Pai Lan's little bastard's words are quite wasteful. As long as anyone who has a little understanding of military affairs knows, in this world, in addition to Anyi, an extremely perverted aircraft, there is another large-scale strategic transportation and is equipped with six large turbofan engines? , civilian Boeing is not good, Airbus is not in a hurry. Military "Galaxy" and "Globemaster" are not good either!

The terrifyingly huge fuselage, the iconic six large ultra-high ducts with anti-thrust systems under the huge wings, the tires on the main landing gear that are more than the turbofan engine trains, etc., have almost become the hallmarks of Anli's "dream" large strategic transport aircraft.

"That's right, that's the pride of our Antonov Design Bureau, the An-type transport aircraft. This transport aircraft was originally designed for the "Buran, the space shuttle space program, and at the beginning of the design created many world bests!" At present, there is no transport aircraft in the world that can be as powerful as this big guy, and I think that in the foreseeable future, there are few planes that can compete with this big guy! Zhang Lan's question obviously aroused this guy's conversation, and this guy Kiwa immediately began to be interested. The words are full of pride and joy for this aircraft.

Well, it would be perfect if the plane didn't stop here, or if it was going to be its final destination after the end of its service.

When it comes to the Andao reverse conveyor. Apparently the pride of this Antonov Design Bureau completely aroused Kiva's interest, and the guy chattered to Zhang Lan and Alice about the difference between this behemoth, "So far. There is no transport aircraft in the world that can surpass our Anchou "dream" in terms of carrying capacity. Neither Americans nor Europeans, can't! ”

This was probably also said to Chenxi and Alice, because when this guy Kiva was introducing all this to Zhang Lan, his eyes frequently looked in the direction of Alice and Xiao Chenxi on the side from time to time.

"It's just that now this pride of our entire Antonov Design Bureau, because of lack of funds, can only be put here to let the wind and rain blow." When he said this, Kiva's face darkened, obviously evoking Kiva's sad past.

Zhang Lan agreed, if there is sufficient funds to enter the military career, this aircraft is definitely a monster that can give Americans and Europeans a headache; Entering the field of civil aviation transportation is estimated to be able to make aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus vomit blood.

The Antonov 20,000 large strategic transport aircraft has always been a pain in the heart of the Antonov Design Bureau: since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Antonov 20,000 giant strategic transport aircraft, which was originally used for the space program of the "Buran" space shuttle, has been taken over by Ukraine, where the Antonov Design Bureau is located.

But due to the poor economic situation in Ukraine. Unable to operate the costly security project, the No. 1 unit of the "Buran" project was helplessly stored in a corner of the apron of the Antonov Design Bureau since the end of the year. Even many of the main parts on board were removed as spare parts for the An-out transport plane and Antonov was plugging up his future An-Yiqin medium-sized wide-body tactical military transport aircraft.

So now, in fact, this Anli heavy strategic transport aircraft has been in a state of obsolescence that cannot fly.

When Kiva said this, not only the staff of the Antonov Design Bureau who accompanied him, but even the Ukrainian side had a gloomy face. Even Yulia Tymoshenko's face did not have that trademark beautiful smile. These things are obviously also a sad past that they are very unwilling to face: when they remember their past glory in poverty, the feeling of sadness is especially strong.

Looking at the reactions of the people around him, Zhang Lan's heart moved, although it seemed that the Antonov Design Bureau at this time was not far from bankruptcy, but as a military fan, Zhang Lan still had a general understanding of the situation after the Antonov Design Bureau, and the Antonov Design Bureau did not sink to bankruptcy, but under the concerted efforts of the Antonov Design Bureau to save itself, but the means of the first time of the new century began to regain vitality.

And at this moment, it was the darkest time before the dawn of the Antonov Design Bureau: the project of the Anjian medium-sized tactical wide-body military transport aircraft, which had worked so hard to get something, was now in the embarrassing situation of having no funds and had to face the dismount; It has been a long time since an order has been received, which has led to the fact that the entire design bureau is often in arrears even with the basic salaries of its personnel; Technicians were wantonly poached by Americans and Europeans, and it can be said that, in the eyes of those who do not know, the current Antonov Design Bureau has reached the point of collapse, and it is not sure when it will collapse.

