Chapter 413 Phantom' Stealth Strategic Bomber Offline
XAC Group
Compared with the last time when I came here, the area of ​​Xifei Group has expanded a lot. Obviously, with the Y-20, Y-30, H-20, and the "Phantom" stealth strategic bombers settled in XAC Group, making Xifei Flying Group had to expand. After all, these aircraft are big guys, and the assembly plants are not comparable to ordinary assembly plants.

And the steady stream of orders gave Xifei sufficient confidence and financial resources to expand, whether it is the expansion of the factory building, the increase of production lines, or the increase of workers!

"Principal Qin, from the current point of view, the performance of the 'Phantom' stealth strategic bomber is satisfactory in all aspects. Xifei Group has finally completed the first prototype. The superiors have great expectations for the 'Phantom' stealth strategic bomber. Even during the test flight, the dean may personally participate." The boss of AVIC Group said in high spirits.

Over the years, Huaxia has continuously made breakthroughs in aircraft, and the group under it has naturally benefited a lot. However, as the superior AVIC Group, it has also benefited a lot. It often receives awards from its superiors. The previous leaders were directly transferred to local supervisors one place.

But now, the 'Phantom' stealth strategic bomber is about to roll off the production line, and the test flight will follow. Although it may not be in time to serve before the National Day, this is definitely a major achievement, enough to make the leaders of AVIC happy.

"Speaking of which, President Qin, you are a great benefactor of AVIC Group. With your promotion, our aviation field has achieved great development and achievements." The leader of AVIC said with a smile: "Maybe our domestically produced large aircraft will be officially commercialized next year." , Chinese people can also use our own large aircraft, don't worry about being scared!"

AVIC Group Corporation, that is a giant, has aviation equipment, transport aircraft, engines, helicopters, airborne equipment and systems, general aircraft, aviation research, flight test, trade logistics, asset management, finance, engineering construction, automobile and other industrial sectors, Under the jurisdiction of more than 140 member units, more than 30 listed companies, and more than 50 employees.Anyway, in China, whether it is manufacturing fighter jets, transport planes, helicopters, or military engines, all belong to AVIC.

Even the Aviation Engine Research Institute of Mizuki University, AVIC Group also holds 10% of the shares, and is also managed by AVIC Group in name.

In recent years, China's aviation industry has advanced by leaps and bounds, and both the military and the civilians have made great breakthroughs. Among them, Qin Yuanqing cannot be avoided. Without Qin Yuanqing, there would be no such great achievements.

With the arrival of the leaders of all parties, the first prototype of the "Phantom" stealth strategic bomber officially rolled off the production line. After the red cloth was taken off, the "Phantom" stealth strategic bomber was wearing a big red flower on the nose, standing on the ground. In front of the behemoth of the 'Phantom' stealth strategic bomber, it looks very small.

When the leader delivered a speech, he said happily: "Comrades have worked hard. In order for us to equip the 'Phantom' stealth strategic bomber as soon as possible, I heard that the employees of XAC worked day and night. The final assembly of the first prototype of the 'Phantom' stealth strategic bomber has been completed, which is a very remarkable miracle. On behalf of the military, I thank you for your efforts!"

The applause rang out enthusiastically, this is indeed a miracle!
After all, from finalizing the "Phantom" stealth strategic bomber to building the first prototype of the "Phantom" stealth strategic bomber, how long did it take? If it is in the United States, it will take at least three or four years, and three or four years It's all too fast, and it took five or six years to produce a prototype, which is quite normal.

Qin Yuanqing also expressed his sincere admiration for this group of employees who are willing to contribute and give silently. He is the most familiar with the "Phantom" stealth strategic bomber, and he is very familiar with its technical content. It is conceivable that he can produce a prototype so quickly. You know, how hard all parties are working, just to let China have a stealth strategic bomber as an artifact of the country as soon as possible, protecting China's security and safeguarding China's sovereignty and interests.

The leader's speech was very inspiring.

When it was the turn of the leaders of AVIC to speak, the leaders of AVIC, as their direct superiors, also proudly said: "Thanks to all parties for their strong support to our aviation industry, we were able to produce the first prototype of the 'Phantom' stealth strategic bomber as scheduled. This It is a great event. The 'Phantom' stealth strategic bomber was developed entirely by our own strength. We have completely mastered the core technology, and the accessories are completely localized. Its performance is currently the most outstanding among the active strategic bombers in the world. Yes, surpassing the B2 stealth strategic bomber of the United States!"

"Next, we will speed up the test flight work, complete the test flight work as soon as possible, and let the 'Phantom' stealth strategic bomber enter service!" AVIC leaders said firmly.

