The four-engine H-6 seems to sound a little incredible, how can this guy make four engines? This is no joke.

However, in reality, there is really a plan for the four-engine H-6, and this plan even manufactured a verification machine that year, codenamed 'H-6 I', after the demonstration machine was manufactured, the plan to verify the technical feasibility of the four engines on the H-6 was hastily discontinued.

The reason is naturally the problem of funds, and it is normal for economic construction to shrink national defense construction, and this is inevitable.

Six years after the launch of the H-6I, Yang Hui was once again reminded of the old story, and it was a pity to know that this project was a pity, and the H-6I and H-8 were both long-range bomber programs in the seventies, and even had a lot to do with the similarities.

The H-6I was dismounted, and it was dismounted after the early test machine was made, which shows that a lot of design work has been done in the early stage, and a lot of things can be saved by re-launching, and now this plan may have some reference significance.

Without thinking, Commander Zhang remembered the dismounted Fourth Bombardment: "Bomb 6 I, this project has already been dismounted, and it is still a pity to put it forward now, but this is also a helpless move." ”

Of course, the chief engineer of Xianyang Design Institute understands this project, and now this project is still remembered by Xianyang Design, and the four engines of the H-6 use the Spey 512 engine, which is the civilian non-afterburner version of the Spey 202 (turbofan nine).

Although the thrust of a single unit is not as good as that of the turbojet nine, the combined thrust of the four units far exceeds that of the two turbojet 8, and it also has a good performance in fuel consumption. The oil tiger of the Turbojet 8 is quite scary.

The H-6I test aircraft obtained data, and the range soared from the original 5,700 kilometers to 8,000 kilometers. The same uses the H-6I as a platform to manufacture tankers. The tanker didn't have to go far in the first place. The saved oil can be delivered to the oil collector, which is an absolute new breakthrough.

The Navy has a very persistent pursuit of long range, and as long as an aircraft is possible, the Navy has to find a way to increase the range, which is almost becoming the Navy's obsession. Commander Liu thought about it for a while, felt that there was a play, and said tentatively.

"It's hard to get back on the horse H-6I, this is a pretty good choice, but I don't know if we can find the previous information in this way, if possible. It's not impossible for us to restart the H-6I project. ”

The four-engine H-6I was developed, which is not only needed in the tanker, but also the subsequent H-6 manufacturing must also enter the four-engine era, so this order will definitely not be worried.

The tanker is a much-needed project, a project personally instructed by the chief designer, and the same four-engine H-6 platform. At this time, changing the skin and changing to a refueling machine platform may be able to come back to life, and the so-called leadership preference is really not a joke in a centralized country.

Hearing that the army was worried about the problem of information, Chief Designer Chen came from Xianyang Design. Naturally, everyone knows everything in the institute, and a four-engine bomber project that the whole institute has been obsessed with will not be lost in the information even if it is dismounted.

Standing up excitedly, he resolutely promised: "Please rest assured, leaders." The data of the H-6I and H-8 of our design institute are kept complete, and all the data are sealed and checked regularly, and now as long as necessary. We can take out the information right away, a lot. ”

I heard that Xianyang Design kept the design data of the H-6I intact. That's it. When there is no computer to store data, it does take some capacity to keep tons of paper data complete.

There were many reasons for the dismount of the H-6 I that year. One of the reasons is that in the engine, the Spey 512 was used at that time, and now there is a domestic information on the Spey 202, and it is just right to install the Spey 202, which happens to be a military engine.

Spey dismounted, but would it be nice to get back on the horse? Besides, the difficulty of this time will be much smaller, and the four-shot bombardment does not need afterburner thrust, which means that the re-launch of the turbofan nine does not need to be a large part of the domestic afterburner, which will be much simpler.

Is it okay to get back on Masbey? It's only been less than two years since I got off the horse, and I'm afraid it's a bit of a bit to get off the horse again

But is there still less of this kind of getting on the horse, getting off the horse, and getting on the horse again? The strong five of the year, the later Jian-h-7, and even the Jian-10 have been in turmoil.

Commander Liu saw that the Air Force was interested in relaunching this project, and felt that the Navy could still support it.

"Re-launched, four shots, six bombs, our navy and air force together to carry a sedan chair, must make this project. In terms of the engine, we can also study whether it is possible to launch the turbofan 9 again this time, this time we can reduce the difficulty of the turbofan 9, and we can get results faster without afterburner. ”

It is a bit difficult to take out a complete turbofan nine at one time, which is a bit difficult in terms of funds and time, and it is indeed a good way to make a turbofan nine without afterburner first.

Originally, I didn't expect to talk about the re-launch of the Bang 6 I this time, and I didn't have any preparation for the new Ma Si Bei, so I naturally didn't notify the Hongqi Factory, but fortunately, there was a great power in the imperial capital, and the chief designer who was directly responsible for the localization of Si Bei back then now needs to invite him over.

The Air Force is still quite realistic, and at this time it still knows that it is necessary to solicit the opinions of relevant parties, and Commander Zhang of the Air Force suggested.

"Regarding the relaunch of the turbofan No. 9 project without afterburner, we need to have Spey professionals, the current person in charge of the Hongqi Factory, and the chief designer Wu Daguan to attend the meeting, so now we are not busy talking about the fuel dispenser project, we also need to discuss it on the oil receiving machine."

If you want to talk about the oil receiving machine, then you must first speak by the navy, and now the most needed refueling machine is the navy, and the navy's choice of the oil receiving machine is that the new super seven is ranked behind the Jian-8.

When Commander Liu saw that he was talking about the oil receiving engine, he naturally had to talk about the super seven that the navy needed most.

"We already have plans for the oil receiving machine, we want to modify the current super J-7 to remove the rear cockpit, redesign the landing gear, and free up the heavy-duty anchorage, this new super seven multi-purpose fighter is what we need most now, we want to use it as an oil receiving engine, so our opinion is that the oil receiving engine is now super seven to do, and the J-8 oil receiving machine project will be put first."

Commander Liu's words indicated that the Super Seven would be used as the oil receiving aircraft, and the Air Force did not have much to say, whether it was using the Super Seven or the Jian-8 as the first oil receiving aircraft in China, they had no objection, because the Air Force now also has a great interest in the Super Seven as well.

Last time, after the General Staff of the military sent people to participate in the first flight of the Super Jianjiao-7, they came back for a meeting to discuss, not only the navy, but also the Air Force participated in this discussion, and the conclusion was naturally to vigorously support this new Super 7 fighter, and even some people in the Air Force suggested that other improved models of the Jian-7 should be deflated.

This is enough to see that the design of the new aircraft is advanced enough to threaten other J-7 minor modification models, but the Air Force is still a little uneasy about giving up other J-7 improvement projects.

The reason is naturally that there are great doubts about whether the new Super 7 will be able to finalize the equipment of the troops as scheduled, and the current Jian-73 fighter is the Air Force is more optimistic; after all, this time the Navy accounts for the majority of the Super 7 fighters, and the new aircraft will definitely be more focused on medium and low-altitude maneuverability and multi-purpose.

The Air Force does not need multi-purpose, what they need is a fighter with good maneuverability at medium and high altitudes like the J-7, and it would be better if the low altitude could be taken into account, the Air Force has a special attack aircraft in ground attack, so the Air Force and the Navy still have different needs in the performance of the Super Seven.

"We don't have a problem with this, but we don't need multi-purpose capabilities, we need to retain high-altitude combat capabilities, as well as the medium-range interception combat capabilities of the new aircraft." (To be continued......)