But the real situation that Antonov will face in the future as Zhang Lan knows is that he is under such tremendous pressure. In his nephew's year, the Antonov Design Bureau tried to continue the construction of the No. 2 original of the Anli "Dream" heavy strategic transport aircraft project, which was half under construction

Machine.

At the beginning of the year, the Antonov Design Bureau launched a new plan to open up its fleet of large strategic transport aircraft, which is more powerful than the Americans' "Galaxy" large strategic transport aircraft, to Western countries for the purpose of transporting super-large cargo.

Since the only transport aircraft in the world that can compete with the large strategic transport aircraft of the Anwa, the "Galaxy" large strategic transport aircraft of the US Air Force, is an aircraft for purely military purposes, the An! Cong has become the world's only super-large cargo aircraft that can be rented by the private sector, and the relatively low cost of military transport aircraft compared with civilian transport aircraft has made the Antonov Design Bureau's charter operation mode very successful. Although the operation of the company is still very difficult. But the Antonov Design Bureau saw the light of day to get rid of the current pressure and regain its former glory.

So far, the situation of the Antonov Design Bureau has basically ended here, but what Zhang Lan knows about what happened next is that because of the success of the Antonov civilian and the confidence was restored, the Antonov Design Bureau turned its attention back to the Antonov giant strategic transport aircraft project, which had been interrupted for a time.

After a year or so of modifications and fuselage enhancements, Anli was replaced with the most advanced Western avionics equipment, and began to fly again in the sky in the first half of the year, and was once again unveiled at the Paris Air Show in France in June of that year. And it will again be leased out by the Antonov Design Bureau for cargo flights on transatlantic routes. It was also on this occasion that the dying Antonov Design Bureau finally relieved itself. ,

And now, at this time, it is the Antonov Design Bureau that is entangled in whether to make up its mind to break the kettle against Antonov? million when the modification is carried out. It was also a time when the Antonov Design Bureau wanted to be its own idea but was worried about funding, which gave itself a great opportunity.

In fact, it is also true that the Antonov Design Bureau is at this time worried about its future way out and the problem of funding for its own way out, and it is impossible to think about counting on the Ukrainian government to help itself, but to raise its own funds? This is too difficult for the Antonov Design Bureau, which has become accustomed to the economy of the Soviet Union and has not yet succeeded in changing its ideology from it.

"Mr. Kiva, I heard that you are working on a project to revamp the Anli aircraft?" Zhang Lan looked at the huge figure in the distance with the glasses handed over by the Antonov Design Bureau, and said to Kiva beside him.

"Huh?" Kiva was surprised that this plan of his own design bureau was still in the discussion stage. Although it has not yet been finalized whether or not to carry out this project, it should not be something that a company far away in China can know about anyway, right? Could it be that Kiva was surprised and delighted: Alice Group was really interested in cooperating with him?

Thinking so in his heart, Kiva suppressed the surprise in his heart, nodded, and did not shy away from the difficulties encountered by his company, "Yes." Our company is now working on this plan. However, due to financial constraints, no final decision has been made yet. ”

If they're really interested in their company, they'll probably keep asking, right? Kiva thought to herself.

Sure enough, Zhang Lan's performance was the same as Kiva expected, and the kid seemed to be very interested in the project and said, "Mr. Kivat, can you tell me about your plan?"

This little guy has taken a fancy to someone else's plane again, right? Seeing Zhang Lan chasing Kiwa there and asking about An Cong's plane, Xiao Chenxi and Alice laughed secretly in their hearts.

And so it was! Kiva's heart is ecstatic!

"Of course, there is no problem, our initial assumption is that the aircraft will be used for civil aviation transport purposes after modification, based on this basic purpose, our plan is to upgrade the aircraft's avionics and on-board systems, replace it with new communication systems, navigation and automatic safety devices and new autopilot systems, add a global air traffic management system and the necessary civil aviation flight components, and at the same time hang Western European other energy in the cabin, auxiliary power units, electrical systems, take-off and landing devices and hydraulic systems, At the same time, in order to ensure the guarantee of heavy transportation, the body should be reinforced, and the entire renovation project is expected to last one year. Inadvertently, Kiva introduced the idea of the general modification of the Ancong aircraft by his design bureau this time. ，
