Chapter 545: The agile Italian
Although AgustaWestland intends to conduct technical cooperation with Bingcheng Aircraft Industry Group, the prototype of the Zhi-9WY has been test-flying in Haojing, and about a year ago, China and Europe also signed the far-reaching agreement here. aviation industry cooperation agreement.
So the Italians still chose to stay in this old place that they are relatively familiar with this time.
Of course, also with some practical confirmation whether you really have something or if you are just bluffing.
On the tarmac, Chang Haonan, who had just flown here earlier that morning, finally saw the helicopter that had fascinated Italians—
Although the underlying technology that completed the design plan came from Chang Haonan, this was indeed the first time for him to see the helicopter with his own eyes.
After all, Liu Hongbo had been handling it before.
At first glance, it looks a bit like Zhi 9WA/WZ in the previous life.
Flat nose, photoelectric sighting equipment below, curved hanging beam that does not take up space in the cabin...
However, there are indeed many differences in the details, especially the details of the main rotor and engine protective cover.
The latter raised his eyes and looked over there:
“Mr. Cui and Mr. Guo, who else can they be?”
Although they come from the ice city in the north, it is known that northerners mainly rely on equipment to survive the winter.
“No, of course I'm not talking about those three.”
Doing your own work well without delaying others is the greatest help to the organization.
“Hey, who is that hovering around the helicopter over there?”
“How can...”
But this time the situation is different after all.
He is just an ordinary engineer from Institute 602, and he knows his position very well.
Generally speaking, Cui Wenxue, as general manager, will not be directly involved in specific technical issues such as test flights of new models.
The latter raised his head again impatiently.
In the hangar a little further away, a young engineer who was preparing data and materials on site raised his head and breathed into his frozen hands to keep them warm.
“Look carefully, all three of them are following another person!”
One of the shorter engineers touched the arm of his companion next to him and motioned him to look into the distance.
Of course, this is also the basis for determining the quiet performance of this aircraft.
Cui Wenxue, Guo Jingshan and Liu Hongbo gathered around Chang Haonan a little later and were introducing the basic performance of the helicopter to the latter.
Then he looked at the screen again, ready to continue working.
The first man patted his companion on the shoulder reluctantly:
Hence, Haojing was not feeling well at the turn of February and March.
When discussing cooperation with foreign colleagues, the top leader must come forward.
“There's also Professor Liu who came before. He's pretty awesome. He came up with the front fuselage and rotor plans for the new helicopter. You should have seen it when I held a technical seminar before.”
Of course, there's also a rainbow fart.
Then the sound stopped suddenly.
After a few seconds, he raised his glasses vigorously.
“This doesn't look like Mr. Liang…”
The short man's voice came from the side again.
Mr. Liang naturally refers to Liang Zhuoping.
If these three people can be followed behind, the first person who comes to mind must be the general manager of the Aviation Industry Corporation.
But regardless of age or hair volume, it is obviously not the case.
“Hiss…it can't be Mr. Chang Haonan, right?”
"who?"
“The general manager of Torch Group, the super guy who developed the TORCH Multiphysics software, is said to be younger than the two of us.”
For two engineers at the most basic level, if they did not pay extra attention, the amount of information obtained in the late 1990s would not be very large.
Especially when the Internet is not very popular, it is normal to not know what Chang Haonan looks like if you missed the few times Chang Haonan appeared on TV.
“Holy shit, are you so awesome?”
“I said that our group has suddenly become enlightened during this period, and can come up with all kinds of good things...It turns out that we have invited such a god..."
"Sigh... I wish I could be half as good as him, no, one-third as powerful..." "Hurry up and get to work, don't think too much, you have no hope..."
After a while of whispering, the two of them saw a few people in the distance walking towards the hangar and quickly fell silent.
Not long after, two minibuses drove directly into the test flight area from the outfield along a lane that was rarely used, and finally stopped at the edge of the apron.
The people who got off the car were naturally the Italian delegation who had just landed.
This time, they did not transfer domestically, but took an Airbus A340 to fly directly from Rome to Haojing.
It is naturally impossible for civil aviation aircraft to land directly at the airport of the flight test institute, so in the end we had to use cars to pick people up.
Cui Wenxue, who had been prepared for a long time, took the lead to greet him.
In the subsequent process of determining the specific cooperation plan, Chang Haonan, who has mastered the core technology and has a strong voice within the Science and Technology Commission, is naturally the absolute leader.
But nominally, AgustaWestland is cooperating with the Bingfei Group, so Cui Wenxue is still responsible for these matters.
Of course, Chang Haonan also enjoys his leisure time.
He is not a person who particularly likes to interact with others.
Just because he is too strong, he accidentally made a lot of connections...
However, it is unexpected, but it is reasonable.
Chang Haonan soon saw the familiar face of the leader in the Italian delegation.
Rosie Colombo.
After some useless pleasantries, the Italian's attention was quickly attracted by the helicopter parked not far away.
In fact, this Z-9WY has already been publicly displayed and flown at the Singapore Air Show.
However, the European and American media did not pay much attention to the Chinese exhibition area, and Italy did not participate in the Singapore Air Show. Therefore, including Colombo, this was the first time for everyone in the delegation to see it up close. .
Nico Gambelli, who was following Colombo, stepped forward and took a closer look at the helicopter in front of him.
As the technical director of the 15-seat new helicopter project, he was invited to oversee the cooperation.
To be fair, even if you just look at the surface of the plane, you can feel a simple atmosphere coming to your face.
For an Italian who likes precision and luxury, this feeling is like someone putting green peppers into Roujiamo in front of Haojing people, which is very uncomfortable.
He looked at Colombo next to him with a slightly suspicious look.
Subjectively, he didn't quite believe that a helicopter with this kind of workmanship could be as quiet as the other party said.
Chang Haonan and Cui Wenxue did not restrict the group of Italians from looking around.
Just like some exams, you will fail even if you open the book.
The main rotor of a helicopter needs to strike a balance between silence and efficiency, and it also needs to be designed to be coupled with the fuselage. The whole process requires a lot of experience and calculation skills.
Let alone just looking at the airplane, even if Chang Haonan lent them Zhi 9WY's design drawings, there was no way to transfer them to other designs as they were.
“I have seen artificial dolphins made in France, and at least the workmanship is much better than this one. The difference that can be noticed at a glance is mainly that the tip of the rotor is sharpened and swept, and the shape of the engine cover is weird.”
While speaking, Gambelli and Colombo retreated to a position far away from the helicopter, because the two test pilots had already entered the cabin and were starting the helicopter in preparation for a demonstration flight.
“To be honest, it's hard for me to believe that such a helicopter can reach...”
Before he finished speaking, a gust of breeze blew from the direction of the tarmac.
Obviously, this is the air wave caused by the rotation of the helicopter's rotor.
Because the distance is far enough, the wind is actually not too strong.
Even the hat on your head will not be blown away.
But the gentle breeze blew on Gambelli's face, making him feel a bit of burning pain in his face——
The plane has already taken off, and the conversation he just had with Colombo was not even interrupted by the noise.
“Dr. Gambelli, I'm sorry I didn't hear you clearly. What do you mean it's hard to believe?”
Colombo did not mean to be sarcastic, he was really confused and did not hear clearly.
"I said…"
Gambelli stiffened for a moment, but soon changed his words without changing his expression and without a beat:
“I said, it's hard for me to believe that we didn't discover that the Chinese people are so advanced in helicopter design until now…”
