Kyoto is about 1,500 kilometers to the southwest, but since it was the first long-distance flight experiment, it was necessary to fly over a city with an airport, so you could make an emergency landing to avoid problems along the way.

The whole flight time was about seven hours, two pilots, a communicator, two ground crew members in the cargo hold, enough quilts, and earplugs.

Prevent the temperature in the cargo compartment from dropping, in fact, the temperature in the cargo compartment of this kind of aircraft is not very low.

The altitude rises by 1,000 meters, and the temperature drops by about 5 degrees.

The cruising speed of the aircraft is about 300 kilometers, and it is generally not necessary to drive the maximum speed, and the maximum speed can reach about 440 kilometers.

The two pilots were thrilled to fly an airplane of our own manufacture for the first time, even though the engines were more than 20 years old.

However, it did not have any impact on the two test pilots, and only the Yun-5 transport aircraft that China can manufacture independently can now make, and all the rest are purchased from abroad.

If you buy foreign parts, you need to buy foreign accessories, so the time is limited when training and flying, and the parts must be replaced once they reach their life, which is all money.

And this aircraft is easier to operate, the rudder operation is not difficult at all, and more importantly, looking at the Chinese characters on the dashboard, the two of them feel two words - good.

Behind the word is a light-emitting diode, which makes the two pilots and a communicator feel their blood boiling, although they have been flying for several days, but they feel that the plane is more and more comfortable to fly.

Communicators are in constant contact with ground towers, and troop radars keep a close eye on the aircraft's position.

"I didn't expect this plane to have a de-icing device!"

"I was surprised when I saw it for the first time."

"With this de-icing device, there is no longer any fear of ice at high altitudes."

"I've heard for a long time that motorcycle factories are very powerful, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful, and this simple way of de-icing can be thought of."

The de-icing device mentioned by the two test pilots is actually a little above the front end of the wing, there is an inflatable rubber strip, once the wing is frozen, the de-icing measures are directly activated, and the rubber strip will burst the ice on the wing when it is inflated and bulged.

And under such a high-speed flight of the plane, these ice cubes are directly uncovered by the wind.

This is the easiest way to de-ice, but as long as the flight altitude is not too high, there will be no ice at all.

As for de-icing on the ground, at this stage, the only way to do it is to use manual and protective measures.

"This kind of aircraft is much more maneuverable than the planes we flew before, which is beneficial for our pilots to fly for a long time."

"This time, we plan to have a total voyage of about 20 hours, and the total number of kilometers is more than 5,000 kilometers, and I feel that there is no problem at all."

"The hydraulic control system is just comfortable."

The correspondent kept reporting to the ground on the situation, and the ground reported to Kyoto layer by layer.

The plane flew through the air from city to city, and the two test pilots were excited, constantly keeping an eye on the instruments.

In Kyoto, the heads of the departments gathered, everyone was waiting for the good news, and everyone was getting happier and happier as the planes flew over the city.

As for why the failed project didn't find bangs, it was because even if someone looked for it, it would be blocked.

Generally speaking, this kind of failed project will not let others see what the reason is, because this kind of project can allocate 10 million yuan, and it has been studied for so long, and I don't know how many people are working hard behind it.

Now rashly looking for an outsider to analyze the reason, what will this part of the people think?

Besides, even if someone wants to find bangs to analyze the reason, find the reason or continue to do it, they will be blocked by Sun Aiguo and others.

What does it mean that other project teams can't do it, you just come and do it?

In the system, this situation is absolutely not allowed to happen, because how many leaders of other project teams have worked hard to set up, others have failed, and you come to succeed, isn't this a slap in the face?

According to pure technology, you should let the bangs come to see what is the reason?

But it is impossible to say purely technical, sometimes technology is just a service.

At this time, some people don't understand technology, but they talk a lot, catch up with Europe and the United States or something, if you say that the success rate of directly copying other people's planes is higher, but this change is obviously not something that technicians can say.

Bangs will not participate in this kind of large-scale team research, some people don't understand fart, but they just know that amplifying words in it will interfere with the design.

Open your mouth and close your mouth to catch up with this and catch up with that, you dare to say that you don't listen to others? Immediately a big hat is buttoned up!

"Where did the plane go?" The superior leader had just finished smoking a cigarette, stood up and walked two steps and asked.

"Leader, it's already in Sichuan."

"Sure enough, it's been hours, and it's time to eat, everyone eats first, and waits for good news while eating." Only then did the superior look at the time and found that it had been six hours.

So several department leaders had dinner with their superiors.

There is nothing to say about airplanes, although engines are technology more than 20 years ago, but now as long as you can make your own airplanes, transport goods, and transport people to fly in the sky, it is a good aircraft.

