Chapter 637: The First Prototype

Tianfeng Technology Company, Chengnan Base.

In the huge No. 1 assembly plant, the first Y-30 transport aircraft prototype is being assembled, because this is the official Y-30 transport aircraft, after the final assembly is completed, this aircraft will also undergo a series of flight tests and verification.

More than a dozen assembly technicians are busy, judging from the assembly progress, this aircraft has completed the assembly of the main structural parts.

Some workers are wiring and installing the wiring and electrical parts of the aircraft, some are installing accessories, and some are installing skins.

The skin of the Y-30 transport aircraft, which is a major technological innovation, completely subverts the previous tradition, no longer uses aluminum alloy metal skin, but changes to the non-metallic skin of "Hercules" material, and the installation of the skin no longer uses the previous traditional riveting process, but uses self-locking screws.

The skin comes in a variety of shapes, basically similar to the shape of an airplane, and it is very quick and beautiful to put the skin on and lock it with self-locking screws.

In the past, rivets were riveted, and there were many rivet protrusions on the skin (mainly rivet heads), but now it is different, because there are counterbore holes in the skin, and the self-locking screws of the countersunk are used, and the skin looks very flat.

In the warehouse, there are also several assembly technicians busy, and the cargo compartment of the Y-30 transport aircraft is large and spacious, and it can transport dozens of standard containers at a time.

With experience in assembling the first test and validation machine, these assembly technicians are skilled, using all the most common assembly tools, and the assembly progress is relatively fast.

The general assembly of the whole Y-30 transport aircraft basically uses common general tools, and rarely uses special assembly tools, which shows that the daily maintenance and repairability of the transport aircraft are fully considered in the design. and routine maintenance costs.

Next to the transport aircraft, there are a total of four turbofan 30 engines, which are turbofan 30B engines, the turbofan 30A engines of civil large passenger aircraft, and the engines used by the Yun-30 and Yun-25 transport planes are turbofan 30B engines, and there is almost no big difference in appearance between the two. But there is a certain difference in performance.

The turbofan 30A engine is more suitable for large civil airliners, while the turbofan 30B is more suitable for large military transport aircraft, which can be used for harsher conditions and so on.

Li Tianfeng, Xu Lilong, Sun Kang, Zhou Zhou Ding, Lei Yong, etc. all came to the No. 1 assembly workshop, the huge No. 1 assembly workshop, there is a "black ghost" UAV production line, there is also the general assembly of the Yun 30 transport aircraft, and in the future, there will be the final assembly line of the Yun 25 transport aircraft.

See this huge, already embryonic Y-30 transport aircraft. Xu Lilong said with emotion: "Boss, it is worthy of the Yun-30 transport plane, it's really big!" ”

Sun Kang next to him said: "Not only is it big, but it is also very distinctive, and the first thing that looks is the thick fuselage." ”

The Y-30 transport aircraft is large, and the fuselage, although not the longest of all transport aircraft, is definitely the thickest and widest. It is larger than the An-225, the largest transport aircraft in the world at the moment, so at first glance. The most eye-catching thing is the very thick body.

Xu Lilong said with a smile: "Our Y-30 transport aircraft is nicknamed 'Big Fat', and its wide fuselage design is one of its characteristics. ”

While talking, everyone approached the Y-30 transport plane, first looked at the appearance of the plane, and then boarded the Y-30 transport plane that was being assembled with great interest.

Li Tianfeng is the same. Boarding the Y-30 transport plane, everyone entered from the rear of the plane, the huge hatch at the tail was opening, and the nose of the plane was also lifted.

Climb aboard the plane and walk into the hold. At a glance, you can see the other end from one end of the warehouse (because the head of the machine is lifted), and the warehouse appears wide and distinctive.

Because some of the skins and interior panels have not yet been installed in place, you can directly see the structural design of the warehouse and the shape of the structural parts.

Xu Lilong said: "Boss, although I am a layman, I feel that the structural design of this warehouse is not ordinary, this is our 'Tianfeng-style' structural design." ”

Li Tianfeng nodded and smiled slightly.

As the head of the design technology of the Y-30 transport aircraft, Lei Yong said: "Yes, this is one of the advanced designs adopted by our Y-30 transport aircraft, which is the 'Tianfeng-style' design, which has international patents. ”

This kind of structural design technology completely subverts the tradition, opens a new design door, and enters a new design field, which is more than a grade higher than the traditional aircraft structure design.

With international patents, this means that other aviation industry enterprises cannot copy such a design, if they also want to adopt such a structural design, they must be agreed by Tianfeng Technology Company and pay patent fees.

For such a structural design, its advanced and outstanding points, Li Tianfeng is naturally very clear, the Y-30 transport aircraft adopts such a structural design, and the Y-25 transport aircraft also adopts such a design.

