Chapter 779 Nanyang Military Industry Achievements Exhibition (first update, please subscribe)
As the world's first defense equipment exhibition, Chang'an International Defense Equipment Exhibition has attracted the attention of various countries early on.
Attracting official representatives from thirty-six countries, among which in addition to the military attaches stationed in each country, eleven countries sent official representatives directly from their own countries.
In addition to participants such as the United States, Soviet Russia, Britain, and France, countries such as Yugoslavia and Israel directly sent military representatives. Even Australia and Brazil sent many military officers.
These countries are obviously very interested in this exhibition.
As the owner of this defense equipment exhibition, Nanyang not only brought out the most advanced real aircraft, but also conducted a flight show, so everyone had to be fully prepared to ensure the success of the exhibition and let Nanyang's The military industry became a blockbuster and shocked the whole world.
Of course this is also to obtain more orders, whether it is military aircraft or civilian aircraft.
Who doesn’t want to sell more planes and earn more foreign exchange back?
Although Nanyang is only a small country, the exhibitor lineup is much stronger than many countries. After all, due to distance and transportation constraints, many aircraft manufacturing companies in the UK intended to participate in this exhibition, but due to transportation conditions, most of the more than two dozen participating companies brought models.
However, de Havilland still brought their Venom fighter. Although it was also a jet fighter, the twin tail boom design was indeed very imaginative.
However, the real protagonist is Nanyang himself.
The F1B fighter jet is the undisputed protagonist. Not only are up to twelve aircraft participating in the exhibition at the same time, but they also perform flight performances during the air show.
As for the C717 White Swan, although it is not a military aircraft, it does not prevent it from being displayed. After all, as the first jet airliner in the world to be put into trial operation, it has even become a photo of the Nanyang Aviation Industry. Business card, it will naturally attract the attention of all parties, and it is normal to attract orders from abroad. After all, its performance is very leading in the world.
The C707 is exhibited as a full-size model to let the world know about this advanced regional jet airliner in order to gain the attention of potential customers. In the future, it can also be vigorously promoted to the international market.
In addition, the engine is also an important exhibitor.
BMW has brought a lineup of aviation engines that is far from huge, but very advanced. The most dazzling star is naturally the WP100 engine. It is the world's first turbofan engine with low fuel consumption and is suitable for use by transport aircraft and bombers. It is also the matching engine for C707 and C717.
The second model is the P2 turbojet engine, which is also the matching engine for the F1B fighter jet.
In fact, the technical source of these two engines is Rolls-Royce. The P2 turbojet engine is Rolls-Royce's "Evonne engine", while the WP100 is the "Conway engine", and the Conway The engine is further developed on the basis of the Evonne engine.
It must be said that in terms of engine technology, Rolls-Royce's technology is still very advanced. Otherwise, it would not have remained one of the two giants of aerospace engines in the world until the 21st century. Of course, through cooperative research and development and technology introduction, with the help of Rolls-Royce, BMW's aero-engine technology is now not inferior to Rolls-Royce, and even has its own unique features.
In addition to the actual aircraft engine, there is also a model of the WP105 turbofan engine. Although it is further improved on the basis of the WP100, it uses a larger diameter fan to increase the bypass ratio from 25% to 60%, further increasing the thrust to 20,250 pounds, which is 90.1 kilonewtons, with lower fuel consumption and greater thrust.
In the future, it will not only be used on the C707, but also on strategic bombers in Nanyang. Of course, the strategic bombers will not participate in the exhibition this time. After all, this is a weapon of the country, and it will not be used for takeout. Of course, if there is a price If appropriate, it can also be considered. After all, making money is not shabby.
However, Nanyang's strategic bomber is still being designed, and even if it participates in an exhibition, it can only produce a model.
As for what kind of cannons, rockets, etc., of course they are also included in the exhibition. There are even "Flamingo" air-to-air missiles that are being tested, and the actual objects are also displayed. This first-generation air-to-air missile guided by radio commands has no need to keep it secret at all. The main purpose of displaying it is to show Nanyang's excellent research and development capabilities to other countries.
After all, if you want to sell goods, you always need to prove your abilities in all aspects.
In addition, there are several advanced airborne radars and land-based radars at the exhibition, including the airborne radar for the F1 fighter. Although its range is only a dozen kilometers, it can give the F1 fighter all-weather capabilities. combat capability.
This is in the air. As for land equipment, in addition to the Type 50 assault rifle, which is known as the second assault rifle in the world, there are even main battle tanks under development - in order to find potential overseas The customer, Nanyang Defense Company, also came up with its own magic weapon, a new main battle tank. Although it was undergoing trials, it was still pulled out. The "Thunderstorm" rocket launcher, which performed well in the "Defense of Hyderabad", has always been a famous star in Southeast Asia's arms exports. As early as a few years ago, it was selling well in various countries.
So, actual combat is always the best advertisement.
In addition to new equipment, World War II equipment such as M4 tanks and s.FH18 howitzers focus on participation, and of course it is not just participation. After all, Nanyang is currently equipped with M4 tanks and s.FH18 Howitzers are all modified, and the reason why they are pulled out is to find suitable sellers. New equipment can make good money, but sometimes old equipment can also make money. You can even make more money.
Not to mention them, even the King Tiger, Tiger and Panther tanks were pulled out for display.
Of course, there are also maritime equipment, such as Sandoko's Type 21 submarine, which was directly named U101 submarine by Nanyang. In the Chang'an Shipyard, there are also segments of more than 30 submarines that Li Yi'an brought back from the Hamburg shipyard. Although The Nanyang Navy has been equipped with sixteen Type 21 submarines, but it is too wasteful for the remaining submarines to be idle in sections. Nanyang has been looking for buyers over the years, but there has never been a suitable channel. After all, , Nanyang is still the first brother of the international arms trade. This market is different from ordinary markets, and you can't go directly to the Presidential Palace to ask.
"Sir, do you need a submarine?"
Now the exhibition is the best trade fair. Taking it out is of course to find suitable buyers and sell the waste. Iron becomes foreign exchange.
Such a strong lineup of exhibitors, not to mention other people, even Li Yi'an himself thinks it is very good. If it takes a few years, the lineup of Nanyang's military industry will definitely be stronger than it is now. many.
But for now, it is very rare for a small country to be able to produce so much military equipment at once. After all, there are so many weapons and equipment for the navy, land and air force, let alone a small country like Nanyang. Traditional European countries like France may not be able to get it together.
Well, it’s not necessarily true, it’s simply impossible to produce. The French jet fighter is still on the drawing board!
It’s not a milk method, it’s just looking down upon...
