Chapter 144 Automation Equipment
Although there are all kinds of slanders in my heart for Zhuang Jianye's new routine, I was indeed shocked.
You must know that not long ago, the Lukásk complex was going to sell the pilot's helmet weighed more than 2.5 kilograms, and according to the optional equipment, the weight will be increased, the highest top version, the new generation of pilot's helmet that claims to be able to kill enemy aircraft with eyes, weighs as much as 2.84 kilograms.
At that time, Lao Mou brought it up to be no different from putting on top an iron bump.
The problem is that the equipment in such a heavy thing does not really have the ability to point where to hit as advertised by the Lukásk complex, at most it has a slight improvement in recognition accuracy compared to the pilot's helmet used in the original Su-27 fighter, which increases the hit probability of the R-73 air-to-air combat projectile by a few percentage points.
As for the subversive ability preached by the Lukásk complex, Lao Mou didn't notice it at all, and he almost didn't break his neck after flying for more than ten minutes with a 2.84-kilogram helmet.
The performance has not improved much, but the weight has increased exponentially, which shows that the Lukásk complex has clearly fallen behind the times in terms of materials, microelectronics and system integration.
In comparison, Tengfei Group's "sniper" helmet is completely another plane of existence, although Lao Mu was far away before, but he can also see that the "sniper" helmet integrates a lot of things on flight elements compared to ordinary pilot helmets.
Therefore, it has gone far beyond simple target indication and has developed towards multi-functional integrated display.
But just this alone threw a hundred and eight thousand miles of similar products of the Lukásk complex.
Because of this, Lao Mou feels that it doesn't hurt that such a helmet is a little heavier, after all, there are so many things integrated, and the Russians can make the weight of the helmet fly with a little more precision, and it is normal for them to be embedded in their own things, resulting in excessive weight.
After all, it is an experimental helmet, and there is still a long way to go before it is officially finalized, so at least there must be room for improvement.
Therefore, when Lao Mou stepped forward to experience, he had already relaxed the evaluation criteria for the "sniper" pilot helmet in his heart, even if it was as high as 10 kilograms, as long as the performance of the display was excellent, and the basic situation such as the entire visual mode and target display was in line with the future tactical development direction, then he Lao Mou would raise his hands to support, after all, what represents the future can quickly have some flaws at this stage.
As a result, after Lao Mou took the helmet of the "sniper" pilot in his hand, he found that it was not only much lower than the weight of the product of the Lukask complex, but also better than the best result he expected.
However, with 2.05 kilograms, so many things are integrated, and it can still be maintained at this weight level, it is clear that Tengfei Group has put a lot of effort into this.
So Lao Mu completely ignored Zhuang Jianye's brand-new 13 routines, held up his helmet and asked, "How did you do it?"
"It's a shame to say that we originally wanted to use Kevlar as the main material of the helmet, but unfortunately the weight of this material is too large, so we have no choice but to use the T800 carbon fiber composite material as the main material, so that the weight of the whole helmet is controlled at 0.64 kg without pretending to be other electronic equipment. ”
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
As soon as Zhuang Jianye finished speaking, before Lao Mu could speak, the leader of the Academy of Military Sciences on the other side shook his head like a rattle: "T800 carbon fiber is indeed the project material of lightweight flight helmets in terms of material and characteristics, and the problem is that with the amount of this helmet, I want to control it at 0.64 kg ......."
Saying that, the leader of the Academy of Military Sciences shook his head again: "It's simply impossible." ”
"I said Lao Wei, the facts are in front of you, why is it impossible?" Without waiting for Zhuang Jianye to speak, Lao Mu quit, and he knew the weight of the helmet in his hand more than anyone else.
The optical equipment, electronic equipment, and lines and cables inside are fixed, and even some things are difficult to reduce even if they want to, such as optical equipment, there are only a few kinds of optical materials that can meet the multi-task attributes, and it can only be said that in order to reduce weight, the optical equipment will be thinned as much as possible, which will not change much in essence.
The same is true for integrated circuits and cables, so only the largest proportion of helmets themselves can be replaced with other lightweight materials.
Lao Mu is not engaged in technology, but he is a real old pilot, and he still knows the doorway very well, so he doesn't need Zhuang Jianye to explain, he will block it here.
Lao Wei was not polite, took the helmet from Lao Mou's hand, checked it, looked at it again, and then shook his head: "The overall weight may be more than 2 kilograms, but I still don't believe that the helmet itself is only 0.64 kilograms, you must know that our Academy of Military Sciences is responsible for part of the imitation of pilots' helmets in the localization of Su-27."
In order to reduce the weight, we tried a variety of materials, one of the important directions is the T800 carbon fiber composite solution, but we have achieved a best result of 0.8 kg after layers of control and process improvement, and can maintain it at about 1.2 kg under normal circumstances. ”
As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at Lao Mou: "That was done in the best laboratory of our Academy of Military Sciences in China, you Lao Mou won't not believe in our strength, right?"
"This ......"
Now Lao Mu has nothing to say, the Academy of Military Sciences is the strongest technical strength in the whole army, and the source of many high-tech equipment in the army originated from the Academy of Military Sciences, and even such a place can only make the best results of 0.8 kilograms, how can Tengfei Group make 0.64 kilograms of similar products?
You must know that Tengfei Group's value is 20% lower than Lao Wei's best result.
A full 20%, which is an astronomical amount for aviation supporting equipment that will have a significant impact on plus or minus 1%.
The people present, including the head of the headquarters, were not fools, and they knew very well what was at stake, so they all looked at Zhuang Jianye to see how the helmsman of Tengfei Group should explain.
Zhuang Jianye was not alarmed by Lao Wei's questioning, but asked Lao Wei: "Chief Wei, did you make the 0.8 kg pilot helmet by hand?"
Lao Wei nodded: "Yes, we have been using this process, and it is also the most common and mature carbon fiber composite material integral molding process at home and abroad." ”
As he spoke, Lao Wei unconsciously straightened up, and at the same time his expression became quite proud: "However, with our unremitting efforts, we have optimized the mold of the process, the selection of epoxy resin, the environmental control during application, and the temperature and time of hot pressure curing, which has a 0.8 kg achievement, which has been among the top in the world based on the current public data at home and abroad." ”
"Then why don't you try the automation equipment?" Zhuang Jianye asked puzzled.
"Do you mean ATL, carbon fiber composite automatic tape laying machine? This kind of equipment is really good, the problem is that ATL can only be used for general flat laying ......"
"No, no, Chief Wei, I'm not talking about ATL, but AFP that can be used for complex curved carbon fiber laying. Without waiting for Lao Wei to finish speaking, Zhuang Jianye shook his head.
"I said Xiaozhuang, there is no AFP in China, so ...... Wait......"
Listening to Zhuang Jianye's words, Lao Wei smiled, feeling that the junior in front of him was still too young, and he had to mention a few words, but as soon as his words came out, he realized that something was wrong, and immediately looked at the helmet in his hand, then at Zhuang Jianye, and asked with a glare: "You guys...... You guys...... You don't already have an AFP?"