The airfields along the way did not know what kind of planes were flying in the sky, only the airfields in the southwest.

The leaders of the Southwest Airport are like ants on a hot pot, constantly calling and asking where the plane has gone?

When I heard that the plane entered Sichuan, I breathed a big sigh of relief, after all, it had been flying for six hours, and there should be no problems.

In the airport on the southwest side, the orderly looked at the airport leaders walking back and forth, as well as the leaders of the troops here, and whispered: "Leader, it's time to eat!" ”

"Don't panic, when the plane comes, let's eat together!"

"This is our hero, you must take a good look, what kind of plane is this?" The leaders in the room all spoke.

"Yes!" The orderly immediately saluted.

The two test pilots on the plane felt very relaxed, in the past, flying an airplane was more tiring than working in the countryside, and you would be tired after driving an hour of airplane, and you would have to prostrate.

This time it flew for more than six hours, and the two test pilots did not feel tired.

It was already afternoon at this time, and the sun was shining on the skin of the plane, and it was clear on the ground, because the first plane had not yet been painted, and it was riveted and the color of aluminum alloy.

There is no protective paint or the like, the yellow leather machine that everyone sees in modern times, that is because the plane flies fast, and the aircraft must be protected by this yellow paint, in addition, it can also be seen from this layer of yellow paint, which friction is the most powerful in the air.

This speed of 300 km/h, is not needed at all.

When the person in charge of the southwest airport heard that the plane had arrived, they all immediately ran out.

The telescope looked in the direction of the plane from a distance, and the plane was so shining in the sunset sun.

"I don't think I've ever seen this model of an airplane?"

"The superior said it was a new design, which doesn't seem to be a big deal?"

"It's very reliable to be able to fly so far!"

Many leaders looked at the appearance of the plane and discussed it one after another.

When the plane slowly stopped, the leaders, only then did they take a closer look at the plane, and the rivets on the plane were all brand new.

The two test pilots looked relaxed, and the person in charge of the airport asked in surprise: "It seems that you are not very tired?" ”

"Leader, the aircraft uses advanced hydraulic control technology, and we are very relaxed." The two test pilots, as well as the communicator and the two ground crew, immediately saluted and replied.

"Whether you're tired or not, eat first!" The leader here didn't ask more carefully, and said directly.

"Thank you, leader, let's check the plane first, then refuel, and take off to the plateau in an hour." One of the two test pilots spoke.

"Then it's up to you." The airport leader and several other leaders did not force it, but saw two ground crews move a ladder from the cargo compartment and began to inspect it.

At this time, the correspondent took the maintenance card and carefully checked each item.

The airport leader and several other leaders looked at the plane carefully, and the more they looked at it, the more they liked it.

"I didn't hear of any department plane going to succeed in my meeting last month?"

"Two months ago, I heard that the last project had failed!"

"Which factory made this? It's a strange design, putting the engine on the wing? ”

While watching, the leaders wondered that the leaders present were all related to the troops, either the person in charge of the airport or the leader of the troops.

After 20 minutes, the ground crew checked and refueled.

After refueling, it was another 20 minutes, and there was only 20 minutes to give the crew food.

Pilots are particular about eating during long flights, and they can't eat anything with too much water.

However, this time the distance from the southwest to the plateau is only a few hundred kilometers.

"Which factory made this plane?" There was something unclear on the phone, and during the meal, the unit leader asked the pilot.

"Kyoto Heavy Industrial Equipment Factory!" The pilot who led the team immediately replied.

When the leaders present heard this, they felt a little confused, but fortunately, a leader slapped the table: "Is it a motorcycle factory?" ”

"The leader is right, we also received an urgent task a few days ago, and the motorcycle factory has built all the planes, so we were allowed to go to the test flight." The pilot who led the group nodded as he ate.

"What is the configuration of this plane, and how is this engine placed in the middle of the wings?" A troop leader asked with some confusion.

"This aircraft engine is a P51 Mustang engine, optimized and improved."

"I heard from the people in the motorcycle factory that the reason for this design is to facilitate the installation of machine guns in the engine room, and two machine guns or heavy machine guns can be installed in the current hatch and the hatch behind it."

"It is said that bomb pylons can also be set up to drop bombs."

"Originally, the motorcycle factory was going to copy the C46 transport aircraft, but later it was found that the C46 transport aircraft was somewhat outdated and could not be equipped with weapons."

"That's why it was changed like this." The pilot who led the team had to answer, because the other party was of a very high level, and those who could appear here did not need to be kept secret.

“C46？” Most of the leaders present knew the C46, but did the plane have anything to do with the C46?

Not even the engine?

"The people at the motorcycle factory said that it would be changed like this."

