Chapter 463: Transforming Wuzhi-9
"It's all mine?"
"It's all yours. ”
"It's okay to dismantle eight pieces?"
"It doesn't matter. ”
"Good. I took it. ”
"Signed. ”
"Good. ”
With a stroke of the pen, sign.
Since then, there have been five more helicopters.
To be exact, the 220 Research Institute has five more Wuzhi-9 helicopters. Note: Damaged. To be repaired.
Empty gloves white wolf!
How else is it leadership?
You see, there is no need to repair it. There will also be new helicopters arriving.
Killing two birds with one stone, what a good thing.
Fortunately, Wang Buan is not a picky eater. You give it to me, you want it.
The predecessor of the Wuzhi-9 was the French SA-365N "Dolphin" helicopter. Huaxia introduced patented production in the eighties of the last century.
The Wuzhi-9 should actually be called the Z-9, which is a twin-engine light multi-purpose helicopter.
A single turboshaft engine produces about 700 shaft horsepower. The empty weight is about 2 tons. The maximum take-off weight is about 4 tons.
The crew is 2 people, it can carry 12 people.
The cruising speed is 260 kilometers per hour. The maximum speed is 320 kilometers per hour.
The maximum range is 1000 km. The practical ceiling is 6700 meters.
The civilian model of Wuzhi 9 is called H410, which is used by public security police departments and so on.
In fact, the Wuzhi-9 is not a professional helicopter gunship. It is a multi-purpose helicopter. It's just that in the past, Huaxia itself did not have a professional armed helicopter, so it had to use a multi-purpose helicopter to convert it into an armed helicopter. Later, the Wuzhi-10 was developed. It is a truly professional gunship. Many times, Wuzhi-9 is made of soy sauce.
"The higher authorities have approved the provision of five Wuzhi-9s as test aircraft. Cheng Xiaoshan said excitedly, "In addition, our whole group is cooperating with the experimental modification research of the 220 Research Institute. ”
"The whole group cooperates?" Wang Buan said, "What does this mean?"
"We can do whatever you want us to do. In addition to not being able to fly with weapons. ”
"Oh. ”
Wang Buan immediately ordered to transfer.
The five helicopters that were damaged and waiting to be repaired were all pulled to the Qianzhou Industrial Park.
Broken belly.
Big unloading of eight pieces.
First of all, the first one was retrofitted.
The manipulator flies up and down, pierces left and right, tears and pulls.
In just a few minutes, a Wuzhi-9 with an intact appearance was completely dismantled into parts. Parts are scattered all over the place.
In fact, there are still some similarities between the Wuzhi-9 and the Bell 407.
All are light multi-purpose helicopters.
The carrying capacity of the Wuzhi-9 is slightly larger.
Compared with large helicopters, both of these are purely small and cannot be put on the table.
Its hovering ceiling is very low. There is ground effect, 2000 meters. There is no ground effect, only 1000 meters. Compared with the renovated Bell 407, it is simply not worth mentioning. At slightly higher altitudes, it won't be usable. If you can't hover, you can't use it. Otherwise, the earthquake relief of that year would not have been so hard.
The retrofit procedure is exactly the same as that of the Bell 407.
First of all, the engine is replaced.
It turned out that it was the engine that was damaged.
Take it out and throw it away. Replace the new ZM-100 engine.
The individual drivetrains are then strengthened. It was almost completely replaced. The parts which you don't need are thrown away, too. All kinds of discarded parts are also scattered all over the ground.
In the concept of Transformers, there seems to be no concept of neatness.
If it weren't for Wang Buan's special request, it is estimated that the entire industrial park would have become a big garbage heap.
Of course, the rotors are to be particularly strengthened. The blades should be widened, thickened and reinforced. The hinge is also particularly reinforced. to increase the lifting force.
The wing load will definitely be increased to more than 300 kilograms per square meter. Even up to 500 kg.
To increase the area of the rotor to more than three hundred square meters.
As a result, the maximum take-off weight reached about 100-150 tons.
Purely in terms of data, it surpasses the Mi-26.
Of course, this is theoretical data.
In fact, to be on the safe side, it is to be discounted.
In daily training or exercises, its load capacity will definitely be limited to less than 60 tons. That is, at the level of the 99A tank.
In other words, it is used to hang a 99A tank. But don't try it for larger loads.
It is only in real combat that its potential can be maximized.
If necessary, it can hang two 99A tanks!
"What did you say?"
"You heard it right, it's two 99A tanks. ”
"I ......"
Cheng Xiaoshan was completely speechless.
Two 99A tanks. Just don't be too crazy. That's 120 tons!
Previously, the carrying capacity of the Wuzhi-9 was about 2 tons. In order to free up every penny of weight, even the pilot's weight is severely restricted. As a result, you now say that it can hang 120 tons of weight, which is 60 times that of the previous one!
The Bell 407 is capable of hanging a Type 59 tank, which is already very powerful.
Unexpectedly, after the transformation, the Wuzhi-9 was able to hang two 99A tanks!
