Chapter 1060: Working overtime
readx;?Guiyang Aviation Base under AVIC Southwest Headquarters, now the situation of the entire base looks a little different from previous years, the same Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, in previous years, AVIC West completed the annual production and delivery tasks early, and then at the end of the year, openly looking for various excuses to release benefits, so that the employees of the entire company can live a lively New Year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Natured Novel ww
But this year is different, the ditch crisis is imminent, which makes AVIC Southwest, a military company related to the lifeline of national security, also have to cheer up, first all kinds of ways to do the second half of 95 years after the explosive growth of national defense orders, now the ditch crisis is still no sign of alleviation.
What to do? Preparations for war must not be left behind, and this is why there is the second special national defense fund of the state, and once again the procurement scale of two flight regiments, one regiment of J-18 and one regiment of No. 10, which has caused AVIC Southwest University to be still busy during the New Year.
At the end of the year, we can not relax, all orders are still in the process of living, and even at the production site has already been played: "sacrifice a small family, defend the country" The eye-catching slogan, looking at this is obviously not to fight each family for the New Year, but to prepare all employees to spend the New Year together in the overtime site.
The J-18 fighter in the outfield is also in this case, which is full of a long list, roughly counting the scale of at least eight fighters in the past, and important parts such as the cockpit are covered with camouflage cloth, but this still can't hide the unique aura of the J-18 fighter.
A group of people stood on the runway in a daze, looking at a row of big guys parked on the tarmac, and finally saw what the entity of the plane looked like, and it was really famous to not meet, and only after this kind of field investigation can we clearly understand how the design and manufacturing level of the aircraft is.
Seeing this group of camels from the Middle East so impatient, after Yang Hui stepped off the plane, it was all kinds of breezy clouds, to be honest, this JF-18 fighter really has nothing to look at, nothing more than the fuselage, wings, and then plus the motive, cockpit and other miscellaneous things, compared with other aircraft, it doesn't seem to be particularly strange.
This is to say that there are some differences, probably the design of the air inlet is a bit shocking, although the bulging air intake is reflected in the promotional CG diagram, but the drawings are never real to the truth, this is absolutely admitted, and you should be able to feel the difference when you get closer.
"We have arrived, this is where the company produces JF-18 fighters, before the production of Iraq's use of J-74 fighters, and then later the flash fighter jets have been produced here, but now all the JF-18 fighters have been converted, this time the UAE purchase order, after the determination of the production we can give priority to production, if the time is faster, maybe the second half of this year (96) can start the delivery work, at most three to four years to complete all the delivery work."
The news given by Yang Hui is very important, which mainly involves the delivery of fighters, especially for countries like the United Arab Emirates, which are eager to put new fighters into service, and the delivery of fighters can be arranged in the first time, which is generally difficult to do, and it is only in the special case of J-18 now.
Being able to deliver fighters at the first time, this is a very important advantage of J-18 foreign trade, after noting down this situation: "Very good, let's go over and see the plane, so close distance, the UAE has never been equipped with a heavy military fighter, although the power of this heavy fighter is still somewhat insufficient." ”
Regarding the problem of insufficient power of the JF-18 fighter, this is a consensus reached by both sides for a long time, and now the UAE side has spoken out about this issue, which is not a sensitive topic that is not suitable for talking, anyway, the problem of the power system is now bearable for the UAE.
Walking in front, Yang Hui also introduced the scenery along the way: "This is the whole airport is a test flight station jointly used by several subsidiaries of our Aviation Industry City, what we see in front of us is the JF-18 military fighter, in fact, in the hangar in the distance, there is still an air early warning aircraft parked, but today's early warning aircraft should not have a test flight mission, so it can not be seen." ”
The reason why I want to mention the problem of early warning aircraft is that Yang Hui is thinking about a question, will the UAE suddenly have a hot head, and then purchase a few early warning aircraft together, if that is the case this time, the order trip will be considered a complete merit, after all, they have been able to get a business jet order before, anyway, everything is possible.
The United States sells F-14E/F Tomcat fighters, but this does not mean that the United States will sell such things as airborne early warning aircraft to the United Arab Emirates, after all, early warning aircraft exist as a fighter multiplier, and its influence is too great, and even the impact on the military strength of the entire Middle East region is too serious, which is not conducive to the United States' Middle East policy.
The Air Police 1oo early warning aircraft developed by AVIC Southwest played a major role in the previous East China Sea conflict, but this is only known to the countries concerned, and the non-party countries do not have much feeling about the Air Police 1oo early warning aircraft.
"Hmmm! AWACS is a good thing, but the UAE does not have a deep territory, and AWACS is not too safe, so it is not very needed, let's take a look at the JF-18 fighter first, and after negotiating this order, we will talk about the rest. ”
As he spoke, he had already walked directly in front of a row of J-18 fighters, and some ground workers had been busy for a long time, one of the planes was testing the weapon system, and the ordnance keepers were struggling to load the fighters with cannon shells, and the scene was also orderly.
began to slowly introduce: "This aircraft is ready for weapon system testing, it is a necessary flight test procedure before the aircraft is delivered to the army, it is expected to take off in ten minutes, we can see the take-off of the J-18 here; And then here is the fuel filling; By the way, there is also this aircraft, this is a two-seat model JF-18 fighter, number JF-18B. ”
The two-seat model of the JF-18 fighter has been developed, in fact, the domestic army gave the code name is the J-18S fighter, but now in order to better describe the relationship between this aircraft and the single-seat JF-18A, the United States military aircraft numbering method has been chosen, which is just like the J-18 foreign trade model to start with JF is a meaning.
"Two-seater model? I read your promotional materials before, and at the time it was said that the development work had not been completed, but I didn't expect that when I came to see it this time, it had been finalized, and the efficiency was very high! (To be continued.) )
