Chapter 836: Demon Reform H6 is here
Huaxia naturally knew that there was a rich American man who came with Chen Geng.
Although Frank Robinson's worth of tens of millions of dollars is nothing in Chen Geng's opinion, this only means that Chen Geng's vision is high, and in this era when foreign investment of more than $1 million can attract the attention of the province and more than $5 million can attract the attention of the high-level, he thinks that the arrival of American billionaires engaged in high-precision helicopter manufacturing is enough to make the eyes of many officials in China red.
The high-standard reception of Chen Geng by the Chinese government made Frank Robinson feel that this trip to China was not wrong, but the contact with the Chinese officials made Frank Robinson sure that Chen Geng did not lie to himself, the current China is a red China, and any man-made aircraft that wants to fly into the sky must be approved by both civil aviation and the Air Force.
Inexistent.
After a few days of contact, of course, there was no progress, Chen Geng advised him not to think about this problem for the time being, the current China is full of business opportunities, and doing something casually is not more than making more money than engaging in general aviation?
But Frank Robinson still refused to give up, and he didn't look back if he hit the south wall: "Mr. Fernandez, I know you're doing it for my good, but rest assured, I'll be able to convince them." β
"Okay," Chen Geng shrugged and stopped the thought of persuading again: "If you insist." β
Although it was expected that Frank Robinson would be hit on the head and broken blood, Chen Gengxin said that even after 30 years, the call for the opening of the airspace below 3,000 meters for general aviation has been shouted for many years, but it is still not open? Do you think you can persuade the Chinese government to open their doors to navigation with two appeals here?
Boy, you're still too naΓ―ve!
On the issue of the opening of general aviation airspace, it is impossible to open this field before the development of China's own national general aviation industry...... What's the matter? Let go of your foreign companies and let them work hard in it?
But what does that have to do with you? Since you're willing to hit the wall, go for it.
Frank Robinson is indeed "stubborn", and he even put aside the matter of going to COMAC to investigate, and went all out to lobby the Chinese government to open up the general aviation market.
As for Chen Geng, this time he came to Huaxia for a special reason, as for why it is special......
He quietly came to fly west.
After several years of hard work, the development of the H6 technology demonstrator proposed by Chen Geng to replace the previous turbojet-8 engine with four Rolls-Royce "tay" MK650-8C has finally been completed.
Compared with the H6 that we are already very familiar with, the H6 in front of us is completely different from the H6I technology verification machine with four "Spey" MK505 engines developed by Xifei almost 10 years ago: the four "tay" MK650-8C engines are hung under the wing in a group of two, and the position of the engine compartment on both sides of the fuselage has been retained, but the aerodynamic shape has been repaired, which looks much more rounded.
"The original location of the engine compartment, now do you plan to make it into a bomb bay or a fuel tank?" Pointing to the location of the original engine compartment, Chen Geng asked the accompanying director Wang Xiaodong, as for how much the range of this H6 technical verification aircraft can be increased if it is changed to a fuel tank, Chen Geng did not ask.
"At present, we have changed it to a fuel tank," Wang Xiaodong said: "The reason why it is not changed to a bomb bay is mainly on the one hand, our H6 is a medium monoplane structure, and even if this place is changed to a bomb bay, it will not be able to put a guy who is too big; on the other hand, the design of the bomb bay should be as close as possible to the central axis of the fuselage, which is a left and a right bomb bay, plus the original bomb bay, it has a great impact on the stability of the aircraft." β
"I see. Chen Geng nodded again and again.
As for the range, Chen Geng didn't ask, but Director Wang Xiaodong was not polite, and took the initiative to introduce to Chen Geng: "After changing to a fuel tank, the amount of fuel has increased a lot, but because the maximum take-off weight has not changed much, the fuel tank cannot be filled, but even so, compared with the original, the range has increased a lot...... Well, the theoretical maximum range can reach 9000 km. β
Looking at the transparent H6 iconic navigator cabin in front of him, Chen Geng couldn't help but ask: "What are you still keeping this thing for? Isn't it good to install a radar directly?"
Wang Xiaodong scratched his head: This question is embarrassing, how do you ask me to answer it? Can you tell you that we simply do not have the terrain tracking and avoidance system that has been widely used in your US military planes in China, nor can our terrain tracking radar, so out of the sake of reliability, we have to continue to retain the backward manual navigation method and equipment such as the navigator cabin on the H6?
But the words can't be said directly, face is still needed after all, Wang Xiaodong said: "This ...... There are two reasons: on the one hand, there is still a big gap between our domestic electronic technology and that of the United States; on the other hand, the H6 aircraft performs more extreme tasks, and extreme tasks require extreme reliability, while electronic things are relatively easy to break and be easily deceived, but the human eye will not, and the iconic landmarks such as mountains and rivers on the ground will not change ......."

PS: Sorry brothers, please wait a few minutes.

During the "model of peace" period, we can even send our own J8 to the United States, ask the Americans to help improve it, and ask Chen Geng to visit a static H6 technology verification machine, is there anything particularly strange about it?
