Chapter 967: Black Hawk wins

Although I brought three helicopters when I came here, only the Dolphin helicopters are flying to the plateau. The other Super Hornet helicopters, regardless of their size, have a practical ceiling of only three kilometers, which makes them impossible to fly. , It will not be humiliated.
The Dolphin Helicopter is here, and it is also a good way to make soy sauce.
Bell helicopters are not good either. Although their helicopters did not fly, they were not discouraged. They knew that the plateau helicopters that Han needed were only a small number. The large number of models they needed was still general purpose helicopters.
Bell 212, there is still a chance. Moreover, they also have a military helicopter project!
Anyway, the Eagle Army has already adopted Apache as a next-generation helicopter project, and its own Cobra gunship may still be exported to Han. This is definitely a huge market.
As for what production line the people of Han said, hehe, no manufacturer in Yingguo would be so stupid, just selling eggs, how could the old hen who lay eggs sell?
With this thought, they continued to listen to the duel in the sky.
After climbing to six thousand five hundred meters, it was one hundred meters, and one hundred meters ascended. Finally, the A109 did not move, but the Black Hawk helicopter climbed to seven kilometers!
That's right, even the people of Sikorsky did not expect that their helicopter could climb up to seven kilometers, which is simply a miracle!
What does seven kilometers mean? When Han Guo uses this helicopter, there is no need to drill through the gaps in the valley, it can fly directly from the top of the mountain!
Relying on such a performance, you can get orders from Han Guo. Besides, this bidding was originally a formality. The Han people have long taken a fancy to Black Hawk helicopters. For this export, bidding is not a problem. , The difficulty is how to convince the Congress so that it can export to Han.
This requires domestic operations.
Qin Guan also nodded: "The next project."
Next, is the maximum speed on the plateau.
Ascend vertically, the big plate on the top of the helicopter is perpendicular to the fuselage, and if you want to fly forward, the big plate will tilt forward, blowing downwards and blowing back at the same time. The helicopter changed from a high-altitude hovering state to a forward flight.
The two helicopters started the final contest. However, the A109 could not compete with the Black Hawk. Its speed was 50 kilometers per hour lower than that of the Black Hawk. It made a full circle. When returning home, the Black Hawk helicopter landed first.
At this time, the time has entered noon, and after dinner, the test flight in the afternoon is even more exciting.
Take off with full load!
In the morning, it is empty, and both aircraft can successfully complete the mission. However, if the helicopter is operating on a plateau, it is definitely not enough to fly. It is to transport cargo.
In terms of full load, Black Hawk is supposed to suffer. It weighs five tons and has to carry four tons of cargo. Later, it even has to study the ability to transport cargo.
I saw the Black Hawk rising steadily from the ground, although it was full of cargo, it was still stable.
On the other hand, the A109 also reached a full-load take-off state of three tons. Both helicopters can take off with heavy load on the plateau, but in terms of load capacity, the Black Hawk must have the advantage. One Black Hawk is equivalent to three A109s. Volume.
The bidding on the plateau finally came to an end.
Can it be operated on the plateau? Of course, I have to pull it out to see. The performance of the Black Hawk is excellent, and it perfectly matches the selection of the helicopter of Han.
General Zhang, the commander of the Air Force, announced the results to everyone during the evening meal: "After this comparison, the Black Hawk helicopter has the best operating performance on the plateau. We announced that the Black Hawk helicopter has won this bid. We will start negotiations on the introduction of the Black Hawk helicopter in the next step."
As soon as General Zhang finished speaking, the people from Sikorsky Company cheered. Although they were embarrassed while assembling the aircraft when they came yesterday, they still had the last laugh.
With their cheers, the bidding on the plateau slowly came to an end. A few days later, in the capital, Han and Sikorsky, they began to negotiate on the next introduction.
The most important one, of course, is the price.
"Our company knows that you are full of sincerity. Last year, your navy had already inspected our company. Therefore, our company is also very willing to reach this cooperation. After careful study, our company decided The price given to you is 6 million eagle yuan per helicopter. Of course, you can choose to pay in gold, just like the Kidd-class destroyer."
Each eagle is 6 million yuan. The price is a bit high. When he heard the price given by the other party, Qin Guan couldn’t help but frown. This one must be able to catch up with the main fighter jet. Fighters are only at this price!
Of course Qin Guan knew that, in history, it was only in 1984 that Han State purchased Black Hawk helicopters from Eagle Country. The contract for this kind of civilian helicopter was 6 million Eagle yuan per aircraft, but that was the price in 1984. It's only 1981. You know, in the past few years, it was not too slow for Yingyuan to devalue.
Qin Guan said, "Your price is a bit high."
Sikorsky’s overseas sales manager, Chelce, also frankly said:
Yes, this price is much higher than what we sold to the Eagle Nation Army. The main reason for this high price is that we need to operate and get Congress to agree to this time. Sales are not easy. Of course, if you order a large quantity, the price can be lowered."
Selling one is also an operation, and selling a hundred is also an operation. The more you sell, the lower the amortized cost.
Cheers continued: "If you buy more than one hundred planes, the unit price can be reduced to 5.5 million eagle yuan. If you buy two hundred, it can be reduced to 5 million eagle yuan. According to our expectations Your air force and navy need this helicopter, and your army needs to form a new army aviation force. If this happens, the number of two hundred aircraft is probably not enough."
The domestic demand in Han is of course great, but it would be too wasteful to buy all of them from abroad.
Qin Guan said: "Yes, our demand will definitely exceed two hundred, but we cannot import all of them from abroad. We want to discuss whether we can introduce Black Hawk helicopter technology and produce it in our country. In this way, the unit price of the aircraft can be lowered, which is the only plan we can accept."
Hearing Qin Guan’s words, Cheers was very solemn: "Mr. Qin, you are telling a joke. The export of Black Hawk helicopters is full of difficulties. We have to use a lot of money to operate and convince the Congress that as for the export production line. , That is even more impossible."
