Chapter 1310 Purpose (Part 1)

Without Guo Tailai's reminder, the two generals will definitely push this matter forward. Doesn't look at the eagerness between General He's eyebrows and eyes? For a dignified major general, when did he usually show such joy and anger? Is it because I really saw hope?

"Are you sure you don't want to do it?" General Chu still asked Guo Tailai.

"The investment is too big, and I can't support it." Guo Tailai said honestly: "Osprey's research and development costs are almost more than 40 billion U.S. dollars. Uncle Chu, how can I be worth 40 billion dollars? Even if the domestic research manpower The cost is low, and it will cost 10 billion U.S. dollars to reduce it to half! There is always a process of investment and research and development for technology, which cannot be saved!"

Hearing this number, General Chu and General He felt pain for a while. Is it expensive? Of course expensive! Even if it is reduced to 10 billion US dollars, it is ridiculously expensive! But is this thing good? Obviously a good thing! With this in China, it can be said to be even more powerful!

Compared with the Black Hawk helicopter, the V22 Osprey has increased its flight speed and combat radius by about 50%, reaching a maximum flight speed of 500 kilometers per hour, a cruising speed of 400 kilometers per hour and a combat radius of 720 kilometers. Compared with the V-22, the V-280 has a very high performance improvement. It has reached a cruising speed of 520 kilometers per hour and a maximum level flight speed of 580 kilometers per hour, and the combat radius depends on the load. The minimum is 930 kilometers, and the maximum is 1480 kilometers. kilometer. The performance of the V-280 is much higher than even the US Army's requirements for tilt rotor aircraft.

What if there are a batch of V280 in China with higher reliability and better performance than V22 Osprey? Don't even think about it, as long as the Air Force needs a small amount of equipment, the air patrols and rapid assaults in the northwest and southwest can almost cover everything. It is no problem at all to deploy a special team of more than a dozen people within 1,500 kilometers at any time, and it can also bring fire support.

But such a large investment, as General Chu said, must be prudent and prudent. Unlike Guo Tailai, who made a decision in the company. Therefore, Guo Tailai can only be a suggestion. Judging from the current situation, it can only be said that the country does have the conditions to launch a horse, but whether it is really necessary to do it requires more and more careful consideration by the high-level and the military, from demand to use. More comprehensive consideration in all aspects, rather than just doing it on the brain like Guo Tailai.

One thing is for sure, the price of the V280 will definitely not be cheap. Although the cost will be much lower than that of the V22, it is still much higher than that of ordinary helicopters. It is a big problem that indeed requires experts to carefully demonstrate it in advance.

This matter is definitely not something that can be decided immediately, and there is definitely no solution here. Then General He immediately became concerned about Guo Tailai's design company: "Do you still lack experts in your flight control system?"

"It's lacking!" Guo Tailai immediately put on a troubled expression, complaining incessantly: "Uncle, you don't know! That group of Ukrainian experts do have talents in this field, but their technical routes are all Those who came from the Soviet Union's stupid, black and rough route are extremely unfamiliar with the development of chip integrated circuits. Our current experts have to teach them. When they make up for these lessons, maybe Only then will they show their abilities!"

"In the near future, I will coordinate a group of experts to enrich your design team." General He agreed immediately without further ado. Guo Tailai has already done this. If these research institutes in China continue to engage in seven twists and do not send out real masters, then General He really needs to talk to their leaders in person.

Not to mention anything else, just the marine turbine engine and drawings that Guo Tailai took out for a research team to study and study. Guo Tailai claimed that he only made a marine engine and did not master other technologies. But if you say this to laymen, maybe they will believe it, and real technical experts will believe it? Can you come up with a mature marine turbine engine with outstanding performance without mastering the core engine technology?

That is to say, Guo Tailai was unwilling to forcibly intervene in this field, so all the drawings and real objects were provided for research, and it also helped the country cultivate a group of researchers. After all, there are professional drawings, detailed physical objects, and even the production and assembly process, so it is easy to grasp the key technical points.

No, the research team on the engine side has achieved results. As long as the problems of materials and finishing are solved, the life span can be greatly improved.

In fact, except for Guo Tailai, no one knows that the turboshaft engine with the same origin as that marine turbine engine happens to be the engine of the future V280. Since Guo Tailai chose which engine, the latter has been a matter of course.

Now, Guo Tailai has achieved a design comparable to that of the Osprey. He has explained everything from the engine to the appearance model and even the flight control system. Complete shape design? Can you carve out a complete model by hand? People just leave the project to the country under the excuse of insufficient funds and insufficient talents. If someone is ignorant, it can't be justified.

General Chu can be regarded as a person who understands General He's character. He believes that a group of people will retire early when he returns this trip.

If Guo Tailai finds out about this, Guo Tailai will definitely complain about it. There are some things that Guo Tailai really can’t afford to start from scratch, not to mention the tens of billions of dollars in overall research and development costs, even if he only studies the engine, it’s enough for Guo Tailai. one pot. The car Guo Tailai can still play with, and the aircraft engine is really a big project.

Guo Tailai's advantage is that he knows some mature designs, which is equivalent to skipping the research and development process, but can these achievements be directly presented? how to explain? Therefore, at present, Guo Tailai can only make small troubles and accumulate slowly.

"Fatty, what do you think about the materials used for the rigid wings of this Osprey upgraded model aircraft?" General Chu has carefully studied the approval status of Guo Tailai's aircraft project, and at this moment he also asked Guo Tailai: "I Seeing that the research and development of this material is not included in the project breakdown of your own aircraft, how do you plan?"

"Uncle, I just played with a big toy by myself. How could you all find out this?" Guo Tailai couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's not something and a project that the military wants to use, so it needs to be reviewed so strictly?"

"Just curious." General Chu said with a smile: "Isn't this the current Osprey upgrade model that may be used if it is to be done?"

"Can you say something that is illegal?" Guo Tailai was speechless, he could only take a sip of coffee, and asked resentfully.

"Illegal?" General Chu laughed immediately: "That's more to say! Otherwise, what if someone finds out in the future?"
