Great warships

At that time, the Miri Design Bureau will definitely decline rapidly!
"One thing is still a secret with us, but it's okay to tell you. Our self-developed ten-ton helicopter has completed its first flight, and its performance is even better than that of the Black Hawk. Continue to purchase Mi-171 helicopters."

The Mi-171 is improved on the basis of the Mi-8 helicopter. It is also a ten-ton helicopter. In the 90s, the East urgently needed advanced helicopters, but the Black Hawk could not buy them, so they purchased a large number of Mi from the Miri Design Bureau. -171, bought hundreds of them back and forth, and is the largest customer of the Miri Design Bureau.

Although these helicopters are civilian types, they have become out-and-out military types in Dongfang's hands. They even have short wings mounted on both sides, carrying rockets and other weapons, and have become the most important weapons and equipment of the Army Aviation.

The Miri Design Bureau also relies on these orders to live a very nourishing life.

But there will be no more orders in the future, because Dongfang has advanced helicopters developed and produced by itself!

"Our self-developed helicopter will not only be used for our own use, but also exported. If you want to continue to sleep on the Mi-171, you probably have no chance. If you don't have an advanced tilt-rotor aircraft, The days after that will be very sad. However, this world is full of competition. After the collapse of the Red Empire, many companies in your country have collapsed, including the famous Mikoyan Design Bureau. You should also be mentally prepared for this, right?"

Some people wanted to fight the case and scold Qin Tao angrily, but they didn't dare, and some people had sullen faces, thinking about the next arrangement.

"Of course, the design bureau will fail, but those experienced designers still have a way out. We have a large number of foreign designers working in the East. They are all very happy." Qin Tao continued.

Hearing what Qin Tao said, the expressions on some people's faces began to change.

Yes, it seems good to go to the East to work. If you don’t like to go to the West, the East is the best choice.

"President Qin, is there only one way for us to cooperate with you? To cooperate according to your request?" Ji Shenke's face was extremely ugly. Yes, he was threatened. He could tell what Qin Tao meant. If he didn't If you agree, the Miri Design Bureau will be dug into an empty shell.

"Cooperation can be a win-win situation." Qin Tao said: "If you rely on your own words, the Mi-30 will always be on paper. If you can't move forward, you can only be surpassed by others, and then leave the stage sadly, and cooperate with us , We can share technology, and at that time, you can also produce advanced tilt-rotor aircraft, even if you don’t export them, the market for your own use is very large, and the Navy is very interested in this kind of aircraft.”

Ji Shenke's face was uncertain, he was obviously thinking about Qin Tao's words.

Qin Tao has said everything that needs to be said, and the next step is to continue eating and drinking.

"Eat, everyone continue to eat, I am the only one eating, how embarrassing." Qin Tao continued to greet.

Where can other people eat.

Qin Tao left the Mili Design Bureau with a full meal.

"Boss Qin, they still haven't made up their minds." In the car, Xu Zhengyang said, "Shall we go to the Kamov Design Bureau next?"

"No need, let's go back to the hotel first, we have to give them time to think, it's not too late for us to go to the Kamov Design Bureau tomorrow." Qin Tao said: "They have no choice, and cooperation with us is the best choice .”

Those guys are whimsical, and they still want Dongfang to pay for their research and development?What a joke, the Sukhoi Design Bureau has to provide technology to put the tall Su-27 fighter jets in the east for production. What cards does the mere Mili Design Bureau have?
After Qin Tao was sent away, everyone from the Mili Design Bureau had a meeting, and they had mixed feelings.

"If you agree with the plan of the Orientals, then we need to tell the Orientals all the experience and technology accumulation we have developed on the Mi-30 for decades, no, this is absolutely not possible!" an engineer said: "This is simply a betrayal. Our Miri Design Bureau!"

"Those technologies are not yet mature. Using Eastern computers, maybe we can mature. I hope to see the Mi-30 take to the sky."

"Varixi, you actually talked to the Orientals, did you take their money?"

"Ivan, are you still living in the past world? We are no longer the huge empire we used to be!"

"Then we can't give Dongfang the results of our hard research like this. If we hand over all the technical information to Dongfang, then if we are kicked out, wouldn't we get nothing?"

"Boss Qin is not that kind of person. He has saved many of our Da Mao's businesses. His reputation is worthy of recognition. He will never do such a thing!"

"Okay, stop arguing, let's vote." Ji Shenke said: "Those who oppose cooperation with Mingzhou Group raise their hands."

