Chapter 824 `Sparrow` Double-axis Sparrow Helicopter

Baidoa City, Aviation Industrial Park.

Li Mo and Minister of Defense Palermo are inspecting here to participate in the Abu Dhabi International Defense Exhibition.

Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, is the Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition. It is the largest weapons exhibition in the Middle East. Since its opening in 1993, it has been held every two years, with the participation of dozens of countries and hundreds of defense companies from all over the world. The transaction volume is also increasing year by year. At the last defense exhibition, A turnover of $7 billion was reached.

Compared with the European Defense Exhibition, the Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition is more popular with international defense companies and buyers. In addition to the fact that the European Defense Exhibition is not open to the public, it is also related to the location of the Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition and the organizer.

Not all people are keen to go to the center of the Western world to 'watch' the military technology products of the Western world.

This may be just a psychological factor, but it is undeniable that many people have such a subconscious.

However, the defense exhibition is a platform for the exhibition of military technology products, while the western military technology is indeed very advanced and powerful, so every time the defense exhibition is held, the front of the booth of the Western defense company is still the most lively place.

In this Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition, Star Group has also obtained the consent of the organizers to bring Star Group's military products to the exhibition. Li Mo attached great importance to this matter and immediately ordered the company's senior management to go all out to prepare the products for the exhibition.

Unlike other defense companies and military enterprises directly under the state, Xingchen Group is Li Mo's private company and does not need to be subject to the 'technology export constraints' of the political axe department. Therefore, in this defense exhibition, the products exhibited by Xingchen Group only need Li Mo's consent, so any advanced technical products can participate.

The International Defense Exhibition is not only a platform to display military technology products, but also a symbol of a company and a country's advanced military technology. It can be said that this is a grand event among all defense companies. It is famous at the defense exhibition, which is also a very beneficial publicity for the company. It would be better if you were lucky enough to reach several order contracts at the defense exhibition.

In the airline's conference hall, Li Mo and Palermo listened to reports from the relevant departments of the company, mainly the achievements of Star Group from last year to the beginning of this year. The most important thing is the breakthrough in technology and the transformation of technology into the results of application.

"Do you have any new products for our exhibition this time?" After listening to some of Anli's reports on the defense exhibition, Li Mo couldn't help asking with a smile.

The industrial park is currently the largest R&D center of Xingchen Group, with more than 3,800 engineers working all night in more than 40 research institutes. With the accumulation of technology and the technical knowledge carried by foreign experts, the technical strength of the industrial park has been considerable, especially in aviation power, materials science and light. Several aspects of electrical technology have almost reached the world's advanced level. Although the outside world knows almost nothing about it and no decent products are famous in the world, it is not made public because of the need to be kept confidential.

In the Camel Mountain base, there is the mysterious 'No. 9 Laboratory'. In the 'No. 9 Lab', half of the members of the comet group work there, and the top experts in some fields recruited will be secretly sent there after strict examination, specializing in the study of the two suspected fields. Fragments of star material. The benefits obtained are not only in materials science, but also to infer part of the development and thinking of 'alien' technology through the study of 'alien materials', which will bring unimaginable benefits to their own researchers.

A research institute, you can say that this is a small research system, a country's overall scientific research department, you can talk about a large-scale scientific research system, and a science and technology on earth is a complete scientific system. As a member of a 'complete scientific system', if it can get part of the research and design concept of another more complete and advanced scientific system, then the scientific research department of Star Group has reached the forefront of the world in some aspects.

Communication is beneficial to development. Why do we need to 'see the world' and 'international standards' now? The purpose is to learn from each other's strengths and prevent self-importation from affecting the improvement of one's own ability.

A person's thinking is limited. In the eyes of 10,000 people, the thinking of a hundred people is also limited, and the scientific research system of an earth, in the eyes of aliens, also has limitations and shortcomings.

The Star Group, which has a chance to break through this limitation and 'cage', is inevitable that it will shine as long as it is not destroyed.

Behind the escort of the Gulf of Aden, it is also very possible that other countries have also seen this opportunity to communicate with 'aliens' and break through their own limitations.

Colonel Anli looked at a staff member when he heard the words. Soon, the light in the conference hall dimmed, and a beam of light hit a white wall.

In the slide, a pair of color photos come into everyone's eyes. In the photo, there is a helicopter stationed on the cement floor.

Li Mo and Palermo narrowed their eyes in order to make themselves see more clearly.

Yes, the photo shows a helicopter, and it's a helicopter they've never seen before. The appearance of this helicopter is quite strange, which is very different from everyone's impression of the helicopter.

