Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

So, everyone filed into the conference room. The conference room had been decorated for a long time, and even Fang Lang's seat had a name tag on it. It was obvious that the Air Force Ministry was well prepared for Fang Lang's arrival.

Seeing this scene, Fang Lang could only glance at General Nairo Mora. When he saw the other person, he was still looking at him with a smile on his face and motioned for him to sit down.

Fang Lang could only smile helplessly. Now that he has entered someone else's territory, it is definitely impossible to leave. As the old saying goes, when you are unable to resist, it is better to just lie down and enjoy it. Now Fang Lang

Lang already has this mentality.

He strode directly to the seat where his name was written and sat down. Everyone else smiled slightly when they saw this and found their own seats to sit down.

General Nairo Mora even sat directly next to Fang Lang. After everyone was seated, Chief of Staff of the Air Force Reinhard Gifford stood up first and said some words to welcome Fang Lang's arrival, and soon

Let’s get to the point.

A young officer who looked to be in his early thirties stood up and came to a wall covered by curtains. General Nairo Mora turned his head and whispered to Fang Lang beside him:

】

"This is an officer sent by our Air Force Ministry to Fangyuan Aviation to follow up on the manufacturing of training aircraft. His name is Leo Kanter."

Fang Lang looked at the other party's military rank and saw that he was a major. He nodded and didn't say much. He just looked at the curtains that were being slowly opened.

What he saw behind the curtain was a rendering of an aircraft. With just one glance, Fang Lang recognized this aircraft. It was a new generation training aircraft project designed by his airline, commissioned by the Ministry of Air Force and its own naval aviation.<

/p>

The water-drop-shaped cockpit arranged front and rear above the wing is very eye-catching. As the first independently developed aircraft of his own aircraft manufacturer, Fang Lang certainly attaches great importance to it.

For Mr. Tan Ke, the designer of the fw190 Moxa fighter jet that has already been designed and tested in actual combat, redesigning a propeller trainer aircraft is really a difficult task.

The other party even expressed to Fang Lang many times that it was unwilling to continue designing propeller aircraft and demanded that jet fighters be launched directly. They repeatedly emphasized to Fang Lang that jet aircraft were the future.

Of course, Fang Lang has no doubts about this, but the aircraft manufacturing company of Fangyuan Group has obviously just started, and there is no way or technical strength to directly launch jets.

I could only do ideological work with Mr. Tan Ke earnestly, and after repeated communication, I finally agreed to transform the originally designed piston engine into a more advanced single-shaft turboprop engine.

It not only meets the needs of propeller trainer aircraft, but also actually intervenes in the research work of jet aircraft in advance, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

According to what Fang Lang learned, two prototypes of this aircraft have been assembled in the Fangyuan Group's aircraft laboratory and are in the testing stage. In addition, there are two airframes used for static and fatigue tests.

Ready to assemble.

I just don’t know what the purpose of the Air Force Ministry is today?

While Fang Lang was thinking, Major Leo Kanter had already begun to point a pointer at the aircraft and began to explain.

"According to the latest information we just learned from Fangyuan Group Aircraft Manufacturing Company, the T-1 trainer aircraft we entrusted to design and manufacture has completed the assembly of the prototype.

The aircraft has a wingspan of 11.14 meters, a length of 9.86 meters, a height of 3.40 meters, an aspect ratio of 6.4, a wing area of ​​19.40 square meters, a maximum take-off weight of 3,000 kilograms, a maximum level flight speed of 400 kilometers per hour, and a maximum cruising speed of 386 kilometers.

meters/hour,

The maximum climb rate is 11.3 meters/second, the practical ceiling is 9,000 meters, the take-off run distance is 380 meters, and the landing run distance is 370 meters.

It is equipped with a turboprop engine independently developed by the Power Research Laboratory of Fangyuan Group, with 1,500 shaft horsepower."

When everyone in the conference room heard this pile of data, they all started talking. They were not dissatisfied, but it really exceeded everyone's expectations. General Nairo Mora was even more satisfied. After all, this project was still his proposal.

Developed below.

As the company boss, Fang Lang, of course, looked proud when he heard this. The original move to recruit people from Germany was indeed a good move!

Fang Lang was not surprised at all that this prototype could be successfully manufactured. What really satisfied him was the turboprop engine successfully developed independently by the power research laboratory.

You must know that the successful research and development of this engine means that Fangyuan Group Aircraft Manufacturing Company has the ability to independently manufacture jet engines.

This is of great significance to the future development of the Yuan Group Aircraft Manufacturing Company! It was not in vain that I tried every means to find talents in engine manufacturing from Germany.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but start applauding for my wise decision.

Hearing Fang Lang's applause, the people around him reacted instantly and began to applaud enthusiastically. General Nairo Mora next to him applauded with excitement and patted Fang Lang on the shoulder.

p>

This huge force instantly pulled Fang Lang back from his narcissism. Feeling the force on his shoulders, Fang Lang cursed in his heart, what a broken habit. If you want to take a picture of something when you are happy, you can take a picture of yourself! Why are you taking a picture of me?

