Start with the aviation industry

Chapter 391 Invitation to the Paris Air Show
Feng Youhua is an expert in Leihuo Aircraft Design Center. He is only in his 60s, and he is in the prime of life. Compared with those five, 70, or [-], [-]-year-old experts, he is more energetic and able to endure hardships. He is in charge The field test flight verification of "Fat Girl".

He took several technicians on this large transport plane and flew more than 1 kilometers to Antarctica.

Large military transport planes are different from passenger planes. They don't have so many glass string windows, and they can't see the outside situation through the glass.

But as a design expert, he could feel the plane descending, and it looked like it was about to land.

"Expert Feng, are we almost reaching our destination?"

Feng Youhua raised his hand to check the time, and said with certainty, "The plane should have arrived at the South Pole and is now starting to land."

Then, he shouted loudly, "The plane is ready to land, everyone get ready!"

on the ice sheet.

Seeing the plane getting closer and lower, Zhao Xinguo was both happy and a little nervous.

He still has basic common sense, knowing that landing on this ice field is a huge challenge, not only requires the superb skills of the pilot, but also has extremely high requirements on the performance of the aircraft.

In the event of an accident, it would be very serious, and it might be a plane crash.

The plane is getting closer and lower and lower, preparing to land on this ice field.

"My God, such a big plane!"

"Is this a domestic aircraft or an imported one?"

"God bless, don't make any problems, and make sure to land smoothly!"

"..."

Originally, everyone was quite happy because the plane finally arrived, but seeing that it was such a big plane, they were all sweating.

If it is a small plane, it will definitely be much less difficult to land, and the bigger and heavier the plane, the more difficult it will be to land in this case.

The atmosphere became tense invisibly!

No one spoke anymore, all eyes were on the plane, watching it start to land.

"Oh!"

The moment the plane's wheels came into contact with the ice, there was a muffled sound that was clearly audible, and the people on the plane also felt the shock obviously.

The technicians began to record the speed of the aircraft, the speed when it landed, and the deceleration on the ice, etc. These were all recorded and belonged to one of the data for the ice landing verification.

Even when he saw the plane landing on the ice field, Zhao Xinguo didn't dare to relax in the slightest. He clenched his fists tightly and stared at the plane.

A few others were about the same.

As we all know, it is equally dangerous for an airplane to taxi on an ice field, but this is a snowy ground, not a concrete runway at an airport.

The plane is taxiing, slow down!
Behind the plane, the scene is very spectacular, white snow and ice particles flying like a huge white dragon.

The biggest difficulty in landing on ice is deceleration. Because the ice is slippery and the friction is small, it is a big problem to slow down the speed and finally stop steadily.

How does the plane slow down when it lands?

Mainly by the resistance of sliding.

How does resistance arise?
One, by the resistance of the spoiler.At this time, all the baffles of "Fat Girl" were opened to the maximum state.

Second, brake by brake.The driver has taken braking measures, the wheels have basically been braked, and it is sliding on the ice.

If it is a cement runway at an airport, these two methods are basically enough, and the plane will stop after taxiing for a certain distance on the runway.

Here is an ice surface with low friction. These two methods alone are not enough, and there must be other methods, otherwise it will be difficult for the plane to stop and accidents will easily occur.

After "Fat Girl" gliding on the ice, the auxiliary parachute was thrown out from the tail of the aircraft, and the main parachute was also pulled out under the drive of the auxiliary parachute.

"Oh!"

The main parachute was fully extended and began to generate huge drag, and the aircraft was decelerating at a visible speed.

Seeing that the main parachute opened smoothly and fully, Zhao Xinguo completely let go of his clenched fist. He knew that the plane would stop soon after it was stabilized.

The others also visibly relaxed.

"It's amazing, it actually has a parachute!"

"See, it's getting slower and slower, and it will stop soon!"

"It's an eye-opener. Such a large transport plane actually stopped on such an ice field!"

