As Chief Engineer Wang walked into the conference room and sat down, the highlight of the AWACS project this time was also here.

Chief Engineer Wang has not only done early warning aircraft projects, but also various land-based warning radar and other projects before, which have been successfully developed and put into stereotyped use, and now he is definitely a technical master who is quite accomplished in radar, which everyone in the entire conference room knows.

Since the leaders want to listen to professional opinions, of course, they have to listen to Chief Master Wang, Yang Hui is just a half-level: "Chief Master Wang, take out all the technologies that have been pre-researched in the past two years, this time the country is determined to launch a real early warning aircraft, and we have to seize the opportunity." ”

Chief Engineer Wang, who has been running for early warning aircraft for several years, was already well prepared at this time, and he had full confidence in the early warning aircraft project.

I only saw that it was all kinds of information, Yang Hui had seen these things before he came, and he knew what they were, anyway, judging from Yang Hui's half-baked level of radar research, he was just watching a lively look, and these materials were too professional.

From this point of view, these high-level military leaders may not be able to see a reason, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry.

What Yang Hui didn't know was that these complex materials were deliberately taken out by Chief Master Wang, and what he wanted was to make people feel unclear, and only in this way could these leaders understand that the technology of Southwest Science and Industry was close to maturity, so as to let go of the early warning aircraft project.

Not to mention, these big leaders still eat this set, regardless of whether there is in-depth research on radar, the leaders of this circle are silently wearing glasses. He moved his chair again, and then sat up straight and prepared to study it carefully. It looks decent.

Leaned into his ear and began to mutter: "Master Wang, there is no problem with these materials, right?" Now so many leaders are watching together. If something goes wrong, it's a problem. ”

For Yang Hui, the general manager of Southwest Science and Industry, Mr. Wang said that there is no pressure on this thing: "Don't worry, these things are real materials, all of them are the results of our research over the years, and they are completely testable information. ”

(1)dǐng(1)diǎn(1)小(1)語,.》.o▼s_(); After communicating with Yang Hui in a whisper, the hearts of the two of them settled down, and they waited for these leaders to "read" these materials. I believe that as long as Chief Engineer Wang can satisfactorily solve the problems raised by the leaders, there will definitely be no problem in this early warning aircraft project.

After about a cup of tea, this time it was the Air Force that took the lead. Commander Wang finally couldn't continue to stare at these professional materials that he didn't understand, and after putting the materials on the table, he turned to ask about some aspects that he was more concerned about.

"I also took a general look at these materials, but I actually can't understand too much, this is really too professional. I want to ask now, to what extent has your Southwest Science and Industry Research done on this AWACS aircraft? ”

At this very moment. The other pretending leaders were finally liberated, and they all looked at it with a rather interested eye, and everyone was waiting for what was going on next for Chief Master Wang.

"If we want to talk about our early warning aircraft project, we have to talk about the Navy early warning patrol aircraft that were dismounted before. That project was for us to go to Grumman in the United States to participate in the research and development, and in the end, although the project was discontinued, dozens of our technicians learned a lot of technology there. Plus we also flew back a prototype from the United States, so we already have a very clear understanding of AWACS. ”

I heard Southwest Science and Technology talk about the prototype of the Yun-7 maritime early warning patrol aircraft in his hand. The Navy is the most vocal: "Yes, there was indeed such a project before. And in 89, just in time to fly back to China before that incident a plane was used for our Navy to test, but who knows that we just tested a few times, only after some basic numbers, and then because of the United States' face, our project could only fail, but the prototype did fly back to the southwest science and industry. ”

The navy has admitted it, that should be more reliable, and the Air Force Commander Wang then nodded with satisfaction: "I have heard of this project before, but I don't know what the specific situation is, so now what does Chief Wang mean to continue to do this project, or to redesign a large early warning aircraft?" ”

I don't know why the Air Force thinks like this, anyway, whether it is Chief Engineer Wang or the Navy, they will not plan to continue this project now, and the temporary design at that time was to meet the needs of the Navy for small-scale command operations and patrols, which is very different from the large early warning aircraft required by the army now.

Hurriedly denied this plan, Chief Engineer Wang had a better design: "This is definitely not good, our early warning aircraft must be a regular large early warning aircraft, the performance of at least reach or even exceed the United States' -2 early warning aircraft, otherwise the leaders here may not agree to launch the early warning aircraft project again!" ”

Seeing that Chief Master Wang's vision was so clear, even Vice Chairman Liu, who had been sitting there without speaking, couldn't help but applaud, and wanted to hear with great interest what the new plan brought this time was.

"Good! Just tell me what the plan is for this time, our country is now in urgent need of an early warning aircraft with excellent performance, and now so many of you can only look at you! ”

At this time, Chief Master Wang stopped talking, turned around and was about to go outside the conference room, but Yang Hui remembered something, and hurriedly asked Chief Master Wang to sit there and continue to report the project, while he went outside to get something in

"Come on, I've brought a model of this AWACS aircraft, and all the leaders should take a look at it."

The model is actually not big, and it only needs to express the general aerodynamic shape, but after Yang Hui put this thing on the table, everyone's eyes were fixed on this model.

