Zhang Hong shook his head, looked at Zhou Hai, picked up a brand-new and white document from the desktop, and read out the content: "The board of directors of AVIC Hongfei Group has decided to give Comrade Zhou Hai a special reward of 200,000 yuan in cash and a banner. Duo, I hope you don’t mind, the specific implementation of the reward will be held at the commendation meeting held for you.”
The words fell, and there was a hint of apology in the words.
200,000 yuan in cash was the amount decided by Hongfei's senior management after much deliberation. Compared to the value of the flight data, this amount of money was indeed not much, but there was nothing we could do.
Don't give too much, don't dare to give too much.
A banner is a standard honorary award.
"I don't mind, it's good to have a reward." Zhou Hai was a little surprised when he heard the contents of the document read by Zhang Hong, shook his head slightly, and said seriously.
Money, more or less is everyone's business.
Reward is enough, how can you ask for more?
You know, at that time, Zhou Hai thought he would be permanently grounded, but reality made a big joke for him. Not only could he fly, but the army would also reward him with first-class merit. Now he has received cash and cash from the Hongfei Group. Honorary award, and thanks to Zhang Hong and the L-15C Falcon design team.
Moreover, the 200,000 cash reward is already an astronomical sum for ordinary families.
There are some things that money cannot compare to.
"Comrade Zhou Hai, I like your character very much. If you have anything to do in the future, you can come to Hong Fei and tell me Zhang Hong's name directly. You have almost exceeded the performance limit of the new Falcon this time, and you have provided great support to our Hong Fei and the entire team. It’s been a great help, thank you very much.”
Zhang Hong showed a hearty smile, pushed up his old-fashioned black glasses with his nose slightly lowered, and asked: "As an aside, what do you think of the Falcon? Aircraft performance, maneuverability, control, human-machine Controls, etc., can be evaluated.”
Absorbing user reviews and opinions, then giving feedback, following objective facts, and optimizing its own products are issues that any company pays special attention to.
This is even more true for the highly sophisticated AVIC Hongfei Group.
Now, Zhang Hong wanted to hear the evaluation of Zhou Hai, a student pilot. Among the entire Air Force system, he believed that only Zhou Hai had a comprehensive and complete evaluation of the L-15C Falcon, the latest hunting suit in service.
"Chief Commander, if you want to listen to the evaluation, I can only praise it. I have not flown the original Falcon so I can't comment. I have flown the latest Falcon for 49 hours. Although it is not much, the L-15C can be said to be very good. Excellent, close to perfect, let’s talk about the most important engine first.”
After hearing Zhang Hong's inquiry, Zhou Hai pondered for a while, gathered his thoughts, and said slowly: "The Minshan engine has stable and reliable performance, and is highly economical. A single engine has a thrust of 4750 kilograms and can provide afterburner, which is in line with Falcon Higher Education's requirements for primary school students. The performance indicators of the thrust turbofan engine and replacing them with domestically produced engines will improve the maneuverability and comprehensive flight performance of the new Falcon to a new level without worrying about foreign choke points."
The aviation turbofan engine is the most important part of the aircraft - the source of power. It is known as the 'Flower of Industry'.
There has been a saying in the aviation industry that as long as the engine is powerful, bricks can fly into the sky.
The most outstanding thing about the L-15C Falcon is the two ws-17 'Minshan' turbofan engines with further optimized performance, which have an afterburner mode to make up for the shortcomings of the original Falcon model.
"Zhou Hai, don't be afraid that I will be angry. Come here to criticize the taste. No need to praise." Hearing Zhou Hai's praise, Zhang Hong shook his head slightly and said bluntly: "I think it is still lacking and cannot bear the multi-purpose blow." Task."
He had heard the words of praise so many times that his ears almost grew calluses.
Zhang Hong just wants to find out the shortcomings and problems of the L-15 Falcon, so as to further improve the flight performance and optimize the Falcon.
"Strike mission? Chief Commander, with all due respect, you may have a certain degree of deviation in the definition of Falcon. In terms of performance, the L-15C Falcon is already very good and meets the purpose and definition of a high-education aircraft. However, the Falcon exists innately. Limitations, if you want the Falcon to undertake multi-purpose strike missions like an authentic third-generation aircraft, it is not realistic."
Zhou Hai stared at Zhang Hong, thought for a while, and expressed his inner thoughts: "If there is a shortcoming, maybe it should only be the price. I believe you are aware of this shortcoming, and I don't have any special comments."
price!
This is the current shortcoming of the L-15 Falcon high-education aircraft. After solving the core engine problem, the main reason is that the price is too high and the cost-effectiveness for export and foreign trade is low.
The price of an internal version of the L-15C is about 10 million U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to more than 60 million yuan, which is about one-third of the bare metal price of the J-10a.
As for the price of the foreign trade version, God knows what the price will be. After all, the price of high-grade aviation equipment has always been high.
For export and foreign trade, it is too difficult to enter the European and American markets. The only option is to target small and medium-sized markets. However, sellers in small and medium-sized markets lack funds and strength, and the L-15 Falcon, which has world-class performance, is expensive and therefore not cost-effective.
After all, this is just a high-education aircraft, not a genuine third-generation fighter.
Moreover, purchasing a fighter jet is not a one-time deal. When it is used again, follow-up technical maintenance, replacement of lost parts, fuel costs, etc. are another larger comprehensive expense.
For small and medium-sized sellers, instead of buying a delicate ancestor to support, the K-8 advanced trainer aircraft with extremely high cost performance is more practical.
The K-8 trainer aircraft produced by Hongfei once dominated the international mid-range high-end trainer aircraft market, accounting for 70% of the market share. Like the JJ6, it is sold all over the world.
"Nothing else?"
Zhang Hong sighed softly, a look of disappointment flashed across his eyes, and asked.
To be honest, he has heard what Zhou Hai talked about countless times.
"Chief Commander, I actually think that in your heart, you would rather personally design a third-generation or even fourth-generation advanced fighter jet than a high-education aircraft, right?" Looking at the somewhat disappointed Zhang Hong, Zhou Hai made a little analysis , the mind is thoughtful, the voice is as gentle as a trickle, moistening things silently.
Zhang Hong was stunned for a moment after hearing these words, his eyes glowed sharply and he stared at Zhou Hai.
"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. This sentence can be applied to any industry. I believe that anyone who is an aircraft designer has the dream of designing a fighter jet."
Seeing Zhang Hong concentrating, Zhou Hai felt happy and continued to drink chicken soup: "Maybe you can try..."
dream!
This is one of the sources of motivation for human progress and the most attractive attribute of chicken soup.
"Stop, stop talking, you almost fooled me."
Zhang Hong was dumbfounded, shook his head, took out a plastic business card from his pocket, and handed it to Zhou Hai: "Comrade Zhou Hai, thank you for your evaluation. This is my business card. Hong Fei will always welcome you."
ps: There are people watching the World Cup all around, and I feel desperate in my heart. I want to see if I can catch up with the fourth update.