"..."

Seeing that the plane finally came to a steady stop, Zhao Xinguo waved his hand and said, "Go, let's go there!"

Everyone got on the car one after another. At this time, everyone was not nervous, only joy and excitement. The large transport plane sent by the country arrived smoothly, not only brought the needed materials for the scientific research station, but also hoped for their seriously ill colleague. up.

Two snowmobiles were in front, followed by two tracked snow trucks, heading towards the large military transport plane in the distance.

When they got to the plane, everyone was even more shocked!
The distance was relatively far just now, and there was no reference on the vast and flat ice sheet, so they didn't realize how big the plane was.

It's different now!
After arriving in front of this plane, it turned out that it was so huge, much bigger than the transport planes I had seen before!

"My God, it's not small!"

"This is a real large transport aircraft, it's too big!"

"I don't know which country it was imported from. Could it be Lao Maozi's new large transport plane!"

"You are stupid, such a big military transport plane, if you want to buy it, you may not necessarily sell it. I think most of it is made in China!"

"..."

Zhao Xinguo didn't say anything, but kept looking at this large strategic transport plane until he saw the tail hatch of the plane open.

He greeted everyone with him.

The leader who came out of the plane was the military. Major Ding shook hands with Zhao Xinguo. It was obvious that the two knew each other. He also introduced Feng Youhua and others to Zhao Xinguo and the others.

"You mean, this is a large domestic strategic transport aircraft!"

Major Ding said, "Yes, it is purely made in China. We have flown more than 1 kilometers in one go. You can go into the cargo hold to see what's brought in."

With that said, everyone entered the cargo hold.

The first feeling is that the cargo space is really large, and then after seeing the delivered things, the eyes are bright!
Not only did they bring the diesel they needed, but also a large amount of daily necessities, including grain, oil, clothes, and even fresh fruits and vegetables!
In Antarctica, especially in winter, fresh fruits and vegetables are definitely a good thing.

Zhao Xinguo held Major Ding's hand tightly, "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much, on behalf of all comrades in the scientific research station, thank you!"

Major Ding said, "What you want to thank is the country, not me personally, and the people from Leihuo Technology Industry Group."

Zhao Xinguo shook hands with Feng Youhua and the others one by one, and thanked them from the bottom of their hearts.

"Everyone, hurry up and transport the things back to the scientific research station!"

The military personnel and Zhao Xinguo and the others started unloading together and transported the things back to the scientific research station. Feng Youhua and the others also got busy.

First check the condition of the plane, then collect and organize some data, and even measure the distance the plane landed and slid on the ice sheet.

In the scientific research station.

As the first supplies came back by snowcat truck, the place was seething.

"It's unbelievable that so many things have been shipped!"

"I'm so proud, it's actually our domestically produced large strategic transport aircraft!"

"With the arrival of this plane, all the problems were solved."

"..."

One or two hours later, all the things on the plane were unloaded, and the seriously ill scientific expedition team member was also placed on the plane.

In the eyes of everyone full of gratitude, the tail hatch of the aircraft was closed, and it made a large turn on the ice field. After turning the nose, it began to accelerate, successfully flew into the sky, and gradually went away.

……

Phoenix Building, in the office.

Lin Feng was answering a call from Xie Kangquan from the capital.

"Mr. Lin, our transport plane has successfully arrived in Antarctica two hours ago..."

There was obvious joy in the tone. Originally, this matter was very difficult, but I never expected it to be solved smoothly like this.

Lin Feng was also happy!
The flight verification of the aircraft in extremely cold weather conditions and the verification of take-off and landing on ice are basically completed. If there is no accident, the data of this verification should be qualified.

As soon as the plane successfully landed on the Antarctic ice sheet, Lin Feng received a report, and just now he received a report that the plane had already taken off and left the Antarctic.

