"The biggest advantage of ducted blades is to protect the rotor. During ultra-low altitude flying and combat, this kind of ducted blades can rely on external devices to better protect the blades, and at the same time, it can increase
How much thrust output.”
This is just like a submarine. It uses a pump spray and wraps it around the outside. The thrust can be increased because this duct has a gathering effect.
When an ordinary helicopter is flying, you must always pay attention to the situation ahead. If the propeller hits something, the aircraft may be destroyed and everyone will be killed. The ducted helicopter makes it easier to protect yourself.
In fact, the ducted type also has some problems, such as the influence of airflow, etc., but this is not something Qin Tao considers. He just wants to popularize these things.
"Yes, this plan can also be considered." Ivan nodded again: "But we don't have technical reserves. If you have any, we really have to obtain technology from you."
"This is something we need to consider later. Now we can just develop the tilting propeller solution."
The meal was in a harmonious atmosphere. After finishing the meal, Qin Tao waved to Xu Zhengyang, who opened his briefcase and took out a stack of envelopes.
"Everyone, these are some small thoughts from our Mingzhou Group."
Zishenko was the first to take it and opened it. With a smile on his face, there were ten one-hundred-dollar bills inside!
"Mr. Qin, you are so polite!"
Others also opened it one after another. Although they only had eight cards inside, eight hundred dollars was still a huge amount of money for them.
After getting the money, everyone's face was filled with smiles. Even Ivan was no longer entangled and was looking forward to the next trip to the East.
Things were successfully completed!
After sending these people away, Nicholas had a smile on his face: "Qin, you are still great. Before Qian came, they said they were unwilling to go to the East. They said all day long that this is their technology and cannot be leaked."
"No matter how good the technology is, it must be developed. With their capabilities, they simply cannot complete the research and development. If it weren't for our cooperation, this tilt-rotor aircraft would never have been developed, and the Mili Design Bureau would never have developed it."
It will continue to decline, just like the Mikoyan Design Bureau."
Nicholas nodded: "Yes, there are always some people who hold on to so-called technical secrets. This concept should have changed long ago. Especially our domestic companies, the mergers between them are also full of hostility, Mikoyan Design
The bureau is no longer able to operate, and the superiors have always planned for Sukhoi to merge with the Mikoyan Design Bureau, but the Mikoyan Design Bureau resisted."
Speaking of this, Nikolai is no longer able to complain. The Mikoyan Design Bureau can no longer pay wages, but the Sukhoi Design Bureau is thriving. In this way, the Mikoyan Design Bureau does not want to merge.
Mikoyan's background brought him aura, especially in the jet age. In comparison, the Sukhoi Design Bureau was unknown. However, after the collapse of the Red Empire, the Sukhoi Design Bureau relied on the Su-27 to achieve great success.
However, the Mikoyan Design Bureau was discredited due to the failure of the MiG-29 and was in a difficult situation. After being unable to compete with the Yak Design Bureau in the training aircraft project, they were completely marginalized.
Therefore, there are many legends about the merger of Sukhoi Design Bureau and Mikoyan Design Bureau.
As early as 2006, when Damao Aviation Manufacturing Group was established, there was talk that the Mikoyan Design Bureau was merged. Later in 2009, Damao once again announced that the president of Sukhoi Company was also the president of Mikoyan Company. This was also considered
There are signs of mergers, and it is believed that the once glorious Mikoyan Design Bureau is no longer glorious. Voices that there is no longer Mikoyan in the world are constantly appearing.
However, in 2019, there was a new statement: In the field of sixth-generation aircraft, Mikoyan Design Bureau may usher in a turnaround battle! They have all merged, and there is no MiG in the world. Where can the turnaround battle come from?
?This news shows that the two parties are still independent. Although they are both in the same Damao Aviation Manufacturing Group, looking at the list, the presidents of both parties are still independent.
On the one hand, the Mikoyan Design Bureau does not want to be merged, and on the other hand, the Sukhoi Design Bureau does not want to be merged. Neither side has the will, and only the government is forcing it.
Even if they don’t understand the grievances and resentments involved, they will all think that merging the two parties is the best option. Even people like Nikola think that merging is the best option.
Qin Tao nodded: "For proud aircraft designers, they would rather the design bureau disappear than be merged. However, there is still hope for the Mikoyan Design Bureau."
"What hope?"
"Joint research and development with Ah San." Qin Tao said: "As long as we can find Ah San to provide funds, we can let them live a prosperous life and regain their former glory. If Ah San can't do it, the Parthian Kingdom can too.
.”
Nicholas nodded: "Qin, your idea is good. Let's go to the Mikoyan Design Bureau together next."
Qin Tao was a little surprised: "Isn't it a little too late?"
