Chapter 1308
After learning that Guo Tailai was going to develop and design the helicopter style, the people in the air force were very urgent and immediately contacted Mi Feifei, wanting to meet Guo Tailai. Who knows, their shot was late, the people from the navy had already made an appointment on Tuesday, and they made an appointment, but they could only make an appointment on Wednesday.
There was no way, when Guo Tailai assigned the mission, it was the submarine assigned in the morning and the helicopter assigned in the afternoon. The Air Force got the news later than the Navy, so they could only helplessly rank behind the Navy.
Therefore, after Guo Tailai accepted a round of strict questioning and explanations from the general assembly and the navy, he had a rest all night, had to go to work on time again, and once again enjoyed the congestion of the morning rush hour in the capital. Serious General Chu and General He of the Air Force.
However, after yesterday's incident, Guo Tailai basically knew what was going on, and when he saw General Chu, he knew that nothing serious would happen, so when he entered the door, he smiled and called each of them his uncle, calling him close.
General He still wanted to show some face, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. People from the Navy must have looked for Fatty yesterday, probably the same thing, so let’s get straight to the point!
Anyway, General He knows that last night, it is said that nothing happened at the Navy Yard for the first time. Several high-level officials actually got together for a small celebration, including General Liu who came here yesterday to ask Guo Tailai about the situation. . No need to ask, it must be the little submarine that gave them a very satisfactory answer and explanation.
"Fatty, is that little helicopter of yours planning to use the technology of the Osprey?" General He didn't intend to make any detours, and asked directly.
Is there any shortage of helicopters in the country now? Of course missing! All kinds of shortages! The plateau is still supported by the batch of black eagles obtained from the United States. If Guo Tailai really intends to develop from this small helicopter to the Osprey, then the Air Force is absolutely willing to deploy the best experts to cooperate with Guo Tailai.
"How is it possible?" Guo Tailai quickly denied: "Uncle! Such a small aircraft is just a training project. Can it compare with the Osprey? Whether it is materials or power, they are far behind! I have to say yes For similar places, at most, we can explore the flight control first, and give our troops some reference. If we really want to make an Osprey, how much will it cost plus the research and development costs? Can I afford it?"
Guo Tai was telling the truth, and General He knew this very well. The day before yesterday, after getting the information about the aircraft model that Guo Tailai was going to make, experts from the Air Force actually made a professional evaluation. The evaluation result was exactly the same as what Guo Tailai said, that is, the flight control system can be used as a reference. If the power system can really be made, it can be used on several small helicopters, but it is definitely far from being used on the Osprey.
The premise is that the power system can be made, but no matter how inconspicuous the power system is, it is also a turboshaft engine, which also requires core technology. Although Guo Tailai also has a research and development plan for a turboshaft engine, it is not enough in terms of investment. Maybe Guo Tailai just wants to carry out some simple research and development. When he actually uses it, he will purchase one or two foreign finished engines. With Guo Tailai's foreign relations, he may be able to buy them. arrive.
In short, according to the evaluation results of domestic experts, the engine is definitely impossible with such a small investment. However, several experts mentioned the flight control system in unanimous agreement. Although it is a small aircraft, it is similar in principle to the Osprey. It can really be used as a small-scale test to provide a reference.
Guo Tailai's words, coupled with the evaluation of the experts, also made General He a little disappointed.
"Then what's the point of investing so little in the engine?" General He asked, frowning, unable to hide his disappointment.
"There is no suitable material, how can we continue to develop it?" Guo Tailai hurriedly complained: "Aren't I still waiting for our military team to research those engine materials?"
Now the research team of the Air Force still occupies the first floor of Zhengyifang Technology, sharing the equipment of Zhengyifang Technology with the company's scientific researchers to study the samples brought back by Guo Tailai. Guo Tailai does not know the specific project progress, but as long as there are materials and domestic technology, Guo Tailai can come up with a suitable turboshaft engine in minutes.
Thinking of that research team, General He also had a headache. It has been almost a year since Guo Tailai brought back the materials from the air show in June last year, and he has only figured out the formula, but the specific production process has not been able to come out. It's not like a project of Zhengyifang Technology at all, and it rarely lasts more than a year.
"However, Uncle, I'm a civilian researcher. I can't afford research and development, so I don't have the conditions." Seeing General He's disappointed expression, Guo Tailai couldn't help reminding: "But the country should be able to do it, right?"
"How easy is that?" General He sighed: "It's not like you don't know, just for power, we don't have a suitable engine!"
"Uncle!" Guo Tailai pointed to General He with a wry smile: "The marine turbine engine on my yacht has been researched for so long, as long as I get out the core engine and develop a turbine shaft, the power can be used immediately. On the Osprey!"
As soon as these words came out, not only General He, but also General Chu was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. is not that right? Isn't that power output exactly at that level?
"Xiao Zhao, how is the research on that engine going?" Zhao Yanyan was in charge of setting up the research team, and it happened that Zhao Yanyan was in the meeting room, so General Chu asked immediately.
"It's almost finished." Zhao Yanyan quickly replied: "Except for the unsatisfactory lifespan caused by the material, everything else has been achieved."
"But we don't have enough strong materials to realize the rotating horizontal wing and folding rotor!" General He was overjoyed when he heard Zhao Yanyan's answer. If the engine can solve the problem, wouldn't it solve more than half of it? But then he remembered other technical difficulties on the Osprey analyzed by the experts, and couldn't help but say.
"That's the folding function made by the Americans to allow the Osprey to board the aircraft carrier." Guo Tailai said with a smile: "We don't have this demand for the time being, just fix it directly! And reduce most of the moving parts, while reducing weight, The failure rate will be greatly reduced!"
"But after all, it is a tilt-rotor aircraft. In any case, the engine part must rotate accordingly. This part of the technical difficulty is difficult to achieve." General He then mentioned another difficulty.
"Then don't rotate the engine!" Guo Tailai replied innocently with his big eyes open: "Only rotate the rotor part, and the engine is fixed. This will also reduce the turbulence interference under the engine and will not hurt people."
After removing a large number of moving parts, the result of a series of streamlining is not the follow-up version of V22, V280? According to the conditions Guo Tailai understands, the country can barely start a horse!
