Chapter 597: Test Flight Success!
According to the test flight regulations, Q200 will fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and return after half an hour of cruising flight, because it is a passenger plane, there is no need to do some thrilling actions, and those violent maneuvers are what fighters have to do.
This Q200 flies unusually smoothly at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and it is very comfortable to pilot, and it is very quiet for the personnel on board.
The Q200 cabin is equipped with active noise suppression technology, but the low hum coming from outside the fuselage is canceled out.
The plane followed the scheduled route, and Li Baoguo also maintained radio contact with the ground control tower to report the flight situation.
Time passed minute by minute.
Half an hour also flew by, and at this time, the plane flew a large circle in the high altitude and began to return home.
"Lee, is there a problem with the fuel gauge?"
Paul looked at the fuel gauge and couldn't help but wonder: "This fuel consumption is too abnormal." ”
Li Baoguo also looked at the fuel gauge, flew for half an hour, the fuel consumption was reduced very little, and then looked at the fuel indicator, thought about it, and then said: "Mr. Paul, this aircraft uses hydrogen fuel, and the fuel cell and motor system of Huaxing Group are very efficient, and it is normal for the consumption to be small." ”
Paul suddenly said, "Wow, it's amazing to be able to do this! The range of an aircraft with this system will be increased by more than 50 percent!"
Seeing Paul's shocked expression, Li Baoguo's heart was also full of pride, this Paul was quite arrogant during the time he came to Huaxia, and at this time he was shocked by the product technology of Huaxing Group Company, he felt like he had eaten ginseng fruit.
He knows that aero engines using fossil fuels are the most fuel-intensive when they take off and land, and because of the thin air at high altitudes, the engine performance drops sharply, and the fuel consumption is actually not low, but the fuel cell plus the motor does not have such a problem, and hydrogen fuel can be used very efficiently all the time, of course, it is very fuel-efficient.
The Y-8, which has flown before, is powered by four turboprop engines, and because of the relatively low fuel utilization rate, the range is only more than 3,000 kilometers, which is really a bit short for a military transport aircraft.
However, judging from the performance of the fuel cell and motor equipped on the Q200, under the same amount of fuel, if this system is used on the Y-8, the range will almost double, approaching 6,000 kilometers!
"Attention, everyone, start landing!"
Paul made a radio announcement to the cabin technicians, and then pressed the control stick, and the plane's speed began to decrease, and the altitude also began to decrease, and it flew towards the designated runway of the airport.
Seeing that the Q200 circled in the air and was about to descend, the personnel in the observation area burst into applause.
The altitude of the Q200 is further reduced, lower and lower, the aircraft landing gear is opened, aimed at the designated runway, the tires on the landing gear are in contact with the airport runway, making a screeching sound, because of the friction, raising a faint cloud of smoke and dust.
The plane landed smoothly!
The Q200 taxied on the runway, gradually steady, and the speed became slower and slower, and in the eager eyes of everyone, the plane finally stopped steadily.
At this time, a burst of cheers erupted from the crowd in the open-air observation area, and a burst of applause also erupted from inside the tower.
"Mr. Yang, you guys are amazing!" Laurent shook hands with Yang Jie with some excitement at this time.
"Customer satisfaction is what we are most happy about. Yang Jie said with a smile.
The fuel cell and motor system provided by Huaxing Group to Bombardier Group still needs to take up to a year of test flight, and at the same time, it also needs to obtain airworthiness certificates from various countries, and there are still many things to do, but Yang Jie is very satisfied with the performance of these products provided by Ruisheng Technology.
In the past year or so, Ruisheng Technology has to provide at least four such systems to Bombardier, and the company needs a lot of complicated work to do in order to obtain the airworthiness certificate.
Although such a complete system Ruisheng Technology sold Bombardier for $1.2 million, the cost was close to $400,000, almost twice as much, but the money was not so easy to earn.
In the evening, Yang Jie also communicated with the personnel of the West Aviation Group and the military.
Seeing that the power system provided by Ruisheng Technology to Bombardier is so strong, Xifei Aviation Group and the military are also a little anxious.
At present, the military is also in urgent need of a number of military transport aircraft, and the performance of the Y-8 series produced by Xifei Aviation Group Company is indeed difficult to meet the needs of the military.
For this reason, the military also went to Russia and CIS countries to find second-hand Il-76 and buy it back for renovation, but the number is very small.
Now the Il-76 is the best transport aircraft that Huaxia can get, and the military top brass also hopes to purchase more second-hand Il-76 from Russia, but now the company that provides the main fuselage components for the Il-76 has gone out of business, and Russia has no way to continue production, and the new Il-476 developed by themselves is fast and slow.
The military has an urgent need for this kind of transport aircraft with a load of nearly 60 tons, and now Ruisheng Technology Company has figured out a fuel cell plus motor rotor system, which is very powerful, and the military naturally hopes that Xifei Aviation Group can use it as soon as possible.
In the past six months, Xifei Aviation Group has also regarded the cooperation with Huaxia Fokker as a key project, and is stepping up the expansion of the plant and the purchase of equipment and training employees to prepare for the aircraft fuselage of Huaxia Fokker.
The people of Xifei Aviation Group naturally want to establish a good relationship with Yang Jie.
A rich man like Yang Jie, who plucks a hair from his leg at will, is a project of hundreds of millions of dollars, which is much more generous than the above financial allocation, the key is that it is really profitable to cooperate with Huaxing Group Company, and it is really impossible to find a few companies that make so much money in China.
After staying at Hongdu Aviation Group Company for two days, Yang Jie flew to Chubei Province to visit the Naval Engineering University.
In fact, in recent years, the Naval University of Engineering and Huaxing Group have also carried out a lot of R&D cooperation in fuel cells and motors, radar communications, and electrical engineering.
The Naval University of Engineering is world-class in the electromagnetic compatibility engineering technology of the power system, mainly because of the existence of such a genius as Ma Weimin.
Genius is very rare, how many years does it take for a country to produce so many, but the role of genius is to make a country push a country to a very high height in a certain field, which is not at all something that can be exchanged for money.
Others say that Yang Jie is a genius, but he knows in his bones that a large part of his current height is due to his identity as a reborn, and many technical solutions are engineering and technological innovations, so he has no pride and can maintain a sober state.
"Professor Ma Weimin, hello!"
Yang Jie smiled and shook hands with the short-haired Professor Ma Weimin in front of him, who is in his forties this year, really in the prime of life, wearing a navy uniform.
"Yang Shao, this time I finally saw you, a god. Professor Ma Weimin said with a smile.
"Professor Ma has won the award, you are a genius in the integrated power system of ship power. Yang Jie smiled and shook hands with Professor Ma.
Professor Ma Weimin began to track the research and development of military ship integrated power system more than 10 years ago, these Western countries take the technical route of medium voltage AC integrated power system, and Professor Ma is in the comprehensive consideration of the development of medium voltage DC integrated power system technical scheme.
The military leadership believes that the technical span is too large and does not support this technical plan, so Professor Ma has to carry out research in this area at his own expense.
After learning the news, Yang Jie also asked the company's personnel to find Professor Ma and the relevant leaders of the Naval University of Engineering, and reached a cooperation agreement on the development of the ship's integrated power system and propulsion system.
The Naval University of Engineering also allocated R&D funds from Lede Huaxing Group, and Ma Weimin also served as the chief scientist of the cooperative project.
Professor Ma Weimin led the technical team to work tirelessly and made different progress in the structural theory, system model and simulation, system interface design, system stability analysis and control of DC regional distribution module, medium voltage DC transmission module and integrated power system grid.
