Chapter 677 Phased Array Radar
After a moment of silence, the chief took off his glasses with one hand and wiped them slowly:
“When I inspected Hufei in October last year, The comrade in charge told me that they are cooperating with the technical personnel of the Tupolev Group to assemble the first domestically produced C808 passenger aircraft. I wonder what the current progress is? "
Obviously, he has begun to think in his heart. Evaluate the prospects of domestically produced large early warning aircraft.
"Comrade, Comrade Wan Shengren, the general manager of Hufei, submitted a report to me just the day before yesterday, which happened to be about this aspect."
Although he did not expect that the topic would involve the Shanghai Aircraft Group before this trip, fortunately, the domestic passenger aircraft project is a top priority in Ding Gaoheng's view, so there is no need to improvise:
"Large component assembly" Prototype No. 01 of the C808 passenger aircraft has entered the final factory inspection stage and is expected to roll off the assembly line in March and complete its first flight before the National Day at the latest. Prototype No. 02 is expected to be equipped with an assembly line assembled by Haofa Group. The domestically produced D436T1 engine is expected to roll off the production line before the end of the year and make its first flight before February next year. "
"The C909 passenger aircraft has also completed technical modifications in accordance with my country's aviation industry standards. Currently, Shanghai Aircraft has established the second project. The team is responsible for technical docking with the Tupolev and Perm engine production complex. It can enter the production process after the final assembly workshop is completed. "
"As for the timetable... because it has not been official yet. It will be put into production, so it is impossible to determine a very accurate project node for the time being. If we look at the efficiency of the C808, it should be able to complete its first flight before the end of 2001. "
In fact, it was reported by Hufei. Expectations are even more optimistic.
After all, both models are cooperating with the Tupolev Design Bureau. As both parties become familiar with each other, the efficiency will definitely improve gradually, rather than remain static.
It’s just that Ding Gaoheng couldn’t speak so rigidly in front of the big boss, so he still left some margin for himself.
The chief put his glasses back on. Although he made no other movements, it could be seen from his happy expression that he was quite satisfied with the progress.
Seeing this, Ding Gaoheng naturally struck while the iron was hot:
"In addition, at the Equipment Industry Department of the Science and Technology Commission, the 70,000-ton heavy-duty hydraulic press developed under the leadership of Comrade Chang Haonan has also begun final assembly. It is expected that It will be completed in the first half of this year.”
"After this key equipment is put into production, many aircraft structural parts that we could only import in the past, such as the body frame, landing gear, and central wing box of the C808 and C909, can gradually be made domestically. If you need it, sir, I have the relevant content You can compile a report and submit it.”
“Okay.”
The chief nodded and agreed:
“But since we want to make a report, then. Don’t just limit yourself to the civil aviation industry.”
At this time, Ding Gaoheng actually had some plans in mind, but it was not easy to speculate casually in this case:
"What the chief means is..."
"This year happens to be the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. We can take this opportunity to summarize the achievements of our Chinese aviation industry in the past few years as a phased plan. Submit the summary.”
Hearing this request, Ding Gaohengxin said that if it were a report on the entire aviation industry, I’m afraid you would see a name that appears very frequently in it...
But that’s what he thought just now, so he immediately stood up and responded:
“Yes, I will start to do it as soon as I return to the capital!”
"Let's go down and talk."
The chief stood up, led everyone out of the cabin, and returned to the apron. Then he turned around and moved toward Wang Xiaomo, who had been squeezed to a position slightly behind him. Waved:
“Comrade Xiaomo, I remember you just said that domestic phased array radars are currently facing production capacity difficulties?”
The latter was a little surprised to be mentioned again, but Still trotting forward in two steps:
“Yes, especially the packaging of large-sized T/R components, because it is mainly done by hand, which is very time-consuming.”
"The one on the early warning aircraft is actually quite good. It took about 14 months to complete production. Like the 346 Sea Star search radar that we are about to transfer to trial production, the antenna array box is 4 meters * 4 meters, and even There is an additional tailor-welding step that is not very optimistic about the yield. It is conservatively estimated that it may take more than 18 months to produce.”
The chief raised his hand and gently pushed the black-rimmed glasses:
"Last year, when the Bi Sheng test ship was put into service, I heard from Comrade Shi Yunsheng of the Navy that the first test project after the ship entered service should be the shipborne radar you just mentioned?"
"Yes, the Bisheng is currently undergoing adaptive changes in the shipyard and is preparing to install our first domestic ship-borne phased array radar."
Wang Xiaomo explained:
"The plan is to be similar to the SPY1 radar used in the American Aegis system. After it is actually equipped on warships, each ship will install four sides at 90° to each other to ensure full 360° coverage of the surroundings. However, technically It adopts the active phased array route, which is more advanced in comparison.”
