Chapter 196 Wang Bin's decision

At the same time, he not only thought in his mind that since this Tiangong Technology can develop and produce aircraft engines, as General Manager Lin said before, perhaps this Tiangong Technology can solve the biggest problem on their company's aircraft.

So he immediately asked Wang Bin: "Mr. Wang! Since your company can develop jet aircraft engines, I wonder if your company has any aircraft engines used on light helicopters?"

After hearing Du Haili's words, Wang Bin did not answer immediately. After all, although their company has successfully developed a jet aircraft engine, it does not mean that their engine can be used on the helicopter immediately.

After all, the engine piston or turboshaft engine required by helicopters, but Wang Bin and his Tiangong Technology do not have these two engines. Even if you want to use the core engine of this engine to develop a turboshaft engine, it will take at least half a year or even longer to develop it. Of course, this is not the end.

After development, a series of tests and test drive improvements will be carried out, just like the tests that their engine is currently underway.

In other words, if Tiangong Technology wants to develop a turboshaft engine and meet the equipment standards, it will take at least more than a year. Of course, this is the fastest speed. If things are not going well, not to mention half a year, even in a few years, you may not be able to develop a qualified turboshaft engine.

As for piston aircraft engines, they can indeed be designed with their company's capabilities, but they cannot be completed in a short time.

And because these engine experts in their company, such as Professor Po, are all experts in jet style.

Therefore, if you develop a piston engine, the time it takes will definitely not be shorter than that of developing a turboshaft engine, or even longer.

In addition, even if he purchased this drawing from the system, it would not be possible to complete it in a short time.

However, for the power system of light helicopters like this, with the capabilities of Wang Bin and Tiangong Technology, there is no way out.

Don’t forget that their Tiangong Technology has copper-based superconducting battery technology and superconducting material technology!

With these two technologies, if Wang Bin and Tiangong Technology are developing a high-power superconducting motor, it is definitely not a problem to drive a light helicopter.

At the same time, even for a light helicopter like this, with Tiangong Technology's first-generation superconducting battery, it can definitely guarantee that the aircraft's endurance can reach 200 kilometers or even longer, and the endurance speed can definitely be greatly improved.

At the same time, in terms of superconducting motors, it is actually not a big problem for them.

Because even Wang Bin and his own drone have high-power superconducting motors on it for use when the drone is exhausted or in an emergency.

So if there is really a need, Wang Bin and his Tiangong Technology can develop superconducting motors that can be used in their Kunlun Company, this helicopter in a short period of time.

After all, once their helicopter used their Tiangong Technology battery as energy and motor as power.

According to Wang Bin's estimate, the weight of their helicopter can be reduced by at least half, and the load capacity can be increased by at least three to five hundred kilograms. At the same time, it will be cheaper in terms of flight costs and other aspects.

After all, although Wang Bin and his team have very high costs, if they really want to be sold to the public in the future, the price will be very high. Even the price of the first-generation battery will be at least 500,000 yuan.

Although the price is high, the life of this battery is not comparable to other batteries. It is no problem to use it casually for decades, because it is not a chemical energy battery. Therefore, as long as the superconducting coil inside the battery does not age, the structure does not have problems, and the insulation between the coils does not have problems, then this battery will never have problems. In other words, even if the helicopter is scrapped, this battery will basically not have any problems.

In addition, the electricity in society is basically very cheap now, even industrial electricity will not exceed two kilometers. If electricity is used as energy, then one kilometer of electricity can at least allow the aircraft to fly normally for at least a few kilometers. Even if the losses of battery motors and other factors are added, the cost per kilometer will not exceed one yuan.

So, what Wang Bin needs to consider now is not the question of whether their Tiangong Technology has the ability to power their helicopter, but whether Wang Bin is willing to sell batteries and superconducting motors to their Kunlun aircraft.

However, Wang Bin thought about it and said to Du Haili: "Mr. Du! We Tiangong Technology does not have any piston engines needed by your Kunlun Company, and we also have no plans to develop the piston engines in this regard.

After all, there is still a gap in efficiency between piston engines and turboshafts and other engines. At the same time, although our company has research and development plans in this regard, it has no plans to develop turboshaft engines for light aircraft."

Just as Wang Bin said this, Wang Bin could clearly see disappointment in Du Haili's eyes, but he still said: "Mr. Wang! If you Tiangong Technology really has no choice, then forget it! It seems that we can only buy light helicopter engines from foreign manufacturers for the time being. After we make a breakthrough in this regard, we will use our own."

At this moment, Wang Bin said again: "Mr. Du, please don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet.

Although our company has no intention of developing piston engines and light helicopter turbine engines, this does not mean that our company does not have the power in this regard.

Mr. Du doesn’t know if your company’s helicopter has ever considered using electricity as power. If so, our company can consider selling corresponding equipment to you, namely, super-capacity batteries and high-performance high-power motors!”

After hearing Wang Bin's words, Du Haili was still disappointed. After all, with the performance of batteries and motors in society today, it is impossible to meet the requirements of driving a manned aircraft. Even if you have to use electric energy to drive, not to mention the other performance of the aircraft, it is too far from that of fuel aircraft in terms of endurance alone.
