Chapter 138: Hushan Airport
Texas, as soon as the old horse got home, he opened Twitter and saw endless new news, @他的人多得不正常.
Obviously, it was the director of the Lin factory who was one round younger than him who had done something new.
After flipping through it casually, the screenshot of Lin Ju's Weibo was found, and Lao Ma's eyes narrowed slightly after reading it.
Planning to fly your own space shuttle?
Are Chinese people so radical?
But if you think about it, it doesn't seem very radical, H1 has already carried out five manned space flights, and there are many more unmanned flights, all of which have succeeded without failure, and it is enough to prove its reliability in the space industry.
In addition to the surprise, the old horse also gave birth to a kind of yearning and a slight jealousy.
The second-generation Crew Dragon spacecraft is still under development, and although it is not difficult to obtain a manned license from NACA, it may take a year to undertake the mission.
He also wants to go to heaven!
The cost of a launch of the Kelong spacecraft is very expensive, and the cost of a few unmanned flights and then a few manned flights is unaffordable for the current specaX, and the reliability of manned flights of its own spacecraft......
Lao Ma is usually confident, but he is still more cautious about manned spaceflight, unless the Dragon spacecraft flies seven or eight times to stabilize, otherwise he will not dare.
He sent a brief tweet: "Space belongs to the bravest people", and then sent three pictures of the Heavy Falcon ready to go, or to see the Rocket Bar family.
Recently, specaX has become hot again, and it seems that it is going to regain the throne of the strongest private space company, because the maximum LEO capacity of the Heavy Falcon has reached 69 tons, making it the strongest active rocket in the world.
Xinyuan's Xinyuan-2 will be second with 45 tons, and the rocket capacity of the Universe God V, Ariane 5, and Delta 4 is about 28 tons.
The strongest rocket of the China Space Agency is still the 14 tons of the Long March 2F, but when the Long March 10 is born, it will rank first in the world with a LEO capacity of 110 tons, and the low earth orbit capacity of the SLS Block 1 rocket of the Aramco moon landing is only 95 tons, but the cargo version of the Block 2 has a capacity of 140 tons.
The Long March 10 is expected to make its first flight around August this year, the Heavy Falcon has been confirmed to make its first flight on May 25, and the SLS is expected to make its first flight in December.
However, there are two other heavyweights that will appear this year: Xinyuan No. 2 A and Xinyuan No. 3.
The core stage and booster of the first Xinyuan No. 2 A have been manufactured, and the core stage has been strengthened to withstand the thrust of the booster, and it will be flown to Qiongzhou in three times in May to assemble the first test launch, which is expected to take place on May 29.
The 135-ton capacity of Xinyuan-2A will remain the first until the launch of SLS Block2, which will be delayed until at least 2019, and before that, Xinyuan-3 with a capacity of 247 tons of LEO has already flown off.
So the world number one record for heavy falcons can only be held for four days~
There is not much time left for heavy falcons.
……
On March 14, 80 kilometers away from Xinyuan B-level base, the construction of Hushan Airport started.
Hushan Airport will provide flying space for a number of flying clubs and skydiving clubs, and a large valley next to it will be designated as a flight area, which is particularly large, not too far from the city, but can minimize the noise of flying.
The idea of Hushan Airport first came from Lin Ju, and the airport of the B-level base is not small, but it is difficult to manage the trainees externally, and the first batch of 50 trainees will make the airspace difficult to manage when they reach the flight hour, and the follow-up is really unimaginable.
Don't think that 50 planes are very few, but at the beginning of the new batch of cadet training at the flight school on March 10, 50 students and 11 instructors who were already able to fly formed a super-large formation to pass through the field at high speed.
Even without any flight maneuvers, the 61 planes still formed a black cloud, leaving a considerable psychological shock on everyone.
You must know that the wingspan of the Caiyun trainer aircraft is 12.2 meters, and the formation in four rows is up to 35 aircraft, the spacing of the formation is kept at 50 meters, and the maximum width is two kilometers~
So he proposed to the local government to choose a remote place to build a new airport as a flight school.
This matter was reported layer by layer, and then someone from the province came.
The province said so, build a little bigger, six horizontal and four vertical, bulldoze a mountain to make a super large airport, but the specifications are very low, anyway, the take-off and landing are small planes, even if it is a meteor high education plane, it is only seven or eight tons, there is no need to be as high as a civil aviation airport.
Eight concrete runways are proposed for small and medium-sized aircraft, and two high-standard runways for jet high-tech aircraft, which can be completed in five or six months.
Such an airport, which can accommodate three to four thousand small aircraft, is open to flying clubs across the country, and with the freedom of Xinyuan's surrounding airspace, it will become the most lively flying venue in the country.
The provincial government is wholly owned by Hushan Airport, and each aircraft is paid annually according to the level, and Xinyuan Company does not have a penny, and there are 30% of the airport's revenue dividends.
The first two improvised runways for propellers were completed in as little as 40 days, including road repairs.
Lin Ju agreed very happily, there happened to be a place to set up the plane, Shi Fei and Hong have already delivered 220 Caiyun junior teaching planes, and now they are waiting on the road, so they can save themselves from spending money.
And the Air Force turned a blind eye to this blatant abuse of power for personal gain, and there was nothing secret about this airspace anyway, and there were many radars around it that were not afraid of any accidents, but they just routinely sent a few people to station.
Many domestic flight enthusiasts immediately saw the notice issued by the Shuchuan government, marking Hushan Airport and a large area of uncontrolled airspace around Hushan Airport and the surrounding area below 3,000 meters, and instantly became excited.
Immediately, a large number of flying clubs were ready to relocate (these clubs may only have one or three or four planes), and many more had the idea of moving to Chengdu.
Most of the small light aircraft in China are homemade or purchased foreign kits, because they are quite expensive without mass production, more than 100,000 cheap, more than 300,000 expensive, and the number of people who can fly is quite a lot in the country.
Isn't it the most troublesome thing for them to fly into the air, and now that there is an uncontrolled area, wouldn't it be much easier.
The Shuchuan government is also quite happy, in the future, Hushan Airport will have less than 3,000 aircraft, so how many modification factories will be fed, and how many people are willing to fly? Wouldn't it be another tourist highlight?
It doesn't cost much to build Hushan Airport at all, the land is used in vain, the airport standard is simple, the light aircraft is a flat open space that can take off and land, and the layer of cement is done, and the high-grade ones are not high, and there is only a small area.
On the contrary, the budget will cost a lot of money to build the 15-kilometer road of Hushan Airport, but it is okay.
With the continuous efforts of the provincial leaders, the aerospace industry in Shuchuan is flourishing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it will be a major industrial province in the future!
