Set sail1992

Chapter 617 Comrade Xiao Zhang is Very Good

Zhang Qihang's words are not just talking nonsense. Huaxia has indeed always attached great importance to the development of drone technology and the application of drones. As early as the counterattack in the late 70s, we had already started to use the non-detection-5 long-range Unmanned surveillance aircraft.

80年代初，西工大下属的爱生技术集团推出的ASN-104/105战术侦查无人机是我军装备的第一代战术侦查无人机，能够为陆军不对提供向敌方纵深60千米（104型）/100千米（105型）以内战场的空中侦察情报和进行实时监视任务。

Zhang Qihang just mentioned that the UAV developed by NPU is similar to Gnat-750. It is also a few days from NPU’s love life technology. The model is ASN-206. This UAV was established in 1992 and completed at the end of last year .

Compared with the various UAVs previously equipped by our army, the ASN-206 is the first UAV with real-time video reconnaissance and transmission capabilities in our army. It can perform day and night air reconnaissance, battlefield surveillance, reconnaissance target positioning, and artillery calibration. Shooting, battlefield damage assessment, border patrol and other tasks can also be used for civilian purposes such as aerial photography, geophysical prospecting, disaster monitoring, and coastal anti-smuggling.

Compared with the UAVs previously equipped by our army, it is equipped with vertical cameras and panoramic cameras, infrared detection equipment, TV cameras, positioning and calibration equipment and other equipment, as well as digital aircraft control and management systems, integrated radio systems, and advanced mission control systems. The equipment's ASN-206 UAV can perform combat missions day and night at a depth of 150 kilometers.

With its outstanding performance, ASN-206 even won the first prize of next year's National Science and Technology Progress Award, and has become the main unmanned reconnaissance aircraft of our army in this century and the beginning of the next century.

As for our army's emphasis on drones after entering the 21st century, let alone the fact that the Pterosaur series, Rainbow series, and Xianglong series of drones that have been developed and equipped one after another are enough to explain everything, but in 1995 Today, the situation is completely different. Compared with the Mi Jun's Gnat-750 and tier-2 drones, which can be called Zenith-level drones with a range of thousands of kilometers and a voyage time of [-] to [-] hours, this The disparity is so huge that it is disappointing!
And under such circumstances, a young man who had never dared to think about it before, took the initiative to resolutely choose to develop the technology of low-power piston aeroengines, and in order to be able to cooperate with the existing fuel logistics support of the army System docking, and even the choice of unpopular aviation kerosene, how can this make Vice President Miao not be moved?
Vice President Miao took a deep breath and stared at Zhang Qihang: "Xiao Zhang, do you really think so?"

"Yes," Zhang Qihang nodded and said, "The engine is one of the core subsystems of drones, and it is also the biggest shortcoming of our country's drone technology. I am optimistic about this market."

This is a good boy...

Vice President Miao was deeply moved. He pursed his lips and asked, "Aren't you afraid that your research and development will be in vain?"

"Don't be afraid," Zhang Qihang said with a smile: "Anyway, we have to use the engine ourselves. If the country doesn't buy it, then we can use it ourselves and find a way to export it. Looking at the international market, the market for piston aircraft engines is not small. We Slowly go to airworthiness certification, the prospect is also very bright, don’t worry about losing money.”

Compared with large aircraft and high-power, high-thrust turbofans, turboprops, and turboshaft engines, it is much simpler and easier to obtain airworthiness permits for small-power piston aeroengines in Europe and the United States, because this small The market for high-power piston-type aeroengines is so small that the aviation management departments of various countries do not pay attention to this market at all.

Vice President Miao nodded: "It's good that you have such an understanding."

Zhang Qihang went on to say: "The reason why we develop piston aircraft engines powered by aviation kerosene is also to avoid direct competition with ROTAX, Continental and Lycoming. You know, piston aircraft engines powered by gasoline The patents of the company are almost occupied by the old piston aero engine giants such as ROTAX, Continental and Lycoming.

Compared with gasoline piston aeroengines, we have much more room to flex our muscles in the field of kerosene piston aero engines, and it is not easy to be troubled by others. "

Vice President Miao thought for a while and nodded: "That's true. In this way, you chose the route of aviation kerosene carefully."

Zhang Qihang smiled and said, "It's true."

Vice President Miao's expression became more and more relieved. He patted Zhang Qihang's shoulder vigorously and said, "Xiao Zhang, you have done a good job. If this is the case, I will tell you about your unit's piston aero-engine business later." Relevant units in the country should report it, so that everyone can know that there is such a thing.”

Speaking of this, Vice President Miao said meaningfully: "Your engine has been successfully developed, and the 'heart disease' problem of our country's drones has been solved."

Why is it a small part?
Because the high-thrust military turbofan engine, turboshaft engine and turboprop engine are still waiting to be solved.

Of course, Vice President Miao is very clear that these problems cannot be solved by a small body like Huateng Industrial Group, and he has never thought that Huateng Industrial Group can solve these problems. To be honest, in Vice President Miao's opinion Well, these two sets of engines of Huateng Industrial Group have already given me enough surprises, and it can even be said to be the biggest highlight and harvest of my trip to Langya this time.

………………

Generally speaking, the leaders of the Air Force Aviation University are very satisfied with these trips to Langya. Although neither the helicopter nor the engine has been finalized, after seeing these things with his own eyes, Vice President Miao personally expressed that he is very optimistic about them. The role of this helicopter of Huateng Industrial Group in the introductory teaching of helicopters has clearly stated that it will come forward to coordinate the work of airworthiness and certification of the helicopter-with the words of Vice President Miao, it almost means that the Air Force Aviation University has "hand-picked "Knowing the identity of this helicopter is what the leaders of Langya City want most.

Vice President Miao is in charge of the training of domestic army aviation and naval aviation cadets. After he affirmed the role of this helicopter of Huateng Industrial Group in the helicopter introductory teaching, next, the road aviation units of major military regions in China and the naval aviation The relevant leaders of the army came one after another, and the leaders of Huateng Industrial Group and even the relevant departments of Langya City were in pain and happiness...
