United Passenger Aircraft Company is also located in the ancient city of Chang'an, and in Chang'an, an important town of the aviation industry of the Republic, the most dazzling is Yanliang District. There are 603 aircraft design institutes, 172 factories, and 630 national flight test bases (603 was written as 630 before, which has been changed, let's talk about it here) and now it is necessary to add the United Passenger Aircraft Company, and the entire Yanliang District is an aviation industry development zone at all.
In order to participate in the first flight of MPC-75 this time, Yang Hui also deliberately came here several days in advance, and it should be the first time to come to the new company, there are many places to see more and need to be familiar with it.
This time, there are quite a lot of relevant personnel from the Southwest Science and Industry Corporation, and some more professional people have also chartered a passenger plane from United Airlines with Yang Hui to fly directly to the United Passenger Aircraft Company. As expected, the plane landed at the airport of the original 172 factory, which is a place for its own people, so it doesn't need to be too troublesome to use, and this kind of landing at the airport is also the strength of United Airlines.
When the plane landed steadily, a group of people walked straight off the plane under the leadership of Yang Hui, for here, it is also a place that Yang Hui is more familiar with, a few years ago Yang Hui also sat here with the Jianjiao seven air oil type to watch the first flight of the bombing oil six, it has been several years since now, but the 172 factory has not changed much.
It is true that there is no change, the 172 factory has still relied on the production orders of the bombing 6 aircraft over the years, maintaining the operating rate at the lowest production rate, and the new Yunqi 100 is used as part of the capital of the 172 factory to invest in the United Passenger Aircraft Company, and the production of the Yunqi military model does not seem to be very good. The Y-7J military transport plane is still in the final finalized test flight, and there is no longer a shadow of the Y-7 training plane.
You don't need to look much to know that the current situation of Factory 172 is relatively poor, but Yang Hui has no choice but to hope that MPC-75 will complete the development work as soon as possible, and then there will be outsourcing work to make Factory 172 slightly better!
As a new company, most of the funds of United Passenger Aircraft Company have been invested in the research and development of MPC-75, and the construction of warehouses, factories, hangars, administrative areas, etc. is indispensable. It costs money on all sides. In order to save costs as much as possible, considering that the company and Plant 172 are in the same area, the factory was finally chosen to be built on the open space on the other side of the runway of Plant 172, and it is expected that the new aircraft will be towed to the runway belonging to Factory 172 through the Guò auxiliary road after it rolls off the assembly line, and then carry out various flight tests.
In general, in order to save the cost of runway construction that can take off and land large transport aircraft, the United Passenger Aircraft Company can be regarded as having exhausted all the ideas that can be played, and this is what Yang Hui is more willing to see, after stepping off the plane. I walked along the newly built auxiliary road (the auxiliary road does not need to take off and land passenger planes, and the construction cost is no different from that of ordinary roads).
The company is now building only the hangar, which is also the most needed place at present, and the rest of the factories and warehouses need to wait for several years to be officially put into production before they will be used, and it is not necessary for you to build it now, take your time, control the quality of the project while reducing the company's financial pressure.
After walking through the door, you can finally see the existence of people. First look. Yang Hui saw Chief Master Chen Yijian, who had seen him in the imperial capital before, and he was able to appear here this time. Does it mean that Xifei's Flying Leopard team has been disbanded into other projects, or has it started the road of transformation under the leadership of Chief Master Chen?
It just so happened that Chief Engineer Chen also saw Yang Hui's group at a glance, and Chief Engineer Chen, who happened to be sixty years old, had actually reached the statutory retirement age, but the special situation of the aerospace industry made it possible for important engineering designers to postpone some retirement time. Mr. Chen is in such a situation.
"General Manager Yang is here, let's go, let's go inside with me first, the No. 2 engineering machine of MPC-75 is in the closed hangar in front, and now the final inspection work is being done."
It's machine No. 2 again. That's right, at least this means that the No. 1 aircraft must have been pulled to do the static test, only after the static test on the ground, the follow-up flight test work can appear smoother, especially in the special field of passenger aircraft, it is even more necessary to do the static test.
For example, the ARJ-21 on the previous surface did not do a special static test, and at that time it was believed that most of the ARJ21 technology came from McDonnell Douglas 82, so there was no need to do a static test, which led to frequent failures in the follow-up flight tests, but it was a waste of time, and then when the C919 project was developed, it was finally honest to do the ground static test and other projects.
"Okay, let's ask Master Chen to lead the way, and let's go see what the real body of the MPC-75 project looks like!"
Yang Hui who spoke was even more eyebrows dancing, this is a passenger aircraft designed in accordance with the requirements of the civil aviation market in the Republic of China, and it should also be the most likely to succeed in an aircraft, once the design is successfully completed, Southwest Science and Industry has truly become a dual-use aviation industry giant.
Chief Engineer Chen, who was walking in front, heard that he was calling himself Chief Engineer Chen, and his psychology was actually a little lost, and the Flying Leopard was no longer a Chief Engineer: "There is no need to call me Chief Division, Flying Leopard has already been dismounted in 85 years, and now the 603 Institute has completely given up in the field of military fighters, and has fully entered the design of large aircraft, and we want to be the Antonov Design Bureau of Huaxia." And I, on the other hand, are now helping young people to pass on all the ink in my belly to the next generation. ”
It's time to prepare for retirement! It is indeed not very good to calculate the position of Chief Chef Chen, and he himself once said: "If the flying leopard becomes a good person, it is easy to say anything, and if it fails, the chief engineer himself will be ruined."
Now that the military aircraft route of the entire republic has become like this, although Chief Engineer Chen will not be ruined, he can only be regarded as an overall designer with experience in leading the overall design of aircraft, which is too much worse than the scenery of the previous one.
I have to say that history has changed too much, and there are gains and losses at the same time. Chief Chen failed, but how much more is there for this rising chief designer?
At least there are three chief designers of the aircraft of Southwest Science and Industry, and the plate of the industry is so big, and there will definitely be others to fail when Southwest Science and Industry becomes it.
Yang Hui's rebirth changed history, making the 011 base located in a remote mountainous area rise back then, and this move itself was a move of luck to plunder other related practitioners. In the Jian-7 series, the Jinguancheng aspect of this plane is obviously not as active as the previous one, this is because of the Southwest Science and Industry; In the aero-engine industry, this impact is not too big, anyway, the previous face has already been broken like that, and there is no luck to win.
Of course, the most important thing is that Southwest Science and Industry stirs up trouble in the international arena and grabs various international orders into his hands, Yang Hui can feel that it is precisely because of the rise of Southwest Science and Industry that it has snatched some orders from Dassault in France and Russia MiG-29 in the international market, which should be regarded as beneficial to the Republic and harmless!
If God had asked Yang Hui to go back to 83 years and go all over again, Yang Hui would still go down like this, although there would be some sacrifices, but it knew that it would get more by doing so.
"Okay, then Old Chen, go ahead! Either way, you're always an old-timer in the aviation industry. ”
[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )
