Chapter 417: Upper Wing

Zhuang Jianye's words are called a heroic spirit that does not hesitate and goes to death generously when he has an order, and he is even more happy in his heart, the Air Force has established a project, and the model is Yun 6.

What is this? A proper legal birth permit.

Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation wants to enter the field of manned aircraft, and the biggest obstacle is not technology, not personnel, not space and funds, but the legal access of superiors.

After all, aviation aircraft are different from refrigerators and washing machines, and they can be taken down with a little application, and things that can go to the sky are very important in any country, and the approval of qualifications is very strict.

Zhuang Jianye did not want to take the regular road at the beginning, so he proposed to the higher ministries and commissions to ask Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation to produce manned aerial vehicles.

However, in the overall layout of the domestic aviation industry outlined by the ministries and commissions, Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation is positioned as a pilot reform for the development and production of advanced unmanned aerial vehicles and aerospace special equipment.

Because of this, Zhuang Jianye's application cannot be said to be rejected, but it is not so positive.

In addition, the establishment of the new model project involves a lot of preliminary demonstration, expert review, feasibility assessment and so on, not to mention the trouble, it takes a long time.

While continuing to apply, Zhuang Jianye simply conducted theoretical verification research on the old model of the Y-5 aircraft for the purpose of scientific research.

Anyway, the aircraft provided by the Donggui factory doesn't even have an engine, and the Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation happens to have a turboprop engine at hand.

As a result, the Aviation Manufacturing Corporation took advantage of such a lame reason to launch the development project of the improved Y-5.

There is no opinion on this ministry, the old model, the technical level is not high, and the aviation manufacturing corporation can toss where it can go, so it will turn a blind eye, as for the funds, technology, equipment, production, the ministry and commission in addition to providing a small part of the planned subsidies for scientific research, the vast majority of them are borne by the aviation manufacturing corporation.

But even so, the Aviation Manufacturing Corporation still did not jump out of the rules and regulations of the improved Yun-5, even if the fuselage was changed to even the mother of the old Yun-5 was almost unknown, but the classic wing-wing design was still retained, no way, was it still Yun-5 if it was removed?

Even if you come to the flight test center to do the static test of the aircraft, it is under the guise of scientific research.

According to Zhuang Jianye's original plan, after the completion of some ground tests and test flights, he will use the air team under the head office to carry out several air transport missions of a display nature in the north and south of the sky in the border region, so as to accumulate some reputation and use the contacts of the media and civil aviation to operate.

Then get an official model of Yun 5C or Yun 5D from the ministry, and Zhuang Jianye's purpose of getting on the bus first and then making up the ticket has been achieved.

As for how many orders can be obtained in the border areas and Tibetan areas, Zhuang Jianye really did not think about it carefully, after all, this improved Y-5 is only a breakthrough for the Aviation Manufacturing Corporation to enter the manned aerial vehicle, and a series of improvements in the future are indispensable.

After all, the biplane is not bad at medium and low altitudes, but the adaptability at high altitudes is not very good, so the profit growth point of the aviation manufacturing corporation in manned aircraft should naturally be placed on the second-generation or even third-generation aircraft of the improved Y-5.

Such a layout is also in line with the law of development of the aviation manufacturing industry, after all, in the aircraft high profits at the same time, but also means the early stage of high investment and long cycle, the first involved in manned aircraft Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation of course also wants to debut that is the peak, but the probability shows that the vast majority of aviation manufacturing enterprises still rely on the accumulation of thick and thin.

Therefore, Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation is also ready to take one step at a time in this regard.

But I didn't think that the low-key Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation, but its strength did not allow it, and the application of a new technology suitable for plateau flight directly attracted the attention of the troops.

This is tantamount to saying that the superior has recognized the development and production capacity of Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation in manned aircraft, and the qualifications and approvals that were previously stopped in front of Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation are not a problem.

With this good thing, if Zhuang Jianye doesn't agree, his head will be kicked by a donkey.

Zhuang Jianye was very happy here, and the air force was not ambiguous; because it was equipment urgently needed by the troops, everything was a special matter, and soon an expert group composed of the air force and ministries and commissions conducted inspections and investigations at the Grain Aircraft Test Center and the Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation.

After fully understanding the performance and body test data of the Y-6, based on the high degree of affirmation of the Y-6, a lot of feasible improvement suggestions were also given.

Half a month later, the Air Force and the ministries and commissions jointly reported to the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, and then the National Defense Science and Technology Commission issued a technical task statement for the Y-6 light transport aircraft to the Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation based on the research of the expert group, and the Y-6 project was officially approved.

To this end, the Air Force contributed 10 million yuan, the ministries and commissions contributed 10 million yuan, and the National Defense Science and Technology Commission provided 10 million yuan of special funds, a total of 30 million yuan as the research and development funds of the Y-6 project, which were remitted to the account of Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation.

Just when the superior went through the project approval procedure, Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation had already invested in the Yun-6 improvement project.

Originally, Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation has accumulated a lot of experience in design, coupled with the cooperation with Ding Laixiang and other professors of Xihang University over the years, and has accumulated a large number of wind tunnel test data, so the follow-up improved Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation has already prepared.

Originally, I wanted to wait for the "ticket to be made" before taking it out, but now I don't have to worry about getting on the bus first, so I naturally don't have so many scruples, so I quickly set a set of several sets of plans with the highest feasibility.

Subsequently, a group of veteran aviation experts such as Ding Laixiang, Wu Changcheng, Professor Sun, and Researcher Qian carried out a series of optimizations on Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation, making the design scheme of Xinyun 6 more mature and reliable.

The plan is determined, the production and manufacturing are on the agenda, the chemical milling of Tengfei factory is first-class in China, the composite honeycomb material is mature and reliable, the gluing process and hot filling curing process derived from carbon fiber composite materials are also in the forefront in China, plus a series of automated and standardized production technology and management mode.

Although the performance of the facelifted Y-6 is a step higher than that of the original improved Y-5, it is still far from reaching the manufacturing limit for Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation.

So two months after Zhuang Jianye went to the grain aircraft test center, a new Y-6 static test verification aircraft with a single wing, a more smooth and rounded fuselage, and a three-point fixed landing gear layout was placed on the static test bench of the grain aircraft test center.
