Chapter 542: Finally figured out the situation
"What about other aspects of avionics?" After finally learning about the main cockpit display system, Zhang Lan asked Varoga. Although she didn't have much hope, Zhang Lan still hoped that these guys could give her some surprises, even if it was just a little.
"We have been engaged in these things for a while, and we have used all the research strength of our entire electronics research laboratory, and other avionics technologies are still at the level of technology we brought when we first entered China." Varroga made no secret of this, and even added one point, "It's just the technical level, we still have the corresponding production equipment, although we can produce some samples through laboratory equipment, but if it is mass-produced at that time, this will definitely not work." ”
Speaking of this, Varroga looked at Xiao Chenxi and Alice with a fanatical expression, "But under the leadership of the two teachers, after we have studied this cockpit display system and communication and navigation system that can definitely be ahead of the times for more than 20 years, the next step is to focus on studying the remaining avionics systems." ”
Is that so? Zhang Lan looked up at Xiao Chenxi and asked for her opinion.
Xiao Chenxi nodded, but in fact, it was. \//\ The entire electronic research laboratory seems to have a lot of people, but compared with the size of the research team of hundreds or thousands of people in each research institute during the Soviet period, it is still far from the research force of only hundreds of people, and a considerable number of these people are not the most important researchers in the Soviet era, and there are no more than ten designers who have reached the chief engineer level in electronic research recruited by Singh.
If it weren't for the guidance of Xiao Chenxi and Alice, these guys would have a good foundation and are willing to work hard. Coupled with the researchers who joined it one after another, even this cockpit display system could not be taken out in such a short time.
Zhang Lan attaches great importance to the cockpit display system for a reason, what is the scientific and technological content of an aircraft, ordinary people naturally cannot get into the engine or circuit to see, then the cockpit has become the most intuitive impression of the place, if a glance looks full of various flight instruments as if it is the antique aircraft cockpit during World War II, compared with a glass cockpit display system full of science and technology, even if it is exactly the same in other places. Which aircraft gives the impression that it is more upscale? Of course, the one with a glass-based cockpit display system.
This is similar to car design, and the Japanese are very fond of playing with this trick when it comes to car design, and the exterior, interior, center console, and other places that everyone can see, are all done to perfection, and people will like the car at a glance. It's just that the chassis, engine, gearbox, body frame structure, etc., where these eyes can't see, are able to cut corners.
I don't have this idea myself, but I still have to learn how to value sensory experience in Japan. This has also been proven to work: the same product, the one with the better sensory experience, even if the cost is the same, is much more expensive than the price of the one with a slightly worse sensory experience. And you can buy land very well.
Now these guys are starting to engage in other avionics research in addition to the cockpit display system, Zhang Lan feels quite relieved in his heart, and just hopes that these guys will achieve results as soon as possible in high-performance data bus, optical fiber transmission system, airborne high-stability redundant computer system (general-purpose synthetic processor), synthetic electronic system and radar system, although these things are not used even by ordinary large aircraft. \\/\But there will come a time when it will be used.
These guys have the foundation they learned before the Soviet Union, Zhang Lan thinks that there is no problem that these guys can succeed, but when they can come up with products that meet their own requirements is what they are most concerned about. Although there is no problem with using the technology that these guys are now mastering to make the avionics system, Zhang Lan doesn't want to fall behind at the start, giving people such a bad image that Alice Group's aircraft are backward products: just look at the current Alice Group's motorcycle and automobile products, mention the Alice Group's motorcycle and automobile products. The first impression of the people is high-end, the second is luxury, and the third is high technology.
"That's right." Zhang Lan suddenly thought of something and said to Varoga, "I will add another task to you." "What task?" Varoga asked curiously.
Hearing Zhang Lan say this, he really wanted to know what kind of wild ideas this little boss who often had amazing ideas could come up with this time.
Hearing Zhang Lan say this, the guys in the venue didn't change their expressions much, for them, there is work to do? That's a good thing! As long as you have a job to do, it means that you don't just have money to get. \\\ And there are high bonuses and benefits. What a good thing! This is a high treatment that I couldn't enjoy when I was happy to die in the Soviet Union.
