"Qin Feng, the way you dress is really peculiar!" The next day, seeing Qin Feng start to wear a suit and leather shoes, but he put the T-shirt inside the shirt, General Lin couldn't help but be curious.

"Last night, I dreamed of flying with it." Qin Feng said.

Wear a t-shirt on the inside, a shirt on the outside, a tie, and a suit, perfect!

In this year, he has begun to change to wearing clothes in the West, especially now for this kind of visit, in order not to embarrass the motherland, before going abroad, Qin Feng spent a sum of money to buy this suit.

After getting dressed and having breakfast, everyone got on the Grumman bus and headed for the Grumman factory.

A strange phenomenon, in China, is the development of railways, if you want to go out, the first thing that comes to mind is the train, while in the United States, it is the development of highways, when you go out, the main means of transportation is the car, even if it is intercontinental travel, the main thing is the car.

This is of course because of the land, in the United States, the land is privately owned, the highway is existing, at most it can be expanded, and if the railroad wants to be built, it needs to be acquired, in addition to the astronomical land acquisition costs, if people don't sell, then you have to take a detour, so the United States railways, there are very few, but the road network is extremely developed.

Now, riding this bus, it is also quite comfortable, Qin Feng is sitting by the window, looking out, you can see the endless sea.

The industrial zones in the United States are mainly on the east coast and west coast, so it is very convenient to use various resources, such as aircraft factories, after the aircraft is manufactured, the test flight can be carried out directly above the sea, which is quite convenient.

After crossing a bridge, I got on Long Island, New York, and the car was speeding at high speed, but Long Island just couldn't see the end, this guy, an island, looked inconspicuous, but it was actually quite long.

Qin Feng wanted to look up and see if there were any planes in the sky for a test flight, but unfortunately, there were dense clouds overhead today, and it didn't seem to be a good weather for flying.

"It's not good, we forgot about Comrade Qiu Puda!" At this moment, Tu Lao suddenly remembered something, everyone came out together, got in the car together, and then drove off, Tu Lao did not name him, he looked at all people, it should be about the same, but, just now, when he was about to arrive at the factory, Tu Lao remembered, after breakfast, Comrade Qiu Puda said that he was going back to get the documents, and as a result, as soon as he returned to the room, the car arrived!

Tu Lao had a strange expression on his face, he was the team leader, on the first day, he made a big joke, after going back, it will definitely become a joke in the circle, and it has been repeatedly said, whoever leads the team out will be instructed, be sure to check the number of people, don't be like Lao Tu, leak people in the hotel.

Back then, everyone went to a meeting together, ate at a factory guest house, and the meal that day was steamed buns, but as a result, the buns were not steamed.

Tu Lao's mood was suddenly not good, but when the car stopped, everyone realized that Comrade Qiu Puda was actually there before them.

Comrade Qiu Puda had a smile on his face: "Haha, you all came by bus, I took a car, and the car of other people in the United States is so comfortable!" ”

Now in China, the main passenger car is still 212, this kind of car has a history of several decades, the window is narrow, the noise is loud, the ride is very bumpy, it was originally a military jeep, and the result is to assume the task of the domestic official car for decades, and the Volkswagen joint venture car, now is still entangled, and has not officially signed the joint venture agreement.

In the United States, there are old car manufacturers such as Detroit Motor City and Ford, and their sedans are of course several grades higher than those in China.

At this time, Tu Lao was relieved, and at the same time, he also had a good impression of Grumman, they must have known that Comrade Qiu Puda was left behind, so they immediately took him over in another car, this kind of reception work is really in place.

"Old friends, we're meeting again." In the factory, the reception was still Pelehake, who did not pick up the plane yesterday, and greeted everyone here today, his face was also full of smiles: "Now, let me lead you to visit our aircraft factory, let everyone see, and you can also compare with the French factory." ”

They are going to compete with the Phantom 2000, and they naturally know that the Chinese have been to Dassault Systèmes to observe the factory, and now, let them see their own factory.

"Wow, that's big!" When he walked in, even Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh.

What everyone enters is the final assembly line.

Although in the production of automobiles, assembly lines have long been used, and automobiles are constantly flowing on the production line, so that repeated assembly is very efficient.

However, the production of fighters is not the same.

The fighter planes that need to be assembled are lined up on the floor, and each fighter is fixed on their own independent assembly bench, and the technicians responsible for different processes carry out their own assembly tests. Until the final assembly is completed, the position of each fighter is basically stationary.

Since the aircraft does not move, it needs to be moved by others, and the wings, engines, cables, instruments, displays and other parts required for each assembly process must be transported back and forth in the plant by manual labor or lifting equipment.

During World War II, a final assembly line often had hundreds of fighters assembled together, which seemed quite spectacular, and now, on the final assembly line here, there are a total of sixteen stations, that is, it can accommodate sixteen Tomcat fighters for final assembly at the same time.

This situation was not until the 21st century, after the invention of the pulsating production line, the production efficiency was improved by a notch.

For example, in the production of F22 fighters, the entire production line is divided into five work areas, which complete different assembly processes. The division of labor in each work area is clear and detailed, the workload is single and repetitive, equipped with professional automation equipment and advanced supply lines, the assembly line process is smooth, will not produce extrusion or disjoint, and can also set the buffer time, when there is a problem in a certain link of production, the whole production line can not be moved, or left to the next station to solve, when the assembly work of the aircraft is completed, the production line pulsates once.

The production of the J-20 also adopts this method, and it is said that at the limit, more than 300 aircraft can be produced in a year.

And now, Qin Feng's cry is not that this plant is too big, but that the Tomcat fighter is too big, although he knew its data in the data before, but only by standing next to it can he feel the huge size of this fighter.
