It is also sitting in the cargo hold to feel the design of the whole cabin, although the height of 1.5 meters can not meet the occupants walking upright in the cabin, but when people sit down, the whole feeling is still very good, at least it does not give people too depressed feeling.

After turning around, I looked at the hatch, of course, it was designed in strict accordance with the requirements of the army, and the large side-sliding hatch on the left and right sides was definitely a sharp weapon for rapid assault on the front line, whether it was to learn from the Black Hawk to install a general machine gun on the hatch to strafe, or the members quickly got on and off the plane, there was no problem.

And the tail hatch that the Z-18 has strictly inherited from the Z-8 must not be missing, otherwise the tasks of airdropping small assault vehicles and airborne paratroopers will definitely not be able to be carried out, and this is why the Republic of China General Helicopter did not choose the Black Hawk route before, it is really uncomfortable without the tail hatch.

"Very good, I see that the design in all aspects is in place, and the design and use requirements of the customer are strictly implemented, and I have probably asked the leaders of the three armed forces before, and they are still quite satisfied with the Z-18, so you must continue to maintain it and successfully complete all the development and flight test tasks."

The later visit, that is, to take a general look at the avionics design of the aircraft, Yang Hui only needs to take a general look twice and is not too interested to continue, because this glance can see that it is Li Yun's work, and the same type of avionics design has long been tired of it.

Only the staff who came with the arrangement to understand it were still talking about the excellence of the Z-18 avionics design, such as the origin of the avionics system, and it can be seen from this that the 602 Institute is very satisfied with the avionics design of the Z-18.

In particular, he said: "This is a breakthrough in the field of helicopter avionics design in our Republic, directly from the old mechanical flight control design, to the current digital flight control, the old instrument display in the cockpit, also replaced by the international mainstream glass cockpit, the design of the entire cockpit is improved from the avionics design of the C818 passenger aircraft, which is generally reliable and advanced." ”

The pilot's cockpit of a helicopter is actually similar to the spatial layout of the cockpit of a narrow-body airliner, with two pilots in parallel completing all flight control of the aircraft, so it is indeed feasible to choose to use the cockpit avionics of C818.

And this is also the fundamental reason why Yang Hui did not show much interest after reading this avionics design, it is really because this Nima has long been tired of seeing it!

"No need to introduce, I am satisfied with this avionics, for the overall design of this aircraft now, I am also very much looking forward to it, now the only requirement is to quickly change the livery of this aircraft to me, and you don't need to do any original paint design, directly use the army three-color camouflage is 10,000 times better than now, and see for yourself what this pure white paint looks like."

This inexplicable anger also made the 602 Zhi 18 chief division a little confused, is there anything wrong with this painting? It seems that the army leaders did not express dissatisfaction after reading it, so what is the situation......

"Don't look at it, the livery of this aircraft is indeed a little unsuitable, now take advantage of the opportunity to change it quickly, when the first flight can no longer be like now, in the first flight to be the aircraft can be amazing enough, and not a low predictability, the army's three-color camouflage is straight 9 just started to use, it is really good-looking."

This is talking about the people of Changhe Aircraft Company, also as one of the development units of the Z-18, they are also looking forward to the Z-18, as for the problem of painting, it is obvious that Changhe should be more knowledgeable.

After understanding the situation, where can you still sit and do not say: "Please rest assured Mr. Yang, we will change the problem of painting immediately, and we will ensure that it will appear with a new look in the next first flight, we expect to be able to make the first flight in May next year, and I hope you can come and see it again!" ”

The aircraft off the assembly line ceremony attracted the number one leader of the head office, and as soon as it came to solve the relevant test problems of the aircraft stealth design, if there are any deficiencies in the follow-up first flight, General Manager Yang will be in charge, and then you can rest assured.

Yang Hui didn't know that the 602 Institute still had these small ideas, so he immediately agreed, at least in the company's most significant projects, this 18 can also be counted as one.

"Okay, the first flight in May 95, now I calculate that there are about 4 months to go, you have to hurry up and carry out the relevant tests, especially the test work of the static machine, although the straight 18 is improved from the straight 8, but you know how big the change is, so the static test must be in accordance with the newly designed aircraft, and all the processes must go through it."

Reluctantly looked at this Z-18, it must be known that Yang Hui is quite optimistic about this helicopter, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has high hopes, not only because the three armies of the Republic urgently need the Z-18 This general helicopter.

And even in the whole republic, from history to the present, there has never been an export order for helicopters, which is related to the fact that the republic does not pay much attention to the development of helicopters, but to put it bluntly, it is subject to the overall backwardness of the helicopter industry.

Therefore, the straight 18 is also a sharp weapon that Yang Hui is ready to use to break through the zero export of the Republic of Helicopters, fortunately, at this time, the design of the straight 18 does have the potential for a large number of subsequent exports, and the future and Black Hawk, NH90, Mi 171 to compete for the world's general helicopter market is a must.

As for the civilian market of this aircraft, this should be considered in the next few years, and now it is better to do a good job in the military project, as long as the military market can be firmly grasped, the civilian market is relatively simple.

……

The development of the Z-18 is smooth, which makes Yang Hui have some ideas about the supporting MZ-2200 engine, as a turboshaft engine specially developed for the Z-18, its own origin is not small.

Probably I am the first aero-engine of the United Aero-Engine Company, and even the first aero-engine in the entire republic to adopt a full-authority digital system, which is a landmark existence.

Therefore, the trip to Zhuzhou 608 Institute is also very necessary, and when the group arrived at the 608 Institute, they got two news, one good and one bad.

The bad news is actually not too bad, that is, Yang Hui and his party just ran in vain, and now the MZ-2200 engine development and testing team is also stationed in the 624 Institute to test the engine at high altitude, and it will probably take half a year to complete the task, and then install the turboshaft engine flight platform from Ukraine for testing.

That is to say, this time Yang Hui and his entourage actually pounced, but fortunately, they got a good news for the first time, which mainly means that the company's joint venture aero engine company in Brazil is finally going to start mass production of engines.

At the beginning, the joint venture factory with Brazil actually planned to produce turbofan 10 and MS-4 engines, but later the Brazilians seemed to have a convulsion or something, this guy actually didn't want a turbofan 10, but wanted to purchase Pratt & Whitney's PW1120 and install it on the lightning fighter.

Therefore, the joint venture factory is now dedicated to the production of MS-4 engines, fortunately, this engine is indeed excellent, and the EMB-145 is also hot in the market as soon as it is launched, so the current MS-4 engine is a hot commodity in the low-thrust civilian turbofan engine.
