Chapter 855: The Shortcomings of Large Transport Aircraft
When he saw the instruments and equipment here, the feeling in Qin Feng's heart was finally settled, this is not my thing.
That's right, just now when Mr. Lu said that Qin Feng was coming to fly this early warning aircraft, Qin Feng still had a little hesitation in his heart, and now, seeing the instruments and equipment here, Qin Feng is finally firm.
Impossible, to say that you want to fly this kind of plane, it is absolutely impossible, too backward, already accustomed to the advanced glass cockpit, if you sit in it, it will be quite uncomfortable.
This transport plane is too backward! Qin Feng shook his head: "If only we had our own large transport plane!" ”
Large transport aircraft, which belong to strategic forces, can be used for modification in addition to transporting personnel and materials, such as air early warning aircraft, air tankers, electronic warfare aircraft, etc., all need such large transport aircraft to support.
At present, China has imported a total of more than a dozen Il-76 aircraft, so the number of early warning aircraft developed on this aircraft platform is certainly limited, and it is impossible to put them into use on a large scale.
Or the lack of large aircraft.
After the Yunshi project was launched, there seems to be no big aircraft project in China, and this project is also a pain in the country.
"Yes, it's good if we have our own big plane, but don't worry, there will be in the future, the relevant departments have begun the preliminary research and development, and it is estimated that soon, the project will be launched." Mr. Lu said.
Qin Feng found that he was indeed too disjointed, the project of Xiaolong, Qin Feng didn't know, and now, this kind of large transport aircraft project, Qin Feng still didn't know.
"If there is, it must be Xi'an." Qin Feng said.
In China, there are not many aviation companies, Shenyang and Chengdu are mainly fighter jets, Hongdu is a trainer aircraft, Xi'an is mainly a large aircraft, from the Flying Leopard, to the H-6, Yun-8, are all big guys, so, if there is a large transport aircraft, it must be made there.
Now, there are a lot of nicknames in China, Shen Hoy, Cheng Loma, which is to describe Shenyang and Chengdu, taken from Sukhoi and Lockheed Martin.
What about Xi'an? If there is one over there, it should be called Silyushin? Qin Feng had already begun to have a bad taste in his mind.
"yes, it's them, actually, as early as '93, it started over there." Mr. Lu said, of course, this is not a leak, after all, it is all internal Liu Chuankai.
As early as 1993, Xifei began the preliminary demonstration of large transport aircraft, and successively invested 3 billion yuan in preparation. In 1997, Xifei proposed to the military a plan to develop a large military transport aircraft. However, it was not approved at that time, after all, the country's foundation is thin, and it is very difficult for the Air Force to support the construction of multiple projects, and the Air Force has purchased Xi'an's Flying Leopard fighter-bombers, which is already very good.
However, it was not until later, after Israel terminated its cooperation with China in the field of early warning aircraft, that everyone deeply felt the stimulus, and the central government made up its mind to build an early warning aircraft, so there was an urgent problem, there was no platform.
The platform of the passenger aircraft is not usable, they are all foreign, and the only one that can be used in China is the Il-76, so at that time, the superior ordered Xifei to develop a large transport aircraft that can be used as a large early warning aircraft platform, and it was required to use the Il-76 as a blueprint at that time, which is technically more advanced than the Il-76MD type.
Of course, there are still a lot of problems, the biggest problem, of course, is the engine, no engine, everything is in vain, now look at the country, want to come up with a qualified engine, it is impossible, concentrated all the strength of the country to develop the turbofan ten, now it is still on the bench test it, what else can be taken out in China?
Fortunately, there is already an Il-76 in China, so it is natural that the engine of the Il-76 can be brought, and the design of the entire transport aircraft is very similar to the Il-76, of course, the performance should be more advanced, although the same engine is used, the range will be longer.
If you want to become a large transport aircraft, the total take-off weight must exceed two hundred tons, and in the current world, only the United States and Russia can produce such aircraft, and the level of the aviation industry of the motherland will continue to move forward and reach the third level!
Of course, this project has not yet been officially launched, and there will be a long way to go after it starts in the future, but the old debts that were in arrears before will be paid off little by little, and in the future, all kinds of shortcomings will be solved, which is the determination of the superiors.
Qin Feng heard Mr. Lu's introduction, and nodded constantly: "Yes, now, the defects of the large aircraft have also been filled, and our aviation industry will definitely be able to go to a higher level!" ”
Now, the country's economy is developing at a high speed, and it can have the strength to enter the research and development of these aspects, which can make the country's aviation industry more sound!
There are many differences between large aircraft and small fighter jets, just talking about the girder before and after the traverse, it needs special equipment to suppress, and there is no such equipment when the Yun 10 is used, so the riveted structure is used, and the strength is still different from the original way.
Therefore, it is a pity that the ten days were stopped, but in that era, many equipment did not reach the corresponding level.
Now, finally, I have this strength!
"I'm looking forward to the times to come." Qin Feng said.
"Yes, we are also looking forward to it, if there is a large domestic transport aircraft, installed with our early warning radar, we will definitely be able to better protect the motherland's airspace!" Mr. Lu said.
As he spoke, his stomach growled.
"Alright, let's go to dinner." Qin Feng said, he looked at his sister, during this time, he has lost a lot of weight, go back, let your sister-in-law make food for us!
Before leaving, Qin Feng glanced at the early warning aircraft again, and a scene seemed to appear in front of him, this air police 2000 soared in the sky, and in front of it, there were eight Jian-10 fighters, under its command, carrying out long-range raid operations! With this modern style of warfare, you don't have to envy others anymore, and in the future, you will have it!
