Qin Tao's answer was calm and gentle, while the other person's answer was a hearty smile.
"Yes, Qin, you are right. This is our right. It's a pity that you didn't notify us in advance, otherwise we would have joined in the fun."
"Of course, we can contact several more countries in the future and conduct joint maritime exercises together."
"So, Qin, our aircraft carrier must help us repair it as soon as possible. In this way, we will have enough strength to conduct joint exercises with you."
"Of course there is no problem."
"Also, Qin, we found that your aircraft carriers carry more and more types of aircraft." Nikolai's voice sounded again: "Especially, there are fourth-generation heavy-duty stealth carrier-based aircraft.
It’s really enviable!”
The world's first, fourth-generation heavy-duty carrier-based stealth aircraft! Even the Americans don't have it. Only Dongfang has achieved this capability. Dongfang's naval equipment is already the best in the world!
Nicholas expressed his envy.
"Well, I don't know much about this. Nikolai, you should know that I am a shipbuilder. At most, I have only built joint fighter jets. As for this kind of heavy aircraft, I don't know."
"Yes, this is not a product of your group." Nikolai replied: "However, I want to know, now that you have this kind of extra fighter, are there any excess J-15s that you previously equipped?"
Extra J-15?
Qin Tao suddenly understood what Nikola was thinking. He wanted to come to us to purchase second-hand carrier-based aircraft?
Lao Maozi's aircraft carrier is almost repaired, but carrier-based aircraft are still a problem.
Those Su-33s are too old to be able to undertake modern air combat missions. If you want to upgrade, you have to spend money. What Lao Maozi lacks most is money!
What should I do if I don’t have money? Either continue to make do and use the old Su-33, which will lose one if it crashes, or use the MiG-29K. This carrier-based aircraft was ordered by Ah San and has been completed with the help of Ah San’s funds.
With the upgrade of this kind of carrier-based aircraft, the weapon system is more advanced than that of the Su-33, but after all, the body is too light to carry enough weapons and equipment, and its long-term cruising capability is even insufficient. I still like the Su-33.
Now, there is an opportunity. Does Dongfang have an obsolete J-15? Even if it is obsolete, it was produced in the late 1990s, which is only five or six years ago. It is very brand-new.
If they buy these back, their navy can replace their guns with cannons.
Hearing Nicholas's words, Qin Tao had a complicated feeling in his heart. The once proud old man has now been reduced to picking up second-hand rags? What about the scenery back then? Even during the period when the Red Empire collapsed, the old man
Mao Zi could also make a living by relying on the empire's inheritance and selling it constantly. Now, he can't sell it anymore.
"Nicholas, I don't know either. I can only ask you. However, you should know that this kind of J-15 can only be equipped with weapons produced by our Dongfang. If you buy it back, you have to buy our matching ones."
Just ammunition.”
Back then, when we first started cooperating on the Su-27SK project, Lao Maozi refused to open the weapons interface at any cost. He only wanted to sell missiles. If the Eastern Air Force wanted to train and deal with possible conflicts, it had to constantly start from
If they buy missiles there, they can continue to make money in the future.
Therefore, later on, when the J-11 was improved, it was fully equipped with domestic avionics and could operate a full set of domestic weapons. As for the imported weapons? With the first batch of Su-27SK and the domestically produced J-11
Gradually eliminated, these weapons and equipment will also gradually be withdrawn from active service. Dongfang will not be stuck in this aspect.
Now, it's finally Lao Maozi's turn. If they want to purchase second-hand fighters from their own side, they need to purchase their own missiles. Our own side will definitely not open weapons interfaces for them to match their own missiles.
"Yes, this is really troublesome." Nicholas's deep voice came from the other side: "Please help me and ask first, and we will talk about the weapons later."
"good."
Putting down the phone, Qin Tao felt mixed.
"Mr. Qin, do you want to ask the troops?" Xu Zhengyang asked from the side.
"Of course not. Why are you asking? My father-in-law won't let me get involved in the army's affairs, and the army is not in such a bad state that it needs to sell its equipment."
For the Eastern Army, it has always carried forward its excellent traditions. The new three years, the old three years, and another three years of mending and repairing. Of course, the same is true for fighter aircraft. So many retired Liuye are still sealed. The J-15 is so advanced.
How could a carrier-based aircraft be sold as second-hand?
Even if a batch of aircraft carriers are eliminated from the 002 aircraft carrier, they can still be equipped on the 003 aircraft carrier. After all, this kind of fighter aircraft with external pylons can carry a large amount of weapons and equipment in one takeoff. After the stealth aircraft takes out the enemy's air defense equipment, these aircraft
A non-stealth aircraft can be used as a bomb truck.
Even if the aircraft carrier cannot fit it, it can still be placed on land. At worst, it can be stored and can be used at any time when needed in the future.
"Then you still agreed to Nicholas?"
"Of course I have to promise him, I have to give him hope first." Qin Tao said: "If I refuse directly, he will still think that I am not helping."
Xu Zhengyang smiled and said nothing.
Sunshine, beach, seagulls, this is really a rare place to relax!