After receiving a call from Xie Kangquan, Lin Feng gave a hearty smile when he heard him praise the performance of the plane.

"Director Xie, in this way, our two verifications have been completed, and it should be no problem for "Fat Girl" to enter mass production as planned."

After the two chatted on the phone for a while, Xie Kangquan mentioned another matter.

"Mr. Lin, the landing of our Wyvern fighter jets is very good. The higher-ups are already considering designing and will build surface ships that can carry Wyvern fighter jets in the future..."

He disclosed the situation properly.

It is only in the demonstration stage now, and it is hard to say whether it is designing an aircraft carrier or an amphibious assault ship.

However, as a time traveler, Lin Feng knew that the demonstration of these things in 1996 was still very technically difficult.

If it takes another ten years or 20 years, the situation will be completely different. At that time, the strength of the domestic shipbuilding industry will be one of the best in the world, and all kinds of ships will be like dumplings.

Even if it is an aircraft carrier, it is no problem to build it, let alone an amphibious assault ship.

Now!
It's very difficult!

For example, the gas turbines required by large military ships are not available in China, and there is no technology in this area at all, so they can only be imported from abroad.

Of course, Lin Feng is still very supportive even though there are great technical difficulties for large surface ships that can take off and land the "Flying Dragon" fighters.

"Director Xie, this is really exciting news. I really hope that the relevant departments will complete the demonstration sooner and start the design work sooner."

"Mr. Lin, I will pay close attention to the design demonstration work. Once there is any new progress, I will contact you immediately."

The two chatted on the phone, and after hanging up, Lin Feng sat on the boss's chair, thinking in his heart, this is a huge challenge!
At least the gas turbine is a tough nut to crack!

After thinking about these things, Lin Feng smiled dumbly, why should he worry about the shipbuilding industry by himself, who is engaged in the aviation industry.

Historically, through hard work and self-reliance, our country's ship crews have not always been among the world's top-ranking ships. Whether it is the 054 ship, the 052 ship, or the 055 large drive, they have not only been successfully developed, but also manufactured like dumplings.

What I have to do now is to do my own thing well, make Leihuo Technology Industry Group bigger and stronger, become a giant in the world's aviation industry, and then activate the system.

Of course, if people in the shipbuilding industry have needs and need to help themselves, that person will not shirk.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

There was a knock on the door of the office, and He Hua walked in happily, "Boss, take a look at the invitation letter for the Paris Air Show!"

Has the invitation been sent out so soon!
Lin Feng took it over, and after looking at it, he became happy, "That's right, it seems that the organizer attaches great importance to us!"

He Hua said, "Boss, what products should we bring to this air show?"

The entire airshow is divided into indoor and outdoor exhibition areas, and the scale is huge. Lin Feng said, "Our turboshaft and turbofan engines can be exhibited, and there are also several types of high-strength composite materials."

All these things can be placed in the indoor exhibition area. At that time, Leihuo Technology Industry Group will have its own indoor exhibition hall.

"In addition, our Tianlong transport helicopter, Serena armed helicopter, and Wyvern fighter jets all went to the exhibition."

These aircrafts are displayed in the outdoor open-air exhibition area. With so many aircrafts, the outdoor exhibition area of ​​Leihuo Technology Industry will not be small.

He Hua said, "Our Flying Dragon fighter jet is going to participate in the exhibition. I think the organizer will be very happy."

This is the most advanced fourth-generation fighter in the world. It is not only fast, highly maneuverable, but also has vertical take-off and landing functions.

Lin Feng continued, "In addition to the Wyvern fighter jet, our Fat Girl large military transport plane can also participate in the exhibition!"

He Hua was extremely surprised!

Unexpectedly, not only the Flying Dragon fighter jets went to the exhibition, but also the "Fat Girl" large strategic transport aircraft also went to the exhibition.

In this way, Leihuo Technology Industry Group exhibited a lot of products, which also shows that Lin Feng attaches great importance to this air show.

