"Congratulations, I guessed it right," Chen Geng nodded in the face of Mao Donghai's shock, surprise and incredible gaze, "The first improvement of nk-8, that is, the design work of civilian book has been completed..."

Before Chen Geng finished speaking, Mao Donghai had already grabbed Chen Geng and asked anxiously: "When is it? Why don't I know?"

After saying that, before Chen Geng answered, Mao Donghai said to himself with a happy face: "With the Russians' accomplishments in this mobilization, since the design work has been completed, it is estimated that they will be able to obtain a production license and an airworthiness license in the first two years, right?"

"Absolutely," Chen Geng said humbly and politely: "According to the engineering and technical personnel of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, there is almost no need to revise the civilian improvement model this time. As long as we do not omissions, it is absolutely fine to complete airworthiness evidence collection within the year."

"Awesome!" Mao Donghai looked admirable: "This is really amazing..."

It’s okay not to admire it!

After the design of an aircraft engine is completed, the next procedure is to test production in small batches, followed by test flights and airworthiness certification. If there is no problem, the next time is to obtain a production license and airworthiness license. As long as some links do not lose track, Mao Donghai feels that two to years is enough.

But this is not the thing that surprised Mao Donghai the most and admired the most. What really surprised and admired him is how long has it been since the introduction of technology to the present? Runhua Industrial has already completed the corresponding improvement and design work in conjunction with the Kuznetsov Design Bureau? This is too exaggerated!

But if you think about it carefully, Mao Donghai took it for granted.

First of all, the Kuznetsov Design Bureau has been playing the NK-8 startup for more than 0 years, and I know this engine well. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have played this engine. Naturally, if you want to make it round, you will roll it into round, and if you want to make it grow, you will grow it.

Although the time has been a little shorter from receiving the task of these two improved models, the civilian NK-8 improved model only takes reducing fuel consumption and improving comfort as the direction of improvement. It is not like upgrading from NK-8-2 to NK-8-6, requiring that the thrust be increased by nearly 0% while the engine size is basically unchanged. On the contrary, Runhua Industrial's requirements actually reduce the difficulty to some extent.

Secondly, Runhua Industrial is rich. As the saying goes, a penny stumps heroes. Nothing can be done without money. It is fine if Runhua Industrial is rich, but they spend their own money as they want. Unlike state-owned enterprises, they have to apply to their superiors without spending a penny, and their flexibility is more than one.

With these two points as a guarantee, after so long, it is indeed time for the improvement plan of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau to be released.

“That’s great, so good…”

Mao Donghai grinned and laughed constantly. With the improved nk-8, I am still afraid of b-Luo Luo's yarn? I want me to be humble to you again? Get out of here!

However, compared to the civilian improved model, Mao Donghai is more concerned about the military modifications used on the H-6 improved model and the H-8. After a brief excitement, he hurriedly asked: "What about that military model, what about it?"

"It will take two months," Chen Geng raised his fingers, smiling from ear to ear: "The design work will be completed in two months. It is estimated that the time to obtain a production license and an airworthiness license is similar to that of a civilian type..."

"Okay! That's great!" Mao Donghai slapped his thigh in excitement, feeling a lot of anger in his heart: "When we have our own great thrust to launch, let's see who dares to show us our face."

"It's too early to say those," Chen Geng shook his head. Compared to Mao Donghai's excitement about military improvements, Chen Geng is obviously more interested in this civilian improvement: "Our NK-8 civilian improvement is slightly worse than the RB10 of B-Roy Ronaldo, but it is much better than the JTD on McDonnell-80/82. With this civilian improvement, we have the confidence to wrestle with B-Roy Ronaldo..."

"I didn't say anything, let's do it!"

It is estimated that Mao Donghai was so excited by the previous attitude of B-Ro Luo. Before Chen Geng finished speaking, Mao Donghai snorted: "They are willing to cooperate with us, so they will cooperate. If they are not willing to cooperate with us, we will not beg them. Anyway, their launch will not be able to obtain an airworthiness license until 1996, which is two years later than our launch. What's there to be afraid of?"

"What I said is," Chen Geng laughed, his eyes flashing with a cold light: "If the British and Germans are making trouble behind the scenes, we can't give up the European market for the time being. Anyway, just our production capacity will not even meet the demand in the domestic market."

This is not Chen Geng's big talk, but it is indeed the case.

