Chapter 387 "Fat Girl" Makes Low-key First Flight

There is no impenetrable wall under the sky. Xie Kangquan's guess was correct. This large strategic transport plane was parked on the tarmac outside the final assembly plant and was photographed by the beautiful country's satellite not long after.

in the office.

The head of the military intelligence department of the beautiful country is listening to the report, holding a few satellite pictures in his hand while watching.

His expression is dignified!

The subordinate next to him reported, "Sir, from the satellite pictures we have taken, the large military transport aircraft of Leihuo Technology Industrial Group has completed the final assembly, and it is estimated that it will make its first flight soon..."

After looking at these photos, the person in charge asked in a deep voice, "How much do we know about the performance parameters of this transport plane?"

After a while of hesitation, the subordinate said, "Thunderfire Technology and Industry Group keeps this large military transport aircraft at a high level of secrecy. So far, we haven't collected any parameters about it. We..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted, "I don't care, I don't care, you have to collect the performance parameters of this aircraft no matter what method you use!"

"Yes, sir!"

After watching the subordinate leave, the person in charge took the photos and looked at them again. After looking at them again, he thought to himself.

"What is the tonnage and size of this large military transport aircraft of Leihuo Technology Industry Group, how much can it carry at one time, and how far is the maximum range?"

"Compared to our C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft, how far is the overall performance gap..."

Huaxia has not been able to independently develop a large military transport aircraft. This is the first one. Without sufficient technology accumulation, he does not believe that this aircraft can surpass the Globemaster.

He thinks it must be inferior to their Globemaster, but he doesn't know how big the technical gap is.

In fact, the overall performance of "Fat Girl" surpassed Globemaster in an all-round way.

.........

When the cargo hold loading test was completed, Leihuo Technology Industry Group itself began to prepare for the first flight of "Fat Girl".

Unlike the first flight of "Flying Dragon", the first flight of "Fat Girl" is much more low-key. Even people in the domestic aviation industry, many people don't know about it.

However, after all, it is a major event in the aviation industry. Some people have heard the news of the first flight of the first large military transport aircraft in China.

Such as Zhu Zhiwen.

The last time the "Flying Dragon" fighter took its first flight, he led a team to come here in person. Not only did he watch the first flight, but he also had the honor to visit the factory area of ​​Leihuo Aircraft Manufacturing Company and walked into the final assembly plant.

At the beginning, everyone not only saw the stealth strategic bomber in the final assembly, but also saw this large military transport aircraft in the middle of the final assembly process.

Zhu Zhiwen has been paying attention to the situation of this aircraft. He learned that a few days later, the cargo compartment loading test was completed, and the first flight will be carried out soon, so he called.

These days, Lin Feng has been in Shenhai City, occasionally visiting various companies, such as Leihuo Turbofan Engine Company, Leihuo Aircraft Manufacturing Company, or Leihuo Equipment Branch.

Sometimes I would go to Pangu Technology Group or Hanhai Bearing Group to have a look, and my life was very relaxed.

Now, he is next to Leihuo Technology Building, accompanied by Yunqu Yang.

The glass exterior wall of this building has been fully completed, and the effect has been fully realized, even more beautiful than the original design renderings.

This place has completely become the most prosperous place in Shenhai City, attracting a large number of people to visit every day, because this is not only the tallest building in China, but also the tallest building in the world.

"Boss, our building is really beautiful. How did you have such an inspiration to combine the elements of Huaxia bottle with the praise of this building?"

Lin Feng just smiled and didn't say anything. I can't say that I have seen the Huaxiazun Building in later generations. I just moved its design here.

Looking away from this building, Lin Feng himself is [-]% satisfied, it's so beautiful!
Not only beautiful, but also domineering!

118 floors, 618 meters high!

In front of the building, not only some citizens are taking photos with the building, but you can also see some tour guides holding flags, leading a group to visit here.

At this time, Lin Feng's cell phone rang.

"Mr. Lin, I heard that Fat Girl is about to usher in her first flight!"

Lin Feng looked at the environment, and it was really inconvenient to talk about such a secret, so he said, "Mr. Zhu, I will call you in a few minutes."

"Okay, okay."

Zhu Zhiwen quickly agreed, not to mention asking him to wait for a few minutes, even for an hour or two.

However, Lin Feng didn't keep him waiting long, and waved his hand, "Come on, let's go into the building, it's too noisy here."

Yun Quyang accompanied Lin Feng into the building. There are four gates in the east, south, west and north of Leihuo Science and Technology Building. Each gate is a hall of hundreds of square meters.

Some halls have already been renovated, while others are still finishing. For example, this hall has been renovated, and the effect has been brought out.

The first feeling is luxury, the second feeling is spaciousness, the space is big enough!
The floor of the hall is so clean that people can be seen, and the huge crystal chandelier on the top casts stars on the floor, bright and shining!

Seeing Lin Feng, Yun Quyang, and Tang Long walk into the hall, a dramatic scene appeared.

Because the entrance of the building is always lively, there are quite a few people, mostly young men and women.