Ivan raised it, and several other people also raised it, but it was obviously not half of it!

This question is learned. If you ask whether you agree to raise your hand with the Mingzhou Group, there are probably many people who will not raise their hands. They are typical double-faced people. They don't want to stand on any side at all and don't express any opinions.

"Chris, Yuri, Masilov, you all raise your hands, don't you also oppose handing over the technology to Dongfang?" Ivan was anxious.

These people lowered their heads, just like ostriches, without saying a word.

"If we don't cooperate with Mingzhou Group, then Kamov Design Bureau will also cooperate. After all, the situation of their design bureau is not good." Jishenke said: "Since less than half of the people object, then we will do it." Bar!"

In the era of the Red Empire, the Kamov Design Bureau was marginalized. Fortunately, they have established a world in the field of naval shipborne helicopters: the Navy likes the coaxial inversion helicopter because it occupies a small area, although the height is higher. High, but ship-borne helicopters are not afraid of heights. At worst, just increase the height of the hangar. Anyway, no other things are placed above the hangar.

However, after the collapse of the Red Empire, the Kamov Design Bureau lost its order. If it hadn't been for the Eastern Navy to order a batch, they might be completely cold.

They are also trying their best to fight for it. They developed the armed helicopter Ka-50 and beat the Mi-28 in the bidding, but it seems to be useless, because the military only announced that the Ka-50 won, but did not place an order, and the Miri design The bureau is also improving their helicopters, hoping to turn defeat into victory and reverse the situation in the future.

The Kamov Design Bureau has no other choice. If Mr. Qin sends an invitation, they will definitely join the R&D team. With their accumulated experience, they can completely create this kind of pilot. At that time, The Miri Design Bureau will come to an end.

So, they can only make this choice.

Work with Orientals!Share technology!
That afternoon, Qin Tao received a call from Ji Shenke, agreed with Dongfang's suggestion, and decided to cooperate with Dongfang!

When he got the news, Qin Tao smiled, did you see it?These guys have to cooperate sooner or later, why are they so coy.

"It's their treat at noon. In the evening, let's invite the Mingzhou Group, call Nicholas and others, and let's go to the White Rabbit Restaurant in Moscow. It's condescending and overlooks the entire Moscow."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

The night in Moscow is very beautiful, the streets are brightly lit, there are countless pedestrians, and there are two lantern dragons circling in the distance, outlining the shadow of the Moscow River.

Nicholas came first. Although he is a big shot, he has no airs. After all, Qin Tao is his good friend, a good friend for many years, and the latest project has added more than 2000 million US dollars to his account. How can he not happy.

"Qin, why didn't you come to me first when you came to Moscow?" Nicholas said with some complaints: "At that time, I will go to the Miri Design Bureau with you and see who dares not agree."

Qin Tao smiled: "Nicholas, this is a commercial cooperation, you don't need to be your leader, besides, the Mili Design Bureau is also smart people, they know how to choose."

Qin Tao can roughly understand some things. The Miri Design Bureau does not have much contact with the Navy. After all, their helicopters are not shipboard. Therefore, they really dare not listen to what Nikolai said. If Nikolai is present , it might be even more embarrassing.

When he said this, footsteps came from outside.

Jishenke walked in first, and when he saw Nikolai, he immediately said respectfully, "Your Excellency Nikolai, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Nicholas nodded: "I heard that Mr. Qin is treating guests, so I came here to join in the fun. Today you are the protagonists, and I am the foil."

"Where, you are the protagonist." Jishenke said: "Your Excellency Nikolai, we may have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."

"Yes, our navy is on the road to revival. The first 22350 frigate has been towed back and started outfitting. Our 1144-type cruiser has also begun to be refitted. It will become the flagship of our fleet in the future. At the same time, our navy will also It is planned to build an amphibious assault ship, and this kind of warship should preferably be equipped with a tilting rotor aircraft, so as to have a sufficiently powerful attack force."

Amphibious assault ship?Jishenke was very excited: "When will the navy plan to build it, and what displacement will it have? How many ships will it build?"

"Everyone don't stand, sit down, sit down and serve, we will talk while eating." Qin Tao greeted everyone.

So everyone sat down, just like noon, they still didn't pay attention to eating, and continued to look at Nicholas energetically.

"Your Excellency Nikolai, our navy is about to usher in a big development." Kishenko continued to ask.