"The load is 4.5 tons, and a combined fuel tank can be installed in the cabin, which can reach a maximum range of 4,000 kilometers."

"We're doing a long-range heavy-duty test this time, and if it's successful, the motorcycle factory will mass-produce the aircraft, but they're already continuing to produce it." The pilots who led the team actually knew the leaders of the troops here, so they could be said to be old leaders.

There is no way, now the circle of troops is so big, and everyone knows each other back and forth.

"Leader, we're leaving!" Seeing that the time was almost up, the pilots who led the team immediately stood up and saluted.

"Good!" Other leaders also stood up and saluted.

Originally, these leaders wanted to ask for credit for each other, but there was no way to lead it here.

Before taking off, I checked it again, that is, each checkpoint was opened to take a look.

Then the plane began to take off in the last rays of the setting sun, and the evening take-off was a test of the experience of the pilots, two of whom were experienced, and the other side of the plateau would be well prepared.

"Hurry up and call the leader, we need this kind of aircraft here, and the motorcycle factory should give priority to us."

"Yes, it's best for us to send supplies to the plateau in winter."

"This kind of aircraft has good low-altitude flight performance and can be airdropped."

"It's also good to use it to train the Airborne Forces!"

"I'm going to call and go to Kyoto to report to the leaders in person." After the plane took off, the leaders chatted briefly on the way back, and then left.

The people in the airport who know about this matter are kept secret, but they can't keep it secret on the pilot's side, and now there are more pilots, but there are no planes, even if it is a Yun-5 plane, there are not enough of them, let alone imported planes.

The best ones go to fly fighters, but the fighters at this time are not the ones you want to fly, because the engine life of the fighters at this time is too low, it is said that there are only more than 100 hours.

Since last year, the pilots have been required to take turns to fly the small planes that have been equipped with them, and the pilots are also happy to fly the small planes to patrol the border line, which is better than watching others fly.

Now that this twin-engine aircraft is so big, it will definitely not suffer a loss if it can fly.

After the plane landed in the southwest and took off successfully, the news was reported to Kyoto.

The leaders applauded one after another, it was not easy to fly to the southwest in one breath, the detour was close to 2,000 kilometers, and the distance was close to 2,000 kilometers in one breath.

The aircraft can carry 4.5 tons or 40 people, and 100 of these aircraft can quickly assemble 4,000 people at critical times.

So what if there were 200 of them?

300, 500, 500 per unit.

As long as you can make it yourself, the more the merrier.

The superior leaders enthusiastically discussed with the leaders how much of this aircraft should be produced, and then who should be given priority.

Liu Hai didn't go home tonight, just had dinner, and received good news after a while, the plane landed in the southwest, and after half an hour, the news came, and after the ground staff overhauled, the plane was normal.

After another half an hour, the plane took off from the southwest and headed for the plateau.

Bangs know that the plane is fine, and the probability of problems with this low-speed aircraft is not very high.

Bangs knew that he couldn't sleep, so he drew in the office, which was a drawing to prepare the airliner.

If you want to talk about the image, the passenger plane is a finely decorated house, and the cargo plane is a rough house.

The factory leaders did not go back tonight, when the plane landed in the southwest, and then took off in the southwest, the leaders in the factory also slapped the table excitedly.

In the past, the leaders of the factory did not know the situation of domestic aircraft research and development, but now they know that the aircraft manufactured by their factory is a unique seedling in terms of transport aircraft, and they will soon produce passenger aircraft, which is another unique seedling.

As for what the engine is backward and what else, no one dares to say it at all, and if anyone says this, a group of leaders of the sub-factory will tear his mouth.

This is designed and manufactured by our own factory, and whoever looks down on our aircraft will look down on us and get him!

Of course, it is inevitable, and there are some people who feel uncomfortable, the same is to change the plane, why did others change it successfully? I spent 10 million on my side, and I failed!

In less than three hours, the plane successfully landed on the plateau, with a load of 4.5 tons, although this time the fuel tank was not full, but everyone was still very excited.

The highland airport has also received news a long time ago, and when the plane successfully landed at the airport, a large group of leaders were also here.

The pilots and ground crews led the team after checking and then refueling, this time about 1,200 kilometers to the edge of the Yellow River.

An additional 200 km of oil will be added to the amount of oil at this distance.

This time, it took off in just half an hour, and the leaders on the plateau side also hurriedly called Kyoto in private, this kind of plane, our side needs it, this kind of low-altitude plane is suitable for airdropping supplies to border posts and border camps.

You must know that it is very difficult to replenish supplies on the plateau, and not all planes can fly to the plateau.

The third brother next door will not let Big Brother develop an aircraft that can land at a border airport until the 70s, which is the An-32.

