Chapter 517 Turboprop 7 and Turboshaft 7
Chang Haonan has not followed the entire testing process of Turbofan 9A.
He is the chief designer of Turbofan 10 after all, so he only needs to focus on some key testing links involving new technologies.
As for the remaining parts, comrades from Haojing will naturally be responsible for handling it.
In any case, the Turbofan 9 is, after all, the model of the Haofa Group on paper.
To Chang Haonan's surprise, the other party directly sent a whole team over.
Of course, this is an internal matter within someone else's company. He only needs to be responsible for handing over the work.
“Hello, comrade.”
Chang Haonan shook hands with the team leader opposite him in a routine manner, then waved his hand and motioned to the staff behind him to put the relevant documents on the table:
“This is the work plan list, these three are performance comparison reports before and after improvements, these are the work schedules that have been completed so far, these are some minor problems discovered so far, and these..."
After a month's work, the Turbofan 9 test project has actually been almost half completed, so the files on the table have almost piled up into a mountain.
Haofa Group should have set up responsible persons for different subsystems. In short, several people on the other side signed together, and it took almost an hour to get everything done.
After the handover ceremony.
“Oh, yes, that is indeed the case. I remember that in the end you reached an agreement with Rolls-Royce and introduced an M250 light engine, right?”
“Ren Bingda…”
And if you insist on finding something to say, it will easily have the opposite effect.
Seeing that Chang Haonan still remembered him, Ren Bingda was overjoyed and nodded quickly:
“Yes, it's me. Last year, when I was deciding how to cooperate with Rolls-Royce Group, I submitted a report to you through Minister Zhang Zhenhua.”
When the other party described it like this, Chang Haonan remembered the complete ins and outs.
Chang Haonan was originally prepared to just deal with it with a few words and then pass.
However, building relationships also tests one's skills.
But just when he was about to leave, the team leader from Haofa came over specifically.
After a moment of recollection, he quickly remembered that he seemed to have seen this name in a report a few months ago.
"Oh...you are in charge of the business of the Siro Group..."
The latter is now a popular figure within the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and judging from organizational relationships, he is probably also highly regarded by the Science and Technology Commission.
“Yes, this project has been negotiated now, thanks to your guidance and help. I am looking for you this time to report on this matter...”
“However, this is the first time I have the honor to communicate with you face to face.”
Chang Haonan's flight was scheduled for the next day, and he originally planned to have a meal and then go back to rest.
The other party took out a business card as he spoke.
So Chang Haonan slowed down and let the other party catch up, and took the business card and looked at it twice.
Ren Bingda came to Chang Haonan specifically, and the core purpose was of course to get closer to him.
But the name felt a little familiar to him.
“Mr. Chang, I am the deputy general manager of Haojing Engine Group, Ren Bingda.”
Even now it may be difficult to truly become a confidant, but even if you just let the other person remember your name, it may be useful at some point in the future.
If you can't find any topic that interests both parties as a reason, it can only be regarded as saying hello at most.
Because of this, Ren Bingda specifically brought the topic to the cooperation with Rolls-Royce.
Also specially used the name of “reporting”.
Although there is no organizational affiliation between him and Chang Haonan.
As expected, the latter became interested in this:
“It's settled…that means we are already preparing to digest and absorb related technologies?”
This is almost the question that Ren Bingda wants to hear most. The point of flattering others is nothing more than "to do what they like".
There is no unified standard for this "good", but it must be analyzed based on specific objects.
Although it was the first time for Ren Bingda to meet Chang Haonan in person, he had already analyzed that the other person liked an efficient way of working.
So he quickly replied:
“We have made some concessions in terms of cost and asked Rolls-Royce to speed up the progress. We are currently debugging the production line and preparing to produce the first batch of engines through assembly with supplied materials.”
“It is expected that this batch of products will be rolled off the production line in March to April, and the localization rate will be increased to 100 within two years…”
"According to regulations, this kind of domestically produced engine must have its own name. After our communication, we reused the two names that had been planned before but had only reached the drawing stage, Turboprop 7 and Turboshaft 7. …”
The content of Ren Bingda's report indeed made Chang Haonan quite satisfied.
In terms of technical difficulty alone, the M250 is not an aircraft engine model with high manufacturing thresholds.
Otherwise, we would not have production lines in more than a dozen countries.
Even for China Aviation Industry, which is still in the development stage, if it really concentrates its efforts, it will not be difficult to produce such a lightweight product.
It's just that he has limited energy and can only focus on the big and let go of the small on specific projects.
The cost-efficiency ratio of going to war for such a model is really too low.
This is why the M250 has no rivals in the same level.
Everyone feels that it would be a waste to develop it from scratch.
The British are selling production lines everywhere again.
In the end, the same model with different names was produced all over the world.
In short, achieving nationwide production in two years is by no means a satellite launch even for the Haofa Group, which has poor technical strength.
“Are there any confirmed users now?”
Chang Haonan naturally found the basis for this model, which is Guihang's long-endurance UAV that imitates the Predator, and the new junior trainer aircraft that will replace the Chujiao 6 in the future.
However, it would be great if Haofa Group could find a way out on its own.
“We have been talking about this aspect, but now only the Hongdu Group has been confirmed, and they will use this model on the improved Agricultural 5 aircraft.”
Speaking of this, Ren Bingda looked a little worried.
In fact, although only one confirmed user has been discussed so far, after his research during this period, he found that many trainer aircraft and training helicopters used by civil aviation schools use this model of power, so there is really no need for it in the market. Worry too much.
The reason why he said this was just because he knew that this topic had come to an end, and before switching to new conversation content, he needed to leave an introduction for the next contact.
This is the same as pursuing a date with a girl.
Leave half of the topic, and it will be easy to use it as an excuse to ask out a second time naturally.
And it will never be cold.
Of course Chang Haonan can't just take over everything and say clearly that I will solve the guarantee problem for you.
Just nodded and replied in an encouraging tone:
“As long as there are initiating users, it is a good thing, which means there is no problem with the power-first approach.”
“The potential of the domestic aviation industry has not yet been fully unleashed, and there will definitely be no shortage of market for this kind of light power in the future!”
