Chapter 655 Purpose (1)

Without Guo Tailai reminding, the two generals will definitely push forward this matter. Is it already showing the anxiousness between General He's eyebrows? When did a major general usually show such joy and anger? Isn't it because he really saw hope?

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

"The investment is too big, I can't hold on." Guo Tailai said honestly: "The Osprey's R&D costs about more than 40 billion US dollars to date. Uncle Chu, where do you think I can be worth 40 billion? Even if the domestic research labor cost is low, it will cost 10 billion US dollars to reduce it to half of it! There is always a process of investment and R&D in technology, which cannot be saved!"

When General Chu and General He heard this number, they felt a lot of pain. Is it expensive? Of course it is expensive! Even if it is reduced to 10 billion US dollars, it is ridiculously expensive! But is this thing good? It is obviously a good thing! With this in China, it can be said to be a big bosom!

Compared with the Black Hawk helicopter, the V22 Osprey has increased by about 50% in terms of flight speed and combat radius, 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. The performance improvement of V-280 compared with the V-22 is very high, and it has reached a cruising speed of 520 kilometers per hour and a maximum flight speed of 580 kilometers per hour. The combat radius is at least 930 kilometers and a maximum of 1480 kilometers depending on the load. The performance of V-280 is even much higher than the US Army's requirements for tilt rotor aircraft.

What if there is a group of V280s with higher reliability than V22 Ospreys in China? No need to think that as long as the Air Force is equipped with a small number of equipment, air patrols and rapid assaults in the northwest and southwest can be almost all inclusive. There is no problem with deploying more than a dozen special forces teams at any time within 1,500 kilometers, and it can also provide firepower support.

But such a large investment, as General Chu said, must be cautious and cautious. Unlike Guo Tailai, who made a decision in the company, Guo Tailai can only make a suggestion. Judging from the current situation, it can only be said that the country has the conditions to start, but whether to do it really needs to be more cautious in whether it is necessary to consider more and more carefully, from the needs, uses and from more aspects, rather than just doing it like Guo Tailai.

One thing that is certain is that the price of V280 will definitely not be cheap. Although the cost will drop much more than the V22, it is still much higher than that of ordinary helicopters. Whether the army can be equipped after development and construction is also a big question. Experts need to carefully demonstrate in advance.

This matter is definitely not something that can be decided immediately, and there will definitely be no solution here. Next, General He immediately cares about Guo Tailai's design company: "Does your flight control system still lack experts?"

"It's so scarce!" Guo Tailai immediately changed into a distressed expression and complained: "Uncle, you don't know! That group of Ukrainian experts do have talents in this area, but their technical routes are all from the Soviet Union's stupid and black route. They are extremely unfamiliar with the development of chip integrated circuits. Several of our current experts still have to teach them step by step. Only when they make up for these lessons can they show their abilities!"

"Recently, I will coordinate a group of experts to enrich your design team." General He agreed immediately without saying a word. Guo Tailai has already achieved this. If these domestic research institutes still want to do seven or three and not send real experts, then General He will really have to talk to their leaders in person.

Not to mention anything else, the actual objects and drawings of the marine turbine engine that Guo Tailai brought out were for a research team to study and study. Guo Tailai claimed that he only made one marine engine and did not master other technologies. But if you say this, they might believe that real technical experts would believe that without mastering the core engine technology, can they come up with a mature marine turbine engine with outstanding performance?

That is, Guo Tailai was unwilling to force himself to intervene in this field, so he took out all the drawings for research and helped the country to train a group of researchers. After all, there are professional drawings, detailed objects, and even the production and assembly process, so it is easy to master the technical key points.

Now, the research team on the engine has achieved results. As long as the problems of materials and finishing are solved, the lifespan can be greatly improved.

In fact, except for Guo Tailai, no one knows that the turbine shaft engine that is the same as that marine turbine engine is the engine of the future V280. It is natural that the following one will be selected from Guo Tailai.

Now, Guo Tailai has already made a design comparable to Osprey to this point. From the engine to the appearance model and even to the flight control system, it has been explained clearly. If Guo Tailai has never thought about the design of the whole machine, can he come up with such a complete appearance design? Can he easily carve a complete model? People are just using the excuse of insufficient funds and insufficient talents to leave the project to the country. If someone doesn't know the situation, it would be unreasonable.

General Chu is also a person who knows General He's personality. He believes that this time, there will definitely be a group of people who will retire early.

If Guo Tailai knew about these, Guo Tailai would definitely be wronged. Some things that Guo Tailai really couldn't afford to play from scratch. Not to mention the overall R&D cost of tens of billions of dollars at every turn, it would be enough for Guo Tailai to drink a pot of only studying the engine. Guo Tailai can also play with cars, and the aircraft engine is really a big project.

Guo Tailai’s advantage is that he knows that some mature designs are equivalent to skipping the R&D process, but can these achievements be directly brought out? How to explain it? Therefore, at present, Guo Tailai can only make small fuss and accumulate slowly.

"Fatty, what do you think about the materials used for the rigid wings of this Osprey upgraded model aircraft?" General Chu had carefully studied the project establishment of Guo Tailai's aircraft project. At this moment, he also asked Guo Tailai: "I saw that there is no research and development of this material in the project decomposition of your own aircraft. What were you planning?"

"Uncle, I just played with a big toy myself. Can you find it?" Guo Tailai couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's not something or project that the military wants to use. Does it require such strict review?"

"Just curious." General Chu smiled and said, "Isn't this possible if the Osprey upgrade model is to be used now?"

"Can you say something illegal?" Guo Tailai was speechless, so he could only take a sip of coffee and asked in disappointment.
