Chapter 823

When this scene was shown on the octopus monitoring screen through various monitoring means, both temel and Valerio were stunned by the scene, especially temel's head was buzzing.

When did a big country in the East have a new type of tanker?

Shouldn't their refueling be refitted with old H6 bombers? Just a few years ago, a test experiment on aerial refueling was carried out. The Navy decided that this should be the main type of future aerial refueling aircraft of a big eastern country. Why did the oil carrier-15 suddenly appear?

Just as temel was wondering about all kinds of screen swiping, the commander suddenly remembered something. He immediately turned his chair aside, rummaged in the filing cabinet, and took out a clear 15 plus silhouette.

Looking at the real-time image of the slightly blurred oil transport-15 on the screen, and looking at the silhouette photo on his hand, temer suddenly exclaimed: "no No It's not Yun 15. It's definitely not Yun 15. It's a brand new air transport platform. Yes, it's absolutely the latest air transport platform. We found the latest air transport platform of a big country in the East. "

In the last sentence, temel almost yelled hoarsely. In addition, his abrupt cry immediately attracted everyone's attention. Because valenio was sitting next to temel, he was the first to see the screen and hard photos.

Also surprised to grow up the biggest.

The yunyou-15, which is refueling two J-8 II aircraft in the air, looks very similar to yun15 plus. In particular, the nose like a fat head and the overall cockpit porthole like sunglasses show that this is an aircraft with a deep relationship with yun15 plus.

If different people who don't know much about aviation equipment see this situation, it is estimated that yunyou-15 is really regarded as an improved aerial refueling model of yun15plus.

However, both temer and Valerio are senior officers. Naturally, they will not be as superficial as ordinary people. Because of this, they will be shocked and unbelievable. The reason is very simple. The oil transport-15, which is in the process of aerial refueling operation and is very similar to the 15plus, is not actually a 15plus, but a brand-new transport aircraft. The reason why it is so popular is that The reason for this is very simple. Yun15plus is a dual engine light transport aircraft, while yunyou-15 is a four engine medium transport aircraft.

In fact, yunyou-15 is really a new air transport platform different from yun15plus.

But if we want to say that we are really separated from Yun 15plus, it is not necessarily true. After all, the overall pneumatic layout and specific production situation are closely related to Yun 15plus.

In Zhuang Jianye's words, yunyou-15 is the enlarged version of yun15plus. If not, how can a new air transport platform still use the old title of yunyou-15? They are all branches derived from the same root.

You should know that when developing yun-15, Tengfei group did not regard it as a product that was planned to be completed after the model was launched. Instead, there was a strong room for upgrading and modification in the original design, especially in the later development. Tengfei group learned from the shameless ideas of Airbus and boyin with an open mind Bah It is the development concept of modernization.

That is, it can expand freely on the basic model.

Just like the A320 of Airbus, if it is shortened, it becomes A318, if it is lengthened, it becomes A320-200, if it is enlarged, it becomes a320-400, and if it is fully upgraded, it becomes a320neo. In a word, there is always a dazzling model for you.

The same is true for Yun 15 of Tengfei group. It is not so much a model as a series.

The twin engine turboprop version is the foundation, and the twin engine turbofan version is a transition. Based on these two models, they can freely extend in all directions.

Take yunyou-15 as an example. In fact, it was not made by Tengfei group alone when it was idle. It was customized according to the air force headquarters' instructions on the bidding of aerial refueling aircraft.

At first, the air headquarters did not take Tengfei group's bidding plan as one thing, because at that time, the air force was interested in the northwest aviation factory's Hongyou 6.

This aerial tanker is based on the improvement of H6 bomber. The idea is similar to that of the Soviet Union, which refitted the aerial tanker from Figure 16 bomber to figure 16N.

Not only the platform is mature and the production process is guaranteed, but also the training and maintenance are not complex, which is very in line with the current domestic reality.

In addition, as early as 1991, hohhot-6 and j-8-ii air refueling tests were conducted, and the overall performance was extremely good. Therefore, hohhot-6 has always been a key project supported by the air force.

Now that the air force wants it, what do you want to do with Tengfei group?

The air force doesn't want to take off its pants and fart. The problem is that with the deepening of reform, the state has to engage in competition and bidding for large-scale procurement. Naturally, the army has to respond to the call of the state and act like it is.

So we sent the bidding documents to the domestic aviation enterprises that "have the ability" to produce air transport platforms, and set a deadline of one year to take out their respective bidding products.Just looking at the bidding requirements, we can see that the air force headquarters is obviously biased towards the northwest factory, because their Hohhot 6 has been flying for more than a year, and the first phase of flight test is about to be completed. Other factories, even if they are tired, will not be able to produce products as mature as Hohhot 6 in one year.

You know, it's airplanes, not children's toys.

Therefore, the airline named is basically to hand in a drawing and make a soy sauce. Yun 8, the only one in the industry who thinks it is hopeful to compete with Hongyou 6, has no positive PK relationship because it is from Northwest Airlines.

As a result, just when people thought that Hongyou 6 would win the air force 26 orders without any suspense, the air force flight test verification center suddenly heard that the new medium-sized air transport platform of Tengfei group began to carry out full-scale ground static test.

As soon as the news came out, the industry was in an uproar. What's the situation? How did Tengfei group come up with new medium-sized transport aircraft? Why are they so fast? When will Tengfei group launch the new Sinotrans? Why is there no news in the industry?

Three months later, the air force flight test and verification center again heard that the first flight of the new medium transport aircraft yun-15max of Tengfei group was successful.

Then one after another news began to spread in the industry, and yun-15max also opened its mysterious veil in this time and again.

Yun-15max is an upgrade of yun-15plus.

The overall proportion of yun-15plus has been greatly increased, and its multi task capability is several times higher than that of yun-15plus. In particular, four aviation fuel storage modules developed by Tengfei group can be added in the cargo hold, and four large fuel tanks and two small standby fuel tanks of yun-15max make the maximum fuel loading capacity of yun-15max reach 30.7 tons.

And 18.2 tons of aviation fuel can be delivered to all types of aircraft that need fuel supply.