"You should know that those who work in technology are night owls, and they probably haven't slept at this time."
"They still have projects?" Qin Tao was very surprised.
"There is no project, so they can't sleep even more," Nicholas said.
Qin Tao smiled: "Okay, let's go over and have a look."
Mikoyan Design Bureau is located in the core area of Moscow. Qin Tao has been here more than once. He remembers that he seemed to have the idea of real estate here. If this place is bulldozed and built to build luxury houses, he will definitely make a lot of money.
However, these technical people will certainly not agree. After all, they have left many memories here, and they will never see this place disappear.
Nicholas showed his identity at the door, and the other party immediately let him go. The car drove to the bottom of the office building. You can see that some rooms above are still lit with lights, especially on the third floor, which is the chief engineer's office.
"Did you see that? I knew they weren't asleep yet. Let's go up and have a chat."
"I remember the last time I came here, the commander-in-chief was Belyakov. Is he still the same now?" Qin Tao asked.
"No, he has retired. The current chief commander is his former assistant, Alexei Smetanikov."
In the office, the lights were dim. In order to save electricity bills, Smetanikov replaced the 100-watt light bulb above his head with a 15-watt light bulb. This kind of light was yellowish and gave him a different artistic conception.
He held a rag in his left hand and a shiny black pistol in his right hand. He wiped it repeatedly, over and over again. He raised his head and looked at everything in the room.
The furnishings were the same as when he first came to the design bureau decades ago. The two ordinary sofas had worn off their leather. The coffee table in the middle of the sofa had a few holes in the covering, and the thermos bottle on it was decades old.
Yes, these have been used by generations of chief engineers.
He still remembered that when he had just reported, in this office, the first chief engineer Artyom Mikoyan had encouraged him as a newcomer, but now, they had no choice but to do so.
He looked at the wall, where there were portraits of several people: Mikoyan, Grevich, Belyakov... These people are all excellent chief engineers, leading the Mikoyan Design Bureau to glory. Now
Woolen cloth?
He is ashamed of these people.
There was a red telephone on the desk. At this time, the concierge was calling to inform him that a guest had arrived. However, the line of the telephone had been unplugged. At this last moment, Smetanikov
He doesn't want anyone to influence him.
He slowly raised the pistol and pointed it at his head, but felt that this was not good enough, so he opened his mouth and stuffed the muzzle of the gun into his mouth.
Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. Dear chief engineers, I'm sorry. I don't have the ability to lead the design bureau to glory. This is what I can do.
Boom!
At this moment, the door was pushed open.
Two people stood at the door, looking at him with surprised eyes.
"Chief Commander Smetanikov, what are you doing?" Nikolai said: "The thing in your hand is not bread, that can't be eaten."
Smetanikov turned his head in surprise and looked at the door. Besides Nikolay, there was another figure.
"Mr. Qin?"
"Ahem, we had dinner and had nothing to do, so we walked around. We passed by here and planned to visit an old friend." Qin Tao said: "General Smetanikov, would you like to take that first?"
Put your things down?"
Smetanikov put down his gun and forced a smile on his face: "Welcome, welcome both of you, Mr. Qin, you were the one who recommended us to sell the MiG-29K to Asan, which made our Mikoyan Design Bureau go through several years.
Years of comfortable life, we always remember your contribution. You are the benefactor of our Mikoyan Design Bureau."
This guy is indeed an emotional person. How can such a person be a good chief engineer? Qin Tao sighed in his heart. He came here by chance today, but he didn't expect that the time was just right. He met this guy and wanted to commit suicide. Suicide is a sign of weakness. Are you here?
If you commit suicide here, you might as well go to the boss and force him to give you funds.
However, this matter cannot be said openly to save this guy from shame.
"No, I'm just following the trend." Qin Tao said: "Now, you can continue to cooperate with Ah San."
"Continue? Asan no longer plans to purchase MiG 29K carrier-based aircraft. In the export market, we have never been able to compete with the Su 27. So far, we have not even had an order for one."
"But you have research and development capabilities." Qin Tao said: "Your MiG 1.44 is still the strongest fighter of this era."
"So what, we can't perfect it on our own. Without regular service, we can't export and make money." Smetanikov had a wry smile on his face.
"Then you should find a big funder to provide you with research and development funds."
Big financier?
Smetanikov's face was full of expectation: "Mr. Qin, please tell me, who will provide us with research and development funds?"
"Of course it's Ah San." Qin Tao said: "You have a good relationship with Ah San. Last time, you exported a large amount of MiG 29K to Ah San. Of course, you can also bring Ah San into the team this time to develop the MiG 1.44.
