Although Viktor Vladimirovich Kayapa assured Wang Dazhi that there was no problem, how could Wang Dazhi rest assured? When he was towed outside by the tractor and the test pilots were conducting the final inspection of the plane before takeoff, Wang Dazhi's heart rose to his throat.

There were no problems, the plane was in very good condition, and as the commander-in-chief of the scene, Wang Dazhi finally issued an order: "Conduct tests according to the plan." ”

Although all the core self-systems of the Wuzhi-9 come from the Zhi-9, after all, the aerodynamic shape has changed so much, the first test is definitely impossible to fly directly, the test is divided into two steps, the first step is to see if the engine can be started smoothly, and the second is to let the rotor turn twice.

As long as the rotor can rotate normally, the test will be considered a success, and as for flying twice in the sky, you don't even think about it.

The whole experiment went smoothly, just like Viktor Vladimirovich Kayapa, in essence, this Wuzhi-9 is actually a Zhi-9, with engine, final drive, rotor and rotor head, instrumentation system, tail boom, turboprop...... It's all from the Z-9, since the Z-9 can fly, why can't this Wuzhi-9 fly?

The success of the first day not only relieved Wang Dazhi, but also greatly encouraged the entire Wuzhi-9 test flight team.

Under the premise that the group provided sufficient financial guarantees, in the next month or so, they carried out highly intensive take-off, hovering, simulated attack and other tactical actions in the no-load state, and then, even carried out test flights in various flight states by adding simulated bombs, the test results showed that the Wuzhi-9 armed helicopter modified on the basis of the Z-9 has better maneuverability and flexibility because of the narrow fuselage. Kayapa even conducted a test flight with the addition of external protective armor.

It's pitiful to say, as a light gunship with a maximum take-off weight of just over 4 tons, even if Viktor Vladimirovich Kayapashi is the world's top gunship designer, but helplessly, the power of the two turboshaft-8A turboshaft engines carried on the Wuzhi-9 is really limited, so that in order to ensure the most important maneuverability and strike firepower of the gunship, Viktor Vladimirovich · Kayapa had to make trade-offs with other performance metrics, such as protection, which was equally important.

It's pitiful to say, the Wuzhi-9 doesn't even have any protective armor!

Not only is there no additional armor attached to the outside of the engine compartment to protect the engine, but there is also no protective armor in the crew cabin, and all this is to meet the requirements of the Commission of Science and Technology for mobility and strike firepower.

However, despite this, Viktor Vladimirovich Kayapa did his best to design a set of detachable external armor for the Wuzhi-9 with the concept of "protection of key areas", with a total weight of 200 kilograms, which were installed at the bottom, front and sides of the crew compartment to protect the most important crew members, so that this armor could be installed when performing some non-heavy strike figures.

When the first phase of the factory test flight was completed, the Spring Festival had passed, Wang Dazhi did not dare to slack off, and after completing the factory test flight, he reported the situation to Jin Sichang.

"You have completed the test flight?!" Receiving Wang Dazhi's call, Jin Sichang was very surprised, and his tone became serious: "Comrade Wang Dazhi, you can't joke about this kind of thing!"

Wang Dazhi understood why Jin Sichang had such a reaction, and hurriedly said: "Leader, I assure you, I am absolutely not joking, we have really completed the test flight subjects stipulated by the state...... Well, all the test flight subjects are personally conducted by Mr. Kayapa, and we also have a perfect test flight record, so I'll pass it on to you now?"

"Of course, the test flight record is going to be passed on," Jin Sichang pondered for a while and said: "In addition, if the situation you report is true, Comrade Wang Dazhi, you have to be prepared, maybe not only our Science and Technology Commission, but also some comrades of the army big brother will also pass, do you understand?"

This is an implicit warning: Comrade Wang Dazhi, you know how much the country attaches importance to this armed helicopter, if this helicopter is really as good as you say, you can be regarded as a meritorious service to the country, but if you really have any bragging elements, now in my place, you honestly admit it, I won't say anything, but if the army big brother passes over and finds some bad places, then you kid won't be able to eat and walk around!

Well, it's not so much a warning as protection with a warning.

They are all people who are about to retire, of course, Wang Dazhi will not be unable to hear the good thing, he quickly responded: "Thank you for the care of the leader, leader, I assure you as a party member of the party spirit, as the general manager of COMAC, we have developed this Wuzhi helicopter is a very good special armed helicopter, we are very confident in the performance of this armed -9 armed helicopter, and sincerely invite the leaders to come to inspect our aircraft." ”

Wang Dazhi, this guy, sounds full of confidence.

Since Wang Dazhi had already said this, Jin Sichang didn't say anything anymore, and responded: "Then you are ready." ”

Wang Dazhi on the other end of the phone heard this, and his heart was a little heavy: The gang of beam-jumping clowns on the other side of the strait still brought a lot of pressure to the above - in fact, strictly speaking, the gang of beam-jumping clowns on the other side of the strait has never been a big problem, the real problem is the Americans behind the gang of spice clowns.

..................

According to the normal process, this kind of thing will take at least a month later, but it only took a week, and the Science and Technology Commission headed by Jin Sichang and several leaders of the military hurried to Bingcheng.

The army's demand for special gunships is so urgent!

Perhaps out of the mind of the school examination, or the distrust of the "speed of commercial aircraft", the leaders of the Commission of Science and Technology and the military did not notify the COMAC Group and Wang Dazhi in advance before arriving, until they arrived at the gate of the COMAC Group, Jin Sichang called Wang Dazhi, saying that his party had arrived at the gate, and asked him to tell the doorman to let his party go.

Hearing Jin Sichang's words, Wang Dazhi's head in the meeting was about to explode: What are the leaders doing?