It's a pity that the fuselage of the Wuzhi-9 itself is too small to accommodate too many personnel and materials.
Large materials can only be hung outside.
Thankfully, the fuel tank was remodeled.
It can transport a full infantry squad. There is also some heavy equipment.
In the past, the Wuzhi-9 could only transport personnel and light weapons from one infantry squad. Don't count on heavy machine guns, mortars.
But now, it is completely possible to load an infantry squad, a mortar squad.
The weight is no problem at all.
The key is volume.
As long as it can be stuffed, you can take it away.
Personnel, heavy machine guns, mortars, and other weapons weigh less? Less than five tons of weapons.
However, it can easily hang dozens of tons of weight!
"Can you expand a little bit?"
"Not for now. ”
"Okay. ”
Cheng Xiaoshan looked very regretful.
It would be nice if the carrying compartment could be expanded. Deliver one platoon at a time.
It's a pity that someone else's original design is like this. Wang Buan is not easy to change. Otherwise, it will be a brand new helicopter, not the Wuzhi-9.
If you want to transform it like that, you might as well design it from scratch and re-produce it. Better performance.
When the engine is replaced, the avionics system naturally needs to be replaced.
There is also the flight system, which also needs to be improved.
And all the meters, to be improved.
It took 120 minutes to renovate. 30 minutes longer than the Bell 407.
Basically, except for the shell, the inside is replaced.
In fact, the shell is also specially reinforced.
The appearance is still the same, in fact, it is completely different.
The most important hook, naturally, has also increased. Sixteen sturdy hooks. You can mount a lot of supplies.
"Alright. ”
"Who's going to drive away?"
Wang Bu'an said to Cheng Xiaoshan, "Just fly away for testing." ”
"I'm coming!" Cheng Xiaoshan said impatiently.
"Go ahead!"
"Good!"
Cheng Xiaoshan boarded the plane immediately.
Check the individual systems. No problem. The engine is normal.
Take off quickly.
In an instant, it was a kilometer in the air.
The damaged Wuzhi-9 of the second aircraft was sent to the industrial park, disemboweled, and extensively remodeled.
The renovation time is still 120 minutes.
At this time, the Wuzhi-9 piloted by Cheng Xiaoshan had jumped to an altitude of 8,000 meters.
He continued to challenge the sky.
9000 m ......
10000 m ......
11000 m ......
12000 m ......
Successfully broke through the 12,000-kilometer mark.
However, the rotor area of the Wuzhi-9 is larger than that of the Bell 407, and the ceiling is naturally higher.
However, it stopped at about 12,000 meters. I can't continue to shock. Cheng Xiaoshan repeatedly hit 13,000 meters and failed. Avionics System Alert: Altitude Restrictions.
This time, it's not a rotor problem. It was deliberately set up by Wang Buan in the avionics system.
There's no need to be too high. 12000 meters is enough.
You're a helicopter!
You're not a fighter!
What are you going to do that high?
At an altitude of 12,000 meters, it is enough to climb anywhere in the world.
The height of Mount Everest is just over 8,000 meters.
The hovering height of Wuzhi-9 is enough to surpass Mount Everest, which is more than enough.
Sure enough, Cheng Xiaoshan began to try to hover.
It was successfully hovered at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
The engine is stable.
There is no surge, whistling, shivering.
Satisfied.
Very satisfied.
Cheng Xiaoshan is simply eager to write a big word.
Why didn't such a powerful turboshaft engine appear twenty or thirty years in advance? If it had appeared in advance, Huaxia would definitely be a helicopter powerhouse now.
30 minutes passed......
60 minutes passed......
90 minutes passed......
Hovering is still very secure. No anomalies were observed.
Two hours later, the second Wuzhi-9 also hit an altitude of 12,000 meters, and then successfully hovered at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
Subsequently, the two modified Wuzhi-9s quickly lowered their altitude and staged a low-altitude raid.
After all, low-altitude combat is the main task of the Wuzhi-9.
Maneuverability at low altitudes, as well as speed, is very important.
In accordance with the requirements of the training subjects, the two Wuzhi-9s carried out intense low-altitude flight training.
Cheng Xiaoshan made another unexpected discovery.
The retrofit is very fast. The fastest is close to 380 kilometers per hour.
The speed is fast, which means that the time to engage the enemy is shortened. This means that when raiding an enemy, you can move faster. When evacuating, it will also be cleaner and neater.
Because the power of the engine is too strong, many difficult actions have become easy.
For example, the spin roll of the body in the seventh level of action.
There is also the spin of the body rolling back and forth.
There are also body spin augers and so on.
These are the most advanced control movements, and only a very small number of top pilots can master them.
These moves, whether it's engaging the enemy or getting rid of the enemy, are the most effective moves. However, it is not easy to develop proficient movements. It costs a lot of money. Fuel is expensive.
Well, now, with the help of the ZM-100, you can play as much as you want. Play until you throw up.
Cheng Xiaoshan himself is like this. After two or three hours of playing, he couldn't stand it anymore.
Had to land with regret. Then someone else will come up and play tricks.
