Chapter 1537: Minshan and Falcon

Tan Zhenhua did not continue to play mystery, but bluntly announced his "ambition"-he wanted to invest in an advanced trainer with dual small push engines, and frankly, the reason for this idea is because of the current trend. Looking at it, China will be equipped with a large number of two models of twin-engine heavy fighters, namely the Su-27 "Flanker" and the JH 7 "Flying Leopard". With the current training system, the students who have come down from the "Jiang 7", It is still very difficult to adapt to driving a dual-engine heavy third-generation fighter. The span between the models is a bit large, and it is best to have a transition in the middle, and his idea is to use a dual-engine small push Advanced trainer to transition.
Everyone has heard it. In fact, Tan Zhenhua said "transition" is a euphemism. If this type of advanced trainer is really available, then students who are scheduled to fly those two heavy fighters in the future, why do they still have to go to "fighter education" 7" Go up and toss it? Isn't it necessary?
While everyone was still digesting Tan Zhenhua’s impactful idea, and secretly speculating that this new model would be used by that design firm, Tan Zhenhua went on to throw out a bolder idea-he said: "In fact, Can this type of advanced trainer be sold as an attack aircraft? For many small third-world countries in the world, expensive third-generation fighters are a goal that they cannot reach, even the "Fierce Dragon". Light fighters are already their ceiling. Therefore, in the future, this advanced trainer must have certain air defense and ground attack capabilities. In this way, those small and poor countries can use this aircraft for multiple purposes. It can not only take on the duty of training new pilots, maintain a certain level of organization, but also provide a certain degree of air-to-ground strike capability. I believe it will be very popular."
Yes, this is not just to replace the "Jianjiao VII", but also to get involved in the function of "Strong 5", but if you think about it, it seems, it seems, it makes sense.
That is the problem. It is really not a simple matter to build such a brand-new aircraft from scratch. You can see that the "J-10" has been formally established in 1987. It has been 5 years since it has only begun to build a new aircraft. A prototype of the "Flying Leopard" that year seemed to be surprisingly fast. In fact, when Tan Zhenhua intervened, Chen Yijian and others had done pre-research for many years. Even the aerodynamic shape had already had multiple plans. Tan Zhenhua was just One of them was selected for investment and development and the project was realized.
"The advanced trainer I envisioned doesn't have to start from scratch." Tan Zhenhua explained with a smile: "As far as I know, the Yakovlev Design Bureau has a very suitable model, the Yak 130. This aircraft is the former The Soviet Russia was designed to replace the L-39C Albatross advanced trainer that was gradually reaching its end of life. In 1988, it issued the design task book, MiG Design Bureau, Miyashishev Design Bureau, Sukhoi Design Bureau and Yakovle The Design Bureau participated in the bidding. In the end, the Yak 130 scheme won the bid and the project development was started in 1989. However, after the aerodynamic and overall layout design was completed, the project had to be suspended due to the split of Soviet Russia. The future is uncertain. I plan to talk with the Yakovlev Design Bureau and introduce the existing results of this aircraft. In this way, we can save a lot of development time. And I want to point out that the original target engine of the Yak 130 is AI22, but in accordance with the requirements of the original design task book, Ivchenko Design Bureau still needs to make some improvements to the AI22 engine.
I knew it would be like this!
When people do things, one step and three steps are already masters, but this evildoer, one step he can see ten steps!
He got AI22. At first, everyone thought it was to adapt to the "K8 trainer" project undertaken by Hongdu Factory and Pakistan Railway. He took part in the project that he was deliberately evaded, solving problems on the one hand, and solving problems on the other. It is also an intangible declaration of strength; but he didn’t want to fight, and then he proposed a more ambitious plan to further improve the AI22 engine, and use it as a driving force to develop another advanced trainer aircraft. He even even this type of aircraft. The sources of prototypes are all thought out!
Judging from this posture, he has already had a comprehensive plan. Then, with his temperament, he will definitely not stop until he achieves his goal. In other words, the next thing is actually simple. Everyone depends on their ability. Just grab this project from Tan Zhenhua!
Regardless of his ambitions, these people here know the simplest truth-to cooperate with Tan Zhenhua, there is meat!
As a result, the atmosphere of the next meeting suddenly changed from a harmonious atmosphere to a smell full of gunpowder...
The final result was a bit unexpected, but it is reasonable to think about it. The Gas Turbine Institute and Guiyang Hangfa Manufacturing Group reached an agreement that the results of the institute’s future small launches will be handed over to this factory for actual engineering. West Air Development will not participate in the production-it is not that West Air Development is modest, mainly because the recent orders of West Air Development are too full. There are so many engine orders for export and domestic sales, and the department must balance it. You can't starve to death at the same time, can you? Moreover, although the Guiyang Hangfa Manufacturing Group built a factory when it was engaged in third-line construction, it has made great progress in recent years. The quality of its "turbojet 7" and "turbojet 13" engines is stable. The military's evaluation Has been good.
Another project that introduced the "Jacques 130" technology was included in the Hongdu Plant. This is because there are already 70% of the Hongdu Plant’s former chief engineer, the current director of the Hongdu Plant’s Science and Technology Committee, and the "Strong Five" this year. The chief designer of the fighter, the chief designer of China’s first hydrogen bomb carrier "Hurricane One", and the winner of the National Science and Technology Progress Special Award in 1985, Mr. Lu Xiaopeng, Mr. Lu also personally participated in this meeting, and publicly declared at the meeting "Since Tan Zhenhua intends to introduce the Yak 130 and develop an advanced trainer/attack aircraft on it, there is no doubt that this type of fighter will replace some of the tasks of the "Strong 5" in the future, and will also be in line with export orders. "Strong 5" is partially overlapped and has a clear competitive relationship-it is to grab his Lao Lu’s job. Rather than having this bowl of food be stolen by others in the future, it is better to grab Hongdu Factory’s own and trainer. It was originally one of the strengths of Hongdu Factory, who of you dare not accept it?"
Mr. Lu is very old, Dexun, he was the chief designer of China’s first trainer aircraft "Jiaojiao 1". Who can refuse this qualification? Who dares not accept? If you really want to talk about it, whether Song Wenhua or Chen Yijian, they are all half a generation later than the old man Lu. Among these people, Wu Daguan can compete with him. Now he rolls up his sleeves and ends. If you a job, others can just retreat.
Only Tan Zhenhua is happy in his heart-you see, there are some things, there is providence in the dark. In his previous life, the Yak 130 finally entered China through the Hongdu factory, and its final development model was an advanced trainer with excellent performance. L15 "Falcon" and AI22 engine? Coincidentally, Guiyang Aero Engine Group is also working on its localization, but it seems that it has been suspended before it is fully accomplished. The engine code is "Minshan".
Of course, with the participation of Tan Er in this time and space, it can't stop even if it wants to stop!
Also, the nicknames of "Minshan" and "Falcon" are quite good, so there is no need to waste brain cells, just so happy to decide!
