Chapter 905: Subversive Fortune-17
Yes, it's just not true.
Especially the scene two hours ago, the military observers are now in a dream.
It can't be helped, it's too shocking.
In particular, the moment the twin-engine jet flew above their heads, the unique feeling of heartbeat and engine roar resonating really made people get goosebumps.
The Z-12, the bigger helicopter, the S-70 "Black Hawk" helicopter all lost their luster after the huge figure landed.
Even if it has an extremely cute appearance, it can carry a mixture of an S-70 "Black Hawk" helicopter and a Z-12 helicopter Y-16 special transport aircraft, which is dwarfed in front of that twin-engine transport plane.
This is not because of the high appearance of this twin-engine transport aircraft, not to mention that there is anything special about it.
But the fact that this transport aircraft clearly surpasses the Y-15Plus is already extraordinary.
Not inferior to the take-off and landing capacity of the Y-15PLUS transport aircraft, but with more than twice the carrying capacity of the Y-15Plus, the twin-engine medium-sized transport aircraft called the Y-17 has conquered the military observers of various countries with a gorgeous practical action.
"Everyone, the details of the Yun-17 you want have already been brought over......
Just as the military observers were looking at the busy field airfield in the distance with binoculars in their hands, and the scene of the Y-17's domineering landing and roaring rise kept flashing in their heads, the officer in charge of accompanying the group of foreign military observers rushed over with a large amount of materials.
As a result, before he could finish his sentence, a large number of pretending military observers immediately followed the athlete who heard the starting pistol, and before they could put down the binoculars, they turned and pounced on the officer, who was halfway through the sentence, startled, but before he could react, he was surrounded by a group of military observers.
"Quick~~ Give me a copy!"
"And my ~~"
"Ahmed, don't rob it, your country's C-130 is not very good. ”
"Isn't your An-12 not bad, why do you have to squeeze me in front?"
"Would you like to talk about some etiquette, I know that we are going to transport the performance parameters of the -17, I don't know if I think it is a group of refugees fighting for food, please note that we are military diplomats, not refugees...... Kindness...... That's it, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, please get me ten copies~~~"
"Nehwal you bastard ~~~"
......
Where has the officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel seen this meeting, the military observers who are usually personable are like the aunts outside the special market, they go crazy when they don't agree with each other, what about the decency of the military observers?
The problem is that the lieutenant colonel officer is still thinking about decency and demeanor, and the military observers of various countries do not have that idle time, they come around, and in the blink of an eye, they are specially approved by their superiors, and the 20 copies of the Yun-17 performance parameters that have just been printed by the mimeograph machine that have just been shipped are snatched up by the real gentlemen in front of these people, and the old ~~~ guys behind them.
So much so that many military observers from various countries who didn't grab it could only look at the lieutenant colonel officer pitifully, which meant obviously, whether they could be accommodating, taking a few more copies, whatever the conditions, and all kinds of postures were casual.
After being looked at for a few seconds by a pair of fiery eyes that could almost melt the 10,000-year-old glaciers in the Karakoram Mountains, the lieutenant colonel officer couldn't stand it, and he wondered, isn't it just a Y-17 that was urgently transferred to transport a medium-sized rescue helicopter produced by the Tengfei Group, as for this?
Not only the lieutenant colonel officers at the scene couldn't figure it out, but even Zheng Quanli, who coordinated various departments and units in the field airfield to carry out disaster relief, couldn't figure it out.
This time, to build a bridge for disaster relief in the plateau, the Y-8, Y-15, Y-15Plus, Y-15, Y-15, Y-76, and even the Y-16, which is specially designed to transport special large-scale structural parts for the aerospace sector, were all dispatched.
There are so many types of transport planes, how about those military observers, how can they have a soft spot for the Y-17?
Is there something so attractive about the Yun-17?
The so-called Y-17 is actually an improved version of the Y-15.
That is to say, the original four small-thrust turbofan engines of the Yun-You-15 were replaced by two turbofan engines with greater thrust, and there is no essential improvement in the basic performance, and it is still equivalent to the Yun-You-15.
It's also a shame that Zhuang Jianye isn't here, otherwise he will definitely teach his cheap brother-in-law a good lesson, and he only knows how to fight, so he can't decorate and consume something more than this kind of use?
Why can't you learn hard with your wife, look at Ning Xiaoxue now, she is about to become the queen of retail in China, and now she is ready to play the information superhighway, and the pattern of Dalian Zhuang Jianye sighed to himself, and then look at Zheng Quanli, Zhuang Jianye can only sigh, they are all dog men and women sleeping in the same bed, why is there such a big difference.
The reason why military observers from various countries are eager to see the Y-17 is that the Y-17 is cheaper and more cost-effective.
After all, the Yun-15 is a four-engine, while the Yun-17 is a double-engine.
Even if the thrust of the four engines of the Yun\Oil-15 is not large, and the fuel consumption is also very cost-effective, the maintenance cost is doubled compared with the double-engine, after all, the basic structure of the turbofan engine is very similar, and the maintenance steps of the thrust above the medium are basically the same, even if the thrust of the Y-17 is greater than that of the Y-15, from the perspective of maintenance, the Y-17 is obviously more convenient and more cost-effective.
Of course, the cost of maintenance is only one aspect that makes military observers of various countries quite interested in the Y-17, and it cannot become the key to rushing to the Y-17, after all, there are so many twin-engine transport planes around the world, and the low maintenance cost is even more grasping, so why do you have a soft spot for the Y-17?
Quite simply, because the Y-17 is large enough.
You must know that in the current field of mainstream transport aircraft in the world, twin-engine transport aircraft are basically light transport aircraft such as Y-15PLUS or An-32.
Larger ones are four-engine medium or heavy machines.
For example, the C-160 transport aircraft jointly produced by France and Germany has a take-off weight of 51 tons and a deadweight of 16 tons, which is not much different from the Soviet Union's An-12 and the United States' C-130.
The problem is that sometimes, just a few tons of payload can make the difference between winning or losing a campaign or the degree of redundancy with the deep improvements of such platforms.
In addition, the An-12 and C-130 overlap with the C-160 in terms of tasks is very high, so that the export situation of the C-160 is not ideal except for a few European countries.
Because of this, there is a general illusion around the world that it seems that it is difficult for twin-engine transport aircraft to develop above medium.
However, all of this was completely subverted in the Y-17, with a maximum take-off weight of 65.8 tons and a load of 23.5 tons.