The model is not painted, it is made of the simplest metal aluminum skin, but it is such a simple model, and it also makes everyone's heart pound.

If only this guy could really make it. It was definitely an AWACS aircraft with quite excellent performance, not to mention surpassing the American -3. But it's probably not too much worse to say that it's not too bad, after all, the maximum take-off weight of this aircraft is 100 tons!

What can't be concealed is the love in the eyes. Commander Wang even copied the model from the building near the water, held it in both hands, and held it high and high until he had seen all the details of this early warning aircraft, and then put it down with satisfaction and excitedly reported the situation to Vice Chairman Liu.

"That's right, Chairman! Our early warning aircraft should be like this, with a large mushroom disk, four jet engines, and a take-off weight of 100 tons, so that such a large early warning aircraft can meet the needs of our air combat early warning command. The huge carrier space leaves us with enough space to install equipment and more fuel for cruising, so we want this plane! ”

Compared with the appearance of Commander Wang of the Air Force, the navy is actually not much better, and it took a long time to react, pointing to the model and asking about the specific situation of this thing.

"Your plan is to use the H-6 as an AWACS platform, so are you sure there is no problem? Although we also want a large aircraft to be an AWACS aircraft, this bomber 6 is the basis of a bomber after all, and it can really do"

It turned out to be struggling with this problem. Chief Engineer Wang replied with great certainty: "There is no problem at all, the take-off weight of 600 tons of fuel is the largest aircraft that we can produce in China now, and foreign early warning aircraft use transport aircraft or passenger aircraft modifications." It proves that it is possible to take this path. But we don't have transport planes that can meet the requirements, and the speed of these propeller planes such as Y-7 and Y-8 is too slow, and there is no value to consider at all. ”

Then began to count the two jet transport aircraft that could be produced domestically. This makes Mr. Wang very regretful.

"The McDonnell Douglas 82 aircraft of the Modu Aircraft Factory was sold to the Civil Aviation Company, and their aircraft were also manufactured under the license of McDonnell Douglas of the United States. They forbade the conversion of civilian airliners to military use, so we had no choice but to abandon the McDonnell Douglas 82; As for the P-75 airliner project. We consider that it is still under development, so the performance should be unstable, and this aircraft is also purchased 30% of foreign key products, and it will definitely not be able to be used by the military at that time. ”

Chief Master Wang gave up using the P-75 as an early warning aircraft platform, and Yang Hui was a little puzzled at first, but in the end there was no way, it was really the truth that Chief Master Wang said, and if you want to use it militarily, you must face up to these problems.

Moreover, the maximum take-off weight of the current basic version of the P-75 is only about 50 tons, which is far from the take-off weight of 600 tons of fuel bombing, and the current order for the P-75 is already 500 aircraft.

The 172 factory over there is now about to be unveiled, there are so many orders for the oil six, and it is not easy to develop a four-engine large aircraft platform, and if you don't make good use of it, you are simply sorry for the hard work and large investment before, and when the time comes, there will be an order for the early warning aircraft body, and the 172 factory will be able to continue to hold on!

These situations are all considered based on the actual situation, and Yang Hui also said it together at this time while it was hot, depending on how the army chooses this time

"It makes sense, I think it is necessary to use the bomber 6 as an early warning aircraft platform, and we can't think that we can't do it if we haven't used bombers as early warning aircraft platforms abroad, so we have to dare to be the first in the world! The diameter of the fuselage of our H-6 aircraft is not small at 2.5 meters, anyway, it is much larger than the American -2 AWACS aircraft, and the Soviet prototype aircraft of the H-6 is Figure 16, and the aircraft is not also changed to a passenger plane 104, and the performance of this passenger aircraft is quite good. ”

It's rare for the Air Force to be so refreshing, Yang Hui felt his blood surging when he heard it, our republic is to use bombers as a platform to develop early warning aircraft, and if you don't accept it, you can also use bombers to change it, and now the countries in the world that still have large bomber production capacity are China, the United States and the Soviet Union, even if you want to other countries, you can only drool.

In the end, even the army side, which had not spoken, uttered two sentences: "Yes, how good it is to use the H-6 as an early warning aircraft platform according to this plan, your Air Force and Navy have H-6 in service, and isn't it very good to use it now, plus the logistics system has been built around it, and even the pilots will not need additional training in the future, so you should be content!" ”

With the layman's opinion of the army's big brother, it was determined at this time that it seemed that this was really the case, and it was simply a lot of benefits to use the H-6 as an early warning aircraft platform.

In the end, Vice Chairman Liu made a decision: "Yes, I think this should be done, and it is the best choice to use the six platforms to change the early warning aircraft, even if other foreign civil aviation aircraft are used by you, presumably you will not be able to do logistics maintenance." Okay, when the meeting is adjourned later, I will call the 172 factory and ask them to send someone over immediately, saying that there are good projects for them to do, and they are having a very difficult time there. ”

Seeing that the leaders above agreed to use the bombing oil six as the platform as an early warning aircraft, Chief Engineer Wang and Yang Hui were relieved, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with using the bombing oil six as a platform.
