April 19, 10 a.m., B-class base airfield.

More than 400 people, including 207 representatives from 114 supporting enterprises supplying important components for An-1250, representatives of AVIC's design institutes such as Shaanxi, Xifei, Hafei, Chengfei and Shenfei, as well as senior executives of the Space Administration, Aviation Development Commission, provincial government, and central superiors, gathered on the side of the runway.

The higher-level leaders originally went to Rongcheng for a routine inspection according to the schedule, and when they heard that Xinyuan's world-surpassing super transport plane would fly today, they specially invited him, so they simply rushed here.

He was surrounded by a large group of provincial and municipal leaders, as well as high-level officials from Xinyuan, who introduced him to the meaning of this plane.

The superior leader waved his hand: "I may not understand the technical parameters you said, but such a big plane, much larger than the Y-20 I saw, this plane swings there, it is like a hill, even a layman knows that this is a great plane!"

Chief Engineer Anderov, you are a Chinese national, and this aircraft is also made in China, so I think this is a large Chinese aircraft, and it will continue to be produced in the future, right? ”

Anderov: "My grandfather was a Tatar, I was also a Tatar, I used to be in Mongolia, and then I was sent to Moscow, strictly speaking I remember that my surname was Boljin, and now I think I am Chinese."

The entire industry chain of this aircraft, from the screws to the engine blades, is designed and manufactured by Huaguo engineers except me, and they have no imprint of other countries. ”

Wang Xun: "I am responsible for the design and supervision of the manufacture of moving parts such as wing flaps and ailerons of this aircraft, and the aero engine is also derived and developed by the aviation development department on our XW series, and the eight engines are completely produced by Xinyuan factory. ”

Superior: "The 33-ton thrust engine is twice as strong as the one our army is developing, and it's good that you solved this heart problem." ”

Lin Ju stepped forward at this time and asked the two engineers to bring a hard board with paved rice paper and ink on it:

"We have named this aircraft 'Yunpeng', and we hope you will name it."

Then, Lin Ju got the two big characters of "Yunpeng" written by his superiors himself, which will be rubbed and enlarged, and will be used as the flight livery of the An-1250 in the future.

The current An-1250 is just a simple bright white primer and a huge number under the nose: B-4043.

The An-1250 was pulled out as early as three o'clock in the morning, and this test flight was only filled with 50 tons of fuel, and it had to come down after a short flight.

With half an hour left before the scheduled test flight, the superiors were still asking more questions:

"What kind of material is the wing of such a large aircraft, and will there be a strength problem?"

Wang Xun: "The wing of the An-1250 is a high-strength composite material, but the main material is aluminum alloy, we implant special fibers in its skeleton, and the internal fuel will bear an additional weight of about 500 tons, but the strength is completely rich." ”

Superior: "How much did you spend on this plane, and how many are you going to build?" ”

Lin Ju: "Counting the R&D expenses, each An-1250 will cost about 4.8 billion yuan, and if the production of 10 aircraft will be reduced to 3.5 billion, but there is not so much demand."

The former alliance only planned to build two An-225s in order to transport the Buran space shuttle, and we only need to transport large and super-large rockets, spacecraft, and structural parts of large space shuttles, and the two rotations are completely sufficient. ”

Superior: "In other words, you spent 10 billion just to save some time?" ”

Lin Ju: "It's not some time, we will implement a plan this year, the frequency of launches will be very high, just heavy rockets and giant rockets, maybe no less than ten times, it is too slow to ship it, it is too late." ”

Superior: "Can I hear about this plan later?" ”

……

"Tower, Yunpeng has completed the self-inspection, is in good condition, can take off, can take off."

"4043, hold the state, wait for the take-off command to complete."

A staff member trotted to Lin Ju and his superiors and handed over the intercom.

"Mr. Lin, the plane is ready."

Since the engine of the An-1250 had already started to heat up, the scene seen from the crowd had been distorted by the wake, and the shrill roar needed to be spoken loudly to drown it over.

Lin Ju handed over the intercom to his superior, who was surprised, but still took the intercom.

Lin Ju said loudly: "Leader, this time I ask you to give the first flight order for the An-1250, it will take off with our aerospace dream, next time I also hope you come, at most two years, C832 will take off!"

That one will be your special plane, and you will personally order the test flight! ”

The superior's hand holding the intercom was wrapped around his chest, and he said with a smile:

"Good! I await your good news! Then he picked up the intercom, took a deep breath and said aloud:

"Permission to take off!"

About four or five seconds after the end of the voice, the sound of the engine began to increase noticeably.

Tao Changhong stood beside Yang Wei and shouted hoarsely in the latter's ear:

", what the hell!"

Yang Wei turned his head and shouted with all his might: "Even if it's a ghost, it's a good ghost who can grind!" ”

They wanted to say something next, but the XW-30's engine was getting louder and louder, and people hurriedly put on the headphones that had been prepared for a long time, plus thousands of base personnel were watching the giant beast parked 700 meters away.

In the cockpit of the An-1250, the two test pilots sit relatively open, and the cabin layout is also very interesting, which is a horizontal "3" shape, which semi-surrounds the two pilots, and various switches surround it, as if driving a spaceship.

In fact, the feeling is true, sitting at a height of 27 meters and looking at the runway, you will feel that the runway is not as wide as the body, and the scenery on the ground seems to have been reduced in equal proportions, so there is a natural sense of overlooking.

"Tower, please report if the flaps are down."

"The flaps have been lowered, the visual condition is good, and it's over!"

The tower confirmed that the status of the An-1250 was very normal, and the two test pilots dared to continue the operation.

Unlike ordinary transport aircraft, the sound insulation of the An-1250 is very good, the noise heard in the cabin with eight engines running will not be higher than that of a civil airliner, and because the fuselage is too heavy, the flight attitude will be quite stable, so it is likely that something happened to the wing, and the pilots are ignorant of it, and sensors and ground assistance are needed.

Given a clear command, Captain 01 continued to increase throttle thrust while releasing the wheel brakes.

Under the torque formed by the thrust above the wing, the nose of the nose was sunk and the nose was hydraulically dampened and pressed down, and the nose was slightly raised backwards, and then the roar of the engine became higher and higher, jumping forward like a horse breaking free from the reins.

The big guy standing in the front row with slightly squinted eyes pulled open the earmuffs slightly to reveal a little gap, and the roar that resounded in the sky immediately made him tremble, and reflexively buckled the earmuffs back.

The An-1250 began to glide on the ground with a mass of 440 tons, and people only felt that their legs were also heavy, as if they were under heavy pressure with the ground.
