Take Off My Aviation Era

Chapter 965: Give helicopter experience

With this perseverance, Zhuang Jianye was able to support the Karakoram Pass earthquake rescue operation.

Although it is expensive, it has received a lot of praise, including the Russians. Among them, Pakistan, Iran and other countries have shown great interest in Zhi-12 and Zhi-15.

And exclude the expert group from coming to the country to conduct further performance tests on the Zhi-12 and Zhi-15. Of course, Ascendas Group is doing all they can to entertain them in order to ensure that the tests in several countries can proceed smoothly and orderly.

Those who enter the pit are unmoved.

Among them, the Russians are typical. After observing the "excellent" performance of the Zhi-12 and Zhi-15 in the plateau area, the Russian military observers at the time believed that the technical level of China's helicopters was no less than that of Russia, in order to preserve the Russian helicopters. Industrial capacity, it is recommended to the domestic joint research and production of helicopters with China.

For this reason, the Russians specially sent a team of aviation experts headed by Djokovic to visit China. As a result, they visited several major domestic helicopter production plants. Djokovic quickly grasped the crux of the problem. .

The performance indicators of Zhi-12 and Zhi-15 and other helicopter models are good, but most of them are still immature, especially Zhi-12 and Zhi-15. Many sub-systems have high failure rates and difficult maintenance. Therefore, Djokovic and others predict that for these two models to become truly mature, it will take at least 5 years of running-in improvement.

Because of this, Djokovic suggested to Russia that there is no need to rush to cooperate with China in the production of helicopters. Only by appropriately lowering the unit prices of the Mi-171 and Ka-27 helicopters can severely hit China. Helicopter manufacturing industry.

Russia quickly adopted Djokovic’s opinion and further compressed the quotations of the Mi-171 and Ka-27 helicopters until they were 25% lower than Russia’s usual international quotations.

That’s not to say, the two helicopters are equipped with a lot of advanced electronic equipment and weapon systems developed at the end of the Soviet Union, in conjunction with the "Modern" class guided missile destroyer; "Doyle" M1 short-range air defense missile; S-300 long-range Air defense missiles, which are urgently needed in China, are sold in bundles.

For example, the carrier-based helicopter of the "Modern" class guided missile destroyer can only use Ka-27, and other helicopters can also be used, but there is no guarantee that it will be compatible with the "Modern" class guided missile destroyer.

Another example is the S-300 long-range air defense missile supporting shield force must use Mi-171, otherwise...otherwise the S-300 long-range air defense missile cannot be sold. As for why, the Russian Air Defense Force Operation Manual stipulates that, why do you say ?

Relying on this routine, the Russians dumped a large number of Mi-171 and Ka-27 into the country.

Although the domestic military expenditure has risen after major incidents, due to the patience period of the past two decades, the army has owed too many debts, and the increased military expenditures cannot be made up. There is no immediate effect at all. Variety.

Therefore, how big the army’s plate was before is still that big now.

Because of this, the Mi-171 and Ka-27 flooded into the army, and the chances of other models were very slim. Coupled with the competition for a large number of models in China, the occupation rate was further compressed, plus Zhi-12 and Zhi- 15's own shortcomings caused the two helicopters of the Ascendas Group to be unsatisfactory.

Only the Army Aviation Force symbolically purchased 4 Zhi-12 and 2 Zhi-15.

This is due to the outstanding performance of Ascendas Group in the earthquake relief of the Karakoram Pass. The headquarters did not say that it was really sorry, so it reluctantly purchased a small batch, mainly for emergency transportation in the plateau area.

Yes, it is not daily transportation, but emergency transportation. Because there are S-70 helicopters for daily transportation, that is to say, with the current urinary properties of Zhi-12 and Zhi-15, Army Aviation dare not let it take the lead. It can only be used in emergency. Under the circumstances, it is just an emergency equipment for filling holes.

It’s the same for the Army Aviation. Needless to say, the more critical Air Force and Navy, apart from helping Zhi-12 and Zhi-15 in their respective agency publications, and taking a bunch of muscular beautiful photos. There is no more.

This is true for the most reliable and reliable troops, let alone other departments. The domestic aviation industry is lagging behind. It is a luxury for domestic people to travel by plane, not to mention the personalized aviation services such as helicopters. Of course, few people responded.

Without even the basic market foundation, coupled with the deficiencies of the Zhi-12 and Zhi-15, the sales performance of the two helicopters can only be described as dismal.

Aircraft such as helicopters are like smart phones more than ten years later. They are things that rely on market experience. Only in the market can we improve the configuration of each system step by step according to the actual use of users, and finally become a model. A mature classic.

The helicopter industry in the United States and the former Soviet Union is the same.

In fact, Zhuang Jianye also wanted to follow the old path of the United States and the Soviet Union, relying on the domestic experience of Zhi-12 and Zhi-15 helicopters, just like the core masterpiece of Ascendas fixed-wing aircraft, Yun-15.

As a result, Zhuang Jianye’s heart is good. However, the domestic helicopter industry is not like a transportation fixed-wing aircraft. Not to mention the contention of a hundred schools of thought, it is also full of princes. In addition, European and American civil aircrafts, Russian military aircrafts are pouring in, eroding mature markets. The situation of domestic helicopter manufacturers is even more difficult~www.readwn.com~ so that even if Ascendas wants to replicate the success of Yun-15, there is no way, the Yun-15 at the time just filled the high-performance light transport aircraft. In addition to the high prices of similar products in the international market, and the immature domestic products of friendly merchants, Yun-15 has become the only one of Xiezibaba. This gave Ascendas the opportunity to gain experience.

Based on this, we continued to improve the models and engines, and finally derived a series of military transport aircraft and regional passenger aircraft such as Yun-15plus, Yun\\Oil-15, Yun-17, TRJ-500 and so on.

With such obvious success stories, the Ascendas Group, which is well versed in the experience, does not want to reproduce the glory of the current Yun-15 on a helicopter. The problem is that the domestic situation is like this, what should be done? I can only look at abroad.

So when Pakistan and Iran came to inspect the two helicopters, Tengfei Group was like a little lady of Jiao Didi, doing everything possible around the steel pipe.

Take the Zhi-12 helicopter as an example. Originally, such a 4-ton helicopter can carry 2 light anti-submarine torpedoes. However, in order to highlight the independent combat capability of the Zhi-12 at sea, the Ascendas Group has increased it. The engine power was re-optimized and the four torpedoes were mounted on the pylons, and they flew in front of the Pakistan delegation.

I could see the Pakistani personnel in awe, and kept asking Zhuang Jianye, who personally accompanied him at the time, whether he really had the ability to do combat.

How could Zhuang Jianye say that the Z-12 with four torpedoes looks like a fly, unless you disassemble the entire anti-submarine search equipment and it is almost the same, and nodded shamelessly: "Don't worry, let alone install four torpedoes. Even if you install six, you can still use it!"
