Chapter 964: The first test project

After stepping off the plane, Pirlo, the sales manager of Agusta, who came with him, had confidence on his face. He believed that his helicopter would surely win the top spot in this bidding.
Of course, they also value Han Guo’s bidding very seriously. They did not send their products directly to them like other companies do. Just like Ji Guoren, they don’t even look at their helicopters. Taking off from the plateau is simply to join in the excitement, and has no intention of using real skills at all.
Of course, Agusta Corporation knows the significance of this tender in Han, after all, until now, Han did not have a modern helicopter. The domestic market in Han is quite large, and its own A109 helicopter has developed into A series is definitely the most suitable choice.
And this time, in order to bid for the plateau model, they also replaced their helicopters with new engines, two 470-kilowatt Turbomeca Ahye 1K1 turboshaft engines. The original two Allison 250-C20B turboshaft engines, with a single takeoff power of 313 kilowatts, can be found that the power of the engines has increased by more than half!
Although the power is still not very bad, the self-weight of this helicopter is only one and a half tons, and the maximum take-off weight is only 3 tons. When this engine is installed, the power performance is simply completely reborn.
Historically, this plateau helicopter, code-named A109K, was developed only in 1983, but now, in order to catch up with the bidding of this Han Chinese, they have made improvements ahead of time and are confident that Han Got your order!
The Han Chinese did not say whether they want a light helicopter or a medium helicopter. What the Han Chinese say is a plateau helicopter. As long as they can be used on the plateau, it will do.
Moreover, A109K is used on the plateau. Other models can be used on the plain. It uses a modular design and will soon form a series that penetrates all aspects of Han.
With the addition of A109, this bidding has finally reached a white-hot stage.
The day is short, but the night is long. This night, I don't know how many people are destined to lose sleep, thinking about the next day's strategy.
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was still dark. In the piercing cold wind, the chicken countrymen arrived at the apron first. After all, the rooster was the first to get up.
They surrounded their planes, and at the same time, they greeted the ground crew: "Where's the power truck? Excuse your power truck, power up our helicopter, let's test it."
Since it is a bidding, it must be fair competition. After the helicopter stayed overnight, the start of the next day was a big test. They didn't talk about starting directly, but about testing first.
When the helicopter is being tested, it also needs to be powered on, and their precious electricity will be wasted. If you use ground-based power vehicles, you can take the lead.
When the power car comes, they can pretend to operate the airplane by mistake, and the engine starts. As long as the engine runs, it will start again, which is much easier.
The ground crew was also unambiguous. They received an order to cooperate with the tests of these helicopters. Therefore, the power car for the ground crew came into operation soon.
The weight of the fighter aircraft is limited, so the battery of the fighter aircraft is not large. In case the engine stops in the air, the airflow blows the engine and turns it by itself, so that it starts in the air, while on the ground, it mainly relies on external electricity.
As long as fighters are deployed, there must be ground power vehicles.
The power car rushed over and stopped on the side of the Dolphin helicopter. The chickens were excited and pulled the cable on the power car. When they wanted to plug into their helicopter, they were suddenly in front of them. For a moment, not good!
Not compatible.
System compatibility is a big problem. The standards are different, and the screws manufactured cannot be mixed, let alone airplanes.
If it is the standard of the Chicken Country, the power car can provide electricity for all kinds of equipment, whether it is a Mirage fighter or a helicopter. However, the current Han Country is mainly based on the Xiong Country's standard system, which is actually incompatible.
Not only the cable interface is different, but also the voltage is different. Seeing this cable, the people of Jiguo start to cry.
Unless they remove the battery from the helicopter and charge it with a special charger, wouldn't it be a fool?
After tossing for a long time, the sun has shown white belly from the east, and other helicopters are also preparing to fly.
The content of the test is very simple.
take off.
On the plateau, the power of the helicopter is weak. Even if it could fly over yesterday, it may not be able to fly today. Therefore, the first project is to take off.
After taking off, it is a test of the maximum ceiling to see whose helicopter flies higher. After all, the altitude of the base here is not high enough. If you want to deploy in the entire plateau area, the helicopter may have to fly five or six kilometers. If the ceiling of the mountain is not enough, it will definitely not work.
After the ceiling test is over, there will be tests for the maximum speed and other items. As for maneuverability, forget it. Now the test is a plateau helicopter, not an armed helicopter.
And before these test projects, the first project can naturally be launched.
The winter on the plateau is cold. The helicopter was left in the wild for one night and it was completely frozen. If you touch any metal parts directly with your hands, it will definitely stick to it. When you pull it off, it will be attached to the flesh and blood. Pulled down.
The power car here is definitely not needed, unless it is Xiong Guo’s helicopter to participate in the bidding, which is almost the same. Now, it depends on whether they can complete the start-up with their own on-board power supply.
Ji Guoren is still the first.
After all, they were the first to come out. When the external power supply vehicle was unable to provide additional power, they could only rely on their own on-board power supply. When the main power switch was turned on, the power began to be consumed and routine inspections were completed. , It has already started.
The helicopter uses a turboshaft engine, which is improved from a jet engine. The starting principle is the same. The shaft is rotated by external force. After reaching the speed, fuel is injected to push the turbine to complete its own cycle. ended.
It's simple.
The pilot of Jiguo turned the start button, and the sound of the starter came from the top. At the same time, the battery power warning light began to flash.
God bless, it must be a success! He knew that the current battery is absolutely not capable of starting a second time. Inject oil and burn!