Suddenly, warm applause roared.

Test flight, that is, flight test, as the name suggests, is the process of conducting scientific research and product testing under real conditions.The test objects are all kinds of aircraft, such as fighter jets, bombers, transport aircraft, helicopters, and special test and research aircraft specially used for flight tests. The recording equipment and weaponry on these aircraft are also test objects.

In the final analysis, the aircraft needs to be applied in practice. No matter how good the design is before manufacturing, no matter how good the supercomputer simulation is, or how good the wind tunnel test is, in the final analysis, it is not as clear as the actual application. In the process of test flight, you can understand clearly, so as to facilitate the subsequent reconstruction and improvement.

Aviation Industry Test Flight Center is the only certified flight test organization authorized by the state in my country.

No matter what kind of fighter, no matter what kind of helicopter, transport plane, or bomber, it has to go through a test flight test, and only after a series of appraisals can it be determined whether it can be used in service.

Therefore, the duration of the test flight can be short or long. If it is short, the test flights such as J20B and Y-30 are extremely short. It is the outstanding performance and stability displayed during the test flight, so that the superior can directly carry out mass production and service. .In the long term, just like the C919, the entire test flight stage lasts for several years, and even some fighters have more problems. It is normal for the test flight to last for 10 years.

Test flight is also a very dangerous thing. Whether it is the first flight or the whole process of test flight, in the process of exploring the performance of the aircraft, it seems to be no different from ordinary flight, but in fact it is often accompanied by great risks. .

The world is big, and I want to go outside the line to see where the limit of the plane is.This seemingly small step is often accompanied by great risks.If the speed is too small, the aircraft will be unable to control due to insufficient lift; if the acceleration is too high, irreversible damage may occur to the aircraft structure.

And every exploration close to the limit or even beyond the limit is accumulating strength for the survival and even victory of the pilots on the future battlefield.Flight test is a systematic project integrating science, engineering and risk.

The performance of an aircraft does not depend entirely on the design. After all, an aircraft is designed and manufactured, and the design is not necessarily perfect.Sometimes which process is not qualified, a certain performance may not meet the design requirements.Sometimes it is during the manufacturing process that a screw is not tightened properly and that can lead to serious accidents
All kinds of situations exist!
Not only have air crashes occurred in test flights in overseas developed countries, resulting in the heroic sacrifice of test pilots.Even in our country, it is not uncommon for a test pilot to fly an aircraft and become a martyr.

The grand off-line ceremony of the first prototype allowed Qin Yuanqing to personally see the true face of the 'Phantom' stealth strategic bomber, like a large bat, but also full of science fiction, as if it existed in a science fiction novel.

Even, Qin Yuanqing boarded the 'Phantom' stealth strategic bomber in person to see its interior, the spacious cabin, lithium-air batteries that could not use the space, the huge fuel tank, and the cockpit full of modern technology.
And behind these advanced technologies, there is a high cost of construction. Even with the financial resources of the Aero Engine Research Institute, it can only pay for the manufacturing cost of the first prototype, and cannot support the second one.It is also true that this prototype will be produced after a half-year test flight, and the second prototype will not be produced until the Aero Engine Research Institute pays the second prepaid fee. It can be said that before the 70th anniversary of the National Day, the "Phantom" 'Stealth strategic bombers do not have the possibility of entering military service.

After all, various test flights and exploration of the performance of the "Phantom" stealth strategic bomber require a lot of time and multiple take-off experiments before it is possible to find out the performance of the aircraft.

"This aircraft looks very good, and its performance is very advanced, but there is one disadvantage, that is, it is expensive. It is so expensive that I feel pain in my flesh. With such a bomber, less than half of the aircraft carrier will be gone!" The leader said with a smile.

Even now, with the rapid improvement of China's economic strength, the military budget has been increasing year by year. Now the annual military budget has reached 12680 billion yuan, or about 2140 billion U.S. dollars, which is only equivalent to about 1.2% of the total GDP. to 25% of US military spending.The Huaxia army needs to upgrade its equipment in all aspects, so despite the fact that the US$2140 billion military expenditure is a lot, it is actually not much. The military can't wait to use one dollar as two dollars.

Aircraft carrier fleet construction requires money, submarine construction requires money, advanced rocket launchers require money, advanced fighter aircraft require money, and advanced transport aircraft require money.
The more advanced the equipment, the more expensive the cost. It is for this reason that the army is constantly promoting the style of thrift and thrift. It just wants to save more money to buy one or two more advanced equipment.

And every year when the various military branches allocate military expenditures, the leaders of all parties are always arguing red-faced. They just want to get more funds for their own side and equip them with more advanced equipment.
