Chapter 646 - Deliver the test flight!
At night, the final assembly and manufacturing center of Huaxia Fokker Company is brightly lit and busy.
The two Kunlun turbofan engines arrived here smoothly, and the assembly of the engines and some finishing work began immediately.
In the huge assembly and manufacturing center building, the huge Fokker passenger plane is parked there, the workers are busy, and the two Kunlun turbofan engines are being loaded into the engine compartment, everything is tense and orderly.
Yang Jie and others are also senior executives of Huaxia Foker Company, as well as Wang Yonglin and others, who are watching the assembly of the aircraft there, showing excitement and pride in everyone's eyes.
The Kunlun turbofan engine finally passed the FAA certification this month.
Wang Yonglin is very familiar with the specific content of the aero engine to obtain the US airworthiness certificate, and the design, manufacturing and testing of the company's engine are strictly in accordance with the standards of Rolls-Royce.
Despite the preparations, it took more than a year for Yonghan Aviation Power Technology to obtain FAA certification.
At the same time, because of the outbreak of the epidemic, in order not to delay the review, Yang Jie also gave these FAA review department executives and reviewers a lot of benefits so that the review work was not delayed.
In order to pass the application of this engine model for a period of time, Yang Jie also purchased a second-hand Fokker aircraft equipped with a turbofan engine for hundreds of hours of various flight tests, and the FAA finally issued an airworthiness pass to the Kunlun turbofan engine.
After obtaining the FAA airworthiness certificate, Yonghang Aviation Power Technology Co., Ltd. also successfully obtained the EASA certification, and finally can start selling in various countries around the world.
Kunlun turbofan engine for more than a year has been very closely verified by various tests, but also proved that the design of this engine is quite successful, in the test process also found problems, but also fine-tuned changes, now the core engine architecture and various processes have been completely fixed, the new engine will not change too much to the core engine in the future, the platform of this core machine is enough for Yonghan Aviation Power Technology Company to eat for one or two decades.
These test verifications also allowed the company to obtain a large amount of data, and also laid a very solid foundation for the architecture research and development of the next generation of core machines.
Zhao Zhicheng, deputy general manager of the Second Aviation Group Company, who was responsible for following up the project, was also one of the members of the board of directors, and he was also extremely emotional when he saw the Kunlun turbofan engine beginning to be installed in the engine nacelle at the tail.
The Kunlun turbofan engine installed on the Y-8K transport aircraft has completed a series of test flights, and the performance is very good, which makes the military very satisfied.
Now the Kunlun turbofan engine is installed on the Fokker F100, and it has officially entered the field of civil aviation.
Thanks to the joint efforts of engineers sent by Fokker and domestic engineers, the two engines were finally assembled at two o'clock in the morning.
Yang Jie said with a smile: "Arrange it immediately, our senior management team will have a family photo, and the background is this Fokker F100 passenger plane." ”
After a while, Yang Jie and a group of executives from Huaxia Fokker Company stood in front of the plane, and Yang Jie was in the middle position.
Click!
The staff used a DSLR camera to take such a family photo, and behind everyone, it was this Fokker F100 yellow machine.
At present, the exterior of the Fokker F100 fuselage is only covered with this layer of anti-rust paint, and when it is delivered to the customer, it needs to be sprayed with the color paint specified by the customer company and the logo of the airline.
In order to carry out various paintings for passenger aircraft, Huaxia Fokker Company also built a special hangar the size of two football fields for spraying work, and also trained a professional spraying team, with a team of almost 30 people, and it takes almost a week for an F100 passenger aircraft to work 24 hours a day.
Yang Jie knew about these situations for the first time when Huaxia Fokker Company successfully completed the final assembly stage of the structure, the avionics system, the control system and the interior decoration, but he was not in a hurry.
Now that the first Fokker F100 has completed the final assembly, Yang Jie rushed over to witness it with his own eyes.