?It hurts a lot, you know?

But General Nairo Mora obviously couldn't hear what Fang Lang was thinking at this moment. His entire gaze was deeply attracted by the aircraft drawing on the wall. This was not the first time he had seen this aircraft drawing.

However, every time I see it, I have new feelings, and the more I look at it, the more beautiful it becomes, and the more I look at it, the more I like it. If he were not worried about confidentiality issues, he would like to hang this drawing on his bedside and sleep with him every day.

.

The applause lasted for a while and then slowly stopped. Major Leo Kanter, who was standing to introduce the performance of the aircraft, saw that everyone at home became quiet, and then slowly spoke again:

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Of course, the research and development of the aircraft is not easy and smooth. After these few days of test flights, we have also discovered some problems. We raise them here today because we want to solicit your opinions and see what we need to do in detail.

How to choose."

These words made Fang Lang frown. In the past few days, he had been following up on the destroyer approval issue at the Navy Department, and he really didn't have time to pay attention to the test flight of the aircraft.

Now I heard Major Leo Kanter say that some problems were discovered during the test flight, and I couldn't help but feel worried.

Most of the people present looked at Major Leo Kanter, wanting to know what problem they had discovered. Fang Lang couldn't help but look at General Nairo Mora next to him. This old boy was

Are you waiting for me here?

I don’t know what the specific problems are with the aircraft. I hope it’s not a serious problem that is irreversible and needs to be demolished and started over.

Feeling Fang Lang's gaze, General Nairo Mora didn't have any special expression. He just smiled and approached Fang Lang and whispered:

"Why, I haven't paid attention to this project these days!"

Fang Lang nodded when he heard this. General Nero Mora didn't say much when he saw this, and just continued to whisper:

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem."

Only then did Xia Lang let go of his worries. He couldn't help but think that with Professor Tan Ke's ability, the propeller plane designed should not have any irreparable flaws!

Fang Lang, who wants to understand all this, calms down and waits for the next chapter.

A bearded officer at the table had already impatiently shouted directly to Major Leo Kanter:

"Tell me, what problem did you find?"

When Major Leo Kanter saw this, he stopped trying to keep it secret and said directly:

"After this period of test flights, we found that although this turboprop engine is advanced, its service life is only 150 hours, which means that every 150 hours of use, the aircraft needs to be renovated or the engine replaced.

This will significantly increase our usage costs."

Hearing this, Fang Lang couldn't help but let out a long breath. He thought it was some irreversible big problem! It turned out to be this matter.

This problem had already been reported to him after the power research laboratory successfully researched the core engine of this engine and after the first driving endurance test.

The first core machine at that time only worked for less than fifty hours before its power dropped and required major repairs.

Fang Lang knew very well that this was due to Brazil's insufficient accumulation of basic materials. He was not surprised at all.

When the Germans first invented the jet engine, they encountered the same problem. Finding the problem is not terrible. As long as the problem can be found and solved bit by bit, the problem is no longer a problem, but a step to improve knowledge.

.

Therefore, Fang Lang certainly would not give up. Instead of blaming the researchers, he gave more encouragement, greater support, and more financial investment.

It also authorized the Power Research Laboratory to establish its own materials research center, search for experts in materials science from all over the world, and concentrate on studying new materials seriously.

At the same time, the power research laboratory also dismantled the engine, studied it bit by bit, and continuously improved it. Finally, when the aircraft prototype was assembled, the working time of the engine was extended to 150 hours.

In Fang Lang's view, this is a great progress.

But for the officers of the Air Force, this is indeed a very serious problem. After all, an engine that needs to be overhauled after 150 hours of work does dissatisfy many people who expect it to be durable.

So, everyone started talking about it soon.

"What? The engine can only work for 150 hours before it needs to be overhauled. What will happen if a war breaks out!"

"Yes! The cost of repairing this is not low! This is not possible."

"Is it because the new engine technology is not yet mature?"

"I think their company's strength is not good enough. How about we try purchasing engines from the United States!"

Everyone started talking about each other, and when Fang Lang saw this, he didn't mind. For him, being able to solve the problem now is the greatest success.

You must know that this is a turboprop engine. There are only a handful of countries in the world that can manufacture this kind of engine. As long as you can persist in investing and solve the problem bit by bit, the service life of the engine will be extended bit by bit.
Then the aircraft manufacturing company owned by my family will have the opportunity to become one of the world's aviation manufacturing giants.

General Nairo Mora, who was sitting next to Fang Lang, seemed to be worried that Fang Lang would have any bad thoughts after hearing these discussions. He turned to Fang Lang and said in a low voice:

"General Fang, don't mind, these fools don't understand the benefits of this new type of engine."

Hearing this, Fang Lang turned to look at the other party and said noncommittally:

"It doesn't matter. The technology of this engine is indeed not yet mature. We must accept everyone's opinions realistically.

I don’t know, what do you think, General?

Please rest assured that I am a person who distinguishes between public and private affairs. You don’t need to take my personal relationship with Fangyuan Group to heart. If you have any ideas, please feel free to tell me. I will definitely respect your opinions."
