Chapter 115: Different Paths to the Same End

Since he started to run for his life under the drive of the system, Lin Ju has not arranged time for himself for a long time.

Although he is not involved in the busy scientific and technological research and development, there are not many things in Xinyuan, especially in the last manned mission, there are too many intersecting parts, and energy is consumed at any time.

As the owner of a space company, Lin Ju has always had a dream: to go into space on his own spacecraft.

It's a pity that this was stopped by the company's top management with all their might, and they didn't say no, anyway, they just dragged it back, saying "wait for the space flight to stabilize".

It's not okay to enter the sky of 300KM, but it's okay to be under 30KM, right?

When Lin Ju saw that the ARJ21 was about to be modified, an idea suddenly popped up:

Now Xinyuan has obtained considerable aviation autonomy, the entire Xinyuan City and the surrounding seven cities of the airspace, 15,000 meters below the airspace can be applied for flying, more than 15,000 meters can fly casually, Xinyuan territory around 100 kilometers can fly without application.

There is an air force cover, and the sky is almost uncontrolled for Xinyuan.

So Lin Ju decided: to organize a flying team.

The number of astronauts needed to march into space at the crazy speed of the system will be extremely large, and it is estimated that 507 institutes will not be able to train them.

Moreover, Lin Ju plans to send the engineers into space, and it is too troublesome to go so far to the capital, so it is better to build a training center by himself and get a flight team to promote the employees' interest in flying.

By the way, I also practiced, and one day I quietly sat on the XN90 spacecraft and went into space while the executives were not paying attention, and I didn't even need to prepare for launch.

In order to show his professionalism, Lin Ju decided to design an entry-level small aircraft by himself, and was ready to show his skills when he unfolded the drawings, and then had to give up by the engineers of the aviation department:

"Boss, we all use electronic drawings, and there are not many drawings that are occasionally used for backup and retention."

“……”

"What's your name? How long has it been on the job? ”

"My name is Wang Xun, I used to be the deputy chief engineer in Shifei, I joined the company for four months, and I designed a transport aircraft before."

Lin Ju was stunned, he had only heard of Cheng Fei, Shen Fei, Shaanxi Fei, Ha Fei, and Hongdu, where is this Shi Fei?

"Shi Fei, SJZ aircraft factory?" Seeing Wang Xun nodding, Lin Ju couldn't help but wonder:

"I don't think I've heard of Shi Fei, you're still the deputy chief engineer of the transport plane, why was you let go so easily?"

Wang Xun hesitated for a long time, his face was full of embarrassment, and then he said:

"I designed the transport plane to...... Ship 5B. ”

"Yun 5? That is, in the 50s, we imitated the alliance in the 40s, which An-2 Yun 5? ”

Lin Ju's mind came up with a two-wing propeller master, and he immediately understood why Wang Xun easily changed jobs.

Forget it...... To do the director of the aviation department, this step must be upgraded to the system.

"I'm going to set up an air corps to train our own astronauts, what do you think should be done?"

Seeing Lin Ju skipping the unbearable past, Wang Xun breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly returned:

"Then there must be at least one low-speed primary trainer, one intermediate subsonic trainer, and one advanced supersonic trainer, and the pilots are trained gradually, with a cycle of at least two years."

Lin Ju: "Then let's design these planes first, and we can buy Xinyuan to produce them ourselves, it's too expensive to buy." ”

Wang Xun hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "Absolutely no problem, boss, I can design these planes, it won't take much time." ”

In his opinion, this is a good opportunity to improve the status of the aviation department, and now the first place in the company is the aerospace power department led by Guo Shen, the second is Anderov's rocket/aircraft design department, and the third is the electronics department, and the aviation department is almost at the bottom.

Just a few training aircraft, he, a B-level engineer, can't design it?

Wang Xun's movements were much sharper than Lin Ju's, and he turned on the computer and drew a three-view sketch with a few clicks:

"The speed of the low-level training aircraft should be controlled below 300 kilometers per hour, this is an aircraft for new students to practice, you can use a cheap piston engine, 300 horsepower is enough, with the front three-point landing gear, sliding cockpit."

Lin Ju looked at the simple diagram, isn't this the first teaching 6!

But Wang Xun also knew this, and defended:

"The configuration of this primary training aircraft is much the same, just copy the mature design, and there is no need to modify it."

Lin Ju: "No, the beginner 6 is too outdated and does not fit our positioning, this cockpit has been changed to a streamlined water drop cockpit for me, and the cost does not matter." ”

Wang Xun said that you are the boss, you are right, and immediately modify the cockpit in the side view to the water drop cockpit.

"Also, do I remember that the propeller plane had a rotational torque that required the pilot to manually push the rudder trim?"

"Yes, but the low-level training aircraft is not a big problem, and the students can overcome it."

"Change the fly-by-wire flight controller for me, let the computer trim, and let the students fly as easily as in the game."

Put fly-by-wire flight control on this broken propeller machine? Wang Xun felt that this was the first time he had seen the luxury of his boss.

But Lin Ju's opinion is far from over:

"The front wheels should also be fairing, so that the surface of the aircraft is smooth and light!"

"You can put a small radar under the nose, right? How can an airplane do without radar. ”

"Why are there still bare control lines? All in-machine wiring, hydraulic transmission! ”

In the end, Wang Xun estimated this luxury PROMAX version of the primary trainer in his heart, and felt that the cost had at least tripled.

At this time, Lin Ju was barely satisfied, and asked again:

"What about the engine? We don't need to build piston engines. ”

Wang Xun: "It's really not necessary, maybe we can find Nanfang Automobile and get a air-cooled supercharged V8 aero engine, which is also simple." ”

"Then finalize, let's call it CJ01 initial teaching machine after the initials, how long will it take to be produced?"

"20 days, the cost is about 350,000."

“……”

Lin Ju thought about it and felt that an aircraft of this level might not be difficult, and it was not an exaggeration to use Xinyuan's production capacity for 20 days.

"Then let's produce 50 first, what about intermediate trainers? Is it with a propeller or a jet engine? ”

Wang Xun wrote and drew on the paper casually for a while, and then raised his head:

"The cost of small jet engines is not high, but the cost of a propeller aircraft of this level is at least 1200 horsepower, and the cost is not low, so it is better to use a turboprop engine, the cost and power are good, and it will take little time to redesign.

And the horsepower is large enough, we use the coaxial anti-propeller design, which avoids the rolling torque generated by the torque from the root, if there is 2000 horsepower...... It's no problem to fly to 1050km/h, and the cost is controlled at about 1.8 million. ”

The turboprop engine is also a jet engine, but the power output method is driven by the main shaft to drive the propeller and the jet at the same time, due to the different designs of the proportion of output power will also be different, the cost of high-horsepower turboprop engine will be lower than that of piston engine.

Wang Xun's drawing speed was slower this time, after all, it was necessary to take into account the volume and center of gravity of the turboprop engine and the external resistance, and finally made a coaxial anti-propeller aircraft with a streamlined overall shape come to life.

This time Lin Ju was more familiar: "Westland Wyvern? ”

Wang Xun was anxious: "The design of the propeller aircraft has long been used up by the predecessors, and this can only be the same way!" ”
