Chapter 339 The Plan of the Official Aircraft Factory
As the results of the review were released and passed smoothly, the review team, Qiu Shi and others also left.
And Wang Bin and Tiangong Technology have also started the formal trial production of prototypes, and the trial production speed is very fast at the same time.
But what Wang Bin didn’t know was that during the period of their review of Tiangong Technology, a large military aircraft manufacturing plant in the northwest also sent out huge good news at this time, that is, what they had modified before. Two improved aircraft of the No. 6 bomber, after a period of time of manufacture, were finally officially released at this time and began to test flights.
The first flight test is naturally after the transformation, the tg-s002 large bypass ratio turbofan engine was used, and the condition of this aircraft was very good during the flight test, although it was in terms of speed and using the original Compared with the model of the engine, it is a bit full.
However, the tg-s002 engine is used. Due to the fuel-saving performance and the increase in the internal fuel carrying capacity after the aircraft is modified, the cruising range of this aircraft has nearly doubled compared to the original one. 5,000 kilometers, and in terms of bomb load, it has increased by nearly one-third compared to the original.
This makes the manufacturer of this aircraft extremely satisfied. After all, in this case, the efficiency of this aircraft will be greatly Ascension in combat, and at the same time, in terms of use, it will also be greatly Ascension, not only as a bomber platform. It can also be transformed into a large tanker early warning aircraft and so on.
So when the flight test data of the No. 6 aircraft came out, the director of the aircraft manufacturer immediately reported all the flight test data, and his superiors were extremely satisfied after receiving the data reported by the manufacturer. , And immediately placed dozens of orders for this aircraft.
Although it is, the number of dozens of aircraft does not seem to be a lot, but you should know that there are already a considerable number of various types of fighters equipped in China, so under normal circumstances, there is no large-scale order. Therefore, there have not been many orders for this aircraft in recent times, and it can only maintain the most basic production of the production line.
As for the other one, it uses the tg-wsx1 turbofan engine with a small bypass ratio.
Regarding the test flight of the No. 6 aircraft, although the factory has just started, the data obtained from the test flight alone has made the manufacturer very excited.
Because this modified No. 6 fighter, its flight speed and altitude, and even its serial ammunition load, etc., have completely surpassed the original No. 6 fighter.
According to the test flight data, the maximum flight altitude of this aircraft has reached 22,000 meters, the maximum flight speed has also exceeded the speed of sound, reaching Mach 1.15, and the maximum bomb load has reached nearly 20 tons. The cruising range, although a bit lower than the previous modified model, has reached about 11 thousand kilometers.
Therefore, after the transformation, this fighter can be said to be a truly strategic long-range bomber.
When these test flight data were released, the employees in the production plant of the No. 6 fighter were directly excited. After all, this is a flying speed of Mach 1.15 and a load of more than 20 tons of bombs!
You must know that even the Arctic’s No. 22 supersonic medium bomber has a maximum load capacity of less than 15 tons. As for the No. 160 supersonic bomber, the maximum load capacity is only about 40 tons.
And this modified fighter No. 6 actually achieved the ability to fly at supersonic speeds, and at the same time, in terms of ammunition load, it reached half the level of the No. 160 fighter. This is definitely something that this factory is proud of. .
At the same time, the success of the research and development of this brand-new No. 6 fighter also gave this large aircraft manufacturing plant greater confidence and confidence in transforming this new No. 6 fighter into a more powerful fighter.
In fact, on the basis of the No. 6 bomber, the design and development of a more advanced conventional bomber is the plan of this factory for a long time.
However, due to various factors, especially the engine and material factors, they have not made a decision for a long time. Therefore, in the past, they basically only carried out modifications and changes on the original aircraft. The transformation of these two models this time is already the biggest improvement model.
But both the senior management of this factory and the employees of this factory are very aware of China’s achievements in aviation, Realm and invisibility.
In the future, the demand for this aircraft will gradually decrease, even if it is the improved version this time.
Therefore, once there is no order for this aircraft, it is foreseeable that their factory will eventually be cancelled.
You know, their factory is no better than other factories, and the fighters produced by this factory are just a mere model.
It is precisely because of this that their factory wants to maintain long-term stability, there are only two ways. The first is naturally to start the production of new models from the superior, which is to obtain the production of the fighter that the official is developing. .
Unfortunately, due to the production equipment required for the new model, their factory does not have it at all. That is to say, even if they get a production order for the new model, their factory is unable to manufacture it and must update a lot of equipment. .
However, the capital required to update the equipment is huge, and the manufacturing of the equipment is not what you want to get.
It is precisely because of these various reasons that their factory has the idea of developing a new type of conventional bomber.
Now, as for the engine, because Tiangong Technology has developed its performance and its performance is excellent, and the materials of Tiangong Technology are also very good, it can be used on the bombers developed in the future, precisely because of various conditions. It has matured, naturally their factories are also tempted.
However, unlike private companies, even if their factories want to develop new models, they cannot start R&D right away.
As an official company, they must also apply to higher-level departments before they can conduct research and development.
Therefore, when Tiangong Technology had just completed the review work, the senior management of this factory also discussed this, and finally submitted an application for the development of a new type of conventional supersonic bomber to the superior department.
Regarding the application report of this factory, as the superior department of this factory, after several meetings, it was decided to approve their application. However, because of the models applied for by this factory, in the opinion of the superior department, there are already some behind.
So although the higher-level department agreed to the application of the factory, it did not allocate R&D funds, but let the factory bear the R&D funds. If the R&D is successful at that time, it can be affirmed by the higher-level departments and the military. Time is making up.
And this factory, after obtaining the approval of the first-level department, immediately started the research and development of the new model. As for the funds, they were not worried, because the order profit of the two improved No. 6 machines was enough to support The research and development of the new model is done.