Several young girls who looked like college students had already taken a lot of pictures outside the building, and wanted to see inside the building.

There was a young and beautiful girl who was acting cute and coquettish, "Brother Security, let us enter, we promise to only stay for 10 minutes and then come out."

At the gate of the building, looking inside, you can already see that the hall inside is very beautiful and luxurious.It's normal for them to want to go in and have a look.

However, the building is not open, and ordinary people cannot enter.

It's useless to be cute and coquettish!

The security guard at the door looked cold and unmoved at all.

At this time, Lin Feng and the others entered the hall on the first floor without hindrance, and sat down on the sofa in the rest area a little to the side of the hall.

Immediately, those young girls quit, "Brother Security, why can they go in, why can't we, just go in and watch for 10 minutes, please."

The lead security guard twitched his mouth slightly, thinking in his heart, of course they can, the lead is our boss, and he owns the whole building.

Lin Feng sat down on the sofa in the rest area, and then called Zhu Zhiwen back, "Mr. Zhu, you are very well informed!"

Zhu Zhiwen said, "Is our fat girl really about to fly for the first time, has the specific date been set?"

Lin Feng did not hide anything, "The preparations for the first flight are almost done, and the date of the first flight has also been set, which is the 12th of this month."

It is now May, and the 5th of this month is May 12th, and there are not a few days left.

Zhu Zhiwen said, "Boss Lin, we want to come over and have a good look at the first flight, can we?"

The maiden flight of China's first large-scale strategic transport aircraft was not limited to Zhu Zhiwen. If they knew the news, many people would probably want to come and take a look.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu, you are engaged in the research and development of fighter jets. Why, you are also interested in large transport aircraft. Are you going to switch to large transport aircraft in the future?"

"Where, where." Zhu Zhiwen said, "Fat girl is already the ceiling of large military transport aircraft, there is no need for us to design and develop other types of large military transport aircraft, we came to take a look at the first flight, mainly to open our eyes , increase your knowledge."

Lin Feng smiled, Zhu Zhiwen is too humble for such a great designer.

Now that he is so humble, Lin Feng is also very straightforward, "Okay, then come over then."

It's not just Zhu Zhiwen's phone call. In the past few days before the first flight, Lin Feng received several calls one after another. They were all people in the domestic aviation industry who usually have a good relationship, and they expressed their desire to come and watch the first flight of "Fat Girl" .

In addition, other senior executives of Leihuo Technology Industrial Group also received some similar calls, and some people asked to come and watch the first flight.

1996 5 Month 12 Day.

The apron of Leihuo Aircraft Manufacturing Company is relatively lively, there are hundreds of people. Of course, they are basically people from Leihuo Technology Industry Group. arrive.

There was no media, no reporters, and even other people in the domestic aviation industry were less than 100 people. The first flight of "Fat Girl" was very low-key.

Not far away, Fat Girl stopped there quietly. All the preparations were done, and the crew had already boarded the plane and sat in the driving seat.

"Boss, it's time!"

A senior executive of Leihuo Aircraft Manufacturing Company reminded that Lin Feng looked at the tarmac through the glass, and then at the large transport aircraft, and said loudly, "Start the first flight test!"

Order issued!

The pilot started the plane, and the four large turbofan engines began to work. After everyone's eyes, the plane drove towards the runway in the distance.

This is a runway with a length of more than 3500 meters, which is enough for any large aircraft to take off and land here, and the fat girl has no problem.

"The plane is moving!"

"My God, the sound of the engine working is really nice!"

"It's so exciting, our first large strategic transport aircraft will take to the sky!"

"."

The people watching the first flight on the tarmac became even more lively, and many people showed obvious excitement on their faces, not only people from Leihuo Technology Industry Group, but even some people from the military.

Such a large strategic transport aircraft is exactly what everyone dreams of!

"Fat Girl" drove to the runway, stopped there steadily, and did not take off immediately. After receiving the command to take off a few minutes later, the plane began to accelerate on the runway, then left the ground and flew towards the distance.

Fly higher and higher, farther and farther!
There was warm applause at the scene, and some young employees of Leihuo Technology Industrial Group shouted and shouted with joy!
Several experts in Leihuo Aircraft Design Center were as happy as children. This is their design achievement, and they watched it fly into the blue sky with their own eyes.

The plane did not escape everyone's sight. After flying a certain distance, it made a large-radius turn and flew over the airport again. After flying a few times in a row, it began to lower its altitude and land on the runway.

Fat Girl successfully completed her maiden flight, taxied on the runway, and then came to a steady stop. The entire tarmac was filled with mountains and tsunamis, and some people were even so happy that they almost jumped up.

The military personnel looked at the transport plane with joy in their eyes, and even a little excitement.

"The first flight was successful. In the near future, we will have the most advanced strategic transport aircraft in the world!"

"Yeah, the one that can transport two main battle tanks at a time, with a maximum range of more than 1 kilometers!"

"Come on, let's go there too, we can board the plane and visit."

"."