The reason why the years are peaceful is because someone is guarding us silently, and it is because there are great soldiers who are carrying the burden forward!
Qin Tao was just about to get in the car and go to Shuangsha Island Fishery Resort together. At this moment, he saw a plane flying in the distance.
The fuselage of that aircraft was similar to that of a helicopter. It was relatively thick and did not pursue a good streamlined shape. However, it had wings and a propeller on each side.
The appearance of this aircraft is very unique, very similar to the American V22!
What kind of plane is this?
Just as Qin Tao stopped to watch, the plane was already flying closer. Its speed was getting slower and slower, and its propellers began to tilt upward slowly. Finally, all the propellers turned to the top, and it turned into a helicopter.
!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Our tilt-rotor aircraft has begun test flights?"
As the boss of Mingzhou Group, it is really embarrassing to not know the progress of some of his R&D projects.
After hearing Qin Tao's question, the officer on the side said: "Yes, this kind of aircraft has begun to enter the testing stage. In order to verify whether this kind of aircraft can meet the needs of the navy, it has been flying among the islands and reefs here recently.
, conduct various tests.”
Although many islands and reefs have been filled in here, not every island and reef has an airport. Where there is no airport, you need to use helicopters or seaplanes, which are inconvenient. In such places,
This is exactly the stage where tiltrotor aircraft comes into play!
When the tilt-rotor aircraft began to fall, Qin Tao and others could feel its power more intuitively. After all, this is an aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of thirty tons! It is equivalent to three straight twenty.
Its body length is 178 meters, and its wingspan is 145 meters. Like the V22 Osprey, its engine is also arranged on the outer edge of the wing. After all, this can minimize the collision between the two propellers and the body.
, the diameter of the propeller's rotor is five or six meters, and the structure of several propellers cannot be seen during the rotation, but you can see the stirring posture of the propeller, and you can hear the whistling wind.
The engine has been fixed in its original position and has not moved. A cone-shaped fairing protruding from the front end of the engine rotates with the propeller and reaches the vertical position. Such an aircraft looks full of science fiction. No wonder it is in the Avatar movie.
Use this kind of plane.
Seeing that Qin Tao didn't leave, the others didn't leave either, and followed him to watch the fun.
The plane shook slightly, but it still landed steadily. After landing, the cabin door at the back opened, and a stretcher cart was pushed out. There was a person lying on it, and several medical staff followed, and they got off the plane.
After that, he quickly headed to the base's infirmary.
"Who is injured?" Qin Tao was a little worried.
"It's an exercise. This tilt-rotor aircraft is used for medical exercises." the officer replied.
Only then did Qin Tao understand, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the plane: "Can I go and have a look?"
"Of course, the plane still belongs to your Mingzhou Group, so of course you have the power."
Qin Tao smiled and strode forward.
At this time, other people on the plane also came down one after another, some wearing flight suits and some wearing work clothes. They seemed to be pilots and manufacturer representatives. When one of them saw Qin Tao, he immediately waved his arms excitedly.
"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin!"
"Oscar?" Qin Tao recognized it. This was the technician he had tricked from Lao Maozi. Every year at the annual meeting at the end of the year, he would shirk his work and focus on research. If it weren't for Qin Tao's good memory,
I really couldn't recognize it at once.
"Yes, Mr. Qin, according to your plan, we have built this kind of aircraft. We can be sure that this kind of aircraft is more advanced than the American V22. From the first flight to now, we have made hundreds of flights.
Maintained full safety record."
Needless to say, Yankee's V22 had frequent accidents during the test flight stage. Even after it entered service, various accidents often occurred, often resulting in grounding.
Until now, there have been no accidents on our side.
"Well, this kind of safety must be maintained. After all, aircraft like ours do not have life-saving capabilities."
If it is a helicopter, in the event of an accident, the rotor can be used as a parachute to slow down the fall, and then rely on the anti-crash ability of the landing gear to save the lives of the people on board. Although the actual effect is not very good, at least it is not impossible.
There are no tilt-rotor aircraft.
The large plates on both sides cannot use the rotors as parachutes, and accidents usually occur during the most dangerous flight state transition. Once an accident occurs, there is almost no reaction time, let alone ejection.
"Of course." Oscar was very proud: "Mr. Qin, are you here specifically to see our test flight?"
Qin Tao nodded awkwardly: "Of course." He remembered that when he was in Qiongzhou, Xu Zhengyang once said that he wanted to report to him, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't listen. So he made a big mistake in the car. Ordinarily, he should
Wasn't it arranged deliberately by Xu Zhengyang?
"Come, Mr. Qin, let me introduce to you. Both sides use the AEP5000 turboprop engine developed by ourselves. The maximum output power of this engine is 5,000 kilowatts, which can fly our aircraft very easily.
"
Although there is already a D227 engine in China, this engine is a propeller-fan engine after all. There are two shafts in the front that drive the two propellers to rotate in reverse. It is not easy to design a tilt rotor with such a structure, so you have to start from scratch.
Fortunately, Dongfang's aviation engine technology has also developed, and it is a piece of cake to build such a 5,000-kilowatt turboprop engine.
