As it is in Huating city and also in the suburbs, there are not many cars on the roads of this era, so we arrived at plant 55703 in less than an hour.
In that year, in order to develop the J-10, a group of experts went to Huating city and set up a large aircraft design institute, code 6640. At the same time, the 55703 plant of the air force was also delegated to Huating city to serve as the production plant of large aircraft. At the same time, they also shared a large airport for test flights.
Now, the aircraft is still in the final assembly stage, that is, in plant 55703.
When Qin Guan and others arrived here, it was already dark, and the general assembly workshop of the whole factory was still brightly lit.
In the final assembly stage, the scientific research personnel in the design institute are also stationed in the factory to participate in the final assembly of the aircraft. At the same time, it is also convenient to study various problems. Now they are working overtime.
A huge passenger plane appeared in front of Qin Guan.
The body is slender, with a lower single wing. Four engines hanging vertically under the wing have been assembled. The appearance outline of the whole body is very similar to that of Boeing 707. Now it is mainly the assembly of internal equipment.
Large aircraft are of great significance to the country.
Without large aircraft, there is no strategic mobility. Look at Eagle country. Every military operation, heavy transport aircraft fly thousands of times, and the main forces are delivered to it at the first time. At the same time, large aircraft are also the basis for refitting various special aircraft, such as early warning aircraft, air refueling aircraft and so on.
Now, standing in front of the plane, Qin Guan was very excited when he looked at the behemoth.
"Mr. Qin, I'm sorry I didn't go out to meet you." a middle-aged man came up and said to Qin Guan, "I'm the chief engineer. Just call me old horse."
"Old ma, I'm very sorry. I suddenly came interested this time and didn't say hello in advance." of course, Qin Guan can't call each other's old ma. It's too disrespectful.
Mr. Ma, one of the important veterans of the aviation industry in the motherland, is a contemporary figure with Mr. Song and Mr. Tu.
Born in a peasant family, he personally experienced the indiscriminate bombing of the aircraft of the invading army of the island country during the war,
I deeply feel that without our own aircraft industry and strong national defense, there will be no security of the motherland, national independence and happy life of the people. Therefore, he resolutely applied to the Department of Aeronautical Engineering of Huating Jiaotong University, determined to learn and master aeronautical technology and serve the motherland.
In September 1952, he graduated in advance according to the national arrangement and joined the construction of China's aviation industry. After that, he successively participated in the scheme design of Songhuajiang No. 1 small passenger plane, Heping No. 401 short-range jet aircraft and Heping No. 402 turboprop aircraft, mainly responsible for aerodynamic layout, performance calculation, handling and stability calculation, and contributed to the success of the first flight of Songhuajiang No. 1 aircraft. After that, the imitation work of the 6 aircraft was transferred to the aircraft, and the aircraft was put into the analysis of the influence of the atomic bomb, the hydrogen bomb shock wave and the light radiation on the aircraft. Served as the general technical director of yun-8 aircraft design, organized and led the surveying and mapping design of the aircraft, formulated the general scheme of Surveying and mapping design, and determined major change projects, laying a foundation for the subsequent surveying and mapping trial production of yun-8 aircraft.
All his life, he was dealing with big planes such as airliners and transport planes. Therefore, when the motherland began to decide to establish yun10, he was transferred.
Before that, the Han country had never had experience in the development of large aircraft. The development of yun-10 aircraft is the first sprint of aircraft design from 10 ton to 100 ton aircraft in the Han country. Whether it is the adoption of materials, the selection of overall layout, structure and system, as well as the application of design concepts, design schemes and design means, it is facing many new major topics and challenges.
However, Mr. Ma did not flinch, went up against the difficulties, and did not give up in the special period of previous years, striving to send Yun 10 to heaven as soon as possible.
These two years are the golden period for the development of Yunshi. It seems that the first flight will be realized in a few months.
Although he is nearly 50 years old, he is still climbing and rolling in the factory every day. Watching the plane gradually become a real object in front of him, his heart is full of joy. Now, President Qin is here again.
In the whole circle, Mr. Qin has long been well known. Mr. Qin appears in all aviation projects. Without his support, there will be no rapid development of aviation industry. Therefore, Mr. Ma heard that Qin Guan came. Although his own projects have nothing to do with Qin Guan, he hurried up.
"It's not easy for us to develop large passenger planes ourselves," Qin Guan said. "Large passenger planes are of great significance to our aviation industry. No matter how many difficulties we encounter, we should go on."
Qin Guan's words coincided with Ma Lao's meaning. He said to Qin Guan, "everyone is encouraging now. I hope this project can be completed as soon as possible and get orders as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Qin Guan suddenly thought of something.
There are many statements in future generations. Yunshi finally gets off the horse. People are sad about his fate. If he wants to keep Yunshi's project going, the most key is to have an order!
That's right. When Yunshi was made, the CAAC did not want it. It would rather buy it from abroad at a high price. That's such an attitude. It has changed from a key project to a project that everyone hates. Only those who experienced it at that time know the reason.
Qin Guan could not interfere with these, but Qin Guan could support them with his own practical actions.
How to support?
Of course, it is to sell this aircraft. Yes, it is.
This is simply impossible. For the sake of safety, if the passenger plane is not equipped in China, it is impossible to export it.
However, Qin Guan has thought of a buyer.
The Sabbath.
Under their own deception, the Sabbath has no good impression on the eagle weapons they are equipped with. As long as they move their hands and feet again, it shows that the eagle people have a back door and so on, they will certainly sell them cheaply, including air transport aircraft modified based on passenger aircraft.
So, what do they replace? In the past, Qin Guan didn't have anything suitable to take out, so how to deceive them to sell planes has always been a difficult problem for Qin Guan. Now, there is finally an object. Don't you just take out the big plane in front of you?
"Mr. Ma, this aircraft is good. I'm here to discuss and see if it's difficult for us to refit an air tanker. If we can refit an air tanker, our northern industrial company can push it to the international market."
When Qin Guan said this, Ma was overjoyed.