First of all, this helicopter looks very small. After comparing with some references in the background of the photo, Li Mo found that the captain of the helicopter was only seven meters at most, less than half of the Mi-24 helicopter. With a height of less than 3 meters, it doesn't look like the 's slender' beauty of a helicopter at all, but gives people a feeling of short and fat.

Secondly, the propellers of this helicopter are different. The traditional helicopters are single-propeller helicopters, while the Russian card series helicopters are co-axis double-propeller helicopters and co-axis double-propeller helicopters, which have always been Russian patents. Now political axes and helicopter companies in various countries are also stepping up research in related fields, because Although the shaft double-spin helicopter has many shortcomings, the advantage is also obvious, that is, the use of co-axis double-spin can provide a larger and more stable lift for the aircraft, which can reduce the outer profile of the helicopter and reduce the probability of being hit. The small helicopter in the slide is a double-axle that Li Mo has never seen before.

In fact, Li Mo is not clear that the double-axis double-axle helicopter has long appeared, such as the HH-43 cross-axis double-axle helicopter in the United States, and even the Fi-185 double-axle helicopter in Germany in 1936.

But this helicopter is a little different from the double-axle helicopter that appeared in the past. It also looks like two pulps, but it is not connected in parallel, but one after the other, just like the kind of helicopter with a tail paddle, but the second slurry is not the tail propeller, but is located at the junction of the cabin and the tail, and The same size as the main pulp.

"This helicopter is the first product developed by the company. Its internal code name is SZ-01. We call it 'Sparrow'. It is a double-axis double-sjiang small attack helicopter. The length is 7.38 meters, the height is 3.66 meters, the air weight is 1826 kg, the maximum take-off weight is 2,302 kg, the maximum cruising speed is 280 kilometers, the maximum flat speed is 436 kilometers, and the range is 580 kilometers. It can carry two 'Starfire' anti-tank missiles (imitating AT-6), and the main combat targets are local armored weapons and ground fortifications... The 'Sparrow' helicopter uses two SD-Z1 turboshaft engines independently developed by us, with a single power of 1,200 horsepower. The fuselage is made of ultra-hardness new aluminum alloy material. Under and around the cockpit, the main fuel tank and around the engine are equipped with silicon-uranium alloy composite armor for enhanced armor protection. The fuselage itself also uses some stealth designs and is sprayed with self-developed second-generation stealth paint, which makes the aircraft radar reflective surface. The volume has been reduced by 85%..."

The person responsible for the introduction is Abiq, the head of the R&D department, an engineer from Afghanistan, who is now a prominent figure in the Star Group. The head of the scientific research department is one of the few people who know the scientific research strength of Star Group.

Li Mo has recorded a few data on the notebook and has analyzed the military use of this 'sparrow' helicopter, which is specially used for anti-armor aircraft like the Golden Eagle attack aircraft. Moreover, compared with the Golden Eagle attack aircraft, the Sparrow helicopter has many new advantages. For example, new stealth paint, new design thinking, etc.

Moreover, this kind of aircraft is small in size, but extremely fast, with a maximum speed of 436 kilometers. This is 120 kilometers faster than the current 'King of Helicopter' Longbow Apache.

The Sparrow helicopter only needs one person to do it. The weapon is two anti-tank missiles and a 12.7mm machine gun. It seems to have extremely small firepower, but as a front-line tactical attack helicopter, its high-speed surname can be conducive to performing some special tasks, which is not suitable for long-distance tactical airborne and deep defense. However, it is suitable for short-range raids and rapid evacuation.

"The focus of our design of this helicopter is to protect the last name. That is to say, the survival ability of helicopters and pilots comes first, which is in line with the current development goals of military products. Stealth coating, the small fuselage is to reduce the hit rate, and the cockpit and mailbox are reinforced with composite armor, which improves the driver's survivability. The biggest design feature is on this double-axis double paddle. In our design and experiments, the two engines, after one is destroyed, the other can also provide enough power and lift to ensure that the plane will not fall due to the destruction of one engine within a distance of 50 kilometers. The design of modern helicopters basically subtracts the tail sjiang, or increases the tail sjiang protection, because in the war in Afghanistan, more than 30% of the helicopters lost by the former Soviet Union were crashed because the tail sjiang was hit. But we paid attention to this problem and solved it. This can be said to be a major advantage of the 'Sparrow' helicopter. I believe that once this helicopter is launched, it will definitely cause a sensation.

Abik was very excited to continue to explain the characteristics of the helicopter and gave a good description of the future of the helicopter.
