Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 1467 Achieved first flight years ago (fifth update)

Regarding this, Mr. Cui laughed and said, "You forgot the C_130 you bought for us."

Oh, Jiang Chen patted his forehead and said, "I really forgot about this, so our avionics technology comes from this plane."

Cui Lao shook his head and said: "Part of it is that we dismantled the whole plane piece by piece, and then reassembled it back, so we can understand the C130 thoroughly. From this, we have learned a lot of knowledge and related technologies. And this part of the technology has also been applied to this aircraft, and part of it is about avionics technology. The reason why I say part of it is because we found through research that the technology on this C130 is compared to the current There is still a certain gap in the cutting-edge related technologies. Therefore, except for a part of the avionics system of our aircraft, a large part of it is designed by ourselves. In this regard, we can thank our electronic Components and integrated circuit laboratories. Without their help, I am afraid we will have a long time to toss in this regard.”

Seeing Jiang Chen nod his head, Elder Cui continued to say to Jiang Chen, "Xiao Jiang, the cockpit is in front, let's go there and have a look."

After Mr. Cui and the others came to the cockpit, Jiang Chen finally saw the control center of the entire transport plane.To be honest, before this, Jiang Chen's impression of the cockpit of most aircraft in this era was the kind of countless instruments and switch buttons, and the densely packed dashboard, which made it impossible for people to start.Especially on Soviet aircraft, this situation is even more serious.But when Jiang Chen came to the cockpit, he found that the cockpit of this transport plane was very different from most of the planes of this period, especially the Soviet planes.First of all, the whole cab feels very new. Various instruments and switch buttons are divided into different areas according to different functions, and the displacement is carried out in an orderly manner, which is very neat.

What's more, it attracted Jiang Chen's attention, that is, there are a few relatively large screens on the instrument panel in front of the driver's and co-pilot's seats that are particularly conspicuous.Although there is still a big gap with the modern screen display system of later generations, it has done a good job.Although the monitors used in these screens are still the flat-screen monitors of this period, they are still far behind the LCD screens of later generations.

Jiang Chen made the cockpit seat and found it very comfortable. Although the entire pilot cockpit seat is not made of leather, it is much stronger than the original sponge cushion on the plane, and some ergonomic designs have also been carried out.Between the legs, there is a two-handed gimbal joystick.In this regard, it is similar to the universal joint joystick of the Soviet system, which is different from the one-handed joystick of the West.The reason why it is designed in this way is to be able to drive the aircraft better, and it is more in line with the driving habits of our pilots.

Seeing Jiang Chen fiddling with the joystick, Mr. Cui introduced with a smile: "We have also made relevant improvements and technological breakthroughs in the flight control system. It can be said that the original mechanical transmission has all been changed to the current telex system. Compared with the mechanical transmission system, the control of the electric transmission system is more flexible and more precise, which can be said to be a breakthrough in related domestic models."

Jiang Chen nodded when he heard the words, and then asked: "So, our transport plane is now only waiting for a breakthrough on the engine side."

Cui Lao nodded and said: "That's right. As far as the fuselage structure is concerned, we are now short of the engine. As long as the engine is in place, we can immediately carry out the installation and commissioning work. After the static test, we can immediately carry out the ground test. After the test drive and the ground test drive have no problems, the first flight can be carried out."

"First flight?" Jiang Chen rubbed his chin, then began to think about it.After a while, Jiang Chen raised his head and sprinted towards Elder Cui and asked, "Then according to your estimate, is it possible that our plane completed its maiden flight a year ago?"

Years ago, Mr. Cui thought for a while, then nodded and said: "If the engine problem can be solved, then it is still possible. Although there is still a lot of work to be done before the test flight, but if you hurry up, you can still catch up with the next year." It was the first flight before. What, is this important?"

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "I thought it was the first flight a year ago, and then spread the news. On the one hand, it can be regarded as an inspiration to the people of the country. It can be regarded as a New Year greeting to the people of the country, and to our aviation manufacturing and domestic industries that are currently in the doldrums." On the other hand, I also want to hold a promotion meeting and invite some customers who are interested in this aspect to participate in this first flight event. On the one hand, this is also to show our corporate image and national defense strength. Second, I also took the opportunity to recommend it to these customers. This kind of transport aircraft is not like a fighter jet, so the restrictions are not so strict in this regard, and I also want to seize this part of the international market earlier.”

"If that's the case, then there's no problem. Let's try to achieve the first flight within this year." Elder Cui turned to look at Elder Lu.

Elder Lu understood, then nodded at Jiang Chen and said, "Time is tight, but it can still be completed. Although the engine has not been successful, we can carry out other test items first. For example, the static test In this way, the time can be greatly shortened. Don’t worry, we will definitely come up with a qualified prototype and make the first flight smoothly.”

"Okay, then I'll just wait for the good news." Jiang Chen was overjoyed. If he could achieve his first flight at a young age, it would be great for Jiang Chen.This is probably the most influential news of the year for the Chinese people, and even for the world.

In fact, there is one thing Jiang Chen didn't say, that is, what he also wanted was to be able to start production as soon as possible.Putting it into production earlier means that it will be profitable earlier. As long as it is profitable, it can subsidize the current huge project research and development costs.In fact, a large amount of expenses in the past few years were funds transferred from abroad by Jiang Chen through special channels.Although it is still their money, it is more troublesome to turn it around, and there are certain risks.Especially a project like this is inherently sensitive, so I have to be more cautious.

There is another one, that is, Jiang Chen knows that we will soon hold the first air show.This can also be regarded as a grand event for our country's aviation and military industries, so we must come up with some equipment for the town.We must know that in terms of aviation, we are still very backward at this time, and we only use some relatively backward equipment for display.Compared with the advanced equipment at those famous air shows, the aircraft and equipment we displayed were even ridiculed as some second-hand worn-out equipment, while our air show was ridiculed as a second-hand market.