Of course, the data of others is too good, with a maximum load of 6.7 tons, a cruising speed of 470 kilometers, a maximum speed of 530 kilometers, and a maximum altitude of 9,600 meters.

It's a notch higher than this one designed by bangs.

Of course, the cost of use and maintenance, the one designed by Bang Hai is much more economical, and it is at least equipped many years earlier than the third brother.

Moreover, as long as the ground of this propeller aircraft is flat and steady, it can take off and land, that is, it can land at field airfields.

It is estimated that it won't be long before the third brother next door scolds the two big brothers sourly, why don't you give the plane.

Look at the poor ghost plane next door flying on the border again.

The department in charge of aircraft equipment was particularly lively tonight, first calling from the southwest, then from the plateau, and from the Yellow River in the early morning.

They all came to complain, they all said they wanted planes or something, and the leaders didn't sleep all night.

For these leaders, it is completely fine to stay up all night, and it is okay to go without sleep for a few days and nights during the war.

The plane took off yesterday after 12 o'clock, flew to the southwest, spent seven hours, repaired for an hour and then took off, arrived at the plateau at nearly 11 o'clock, took off from the plateau at 11:30, flew for more than four hours to reach the edge of the Yellow River, and took off to Kyoto at five o'clock with full fuel.

The Yellow River is less than 1,200 kilometers from Kyoto, and many people on the motorcycle factory don't know that there is a transport plane built in the factory.

"Xiao Liu, hurry up and prepare, the leaders are coming to the factory, and the plane will land in 40 minutes." After seven o'clock, Sun Aiguo hurriedly came to the maintenance department and found that his bangs had already begun to wash, so he left quickly after dropping a sentence.

Sun Aiguo didn't sleep all night, but he almost jumped up while walking, he was too excited.

This time, the higher-level leaders postponed the morning's work and brought a group of people here to wait for the end of the plane heavy load experiment.

The 20-hour flight, with a distance of more than 5,000 kilometers, is enough to explain everything, that is, the plane is fine.

And as a motorcycle factory that manufactures aircraft, it is definitely worth looking at by the superiors.

After seven o'clock in the morning, the road was busy, the traffic police immediately blocked the traffic, and several minibuses behind the police car quickly passed the intersection.

Many people are curious, which leader is this who traveled so early? In such a hurry?

The minibus came to the gate of the motorcycle factory, and the comrades of the armed forces department of the motorcycle factory were already in place at the gate.

Even the people who worked at the rolling mill opposite were surprised, what kind of leader is coming.

When the superior leader stepped off the bus and waved to everyone, everyone cheered excitedly.

The people who were about to enter the rolling mill hurriedly waved their hands, and the superior leaders waved around, and then entered the motorcycle factory surrounded by other leaders.

Then everyone looked at each other and laughed, because it was obvious that everyone had not slept well, and they all had red circles under their eyes.

Then I got on the bus again, because the motorcycle factory gate to the motorcycle factory test flight runway, a full number of kilometers, if you walk, you really can't catch the plane to land.

"You old comrade, you're doing a good job." The higher-level leaders looked at the runway several kilometers long and 100 meters wide, and instead of blaming Sun Aiguo, they shook hands with Sun Aiguo and praised Sun Aiguo for doing a good job.

Sun Aiguo laughed so much that his molars were about to come out, and he was speechless with excitement.

Then there was a group of deputy factory directors, one by one shaking hands with the superior leaders, and the superior leaders shook hands with the factory director and the deputy factory director secretary and asked, "What about another person?" ”

"Leader, I'm here." Liu Hai was behind a group of leaders, because when he was also getting into the car at the gate just now, he was dragged by the leader of the first machine department, and then he kept following the team.

"Is the little comrade good, I gave this old uncle another surprise." The superior leader looked at the bangs and said with a smile.

Bangs only scratched his head with a smirk, but he didn't say anything, and it was not easy to say anything at this time.

The leaders of several other ministries also liked the bangs more and more, and the long-range and heavy-duty tests of the aircraft proved that this was a very successful aircraft.

Although it is not as good as foreign advanced aircraft, there is one point, this is an aircraft that can be manufactured by oneself and designed by oneself.

Although there are many shortcomings compared to the aircraft parameters of the previous project, after all, the last one failed, no matter how tall your goal is, as long as it fails, it is a failure.

Moreover, there are not many planes that can go to the plateau, and the runway of the motorcycle factory is four kilometers.

"Leader, the plane has entered the sky over Kyoto!" Sun Aiguo got the report and immediately spoke, so the group of people all took out their binoculars, and even the bangs were stuffed in their hands.

The second watch is twelve o'clock at the latest.

(End of chapter)
