Director Zhao and Li Fang couldn't help but froze when they heard this. What advanced light tactical transport aircraft plan? Never heard of it?
"I remember that apart from the Yun-6 and the Plateau Eagle series derived from it, you don't have any other aircraft models, right?" Song Changzheng suddenly asked.
Zhuang Jianye smiled brightly: "The advanced light tactical transport aircraft plan is just a new model developed internally by Ascendas Aviation Corporation. It is slightly larger than the Y-6 currently equipped with the Air Force, and the maximum take-off weight is between 16 and 20 tons. , the load capacity is about 6 to 9 tons"
"Wait!" Zhuang Jianye was about to continue, but was interrupted by Li Fang: "Your parameters are basically the same as Yun-7 and An-26, and the homogeneity is very serious."
Song Changzheng also frowned and nodded: "The Navy and Air Force have equipped a batch of An-26 in the 1970s, and now the overall age of the aircraft is pretty good. Because of this, the Northwest Factory's Yun-7 seems very embarrassing. If you are here Here comes another similar model"
Song Changzheng didn't say the next words, but his helpless shake of the head was worth a thousand words. Director Zhao didn't say anything, but his dark face was full of worry. Just now, he thought the head of the headquarters' inaction was very good. Why don't they just turn around and let Xiaozhuang and the others do whatever they want?
"Commanders, don't worry, just listen to what I have to say." Zhuang Jianye quickly explained with a smile: "Our positioning of this advanced light tactical transport aircraft is not based on take-off weight and load, but focuses on range and consumption. Compared with the above, because the maximum range we designed is no less than about 5,000 kilometers, even with full fuel and full load, the range is close to 3,000 kilometers"
¡°The maximum range is 5,000 kilometers?¡±
Zhuang Jianye was interrupted again by Li Fang in the middle of his words, but this time Li Fang was not expressionless, but could not conceal his disbelief from his narrowed eyes.
Song Changzheng also frowned deeply, pondered for a moment and shook his head: "The maximum range is five thousand kilometers" Then he raised his eyes and looked at Zhuang Jianye: "Is it too exaggerated?"
This is because we just witnessed the excellent performance of the D-50. Otherwise, Li Fang and Song Changzheng would never be so cautious, and would turn around and leave without hesitation without saying a word of nonsense.
The reason is very simple. A light transport aircraft with a take-off weight of less than 20 tons and a range of more than 3,000 kilometers is considered world-class. If it wants to reach 5,000 kilometers, it will be at the level of a medium-sized transport aircraft with a take-off weight of more than 45 tons.
If nothing else, the Y-7, which has just been tested every two years, has a maximum range of less than 2,000 kilometers; the An-26 introduced from the Soviet Union in the 1970s will only reach a range of 2,000 kilometers with a light load.
Five thousand kilometers, that is the height that only the Y-8 can reach. Zhuang Jianye opened his mouth and said that his advanced light tactical transport aircraft can fly to 5,000 kilometers. If anyone still believes the Y-8 level, but a 20-ton light transport aircraft, even if it is a lie If you want to find a layman to fool you, they are all senior technical experts in the army. Tell them this
Li Fang and Song Changzheng simply felt that Zhuang Jianye was dazzled by the d-50 score just now and began to brag about not paying taxes.
Not only the two naval experts, Director Zhao also felt that the data exposed by Zhuang Jianye was a bit outrageous. Although Director Zhao was not interested in aviation, many things in aerospace and aviation were interconnected, but he also knew the ways inside the aircraft, so he felt that Zhuang Jianye's bullshit was a bit exaggerated this time.
"It's just that unlike Li Fang and Song Changzheng who simply felt that Zhuang Jianye was a little complacent, Director Zhao had a bit of a teacher's hatred for students. Even if he brags, he can't brag to the limit, right? Just say three thousand kilometers. Five thousand kilometers is a bit too far from reality.
"Commanders, please don't use old-fashioned concepts to judge our advanced light tactical transport aircraft."
As a result, before Zhuang Jianye could open his mouth to explain, Qian Qiang on the side suddenly spoke with a strong tone, which made Director Zhao and others stunned, wondering what happened to Qian Gong?
??????????????????? Behind Zhuang Jianye¡¯s wry smile, there are all kinds of wow-factor secret joy.
What's wrong? Of course it's for a small amount of money.
You must know that the Highland Eagle was exported to Nepal. All of a sudden, the Lin Guanghua team responsible for aircraft design, the Pengchuan team responsible for production, the Wei Guangping team responsible for equipment improvement, and the Song Yanan team responsible for materials made a lot of money.
Only Qian Qiang¡¯s team responsible for the engine got a big zero, because Nepal¡¯s Highland Eagle uses American turboprop engines instead of the D-series of Ascendas Aviation Power.
Fortunately, Pan Xu later reached an agreement with Nepal for eight sets of combined cooling, heating and power generation devices, finally allowing Qian Qiang¡¯s gas turbine power device team to get a share of the pie.
But it still makes Qian Qiang feel very uncomfortable. The reason is very simple. The plane is high-speed.? industry, the main business of Ascendas Aviation Corporation, is at the top; the combined cooling, heating and power generation device is only a side business of Ascendas Aviation Corporation, and no matter how much money it makes, it cannot compare with the dominant position of aircraft.
In other words, there is an invisible and intangible chain of contempt between the various businesses of Ascendas Airlines. The aircraft is naturally at the top of the chain, receiving the most attention and receiving the largest proportion of sales. Overwhelm all other businesses.
Qian Qiang looks calm and calm, but in fact he is extremely envious in his heart, especially when Song Yanan, a stubborn woman, actually surpasses him in this aspect. This makes Qian Qiang not only envious, but also a little jealous. When he was at Xihang University, he was more accomplished than Song Yanan. It's higher, why can't it work when I come to Ascendas Airlines?
"This can't be done. What if my old superiors, old colleagues, and old classmates find out? Where can I put my face?" So some time ago, Qian Qiang suddenly put aside his scholarly reserve and shamelessly pestered Zhuang Jianye, patting his chest and promising that using their turboprop engine would be all right.
Both the Yun-6 and the Highland Eagle are both high-profile products of Ascendas Airlines that have established a good reputation. No matter how confident he is in his own products, Zhuang Jianye still thinks it¡¯s better to be cautious. What¡¯s more, the Yun-6 and Highland Eagle series are both single-engine turboprops. Aircraft have great limitations, so Zhuang Jianye will never apply them to the Yun-6 and Highland Eagle until the reliability of his own products is fully recognized.
¡° However, it was not a problem for Ascendas Aviation to sit on the sidelines, so under the leadership of Zhuang Jianye, the plan for a twin-engine turboprop light transport aircraft was officially released.
Because it has twin engines, safety is guaranteed to a certain extent. Therefore, even though the d-series of Ascendas Aerodynamics does not have the overhaul interval and service life as much as those in the United States, it can barely meet most mission requirements. More importantly, the d-series also has Finally I have my own platform to perform.
The happiest person about this is Qian Qiang. Not only did he step up the development of matching turboprop engines, he would also call Lin Guanghua and urge him to hurry up with the design. He was even more impressive than the chief engineer.
As a result, the treasure he valued so much was questioned. Qian Qiang could not sit still. Without saying anything, he walked directly to another filing cabinet, flipped through it twice, took out a notebook, and handed it to Li Fang and others: "This is our The fuel consumption data of several turboprop engines does not exceed 0.308 kilograms per hour."
"So low!" Song Changzheng's eyes widened as he looked at Qian Qiang.
