Chapter 1876 Watt?

Returning home with her face covered, Tong Jiaxin looked at the keys in her hand, still thinking about what happened just now?

Why did they arrive home suddenly, why was the key in her hand, and what did Li Tao say?

Countless question marks hovered in her little head, making her dizzy.

"Do you really like him?" Her sister Tong Jiayao's voice rescued her from the whirlpool of doubts.

"Yes." Tong Jiaxin nodded and said with a bright smile: "You are too, right?"

Tong Jiayao looked at her sister in surprise, then lowered her head shyly.

"Sister, don't you think it's very unfulfilling to be easily recognized by her every time?"

Tong Jiaxin's eyes twinkled and she smiled evilly and whispered in her ear. She didn't know what she said, which made Tong Jiayao's head lower and lower, as if she wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground.

"Boss, the personnel qualification review for the Apollo program has ended. A total of 64 researchers have passed the review. The progress of the two major studios headed by Mr. Kelly Johnson and Mr. Howard Hughes will be affected by the transfer of personnel..."

The tedious personnel qualification review of the Apollo program has finally come to an end, and 64 Skunk senior researchers were transferred out at one time.

"What's the project in progress?"

"The next generation engine and S-Series from Skunk Studios."

"The research and development of the third-generation fighter aircraft by Douglas Studio, and the shape studio responsible for Mr. Hughes."

Hercules' internal code name in Skunk is 's,' and the improved version's code name is 'ys. ’

The codenames of the modified aircraft officially put into service according to different needs are ‘, dc’ and so on.

Of course, the civilian version of the dc series is also indispensable. The dc-47 is currently the most widely used large aircraft in US airlines.

Even Boeing's competitors are rushing to order this series.

Although it has not surpassed Douglas's glorious achievement before World War II, DC-3 accounted for 90% of the US share.

But it still accounts for more than 60% of the usage rate, and the market size and value at this time are no longer the same as before.

Every year, Skunk upgrades and improves aircraft models to meet the different needs of the Department of Defense.

At the same time, innovative research and development is carried out in coatings, diversification, defense, electronic equipment and multi-functional applications.

This is the bulk of Skunk Studio's income. If we don't upgrade and transform, how much money can we make just by outputting products?

Five or six years ago, they would have understood what the boss meant when he said, "Selling products is not as good as selling after-sales services." ’

Over the years, Skunk Studio has earned 1.6 billion just from various subsequent upgrade services.

This would require selling 800 basic c-series units, which would have to be doubled if the net profit alone was calculated.

So far, including overseas sales, the number of S-series is only over 500. When can we make enough money?

Therefore, since then, all studios under Skunk have understood the truth, ‘You must think long-term when selling products, and after-sales is the key. ’

Various new types of equipment and technological upgrades are replaced almost every year.

This year we’ll do the coating first, next year we’ll do the radar, and the year after that we’ll do the wiring... In a few years, the previous sequence will be repeated.

Are all people in the Department of Defense idiots?

No,

They are not stupid at all. If the technology presented by Skunk does not impress them, how can the military, which has always been tight on military expenditures, owe the contract with a wave of its hand.

Therefore, if you want to make money, you must ultimately rely on technology.

The research and development of third-generation fighters is mainly to meet the new requirements of the Ministry of Defense for fighter aircraft.

It is still unknown when the order will actually be placed, at least this year, because the budget has been divided up at the beginning of the year.

Even if someone wants to move forward with the project, it will have to wait until next year.

The third generation aeroengine requires higher maneuverability at medium and low altitudes to cope with the rapid development of radar.

More advanced radar equipment, stronger combat performance and stability.

The era of extreme pursuit of speed has become a thing of the past. Now, what is needed is high attack and stable output.

Of course, being a real man for two seconds is not enough.

You must persist for at least six seconds. At the same time, thanks to the development of science and technology and the improvement of various technologies, the previous shortcomings will also be perfectly solved.

The engine's output power is further enhanced through innovations in high-temperature resistant special materials and cooling technology.

Wings with swept angles were eliminated, and more stable delta wings, geometrically variable wings, and trapezoidal wings with swept angles less than 45 degrees became the mainstream design.

Radar and avionics became more sophisticated and sophisticated.

The air inlet at the front of the aircraft was completely discarded to accommodate the installation requirements of large radar antennas.

At the same time, the size and cost of third-generation fighters have rapidly skyrocketed.

But no matter how high the price is, the Ministry of National Defense will grit its teeth and tighten its belts to build it ruthlessly.

Before the Cold War, the United States was still immersed in the glory of overthrowing Britain and becoming the world's hegemon.

Uncle Sam is building it, the Soviet Union on the other side of the ocean is building it, France, Iran, Italy, and South Africa are also building it.

Even Israel and its little brother Japan, which were founded less than 15 years ago, are also making them. How can the bald eagle, which is about to buy oranges, not make it?

Not only must be made!

It is better to build the most advanced, powerful and expensive ones to show your status!

Previously, it was Hughes who was in charge of the development progress of the third-generation fighter jet. Now he, along with his deputy and half of the team, have been taken away, which will greatly delay the project speed.

"It was proposed that the newly-joined Nospro should temporarily take over Douglas's duties."

"no."

Li Zitao decisively refused. What a joke. He also wanted to see the appearance of b-2 as soon as possible.

As soon as the entire Nospro was transferred to Boeing and increased funding, personnel and support, it was transferred here to research fighter jets.

Transferring the Nospro team that has been working on flying wings to research modern fighter aircraft is completely wrong.

Although they are both engaged in aviation, they are really not the same thing.

Otherwise, there won’t be only one ‘Ghost’ in the next generation. ’

"Let's put the progress of Douglas's work first. Apollo won't always occupy a team, there will be time."

The procurement contract for the third-generation fighter aircraft has not yet been seen, the project is already halfway through, and all technologies are ready-made.

Coupled with the patent barriers set up by Skunk, the next contract is a sure bet.

There is no need to touch the R&D facilities of its studios for this.

"Is there anything else?" Li Zitao asked proactively when the briefing time was over and seeing Annie hesitated to speak.

“It’s Evelin, she has something to report to you!”

"She's outside?"

"Yes."

"come in!"

It had been a while since he had seen the hot second personal secretary, and Li Zitao was also curious about what she had to report to him in person.

"Boss, I want to invite you to my home as my boyfriend."

"puff!"

Li Zitao spurted the coffee in his mouth all over the floor: "Watt?"
