"The world's No. 1 rocket is amazing, right?"

"It's amazing, I think it's an exaggeration when I watch TV."

"Do you know what I'm looking for you for?"

"I don't know."

In Chang'an, in a hotel, there was Li Xi sitting in front of Tao Changhong, one was the chief engineer of Yun 20, and the other was the chief engineer of Long March 5, and the two sat opposite each other.

Li Xi: "Xinyuan No. 2 A three 6-meter-diameter arrow bodies, An-1250 was transported over at once, you also design one, do not require the transportation of three, just transport one 6-meter diameter arrow body." ”

Tao Changhong: "You are in Jingu, you can't just ship it by sea, where can you use air transportation?" ”

“……”

Just kidding, Li Xi didn't have any right to ask Tao Changhong to design the plane, the two just happened to meet and talk.

Tao Changhong's 603 Institute is in Chang'an, and Li Xi came to Chang'an's Sixth Academy Base to see the specific parameters of YF135, and then thought about whether the Space Agency could also be airlifted, and met Tao Changhong during the technical exchange, and both of them went to see the launch of Xinyuan No. 2A before, and they sat down to talk about friends.

The significance of Xinyuan-2A is too significant, just because the CBC configuration will make people can't help but ignore it, and the space agency sent a lot of people to watch the first launch.

Tao Changhong also went, but it was a coincidence that he went to see An 1250.

The An-1250 landed on the runway of the Xinyuan launch site, although it is not a civilian airport, but the surrounding airspace is still particularly clear.

There is no way, the An-1250 is too big, and the tower is daunted.

On its way to Qiongzhou, the B4043 briefly passed by a route junction and lowered its altitude to avoid a busy route, before being photographed by passengers on a passing passenger plane.

Although it maintained a distance of more than 7,000 meters, the huge size of the An-1250 could not be hidden at all, making the passengers on the plane scream.

When they arrived in Qiongzhou, the two J-11Bs returned to the base after completing their training, and flew with the An-1250 for a while, and one J-11BS took a group photo of the other J-11BS and the An-1250.

Take it back to the base, take a look, good guy, the 21-meter-long J-11B feels like it is not as long as the main wing of the An-1250, it is a small point.

You know, the J-11B is a big aircraft that is famous for its hugeness!

Tao Changhong squatted in the cargo landing posture of An 1250, and felt a little desperate in his heart.

How can such a big plane be built!

After the An-1250 was born, the leaders of the 603 Institute immediately set their sights on the XW-30 engine, with a thrust of 33 tons, and both of them were rich for the Yun-20.

If the four of them come out to build a transport aircraft, they can build a super-large transport aircraft with a take-off weight of more than 600 tons, which is basically the level of the An-225.

It can hold almost 280 tons of cargo in its belly, and it can hold at least three 99A, which directly meets all the mission needs of the military in the future.

In addition, the spar structure of the An-1250 is also very eye-catching, which can withstand a load of nearly 1,000 tons, and the structural designer is definitely a genius.

Xinyuan Aerospace Company is obviously not a foreign country, they can produce their own XW-30, then there is absolutely no purchase limit, you can buy as much as you want in China, the heart disease problem that has been plaguing everyone, is gone~

Therefore, the leaders of the 603 Institute first stabilized the military, so that they should not rush to buy the An-1250, at least not so much, and let the 603 Institute build a few large planes, which are guaranteed to be larger than the Yun-20.

The military immediately put forward new requirements, requiring that the new large transport aircraft must be able to take off and land at the airfield where the Y-20 landed, and be able to fit three 99A main battle tanks, that is, the load capacity must not be less than 200 tons, and the structural strength must also be passed.

Tao Changhong looked at this indicator and thought to himself, isn't this an 225?

It can take off and land at the airport where the Y-20 lands, and the An-225 is almost OK, and the configuration of the An-225 is also quite good.

Anyway, it's a transport aircraft, and it doesn't require maneuverability.

