Not only Wang Huan, Qi Hong and others also saw the strange plane preparing to land on the airport of the factory, which was shocked by its indescribable shape.
The most eye-catching thing is the bulky cylindrical body above the fuselage, which seems to be carrying a big air bag, starting from above the windshield of the cockpit and extending to the front of the vertical tail. It is huge, eye-catching and shocking.
Just like a fresh fat man, wobbly and heavy.
The plane is ugly, but people don't feel like it, because the huge body is bulky, but the overall streamlined shape makes people feel comfortable, especially the round upward transition above the nose, which is very similar to the smooth curve of the dolphin bending in animal world, plus the obviously enlarged horizontal tail, and the horizontal tail in order to enhance the stability The small vertical tail installed at both ends of the tail makes the whole aircraft look very naive.
But to say how beautiful it is, it's not obvious. There's no way. It's really beyond people's general understanding of aircraft and completely overturns its elegant appearance.
All in all, this is a plane that goes against the common sense. If we didn't watch this plane fall from the sky, no one would believe that such a heavy guy could fly into the sky.
However, when the Shanghai Airlines and their party were shocked and stunned by the landing plane, Qiao Shiming, who had not spoken for a long time, frowned and looked at Zheng Yongning: "is it the maintenance task assigned by the group yesterday?"
"Zheng Yongning nodded:" yes, yesterday afternoon contact there, today just by the "air special car" return
Qiao Shiming nodded and didn't say anything. He just wanted to go on to the workshop, but found that Wang Huan, Qi Hong and other Shanghai Airlines were all standing in the same place, staring at the landing "special air vehicle" special transport plane slowly sliding to a special vehicle with lifting function.
Immediately, the special vehicle raised the platform above, gradually higher than the windshield of the "special air vehicle". At the same time, the smooth and round drum in the front section of the "special air vehicle" slowly opened, slowly rose, slowly exposing the huge space on the road.
At this time, the special vehicle slowly moves forward and smoothly connects with the cabin floor in the cabin. Next moment, under the command of the on-site dispatcher, another small aircraft is slowly drawn from the huge cabin of the "special air vehicle".
"It's a tm-9!"
Shanghai Airlines did not know who screamed, so Wang Huan took off his glasses and wiped them hard. Then he opened his eyes and tried hard to see. He almost threw his eyes to see clearly.
As for others, even Qi Hong, a veteran who has been fighting in the army for nearly 20 years, is just as stunned.
It's the first time to see it. It's strange, weird and shocking. It's impossible to describe it in words.
In contrast, Qiao Shiming and Zheng Yongning have to calm down a lot. They can see similar scenes and have seen them for a long time. What's more, Qiao Shiming and Zheng Yongning are more or less involved in the development of the "special air vehicle".
In particular, Qiao Shiming's overall structure, control and transmission system and even aerodynamic layout of the "special air vehicle" were calculated and studied by him and a core team of zhongyun 10. It can be said that they are the real core of this model.
However, Qiao Shiming didn't care about it. At most, it was refitted from the old IL-18 model. Most of the architecture was based on the Soviet Union. In Qiao Shiming's eyes, there was no creation or breakthrough, let alone any big plane or airliner.
Therefore, Qiao Shiming's attitude towards the "special air vehicle" can only be general. In contrast, what he cares more about is the maintenance of the Boeing 767, because it involves the performance and profits of the repair factory. Therefore, he does not understand Wang Huan and others' dull looking at the "special air vehicle" spitting out.
Heart said, this thing is not good-looking, there is not food to eat, there is not money to spend, there is this time can explain the general framework of jt9d maintenance.
Wang Huan, Qi Hong and others are not so indifferent as Qiao Shiming. They have long been fascinated. Some people even regret that they didn't bring the camera. Otherwise, taking a few photos back would be enough to blow for a year.
Some people think about gossip, of course, some people think about professional, Wang Huan is so.
Using the old model of IL-18 to refit and transport a small aircraft with a length of nearly 15 meters, such as tm-9, proves that Tengfei group has a deep foundation in the key aviation basic field. Otherwise, the refitted "special air vehicle" will be like a fat man who is growing fat crazily. Let alone flying, whether it can move on the ground is a difficult problem.
You know, it's not as simple as installing a pod on the IL-18 and plugging an antenna. It's a radical change from the inside out, including structure, start-up, control, performance It can be said to be all-round.
It is not so much that Tengfei group refitted the IL-18 as that they built a brand new aircraft.
What's more, the "special air vehicle" uses the engine produced by take-off power. Although its performance needs further verification, from the performance of landing just now, the operation of the whole power train is still very good. At least, the turboshaft engine produced by Northwest factory does not emit black smoke during take-off and landing.This shows that the power used by the "special air vehicle" has a higher utilization rate of fuel, and this shows from another side that the fuel economy of this set of power is better and the power output is more uniform.
Therefore, it can be concluded that the technical level of this turboprop engine is not low.
In aviation circle, there is a saying that can't be said. It is said that those who can repair airplanes may not be able to build airplanes, but those who can build airplanes must be able to repair airplanes.
The reason why Wang Huan had some views on the Tengfei aviation repair factory before was that the products of Tengfei group in recent years were all small aircraft, which were essentially different from large aircraft. Therefore, Wang Huan did not believe that Tengfei group could repair their Boeing 767.
But when he saw the special transport plane of "special air vehicle" landing at the airport and unloading, his previous ideas began to loosen uncontrollably.
The maximum take-off weight of the IL-18 is 63 tons, which belongs to the category of medium-sized aircraft. If Tengfei group can change such a big guy into an "air special vehicle", it will not be able to do so without the super ability in materials, structure, power and production and processing.
With a little utilization of these supporting facilities, it can be transformed into a strong support for the maintenance of other models. Because of this, Wang Huan, who was not very good at all, finally had a smile of satisfaction on his face. Looking at them waiting, some bored Qiao Shiming asked, "Qiao Gong, what specific maintenance plan do you have for jt9d?"
"Since the damage of jt9d is not serious, our maintenance plan is very simple. At present, the damaged low pressure turbine blade crown has been treated..."
"Wait..." As soon as Qiao Shiming introduced the maintenance of jt9d, he was interrupted by Wang Huan in shock: "Qiao Gong, have you repaired the LP turbine blades?"
