Chapter 484: An-26 Special Platform

"Why do I sound so familiar with this?" Lao Zhou in the cabin frowned and asked, and immediately reacted enough, and Song Changzheng in the cockpit was silent and said, "The words of Xiaozhuang, you are embarrassed to use them." ”

"At this time, I don't know who scolded Tengfei Aviation Corporation for nonsense half a month ago?"

"You...... I ......"

Lao Zhou didn't expect Song Changzheng to expose his old bottom at this time, and his old face turned red for a while, not to mention how embarrassing it was, so that the other officers and soldiers who controlled the equipment next to him held back their laughter, which made Lao Zhou want to rush over and throw Song Changzheng's mouthy man out of the plane along the porthole.

Lao Zhou's name is Zhou Jiwei, and he is the deputy captain of the special flight group of the naval aviation force, and the two An-26 platforms that Song Changzheng is responsible for replacing the D-46L turboprop engine of Tengfei Aviation Power are from Zhou Jiwei's special flight team.

In line with the principle of making the best use of things, now that it has been replaced with more efficient engines, the navy has simply gone all the way to the end, and further improved the two An-26s in depth to make them more efficient special support platforms for early warning, communications, anti-submarine, patrol, anti-ship missile relay guidance, and other tasks.

It's just that the Navy's idea is good, but there is some uncertainty about how to change it, mainly because the Navy's experts have put forward two plans: major and minor reforms.

The overhaul is to perform a deep major operation inside and outside the An-26 under the condition that the basic structure of the An-26 is inconvenient, and the necessary support equipment is installed, so as to make it a professional special support aircraft.

As for the minor changes, the pod is added, and some external equipment is installed, so that the An-26 can have some special support capabilities.

There are pros and cons to both types of modifications, and the overhaul is more professional and the task capability is stronger, but the complex modification brings long development time and unpredictable bottlenecks and risks.

The minor changes are simple and efficient, but they also face the problems of insufficient mission support and low combat capability.

In addition, there are also the choice of aircraft types, such as early warning and communication support, which have been welcomed by Zhou Jiwei and others, and anti-submarine and patrol vehicles, which have made people like Chen Fang very interested.

All in all, there was a lot of debate within the Navy about how the two planes were modified and what they were going to look like, but they couldn't come up with a reason.

As a result, when the Navy was undecided, the Tengfei Aviation Corporation provided two sets of underbelly boxed components to the An-26, which was undergoing test flights, in the name of supporting equipment for the D-46L turboprop engine.

Its prototype comes from the artificial rain module on the Yun-6, which performed well in the Daxinganling fire rescue.

It is a compartment extension that fits snugly under the belly of the aircraft, and is divided into three compartments that can be used to replicate small cargo, or to use a pull-out storage box to carry liquids.

The material is T700 carbon fiber composite material, which has been trimmed by wind tunnel test and integrated molding, and can be quickly installed and disassembled without damaging the body with the connection holes and control cable joints reserved under the belly of the Yun6.

Of course, the boxed components provided to the An-26 under the belly are much more complicated than those of the Y-6, after all, the Y-6 components are just simple cargo components, and the function is relatively simple.

However, what Tengfei Aviation Corporation provided to the An-26 was an upgraded version of the multi-mission formation, because the formation was not equipped with cargo, but with advanced special detection equipment.

Take the 01 module, which is quite satisfactory to the Navy, which integrates all the reconnaissance, detection and communication equipment on the Wuzhen-8A "Plus" UAV equipped by the Air Force Mapping Group.

Combined with the improved ground control station and communication system installed in the engine room, the An-26 can be equipped with some of the capabilities of the non-detectable -8A in addition to remote control in a very short time.

This is simply a surprise for the Navy, you must know that their eyes have long been red with envy of the Air Force's undetectable-8A "Plus" drones.

However, the coverage of domestic communication satellites is too small to be used in the vast oceans, so the navy cannot equip them.

But if it is integrated into the An-26 in the form of components, it will be different, the UAV has become a manned aircraft, and the problem of remote control can be solved in an instant, and the super reconnaissance capability, anti-jamming ability and strong confidential relay communication capability of the Wuzhen-8A make the An-26 immediately become a comprehensive communication reconnaissance support platform with excellent performance.

In some respects, it is even superior to the Navy's current Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft, becoming the most advanced support aircraft in the Navy's possession.

It is precisely because of the excellent performance of this set of components and the fact that it meets the mission needs of the Navy at this stage, that the Tengfei Aviation Corporation has engaged in the sales behavior of this set of Ming Xiu plank road dark Chen Cang under the pretext of D-46L turboprop engine supporting equipment, and the leaders of the Navy have turned a blind eye and acquiesced in the use of an old An-26 to try it first, and if the effect is good, it will be integrated into the modified An-26 of the D-46L turboprop engine.

There is nothing to say about the effect of the test, but Zhuyu, who has participated in several border reconnaissance operations in the past, has participated in several border reconnaissance operations, and the equipment optimized on this basis naturally has excellent performance, and the Navy is very happy to approve the decision to use the 01 component to integrate into the improved An-26.

However, how smooth the No. 01 component is, and how bumpy the No. 02 component from the Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation is, there is no other, just because this set of anti-submarine reconnaissance components is not recognized by most people in the Navy at all.

There are many reasons, but there is only one at all, that is, has Tengfei Aviation Corporation ever set foot in the field of anti-submarine reconnaissance?

The answer is obvious, not to mention anti-submarine, Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation does not even know what fish are under the sea.

Component 01 is the technology directly used on the Wujing-8a, and the Navy naturally has nothing to say, but what is the component 02 used?

There are a lot of opposing voices, Zhou Jiwei is one of the most resolute attitudes, in his original words, it is better to let the hairy boy surnamed Zhuang An An do what he is good at, don't always talk nonsense, anti-submarine that thing is something that ordinary people can play with? If you don't have that spare time, it is better to produce more 01 components, and I still have seven or eight flying An-26s in my hands, all of which have comprehensive reconnaissance and communication capabilities.

There are many more similar words, and they almost kill the No. 02 component.

But at this moment, a notice from the Navy Headquarters made people like Zhou Jiwei who opposed the No. 02 component extremely stunned, that is, they agreed to the No. 02 anti-submarine component to join the comprehensive upgrade plan of the improved An-26.

Although they were stunned, Zhou Jiwei and the others did not pay too much attention to it, because the notice of the Navy Headquarters was obviously of a test nature, after all, anti-submarine is an important task of the Navy, and since the Tengfei Aviation Corporation has come up with an anti-submarine component test, it is understandable.

What's more, the scale and background of the Tengfei Aviation Corporation are all there, and if you really take the upper route, the navy will have to give some face.

It's just a pity that an improved An-26, how good would it be if it was changed to the No. 01 module?

As a result, it didn't take long for the Eastern Union Fleet to happen, and the improved An-02, equipped with the No. 26 anti-submarine assembly, was ordered to carry out aviation anti-submarine missions.

After successfully forcing out the Soviet submarine, Zhou Jiwei, who was in charge of reconnaissance and command, turned into a sentence that really went to his grandmother's house, alas, oh my, it's so fragrant!
