Chapter 716 I Feel Like I Can’t Build a Plane
Hashimoto Hiroshi quickly led Marcel Dassault and others into the hangar. Since the boss has agreed, just execute it. The Japanese must be absolutely obedient in front of outsiders. This is something the Japanese do quite well.
Hangar No. 13 is not only poorly numbered and poorly located, but most importantly, it is very small. A few people quickly reached the end of the hangar, and there was nothing hidden inside. Ground-effect aircraft are old-model products, and their exposure is already very high. The staff didn't make any disguise, they just left it there, but it was obvious at a glance. Marcel Dassault has studied it many times. With Dassault's current technical capabilities, imitation is no longer a problem, but some core components are inferior to those of Heiyun Group.
Another problem is that the Soviet Union did not export titanium alloys to France. Of course, it should be possible after paying a certain price. Dassault is also making relevant efforts and I believe there will be results soon.
Whether ground-effect aircraft is suitable for participating in air shows has not yet been clearly defined. If it is not an airplane, it can still fly, but if it is an airplane, it cannot fly too high. Before there is a definition, we can only let Heiyun Group bring it to the exhibition. Even if it is not taken seriously, it is still produced by Heiyun Group.
Bao Zixuan has a huge influence all over the world, if everyone is so picky about Heiyun Group. This will affect France's inclusiveness in the world, and will be detrimental to the global promotion of the Paris Air Show. Considering various factors, the air show host committee still agreed to bring the ground effect aircraft to the exhibition.
The remaining two aircraft-like products are covered with black cloth, giving them an invisible air of mystery. Marcel Dassault is quite familiar with the appearance of aircraft, judging from the appearance of the two aircraft. Just know that an aircraft is a passenger aircraft or a transport aircraft. Could it be that Heiyun Group has developed another passenger aircraft, which will definitely be a strong rival in the future.
In just a few days, they have developed ground-effect aircraft, stealth aircraft, and now passenger aircraft, which proves that Heiyun Group will definitely enter the fighter field in the future. Bao Zixuan is studying aviation, and his love for flying is not much worse than his own. And with this guy's ambition and character, he will definitely produce all the aircraft he thinks are useful. No one can change this.
Looking at the flat fuselage on the other side, it must be what people often call a stealth aircraft. Just by looking at the appearance, you can tell that designing an aircraft like this is not easy. Heiyun is already at the forefront of aircraft design in the world. At least he has surpassed Dassault mentally. I really want to be decades younger and compete with this kid. Everything seems a bit late now, and Marcel Dassault, who did not see the plane, feels a bit like a hero in his twilight years.
Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "Mr. Dassault, you should have seen ground-effect aircraft. I won't say much here. I guess you should have some understanding of its performance."
France has purchased ground-effect aircraft, as a country that wants to have a complete military-industrial system. Of course, reverse imitation will be done. Dassault is the core company of French military aircraft manufacturing, so it will definitely participate in the project. It is very normal to know the technical characteristics and data parameters of the aircraft.
But now Bao Zixuan said it directly, making everyone a little embarrassed. After all, imitation is not a glorious act, and this kid must be using this to remind himself. It seems like a little fox, but that's the reality. France's defense industry must be in its own hands. No one can say anything about this.
Marcel Dassault: "I have actually experienced the Xiangjiang Monster ground-effect aircraft, and I can say that your ideas are very creative. I know a little about this product, so there is no problem in not needing to introduce it. Some things are inevitable for market development. Phenomenon, no company can do its own business, especially when it comes to the core products of the defense industry."
"It's better to look at the big guy first, and save the best product for last, right?"
Bao Zixuan thought that Marcel Dassault was really kind, being able to say so confidently about imitating other people's products. There is no one left, and I think about the turmoil that others have not mentioned. There are not many people in this world who have been in a concentration camp and come back alive. My little cleverness is really nothing in front of a genius like Marcel Dassault. It seems that I should not play too many tricks in the future.
Bao Zixuan waved his hand, and the staff untied the black cloth. A silver aircraft was revealed without any painting. After all, this aircraft does not currently belong to any airline.
