Chapter 392 Ownership of the Large Bypass Ratio Turbofan Project

Because of this sudden large-scale flood, many originally planned plans had to be postponed, such as the college entrance examination marking in many provinces, the first flight of Project 112, and the progress of the delivery of J-8C fighter jets from Factory ...

But if I have to say it, it’s not entirely like this——

Since the work of many factories and subsidiaries under the aviation industry system has been affected, many researchers who were busy working on projects have been idle for the first time.

This resulted in meeting times that were previously difficult to coordinate now becoming no 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 aerospace engine industry. Invitations to the conference are sent out.

Anyway, spanking a child on a rainy day is just idle time.

Why not take advantage of this free time to go to Hong Kong City for a meeting.

During this period of time, 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:

"Absolutely. The conditions of the three parties have basically been determined. The specific form of technology introduction is similar to that of Project 4. The four engines that have just been used for ground testing and the production of the first prototype will be imported from the factories in Moscow and Ufa. Import the entire unit for assembly, and then gradually transition to our production of all parts other than the core engine. After completing the order for 300 engines in this way, we will transfer all related production tasks, and finally achieve the parallel production of the Russian version on both sides. The plan of two products of the same model and different specifications with the Chinese version..."

"At the same time, the engine designer Ivchenko 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 created last year really shocked the Russians:

"So...which group of factories on our side 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 aerospace 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 that the report you gave to Director Ding was very detailed, so I won't talk to you anymore about the situation and level of various aerospace power-related factories in our system. In short, except for the 606 Institute and Liming Factory, In addition, the other companies certainly do not have the ability to complete this kind of project on their own right now, but Shengjing has to concentrate on the research and development of the turbofan 10 and the production of the turbojet 14, and I am afraid that they will not be able to spare it in a short time. energy."

"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, and make decisions based on the resources allocated to each factory on the turbofan 10 project. Who will be responsible for the localization of D436T1?"

The latter took the information and almost burst out laughing——

This wave, this wave is something everyone has thought about together.

Although there are many institutions in China that are building aircraft 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.

Moreover, the strength is also very weak.

In this way, it is necessary to obtain technical assistance to proceed, so it would be better to hold it together at the Aviation Industry Conference.

But even Chang Haonan himself didn't expect that Ding Gaoheng would directly let him 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 Aviation 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 6 engines used in the H-8 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 the 430 Factory 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 towards 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 launched at the end of last year, Factory 430 sent many engineers to Shengjing to participate and learn. Not to mention how much knowledge they can gain, at least they will have richer experience in connecting with Factory 410."

"In addition, because in the Turbofan 10 project, almost all technologies are brand new to us, and the risks are too high, so I have previously considered incorporating some key technologies, especially engine manufacturing technology, into the domestic production of Sibei MK202. model, that is, the technical verification of the turbofan 9 in advance, on the one hand, it can share the risks, and on the other hand, it can also speed up the research and development progress. This originally requires in-depth cooperation between the 606 Institute, the 410 Factory and the 430 Factory, and it is just in time to take advantage of this Opportunity to build our own second aero-engine industrial base."

Chang Haonan's explanation was reasonable and well-founded, so Liang Zhuoping had no objection:

"Okay, then I will make detailed arrangements when I get back."

After all, Haojing was mainly responsible for the production and research and development of large and medium-sized aircraft in the past. Now that the Chinese high-bypass ratio turbofan engine is placed here, it can be regarded as a close-knitted platform:

"By the way, there's also this."

Before leaving, Liang Zhuoping handed Chang Haonan a 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 meeting will probably become a landmark event in the history of the development of our Chinese aviation industry!"

The next chapter needs to be revised and may be posted later.