Hearing that it can be better than similar equipment from the Americans, although the chief’s expression did not change, his tone when he spoke was very brisk. Shao:
“I remember a year ago, this model was said to be under development...and now it is ready for trial production?”
Although Wang Xiaomo is not directly responsible for the 346 radar project, But this matter really has something to do with him:
"The 14th Institute said before that it was originally thought that the large-size aluminum alloy tailor welding technology would still take another stage to tackle, so the timetable was set Relatively loose.”
"But this time when we were working on early warning aircraft and cooperating with comrades in the aviation industry system, we heard that Shengjing already had experience in using inert gas shielded arc welding to weld large-sized aluminum alloy workpieces in order to produce heavy fighter jets, so we asked They went to provide guidance and solved many problems.”
Although the 14th Institute of Electrical Engineering was also a military industrial unit, it used to belong to the Ministry of Electronics Industry.
It is not the same system as the aviation industry, which is affiliated to the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.
That’s why there is a situation like “You have the technology I need, but we don’t know it”. Although they have joined the same family now, it is obvious that cooperation between them cannot be established overnight.
It can be said that thanks to the opportunity to develop a domestic early warning aircraft, the progress of this project has entered the fast lane.
"So, if you want to increase the production speed of phased array radar, what do you need?"
The leader did not beat around the bush anymore, but asked directly:
"The future There will be more and more places where we need this kind of large-scale phased array radar. It will definitely not take more than ten months to build one as it is now.”
This problem is almost impossible for Wang Xiaomo. No need to think, because he is already thinking of a solution:
"In a short period of time... we can only recruit a group of more senior technical workers. This matter is relatively easy to say, as long as the organization provides a certain number of establishments."
"In addition, we started from last year The newly established Torch-C.B. Ferrari Group has purchased a batch of brand new CNC milling machines, which are expected to be delivered in the second half of the year. Once they are put into use, they can change the current manual workshop model of production, and the efficiency will naturally increase. ”
< br>"Torch..."
The Torch Group is naturally famous among the big leaders.
After all, with the age of their general manager, it is difficult not to be noticed.
It's just...
It seems that this is not the first time I heard the name Chang Haonan today...
...
On the other side.
After meeting with Li Jie, Chang Haonan decided on a low-key sales strategy for Sugon 2000T.
Two days later, without any deliberate confidentiality or any publicity, the two parties signed an agency dealer agreement, identifying Torch Group as the exclusive dealer of Dawn 2000T and the exclusive overseas dealer of Dawn 2000B.
Of course, the latter is just an addition.
Although the computing power of model B is slightly higher than that of model T, for foreign users, it is a technology two or three years ago, and there are no additional benefits. Even at a cabbage price, it is difficult to sell it.
"Professor Yang."
In the conference room of Torch Group, Chang Haonan is deploying the sales strategy of the official version of TORCH Multiphysics software:
“Send a letter to all users who have tried our software and provided at least one valid feedback, telling them that they can get a long-term discount of 10% off the public sale price. In addition, if they subscribe for more than three years at a time, You can also add another 10% discount..."
Although he dare not say how professional he is in this regard, as someone who has seen various marketing strategies in the Internet era, even if he is just thinking about it, It would definitely be an exaggeration to say that some methods are shocking to the world, but it is still not a problem to make people’s eyes brighter.
Just like Yang Huimei at this time.
She was writing furiously, writing down what Chang Haonan had just said in her notebook.
After a few years, the sales situation of TORCH Multiphysics will no longer be a secret to Torch Group, and it can even become a classic case used in classes.
However, after finishing writing, Yang Huimei read it again from beginning to end, and then frowned slightly:
"Mr. Chang, didn't you say before that you would handle it in a low-key manner this time?"
< br>“We have hundreds of trial users who have given feedback, and we will notify them one by one... Isn’t that considered low-key?”
“The Sugon 2000T needs to be dealt with in a low-key manner. TORCHMultiphysics doesn’t matter.”
Chang Haonan’s answer highlighted a confident and confident answer:
“Rather, the release of TORCH Multiphysics should be made more public, so as to hide it from others.”
“As for having a special edition software, it should be bundled with the supercomputer. Let’s not lay it out yet. Kailai notification can be targeted to find a few users with strong purchasing intention to test the waters, and it is best to use the telephone method, so that the scope of communication will be more controllable."
"That's it. ..."
Yang Huimei quickly agreed with Chang Haonan's explanation:
"Do you already have candidates, or do you want me to pick some from user feedback?"
"Is this..."
Chang Haonan leaned on the wide backrest of the boss's chair, raised his eyes to the sky and thought for a while:
"Let's start from Maranello. "
"Ferrari won the constructor's championship last year, and this year it will definitely compete for the team and driver's championship. There is an urgent need for this, and... they have deep pockets, and they probably don't care about buying a supercomputer. ”
