A week later, Lockheed Martin technicians were finally allowed to land at Lingshui airfield.

At this time, the Chinese side has basically finished the process of cracking the EP-3 reconnaissance plane, and after the technical personnel of Lockheed Martin came over, they began to disassemble the plane, and the disassembly process lasted for about half a month, until July, when the Russian An-124 long-range heavy transport plane flew to the Lingshui military airport.

Such a large pile of parts and components obviously cannot be pulled at one time, and the An-124 long-range heavy transport aircraft ran a total of four rounds to complete the work.

A large Russian An-124 transport plane, loaded with parts and dismantling equipment of the disassembled US EP-3 reconnaissance plane, set off from Lingshui Airport in Hainan Province and flew via Manila and Honolulu to Georgia, the manufacturer of the EP-3 reconnaissance plane, where Lockheed Martin is located.

The disassembled EP-3 reconnaissance plane is scheduled to arrive at the Lockheed Martin plant in Georgia on 5 July, and it will take about eight to 12 months to reassemble it, followed by several months to install a new and improved avionics for the aircraft, and the US Navy and Lockheed Martin are still negotiating the cost of reassembling the reconnaissance plane.

Earlier, on 1 July, the Russian An-124 transport plane had transported some of the dismantled reconnaissance plane's equipment from Hainan Island to the Kadena Air Base in Japan's Ryukyus, without any parts of the reconnaissance plane itself.

After the U.S. and China reached an agreement in early June to dismantle the EP-3, EP-3 manufacturer Lockheed Martin sent 12 technicians to unload the EP-3 into several pieces, including the plane's wings, horizontal tail and four propellers.

In addition to the fact that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is still in some negotiations with the US side on the follow-up matters of this matter, even if the matter is thoroughly understood, Fan Wuxian has returned to the capital and taken this opportunity to take a good rest.

During a dinner with Minister Zhang, Fan learned that this time the military had gained quite a small amount; in addition to obtaining the technical details of various information equipment of the US EP-3 reconnaissance plane, it also obtained some important technical information of the P-3 "Orion" antisubmarine patrol plane.

The P-3 is also produced by the American company Lockheed Martin, which is a maritime patrol and anti-submarine aircraft developed at the request of the US Navy. In addition to equipping the U.S. Navy, the aircraft has also been exported to Canada, Iran, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Norway, the Netherlands and other countries, and is expected to enter service until 2015.

The most important of these is the acquisition of technical information such as the on-board AQS magnetic anomaly detector, ASA-64 underwater anomaly detector, ARR-72 sonar receiver, AN/ACQ-5 data link, and ALQ-64 electronic countermeasure equipment.

The main on-board electronic equipment of the P-3 "Orion" is powerful, including AN/APS-11 5 omnidirectional radar, LTN-72 inertial navigation and AN/APN-227 Doppler navigation system, Omega long-range navigation system, AN/AS flight control system, AN/ASQ-114 general data computer and AN/AYA-8 data processing equipment and computer-controlled display system, AQS magnetic anomaly detector, ASA-64 underwater anomaly detector, and AR R-72 sonar receiver, AN/ACQ-5 data link, and ALQ-64 electronic countermeasures equipment.

In the belly of the P-3C there is a weapons compartment, and there are ten pylons under the wings, which can carry torpedoes, depth charges, bombs, sunken mines, mines, rocket launch nests, anti-ship missiles, air-to-air missiles, etc., as well as various sonar buoys, water buoys and flares.

This newly discovered set of technical equipment and materials has greatly inspired the military, and it is of great benefit to understanding the antisubmarine technology of the United States and its allies, and it is also of great significance for reference to its own antisubmarine technology in China, and in particular, it is of great significance to fully understand the working methods and habits of some of the military of the United States and its allies.

"Then you guys have a very clear understanding of the US military's combat methods at once." Fan Wuxian knew that the greatest significance of this was not how much technical information he had obtained, but that he had a relatively intuitive understanding of the overall operational arrangement and coordinated operation mode of the US military.

We must know that in the past, similar reconnaissance planes of the US military were highly secretive, and ordinary people had no way of knowing the details of them, but at this time, they were clearly and clearly understood by us, and this is of great benefit to the formulation of a counterattack strategy in a targeted manner.

In particular, some technical touch-bypass can also try China's own similar technology research to avoid many detours.

Another very important factor is that in this technical data, improved extended-range echo ranging and airborne active receiver systems, advanced magnetic anomaly detectors, and advanced periscope detection radar technology have also been introduced, and after this improvement, the P-3 has significantly enhanced its anti-submarine warfare capability in shallow waters and coastal waters, and this technology has also fallen into the hands of the Chinese side.

