Chapter 845: Fifty Years of Waiting

This time, the four-shot six-engine body that came down from the production line of the Xifei factory has been specially modified for the early warning aircraft, and the improved aerodynamic shape is only optimized inside the fuselage, except for the small vertical tail installed on the left and right sides of the flat tail and the two ventral fins installed under the tail.

First of all, you can no longer be the kind of design that you have produced before, either the bomb bay is directly arranged in the belly, or the fuel tank is arranged, as the carrier aircraft of the AWACS aircraft, the most basic cabin floor must be paved from the front to the end.

Some of the pipeline interfaces that have been tested and finalized on the previous 01 test aircraft, this time the No. 3 aircraft are all reserved in place, and even the aircraft's avionics system has been slightly upgraded, at least the flight crew of the aircraft has become a three-person system, and the work of the navigator is directly merged with the communicator.

However, because the No. 03 plane that had just flown over was not equipped with a large plate, ordinary people could not see that this was an aircraft to be converted into an early warning aircraft, and the tarmac over there was also relatively far away, and a group of people who had been waiting outside the airport could only see a general shape of the plane.

At this time, Yang Hui's ears came to the German's words again: "It has been almost ten years since I first saw this type of aircraft, and at that time we had just begun to discuss cooperation on the MPC-75 project, and now when I see it, the MPC-75 has been in commercial operation for almost half a year, and this time is really fast!" ”

This should be the first time Yang Hui has met a German sighing that time flies, but it is also a little rare, and he happens to have a little feeling, so let's disgust each other together!

"This time has really gone by very quickly! However, the aircraft of the H-6 series is a little old, but fortunately, it is old and strong, like the Tu-95 and B-52 next door are still in various services, so our H-6 can also be repaired and fought for another 50 years. ”

This is a bit awesome, and it takes 50 years to fight for 6 and 50 years, that is, a guy like Yang Hui from more than 10 years later can say it in a grand manner, at least in the 90s, there is really no overwhelming talk of using old bombers to launch attacks with cruise missiles.

In the 90s, the most mysterious bomber was the B-2, and standing on the cusp were three variable-swept wing bombers: Tu-22M2/M3, Tu-160, B-1B, as for the Tu-95, B-52, H-6 aircraft of this class, it is true that everywhere can only be regarded as a human being.

I can't say too much about the bombardment of the country's heavy weapon, as soon as I saw Chief Nie coming over, the topic naturally also came to the Chinese chief designer this time, Yang Hui greeted him from afar, and after walking over quickly, the two also shook hands quite formally, and they still had to pretend to be in front of outsiders.

"Chief Master Nie, I asked you to come here in a hurry again, but I believe that you will definitely be satisfied with this arrangement, let's go!" Let's get out of here first. ”

Chief Nie, who came in a hurry, roughly knew a little bit about the reason for coming to him this time on the phone, and when he was over half a hundred years old, he was able to participate in and preside over the overall design of a brand-new aircraft, and Chief Nie was very happy, to say that designing a brand-new aircraft is almost the highest professional ideal that all aircraft designers dream of, and Chief Nie is of course not exempt from vulgarity.

glanced at the Germans next to him with the rest of his eyes, but he never felt that the Germans were so pleasing to the eye today, which was in response to General Manager Yang: "General Manager Yang is joking, now I can have such a good thing, even if you let me come all the way from Chang'an, I must come, not to mention that the plane I took this time is actually not bad." ”

Although the aircraft of the chief division Nie is a military H-6, but this is a specially designed and optimized platform for early warning aircraft, although the H-6 is inherently a little loud in the early design, but the turbofan 9 engine used now benefits from the design of its original civilian engine, so it still does a good job in noise control, plus the interior of this aircraft also tries to refer to the noise reduction interior materials of MPC-75, so the most criticized noise problem of military aircraft is not so obvious on this aircraft.

The reason for this is naturally clear to those who know, and those who don't know will probably only think that this is just a pretext, and no one will take it seriously, so a group of people once again went to the company's headquarters.

......

"Okay, now that we're all here, I'll make a formal introduction."

Yang Hui, who was standing on the stage, came to the side of Chief Nie: "This is the chief designer of Nie Zhongliang, as you can all see, he is the current chief designer of the H-6 aircraft you saw just now, and he was also responsible for the development of China's Yun-7 aircraft, until the chief designer of Jinchenko came to our company, the Yun-7 series of aircraft was officially handed over from the hands of Chief Nie, so now our AVIC Southwest officially announced the appointment of Nie Zhongliang, the chief engineer of the 603 Institute, as the Chinese design chief engineer of Xinzhong Transport." ”

At the beginning of this meeting, Yang Hui also directly announced that Chief Engineer Nie was appointed as the chief designer of the Chinese side, which can be regarded as directly stabilizing everyone's hearts that have not yet been settled.

Although Chief Engineer Nie already knew about this before, he didn't expect that he had landed less than an hour ago, and the big guys had just walked into the conference room and sat down, and he was announced as the chief designer, according to the usual procedures, shouldn't he still need to make a speech, and then there will be some inspections, and the appointment will not be announced until the end?

However, even though there are thousands of incomprehensions and doubts in his heart, now that he has announced his appointment, he naturally needs to stand up and take over this project.

"It's an honor, really an honor, to be trusted by everyone to be the chief designer of the Chinese side this time. To be honest, although I still don't know the specifics of this project, what I know the most is that this time it is a medium-sized transport aircraft to be developed. But, believe me, as a responsible and responsible aircraft chief designer, I have been preparing for this day for 50 years, and I know that this project will be the last big project of my career, and undoubtedly the most important, so I will do my best to do it, thank you! ”

After speaking, Chief Nie's eyes were also shining with tears, after so many years of hard work, thinking that the previous projects were all imitations, improvements, imitations, and improvements, I didn't expect to finally get an original large-scale project in the last ten years of his career, how can this not be exciting.

And the audience, whether it is the Chinese side or the German side, are also moved by this unpretentious words, of course, among the Chinese designers, many people also have the same feelings as the chief engineer Nie, the chief engineer has done imitation and improvement in the past few decades, and these sub-system designers must only be able to knock and make up for the old design.

It is true that the 603 Institute had a new aircraft design for MPC-75 before, but it was the civil aircraft project department of the design institute that was in charge, and the designers who stayed behind to continue to do military aircraft could be regarded as envious of the civil aircraft project department next door for a full decade, and now, it is also a sweep away the depression that has been accumulated in their hearts for many years.

As for the German side, it is even more delicious.

If it is said that the military aircraft project department of the Republic of China is only the 603 Institute has been waiting for so many years, and everyone has finally cleared the clouds and seen the blue sky, then Germany is based on the entire post-war national aviation industry, and the entire country's aviation industry has been waiting for 50 years, and this can finally be regarded as a large military aircraft project, which is even more indescribable after the heart is touched.