Such a structural design not only greatly simplifies the process and greatly reduces the overall weight of the aircraft, but also makes the aircraft stronger, with higher structural strength and more durable.

Everyone took a look at the cargo hold, and Li Tianfeng was interested, "Lower the nose of the plane, let's enter the cockpit and take a look." ”

Zhou Ding immediately commanded the assembly workers, and the huge nose of the transport plane slowly lowered, and then Li Tianfeng happily entered the cockpit of the transport plane.

The cockpit is very large, but it is only a basic structure, and the avionics system, a series of instrumentation, control systems, etc. have not yet been installed.

Even without these things, you can see the advanced design of the cockpit, Li Tianfeng personally said: "The cockpit design of the Y-30 transport aircraft also took a lot of thought into us, using advanced digital control systems, and fully considering ergonomic ......."

Li Tianfeng personally introduced the design of the cockpit, and it can be seen that even if it is only a transport aircraft, it is not an advanced fighter, but the design of the cockpit is not simple, it is very advanced, not only advanced technology, very good operability, but also very comfortable.

The seats in the cockpit have been installed, and Li Tianfeng sat on the main pilot's seat with good interest, feeling good and very comfortable.

Xu Lilong even said: "Boss, if you have the opportunity in the future, I really hope to take the Yun-30 transport plane, and finally make a cameo as a co-pilot." ”

Sun Kang smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, do you know how to fly a plane?" ”

Xu Lilong said: "This is a transport plane, the requirements are not so high, I can't drive, I can learn it, I haven't eaten pork, I haven't seen a pig run." ”

Li Tianfeng also smiled, and then said: "Mr. Xu, even if it is just a transport plane, it is not so simple to want to pilot, but if you want to take the Yun-30 transport plane in the future, there are many opportunities." ”

As a manufacturer of the Y-30 transport aircraft, the executives of the company want to take a ride and experience it, which is not too difficult.

Everyone watched in the No. 1 assembly workshop for almost half a day, and finally, when they got off work at noon, everyone left here unsatisfied.

After watching the final assembly of the first Y-30 transport plane, not only Li Tianfeng, but also everyone was full of expectations, looking forward to this Y-30 transport plane flying into the blue sky as soon as possible.

………

In the office.

After taking a look at the Chengnan base in the morning, especially after staying in the No. 1 assembly workshop for so long, Li Tianfeng knew that in less than a month, the Y-30 transport plane would definitely be able to make its first flight.

The first flight of the Y-30 transport aircraft!

Thinking about it, Li Tianfeng couldn't help but be slightly excited in his heart, large transport aircraft, especially super transport aircraft like the Y-30 transport plane, is completely the embodiment of the strength of a country's aviation industry, such a large transport aircraft, often called a big country!

A big country with a heavy weapon!

The Y-30 transport aircraft is our heavy weapon! It is not only the embodiment of the strength of our aviation industry, but also the strategic airlift force of the Air Force in the future.

There is information that the military is considering the formation of a new airborne division on the basis of the Y-30 transport aircraft, the formation of strategic transport forces, and so on.

Sitting in his office chair, Li Tianfeng thought about the Y-30 transport aircraft in the final assembly, and also thought of the Y-25 transport aircraft that was about to enter the first verification and verification machine assembly.

Even, Li Tianfeng also thought of the large civil airliner that will be produced and manufactured in the future, this passenger aircraft, Li Tianfeng has drawn a large number of sketches by himself, these sketches are stacked, Li Tianfeng thought in his heart, in another one or two months, and then draw a part of the sketch, you can carry out the design and development of this large civil airliner.

However, it seems that there is no hurry, because the construction of Tianxin City Aviation City has just begun, and it is still early, after thinking about this, Li Tianfeng opened the website.

During this period, Li Tianfeng often watched the news on the Internet and paid attention to the situation of the Anglo-Afghan war, and a local war broke out between the two countries last month.

The navies and air forces were dispatched between the two countries, and more than a dozen air battles were carried out, including air strikes, strikes on ground targets, and air battles between fighters of both sides.

Where the war broke out between the two countries, many commentators and analysts pointed out that the Argentine side would certainly repeat the mistakes of the past and swallow the bitter fruits of defeat, but the development of the war greatly surprised everyone.

In the eyes of the outside world, whether it is the navy or the air force, Argentina occupies an absolute disadvantage, and the British navy, which was once the most powerful navy in the world, although it is now going downhill, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.

Needless to say, the Royal Air Force of Great Britain is one of the most powerful air forces, equipped with various fighters such as "Whirlwind", "Jaguar", "Harrier", "Falcon".

Such two countries seem to have a big gap, but the development of the war situation surprised everyone, and Argentina actually had the upper hand.

Li Tianfeng opened the website and saw another piece of heavy news!
