Chapter 545 The agile Italian

Although AgustaWestland intends to conduct technical cooperation with Bingcheng Aircraft Industry Group, the prototype of the Zhi-9WY has been test-flying in Haojing, and about a year ago, China and Europe also signed the far-reaching agreement here. aviation industry cooperation agreement.

Therefore, this time the Italians still chose to stay in this old place that they are relatively familiar with.

Of course, it also comes with some on-the-ground confirmation whether you really have something or if you are just bluffing.

On the tarmac, Chang Haonan, who had just flown here earlier that morning, finally saw the helicopter that had fascinated Italians——

Although the underlying technology that completed the design came from Chang Haonan, this was indeed the first time he saw the helicopter with his own eyes.

After all, Liu Hongbo had been handling it before.

At first glance, it looks a bit like Zhi 9WA/WZ in his previous life.

Flat nose, photoelectric aiming equipment below, curved hanging beam that does not take up space in the cabin...

However, there are indeed many differences in the details, especially the details of the main rotor and engine protective cover.

Of course, this is also the basis for determining the quiet performance of this aircraft.

Cui Wenxue, Guo Jingshan and Liu Hongbo gathered around Chang Haonan a little later and were introducing the basic performance of the helicopter to the latter.

Of course, there’s also a rainbow fart.

Generally speaking, Cui Wenxue, as general manager, will not be directly involved in specific technical issues such as test flights of new models.

But this time the situation is different after all.

When discussing cooperation with foreign colleagues, the top leader must come forward.

In the hangar a little further away, a young engineer who was preparing data and materials on site raised his head and breathed into his frozen hands to keep them warm.

Although they come from the ice city in the north, it is known that northerners mainly rely on equipment to survive the winter.

Therefore, Hao Jing was not feeling well at the turn of February and March.

"Hey, who is that hovering around the helicopter over there?"

One of the shorter engineers touched the arm of his companion next to him and motioned him to look into the distance.

The latter raised his eyes and looked over there:

"Mr. Cui and Mr. Guo, who else can they be?"

"There is also Professor Liu who came here before. He is very good. He came up with the front fuselage and rotor design of the new helicopter. You should have seen it during the technical seminar before."

Then he looked at the screen again, ready to continue working.

He is just an ordinary engineer in Institute 602, and he knows his position very well.

Doing your own work well without delaying others is the greatest help to the organization.

"No, of course I'm not talking about those three."

The first man patted his companion on the shoulder reluctantly:

"Look carefully, all three of them are following another person!"

"How could..."

The latter raised his head again impatiently.

Then the sound stopped.

After a few seconds, he pushed his glasses up hard.

"This doesn't look like Mr. Liang..."

The short man's voice came from next to him again.

Mr. Liang naturally refers to Liang Zhuoping.

If these three people can be followed behind, the first person who comes to mind must be the general manager of the Aviation Industry Corporation.

But no matter looking at age or hair volume, it is obviously not the case.

"Hiss...it can't be Mr. Chang Haonan, right?"

"Who?"

"The general manager of Torch Group, the super guy who developed the TORCH Multiphysics software, is said to be younger than the two of us."

For two engineers at the most basic level, if they didn't pay extra attention, the amount of information they obtained in the late 90s would not be very large.

Especially when the popularity of the Internet is not very high, it is normal to not know what Chang Haonan looks like if you missed the few times Chang Haonan appeared on TV.

"Fuck, are you so awesome?"

"I said that our group has suddenly become enlightened during this time, and can come up with all kinds of good things... It turns out that we have invited such a god..."

"Sigh... If only I could be half as good as him, no, one third as powerful..."

"Get to work quickly, don't let your imagination run wild, you have no hope..."

"..."

After a while of whispering to each other, the two of them saw a few people in the distance walking towards the hangar and quickly fell silent.

……

Not long after, two minibuses drove directly into the test flight area from the outfield along a lane that was not usually used, and finally stopped at the edge of the apron.

Naturally, what got off the car was the Italian delegation that had just landed.

This time, they did not transfer domestically, but took an Airbus A340 to fly directly from Rome to Hokyong.

Naturally, it was impossible for a civil aviation aircraft to land directly at the airport of the flight test institute, so in the end we had to use a car to pick people up.

Cui Wenxue, who had been prepared for a long time, took the lead to greet him.

In the subsequent process of determining the specific cooperation plan, Chang Haonan, who has mastered the core technology and has a strong voice within the Science and Technology Commission, is naturally the absolute leader.

But nominally, Agusta is cooperating with Bingfei Group, so Cui Wenxue is still responsible for these matters.

Of course, Chang Haonan also enjoys his leisure time.

He didn't particularly like to interact with people.

Just because he was so strong, he accidentally made a lot of connections...

However, it is unexpected, but also reasonable.

Chang Haonan soon saw the familiar face of the leader in the Italian delegation.

Rosie Colombo.

After some fruitless pleasantries, the Italian's attention was quickly attracted by the helicopter parked not far away.

In fact, this Z-9WY has already been publicly displayed and flown at the Singapore Air Show.

However, the European and American media did not pay much attention to the Chinese exhibition area, and Italy did not participate in the Singapore Air Show. Therefore, including Colombo, this was the first time for everyone in the delegation to see it up close. .

Nico Gambelli, who was following Colombo, stepped forward and took a closer look at the helicopter in front of him.

As the technical director of the 15-seat new helicopter project, he was invited to oversee the cooperation.

To be fair, even if you just look at the surface of the plane, you can feel a simple aura coming towards you.

For an Italian who likes precision and luxury, this feeling is like someone putting green peppers into Roujiamo in front of Haojing people, which is very uncomfortable.

He looked at Colombo next to him with a slightly suspicious look.

Subjectively, he didn't quite believe that a helicopter with this kind of workmanship could be as quiet as the other party said.

Chang Haonan and Cui Wenxue did not restrict the group of Italians from looking around.

Just like some exams, you will fail even if you open the book.

The helicopter's main rotor needs to strike a balance between silence and efficiency, and also needs to be designed to be coupled with the fuselage. The whole process requires a lot of experience and calculation skills.

Not to mention just looking at the aircraft, even if Chang Haonan lent them Zhi 9WY's design drawings, there was no way to transfer them to other designs as they were.

"I have seen artificial dolphins made in France, and at least the workmanship is much better than this one. The difference that can be noticed at a glance is mainly that the tip of the rotor has been sharpened and swept, and the shape of the engine cover is rather strange."

While talking, Gambelli and Colombo retreated to a position farther away from the helicopter, because the two test pilots had already entered the cabin and were starting the helicopter in preparation for a demonstration flight.

"To be honest, it's hard for me to believe that such a helicopter can reach..."

Before he finished speaking, a gust of breeze blew from the direction of the tarmac.

Obviously, this is the air wave caused by the rotation of the helicopter's rotor.

Because the distance is far enough, the wind is actually not too strong.

Even the hat on his head will not be blown away.

But when the gentle breeze blew on Gambelli's face, it made him feel a bit of burning pain in his face——

The plane had already taken off, and the conversation he just had with Colombo wasn't even interrupted by the noise.

"Dr. Gambelli, I'm sorry I didn't hear clearly just now. What do you mean it's hard to believe?"

Colombo didn't mean to be sarcastic. He was really in a daze and didn't hear clearly.

"I said……"

Gambelli froze for a moment, but soon changed his words without changing his expression and heartbeat:

"I said, it's hard for me to believe that we didn't find out until now that the Chinese people have such a high level of helicopter design..."
