Naturally, many people in the conference room opposed the old man''s proposal. Although the old R & D personnel''s proposal is indeed the most secure, it starts from light helicopters to heavy helicopters, then to fixed wing aircraft, and finally to large fixed wing aircraft.
As aircraft R & D or aircraft related R & D personnel, these people present are naturally very aware of the time required. Even with the R & D ability of Tiangong technology, it is impossible to develop large aircraft without a few years.
As soon as he sat down, someone stood up again. Although the man who stood up this time was a little older, he was much younger than the one before, about forty or fifty years old.
After standing up, he immediately said, "Mr. Wang! And everyone, I don''t agree with Master Li. I don''t think we need to research and develop light helicopters and light aircraft. After all, Tiangong technology is not a company without aircraft research and development experience.
Because before that, we have developed an aircraft, that is, Tiangong-1 UAV. Although this aircraft is only a UAV, this UAV is not an ordinary UAV, but a large UAV that can meet the double three standard and take into account invisibility, and it is also a large UAV with very large load capacity.
Therefore, I think Tiangong technology is fully capable of developing manned combat aircraft of the same type. Finally, I think we should directly develop fixed wing aircraft and start with combat aircraft above supersonic medium, because Tiangong technology is fully capable.
As for helicopters, I also think that if we really want to develop helicopters, we can start with medium and large helicopters. "Like Master Li before, the middle-aged man sat down.
Wang Bin agrees with the words of the middle-aged man who has just sat down, because with the current technical level of Tiangong technology, it can start from medium and large aircraft, whether in helicopters or fixed wing aircraft, as well as R & D direction.
However, Wang Bin did not immediately say his plan, but quietly listened to the opinions of these R & D personnel.
These R & D personnel have a lot of opinions. Some, like Master Li before, think that the manufacturing of light aircraft with low technology content should start from civil aircraft, while others think that the R & D of light military aircraft should start. However, not many people support this kind of aircraft, only accounting for one tenth of these R & D personnel in the whole conference room.
In addition, some people support the research and development of medium and large aircraft, and some even think that they can start the research and development directly from the highest cutting-edge aircraft such as military fighters and bombers. After all, Tiangong technology has solved the engine problem of these aircraft. Even the largest aircraft will be developed as long as it takes some time.
After the employees had basically expressed their opinions, he said, "ladies and gentlemen, I have made a statistics on your opinions, and there are five opinions in total.
The first opinion, as Master Li said before, starts from civil light and small helicopters step by step, and has been developing to medium and large aircraft step by step. Finally, Cai Cai develops the world''s top release aircraft. However, like most people, such step-by-step research and development is not suitable for our Tiangong Technology.
The second opinion completely abandons the research and development in the field of civil aircraft, but directly starts from military light and small helicopters and fixed wing aircraft. I also reserve my attitude towards this kind of opinion. As before, it is not suitable for today''s Tiangong technology.
The third opinion is that we can start with medium and large helicopters and develop fixed wing light and small aircraft at the same time. I think this proposal is too conservative.
The fourth opinion is to start directly from high-end aircraft, which I also think is not appropriate. After all, Tiangong technology has developed aircraft for the first time, so soldiers should not set their goals too high.
The last suggestion is to start with medium and large helicopters or combat. I still very much agree with this suggestion, so I decided to start with medium and large helicopters and fighters to carry out aircraft R & D and manufacturing. "
Subsequently, Wang Bin discussed with these R & D personnel whether to develop helicopters or fighters first. However, the final results of the discussion were somewhat beyond Wang Bin''s expectation. In Wang Bin''s idea, he was ready to carry out the R & D of medium and large-scale transport aircraft first, and he was ready to put aside the helicopter first.
After all, in China, there are still some manufacturers in the research and development of helicopters, even private manufacturers. For example, Kunlun aircraft manufacturing group. Due to the great success of Kunlun''s light helicopters, it is now making ambitious preparations to enter the field of medium-sized general-purpose helicopters.
Therefore, if Tiangong technology really wants to carry out research and development in helicopters, it is obviously impossible to carry out research and development of general medium-sized helicopters like Kunlun company. It must start with medium-sized and large helicopters, at least larger than Kunlun company''s helicopters.
In this way, even for today''s Tiangong technology, it is also a great challenge. After all, according to the data of Kunlun company, if Tiangong technology wants to develop, it must at least develop helicopters with a payload of more than 8 tons, and helicopters with a payload of more than 8 tons can be different from helicopters with a payload of less than 5 tons, Its technical difficulty is higher and more complex.
However, according to the ideas of these R & D personnel, they believe that Tiangong technology is absolutely capable of developing medium and large helicopters with a payload of more than eight tons. Some people even hope to carry out tilt rotor aircraft. Wang Bin will not attack them for their enthusiasm. Therefore, Wang Bin also agreed to their request, The projects of medium and large helicopters and tilt rotor aircraft have been launched, and the heads of two projects have been specially selected for this purpose.
In terms of fixed wing aircraft, Wang Bin decided to start the research and development from the transport plane because he had been developing the Phoenix fighter before, and it still takes the design structure of Phoenix as the main body and carries out the research and development of the miniaturized model, which will not only greatly reduce the difficulty in research and development, but also, It can also lay a foundation for the production of real Phoenix bombers in the future.
In fact, the reason why Wang Bin''s Tiangong technology chose No. 9 transport aircraft for transformation and installed tg-s002 engine this time also has its own purpose, that is, they want to see the internal structure and design purpose of No. 9 transport aircraft, and see if they can use the same design when designing their own transport aircraft in the future.
