Chapter 166: Aviation Yu Tan
The morning star in the sky is still shining, and the group on earth has begun a new work arrangement. Diaphragm
"Dean, to be honest, if it weren't for your help, we wouldn't even be able to cross the threshold of the first step, and we wouldn't be able to talk about the team arrangement and production planning behind." Wang Zhu held a bowl of hot soup and said with a little emotion.
"Yu Peng's words are not an exaggeration, he and Xiaofeng are fine, they only need to work hard to overcome technical difficulties, unlike me who is both the administrative person in charge and the technical person in charge, I have to manage everything, and nothing is easy to manage." Ba Yuzao took a sip of hot soup and sighed.
Cheng Nuo smiled and said, "Why, when I came to this, I began to think bittersweetly." ”
"No, no, no, that's not what we meant." Wang Zhu put the bowl down and hurriedly came out to explain: "Although I personally did not participate in the specific arrangement of these foods, I know that everything is difficult at the beginning, and many people have not even taken the stepping stones, and they fall down in front of the first step. ”
Ba Yuzao smiled and nodded: "The first thing is that there are no workers, even the most ordinary fitters, carpenters, and painters are in short supply, but fortunately, the dean brought a large number of shipwrights, and they were able to work normally after training." ”
Cheng Nuo was not fascinated by these sycophants, and said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, similar things seem to have been told to me, and today the old things are brought up again, so what do you like about me again?" ”
Ba and Wang glanced at each other, and then laughed, seeing that Cheng Nuo was dripping in his heart, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd. Diaphragm
"The dean is like this, since we chose to set up an aviation school in Beijing, the original workers naturally could not be brought, which greatly affected the design and manufacturing of the aircraft. When I was worried, I heard that you are very familiar with the workers and masters of Changxin store, can we make a breakthrough in this area? Wang Zhu said with a smile.
"It's easy to say anything else, I think this matter is really a bit hanging." deliberately gave a negative answer, and after capturing the frustration of the two, Cheng Nuo smiled: "But I have prepared other workers for you, all of whom have been carefully selected from the disaster victim group through our disaster response." ”
Wang Zhu said excitedly: "Well, although there are not many employees who are willing to go south and north with us, we can completely uphold the method of bringing the old with the new and train a group of qualified aircraft talents again." ”
Ba Yuzao calmed down a little: "In other words, if we change to a new place, we have to start from scratch again?" ”
Cheng Nuo smiled: "Of course not, the specific position has been arranged for you, and you will be sent to conduct high-level training in the future." ”
In this way, while chatting about the current situation, we arranged for the victims who had technical skills.
When the warm soup gets cold, things will be talked about. Diaphragm
"That's it, won't Yunhua have to go back to the station later, this time I'll go with you and see your arrangements on the spot."
Wang Zhu hesitated: "At the moment, the number of people is not large, most of them are arranged to build grass huts outside the city, and there is really no specific arrangement." ”
Ba Yuzao has the opposite opinion: "The grass shed is good with the grass shed, and we don't live in it together, and I explain the basic principles and processes of the aircraft to the workers hand in hand, saving money and worry, which is really a lot of money." ”
After saying this, he decisively led Cheng Nuo and others to visit the base.
And after Cheng Nuo personally experienced a little time, he understood the purity of Ba Yuzao and others' pursuit of the blue sky dream.
Summoning everyone over, Ba Yuzao introduced Cheng Nuo to everyone, and habitually instructed: "Advise everyone, instead of being clever and clever, Mu Ning is delicate and steady, because human life is tied to my hands, not fun......"
Looking at the gushing Ba Yuzao, Cheng Nuo was a little puzzled for a while: "Is Yunhua like this every time?" "Ahh
Wang Zhu smiled and said: "If Yunhua organizes a meeting, then this sentence must be his first sentence." But the effect, in my opinion, is still very good, for the knowledge and understanding of the aircraft, everyone grasps it quickly, and it will not take long to be able to independently take charge of a small plate. ”
Cheng Nuo nodded: "It's okay, seeing everyone working together in one direction, then I'm much more relieved."
