    "Z-13 shouldn't disappoint those people!"

    Just when the Z-13 rescue helicopter was officially unveiled at the East Timor field airport opened by the United Nations peacekeeping forces, Zhuang Jianye, the deluxe version of the company dedicated to Ning Xiaodong at the Qiongzhou Airlines headquarters, looked expressionlessly out of the floor-to-ceiling window at the surging waves.  There is no reason why I said this about the beautiful sea view.

    Ning Xiaodong, who was making tea, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "When you are installing the machine, you asked the technical team to check it over and over so many times. Why are you worried? What's more, after one verification  The rescue helicopter modified from the aircraft is just for people to see, not really for sale. This time, as long as it can fly five or six sorties back and forth in the ungrateful place of East Timor"

    As he spoke, Ning Xiaodong poured the brewed kung fu tea from the tea cup into the small tea cup, then picked it up and handed it to Zhuang Jianye: "Besides, the officer of the Pakistani peacekeeping force in East Timor who has been fed for a long time  Can't you help me talk to you? With several layers of insurance, what else do you have to worry about?"

    As Ning Xiaodong said, there is really nothing to worry about. Even if the Z-13 rescue helicopter is just a temporarily modified model of a technology verification aircraft of Ascendas Group, there is no need to worry so much.

    Yes, the Z-13 helicopter is not a real confirmed model, but a technology verification model developed by Ascendas Group based on the next generation helicopter.

    The maximum takeoff weight is 6.5 tons, which is between the Z-12 and the Z-15. It is a typical medium-sized helicopter. It is equipped with two wd-44z turboshaft engines, each with a power of 1456 kilowatts. It is matched with a streamlined fuselage, and  With retractable landing gear, the maximum flight speed of the Z-13 helicopter reaches 318 kilometers per hour.

    Even if it carries a maximum load of 2.5 tons, the maximum cruising speed of the Z-13 helicopter can still be maintained at 297 kilometers per hour.

    If only with this slightly higher speed than ordinary helicopters, other performance indicators of the Z-13 helicopter are almost mediocre. Zhuang Jianye is indeed not worried. After all, Ascendas Group is not good in the helicopter field and can guarantee the safety of a helicopter with ordinary performance.  Still no problem.

    "However, I don't know since when, whenever Zhuang Jianye hears the code name Z-13, the heart in his chest feels like it has been stimulated by high-voltage electricity, and it feels inexplicable.

    There is no other reason, just because the Z-13 model has the highest accident rate among all models of Ascendas Group so far.

    Starting from the test flight of the first-generation Z-13 in 1993, in less than five years, Ascendas Group crashed a total of 4 aircraft; scrapped a total of 6 aircraft due to various failures; two test pilots were sacrificed; as for minor repairs,  There are so many supplements that I can¡¯t even count them.

    So much so that the entire z-13 project has become Ascendas Group¡¯s largest gold sales hole and bottomless pit since it entered the 1990s.

    Therefore, it is not without reason that Zhuang Jianye goes around crying about poverty every day. He just keeps crashing planes and scrapping things. In other words, Zhuang Jianye is well managed and has first-class financial skills. If it were anyone else, he would have been tortured to the point of bankruptcy by Zhuang Jianye.

    However, it is such a bottomless pit-like project that both Zhuang Jianye himself and the headquarters authorities attach great importance to it. Instead of giving up due to the huge investment and heavy losses, they have increased investment and support, and will also expand the z-13 project.  It was upgraded to one of the three most mysterious top-level research and development projects of Ascendas Group. It was continuously included in the Eighth and Ninth Five-Year Plans and received strong support and endorsement from the country.

    The reason for this is very simple. The z-13 project is of extraordinary significance.

    Because the full name of the z-13 project is the z-13 high-speed helicopter technology verification project, it aims to develop a high-speed helicopter universal platform with a speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour for the future domestic inland, sea and air forces and civil aviation systems.

    As we all know, due to the unique aerodynamic shape of helicopters, the speed cannot be compared with fixed-wing aircraft. The usual flight speed is generally 240 kilometers per hour. Even the latest fourth-generation helicopter can hardly exceed 320 kilometers per hour.

    Although this speed is faster than ground combat vehicles, it is still not enough for an aviation assault force that emphasizes faster speed. Especially since the future force emphasizes leanness, efficiency, and speed, this requires the first wave of assault forces to not only move  It is fast, can catch surprise, and has strong adaptability to the battlefield.

    As the saying goes, martial arts in the world are only about speed, and it also applies to an air assault platform. If there is an air assault platform that can reach a speed of 420-450 kilometers per hour and can flexibly take off and land vertically, it will be the same for the air assault troops.  A long-distance attack can save half the time compared to today. By then, both the tactical flexibility, the suddenness of the battle, and the strategic shock will be doubled.

    Based on this, countries around the world have summarized the Cold War period after the Cold War, especially the Soviet military¡¯s combat experience in Afghanistan and the US military¡¯s experience in the Gulf War.Among them, the actual combat models of the Air Assault Division have come up with plans to inform the development of helicopters.

    The aim is to be able to equip one or several high-speed helicopters before the 2010s, thereby making the air assault forces focused on by various countries faster and harder!

    In this regard, the United States and Europe are unique and are at the forefront of the world; Russia follows closely behind and also launches a variety of plans. Naturally, the country does not want to miss this major change that may subvert the helicopter technology landscape. However, at that time, the country was undergoing  Due to the reform of state-owned enterprises and the adjustment of industrial structure, all helicopter production plants have been laid off and diverted to solve the problem that they are exhausted from employment and have no time to engage in technology research and development.

    As a result, Zhuang Jianye took over what was considered a "thankless" task in the industry and became the main contractor for the Z-13 high-speed helicopter verification project.  Like a flying airplane, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

    The reason for this is very simple. Zhuang Jianye firmly believes that high-speed helicopters must be the future of the helicopter field. If Ascendas Group wants to break the shackles and shackles of the current domestic and even international helicopter field, it can only follow the old path of the past.  Instead of eating scraps later, it is better to give it a try and find another way to overtake in a roundabout way.

    Aren¡¯t those friends and businessmen cherishing the existing helicopter technology and thinking that outsiders can¡¯t enter this industry that relies on experience?

    "Then Ascendas Group will not enter, and just skip two generations to develop high-speed helicopters. Once successful, then Ascendas Group will be a new generation giant; if it fails, the worst case will be one more failure case in university textbooks.

    What's more, Zhuang Jianye doesn't believe that Ascendas Group's bet will fail this time. The reason is very simple. The American Bell Company's XV-15 tilt-rotor aircraft has been recognized by the US military, and based on this, the V-22 tilt-rotor aircraft has been developed.  .

    With such a gem in front of us, how can the Z-13max tilt-rotor aircraft produced by Ascendas Group, which was trying to cross the river by touching the Americans, hit the street?
