Chapter 135: Giant Bird No. 2 Transport Plane Rolls Off the Lines

The fame of the Hippo helicopter is also because of this battle, and now all countries know that China has created the world's most advanced armed transport helicopter, which has super combat effectiveness, and the allies are about to equip it in large quantities.

Now the little devils and Germany are probably panicking, because in the face of such a strong opponent, how long can they hold out?

Time flies quickly, and this time the leaders of the Eighth Route Army will be excited and proud again, because it will soon be the day when the Giant Bird No. 2 transport plane will go offline.

This Giant Bird No. 2 transport aircraft can be said to be the largest transport aircraft in the world at present, with a take-off weight of 110 tons and a load of 35 tons, which is a real big guy.

So this time off the assembly line, the senior representatives of the Allied forces will also come, because this transport aircraft can be said to be almost tailor-made for the Allied forces, and the Eighth Route Army will not use it much, and will only equip a few of them.

The Allies are different, because of the needs of the operation, the Allies will be equipped with at least 2,000 Giant Bird No. 2 transport aircraft, which is a huge order, and the profits will be amazing.

The Giant Bird No. 2 transport aircraft, in this era, can definitely be regarded as a strategic-level transport aircraft, so this time the allies are also very happy, because it will soon be equipped with this kind of strategic-level transport aircraft, and when the time comes, it will be much stronger than now, because the Giant Bird No. 2 transport aircraft, even medium tanks can be directly airlifted thousands of kilometers away.

And the most important thing is that, like the previous Hump route, which flies with C47 transport aircraft, not only loses a lot of aircraft, loses a lot of pilots, but also has extremely low transportation efficiency, which is also because the performance of C47 transport aircraft is too weak.

The load of the C47 transport aircraft is only 2.7 tons, which is less than one-tenth of the Giant Bird No. 2 transport plane, and the most important thing is the ceiling, which is only eight thousand meters, so it is easy to have an accident when flying over the Hump route, but if you use the Giant Bird No. 2 transport aircraft, its ceiling reaches 12,000 kilometers, so there is no problem to easily fly over Mount Everest, and nothing will happen.

You must know that in Duan Peng's previous life, a total of 850,000 tons of materials were transported on the Hump route, while the United States invested more than 2,000 C47 and C46 transport planes, with a loss of more than 1,500 aircraft, and the Chinese Air Force also lost 48 of its 100 aircraft, and more than 3,000 pilots from the two countries were missing and killed.

But now, there will be no loss in using the Giant Bird No. 1 and No. 2 transport planes, and the carrying capacity will be greatly improved.

Of course, because the current battlefield situation is different, there is no need to fly this route, because on the battlefield in Southeast Asia, the weapons and equipment developed by the Eighth Route Army have been invested, so the little devil is now being beaten out of Southeast Asia.

It's just that in the Pacific Ocean, the little devil is still fighting with the United States.

Duan Peng is also very proud now, because the technical level of the Giant Bird No. 2 transport aircraft has far surpassed this era, reaching the level of the fifties and sixties, and even higher.

After all, in the fifties and sixties, among the medium-sized tactical transport aircraft, the most famous is the C130 transport aircraft of the United States, which cannot be compared with the Giant Bird No. 2, but can only be compared with the Giant Bird No. 1.

The current Giant Bird No. 2 transport aircraft can be said to be comparable to the jet-type C141 large transport aircraft in the fifties and sixties, but the speed is a little slower.

Among the turboprop transport aircraft of that era, the largest was the An-22 transport aircraft, which was already a strategic transport aircraft, with a take-off weight of 250 tons and a load of 80 tons.

The Giant Bird No. 2 transport aircraft is closer to the An-70 transport aircraft and the European A400M transport aircraft sixty years later, with a take-off weight of about 130 tons and a load of about 40 tons.

The Giant Bird No. 2 transport aircraft is only slightly smaller than them, and its technical level is relatively low.

However, the Giant Bird No. 2 transport aircraft has the ability to take off and land on an improvised runway, so its practicality is very strong, even on the ice, it can land and take off.

This is also a point that the Allies like very much, so the representatives of the Allies will come to participate in this offline ceremony.

The leaders and guests who came to the Third Aircraft Factory today, that is really a lot, Duan Peng and Yunxia warmly greeted the leaders and guests, and came to the viewing platform to take a seat.

In the assembly plant, in front of the viewing platform, is a completed assembly of the giant bird No. 2 transport aircraft, now the leaders and guests have seen, this transport aircraft is really too big, although its fuselage length and wingspan, not as good as the Kunpeng No. 3 bomber off the assembly line last month, but its fuselage diameter is far more than the strategic bomber.

Because the diameter of the fuselage of this transport plane is close to five meters, while the diameter of the strategic bomber is only more than three meters, which is a lot worse.

So in terms of volume, it must be the Giant Bird 2 transport aircraft that is larger.

The Allies gave an order for 2,000 planes, so the Eighth Route Army was very profitable.

The offline ceremony began in a grand atmosphere, and it was Yunxia who presided over the offline ceremony, and she said happily: "Next, I would like to invite our leaders of the Eighth Route Army to speak." ”

The leaders of the Eighth Route Army stood up happily and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, comrades of the Eighth Route Army, hello everyone, today I am as excited and proud as everyone else, the Giant Bird No. 2 transport aircraft developed by our Eighth Route Army will officially roll off the assembly line today. We have all seen just now, the Giant Bird No. 2 transport aircraft is indeed big, deservedly the largest aircraft in the world, why do you say that, its belly can be loaded the most, thirty-five tons of carrying capacity, it can be said that no aircraft can reach, hundreds of cubic meters of cabin volume is the same. So we are very proud to announce to the world that Giant Bird 2 is off the assembly line! ”

A burst of warm applause rang out, everyone was extremely excited, and some people shed tears, indeed the comrades of the Eighth Route Army who participated in the development of Giant Bird No. 2 really worked overtime every day, so that there is now the Giant Bird No. 2 transport plane.

Next, the representatives of the Allied forces also spoke at the scene, and they were quite satisfied with the Giant Bird No. 2 transport plane, hoping that the test flight could be completed as soon as possible and delivered to the Allied forces as soon as possible.

Indeed, the Giant Bird II transport aircraft is too important for the Allies.

Because in addition to being able to carry out strategic projection, the Giant Bird No. 2 transport aircraft can also be converted into an armed transport aircraft, which is later called a gunboat aircraft, which is too powerful.

Of course, it is no problem to use it as an air tanker.

Therefore, the Allies very much hoped that they could get the Giant Bird No. 2 transport plane faster, and for this reason, the Allies also sent dozens of pilots to the Eighth Route Army Aircraft Factory to receive training and participate in test flights.

There are also a lot of ground crews and engineers, all for the logistics support of the Giant Bird No. 2 transport aircraft in the future.

The off-line ceremony was completed in a grand atmosphere, and everyone took a group photo at the end.