Over time, after the formation of the scale of our aviation school, it will inevitably develop from point to surface, from surface to body, and from bottom to top, so the demand for aviation talents will only increase in the future. ”
Guiding Cheng Nuo to a quiet place, Wang Zhu was puzzled: "In addition to the aviation school, what other arrangements does the dean have?" ”
Cheng Nuo nodded and said seriously: "Organizations such as flight teams, air stations, weather stations, weather stations, repair shops, equipment depots, etc., these are all necessary, and if conditions permit, it is not impossible to establish an aviation committee." ”
Wang Zhu's eyes widened: "Is it used to coordinate and manage these related organizations?" ”
"Not exactly." Cheng Nuo organized the language a little and explained: "It is undeniable that the aviation school is only temporary, and we will definitely develop in the direction of the Air Force in the future." However, there are no rules and regulations that apply to itself, and everything is modeled after the rules and regulations of the Army, except for a few individual regulations in the technical aspect. Diaphragm
But let's not forget that the Air Force has its own unique nature, from education, flight technology to catch up, as far as possible,
It is not enough to say that there are very detailed regulations on national salvation, uniforms, personnel, managers, health care, and even daily administrative documents. ”
On the other side, Ba Yuzao, who was dealing with the completion of the project, was finally able to get free, and after listening to a few sentences, he began to say: "The aviation industry is of great importance to national defense, and all countries in the world are trying their best to expand and develop day by day. ”
This point is fully demonstrated in Ba Yuzao, such as the first seaplane "A-1" primary training aircraft he designed and manufactured, although the drawings say that it is a single-engine, double-pontoon, biplane water training aircraft, but in essence, it is also closer to the direction of national defense.
With 100 horsepower, a maximum speed of 126 kilometers per hour, it can sail for 3 hours, and it can carry 4 bombs, which are mainly used for training, can carry out patrol missions, and can also carry out small bombing if necessary.
Finding a high place, Cheng Nuo stood on the steps and pinched his waist: "Of course, it is impossible to make a technologically advanced aircraft behind closed doors, and we still have to introduce more about the aviation status quo, aviation policy and aviation education of developed countries in Europe and the United States every day. ”
In fact, regarding the transformation between military and civilian, in the early stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan, European countries did a very good job. Diaphragm
For example, in 1933, the British Department of Aviation had about 700 aircraft, and there were many aircraft manufacturing factories all over the country, and the private enterprises were subsidized by the government.
France is a world-famous army country, with the highest number of planes in all countries, and the people are as common as the cars of the Republic of China.
This point is introduced in great detail in Jiang Guangtou's article "National and Aviation", which believes that the world's air force is the first in France, the United States in second, and Britain in third
And also recognized this point of Italy's Mussolini, after taking power, personally concurrently served as the director of aviation, strongly advocated the development of aviation, and quite advanced foresaw that Germany's aviation construction is not as good as Britain, France and other European powers, but Germany's machinery, superior countries have the opportunity, will be able to see its special performance.
"Dean, do you have any other plans?" Wang Zhu asked.
"It's nature." Cheng Nuo looked into the distance with a smile on his face: "For example, pilots, participating in the formation of the Air Force radar unit, heavy bombing unit, aerial photography reconnaissance unit, etc., are these exciting enough, are they surprising enough?" ”
Wang Zhu nodded like pounded garlic: "Enough, it's too much." "Ahh
For example, the current pilot is exactly what Cheng Nuo is doing and working hard for, and the establishment of the aviation school is also for this.
The radar unit of the Air Force is the next development direction arranged by Cheng Nuo.
"Through our communication with Mr. Tesla, we have learned that radio technology has begun to be used in the military, and the combat command of the military has been further improved technically.
With the improvement of aircraft speed and endurance, the capture of air intelligence by optical equipment can no longer meet the requirements of modern warfare, so during World War II, the British army began to use radar to capture radio waves to obtain air intelligence. ”
In this regard, the British army actually did a very good job, suffered the loss of World War I, and began to use radar to capture radio waves to obtain aerial intelligence in World War II. It is precisely because of the prominent role of radar technology in modern warfare that the Nationalist Government has felt the lack of such talents long before the Anti-Japanese War.
Later, after negotiations between the British and American associations, Britain agreed to train 25 radar restoration personnel for China. After the strict assessment of the national government, 21 people were admitted to the UK to study radar technology, but unfortunately the good times were not too long.