"
"Ah San is not satisfied with the performance of our batch of MiG-29Ks. Now, the French are cooperating with them to promote Rafale fighter jets as carrier-based aircraft. How could Ah San come to develop it with us?"
"How is it impossible? The MiG-29K is only a third-generation aircraft. Your MiG-1.44 is a proper fourth-generation aircraft. It is one generation behind, and it is also a heavy-duty aircraft." Qin Tao said: "Ah San has been trying
They have achieved new achievements in the aviation field, and their self-developed LCA is a proof. Now, if you recruit Ah San to join the team, Ah San can only dream of it."
"Impossible, Sukhoi Design Bureau approached Asan, but Asan rejected it."
"That's because the Sukhoi Design Bureau is not sincere. If you promise that Asan will share your technology as long as he invests, let's see if Asan will refuse."
Smetanikov immediately shook his head: "Share the technology with them? Absolutely not. This is the most advanced technology of our Mikoyan Design Bureau."
"If you don't share, how can Ah San come to join the team? In addition, you have to give Ah San more benefits, such as promising that Ah San can produce independently in their factory in the future, and they even have the power to sell
Third country.”
"No, no, this is absolutely impossible. We cannot allow them to obtain a full set of technologies and even produce them independently!"
Nikolai watched the excitement and saw how Qin Tao persuaded the other party. Although this Smetanikov was weak and wanted to commit suicide when he was desperate, he was also very determined. How could he give in on issues of principle?
"You make this promise first, and whether you want to fulfill it later is another matter." Qin Tao said: "At least we have to get Ah San's funds first."
"Mr. Qin, you mean to lie to them? How can this be done? How can we deceive Ah San?"
"How can this be called cheating?" Qin Tao was a little helpless: "You first invite Ah San to participate in research and development, and everyone will jointly contribute money and technology, for example, each of them will contribute 6 billion U.S. dollars. After Ah San's funds arrive,
You find that Ah San has no skills. At this time, you can only take the lead by yourself and reduce the subsystems that Ah San is responsible for. Is this normal? When the research and development is completed, you find that there are serious overruns and ask Ah San to continue to increase funds. Ah San refuses.
If you are willing, then you have no choice but to take back the promised benefits. This is entirely because of Asan's problem and has nothing to do with your Mikoyan Design Bureau."
"Mr. Qin, Asan has suffered losses more than once, will they be fooled?" Nicholas couldn't help but ask.
On the aircraft carrier Super Sun King, Ah San was severely cheated. Ah San should have grown up by now. Can Ah San continue to be deceived now?
"An aircraft carrier is an aircraft carrier, and a fighter plane is a fighter plane. In the field of fighter planes, Asan has a big shortcoming. They have long been envious of us when they see that we in the East have modern stealth aircraft. Now the Mikoyan Design Bureau has reached out and pulled
As soon as Ah San got there, Ah San couldn't help but follow him." Qin Tao said: "If your Mikoyan Design Bureau doesn't take action quickly, then maybe the Sukhoi Design Bureau will come up with a similar plan.
It will give Ah San more benefits."
Speaking of Sukhoi Design Bureau, the expression on Zishenko's face immediately became solemn.
Can Sukhoi Design Bureau be allowed to take the lead?
Of course not!
"Okay, then we will try to find Asan. However, our MiG 1.44 project is still not a stealth aircraft. We once expected plasma stealth technology, but now there are no relevant supporting units for us to develop it."
"This is simple, you just need to modify the appearance. You know our J-31A, right? Our fighter plane achieves the improvement of its stealth capability through appearance modification. The same is true for your MiG 1.44. This
This is also the technology that Ah San needs to pay to help you develop. If everything is ready, then what else does Ah San need to invest in? Just let them spend money to purchase it."
Tishenko nodded.
Simply modify the appearance and then improve the stealth performance. This is the simplest solution. You cannot make major changes, otherwise the cost will skyrocket.
"You are using a ventral air intake. This solution cannot use an S-shaped inlet to cover the engine. However, you can also simply modify the shape and use a DSI inlet to cover the blades. The effect is also good."
DSI air intake? Ji Shenke grimaced: "Mr. Qin, we don't have this technology."
The DSI air inlet is a bulging inlet. A bulging is used to replace the original inlet boundary layer partition and adjustment plate to simplify the weight. Even though it is just a bulging, the requirements are very high. The appearance is slightly changed, and the aerodynamics
Efficiency will drastically change accordingly.
Only the United States and the East have it in the world, and no other country dares to do this.
The same goes for Da Mao. If he could have done it in the era of the Red Empire, he might have been able to figure it out, but now his research and development strength is weak and he simply doesn't have this ability.
"This is simple. You give me the relevant data and I will help you complete the matching. The processing requires advanced CNC technology. If you can't do it, I can help." Qin Tao said: "Anyway, Ah San is paying."
