Chapter 1301 Happy Cooperation (Part 2)

The V22 Osprey tilt-rotor transport aircraft can take off and land vertically. After taking off, the rotor rotates and immediately becomes a fixed-wing aircraft. It has high speed, large load and long range. The maximum take-off weight is 27 tons (short take-off), and the vertical take-off and landing is 21 tons. The maximum payload in the aircraft is 10 tons, the maximum flat speed is 570 kilometers per hour, the flight range is 1,800 kilometers for short takeoff with 5 tons of load, and the vertical takeoff is also 700 kilometers.

570 kilometers per hour, converted into knots, is 308 knots, fully satisfying Guo Tailai's speed of more than 300 knots per hour. As a fixed-wing aircraft, the flight range can be guaranteed easily. That is to say, Guo Tailai's request is actually not impossible.

"But, boss!" The chief engineer began to smile bitterly: "This is a difficult military aircraft, and this is military technology."

The implication is to remind Guo Tailai that they will not participate in the research of military projects.

"A military plane that can only take six people without any radar weapons?" Guo Tailai asked with a smile: "How about luxury and comfort, to ensure safety? Is there such a military plane? Regal provides a point-to-point luxury private helicopter solution from home to company, from airport to hotel, from hotel to yacht. It does not need to occupy the runway, and the helicopter can fly wherever it can go, but more quickly and comfortably.”

"Of course, this kind of helicopter can also be used as a business jet for travel companies, or for short-distance transportation between cities." Guo Tailai explained to everyone: "This is a market with a certain demand capacity. I also want Rely on this market to earn back my R&D and design and manufacturing expenses. Don’t tell me what kind of military aircraft this is, I still want to make money!"

"But now there are enough helicopters to meet the requirements!" The helicopter expert couldn't help but asked with a wry smile: "Where is the competitiveness?"

"In addition to vertical take-off and landing, the fuel consumption of ordinary runway take-off and landing and other flight routes is greatly reduced." Guo Tailai replied without thinking: "This is one of them. The money of the rich doesn't just fall from the sky. It can save fuel consumption." , why not? Reducing expenses is part of the reason.”

Everyone nodded. Of course, fixed-wing level flight is much less fuel-efficient than a helicopter whose rotors support the weight of the body all the time.

"Second, it's more comfortable." Guo Tailai continued: "I don't need to remind everyone of the noise of the helicopter in flight, right?"

They are all experts, who hasn't been in a helicopter? On a helicopter, even if it is an airtight helicopter, everyone must wear earphones and communicators when speaking in the same cabin. The noise of helicopter rotors is definitely one of the loudest among vehicles.

Fixed-wing does not have this problem, and it does not affect how everyone speaks in a civil aviation aircraft. The sound insulation is good, and it can be quiet and low noise. This alone can instantly kill most helicopters.

"Flying fast, don't I need to say more?" Guo Tailai continued with a smile.

Everyone nodded for a while. The current helicopter has a maximum speed of 300 kilometers per hour, which is considered fast. Compared with the speed of 300 knots, it is of course much slower.

"I save money and time for the rich, and it is more comfortable." Guo Tailai said with a smile: "If the price is also competitive, why not choose mine?"

"But, boss!" Everyone no longer doubts whether this helicopter, which has no paper design, is technically possible, and chats happily about many other things, such as the market, such as maintenance: "This kind of tilt rotor The technical requirements are very high, and it is relatively difficult from materials to technical realization, and the maintenance is difficult. As far as I know, the failure rate of American Ospreys is not low!"

"The Osprey's maximum payload is ten tons, but ours only needs five hundred kilograms to one ton." Guo Tailai said with a smile: "Don't tell me that the payload is reduced by ten times, and the technical difficulty is also reduced by ten times?"

From a numerical point of view, this is a ten-fold relationship, but in terms of technical difficulty, the reduction is definitely more than ten times, and it may even be as much as twenty to fifty times. Needless to say, in terms of materials alone, the strength requirements may be greatly reduced. The difficulty of supporting a material weighing ten tons is not on the same order of magnitude as supporting a material weighing one ton. The same is true for engine power. The reduction in this requirement may lead to a crazy drop in overall costs.

They are all experts, of course they understand this truth. After listening to the boss's analysis, it seems that this project is not the kind of super-high-cost project that is completely impossible or requires extremely high investment. The boss's financial resources can fully support it. Moreover, the boss has considered the needs of the market from the very beginning, which also means that as long as this can be done well, there will be a steady stream of income to support more research and development in the future.

In other words, the boss didn't ask them to carry out extremely difficult technical research and development, let alone study military technology, it was just a big toy for the rich. Of course, technical difficulty is relative. It is not super difficult, but it is not without difficulty. It is suitable for those who have not consolidated their professional knowledge for almost ten years and need a suitable project to make up for their missed courses. Experts.

After all, in the past ten years, the development of various material power and chip integrated circuits has far surpassed that of ten years ago. Functions that may have required a cubic meter of volume to complete may now only need a single chip. These courses, these experts must also make up.

This project is called a helicopter. Of course, these helicopter experts are useful, but at the same time, it is a fixed-wing aircraft, so experts in transport aircraft and fighter jets can also use their fists, flight control power and so on. The cost will not be sky-high. From these aspects, it is really a good project.

As for whether this technology will be used in the military? Come on, any technology can be used in the military. But whether it is internal or external, it is a complete civilian project, isn't it?

The first meeting between Guo Tailai, the boss, and the representatives of the new employees was successfully completed. The experts recognized the scope of the project that Guo Tailai wanted to develop, and also recognized Guo Tailai himself. This established the basis for cooperation, and both parties were full of enthusiasm for the next cooperation. expect.

"Then, I will start work next Monday. Happy cooperation!" Guo Tailai stood up and smiled and extended his hand to the chief teacher. Several representatives also stood up with smiles. Two-way optional communication: "Happy cooperation, Boss!"

Temporarily resolving the doubts of these experts, Guo Tailai sent the representatives of these experts away, and asked Mi Feifei, "When will our domestic experts be in place?"

"It's almost ready." Mi Feifei replied immediately: "Next Monday is absolutely fine."

"Then go to work together." Guo Tailai nodded, heaved a sigh of relief, and said happily, "I can't wait to make some new things."