A few days later, Huaxia Fokker Company was also ready for a test flight, because Fokker F100 is a very mature product, so this test flight is also a test flight before delivery to customers.
Prior to this, Huaxia Fokker had issued a delivery notice to Happiness Airlines, a company of the Second Harbor Group Company, one month in advance.
Happiness Airlines also sent a pick-up team to the final assembly plant of Huaxia Fokker Company one month in advance to make preparations for the pick-up.
The engineers of the pick-up team worked with the pilots to carry out the ground inspection of the F100, check the parts number of each part of the aircraft, check the electronic cabin, cabin equipment, etc., and now these work has been completed.
On the day of the test flight, Luo Binghuan, Jiang Yingzheng, Xu Youlun, Yu Feng, chairman of the Second Harbor Group Company, and senior executives all rushed to participate in the test flight ceremony.
Song Xinyang's secretary general, Huang Haibing, also rushed over.
This time, the Central Committee completed the general election, and Song Xinyang became the second leader, and he was now busy with work and had no time to take a break from it, so he sent the secretary general.
And Luo Binghuan also retired this time, Jiang Yingzheng also took over his position, Luo Binghuan also attaches great importance to Huaxia Fokker Company, even if he retires, he wants to witness the test flight ceremony of the first passenger plane in Chubei Province.
In the morning, the Fokker F100 yellow leather machine was also pulled out of the hangar and transferred to the runway by a tractor.
The weather was fine on this day, and the morning sun shone on the body of the F100, which was still painted with yellow anti-rust paint, shining yellow.
Yang Jie also accompanied Huang Haiping, Jiang Yingzheng, Luo Binghuan and others to board the plane and visit the cabin.
At this time, the deputy chief engineer of the company also introduced the various equipment in the cabin to the leaders in detail, and also came to the cockpit.
Fokker F100 also uses high-brightness display equipment provided by Huaxing Group, and the cockpit has a very sci-fi feeling.
The vast majority of the Fokker F100 fuselage is manufactured in China, and many avionics systems also use equipment provided in China.
Huang Haiping also nodded frequently after hearing this, turned his head to Yang Jie and said: "Chief Song has always hoped that Huaxia Fokker Company can drive the domestic aviation industry through the large aircraft project, and Huaxia Fokker Company has done a very good job in this regard, and I will truthfully report these situations to the chief." ”
"I would like to thank the chief for his continuous support and attention to Huaxia Fokker. ”
Yang Jie nodded.
This test flight was a pilot of Happiness Airlines to serve as the captain, Huaxia Fokker Company also sent a test pilot as the first captain, and several engineers of Happiness Airlines also participated in the test flight.
Huang Haiping and others also shook hands with these people one after another.
Yang Jie and the others got off the plane not long after.
"This test flight even came to the central government, and Huaxia Fokker Company really has a very deep background!"
The accompanying engineer sighed.
"Yes!" the engineer next to him also nodded, and then he said, "But who was that young man just now, it seems that he is not small!"
"That's our boss, haven't you heard of Yang Shao's name?"
The test pilot who accompanied the test flight said.
"It turns out that he is Yang Shao!" the engineers all opened their mouths wide.
"It's not that our boss paid to buy Fokker Company, and I don't know when there will be a domestic passenger plane in China!"
The test pilot said proudly.
"I knew that he was Yang Shao, I should have said a few more words to him just now......"
The engineer said with some remorse: "How many years does it take for a big man like Yang Shao to appear as a peerless genius. ”
"Hehe, there is a chance, our boss is here to inspect and work these days. ”
The test pilot said with a smile.
After the preparatory work, the Fokker F100 was also started, the two turbofan engines behind the tail also roared, and the wing rudder surface and tail of the passenger plane also moved according to the scheduled action.
The captain and test pilot who piloted the aircraft carried out various checks on the various systems in accordance with the flight manual procedures, and everything was normal, and he then reported the situation to the tower and requested a takeoff.
The tower also approved the captain's request.
