retire early.
If Guo Tailai knows that Guo Tailai must scream, there are some things that Guo Tailai wants to play from scratch is really not to be able to play with it. Don’t say that the overall development cost of this tens of billions of dollars is to study only the engine, but also enough to drink Guo Tailai. a pot of. Car Guo Tailai can still play, aircraft engine, that is really a big project.
Guo Tailai's advantage is that knowing some mature designs is equivalent to skipping the R&D process, but can these results be directly taken out? how to explain? Therefore, at present, Guo Tailai can only be a small fight and slowly accumulate.
"Fat, what do you think of the materials used in the rigid wing of this Osprey upgrade model aircraft?" General Yan is seriously studying the project of Guo Tailai's aircraft project. At this moment, he also asked Guo Tailai: "I You didn't have the development of this material when you saw the project decomposition of your own aircraft. How did you plan?"
"Uncle, I have a big toy to play with, can you find out?" Guo Tailai couldn't help but smile: "Isn't the military's things and projects to be used, is it so strict?"
"It's curiosity." General General said with a smile: "Isn't this the Osprey upgrade model to be used now?"
"Can't you say something illegal?" Guo Tailai was speechless and could only drink a cup of coffee. He asked.
“Is not legal?” The general immediately laughed: “That’s more to say! Otherwise, what if I am turned over later?”