Minister Zhang said to Fan Wuxian with a happy face, "Although some computers on the plane that recorded US military secrets were destroyed or thrown into the sea by them, some things on the plane itself cannot be destroyed. ”

Fan Wuxian nodded and replied, "It is also the bad luck of the Americans, it is okay to send the most advanced electronic reconnaissance aircraft here, which has cheapened us in vain, and at present, the Japan-US alliance and some American allies in Europe are very nervous, and they are changing the combat code one after another, obviously worried that we have cracked the core intelligence and threatened their integrated defense operations." ”

As the two of them talked, they talked about the big plane project.

"At present, the progress is not bad, the overall blueprint has been taken out, and with the engine samples and technical information provided by Russia, plus some of the technology we have accumulated before, if we want to come up with a new engine, it will probably shorten some time, and I estimate that it can be done within two years." Fan Wuxian said to Minister Zhang, "At present, there are some problems in the selection of some materials for the fuselage, and we are considering using a new type of composite material to manufacture the fuselage, which will be better than the original materials, whether it is in terms of tensile strength or anti-aging, it has great advantages." Or, in less than ten years, we will be able to see our own big plane. ”

After Minister Zhang mentioned this topic, he also felt a little excited, after all, this result can be seen during his tenure, and he is very happy to think about it, and he also said to Fan Wuxian, "This is very good, I am waiting for your good news." ”

However, Fan Wuxian moved the topic to the civil aviation system.

"The most serious problem in the civil aviation system is very unfavorable for large aircraft projects." Fan Wuxian said.

"What basis do you have for this?" Minister Zhang was a little surprised, and he didn't know if Fan Wuxian was referring to something.

The topic that Fan Wuxian said was mainly from the perspective of Fan's Airlines, at this time the civil aviation industry was once chaotic, and the combination of power and capital became a trend.

Similar to the telecommunications system, the civil aviation system still retains a relatively strong planned economy color, is a strong monopoly of the department, under the monopoly color, there are a large number of administrative examination and approval mechanisms, these approval mechanisms or links, once the lack of supervision, it is easy to become a black hole of power rent-seeking, in the civil aviation system, even if it is a very small department, because of the grasp of specific power, will produce a good benefit of rent-seeking space.

In fact, different departments of the Civil Aviation Administration of China are involved in the examination and approval of different links, such as the operation license of domestic routes, the operation license of foreign air transport enterprises, the joint, reorganization, participation and restructuring of civil aviation enterprises and airports, and the use of special equipment for civil airports.

One of the most typical is the issue of the license to operate domestic routes and the procurement of airport equipment.

In the era of the planned economy, airlines needed approval to open any route, which once gave the Civil Aviation Authority supreme power.

Generally speaking, the starting station of the route belongs to the two regional administrations, and it must be submitted to the regional bureaus separately, and some need to be submitted to the general administration for approval. In the case of a non-route operation season, the aviation enterprise needs to report to the Civil Aviation Administration of China or the relevant civil aviation regional administration according to the jurisdiction of the route operation license applied.

Routes and flight schedules are the lifeblood of airlines, but they end up in the hands of a few. In order to achieve the goal, the means used can be described as eight immortals crossing the sea. Among them, the charter business is even more blatant, because there is no constraint on the shell of the airline, the charter company is more blatant in bribing relevant people.

The original intention of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) in approving routes is to approve the qualifications of airlines, ensure the safety of passengers to the greatest extent, and make appropriate adjustments to avoid vicious competition between airlines.

In addition to the strict implementation of the approval system, the Civil Aviation Administration of China also stipulates that non-base airlines are not allowed to apply for routes that do not originate from their bases, which means that China Eastern Airlines, which is based in Shanghai, will not be able to obtain routes from its base in Beijing.

This situation is obviously very unfavorable to Fan's airline, so he doesn't mind crooking his mouth to some powerful people at a convenient time to add a little blockage to them.

In fact, Fan Wuxian does not have too many other party handles in his hands now, otherwise, he would have made trouble for the civil aviation industry through formal channels.

As for now, I can only use the pretext of the large aircraft project to express a little dissatisfaction with the Civil Aviation Administration, which is better than nothing.

But Fan Wuxian also firmly believes that as the so-called three people become tigers, once they talk too much, everyone will always form a consensus, especially these people who listen to their own chatter, they are all respected big people.

I'll go to Boss Zhu tomorrow to talk about it, that's what Fan Wuxian thought when he left Minister Zhang's office.

There are no pop-ups
