Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1089 Acquisition Plan
"So, aircraft engines are no longer a problem now." Jiang Yan asked after listening.

"Yes, it's not a problem. The alloy technologies you provided have greatly improved our aircraft production. Now the material problems that are blocking us have been basically solved."

"In the past, my country had accumulated a lot of technology in the manufacturing of large aircraft. Mr. Jiang, as you know, the manufacturing technology of large aircraft requires a large investment and a long cycle. Our country simply cannot afford such a large investment. After all, there are many places where money is scarce and related supporting facilities are not perfect. Many technologies have been created, but there is no money for subsequent investment, so the development was relatively slow at that time. Now, with the investment of our group in the large aircraft project, we have sufficient funds, and many projects that had been stagnant before have begun to be studied."

Having said this, Wang Yang looked at Jiang Yan embarrassedly, then spoke carefully.

"Our research is heavy. We are not only researching some projects of large aircraft engines, but also cooperating with several well-known domestic research institutes to research other aircraft projects. In addition, the instruments in our institute are the most advanced. Many research institutes of related units will also come here for exchanges. You also understand brainstorming, so the development is relatively fast."

The reason why Wang Yang spoke so carefully was that Jiang Yan and his company invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the entire research institute every year, but half of the funds were used for research in other areas. Otherwise, the domestic aircraft industry would not have entered a large field. It can be said that almost half of the entire aviation industry is now invested by Jiang Yan.

After all, his boss is a private boss. If he knew about the misappropriation of funds, he might reduce his investment. But to be honest, if Jiang Yan no longer continues to invest, half of the projects will probably be cancelled.

After all, the overall environment is not very good now, and many industries are still enduring.

"That's what I thought! The annual investment is continuously increasing. This year's investment is already close to 600 million!" Jiang Yan asked with a wry smile.

He really didn't expect that the research institute would be a great opportunity for him, but he didn't care. He still had a lot of funds in Hang Seng Bank, much of which had no place to invest. A while ago, at the invitation of a domestic bank, Jiang Yan specially transferred 100 billion US dollars. He had no place to spend the converted RMB, and the money was still too much!

"Okay, don't worry. Contributing to the country is the obligation of every citizen. Just consider it as my donation to the country! I will tell the group company that the funds for the institute will not be deducted in the future and will continue to be invested."

"Sir, you are very righteous." Wang Yang said.

"How is the control mechanism of the aircraft designed by our Ruyi Aviation Group? Do you think there are any shortcomings?"

"Mr. Jiang, what I am saying is from the bottom of my heart. I am not trying to flatter you. The management of our institute group is centered on finance, and the experts of the general engineering command are the leaders. There is no such thing as laymen guiding experts. The other responsible persons only play a supporting role. Strictly speaking, they are in charge of logistics."

"It can be said that across the country, there is no unit with a better research environment than ours. Only after everyone's worries are resolved can we work better."

"Okay, okay, it's a bit too much." Jiang Yan waved his hand with satisfaction.

"By the way, how many people do we have in the entire research institute now, and how many designers do we have?" Jiang Yan asked. "Now we have more than 2,000 dedicated researchers in the entire base, but due to requests from other units, especially the military, about one-third of our people are researching other aircraft, such as transport aircraft, and the rest are researching our large aircraft. Of course, if there are problems in the research of large aircraft, this part of the personnel will not stand idly by."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan nodded. It was okay. He could still distinguish the main from the secondary.

“But with the development in recent years and the increasing popularity of our institute, more and more engineers and graduates of various aviation majors in the country have gathered here.

"Now there are more than 4,900 designers in Xinyi Research Institute, not including those who have just joined the company as interns. The arrival of these people has greatly accelerated the development of large aircraft. The first prototype has begun to be assembled. It is expected that the first prototype will be able to complete the test flight in 1994."

"Also, there has been a breakthrough in the research of large military aircraft this year. It is estimated that by the end of this year, the first prototype will be able to fly."

"Not bad, not bad." Jiang Yan said with satisfaction.

Jiang Yan knew the difference between military transport aircraft and civilian aircraft. Structurally, military transport aircraft have thicker fuselages and larger cargo hold floor areas than civilian transport aircraft. In addition, military aircraft have large doors at the rear to facilitate loading and unloading of large equipment and vehicles from the back of the aircraft. Opening the rear door in the air can also airdrop large equipment. Military aircraft generally use a high-wing layout, which can ensure that the engine has sufficient ground clearance and prevent the engine from sucking in foreign matter when taking off and landing at field simple airports. Civilian transport aircraft are not like this. They usually take off and land at standard airports. In order to facilitate the maintenance of the engine under the wing, a low-wing is generally used. Military aircraft also use multi-wheel landing gear and low-pressure tires to reduce the pressure between the tires and the runway, so that the aircraft can take off and land and taxi smoothly on softer dirt runways.

In fact, the biggest difference between military transport aircraft and civilian aircraft is not the layout and structural design of the wings and landing gear, but the difference in design concepts. The design concept of military transport aircraft is "flying cargo hold", which requires carrying capacity and huge space.

The design concept of civil transport aircraft pursues passenger comfort, operational economy and flight safety, so more requirements are placed on the platform's aerodynamic performance and maneuverability.

From the perspective of higher design requirements, since the carrying capacity of civil aircraft is not a problem, the design considers economy more, so it pays more attention to details in design. The most important technical indicators of military transport aircraft are carrying capacity and range, so very high requirements are placed on the engine, fuel system, and aircraft cruising performance.

Without considering comfort and other details, the research on military transport aircraft is much faster than that on civilian ones. This is also why the military will invest so quickly in the research of similar aircraft.

"Chief Engineer Wang, what are your requirements for the electronic equipment used on the John Bull aircraft? Please be more specific so that I can give them further information. It would be best if you can give me some general knowledge. My knowledge in this area is a little weak, so could you please give me some general knowledge?" Jiang Yan spoke sincerely.

"Mr. Jiang, you're too polite. Since you want to know, let's talk about it." Wang Yang was very satisfied with his boss's thirst for knowledge and spoke happily.