"Of course, we have already reported to our superiors that we plan to build two amphibious assault ships with a displacement of about [-] tons." Nicholas said: "If it is equipped with a [-]-ton tilt-rotor aircraft, it should be able to Carried about twenty."

Twenty for one ship, forty for the two, and at least fifty if the backup is added, these will definitely not be ordered from the East, and will fall into the hands of their Miri Design Bureau. If you place an order, you have to hurry up and develop it!
"Your Excellency Nicholas, don't worry, our cooperation with Dongfang will be very smooth. After we report to the superior and the superior approves it, the cooperation will start in full swing."

If the Miri Design Bureau develops it by itself, then of course there is nothing to say, and the superiors will have no problems. Now that the research and development is carried out jointly, there will be more problems.

Nicholas nodded: "It is necessary to make a report, but when making a report, don't mention our navy, and develop it under the pretext of civilian use."

civilian?

Jishenke looked at Nikolai with some surprise.

"Civilian, you should know that our big leaders want to do everything by themselves, and regard these as a manifestation of independence, but with our own strength, it is impossible to complete research and development." Nicholas said: "If you If you report that it is for military use, then the higher-ups will probably deny this joint research and development plan and ask you to develop it yourself, and they will not give you money."

This kind of thing is possible. After all, the boss has always attached great importance to their national defense independence. If it were not for several coincidences, it would be impossible for Dongfang to intervene in the 22350 frigate plan, and it would be impossible for Dongfang to transform the base. Love class cruiser.

Now if this project is directly reported to the superior, saying that it is the key equipment of the navy, it will definitely fail.

The higher-ups rejected the cooperation plan, but did not grant funding, and the Mili Design Bureau was killed.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Nikolai, for reminding me." Jishenke was very grateful.

"Sure, if we wait for the state to allocate funds, we will never be able to use the advanced tilt-rotor aircraft. Our Marine Corps can only use the backward Ka-29. By the way, you should continue to use the armed helicopters. Research and development, don't stop, although the military has chosen the Ka-50 a few years ago, but has not placed an order, you still have a chance."

"Well, we will seize the opportunity." Ji Shenke continued to nod.

In fact, armed helicopters have nothing to do with the navy, that is the army's business. Nikolai said this, purely out of generosity of the army, but everyone laughed with him. The relationship is irreversible, he said a few words to help, and those in the army have to think about it.

The host and guest had a good meal, and when it was over, they talked about going to the East.

"We in the East have been prepared for a long time, and welcome you at any time. We have advanced electronic computers. After you pass by, you will input the design plan into the computer. We will first simulate on the computer. You need to bring all the materials, which can save money. A lot of our time."

"Boss Qin, that is to say, all the technology will stay with you?"

"That's right, but if you need it, you can copy the technical data away at any time. We said it is technology sharing, so we will never hide it from you. All our scientific research results are also open to you."

Qin Tao spoke very generously.

"Your scientific research achievements?" Some of Ji Shenke's subordinates were a little dissatisfied: "What scientific research achievements do you have?"

Ji Shenke looked at Ivan with an ugly face, and wanted to yell at him, but he felt that yelling was useless, and it might make the conflict even worse. He looked at Qin Tao with guilty eyes, expressing his apology.

Qin Tao smiled: "Of course we also have scientific research results. Take the only tilt rotor aircraft in the world as an example. Do you know what its biggest problem is?"

All the people present shook their heads. They had never heard any negative news about V22. They felt that this kind of aircraft was already the most mature and the solution was the most reliable. What defects could it have?
"The mechanical design of the V22 is mature, especially it installs a transmission shaft in the main shaft of the wing. If one of the engines suddenly fails, the power of the other engine will be output, so that the aircraft will not lose balance. This design It did cause the internal machinery to be complicated, but it is definitely not a defect." Ivan said.

"That's right, this is not a defect, we have to design it this way, and this is why you have to cooperate with us. I don't think you can process this drive shaft alone." Qin Tao said.

The helicopter does not need this rotating shaft, because it has only one rotor. Even if one of the engines is turned off, the final reducer can also accept the power output of other engines. After decades of development, the technology of helicopters has matured.

But the tiltrotor is arranged one at each wingtip, so there may be accidents: if one of the engines suddenly collapses, it will definitely lose its balance.