"Boss, if the organizer knows that we have so many things to exhibit, they will definitely attach great importance to it and give us the best treatment."

Lin Feng said, "Mr. He, you will be in charge of participating in this exhibition. Take this as a major event and communicate with the organizer well. In addition, we will try to get as many people as possible. I estimate that the air show will last for a few days." Enough to keep everyone busy."

Lin Feng explained.

More than a month later, the Paris Air Show will definitely be a big event for Leihuo Technology Industrial Group. If you are lucky, you will not only make a lot of money, but also increase your popularity.

If that is the case, it will be another step towards the world's aviation industry giants.

He Hua wrote down all the matters that Lin Feng explained, and listed items [-], [-], [-], and [-] in his notebook.

"Mr. He, you are in charge of participating in this exhibition, and you are also leading the team!"

He Hua said, "No problem, boss, we will definitely not let you down!"

Immediately, Leihuo Technology Industry Group began to prepare for the air show, and the news spread throughout the company.

"It's unbelievable, even our Wyvern fighter jets and large strategic transport planes are participating in the exhibition, only our stealth strategic bombers are missing!"

"The stealth strategic bomber will definitely not go to the exhibition, this needs to be kept strictly confidential!"

"I heard that this exhibition is a big event, Mr. Lin attaches great importance to it, and our company may have more than 100 people!"

"There are more than 100 people, I heard that there are more than 200 people, I don't know if I have a chance!"

"..."

Going abroad to participate in an air show is definitely a good job. In the 90s, being able to go abroad is even more elated.

This year's Paris Air Show, there are not many companies and design offices in China that have received invitations to participate in the exhibition, but this does not hinder their enthusiasm for participating in the air show.

However, it is not to take the products to the air show to participate in the exhibition, but to visit the air show.

This is a famous international air show. It is also good to have a look at it, learn about the most cutting-edge products and technologies in the international aviation industry, understand the future development trend, and gain some knowledge.

Phoenix Factory, like most domestic aviation companies, has not received an invitation to participate in the exhibition, but it does not prevent them from visiting the air show.

There are also quite a few people in the Phoenix factory who are discussing this Paris Air Show. However, they are basically technicians and managers. Ordinary workers are not very interested in this, because they know that they will never have the opportunity to visit the air show.

"Leihuo Technology Industry Group actually received an invitation to participate in the exhibition, it's so awesome!"

"There are not many domestic aviation companies that have received invitations to participate in the exhibition!"

"I heard that the scale of their participation in this exhibition is very large, and more than 200 people will go there!"

"I wish I could go to the air show to take a look, but unfortunately, [-]% of them don't have this opportunity!"

"It's not bad if there are seven or eight people in the whole company, and there will never be more than ten people!"

"..."

Many people in the Phoenix factory are discussing this Paris Air Show, and even some high-level executives are also talking about this topic.

For example, several high-level executives sat in Wang Tianfang's office, and after talking about a few issues at work, the topic came to the air show.

A high-level executive said, "Mr. Wang, although we can't participate in the exhibition like Leihuo Technology Industrial Group, we can go to the air show to have a look, improve our knowledge, and see the world. It's still possible."

Another senior said, "Yes, the opportunity is rare, it only happens once every two years, we can't miss this good opportunity."

Seeing two high-level executives say this in succession, Wang Tianfang said, "Since everyone wants to go to the air show, let's organize a group to have a look."

Very good!
Several senior executives are slightly excited!
What made them even more happy was that Wang Tianfang said, "This time there will be more than 200 people from Leihuo Technology Industry Group. We can't be too shabby, so let's have 30 to [-] people!"

what!
After reacting, these high-level executives were inexplicably surprised. They thought that only a few people would pass by, at most ten people, but they didn't expect that two or thirty people would pass by!

…………

Five thousand words will be sent first, and there should be another five thousand words to be sent later in the evening.
