Chapter 317 New research and development tasks
After the conversation between Wang Bin and Qiu Tuan and others, Qiu Tuan hurriedly left. It was obvious that he was going to discuss this matter with others at this time. After all, their military was still unsure about the transformation plan for the No. 6 aircraft. After all, according to the original transformation plan, the transformation project volume was too great and the technical difficulty was really great.
Now that he has a better engine and a better transformation plan, he naturally wants to tell the plan to his superiors to discuss whether to use this better plan.
............
However, shortly after Qiu Tuan left, that night, Mr. Wan took the two of them to the hotel owned by Wang Bin and others and found Wang Bin.
After all, with such important news, Mr. Wan and the others could be able to wait, so after listening to Qiu Tuan's report, he immediately came to the hotel.
In the conference room where I talked to Qiu Tuan before, after everyone sat down, Mr. Wan happily said to Wang Bin: "Mr. Wang! Your Tiangong Technology is worthy of being the strongest company in engine research and development in China. In this short time, we actually developed an engine, and it is also a small bypass ratio turbofan engine with a large high-speed aircraft. This really makes us somewhat unexpected.
However, since your Tiangong Technology has been successfully developed and has entered the test drive process, we naturally want to provide you with the greatest support, and in the future, our scientific research funds can also be appropriately tilted towards your Tiangong Technology."
Just after Mr. Wan finished speaking, the two men who came with him nodded and said, "We also agree with Mr. Wan's opinion very much. Of course, this is just our personal opinion. How to implement it depends on the structure of our meeting and discussion at that time."
At this time, Mr. Wan spoke to Wang Bin again: "Mr. Wang, you must know the previous transformation plan, and based on what you said to Qiu Tuan, I want to make sure with you now that what you said to him before is true? You have really developed a turbofan engine with a small bypass ratio, and the maximum thrust of this engine can reach 30 tons?
If it is true, then I agree with the transformation plan you mentioned before, and we will also come up with the best transformation plan. After all, our No. 6 machine is too old to be able to take on the big responsibility without comprehensive transformation.
Even though we have made many improvements to this aircraft before, these improvement solutions are actually far from enough. After all, that hand is helpless."
After saying that, Old Wan sighed helplessly. At the same time, it can be seen from the faces and expressions of Old Wan and others that the military needs a long-range or ultra-long-range combat bomber at this time.
After taking a breath, Wang Bin nodded to Mr. Wan and others and said, "Old Wan! What Qiu Tuan and I said before are true. Our Tiangong Technology is indeed developing a small bypass ratio turbofan engine with a thrust of 30 tons, and this engine has also entered the test drive program. However, the test drive has just begun. If you want to complete all the test drive projects, it will still take some time."
Mr. Wan nodded after listening to Wang Bin's words, and was very happy. So he spoke, "Okay, since you have received your confirmation from Mr. Wang, I'm relieved. Then we can really hold a discussion meeting on this aspect.
After all, there is indeed a very lack of small bypass turbofan engines in China. Not to mention the need of No. 6, even the large bombers we are developing and the stealth aircraft that are already in service require small bypass engines. Of course, the turbofan engines used by fighters are still different from those used on large aircraft, but this at least gives us the hope of more advanced fighters using turbofan engines."
Afterwards, Wang Bin and Mr. Wan and others chatted for a while, and Mr. Wan hurriedly left.
.........
Since Beixing returned, Wang Bin was still thinking that during this meeting at Beixing, Mr. Wan and others gave Tiangong Technology a task, which is to allow Tiangong Technology to complete the small bypass ratio engine that has been developed now, as soon as possible, and it is best to complete it within the year.
At the same time, Mr. Wan and others also gave Wang Bin a new engine development task, that is, the turbofan engine used on fighter jets. According to the requirements of Mr. Wan and others, the maximum diameter of this engine should not be too large, and it is best to have the same engine size as the main models in China.
Secondly, in terms of engine thrust, it must reach at least 18 tons, of course, it is best to reach more than 20 tons, and it must also have the ability to fly at a speed of more than 2.5 times the speed of sound, the ability to fly at an altitude of 25,000 meters, and also have supersonic cruise capabilities, and finally vector functions.
In addition, in terms of R&D time, Wan Lao and the others also hope that Tiangong Technology can complete it as soon as possible, preferably within one or two years.
Although it is very difficult for Tiangong Technology to give Tiangong Technology this research and development task, even for Tiangong Technology today, it is very difficult, but it is not impossible. After all, Wang Bin has a technology mall. If necessary, he can buy the corresponding technology from the mall.
So, when Mr. Wan and others asked him whether he could complete it, Wang Bin directly agreed. Of course, because of the next R&D task of Tiangong Technology, they also passed the proposal to appropriately tilt scientific research funds towards Tiangong Technology.
There were still many people opposing this in the conference room at that time, but basically they were all official aerospace development R&D institutions, especially those that had no R&D results at all, but had a lot of annual funds.
After all, once the scientific research funding is tilted towards Tiangong Technology, it will not have much impact on those large official R&D institutions. After all, these institutions have also developed many successful research and development over the years, and some have even developed top international results. Therefore, Mr. Wan and others may reduce the funds of these institutions. The ultimate benefit is only those institutions that occupy the funds but have no results.
However, the opposition of these people did not change the ideas of Mr. Wan and others. Mr. Wan even got angry on the spot at the meeting and told these people directly that if their R&D institutions still cannot produce results that satisfy them in the next three years, then he would not mind directly cutting off the financial support for these institutions.
And many military personnel directly agreed to Mr. Wan’s statement on the spot.
