The final assembly line is not the first flight, there is a very big difference between the final assembly line of an aircraft and the first flight of the aircraft, and now the aircraft can be rolled off the assembly line just to prove that the factory has the technology and ability to make the aircraft, but if you want to make the first flight, there must be a lot of troubles to be the same.

I accompanied the plane to the test workshop, where the prototype will be tested for various numbers, when the number jù meets the requirements, or some other numbers do not meet the requirements, but it is tolerable that it is possible to approve the aircraft to be used as a follow-up scientific research test, whether it is used as an engineering test flight, or it is impossible to fly into the blue sky for life by being put on the iron bird test bench, anyway, they all have their own uses, and each corresponding project test needs to have a test machine.

"Let's go ahead for testing, I think a few prototypes behind you should also be in production, I hope that the first flight of the 10th can be as good as possible, and it will be best before the Su-27 is delivered to China."

Of course, the 611 Institute on the side of the Su-27 also knows, as a big competitor of the No. 10, the Su-27 has been concerned by Yang Wei and other scientific researchers of the No. 10 project, everyone is waiting for the No. 10 to quickly test fly, finalize, and then fight with the 27 real swords and guns, so as to know who is superior and who is inferior.

Raising his hand, he pointed to the area of the assembly workshop, and proudly introduced the manufacturing situation of the prototype: "In the assembly workshop over there, there is now a 63% construction progress of this No. 2 prototype, which is expected to be off the assembly line at the end of the year, and then can be tested on the ground, and the first flight is expected to use it, and we plan to carry out it in the middle or second half of next year." The same. There's also a No. 3 machine in the more freshly cut manufacturing parts, which will be used to test the avionics radar system."

It's unconscious. The progress of Project 10 has reached this level, and it is indeed planned to make its first flight next year. At that time, it will definitely be able to catch up with the delivery of the Su-27, which is quite fast, and the speed is not inferior to the southwest science and industry, if it is done well, you can see the mass production of the tenth in 95.

I looked at the No. 1 machine that was pushed into the test workshop just now, and I just said that the No. 2 and No. 3 planes were used for the first flight and avionics test, and the No. 1 machine must be tied to the iron bird platform, and if nothing else, it should be tortured physically and mentally exhausted, and it was xx in various positions. At last

"It's not bad, now this plane is used for static force, you can complete all the tests on this, so that the future fighter test flight will be safer and bottomless, which is really good. But have you ever thought about what problems will be encountered on the way to the refitting and delivery of this aircraft in the future, as well as the pilot training of the third-generation aircraft and other problems, after all, this is my country's first canard aerodynamic layout fighter, and there must be a process for the pilot's redress. And do you have any corresponding measures, if not, you can consider developing a supporting ground simulation training system? ”

The research and development of the simulation training system, which is a project proposed by Liyun before, has now been approved and pre-research work has been carried out in Southwest Science and Industry. In the future, the 18th will definitely develop a supporting flight simulation system, and the reason why I want to ask Yang Wei now is that I still fancy the strong ability of the 611 Institute in the development of digital fly-by-wire flight control. The No. 10 who wanted to go to the first place was to complete the static test directly on the Iron Bird test bench on the ground, and at the same time find a way to develop supporting equipment on the basis of the Iron Bird Table. A lot of test flight projects were simulated on the ground.

Not to mention, it's because Project 10 uses this set of technology. In the subsequent first flight, engineering test flight, test flight of various subsystems, finalized test flight did not have any situation, even the subsequent 10S, 10B, Thunder, and even the 20th, did not have much problem in the test flight, crashed, this is a very remarkable achievement in the world, whether it is the United States, the Soviet Union, or Europe, these have crashed in the exploration of fly-by-wire flight control, and the fall is too normal.

So why 611 can be this cow, it is precisely because people can simulate some high-risk flight test projects in advance on the ground, which is enough to show that 611 has a very set of flight simulation, and now it is not wrong to develop a flight simulator and pull 611 to feel right.

"Ground flight simulation system? This is a good thing, in the eighties, the domestic test pilots went to France to test the Mirage 2000 aircraft, and tried the ground flight simulation training system developed by Dassault, according to the feedback back from the news, now the West has gone out of a correct flight simulation road, especially for the use of digital flight control aircraft, the use of ground simulation system is more convenient and real, before we 611 are also considering this thing, but I didn't expect that it was really a hero to see the same, if Southwest Science and Industry has a heart, It's certainly great that we're working on this stuff together. ”

"Heroes see the same thing", this is a good saying, and sure enough, they all thought of going together. Since 611 has this idea, there is a greater possibility of cooperative development, and it will be good for everyone to make money together when the time comes!

also put aside the matter of the tenth for the time being, anyway, there is nothing to care about: "That's good, we need technical talents like you, old classmates, although Southwest Science and Industry has been pre-researched by the state, but you should also know that this kind of thing is not in a hurry, we have to develop the flight control of No. 18 on the one hand, and on the other hand, we have to develop a supporting avionics system, so our technical strength is not enough, and the development of the ground simulation system also needs to have a complete number of flights. This meant that we needed a stereotyped aircraft with a digital flight controller as the target for simulation. ”

As soon as I heard that the aircraft can only be developed after the simulation system is finalized, then this must refer to the No. 10 project of my own home, and the first flight will be carried out on the tenth next year, which should be the digital fly-by-wire flight control fighter closest to the finalized state, although the 18th can also be, but I am afraid that it will be a period of time on the 10th at night.

Pull on the Southwest Science and Industry to work together to develop the ground flight simulation system of No. 10, which sounds very exciting: "Well, we will choose No. 10 as the target to be simulated, and then we must make a first-class ground flight simulation system, so that those guys in the West can also take a good look at our technology is not weak at all." ”

Do the simulation training system of the 10th first? This is not a good idea: "No, no, I don't mean to do the ground simulation system of the Tenth, although the tenth is about to make its first flight, but its finalization may not be possible until 95 years, this time can not be wasted, I already have a better goal, and to tell you the truth, the MPC-75 will make its first flight in September this year, the flight envelope of the large aircraft such as the passenger plane is more complex than that of the fighter jet, the test flight time can be shorter, and the development of the simulation system is also slightly simpler, Therefore, in any case, it is necessary to develop the MPC-75 flight simulation system to practice our hands. ”

The flight test of a large passenger aircraft does not take too long, the more troublesome is the certification of the airworthiness certificate, which usually takes nearly a year, which is still the kind of Bomai Air Big Three that developed the aircraft in accordance with the airworthiness certificate at the beginning, and has always been responsible for the airworthiness certificate investigation of the relevant personnel have been following up, according to the schedule that Yang Hui obtained, MPC-75 to complete the flight performance test flight work is in 93 years, and then there will be one to two years for flying in the certification, route test operation and so on

And it happens that this 93 years is also a good node, when the 611 side of Yang Wei's team, Southwest Science and Industry Liyun team have completed their 10th, 18th flight control, avionics overall design, can be put into the development of the ground simulation system, and a few years later after the development of the MPC-75 simulation system, not only can just be put into use, but also the two fighters have also completed the finalization, at this time the development of the simulator is much simpler.