People who come from Dassault are all experts. When they see the appearance and size of the aircraft, they know that the aircraft can carry at least 200 people. This result surprised them very much. No aircraft manufacturing company in the world has launched such a large project at once. You must know that Heiyun Group has no foundation at all; Bao Zixuan is really a talented person and bold, but he just doesn't know whether he can achieve the desired effect.
Bao Zixuan: "Mr. Dassault, this is a passenger aircraft jointly developed by Heiyun and the Soviet Union. The aircraft has a maximum of 210 seats; a maximum take-off weight of 105,000 kilograms; a maximum payload of 23,000 kilograms; a ceiling of 12,100 meters; cruise Speed 810 km/h to 850 km/h; maximum range: 7,000 km.”
Hearing that it was developed by Heiyun and the Soviet Union, the people at Dassault felt a lot more balanced. At least currently, Heiyun Group is not as powerful as imagined, and it also has its own shortcomings. But after hearing Bao Zixuan introduce the data, he became worried again. Not to mention Dassault, even Airbus would find it difficult to produce an aircraft with such superior performance. I am afraid that only Boeing in the world can compete with Heiyun in the manufacturing of passenger aircraft. This is very important information. Huaxia Company has mastered the manufacturing of large aircraft, and some blockades have no meaning.
Marcel Dassault said with a smile: "The performance of the aircraft is great, but fortunately it will not have a big impact on Dassault. I think Boeing and Airbus will have a headache. With the addition of a strong competitor, orders will inevitably decrease."
The world's air passenger transport market is only so large, and any company that rises needs to grab orders from other companies. This is the law of the market and no one can change it.
He has little interest in the passenger aircraft Marcel Dassault. Although he also intends to enter the business jet market, he has not yet completely decided. At least the old man's heart is still in fighter jets. It is Marcel Dassault's dream to design the most advanced fighter jet in the world within a limited time.
The highlight was about to come, and everyone was staring at the last aircraft that was covered with black cloth. People at Dassault knew that the aircraft under the black cloth were likely to be involved in the bombing of Iran. Although it cannot be completely confirmed, it is almost certain.
When the Black Cloud staff lifted the black cloth, everyone at Dassault, including Marcel Dassault, was dumbfounded. It turns out that airplanes can still be manufactured in this way. They were really ignorant before.
The flat fuselage and tailless design are really unexpected. Could the airplane come from an alien planet? Everyone at Dassault Company has this idea. The sci-fi feel of airplanes is so great that even if you are a professional, you will think so at first glance.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "hh-01 combat bomber; length: 13.8 meters; wingspan: 32.6 meters; height: 4.6 meters; maximum take-off weight: 82 tons; maximum flight speed: Mach 1/height 22,000 meters; Cruising speed: Mach 0.8; combat radius: 3200 kilometers; radar is equipped with a Doppler pulse radar with a detection range of 300 kilometers; equipped with two Black Cloud 2 turbofan engines, each with a thrust of 9200 kilograms; ordnance systems mainly include Two 30mm cannons, two short-range missile launch nests, and a cruise missile or free-fall bomb launch chamber, which can load 12 tons of missiles or bombs."
The data introduced is not very comprehensive, which is intentional on the part of Mr. Bao. But these technical parameters alone have frightened Marcel Dassault. What frightened him even more was the shape of the plane, because he knew where it came from.
When he was in the concentration camp, one day the German Horton brothers came to see him. Although we won't help the Germans build airplanes, we are all airplane designers, so communication is still no problem. As long as you have a good grasp of the scale and don't leak your ideas, that's fine. If he doesn't cooperate at all, the Germans won't make it easy for him.
The German Horton brothers proposed a similar design, but they did not expect it to be realized in the hands of Bao Zixuan. At that time, I felt that the theory might be feasible, but it was of little significance to create it. Now it seems that I am unable to keep up with the times. Why did I give up such a good opportunity to Heiyun Group?
When Marcel Dassault heard that the chief designer of the aircraft was named Horton, he immediately knew the secret. If Dassault wants to develop, it can also think of ways from this aspect. Bao Shaofu didn't know that introducing the chief designer would bring trouble to Heiyun Group, so he paid the price for his defeat.
I have been on a business trip recently, so I will try to update as much as possible. Thank you for your support!
