Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

At major air shows in the world, military products are often the ones that attract the most attention.

Like some civilian airliners, there weren't many people watching.

This year's Lion City Airshow is naturally no exception.

When Daystar Technology's Kunpeng Kunpeng heavy-duty transport aircraft and Scorpion drones and other products appeared on the booth, they immediately attracted the attention of many viewers.

In particular, the emergence of a new heavy transport helicopter model that competes with Sikorsky's CH53 has exceeded many people's expectations.

"Mr. Cao, is your carrier-based version of the heavy transport helicopter finalized so soon?"

As the general manager of AVIC, Zhao Tianling naturally came to the Lion City Air Show today.

AVIC also brought several drones to the exhibition this time, hoping to replicate the glorious moment of Venus Technology.

But Daystar No. 9’s ground-breaking appearance snatched away all the traffic at once.

Immediately afterwards, the appearance of the Kunpeng heavy transport helicopter and the heavy transport helicopter model that matched the CH-53 once again attracted the attention of many people.

You know, as heavy transport helicopters developed by Boeing and Sikorsky, these two products are equipped in many countries around the world.

However, due to the relatively high price, many countries cannot afford it even if they want to buy it.

Of course, more often than not, some countries want to buy, but others won’t sell.

For example, countries such as Persia, North Korea, and China are actually willing to spend money to purchase a batch of heavy transport helicopters.

These products not only have unique military uses, but are also useful in various aspects such as emergency rescue and disaster relief.

It can be said that these two products are definitely developed very successfully as dual-use products for both military and civilian use.

Otherwise, after decades, there will be no substitute products to take their place.

Of course, these two similar products developed by Daystar Technology must have undergone many modern transformations.

For example, the consumption of high-end carbon fiber has increased significantly, which has not been reflected before.

Another example is the improvement of engine power performance, which can also be regarded as the strength of Venus Technology.

Other flight control systems and other control system-related components also have unique designs.

To put it bluntly, the performance of these two helicopters from Daystar Technology is one generation more advanced than the original versions of Boeing and Sikorsky.

This is also the reason why the United States is very afraid.

Your performance is better than mine, your price is lower than mine, and your after-sales service is more thoughtful.

Isn't this going to ruin my job?

How could Boeing and Sikorsky accept this kind of thing?

"The design is almost finalized, and the next step is to produce prototypes for testing."

“Finally, after making certain adjustments based on the test results, we can start preparing for mass production.”

"If it goes quickly, everyone will be able to see the first batch of carrier-based heavy transport helicopters by the end of this year."

Although the CH-53 is mainly used as a ship-based heavy transport helicopter, it can also be used on land.

It can be said that its use is wider than that of CH-47.

Of course, with regard to the overall performance of these two helicopters, it is difficult to say which one is better.

The final decision on which one to choose can only be made based on the actual use needs of the respective units.

This kind of happy trouble is left to the user unit to deal with.

"Mr. Cao, the research and development speed of Daystar Technology is so fast. Can the schedule of the new projects we cooperate with be adjusted accordingly?"

Zhao Tianling spoke out his true thoughts while chatting.

The large-scale strategic bomber project developed by both parties to benchmark the United States' B-2 stealth bomber has been officially launched.

This project is led by AVIC and co-developed by Daystar Technology.

According to the current plan, the final design will be finalized next year, and the first prototype will roll off the production line the year after that.

It will be soon to finally start equipping relevant departments in 2017.

According to normal speed, this is already very fast.

But compared with the research and development speed of other products of Daystar Technology, it is a bit unsatisfactory.

That's why Zhao Tianling was thinking about whether Daystar Technology could arrange more teams to jointly develop this project and try to shorten the time by one or two years.

"AVIC has established processes for developing new products, right?"

"We are cooperating in the development of all aspects. It may be difficult to significantly change the schedule."

Cao Yang looked at Zhao Tianling, and there was obviously something in what he said.

Now this project is obviously led by AVIC, and Venus Technology is cooperating.

A product like the B-2 is considered a strategic bomber. Compared with the Skyhawk UAV, which is just a product with a similar appearance to the B-2, the development difficulty is obviously still significantly different.

The meaning of development is also very different.

Normally, AVIC would definitely want to take this kind of project into its own hands, and relevant departments would be more willing for AVIC to develop this type of product.

However, the system of AVIC and Daystar Technology are completely different. There are some advancement steps that no one dares to change easily.

Work is carried out step by step, and even if some problems arise, no one needs to take responsibility.

But if you change the existing process and shorten some time, there will be no problem in the end, and everyone will be happy.

But if something unexpected happens, the person who promoted the change may be held responsible.

At the least, they were criticized and punished one by one, but at the most serious, they were kicked out directly.

In this case, naturally few people are willing to take risks.

Therefore, even if the technical reserves have almost met the requirements, the final development speed will not be particularly fast.

It is obviously impossible within AVIC to develop heavy transport helicopters at the speed of Venus Technology.

As the general manager, Zhao Tianling is well aware of this situation.

He was not stupid, and he naturally understood what Cao Yang said.

However, he couldn't give an immediate reply for the time being. After all, it involved such an important change and he couldn't make the decision alone.

Besides, there are so many people talking now, so it’s not appropriate to talk too much.

"Mr. Cao, I will communicate with you internally about this matter later."

In the end, Zhao Tianling could only end the topic with Cao Yang like this.

The Venus Technology platform is becoming more and more lively.

Many people from the Lion City also came to visit this air show.

Especially the exaggerated way that Venus No. 9 fell from the sky attracted the interest of many viewers.

Tickets for this year's Lion City Airshow have become much tighter.

"Ivanchuk, look at the model displayed by Daystar Technology. Its appearance is exactly the same as our CH-53."

"But they will definitely upgrade the fuselage materials and avionics systems. When the time comes, everyone will think that their products are more advanced than our CH-53."
