Chapter 392: Ownership of the Large Bypass Ratio Turbofan Project
Due to this sudden large-scale flood, many of the original plans had to be postponed, such as the college entrance examination marking in many provinces and the first batch of the No. 10 Project. Flying, another example is the progress of the delivery of J-8C fighter jets by Factory 112...
But if I have to say it, it is not entirely like this -
Because there are many factories and subsidiaries under the aviation industry system All work has been affected, so many researchers who were busy working on projects have been idle for the first time.
This has resulted in meeting times that were difficult to coordinate before becoming no longer a problem at all.
So, after the weather cleared up a little and the waterlogging and flooding situation in various places had stabilized, Liang Zhuoping, who had already made relevant preparations, found an opportunity to meet with Chang Haonan and asked whether he should simply turn over the Chinese aviation engine industry. Invitations to the conference are sent out.
Anyway, spanking a child on a rainy day is just idle time.
Why don’t we take this free time and go to Hong Kong City to have a meeting together.
During this period, Chang Haonan has been busy finishing work on flood control equipment and software, but he doesn’t have much energy to pay attention to the developments in aviation development. Hearing the news today felt a bit sudden:
"Mr. Liang, as Director Ding said before, the negotiations to introduce D436T1 engines from Russia have ended?"
He still remembered that the last time the three of them met, the final result of the discussion was to wait until the matter was settled before meeting again.
Liang Zhuoping nodded and put down the thermos cup in his hand:
“It’s almost the same. The conditions of the three parties have basically been determined. The specific form of technology introduction is similar to that of Project 11. At the beginning, The four engines used for ground testing and the production of the first prototype were imported in complete form from the factories in Moscow and Ufa for assembly, and then gradually transitioned to the production of all parts except the core engine by us. After placing the order for 300 engines, all related production tasks were transferred, and the plan was finally realized to produce two products of the same model and different specifications, the Russian version and the Chinese version, on both sides..."
"At the same time, the engine design process Ivchenko Company will also connect with our supporting research institute, gradually transfer the complete design plan, and cooperate with us to continue to improve this engine."
"This... has indeed been quite beneficial to us. .”
Chang Haonan was even a little surprised after hearing the specific details of the agreement.
This condition is no worse than the previous Project 11.
You must know that this is the field of aviation power. China has always had a shortcoming, and it is also the part with the lowest bargaining power in foreign cooperation.
If I have to say it, it may only be explained that the strategy of killing three soldiers with two peaches is working, and the Turbojet 14 that he developed last year really shocked the Russians:
"Then …Which group of factories here is responsible for the development and production of D436T1? ”
The reason why he asked this was because he felt that he could take advantage of the opportunity of the aircraft engine industry conference to allocate some resources to the factory that had undertaken this big job.
“It hasn’t been finalized yet.”
Liang Zhuoping said and took out another piece of information from his bag and handed it to Chang Haonan:
“Last time I saw you give Director Ding's report is already very detailed, so I won't tell you more about the situation and level of various aviation power-related factories in our system. In short, except for 606 Institute and Liming Factory, several other factories are currently They definitely don’t have the ability to complete this kind of project on their own, but Shengjing has to concentrate on the research and development of the turbofan 10 and the production of the turbojet 14, and I’m afraid they won’t be able to spare their energy in a short time.”
< br>"So, what Director Ding means is that in this matter, we must cooperate with Comrade Haonan in the work you are preparing to deploy at the aviation engine industry conference. According to the turbofan 10 project, you will allocate to each factory. Resources determine who will be responsible for the localization of D436T1.”
The latter took the information and almost burst out laughing -
This wave, this wave is what everyone thought about together.
Although there are many institutions in China that are building aviation engines, apart from Shengjing, the only ones with complete R&D and production capabilities are Jianning. However, the latter mainly uses turbine shaft and turboprop power. Although the principle is the same as that of a turbofan, the specific technical routes are still very different.
Besides, the strength is also very weak.
In this way, it is necessary to obtain technical assistance in order to proceed, so it would be better to hold it together at the Aviation Industry Conference.
But even Chang Haonan himself did not expect that Ding Gaoheng would directly let himself have the decision-making power on this matter.
The information in his hand is some technical capabilities required during the final assembly of the D436T1 engine.
As a quite advanced large bypass ratio turbofan engine, even if it is just the final assembly, it is definitely a big challenge for Huaxia Aerospace Manufacturing Factory, which has only produced turbojet and even piston engines in the past. .
From the perspective of technological continuity, Factory 430 in Hokyung is undoubtedly the most suitable to take over the production task of the D436T1 engine.
They were responsible for producing the turbojet 8 engines used in the H-6 in the past, and they have some experience with medium-bypass aviation engines. They also have the Sibei MK202 on hand, which is the turbofan 9, the only seedling of Chinese turbofan aviation engines. At least it has Relevant industrial foundation.
Although Factory 430 does not have a dedicated research institute, they have built up a technical team of their own in the process of producing and improving the turbojet 8 over the years.
After all, it is worth cultivating.
Moreover, Haojing is relatively close to the capital and Shengjing, which is also a small advantage.
So, while turning the information to the last page, he basically made a decision.
"If nothing else happens, I should consider tilting the opportunity to participate in the Turbofan 10 project to the 430 factory."
Chang Haonan closed the information in his hand and returned it to Liang Zhuoping.
He believed that the other party would definitely understand the meaning of this sentence:
“When the Seiko Plan was just launched at the end of last year, Factory 430 sent many engineers to Shengjing to participate and learn. , Not to mention how much knowledge we can gain, at least we will have more experience in connecting with the 410 factory.”
“In addition, because of the turbofan 10 project, almost all technologies are brand new to us, and there are risks. It is really too high, so I have considered before that some key technologies, especially the engine manufacturing technology, should be used for technical verification in advance on the domestic model of SPEI MK202, that is, the turbofan 9. On the one hand, it is to share the risks, and on the other hand, it To speed up the research and development progress, this requires in-depth cooperation between the 606th Institute, the 410th Factory and the 430th Factory, and we just take advantage of this opportunity to build our own second aero-engine industry base.”
Chang Haonan's explanation was well-founded, so Liang Zhuoping had no objections:
"Okay, then I will make detailed arrangements after I go back."
After all, Hao Jing was also mainly responsible in the past The production and research and development of large and medium-sized aircraft, now putting China's large bypass ratio turbofan engines here, can be regarded as a close-knit platform:
"By the way, there is this."
Before leaving , Liang Zhuoping handed Chang Haonan another beautifully printed paper envelope:
"The invitation letter to the meeting and the attendance certificate. Although I have given your photo to the comrades in charge at the scene, I won't need these, but you can still keep it as a souvenir."
"I have a hunch that this will happen." This meeting held for the first time will probably become a landmark event in the development history of China’s aviation industry!”
The next chapter needs to be revised and may be posted later