It's that the Antonov Design Bureau may have some opinions, first it was copied by An-1250, and then Xifei will also be copied, can it be changed to a sheep wool?

However, within the 603 Institute, the ultra-large transport aircraft project codenamed Y-35 has been approved.

The maximum take-off weight is 650 tons, the maximum cabin load is 270 tons, the cargo compartment size is 6.4 meters * 5.2 meters, the length is 46 meters, and it is equipped with four XW-30 engines with a maximum thrust of 132 tons.

It's basically a four-engine version of the An-225, but the cargo compartment is slightly larger, and the structure has been strengthened to accommodate three 99A main battle tanks, that is, a tank platoon.

One more is okay in terms of weight, but the strength of the cabin may not be good, but it is okay to stuff a few armored vehicles, just right.

Anyway, the leaders of the Air Force have promised that as long as the cost of building them is not higher than 2 billion, they can purchase 20 aircraft first.

The capacity is more than three times that of the Y-20, but the price is less than three times, so what the Air Force actually wants is to increase the volume without increasing the price.

The reason why the title of Y-35 was given was because the Y-30 was a medium-sized transport aircraft that was occupied, and the Y-40 codename Air Force planned to give the An-1250, so the new aircraft of the 603 Institute was called Y-35.

The performance of the Y-35 is actually better than that of the An-225, the maximum fuel consumption of the four XW-30 is only 13 tons per hour, and the maximum fuel consumption of the An-225 can reach 16 tons, and the Y-35 can fly 25% more than the An-225 with the same oil capacity.

The Yun-35 initially planned to complete the first flight of the prototype in 3 years, don't ask why the time is so short, because the superiors have seen the An-1250 fly, and the time given to the Yun-35 was originally two years, and it was changed to three years after the 603 was scolded.

Three years is actually not a short time, mainly because the engine is ready-made, and it can save a lot of time without waiting for the engine for domestic aircraft design.

And there is also a potential factor: if there is a problem that cannot be solved when designing the Yun 35, it is really not possible to pull down the face to find Xinyuan, anyway, they are all domestic enterprises, so that they will not be unable to get technical support, but they have to pay a little price.

However, now Tao Changhong is a little entangled in what code to use for Yun 35, and he gave "Kunpeng" with high hopes for Yun 20, and this title seems to be more suitable for Yun 35......

Xifei is struggling with the Y-35, and Shaanxi is also struggling, and they are struggling with the Air Police-1000.

The early warning aircraft is very important as an air command platform in modern warfare, but the fuselage is simply a radar on the back of the aircraft and a mobile air radar station.

Huaguo's radar technology is quite good, the world's leading level, but the carrier aircraft is difficult to describe.

At the beginning, I bought the Il-76 from Lucia and got the Air Police 2000, which actually had good performance, but it was inconvenient to buy the Il-76, so it stopped after building four.

In 2012, the Air Police 500 made its first flight.

The carrier aircraft of the Air Police 500 is the Y-8, a four-engine propeller medium-sized transport aircraft, the Y-8 is used entirely because there are no other aircraft available, in fact, this platform not only has poor flight performance and is also worrying, the predecessor of the Y-8 is the An-12 transport aircraft of the Alliance, the old antique of the 50s.

Originally, Shaanxi Fei planned to use the Y-20 to change an early warning aircraft after the Y-20 matured, but now they have other ideas.

They took a fancy to the C832 wide-body large passenger aircraft and planned to use it as a model to develop the Air Police 1000.

For AWACS aircraft, the most important thing is, of course, the big plate on the back of the aircraft, that is, the radar, which is very heavy and consumes electricity, so the aircraft is required to have a large amount of power to supply power.

Ordinary military aircraft need special modification, but civil aircraft are different, they are born with large power generation, and they can be used without much modification.

In addition, civil airliners also have a feature that they are quiet and stable, so that radio operators can work well without interference.

The advantages of passenger aircraft are also fuel saving, long stay in the air, almost no need for maintenance, C832 can easily stay in the air for 24 hours, which is quite powerful for early warning command operations.