The first flight was completed, and the technicians were busy collecting and analyzing the data, while others happily ran towards the plane and began to observe it closely.

It didn't take long for many people to surround it.

After a close-up visit for everyone, in the surprise eyes of everyone, the tail hatch of the plane slowly opened, and there was a burst of cheers at the scene, and everyone was able to enter the interior of the cargo hold for a visit.

"My dear, this cargo hold is not so big!"

"I heard that ten military off-road vehicles can be transported at one time. I couldn't believe it before, but now it seems to be true!"

"Looking at the workmanship in the cargo hold, it's really exquisite!"

"."

The successful first flight of "Fat Girl" was very low-key. Many people in the domestic aviation industry didn't know about it until they saw related reports in "China Aviation News".

This report was not on the front page, but on the second page. It was not too long, only two or three hundred words.

"What, Fat Girl has successfully made her first flight!"

"Leihuo Technology Industry Group is really low-key this time!"

"I missed a good opportunity. If I had known about Fat Girl's first flight earlier, I would have applied to watch it!"

"."

In the northwest, a certain military airport.

This is a large airport, located in the inland hinterland, and there are many kinds of aircraft parked on the apron, including J-[-] and J-[-] fighters, Yun-[-] transport aircraft, and even a "Flying Dragon" fighter.

This plane was stationed here about half a month ago, mainly for various test flight verifications. After it arrived here, it became a star and became the most eye-catching existence.

Especially during the first test flight here, the majority of Air Force officers and soldiers were dumbfounded when they saw that it did not use a runway at all and directly took off and landed vertically.

It's a little better now, but every flight verification still attracts a lot of people's attention, especially when it takes off vertically.

Today, it seems a little different than usual.

Some careful people found that the sandy runway on the far side of the airport has been cleared out, and even simple leveling has been carried out, and the weeds have also been removed.

This dirt runway was originally full of potholes, but after such a leveling process, it is much better, like that.

But if it is used for take-off and landing of aircraft, many people still don't believe it.

Experienced people know that it is estimated that it is very difficult for an aircraft to take off and land on such a runway. If it is really hard to do it once, it is estimated that the aircraft will not be scrapped.

"Our runway has been abandoned for many years, and now it has been cleaned up. Do we want to build another concrete runway on this basis?"

"Who knows, maybe there's a plan for that."

Many people were discussing curiously, wondering why they had to clean up this dirt runway that had been abandoned for many years, and even leveled it out.

At that time, a concrete runway was planned to be built here, but for some reason, only the most basic part of the construction was completed, and then it was never built, and it has been abandoned like this.

No wonder many people think that the construction plan should be restarted and a concrete runway should be built on this basis.

But some well-informed people heard a different version. Clearing and leveling here is not to build a new runway, but to conduct take-off and landing tests of large transport aircraft.

Those who heard the news were somewhat uncertain, expressing a little doubt. The runway looked like this, not even cement.

It was past ten o'clock in the morning.

A large plane flew towards the airport and was preparing to land at the airport. Because it was a new arrival, many things were probably not ready yet, and it did not land on this dirt runway, but landed on the cement runway.

This is a large military transport aircraft, code-named "Pang Niu", and it is also the largest military transport aircraft in China at present. It is much larger than the active transport aircraft such as Yunba and Il-76, and it is simply a giant.

Many people in the army have not heard of the existence of "Fat Girl", because it has been kept relatively low-key because of strict secrecy.

In the entire Air Force Airport, except for a small number of people who knew that "Fat Girl" would come today, most people didn't know that the arrival of Fat Girl was like throwing a huge boulder on the calm water.

Because there has never been such a large military transport aircraft in our country, its appearance will definitely cause a lot of commotion.

Many people were stunned and looked at the large transport plane parked on the runway with disbelief, including some ground crew and even the pilots.

"I'm not mistaken, we have such a big plane here!"

"Where is this plane from, is it from abroad?"

"No, it's not foreign. Have you seen the logo on the plane? It's a large transport plane of our Air Force!"

"."

Most people are confused and don't know this plane, but there are still some people who know the existence of "Fat Girl", and may have some understanding.

So, someone said loudly, "That is our domestically produced large-scale strategic transport aircraft, developed by Leihuo Technology Industrial Group, with a maximum take-off weight of 320 tons, and it can transport 10 military off-road vehicles or 6 large military trucks at one time. Or 4 armored personnel carriers, or [-] main battle tanks!"

what!
This is impossible!
Can it be so fierce! ! !

After a short period of silence, the entire air force base was boiling, especially knowing that this is the most advanced large-scale strategic transport aircraft in the world, and its performance surpasses that of the beautiful country's C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft.

Too awesome!

Leihuo Technology Industrial Group has successfully developed such a good and such a large transport aircraft!

Some people even looked at the "Flying Dragon" fighter plane parked in the distance, and then at the "Fat Girl" on the runway, their eyes could not be calm at all.

Some people even looked at the cleared dirt runway in the distance and thought in their hearts, this dirt runway should not be used for take-off and landing tests of this large transport aircraft.