"This engine adopts a three-shaft design. There are four-stage low-pressure compressors and two-stage high-pressure compressors in the front, one-stage high-pressure turbine and one-stage low-pressure turbine in the back, and finally there is a three-stage free turbine to drive the front propeller."
Although this is also a three-shaft, it is different from the three-shaft turbofan engine. It is not divided into three areas: high, middle and low. It just uses one of the shafts to transmit power. However, this is not easy either.
, which means that Dongfang has completely mastered the technology of three-rotor engines.
Over the years, many of the engines produced by Dongfang are three-rotor engines, including the D227 and 40-megawatt gas turbines. After digestion and absorption, they have become readily available and can be used calmly.
"Turboprop engines of this level have many uses. Our Yunqi, Yun8, and Yun9 can all be replaced, and some civil aviation light passenger aircraft can also be replaced." Oscar told us, and he had long regarded himself as an Oriental.
.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Yes, not bad." Qin Tao nodded: "Our engine is very good. However, the key is to look at the flight control."
"Of course." Oscar said: "In the flight control system, we use the most advanced Loongson processor. With the power of the processor, we can process a large amount of data at the same time and respond quickly to the aircraft's flight conversion process.
, almost all of them are automatic, and the pilot can’t react at all.”
Being strong in only one aspect is not really strong. You must be strong in every aspect so that you will not be choked by others! Now, Dongfang already has this strength, a complete industrial chain, and all the parts.
They can all produce independently, which is still the strongest.
"Come on, Mr. Qin, let's come up from the back and I'll show you around the plane." Oscar waved to him excitedly.
This aircraft is similar to a transport aircraft. There is a hatch at the tail. After opening, it can be flipped over to contact the ground and become a platform for loading and unloading. The width inside is limited and ordinary vehicles cannot drive in, but it is still not possible to drive special vehicles of special forces.
questionable.
If you want to transport people, some small pandas can be quickly supported inside for people to ride on.
This time it was in medical care mode, so it was empty inside, mainly filled with stretchers for patients to lie on.
Passing through the cabin, you can enter the front, which is a two-person driving system. Each person has a large-size LCD screen in front of them, which looks very sci-fi.
At this time, there was another pilot setting up the flight control computer inside. She was a dashing female pilot with short hair and ears. When she heard the sound outside, she turned around and showed a sweet smile.
"Mr. Qin, you are welcome to inspect."
"Li Can?" Qin Tao was surprised: "Are you here to fly this plane?"
"Yes, I said at that time that if there is a tilt-rotor aircraft, then I will definitely fly it. I will be the best helicopter pilot and conquer the most advanced aircraft!"
Looking at this female pilot with a bright smile, Qin Tao was very emotional. The test flight of this brand-new aircraft is very dangerous, but the girl in front of him is not afraid of danger and wants to control the most advanced aircraft.
, it is precisely because of these people that our military research and development will develop rapidly and our technology will progress!
"Mr. Qin? Mr. Qin!"
Only then did Qin Tao come back to his senses: "Li Can, how is this kind of airplane different from a helicopter when it flies?"
"The biggest difference is that it is much faster. After switching to horizontal flight, it can be twice as fast as a helicopter. I think that when this kind of aircraft matures, it will be a revolutionary improvement for our equipment. Whether it is military strength
Delivery, long-distance anti-submarine warfare, and disaster relief in peacetime will all play a major role."
It can lift and land like a helicopter and fly like a fixed-wing aircraft. This kind of aircraft is really awesome!
Li Can is very satisfied with this kind of aircraft.
"Well, this is the advantage of the tilt-rotor aircraft. However, this is a brand-new aircraft after all. It may encounter various risks during the flight. You must be careful and avoid being impatient when taking off and landing.
You must be careful, and if there is danger, protecting yourself is the first priority.”
The propeller of the tilt-rotor aircraft is huge, so it is impossible to take off and land like a conventional aircraft. The propeller can easily wipe the ground and can only be achieved through state transition, which involves great risks.
"yes."
"By the way, what's the name of this plane?"
"In our internal design, it is called Zhi-30. The specific name has not been given yet." Li Can said: "Mr. Qin, do you want to give it a name?"
Straight -30?
The tilt-rotor aircraft is a brand-new aircraft type that does not yet have a corresponding Chinese character. Because it can take off and land vertically, it is temporarily classified as a helicopter, which is actually unscientific.
Tilt -20? Spin -20? None of these seem appropriate.
While Qin Tao was deep in thought, a communications soldier hurried over from outside.
"Report, we just received a distress signal at sea. While one of our fishing boats was fishing in Sea No. 18, a fisherman on the boat suddenly fell ill and asked for rescue!"
"Let's go!" Li Can said: "Sea No. 18 is three hundred kilometers away from here, and the helicopter is too slow to go there! It just so happens that our plane has a sling device that can lift the sick fishermen up!"
Oscar also nodded: "Yes, let's go!"
"I'll go too." Qin Tao said.
"No!" Almost everyone said in unison, Mr. Qin, you can't risk your life.