Mr. Qin has to have a purpose when he comes to help. It would be ridiculous if such a big person still believes in pure friendship. Now, Qin Tao has made his request: also help with the development and get a share of the pie.
Ji Shenke thought briefly and then nodded: "Okay. Mr. Qin, thank you for your help. You once again saved our Mikoyan Design Bureau from danger."
Qin Tao came over twice and helped twice. Ji Shenke was very grateful.
Qin Tao smiled: "Mikoyan Design Bureau is the most proud design bureau in the Red Empire. We are not willing to see Mikoyan Design Bureau disappear. This is not only your loss, but also the loss of the whole world. In addition to looking for Asan
In addition to solving the funding problem, you can also go to Parthia to solve it."
Parthian country?
Zishenko's eyes became complicated.
Parthia already has a self-developed stealth aircraft, and during the test flight, a hairy man appeared next to the aircraft. Because he looked similar to Mikoyan's designer, the Mikoyan Design Bureau was targeted.
Now, what does Mr. Qin mean by mentioning this?
"They don't seem to need our technology, right?" Ji Shenke asked, don't treat us as fools.
"Of course they do. They are only developing medium-sized fighters. They still need heavy-duty fighters. Since the Tomcat fighter era, they have been accustomed to operating heavy-duty fighters. They are not satisfied with the existing medium-sized fighters."
"However, if we cooperate with them, our reputation will be damaged."
"Which one is more important, reputation or profit?" Qin Tao said: "We have an idiom in the East, a person in a warehouse knows etiquette. It is impossible for a person who is hungry to pay attention to etiquette, justice and shame. For you, now
The most important thing is to get the money and survive, and, believe me, having a good relationship with the Parthian Kingdom will also be of great benefit to your future strategy."
It was already early in the morning when we left Mikoyan Design Bureau, and the streets of Moscow were sparsely populated. Occasionally, we could see people on the roadside, looking drunk, not just men, but even women.
"Qin, we are going to your place soon, don't you plan to stay at my house?" Nicholas asked.
Qin Tao smiled and shook his head: "No, it's not good if our relationship is too close. After all, there are many people watching."
Nikolai nodded, and just as he was about to call Zaitsev, who was driving in front, to stop, he saw a woman holding a wine bottle, wandering over and preparing to cross the road.
Zaitsev put his foot on the brake pedal, trying to slow down and let the drunk woman pass, but then he felt something was wrong. There seemed to be some other drunks around him. They seemed unconscious, but in fact they were
A situation of siege formed.
At this moment, without hesitation, he switched his foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal again, and the Mercedes-Benz immediately roared.
At the same time, he pressed the horn twice.
Didi!
The woman over there seemed to be frightened and looked over. Suddenly, she was no longer in the drunken state just now, and her body moved aside quickly!
Everything happened so fast!
Xu Zhengyang, who was riding in the car with him, had already taken out the guy from his waist, ready to deal with any eventuality. However, the car sped quickly and left the street here, and nothing unusual happened again.
"That person just now probably wanted to stop us on purpose, but his motive is unclear. He might just want to rob us on the road, or he might have an ulterior motive," Zaitsev said.
Nikolai's face was gloomy: "Huh, the security in Moscow is too bad. Tomorrow I will go to the relevant departments to criticize them. What do they do for food?"
Qin Tao sighed helplessly.
"What's wrong? Qin?" Nicholas was a little curious: "Don't worry, I will protect you in Moscow."
"Oh, this is just a small matter, but if the country knows about it, they will definitely protect me. Even if I want to come here in the future, I will have to go through repeated approvals. If those people come for me, forget it.
I'm afraid it's coming for you, or it's just an ordinary robbery."
This is what Qin Tao is worried about.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhengyang picked up his cell phone: "I received an order from my superiors asking you to change your residence."
"Qin, let's go to my house." Nicholas invited again: "Anyway, everyone knows about our relationship."
"Okay, let's go." Qin Tao said with a bitter face.
"Qin, is the help you received at Mikoyan Design Bureau today really just to help them?" Nicholas had more time to spend with Qin Tao, so he continued chatting.
Of course not!
On the one hand, it is to dig a hole for Ah San and make Ah San spend another sum of money. On the other hand, it is to prevent Da Mao from developing a stealth machine. If Ah San cooperates with Mikoyan, then the Sukhoi Design Bureau will have no foreign aid. Su-
The research and development of 57 will have to be slowed down.
After all, with the current situation of Damao, it is definitely not possible to support two projects at the same time.
However, you can’t say these words to Nicholas.
"Of course not, our main purpose is to trick Ah San." Qin Tao answered directly.