The original NK-8 of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau was launched, not to mention the noise, but only the fuel consumption economy that each airline pays most attention to, and there is no competitive advantage in this regard. As long as you understand that even the Russians who have never cared about fuel consumption are unwilling to use it, and when the picture 154 is upgraded to Tu-154, you can know how "touching" the fuel consumption of NK-8 is.

But the improved NK-8 for civilian use is different. Although the fuel consumption and economy are not as good as the BR10, it is much easier than the JTD installed on the Boeing-200 and McDonnell-82. Since our air transport companies can even accept the relatively fuel-consuming JTD, why can't the improved NK-8?

Not to mention that compared to B-Luo Luo's br10, Runhua Industrial's own NK-8 civilian improvement model is not only much cheaper, but also does not require expensive foreign exchange!

But this is so attractive!

Why did the Republic try its best to promote P-5 and improved NK-8?

Why did the State Administration of Civil Aviation hold meetings many times to recommend p-5 to each company?

It’s because you don’t spend foreign exchange!

Mao Donghai nodded heavily: "Then let's just say that, give the British and German guys with their eyes on their heads a good look?"

I like to be a grandson for others!

"By the way, there is one more thing, brother, please help me coordinate."

"You said." Mao Donghai said immediately.

"Runhua Industrial lacks a suitable air-launch experiment platform," Chen Geng sighed when talking about this: "Without this thing, many projects cannot be tested."

Mao Donghai also frowned: "It's really a problem."

In the research of aviation engines, although it is possible to simulate the high altitude state in a specially built laboratory, so that the engine can obtain key data for high altitude operation at the minimum cost, so as to facilitate targeted adjustments by design and engineering and technical personnel, it is still an indispensable part to conduct real high altitude testing with a flight test platform. After all, no matter how powerful the laboratory is, it cannot fully simulate all the conditions encountered in the air, especially at high altitude.

To put it bluntly, the so-called air test platform is actually a flight specially designed for testing and launching. This flight is usually modified by cargo or civil aviation. It has a special support for various types of engines. There is a huge space in the belly to install various equipment for real-time monitoring of various engine data for testing. The United States has specially modified a number of flights for aviation-engineering air test flights and data collection, including Boeing, Boeing 4, etc., and it is naturally indispensable for Russians. The most commonly used air test flight platform modified with Il-6. Of course, our country also has it. It is a flight test platform code-named 226, which is modified from the fourth aircraft of the four map-16 we bought from the Soviet Union.

"What do you mean is, do you want to borrow the 226 flight test bench?" Mao Donghai's brow frowned into the Sichuan word: "That's the treasure of our country's aviation industry. If you rub a piece of paint, someone will probably fight you to the death..."

"No, no, I don't plan to borrow our 226 platform," Chen Geng said, "I mean, can the country dismantle all military combat equipment from those long-lasting Hong-6, and sell it to us, and we can modify a flight test platform?"

"You guys build your own flight test platform?" Mao Donghai's eyes widened: "Brother, do you know how expensive this thing is..."

"We Runhua Industrial has money." Before Mao Donghai finished speaking, Chen Geng said: "As long as the problems can be solved with money, it is not a problem."

"..." Mao Donghai was so hungry that he was not choked to death by Chen Geng's words!

Is it great to have money?

Is it awesome if you have money?

You can't be so proud even if you have money, right?

Mao Donghai was indignant.

But no matter how angry he was, Mao Donghai was actually very clear that having money is great, having money is awesome, and having money can certainly be proud - just like Chen Geng in front of him.

Before Mao Donghai could speak, Chen Geng continued: "I thought I could buy a two-H-6, which could be cheaper, but if the above thought it was inappropriate and worried that even such a Hong-6 would be in danger of leaking national secrets, it would not matter. Didn't the Soviet Union use Il-6 to transport five Il-6-ll to start the air test platform? It just so happened that the Soviet Union was in chaos during this period. I'll see if I could find a way to get one back."

Mao Donghai wants to scold people again: It’s so great to have money? Is it so great to have money? Is it so proud to have money?

But Chen Geng actually began to carefully consider whether he wanted to modify a Hong-6 as a launch test platform, or directly find a way to get an Il-6-ll launch test platform from the old Russians: the Russians' Il-6-ll, all kinds of test and testing equipment are available. After buying it, it can be used for a little modification. The only trouble is that all the display and interface are Russian, but with the number of Russian engineers in Runhua Industrial, this is not a big problem.
