Chapter 815: Uninvited Guest
Wu Ping didn't say anything big because the other party was a foreigner and had a good face, he was indeed telling the truth.
You must know that TY-6 is fundamentally different from Tengfei Group's previous TY-2 series and Wuzhi 8 series, first of all, the platform is large.
Overall length: 10.26 meters.
Wingspan: 31.82 metres.
Height: 4.47 meters.
Empty weight: 2860 kg.
Total load: 2600 kg.
The nose equipment bay can carry 900 kg of modular electronics, the fuel tanks on the sides of the wings and the central wing box can carry 1,000 kg of fuel, and the four multi-function pylons under the wing can carry 700 kg of additional equipment.
And according to the needs of the task performed, in the three load positions can be flexibly adjusted, for example, the TY-6 is now performing the communication support task, if you need to add a larger range of communication support equipment, you can reduce the unnecessary equipment in the nose equipment compartment, while reducing the total amount of fuel carried, so as to add an external GSM communication base station pod on the other two multi-functional pylons.
Meteorological research, coastal searches, disaster assessments, forest fire prevention, route inquiries, and even purely military ammunition carrying are not a problem.
Of course, Zhuang Jianye has always scoffed at the latter behavior, even if the TY-6 can carry a variety of air-to-surface missiles, laser-guided bombs, television-guided bombs, ordinary aerial bombs and even aviation rocket nests with a total weight of 1.2 tons.
After all, the TY-6 is equipped with a very mature WD-42SM turbofan engine of Tengfei Group, with a maximum thrust of 3203 kg, a total weight of 725 kg, and a thrust-to-weight ratio of 4.41.
For an aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of more than 5 tons, the power of the WD-42SM turbofan engine is surging enough, with a flat streamlined layout, the back treatment of the integrated engine compartment, derived from the wing-body fusion technology of the Jianjiao 7MAX, and the sci-fi layout of the "V" vertical tail and supercritical wing that Tengfei Group has been insisting on on the UAV since the mid-eighties.
The maximum flight speed of the TY-6 exceeds 660 kilometers \\ hour, the practical ceiling reaches 15,000 meters, the theoretical range is 12,000 kilometers, and the stay time is more than 18 hours.
No matter from which aspect, TY-6 is the world's leading large UAV platform, and because of this, Zhuang Jianye has always believed that TY-6 is an important product to promote world peace, so there is always a small tangle for its militarized alternative use, after all, Tengfei Group is a conscientious enterprise that promotes human development, how can it sell weapons that kill people?
Of course, if the buyer takes it back and sends it to the battlefield under the banner of buying civilian products, then Zhuang Jianye can't do it, and the kitchen knife can still cut people, is it because this doesn't let the people buy it to cook and cook?
It doesn't make sense.
Tengfei Group is the same, the customer who comes to buy things is God, that is Dad, since it has been guaranteed to buy back the products for the civilian field, Tengfei Group of course can not get to the bottom of the matter, no matter how to say that Tengfei Group is a small enterprise struggling to survive, and it is not a strong department such as CIA and KBG, which is really more than enough and not enough.
Just like the Chujiao 6pro sold to Myanmar some time ago, the agreement has made it clear that the aircraft delivered in the past is limited to pilot training and promotes the development of Myanmar's national aviation industry.
As a result, at the beginning of the month, the Burmese Air Force had just received three planes, and they could not wait to load machine gun pods and aerial bombs with the army units to suppress the rebels.
Zhuang Jianye is very helpless, but what can be done?
The contract has been signed, can you still play a trick and not continue to deliver? The business did not do this, so Tengfei Group can only face MMP and be happy in his heart...... Phew, is more MMP delivered as soon as possible.
Between the lessons of the first 6pro, Zhuang Jianye simply modified the formatting agreement of Tengfei Group, which boils down to one sentence, Tengfei Group always sells civilian products, but customers use these civilian products for military purposes, it has nothing to do with Tengfei Group, because this is not the subjective behavior of Tengfei Group.
So the maximum bomb load reached 1.2 tons, which is equivalent to the level of the early attack aircraft, and the high-performance TY-6 large UAV platform can be bought and modified by whom, to be honest, including Zhuang Jianye, the entire Tengfei Group is quite looking forward to it.
Of course, although the TY-6 is good, it also has obvious flaws, that is, the coverage of domestic communication satellites is too small to achieve localized global deployment.
Therefore, if other countries want to buy, they can only choose to install civil service components for foreign communication satellites, which not only need to pay high satellite service fees for foreign satellite management companies, but also are not ideal in terms of communication distance, control accuracy and confidentiality.
Otherwise, the range of the TY-6 would not have been marked as a theoretical 12,000 km.
Because with the support of inefficient satellites, the TY-6 simply cannot fly that far.
China will naturally not use such inferior foreign satellite communication components, compared with the early eighties when Tengfei Group initially produced large UAVs, the development of China in the aerospace field can be said to be making rapid progress.
Since 1986, the Dongfanghong-2 communication satellite has been put into practical deployment, and in the following years, several geostationary orbit communication satellites of the same type have been put into service one after another, plus several Zhongxing series civil communication satellites purchased from abroad, and the local satellite communication network in China and even in the Asia-Pacific region has been initially built.
Thanks to the completion of this satellite network, the communication and control system of TY-6 can completely get rid of the control of foreign products, so that TY-6 has substantially improved transmission speed, reliability, cost performance and most importantly, confidentiality.
It's just that these benefits can only be effective in the country, and there is no way, who makes the domestic satellite communication network not achieve the same global coverage as the United States, can only rely on it first.
But even so, it is much better than a few years ago, at least today's TY-6 can fly out of the interior and circle the offshore sea, unlike a few years ago, when it left the mainland and could not find the north like a headless fly.
Of course, Wu Ping could not explain the specific performance of these TY-6 to Christina on the phone, and the famous left-wing virgin in Europe, who likes to insist on her own opinions, could not accept that China really had such strength even after listening to Wu Ping's explanation.
It's as if she was surprised when she saw a Chinese person because they didn't have braids, because that was a brand rooted in her soul, and it was not something that could be changed by seeing something or hearing something.
However, even if Christina wanted to listen patiently to Wu Ping, she didn't have the heart to do so, because at this moment, he actually saw an uninvited guest approaching Linhai from the screen, so he hurriedly dropped a sentence: "I found a new situation here, and I will contact you later." ”
After speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.
Christina, who has been aroused by curiosity, still has a lot of questions to ask, Wu Ping actually hung up like this, that kind of pants are taken off, and the MMP sense of seeing this immediately spreads to the whole world.
But before she could complain, the satellite phone in her hand suddenly rang, Christina hurriedly picked it up, and heard the arrogant and indifferent voice of a foreign country: "Dear lady, I am Steve Cole, a lieutenant colonel of the coast guard of a foreign country, please please inform me of the exact coordinates of your location, and we will send a plane to rescue ......"