"Research on autonomous driving systems." Zhang Lan said, "How is it?" Questions? ”
"What kind of requirements do you need to meet?" Varoga frowned and asked, he didn't ask nonsense like "can I choose not to accept this task" at all, everyone knows that the boss gave himself such a high salary just to make himself work, and he didn't have to work without such good conditions in the Soviet era? Now that you have such favorable conditions, what else do you want? Everyone understands the truth that if you don't work, you won't have food.
The original intention of the autopilot is to reduce the fatigue of the pilot in long-distance flight, so that the aircraft can automatically fly with a certain attitude, heading, altitude and speed according to the instructions in accordance with a set of pre-set procedures when the aircraft is unmanned or the pilot does not carry out various control actions. The application of this technology first appeared in the thirties of this century, and was designed to reduce the fatigue of long-range bomber pilots flying aircraft for long periods of time. \\\\
As soon as this technology appeared, it was liked by the pilot, and no one wanted to fly for most of the day with high nervous tension, and then the technology developed rapidly, and now, almost any aircraft: whether it is a military aircraft or a civil airliner, has an automatic driving system, and even if it is a military helicopter, there is an automatic driving system. ,
Well, the exception is small private propeller aircraft and small private helicopters, the people who buy these aircraft do not spend their own money like the state, so they only care about performance; It's not as rich as billionaires, and spending a lot of money is common for them; Limited to the cost factor, this kind of thing for the common people to play will naturally not be equipped with these high-tech things, as long as it can fly.
To achieve the purpose of aircraft automatic driving, it is necessary to achieve through a series of equipment, generally speaking, to achieve this requirement, in terms of hardware facilities, at least through the inertial gyro navigation device with the GPS global positioning system composed of GPS/IN integrated navigation system, in order to determine their own bearing, heading, status and altitude at any time, and then through a special set of computer system software to calculate, in order to calculate the most suitable way of navigation, The autopilot then executes the corresponding autopilot commands.
But this is not enough, this is only the most basic, with the development of the times, the safety requirements of the automatic driving system are getting higher and higher, the requirements of the automatic driving system for the control software are more stringent, the modern automatic driving system has begun to move towards the direction of digitalization and intelligence, the adaptive and neural network and other advanced computer control algorithms are intuitive and important in the software programming, and the sensitivity of the aircraft to weight also requires this set of hardware equipment to be small in size, light in weight and high in integration.
"Intelligent, digital, and anti-interference," Zhang said, "small size, light weight, and high integration." ”
This requirement seems to be a bit difficult for Lao Maozi, who is good at machining rather than electronic manufacturing, especially the redundant computer system of the autonomous driving system, which is even more of a challenge for these guys.
It's just that Zhang Lan didn't expect it, this guy just frowned, "The problem of hardware is easy to say, the most important thing is the software problem," Varroga motioned to all the staff of the electronic laboratory present, "It is very difficult for us to program the automatic driving system." ”
"Leave the software to us." Alice said, "As long as you can take care of the hardware equipment, the software will be left to us." Well, on the issue of hardware design, if you have any questions, you can also ask me. ”
Everyone present knew that Alice didn't say big things, although no one knew how strong these two young little bosses were, but this did not prevent them from worshipping Xiao Chenxi and Alice's profound skills; Since these two little bosses, who are regarded as teachers, said that the problem of software was handed over to them, it is really not a big problem.
Well, with these two girls, there really isn't any problem. Zhang Lan also thinks so.
"The two teachers also have to study ADA software," only Varoga is still a little worried, "plus this set of software for the autonomous driving system, such a heavy research task, no problem, right?" ”
"Of course no problem!" This time, it was Zhang Lan, Xiao Chenxi and Alice who spoke in unison.
After knowing the research results of the avionics system, Zhang Lan was finally relieved: although it will take two years to come up with a complete aircraft electronic system at the earliest, compared with the development time of the entire aircraft, if the entire avionics system can really be completed in two years, Zhang Lan will have to kowtow to the gods and Buddhas.
