Chapter 844 (2/2)

Colonel Freiburg, of German descent, has heard many of his fellow countrymen mention Bao's richest man. Colonel Freiburg also has friends with Professor Bowman of MIT. Of course, he will help one or two if conditions permit. Of course, he is also helping himself. Professor Bowman has never worried about drinking. Every month, black cloud staff are sent home, and Colonel Freiburg knows all of them.

The next morning, Colonel Freiburg really surprised baozixuan.

During the Vietnam War, helicopters really began to play their strength on the battlefield. However, many of the armed helicopters equipped by the U.S. military in that year were hastily launched. Therefore, the U.S. Army expected that the attack helicopter in the future would have fast flight speed, long circling time and strong enough firepower. This helicopter was the ah-56 Cheyenne armed helicopter of Lockheed company in that year.

Ah-56 Cheyenne armed helicopter is very advanced in many aspects, such as rigid rotor, propeller propulsion and so on. Today, it is an advanced design. Before, the weapons lecture hall made a lot of introductions to high-speed helicopters. Many of their design concepts can be found on ah-56.

In order to provide forward power, ah-56 is equipped with a forward propeller at the tail for forward power output. In order to have a certain lift when moving forward, ah-56 is also equipped with a long wing on both sides of the fuselage, so as to provide the lift and stability required for high-speed flight.

On the left side of the tail of ah-56, a side tail rotor with four rotors is designed to provide aircraft selection and lateral maneuvering. A general electric t64-ge-16 engine is used on the engine, which can output 2930kw power, push the helicopter with an empty weight of 5.5t to the maximum speed of 393kmh and the practical ceiling of 6100m, and the load is also very strong, reaching 8.3t, Therefore, it has very strong loading strength. That means being able to carry more weapons.

At the same time, the helicopter's firepower is very strong. An m12940mm grenade launcher or xm1967.62mm six barrel Gatling machine gun can be installed on the nose. At the same time, an xm14030mm machine gun is installed in the abdomen. Because of its unique power output mode, the whole fuselage is relatively stable. With the aircraft that can be close to the ground, the attack of these two machine guns on the ground is very smooth.

In addition, it can carry 6 bgm-71 towed anti armor missiles, 6 rocket launchers and external fuel tanks under its wing. On the whole, ah-56 has powerful firepower and fast speed, which can perfectly meet the requirements of the army for air support, but it also has a major disadvantage, that is, it lacks stability and maneuverability. Compared with ordinary helicopters, its power structure is too complex, so it is a very big problem for operation and overall stability.

It was because of the cost that the US military handed over a large number of orders to AH-64 Apache helicopters. The ah-56 project does not produce many aircraft, only 30 in total, which are basically stored at Davis air force base.

Bao Zixuan certainly knows the pioneering work of modern high-speed helicopter, ah-56 Cheyenne armed helicopter developed by Lockheed. Indeed, as Colonel Freiburg said, but this aircraft is not only untimely, but also involves a series of issues such as the distribution of interests and the balance of the U.S. military.

Lockheed has the largest share of fixed wing aircraft. Once they are allowed to hit the market on helicopters. Then other companies still have a way to live, which is bound to lead to uneven distribution of interests. The U.S. government and the Department of defense do not allow a military industrial enterprise to dominate, which is easy to pose a threat to the military. More unfavorable to competition and technological innovation.

At this time, baozixuan had a more crazy idea in his heart, not only to buy inventory aircraft. And get a production license; Or get the authorization to allow the black cloud group to update on this basis.

Bao Zixuan: ”this aircraft is not wasted here. After all, the U.S. military will not use it. It's better to authorize it. Black cloud group can take over the whole project. ”

I heard that baozixuan not only wants to buy aircraft, but also wants technology and production line. It is beyond the scope of their authorization and must ask Secretary of defense Caspar Weinberg for instructions.

Bao Zixuan is a person who pays attention to efficiency. Ian Wright immediately contacted Caspar Weinberg.

The Ministry of defense did not pay special attention to the ah-56 project. It had invested a lot before. In addition, it needed a lot of money to replace military vehicles. It's also good to recover some funds. As for technology output to black cloud group; The US military is not worried about this at all. People have technology themselves, but they don't want to waste time.

In total, the technical patents of ah-56 project and the production line were sold to heiyun group at the price of cabbage.

The U.S. Department of defense received $120 million and Lockheed received $200 million. At that time, the Ministry of defense and Lockheed were very excited. No one expected any surprises.

But the US military and Lockheed were almost sprayed to death by the media and the public until the black cloud helicopter hung around the world.
