Chapter 207: The Ancient Plane
The very lean-looking little soldier ran ahead, brushed the floor and tore off the tarpaulin covering an airplane, and an "ancient" twin-propeller plane appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Li Baoqiang was already prepared in his heart, but he was still stunned by the quaint shape of the plane, Nima Laozi has crossed over, it seems to have returned to the World War II period,
The more the plane looks like a transport plane during the anti-Japanese period, it is just a mini type, the plane only has a cockpit of two people in front and behind, and the two big propellers are on the two wings.
Although Huang Kai and the others had already seen this Chujiao 5 aircraft when they searched for planes last time, they were still a little strange to the pilots who were used to flying jet fighters when they saw such an ancient two-stroke propeller aircraft.
Huang Kai said in his heart: If it weren't for Li Baoqiang's dream of the Air Force, he wouldn't have driven this kind of plane if he was killed.
However, Huang Kai still suppressed his helpless look, stepped forward and pointed to the fuselage, and introduced the structure and performance of this beginner five one by one.
"Commander, look at this, the fuselage of the aircraft is welded into a skeleton by alloy steel pipes, which is a frame-type fuselage skeleton, the front section of the fuselage and the engine fairing are aluminum alloy skin, and the rear half of the fuselage is covered by cloth skin.
The wing is composed of a trapezoidal outer wing and a rectangular middle wing, the middle wing is an all-metal structure, composed of two girders, 8 ribs, etc., and the middle wing is equipped with two fuel tanks with a capacity of 75 liters,
The middle wing is connected with the fuselage frame, and the leading edges, beams, and ribs of the outer wing and the tail are made of aluminum alloy; cloth skin,
The engine is a reliable and easy-to-use M-11FP5 cylinder air-cooled piston engine, a rear three-point landing gear, the main wheel is semi-buried in the middle wing, and the tail wheel is fixed and cannot be retracted.
The tandem enclosed cockpit has a good view, and the aircraft is equipped with radio receivers and in-flight intercom equipment, although these radio communication equipment are currently decorations and will need to be modernized if they are to be activated. ”
Li Baoqiang nodded, even if he is a layman, he knows that this beginner fifth is still too backward, but it's better than nothing, make do with it,
"Let's talk about the basic performance parameters of the first five education: the entire aircraft wingspan is 10.60 meters, the fuselage is 8.072 meters long, the height is 3.10 meters, the normal take-off weight is 1120 kg, the empty weight is 816 kg, the maximum level flight speed is 248 km / h, the cruising speed is 160 km / h, the climb rate (low altitude) is 3.5 m / s, the practical ceiling is 4000 meters, the maximum range is 1000 km, the endurance time is 8.28 hours, the take-off and running distance is 205 meters, and the landing and grounding speed is 85 km / hours, landing run distance 207 meters. ”
"Of course, it is not yet known whether the aircraft from more than 50 years ago can still maintain the performance indicators of the original design, and everything will have to wait until the overhaul is completed and the final result can only be known after a test flight."
"Ahem, I wonder if this kind of plane can fight, can it be loaded with aerial guns." Li Baoqiang asked with a little embarrassment: If this kind of aircraft has no combat use value, it can only be used as a training plane or a reconnaissance plane.
"Well, this, I don't think it's okay, the purpose of this kind of aircraft was originally designed to be a training model, loading a cannon, this ......"
Huang Kai was also scratching his hair in embarrassment, Li Baoqiang's idea really made Huang Kai crazy, this kind of training aircraft also needs to be equipped with aviation guns, will the fuselage fall apart after firing small shells?
Liu Junsheng and the others stood behind Li Baoqiang, and they also looked at these ancient planes blankly.
Their group of old technicians have never seen this kind of ancient aircraft, maybe only in movies,
But one of the old workers in this group of technicians was teary-eyed,
When he heard Huang Kai squeak and couldn't answer the great question, the old worker walked out of the crowd and came to Li Baoqiang's side and said excitedly: "You can install it." ”
"Well, you are." Li Baoqiang turned to look at the old worker, with a small flat head, gray hair, thick and straight roots, not tall, his facial lines are as hard as a knife and axe, his eyes are bright, and he looks very capable.
"Oh, look at my brain, I forgot that we still have an old military industry, Cheng Fei's old military industry."
Liu Junsheng patted his head, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly introduced,
"This is our Chengfei Master Zhou Linzhou, a senior technician, a model worker, and the master of our repair department."
"You old Liu, what a big deal, I just have a little more experience." Master Zhou Lin Zhou replied modestly, but with pride in his tone,
Li Baoqiang didn't continue to pay attention to what was big or not, with urgency in his eyes, he asked: "Master Zhou, you just said that this kind of aircraft can be equipped with aviation guns, or missiles or something. ”
"I've done it with an aerial gun, but as for the missile, I haven't tried it yet, but I think there should be no problem, don't forget that this is Lao Maozi's technology, Lao Maozi's product."
"Well, you always introduce."
Li Baoqiang took out a cigarette, handed one to Master Zhou Lin, and then scattered around, the old workers are all old smoking guns, and when they saw the commander smoking, they all lit it unceremoniously, a good cigarette is a good smoke, this Yellow Crane Tower is much stronger than the red plum he smoked.
Li Baoqiang is also considered a high-level now, and the cigarettes he smokes are arranged by someone, and these old workers are different, the cigarettes they smoke are generally honored by the soldiers who come to repair firearms, and Hongmei is already their high-end cigarettes.
Master Zhou Lin took two puffs of the yellow crane tower, and the smoke slowly dispersed from his nostrils, Li Baoqiang knew that this was definitely an old smoking gun,
"Lao Maozi's products have characteristics, that is, stupid and stupid, but it doesn't mean that they are not easy to use, the leather is resistant to manufacturing, the material is just used, our products are corroded before the end of the day, and they will definitely not rust the idea."
Master Zhou Lin exclaimed with emotion,
Everyone nodded their heads, deeply sympathetic,
"I have worked in Chengfei for more than 40 years, from the age of 16 to the present, what I admire most is Lao Maozi's aircraft."
Zhou Lin explained a few words, piggybacking on the old and selling the old,
"Then do you think these four planes can be repaired?"
Li Baoqiang continues to care about his air force plans,
"This is not in a hurry, the engine must be removed and cleaned first, and other mechanical transmission devices must be overhauled, and the skin and tires must be checked before we can draw conclusions."
In just a few sentences, Zhou Lin said a few key points, which amazed Huang Kai and other pilots, this old man's absolute professionalism,
"Then dare to be good, the establishment of the Civil Defense Air Force depends on you, you rush ahead, I will be the Minister of Logistics, what do you want to kill, good cigarettes and good wine to serve."
Li Baoqiang is also a person on the road, and he knows what these old skilled workers like, so when he says good cigarettes and good wine, these old workers "snort" in their voices, and the excitement is not much worse than that of young people.
"Well, you." Master Zhou Lin's mouthful of Beijing slices is estimated to be a senior technician from Kyoto during the construction of the third line.
