Chapter 1293 Get some An-124s back
In fact, most people don't know much about An 124.You may be more familiar with An-12, or An-225 transport aircraft, and another series of Il-76, which should be the representative of Russian transport aircraft.As the An-124, this transport aircraft has always been very low-key, or mysterious.But what you may not know is that the An-124 was once the largest and heaviest transport aircraft in the world.And the An-225 behind it, the largest transport aircraft in the world, was also developed and improved on the basis of the An-124.

An-124, NATO code-named 'Condor', designed by the Soviet Union's Anton * Fu Design Bureau, is currently the second largest transport aircraft in the world.The first one has already been said before, it is the An 225 developed on the basis of it.Strictly speaking, the An-124 is actually the largest mass-produced transport aircraft, while the An-225 is only a verification aircraft, or a prototype aircraft.Because it itself is not used for ordinary cargo transportation, but is used to carry Su * of course the Blizzard space shuttle.The An-124 replaced the An-74 strategic transport aircraft that was discontinued in 22, and is superior in performance to the old American C-5 transport aircraft.An 124 nicknamed "Ruslan (Ruslan), Ruslan is the name of a hero in Russian folk tales. An 124 is produced by Russia's Aerostar SP Factory and Ukiev Aircraft Factory respectively. By 56, the project was temporarily At the time of discontinuation, a total of [-] of this aircraft had been produced.

The thick fuselage of the An-124 has a pear-shaped cross-section. The main wing is a swept-back trans-type upper monoplane. The four nacelles under the wing are equipped with a D-4T turbofan engine with a thrust of 23400 kg.The engine was developed by Zaporosh "Progress" machine-building design bureau with a thrust reverser.Both the nose and the tail are equipped with full-size cargo doors, which can be opened upwards, left and right, and cargo can freely enter and exit through the cargo compartment.The belly of the An-18 is close to the ground, which is convenient for loading and unloading.The landing gear is a tricycle type with 124 wheels.

The cargo compartment of the aircraft is divided into upper and lower floors. The upper cabin is relatively narrow and can accommodate a total of 6 crew members and 1 cargo handler. In addition, the upper cabin can also carry 88 passengers.The lower main cargo compartment has a length of 36 meters, a width of 6.4 meters, a height of 4.4 meters, a load of 150 tons, and a take-off weight of 405 tons.This indicator is about 17 times that of Laomei C2, 5 times that of C1.25, and 22 times that of An 1.875.It can be said to overwhelm the pack in the field of transport aircraft, only lagging behind the An-225, which was improved and developed on its basis.

The front and rear doors of the cargo compartment of the An-124 transport aircraft are opened and closed by hydraulic devices, which can be opened within 7 minutes and 3 minutes respectively.There are 2 cranes with a lifting capacity of 10 tons on the roof of the cargo hold, and 2 additional winches with a pulling capacity of 3 tons on the floor.Due to the large cargo space, the An-124 can carry large cargo such as the fuselage of an ordinary aircraft, tower parts of a chemical plant, passenger cars, and even subway light rail trains.

There are toilets, bathrooms, kitchens and two rest rooms on the An-124, so the pilots can get a better rest during long-distance flights.The airworthiness when used in civil aviation transportation is fully considered, and the noise characteristics meet the noise standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization.Moreover, it is so backward compared with the aircraft on-board equipment produced by the former Soviet Union, which is the instrument cockpit in our traditional impression.This aircraft is equipped with weather radar, navigation/map radar, satellite navigator, 2 sets of inertial navigation devices, large moving map display and large radar screen, etc., which can be described as quite advanced.

It is precisely because he is worried about so many advantages that Jiang Chen wants to own this transport plane so urgently.Jiang Chen even decided that as much as this transport plane can make, he can make as much as he can, without setting an upper limit.The reason for making such a big decision is also because Jiang Chen and his colleagues are optimistic about the market prospects of this large transport aircraft.Especially the remarkable achievements of this transport aircraft in international commercial transport, and the important role it plays in major strategic transport, this is the key to Jiang Chen's determination.

After making this decision, Jiang Chen contacted Fatty immediately.Let him start to think of a way to get in touch with the general, and then get this aircraft as much as possible.And Fatty knows that this kind of aircraft, which is a circle larger than the An-22, naturally has its extraordinary features, and being a circle larger, it must be much better than the An-22.Isn't it also said in our traditional concept that the bigger the better, the more expensive it is.However, for Jiang Chen to be so enthusiastic, or so decisive, and to ask him to get as many fights as possible, and the more the better, he didn't quite understand it.

But after Jiang Chen's explanation, and the fat man's absolute trust in Jiang Chen, he also tried his best to push forward this matter.But unexpectedly, when he mentioned this matter to the general, the general shook his head and refused.And also told Fatty that this transport plane is their most advanced model and it is impossible to sell it to the outside world.But for the fat man, nothing is impossible, especially since the general has already made such an opening.This shows that there is still hope, but these have not yet reached the price tag that the general wanted.

So the fat man added fire to it, and raised the related price appropriately.At first the general hesitated, but as the fat man's price became more and more attractive, the general finally let go.However, he did not agree immediately, but proposed to talk to Fatty's superior in person.The general never believed that the fat man was, as he said, the deputy general manager of an ordinary private company.So in order to confirm Fatty's identity and to have a more in-depth conversation, the general made this request.

As for the general's request, Fatty couldn't answer for a while, so he could only report it to Jiang Chen.He knew that with Jiang Chen's status, he definitely couldn't go abroad at will.So how to handle this matter, whether to agree or not, still have to listen to Jiang Chen's opinion.

After Jiang Chen learned of this situation, he was actually a little hesitant.Because according to the current internal situation of those disintegrating countries, Jiang Chen has no way to go there, and the above will not approve it.In addition, whether this matter is reliable and feasible is also a question.But in the end, after careful consideration, Jiang Chen still decided to meet the general.

However, Jiang Chen would not go there, but let the general come to China to meet Jiang Chen.Regarding Jiang Chen's request, the general was a little hesitant, or rather apprehensive.However, under Fatty's operation and the attractive conditions, the general finally agreed to Jiang Chen's request and decided to come to China to talk with Jiang Chen in person.

After continuous negotiation between the two parties, the two parties finally reached an agreement on the meeting place and method.The location for this meeting is a military airport on our northwest border, and the general will secretly fly to this airport with the two An-12 and An-22 that Jiang Chen and the others have purchased, and then stand on the runway of the airport. Meet and discuss with Jiang Chen online.Of course, as a senior general of the former Soviet Air Force, he also has the ability to do it.As for us, Jiang Chen is going to negotiate with Zhang Sai again.But looking at it this way, it shouldn't be a big problem.