It was only in the thirties and forties that the Nationalist Government established China's first radar unit on the basis of receiving radar equipment after Japan's surrender and some radar equipment donated by the United States. Diaphragm
As for the strategic-class heavy bombers, there is nothing to talk about here, but it is just to speed up the integration of the war.
However, in the case of aerial photographic reconnaissance units, it was an air force unit to which the developed countries of the West attached great importance to it earlier, but it is a pity that only a minority of those who recognize this point are chirping.
In this way, under Cheng Nuo's arrangement, the importance of running an aviation school to build aircraft has become more and more prominent.
In order to speed up the progress and also to absorb labor, Cheng Nuo and others worked together to select forty or fifty skilled workers from the crowd, including mechanics, fitters, carpenters, and lacquer workers.
These skilled workers have certain knowledge and experience in shipbuilding, and have a certain foundation in mechanical knowledge, tool use and mechanical drawing.
In order to give them an overall understanding of aircraft manufacturing, Ba Yuzao and others gave lectures to the workers, explaining the principles of concise aircraft, engine principles and body structure, so that the workers could understand the accuracy of building aircraft and learn to choose appropriate materials according to the needs of the strength of the airframe.
A small number of workers with a good foundation are also trained in engine calibration, loading and unloading, commissioning, troubleshooting, and the use of various instruments and meters. All these technical trainings are learned and practiced at the same time, so that they reach a very proficient level. Diaphragm
Of course, there are many difficulties in the manufacturing process of aircraft: first, it cannot manufacture aero engines, so it can only be purchased from abroad, and the fuselage must be designed and manufactured according to the performance of the purchased engines, which is often "cut to fit the performance";
Second, the equipment is backward, the degree of mechanization is low, and most of the processes are completed by hand, so the productivity is low.
Of course, in addition, warlord scuffles, frequent wars, and political instability have caused China's modern aviation industry to lack a stable development environment. Between 1912 and 1928 there were more than 140 wars.
Among the frequent wars, Japan's war of aggression dealt the greatest blow to China's industrialization. After the September 18 Incident, Japan occupied Northeast China, depriving China of 30% of its coal, 71% of its iron, 28% of its electricity and 47% of its cement.
In addition, the government of the Republic of China does not have a unified plan for the aviation industry, the government invests in scattered factories, and each factory has no division of labor and cooperation, and it is independent; There was no scientific planning for the manufacture of airplanes by the factories, and they either copied American planes, Soviet planes, and French planes.
There are no further improvements and enhancements to self-designed aircraft. There is a wide variety of aircraft produced by various aircraft factories, and there is no national standard. In this way, the national aviation industry is scattered and cannot form a joint force, and the function of the aviation factory will be greatly reduced.
Stacking a paper airplane, Cheng Nuo wanted to try a new folding method, but because the center of gravity was unstable, he accidentally fell to the ground. Diaphragm
Picking up the plane again, he said thoughtfully: "Although running an aviation school and building an airplane are two different things, I still suggest that you cooperate more during the synchronous period." ”
Ba Yuzao was puzzled: "I don't know what Mr. refers to?" ”
Cheng Nuo said with a smile: "Of course, it is the training of test pilots, you must understand that the serious shortage of test pilots will also restrict the improvement of aircraft performance and the improvement of aircraft manufacturing level." ”
For the advent of any new type of aircraft, aircraft test flights are an indispensable part. Test flight means that the aircraft is tested before it is officially used, which is used to check the equipment of the aircraft and check the performance of the aircraft.
The development and production of a new type of aircraft must go through the process of demonstration, design, manufacturing, flight test, finalization, mass production, and delivery. Through test flights, the design flaws of the aircraft are exposed to the greatest extent, and the design department is provided with a basis for improving the performance of the aircraft and avoiding future tragedies.
Of course, through test flights, the potential of the aircraft can be flown out, and it is convenient for the shooting department to take advantage of the best.
Another important problem in China's aeronautical engineering is that it is difficult to find aircraft test pilots, and there is a serious shortage of excellent test pilots. In those years, the A-1 and A-2 planes manufactured by Ba Yuzao and Wang Zhu had many difficulties in finding people to test flights. Diaphragm
And this is also an important reason why Ba and Wang are so enthusiastic.