Even the United States, which has the most advanced engine technology, dare not pat their chests to ensure that their engines will not have problems, so they used a complicated transmission scheme: there is a transmission shaft inside the wing, which connects the power outputs of the two engines together. It's impossible to turn off the two at the same time, right?

"That's right, if it's a power output of more than 227 horsepower like the D1, we really can't process it. You have technical reserves for vertical take-off and landing fighters, and the processing of this drive shaft is not a problem." Ji Shenke nodded: " Then, what are the flaws of the American tiltrotor aircraft, please ask Mr. Qin to clarify for us.”

"The biggest problem is that its engine rotates together, which leads to the large volume and weight of its motion mechanism, and the pressure on the flight control and operating system is also high, which has a great adverse effect on the reliability of the aircraft. We can only Spin the propeller."

The tiltrotor is to turn the propeller, which can be horizontal or vertical, and needs to be turned [-] degrees.

The American plan is to turn it together with the engine, which directly solves the problem. However, the weight of the part that needs to be rotated is too large. The American Osprey is acceptable, but the tiltrotor aircraft that they want to develop is scheduled to use the D227 engine. Such an engine weighs more and will be more complicated to spin.

Therefore, the engine cannot turn, but the propeller can only be turned. As for how to rotate the coaxially reversed propeller shaft, that is a problem for engineers to solve. Qin Tao is only responsible for providing technical solutions.If it really doesn't work, you can only replace the D-26 engine used on the Mi-136. Anyway, it is also produced by Motor Sich, and our side has this advantage.

"Only spin the propeller?" Ivan opened his eyes wide: "Is this really a solution, did you come up with it yourself?"

"Of course, who else can tell us?" Qin Tao smiled: "So, we still have pre-research, and we have done a lot of work, we are working together to make this aircraft mature Let’s face it, it’s definitely not taking advantage of your Miri Design Bureau, it’s your loss if you don’t cooperate with us.”

In later generations, the Yankee's Osprey has matured, but this aircraft is big after all, and they need a small aircraft to replace the Black Hawk, so they developed the V280. Compared with the Osprey, this aircraft has done Further improvement: the propeller and transmission are tilted, and the engine does not move, which greatly reduces the volume and weight that needs to be tilted, making it easier to operate.Later, domestically produced drones also adopted this method, and only used the method of tilting the propeller.

Of course, Qin Tao can directly take it out and tell the other party his own research and development progress. In fact, this is a question of thinking, and there is no need for technical research at all.

But obviously, the simple improvement plan he proposed convinced the people in front of him.

Ivan originally objected, but when he heard that they would come to eat together, of course he would come. Originally, he only planned to have a meal together, but when he heard Qin Tao bragging, he couldn't help being sarcastic. Unexpectedly, the other party really proposed a new idea. The Mili Design Bureau cannot do without Dongfang's help, and the two parties are really in a cooperative relationship!
"That's right, Mr. Qin is right, we are now a win-win cooperation, come on, let's toast to the smooth cooperation!" Ji Shenke raised his glass.

"Cheers!" Now Ivan was convinced.

Qin Tao smiled: "Actually, we still have a lot of design proposals. This kind of propeller only rotates. There is also a more advanced modification plan. Do you want to hear it?"

"miss you!"

"Another plan is that the engine is still arranged on the top of the fuselage according to the traditional layout, and then the drive shaft passes through the wing to output power to both sides."

Tilting rotorcraft generally arrange the engines on both sides of the wings, which is convenient for direct transmission of power, but since the V-22 has a transmission shaft that traverses the entire fuselage, of course it can also be used. Will this thing cause the wings Vibration and the like are not what Qin Tao wants to consider, he only talks about the design plan.

"That's right, that's okay. The two engines are originally paralleled. Even if one of them fails, it will not cause danger, just like our current helicopter." Everyone's eyes lit up again.

"In addition to the arrangement of the engine, the outer propeller can also be transformed into a ducted blade. In order to reduce the length of the blade, we can also use a coaxially reversed blade."

what is this?Avatar!

The Avatar movie is quite popular, and the unique shape of the scorpion aircraft in it is also refreshing. This aircraft is a kind of imitation of the Osprey. It shines brilliantly in the movie and is very enjoyable to watch.

Although it was imagined by the director, it does not mean that it is not realistic. In the time and space before Qin Tao came, this kind of project existed.Even in the 60s and 1s, some people stepped on the VZ-4 with the propeller going up to the sky, and the bottom is ducted.Then came the VZ-[-], which was more like a Scorpion aircraft.
