Chapter 574: It would be nice to come out two years earlier

I saw that the "small forklift" helicopter that was facing the wind, when it flew to a steep halfway up the mountain, the speed decreased, and then made some adjustments in the air to stabilize the helicopter itself and the steel structure components hoisted below, and then began to descend in height, slowly approaching the construction workers in the middle of the mountainside to open up a small platform.

The whole process can be described as done in one go, without half a point of mud and water.

The head of Lu Airlines looked at this scene, and the whole person was as if he had seen a long-awaited wonderful movie, focused, serious, and meticulous.

From time to time, I have to put down the binoculars and rub my eyes, for fear that I will not be able to see clearly.

At this time, the hoisting steel cable on the "small forklift" helicopter will be smoothly put down the steel structure below under the rotation of the winch, and the workers responsible for the installation on the ground will begin to adjust the orientation details of the structural parts when the steel structure is still a little distance from the tower base.

Soon, under the guidance of the ground personnel, the steel structure parts are firmly in line with the tower base, the welder takes the welding torch to start at the place that needs to be welded, the riveter holds the huge rivet and fixes it in the fixed hole reserved in advance, and the installer begins to twist the fastening bolts everywhere......

All in all, the workers on the installation site performed their duties, and soon the steel structure on the tower base was preliminarily fixed, and then some workers climbed on the steel frame to remove the hoisting steel cable.

The "small forklift" helicopter, which had been hovering in mid-air and doing hoisting support for the workers below, immediately started the winch, collected the steel cable, and then quickly pulled it up, spared a circle in the mountains of the construction site, and then accelerated and flew quickly towards the station of a certain regiment of the Army Aviation stationed in the southwest.

However, less than half an hour after the helicopter that had been hoisted left, another "small forklift" helicopter, hoisting a brand-new steel structure, flew quickly.

The same is not afraid of the wind in the mountains, the same is the same in one go to enter, descend, put the components, the same installation quickly has a take-off circle, departure......

Almost every 20 to 30 minutes, another "small forklift" helicopter flew over, accurately completed the hoisting and then left quickly.

At this time, not only the head of Lu Airlines was dumbfounded, but even Bian Kai, a professional, was dumbfounded.

If one sortie and two sorties are so stable, it will be forgotten, which shows that there are indeed capable people among the helicopter pilots who have taken off and opened to navigation.

The problem is that in two or three hours, after flying about seven or eight sorties, each of them is as stable as carved out of a mold, Bian Kai can't help but be frightened.

If this is the case, how is it that the troops with a roster of domestic pilots do not know?

......

"If the prediction is correct, the 'small forklift' helicopter should have a fly-by-wire control system, otherwise every aircraft cannot be so accurate. ”

Bian Kai was puzzled by the question, but Yodel, who had been watching all this in the village, made his judgment very clear, and immediately put down the telescope in his hand and exhaled a long breath: "The engine with good performance has applied a fly-by-wire control system. ”

Before the words fell, Yodel's brows suddenly furrowed, and he said with some puzzlement: "Under normal circumstances, you shouldn't be so conservative. ”

Yodel's wonder is not unreasonable, the overall structure of the "small forklift" helicopter is very similar to the American-made S-64 and aerial crane, and it seems to keep up with the world trend.

But in fact, the S-64, the aerial crane is a product of the United States in the fifties and sixties, and in the eighties it has been completely replaced by the more advanced "Chinook" helicopter.

In other words, the S-64 aerial crane is not an advanced technology, and even in some aspects it is very rough, which does not conform to the current trend of helicopter development.

If the technology used by the Chinese is ordinary low-end goods, it is just that, from the actual effect, the power of the "small forklift" helicopter is not bad, and the fly-by-wire control is realized, such good conditions, actually make something that is not up or down, which makes Yodel puzzled, it is simply strange.

But this is also Yodel standing in the village and watching from a distance, without probing or even disassembling it at close range, otherwise it would not be unbelievable, but he would not understand why the helicopter would be like this.

If it is advanced, some of the components in it are really not said, silicon nitride bearings, gears, shafts, bearing integrated components have applications.

But to be conservative, there are really many designs and structures from the sixties and seventies.

All in all, the "small forklift" helicopter is a freak of a hybrid of advanced technology and conservative design.

The reason for this is very simple, the "small forklift" helicopter is not a completely new model, but an improved version of the old Z-6.

Because of this, the "small forklift" helicopter inherited many of the design and structure of the Z-6, but the turboshaft engine, final reducer components and flight control system of the Z-6 were subversively improved.

Therefore, the "small forklift" helicopter is not so much a new model, but a full state presentation of the Z-6 helicopter.

Because the Z-6 of that year was due to serious defects in the engine, final reducer and flight control, accidents occurred frequently during test flights, which eventually led to dismounting.

Therefore, in the past many years, Professor Zhao has devoted all his energy to these three directions, but unfortunately he has not found a suitable opportunity to realize them.

It wasn't until he went to Tengfei Group to inspect and saw silicon nitride bearings, electron beam welding machines, and fly-by-wire flight controllers from the Flight Control Research Institute that Professor Zhao knew that his opportunity had come.

Of course, Professor Zhao didn't think about building a helicopter with better performance, after all, the production and manufacturing capacity of Tengfei Group is there, plus materials and aviation development, as long as Professor Zhao reasons, the index can be set higher.

However, Professor Zhao did not do this, for the simple reason that helicopters, like other aircraft, are systems engineering, and they cannot be manufactured depending on your ability.

Because of this, the ability to integrate the system and the overall ability of design is very important, and it is precisely the lack of specialized talents in this area that Tengfei Group has, so Professor Zhao did not improve the development index, but used the familiar old model to help Tengfei Group train a group of helicopter professionals from beginning to end.

Therefore, Zhuang Jianye feels that compared with the quality of a helicopter model, the talent team for the development and production of helicopters that has been initially formed is the most valuable.

Yodel naturally didn't know about this, and as for Bian Kai, who was like a curious baby pulling Zhuang Jianye and asking non-stop, he also didn't get a word out of Zhuang Jianye's mouth in this regard, because just a fly-by-wire control system had already made Bian Kai not know what to say, resulting in the next questions all revolving around this aspect.

Looking at Bian Kai's energy, I can't wait to jump over and experience what it's like to have a helicopter with a fly-by-wire control system.

As a result, just when Bian Kai was pestering Zhuang Jianye to experience it, the head of Lu Airlines, who had been carefully observing for a long time and had not said a word, suddenly sighed in a sad tone: "It would be nice if this plane came out two years earlier...... It would be nice to come out two years earlier......"
