The two pilots who piloted the Super Flying Cat also lowered the boarding ramp and walked down at this time, both of them were test pilots from the Army Aviation Corps and had rich experience in helicopter piloting.

After the two test pilots came down, they also saluted Wu Wenlong, Yang Jie and others.

Yang Jie also subconsciously returned a military salute.

Wu Wenlong also asked the two test pilots at this time how the performance of this super flying cat on such a high altitude plateau, the pilot led by him said happily: "This super flying cat performed very well, during which we flew at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, the power performance of the helicopter is still very sufficient, and the rotor de-icing system works very well......

The test pilot was very excited about the advantages of this super flying cat, and almost praised the helicopter.

This heavy-duty helicopter is indeed a pillar, Huaxing Group has used all the advanced technology of itself and China, and even some of it is too strong, even the autonomous driving system and artificial intelligence chips have been put on, not to mention the helicopter attitude stabilization system.

In fact, over the past year or so, test pilots have been testing the autonomous pilot system, a stand-alone system that interfaces with the helicopter's existing mechanical, electronic and diagnostic systems, and pilots connect to it via a tablet.

So far, the technology has been tested for more than 300 hours of autonomous flight, and under the supervision of test pilots, the helicopter has also completed the tasks of taking off, arriving at its destination and landing, while avoiding obstacles along the way.

This system is naturally inseparable from the various high-precision sensors carried by this super flying cat, this helicopter is equipped with a variety of high-tech electronic equipment, the electronic pod under the nose includes terrain tracking and avoidance radar and optoelectronic system, and the pilot's helmet also has a night vision system.

At the same time, the helicopter is also equipped with a digital map, and is also equipped with an inertial global positioning system, a Doppler navigation system, a mission computer, and a Starlink positioning system, with the help of which this super flying cat can accurately navigate and enter the target area on its own.

The performance of this super flying cat military version can be said to be very powerful, but the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, it is too expensive, such a heavy helicopter is too expensive, the cost is close to 50 million US dollars, which is more expensive than the J-15!

Now the Sichuan-Tibet Military Region has signed a contract with Ruisheng Technology Company for four Super Flying Cats, and the Navy has also signed a contract for ten of them, and the purchase volume is very small, it seems that the heavy helicopter developed by Ruisheng Technology Company is going to lose money, but Yang Jie is not very worried about this.

Because with this platform, it can still be sold more when it is transformed into a civilian version, and through the research and development of such a heavy helicopter, Ruisheng Technology Company has accumulated a lot of experience in the development of helicopters, and has trained a design team, and it is easy to develop small and medium-sized helicopters.

R&D products have always been like this, not necessarily the development of a product can be a big sell, sometimes there may be a number of products after the launch of one or two products will be a big sell, other products will cause losses.

Yang Jie developed this heavy helicopter to solve the problem that there is no helicopter in China that can go to the plateau, the main customer is the military, and the total purchase volume will not be too large.

He has asked Ruisheng Technology to start developing a civilian version on this platform, mainly for forest firefighting, emergency rescue and disaster relief, heavy machinery operation and other fields.

The size of the super flying cat is the same as the size of the super stallion heavy helicopter of Eagle Sauce, but the performance is even stronger, because of the use of hydrogen fuel, the range has been doubled, and a large number of composite materials are used, and the empty weight is lower, so the efficiency of the helicopter is higher, Yang Jie is still more optimistic about the market prospects of this helicopter.

Although the aero engine strength of Yonghan Aviation Technology Company is also very strong, and it is not too difficult to develop a high-performance turboshaft engine, Yang Jie still decided to concentrate all his strength on the development of fuel cell and electric rotor system technology.

Because the potential of aero engines using fossil fuels has been almost squeezed out, such as Eagle Sauce and Western countries have accumulated a large number of technical patents in this regard, which is impossible to give up easily, but Yang Jie, as a reborn, will naturally not run behind the buttocks, so he has been crazy about investing in fuel cells and motors over the years, and it has lasted for more than ten years, and now it is finally making electric propulsion technology widely used in helicopters and propeller planes in advance.

Huaxing Group has also become a leader in electric engines and fuel cells, especially the second-generation permanent magnet electric engine launched by Ruisheng Technology Co., Ltd. is made of ultra-light cloisonné aluminum alloy components, weighing only more than 400 kilograms, coupled with electrical technologies such as high-power converters and supercapacitor batteries, torque amplifiers and other technologies, to achieve a smaller power system, more efficient and low-power performance, many of which are world-class new records.

The first-generation power system of Ruisheng Technology Company is still a little too large and overweight, but it is now stronger than the performance of the turboshaft engine in all aspects.

Moreover, the use of electric engine system is not an order of magnitude higher than that of turboshaft engines in terms of noise control and power consumption, and has very large advantages.

Yang Jie's is also to let Ruisheng Technology Company develop small and low-cost helicopters on the existing basis to meet the needs of domestic and foreign markets, because of the super flying cat, this heavy-duty helicopter technology foundation, so the development is relatively smooth.

This time, the Super Flying Cat successfully completed its first landing in the plateau area at an altitude of 5,000 meters, which also made Yang Jie, Wu Wenlong and others very happy.

Zhang Haiping, who learned the news, also specially called to encourage him, which also made the team involved in the Super Flying Cat heavy helicopter very excited.

The Super Flying Cat heavy helicopter will be tested in the plateau area for more than half a year, and the main content includes flight and load tests under various complex meteorological conditions.

At the beginning of the design, this helicopter was designed to be able to carry up to six tons of load in the plateau area to meet the transportation target of personnel and weapons and equipment in the plateau area, which is ten times higher than the load capacity of the Black Hawk helicopter!

The R&D team is very confident in this design goal, which is mainly because the fuel cell is a chemical reaction, and the altitude has little effect on it, and the super-flying cat has also specially added a pressurization system to reduce the impact of the thin air plateau environment on the fuel cell efficiency as much as possible.

Moreover, the fuel cell has also been tested in this area before the scene, and the test results are still very satisfactory.

This is the roof of the world, there are very few helicopters that can meet the flying environment here, and many helicopter companies perform very well at low altitudes, but it is enough to go up to the plateau, and to meet such a large load, the difficulty is the same as climbing Mount Everest.

As long as the Super Flying Cat completes this test, it means that this heavy-duty helicopter has reached the world's leading helicopter level!

Yang Jie was still very relieved that the Super Flying Cat had completed the test here, and the next day he also rushed to Nanao Group to inspect the completed geothermal power station in the Yangbajing Basin.
