Wu Hao shook his head with a smile: "No, we don't have the strength in this area yet." It's just an average experimental spacecraft, and it's not a big deal. "No, I've heard that you're taking this very seriously this time, but you have turned off the entire July launch mission. Luo Kai joked at Wu Hao with a smile.

Seeing this, Wu Hao spread his hands helplessly and said, "Don't ask me about this, ask me, I won't tell you now."

At present, this experimental spacecraft is in the final test work, and we will not disclose the situation to the outside world until the launch time, so as not to be affected by some problems. ”

Why, it seems, this experimental spacecraft is very special. Tang Shizhen asked curiously at Wu Hao.

How to put it, it's just a little idea, and I don't know if I can succeed. Without further ado, let's get down to business. Wu Hao smiled and changed the topic.

Seeing that Wu Hao was reluctant to say more on this question, although everyone was very curious, they did not continue to ask.

I don't know everyone present, in fact, the outside world is now very curious about Wu Hao's experimental spacecraft to be launched in August.

Regarding this, this, this, and this experimental spacecraft, Wu Hao and they are very tight, so the outside world still doesn't know what kind of spacecraft it is.

But what is certain is that judging from some limited information revealed by Wu Hao and Haoyu Technology before, this experimental spacecraft is definitely not simple.

Looking at the people seated, Deputy Director Qi, who was sitting in the first seat, smiled at everyone and said, "Okay, let's get to the point."

Today is the first plenary meeting after the establishment of our project, and the purpose of this meeting is mainly to gather everyone to talk about the current progress of the project, some problems encountered by the project team, as well as your relevant views and suggestions on the project.

First of all, let me give you an overview of our project.

Our project was formally established in April this year under the joint care of the leaders of the group company, the leaders of the Science and Industry Bureau, and the military leaders.

Before the establishment, our Aeronautical Technology and Aircraft Design and Research Institute and Haoyu Technology Co., Ltd. began to contact many times, and repeatedly discussed this project, and reached an agreement on relevant cooperation.

Haoyu Technology Co., Ltd. provides the core technology used in this project, that is, our aviation aircraft intelligent unmanned technology.

Our Aeronautical Technology and Aircraft Design and Research Institute provides relevant research sites, as well as corresponding equipment and hardware equipment.

We will jointly form a large-scale intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle technology research and development project to conduct related research work on this technology.

After the establishment of the project team, the technical personnel of both sides were quickly in place, and the basic demonstration and research work of related technologies has begun, and relatively good results have been achieved.

After repeated discussions by the project team, we finally selected the new MA700 turboprop regional aircraft designed and developed by us for the demonstration of intelligent unmanned technology for aviation aircraft, which has been put into commercial operation.

The reason for choosing this new turboprop regional aircraft of the MA 700 is mainly to pay attention to the performance of the aircraft itself, first of all, its size is not small, it belongs to the new turboprop regional aircraft with medium-sized 70 to 80 seats.

Its wingspan is 29.0 meters, the fuselage length is 30.9 meters, the maximum take-off weight is 27,600 kg, the maximum payload is 860 kg, the maximum cruise speed is 637 kilometers per hour, the maximum range is 2,700 kilometers, and the maximum flight altitude is 8,000 meters.

Although this aircraft is smaller than the average large jet airliner, it is not bad, especially because it uses our newly developed digital flight platform, which is very advanced and very suitable for the modification and embedding of intelligent unmanned systems.

Moreover, in terms of intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle driving technology of major airlines in various countries, our new MA700 turboprop regional aircraft is definitely the largest model among them.

Of course, bigger is not always better. The bigger the plane, the more complex the system becomes. For now, this new MA700 turboprop regional aircraft is definitely in line with our current research needs. ”

Hearing Deputy Director Qi's introduction, Academician Tang Shizhen, who was sitting opposite Wu Hao, also spoke: "The decision to choose the new turboprop regional aircraft of the MA 700 as our experimental model is also a decision made after repeated research and discussion.

Different from ordinary small aircraft, large aircraft are still very difficult to carry out unmanned driving technology.

Especially when it comes to safety, to be honest, we can't guarantee it, so we have to choose a cost-effective and reliable model.

At the same time, the alternative model should not be too big or too small.

If the aircraft is too large, the flight control system will become more and more complex, and it is not easy for us to do it, and it is difficult to produce results in a short time.

In addition, large aircraft are bulky, so we can use them for testing. And the large aircraft is relatively expensive both in terms of unit price and flight price, and it is too wasteful to use it at this stage.

If the model is too small, it will not achieve the purpose of our project. Moreover, there is a big difference between a small aircraft and a large aircraft, so it is still necessary to have a certain size of model. ”

At this time, Deputy Director Qi took over the words of Academician Tang Shizhen and said: "Regarding this new MA700 turboprop regional aircraft, our Aviation Technology and Aircraft Design and Research Institute has decided to hand over the prototype of a new MA700 turboprop regional aircraft that we have previously researched and tested to the project team for experimental use free of charge.

This prototype is the fourth of five prototypes produced by our initial research experiments, and the aircraft is in good condition.

Originally, the aircraft would be sold to local airlines in China after some minor maintenance. However, because of this project, the office was temporarily handed over to us for use. ”

Great, with this aircraft, this project of ours will be much more convenient in the course of research tests. Wu Hao said with a smile.

"In fact, whether it is a car or an airplane, the success of unmanned technology is inseparable from repeated testing and experimentation.

This is especially true of our AI technology, if you want an AI system to be smart, then you have to give it enough information and data to learn.

In this regard, we have a great advantage over the automotive field. Because all planes, there will be flight data, and these data will be stored in the black box.

And these flight data are exactly what our intelligent unmanned system needs to learn. ”

"No problem, we have cooperated with the civil aviation department to collect relevant flight data of the passenger aircraft of major airlines."
