Chapter 1466 30-ton tactical transport aircraft (fourth update)

"30-ton class?" Jiang Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this. This is indeed an ideal class for a tactical transport aircraft.Because with the development of technology, the weight of some weapons and equipment continues to increase.The original [-]-ton class can no longer meet the needs of tactical transportation in this area.If it is of the [-]-ton level, it can meet the transportation work of most of the weapons and equipment in the world except for heavy equipment such as main battle tanks for a long time to come.In this way, it can not only meet the tactical transportation needs of our air force.Moreover, it can use such an absolute advantage to enter the international transport aircraft market, thereby occupying a place.

In addition, why is it said to be an ideal level for tactical transport aircraft.This is also because the transportation tasks undertaken by tactical transport aircraft are different from those undertaken by strategic transport aircraft, and all they undertake are frontier tasks on the battlefield.Apart from other factors, the ability to adapt to the runway alone is not enough for strategic transport aircraft.Because of the heavy weight of the strategic transport aircraft itself, plus the cargo, it is difficult to take off and land on the simple runway.As for this weight, this can be regarded as the maximum limit that the field simple runway can withstand take-off and landing weight.

Seeing the way everyone looked at him, Jiang Chen knew that he had lost his composure just now, so he quickly said, "Hehe, I thought of something, you go on, go on."

Regarding Jiang Chen's words, Mr. Cui didn't ask, but continued: "Well, in terms of power, of course, I'm talking about the entire platform, because we are lacking in this area. So we can only choose the technology that is rare and slightly less Low, and it is also a relatively mature turboprop engine. A total of four turboprop engines are arranged on the military transport aircraft, and the maximum design power of a single unit is 3700 kilowatts, about [-] horsepower. Of course, if conditions permit, we will get the engine technology later. If there is a big improvement, then we can also replace it with a more powerful turboprop engine, or even a turbofan engine."

"The main purpose of a military transport aircraft is to carry out air transport missions and carry various military equipment and personnel. In this sense, military transport aircraft are designed around the cargo compartment. So after our many studies and demonstrations, we will The cabin of the aircraft is designed as a round arch at the top, and the two sides are slightly arced and the rounded corners transition to a straight bottom edge, thus forming a large-scale wide-body cabin and utilizing the interior space of the transport aircraft to the maximum extent. Your side Come and see." Immediately, Cui veteran Jiang Chen guided the rear hatch of the transport plane, asking Jiang Chen to check the situation inside.

Under Cui Lao's gesture, Jiang Chen walked into the cabin.Although this transport aircraft is still in the research and development process, the interior of the cargo warehouse looks very simple, and various equipment and some messy lines can be seen everywhere.But you can still see the general situation, and the whole freight yard still looks very spacious.

Seeing Jiang Chen showing his satisfaction with a smile, Elder Cui said with a smile: "Under the transport plane, we have specially left hidden slide rails. In the past, such slide rails could only be installed temporarily, which was time-consuming, and it was difficult to It’s more in the way. And our hidden slide rail is flat with the ground of the cabin, so there will be no staggering launch. When using it, you only need to put a special pulley on it, which is very convenient. And Xiao Jiang , Did you notice that we also set up some hexagon socket bolts throughout the ground."

Jiang Chen looked down, and sure enough, there were rows of these hexagon socket bolts on the ground.However, these bolts are relatively small on the one hand, and on the other hand, they do not protrude from the ground, leaving only hexagonal holes, so they are very inconspicuous.

Seeing Jiang Chen's curious look, Mr. Cui introduced with a smile: "This kind of hexagon socket head bolt has an advantage, that is, it can be inserted into the ground without protruding out of the way. So we installed many such bolts throughout the cabin. Bolt. Usually it will not have any effect, and it will not become an obstacle or deficiency. When you use it, such as installing and fixing some equipment or things in the cabin, these bolts can be unscrewed to fix it. And set There are so many, not only for fixing equipment, but also for a very important role, which is to place seats.

This kind of tactical transport aircraft usually transports goods, but it also transports some personnel.For example, paratrooper airdrops, or the airfield delivery of troops.Therefore, this requires that these occupants must be properly accommodated during the flight.This is not simply a matter of placement, but other factors must also be taken into consideration.For example, if they are not properly placed, these crew members may become fatigued during the long-term completion, consume physical strength, and affect combat effectiveness.And after arriving at the target area, because of this consumption, it cannot be put into battle immediately.

Therefore, through our repeated design demonstrations, we have made full use of the space inside the cabin.So on the crew, our transport aircraft can transport 120 passengers at a time.If there is a special need, we can also add a layer on top of this for carrying people, so that it can transport 150 people at a time. "

"Then what if they are fully armed paratroopers?" Jiang Chen interrupted and asked.

Hearing Jiang Chen's question, Elder Cui replied with a smile: "This paratrooper needs a lot of space, so there should be fewer people, probably around 80 to 90 people."

Jiang Chen was very satisfied with this number, so he nodded and continued to ask, "What about the voyage?"

"As for the voyage, it is actually calculated according to the weight of the cargo it carries. Its designed full-load voyage is 25 kilometers, and the voyage of about [-] tons is [-] kilometers. Twenty tons is [-] kilometers. Kilometers, [-] tons is [-] kilometers, and its maximum range can reach [-] kilometers. It can be said that in terms of current transport aircraft, the range of our transport aircraft is no worse than those of strategic transport aircraft." Cui Lao explained with a smile , and Jiang Chen also saw the self-confidence revealed in the smile.

Jiang Chen raised his head and touched the messy wires scattered outside, and then asked, "What about the aircraft's avionics system, we have always been weak in this regard."

Cui Lao nodded and said: "It is indeed the case. In terms of avionics, we can learn from very few materials and real objects. However, we must thank you in this regard, and we have a turning point in this regard."

"Thank you?" Jiang Chen looked puzzled.
