Chapter 420

Qinghai, Golmud, an air force airport.

Zhuang Jianye stands on the edge of the open airport runway and looks at the snow capped mountain in the distance. His eyes suddenly become confused, his face turns red and his body shakes involuntarily.

It was as if I was really intoxicated by the snow mountain goddess.

Seeing this, Lin Guanghua quickly put the oxygen cannula into Zhuang Jianye's nostrils. Zhuang Jianye gasped violently, and his face looked better.

"If you don't go to the house and have a rest, I'll watch over here." Lin Guanghua said with concern.

Zhuang Jianye greedily sucked two more times, which made his head feel better. He shook his head: "no, plateau flight test is different from the plane test center. Even people can't stand this place. Let alone the plane, it's better to have a look in person."

After listening to Zhuang Jianye's words, Lin Guanghua pursed his mouth, then rubbed his hand to warm his plateau red face. Then he said with relief, "it's also a bit hard for such an intensive flight test progress, but on the other hand, the army is still very satisfied with our yun-6, otherwise they would not have arranged the flight test so intensively, and they would have been able to get through it I'm going

Lin Guanghua is right. Since the assembly of yun-6 prototype by Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation in early March, a series of high-strength tests have begun.

At the beginning, Zhuang Jianye and Lin Guanghua didn't feel anything. They thought that such a fast-paced test was conducive to the finalization of Yun 6. Of course, it was based on their overall confidence in Yun 6 that they dared to do so.

In fact, yun-6 didn't disappoint them. Except for a small part that needed to be changed, everything else met the design requirements, and the first flight was also very smooth.

I thought it would be like this. I was doing ground tests at the same time. It would last until the end of the year before finalization could be put on the agenda.

However, in mid March, the air force suddenly asked Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation to produce six yun-6 aircraft. At the same time, the prototype yun-6 aircraft used for flight test entered an air force airport in Qinghai Golmud at an altitude of 4300 meters according to the order of the air force for plateau flight test verification.

If Zhuang Jianye and Lin Guanghua thought that the pace of the previous ground test and flight test was a little faster, but they could accept it, it was not the problem of the fast pace to go directly to the plateau for flight test, but it was similar to making rockets.

We should know that according to the previous flight test plan, the basic performance of yun-6 will not be fully mastered in the eastern region until at least the middle of June, and then we can go to the plateau for further flight test verification.

After all, the climate and environment of the plateau are very different from that of the eastern region. If we can't master the detailed flight data, it is not conducive to the development of plateau flight test.

As a result, the air force did the opposite and directly transported the plane to the plateau.

That's all. The problem is that we also purchased six transports, with a unit price of 3.5 million yuan. It's reasonable to say that Zhuang Jianye, who is open-minded with money, should be happy, but I don't know why he always thinks something is wrong.

Yes, a cautious air force is really abnormal.

Fortunately, Zhuang Jianye is not deaf or blind. He also has some contacts. So he immediately inquired about it. Only then did he know that the situation in the southern border area of the Tibetan area was unstable.

In the name of military exercises, a neighboring country began to gather in the southern Tibetan area on a large scale. With the severe snow disaster in the southern Tibetan area in, the border area became very complicated.

In order to rescue the victims in the southern Tibetan area and show a strong will to defend the country's territorial sovereignty to a neighboring country, the troops moved quickly. The problem is whether the troops moved fast. However, the traffic in the southern Tibetan area is so bad that the land transportation can only reach the northern foot of the Himalayas.

The rest of the mountain pass path had to be crossed by livestock and manpower.

Air transportation is an efficient and fast form of transportation, but only the S-70 "Black Hawk" helicopter imported from the United States can carry out this task. After all, the terrain in the southern Tibetan area is more complex, and large transport planes can not land at all, so it is difficult to achieve accurate supply.

If the army has a large number of S-70 "Black Hawk" helicopters on hand, it can count only 24. The ones that have been planed, repaired, damaged, and left in the northwest to deal with the situation in the northwest border are less than 10 that can be put into the southern Tibetan area.

Coupled with the short range and the limitation of the helicopter itself, the overall efficiency is not high.

A year ago, the army would have been so tough, lacking air transportation means, and could not form a rapid supply and transportation. Then we should play the spirit of fearing neither hardship nor death, and walk step by step. Anyway, the iron foot board is not in vain. In those days, we could chase a neighbor's little brother all over the mountains, but now we can't?

You know, Chinese soldiers are wolves and tigers everywhere. They are not afraid of anyone.

But when the leaders of the army were ready to bite their teeth, they suddenly found that, in addition to a group of Flying Tigers and wolves, there seemed to be an eagle that could spread its wings and soar on the plateau.Let's have a closer look. Good guy, we have already started the test flight, and the technical indicators are excellent.

Wingspan: 17.6m

length: 14.2m

height: 4.8m

cabin length, width and height: 5.3m, 1.7m, 1.4m

maximum take-off weight: 4800KG

maximum payload: 2300kg

range: 2400km

practical lift limit: 8400m

tpe331-10 turboprop engine produced by Honeywell is adopted It has 776 kilowatts of power and 1200 axle horsepower. It not only endows yun-6 with powerful carrying capacity, but also has a maximum speed of 320 km / h.

Integrated avionics system with meteorology, communication and precise navigation jointly developed by British aerospace, Thomson of France and Ericsson of Sweden.

It enables yun-6 to take off and land at night.

In addition, there are two straight upper single wings strengthened by left and right supporting beams, four control flaps, horizontal tail and vertical tail. With strong fixed front three-point landing gear and braking system, it can take off and land freely on a 600 meter long straight road.

It's small in size, strong in transportation, high in lift limit, and has the ability to take off and land in short distance. It's just a super skycar tailored for the southern Tibetan area.

If you don't have it, you can't forget it. Now you have it, and it has been tested. How can you use it?

So the higher authorities quickly decided to speed up the test flight progress of yun-6, promote the first batch of mass production, and strive to put into use as soon as possible.

Of course, these things are not public. Zhuang Jianye is also reminded by the superior leaders by the light of understanding the stealth materials. Otherwise, how could he run around like a donkey, catch up with production and be busy with high-speed flight test? He would have been so burdened that he would have gone home to take his wife and coax his children.

So Lin Guanghua's relief, Zhuang Jianye is just a wry smile, ready to say two words of making fun out of pain, at this time, the intercom will come to the scene commander's words: "everything is normal, you can take off."

As soon as I heard the words, I saw a bright yellow plane at the end of the runway suddenly accelerated and taxied. It was only a few hundred meters before it lifted into the air and flew into the sky.
