Chapter 138 An-225 Super Transport Aircraft

This is a set of design drawings for a transport aircraft produced in the Soviet Union, but the drawings are incomplete, only for the engine and the shape of the aircraft.

The transport aircraft produced in the Soviet Union include the Il-76 series and the An-225 models, especially the former, which was designed in the early sixties and became a great success after being used in the seventies and becoming the main transport aircraft of the Soviet Union.

The Il-76 transport aircraft is 48 meters long, 14 meters high, with a cabin diameter of 5 meters and a wingspan of more than 50 meters.

The maximum take-off weight is 190 tons, the cruising speed is about 800 kilometers, the cruising altitude is 10,000 to 12,000 kilometers, and the cruising range is 4,000 to 5,000 kilometers.

It can be said that the Il-series transport aircraft are also quite good in the world, which is comparable to the American C-17.

The Soviet Union has manufactured more than 500 Il-series aircraft in recent years, but in recent years, because of the decline in national strength, these aircraft are basically idle.

The drawing in front of him is not the Il-series, but the transport aircraft named An-225, which is the reason why Liu Lang is ecstatic.

"It's an An-225 transport plane, it's incredible!"

Liu Lang exclaimed again and again, everyone came over, Liu Lang was so excited, obviously this is a baby.

Of course, it's a baby, because this is the largest transport aircraft in the world, so big that even the United States covets it, and even more than twenty years later, it did not surpass its birth of a transport plane, and at that time, there were only two left in the world, and the relevant drawings had long since disappeared with the collapse of the Soviet Union.

How awesome is the An-225 transport plane? The instructions on the drawings are clearly written, 73 meters long and 21 meters high, and its maximum take-off weight has reached 600 tons, which is four times that of the Il-76, and the cargo hold can carry more than 250 tons, and in addition to the cargo hold, the top of the fuselage of the An-225 transport aircraft can also reach a load capacity of 200 tons.

The maximum speed can reach 10,000 meters, which is similar to that of the Il-76, but the maximum cruising range is 15,000 miles, which is three times that of the latter.

The plane can carry up to 1,500 people, of course, the transport of troops is too small, it can transport ten heavy tanks, or more than 20 armored vehicles, or the equipment of a regiment, and even the train carriage can be driven in and fly together, this is an airplane, it is simply a castle in the sky.

The strategic significance of such a huge aircraft is very obvious, you must know that people transport a trip of materials, you need to transport the times, the transportation cost and the time required are very different, and in a war even a second of time will likely affect a battle situation.

Now the Soviet Union has only one An-225 aircraft, in fact, until more than 20 years later, there is only this one plane in the world, because it was eight or eight years when the aircraft was manufactured, that is, the year before last, when the Soviet Union had been dragged down to the extreme by the war in Afghanistan, the national strength was exhausted, and the war ended after the aircraft was manufactured。

Although the An-225 is an "ornament", its strategic role is beyond doubt, even if the Soviet Union is now difficult to protect itself, but it is also a key protection for this big guy that can be called a national weapon, and I can't imagine that some of the drawings of such a national weapon were obtained by Kaminsky.

Of course, it may also be that he once participated in the design and manufacture of the aircraft, and this drawing was obviously not made by a regular design institute, but was drawn by Kaminsky from memory, obviously he should have really participated in this project, and he was also an important person, who had access to core secrets, but such an expert, now no one cares, and has become a vagabond, who will be finished if such a country is not finished?

Liu Lang held back his excitement and began to look through the drawings.

This drawing is the blueprint of the An-225 engine, the aircraft is equipped with four D-28T turbofan engines, each engine can provide 38 tons of thrust in takeoff mode, and the total thrust of the four engines is more than 140 tons.

This is too terrifying, the requirements for space engines are too high, Liu Lang can't even imagine what such an engine looks like now, but now he sees it.

The reason why the drawings are so detailed may be that Kaminsky is afraid that he will forget it in the future, but now it is cheaper, and this drawing is sold on the black market, and the Americans will not have a problem buying it for two or three hundred million dollars.

Of course, this drawing is still flawed for Liu Lang, that is, the engine material is not written.

You must know that the key to the engine is not only the structure, that is, the material, an engine with a thrust of 34 tons, must be a top-level alloy material, replaced with an ordinary alloy, and it will be scrapped after a fire, but unfortunately it is not indicated in the drawings.

Also, Kaminsky is an aircraft expert, not a smelting expert, and it is already a miracle that he can get this design drawing, where is it possible to get the ratio of materials, unless Liu Lang tries his luck at the special alloy smelter in the Soviet Union.........

In any case, Liu Lang's trip to the Soviet Union was too worthwhile, and he spent more than two million US dollars to get a priceless treasure, which was no less fortunate than winning the lottery, and the process was very smooth without encountering any danger.

Now that his goal has been achieved, there is no need to stay here, originally Zhou Hu wanted to leave by plane immediately, but Liu Lang decided not to take a plane on a whim, but instead took the Sino-Russian train.

The train, which began operation 30 years ago, connects Moscow and the capital, is nearly 8,000 kilometers long, and travels 130 hours, or nearly seven days, once a week.

It happened that there was a train tomorrow, and Zhou Hu hurriedly called someone to buy thirteen tickets for the luxury carriage.

The next morning, everyone got up for dinner, and then went for a walk around Red Square, which was not far away.

Moscow's Red Square is very famous, the square equivalent of the Chinese capital in the Soviet Union, and one of the few very famous squares in the world.

From time to time, the leaders of the Soviet Union held military parades here to demonstrate the strength of their country.

Liu Lang has long heard of Red Square, many major events in the history of the Soviet Union have a close relationship with this square, the most recent is during World War II, the German army came to the city, the Soviet army held a huge military parade on Red Square, the soldiers walked down from the square and killed directly to the battlefield, with their own flesh and blood to save the country.

Needless to say, the glory of Moscow's Red Square was not to mention that Liu Lang thought that it was similar to his own country, but only when he came here did he see that how could this Red Square be compared with China's square? It was simply not as big as the street square in Fucheng.

It is 150 meters wide, 700 meters long, and has a total area of more than 90,000 meters.

Of course, the surrounding Kremlin is very beautiful, a fusion of Western papacy and halal culture, which gives this small square some points.

Liu Lang paid for each person to buy some souvenirs, and took pictures to commemorate the occasion, until noon, several people called a taxi to rush to the train station, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, thirteen people finally got on the bus, and the journey of 8,000 kilometers began.
