What Zhuang Jianye said is a heroic spirit that he did not hesitate to die with a big order. As for his heart, he was even more happy. The air force set up the project, model 6.
What is this? Proper legal birth permit.
If Tengfei aviation manufacturing corporation wants to enter the field of manned aircraft, the biggest obstacle is not the technology, personnel, site and capital, but the legal access of the superior.
After all, aerocraft is different from refrigerators and washing machines. The things that can go to heaven are very important in any country. The examination and approval of qualification is very strict. As for the examination and approval of qualification, the project approval of new models is also very troublesome.
It was not that Zhuang Jianye did not want to take the formal road at the beginning, and asked the higher ministries and commissions to take off Aviation Manufacturing Corporation to produce manned aircraft.
However, in the overall layout of the domestic aviation industry under the Ministry's overview, the positioning of Tengfei aviation manufacturing corporation is the reform pilot of the development and production of advanced unmanned aerial vehicles and aerospace special equipment.
Because of this, the application of Zhuang Jianye can not be rejected, but it is not so positive.
In addition, the project of the new model also involves a lot of preliminary demonstration, expert review, feasibility evaluation and other work, which is troublesome and time-consuming.
While continuing to apply, Zhuang Jianye has carried out theoretical verification research on the old model of yun-5 for the purpose of scientific research.
Anyway, the plane provided by dongguai factory doesn't even have an engine. Tengfei aviation manufacturing corporation just has a turboprop engine on hand. It's not unusual to try it on.
So the Aviation Manufacturing Corporation launched the research and development project of improved yun-5 with such a poor reason.
The Ministry doesn't have any opinions on this. For the old model, the technical level is not high, and the aviation manufacturing corporation can go where it can go again, so it just turns a blind eye. As for funds, technology, equipment and production, the Ministry provides a small part of planned subsidies for scientific research, and the vast majority of them are undertaken by the aviation manufacturing corporation.
But even so, the aviation manufacturing corporation still does not jump out of the rules of the improved yun-5, even if the fuselage has been changed, even the mother of the old yun-5 is almost unknown, but the classic double wing design is still retained, there is no way to remove it, is it still yun-5?
Even if you come to the flight test center to do the static test of the aircraft, it is under the guise of scientific research.
According to Zhuang Jianye's original plan, after some ground tests and flight tests are completed, he can make use of the airline team of the head office to do several air transportation tasks with the nature of demonstration in the north and south of the border area, so as to accumulate some public praise and make use of the media and civil aviation contacts.
Then get an official model of Yun 5C or Yun 5D from the Ministry, and Zhuang Jianye's goal of getting on the bus first and then paying for the ticket is achieved.
As for how many orders can be obtained in the border areas and Tibetan areas, Zhuang Jianye has not really considered carefully. After all, this improved Yun 5 is only a breakthrough for the aviation manufacturing corporation to enter the manned aircraft, and a series of improvements are essential in the future.
After all, the biplane is good at medium and low altitude, but the adaptability at high altitude is not very good. Therefore, the profit growth point of the aviation manufacturing corporation in manned aircraft will naturally be placed in the second or even third generation of the improved yun-5 aircraft.
Such a layout is also in line with the development law of aviation manufacturing industry. After all, the high profit of aircraft also means high investment and long cycle in the early stage. Of course, take-off Aviation Manufacturing Corporation, which has just been involved in manned aircraft, also wants to be the peak, but the high probability shows that most aviation manufacturing enterprises still rely on accumulation.
Therefore, Tengfei aviation manufacturing corporation is ready to make a solid step in this respect.
However, Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation, which wants to keep a low profile, does not allow its strength. The application of a series of new technologies suitable for plateau flight directly attracted the attention of the army. Without saying a word, it threw down funds and participated in the project after giving the model.
That is to say, the higher authorities have approved the R & D and production capacity of Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation in the aspect of manned aircraft. The qualification and approval that had previously been blocked in front of Tengfei aviation manufacturing corporation is not a problem. What is the first way to get on the bus and then make up the ticket? What is the current way to get married after having children? I'll take care of you and just kick the gun.
If Zhuang Jianye doesn't agree, he will be kicked by a donkey.
Zhuang Jianye's side is happy, and the air force is not ambiguous. Because it is the equipment urgently needed by the army, everything is special. Soon, an expert group composed of the air force and ministries and commissions conducted investigation and research in the grain aircraft test center and Tengfei aviation manufacturing corporation.
After fully understanding the performance of yun-6 and the test data of the engine body, based on the high affirmation of yun-6, many feasible improvement suggestions are also given.
Half a month later, the air force, together with ministries and commissions, jointly reported to the science and Technology Commission for national defense. Then, according to the investigation of the expert group, the science and Technology Commission for National Defense issued the technical mission statement of yun-6 light transport aircraft to Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation, and the yun-6 project was officially approved.
To this end, the air force invested 10 million yuan, the ministries and commissions invested 10 million yuan, and the national defense science and Technology Commission provided 10 million yuan of special funds. A total of 30 million yuan was used as the research and development funds of yun-6 project, which was remitted to the account of Tengfei aviation manufacturing corporation.Just when the superior went through the project approval process, Tengfei aviation manufacturing corporation has put into the improvement project of Yun 6.
Originally, Tengfei aviation manufacturing corporation has accumulated a lot in design. In addition, it has accumulated a lot of wind tunnel test data through the cooperation with Professor Ding laixiang and other professors of Xi'an University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in recent years. Therefore, the follow-up improved Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation of yun-6 is well prepared.
Originally, I wanted to wait for the "make-up ticket" to be taken out, but now I saved the trouble of getting on the bus first. Naturally, I didn't have so many scruples, so I quickly decided on the most feasible one among several plans.
Then Ding laixiang, Wu Changcheng, Professor Sun, researcher Qian and other veteran aviation experts carried out a series of optimization on Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation, making the design of Xinyun 6 more mature and reliable.
The chemical milling of Tengfei factory is first-class in China; the composite honeycomb materials are mature and reliable; the bonding process and hot pouring curing process derived from carbon fiber composite materials are also in the forefront in China, plus a series of automatic and standardized production technology and management mode.
Although the performance of the modified Yun 6 is a step higher than that of the original improved Yun 5, it is far from reaching the manufacturing limit for Tengfei aviation manufacturing corporation.
So two months after Zhuang Jianye went to the grain aircraft test center, a new yun-6 static test verification aircraft with single wing and more smooth fuselage and three-point fixed landing gear was placed on the static test bench of the grain aircraft test center.
