Take Off My Aviation Era

, The fastest update to take off the latest chapter of my aviation era!

After hearing the words of the chief, Zheng Quanli was not surprised, because Hong Shengli's report had already put forward his own opinions on other applications of drones, including topographic mapping.

And judging from the practical ceiling of 9,000 meters, the cruise time of more than four hours, and the payload of up to 180 kilograms, it does have the potential to complete terrain mapping, but...

"Director, the specific situation, I hope to see the actual judgment, of course, most of us are not professional in this regard, it is best to ask an expert from the aerial surveying and mapping team to come over, so it may be safer."

The chief thought for a while and nodded: "Well, it is appropriate for you to consider this way. After all, the nature of the tasks of meteorological monitoring and aerial surveying and mapping is different, and the requirements for the platform are bound to be different...en..."

As he said, the chief paused, then took a sip from the teacup, then raised his head to look at Zheng Quanli: "But anyway, the UAV of the Sin Chew Army is a good way. Now the headquarters is anxious for a new map. We There is no need to hide privately. In this way, you will go back and get a feasibility report of drone surveying and mapping, which I will attach to and sign. I think the headquarters will take it seriously."

...

The chief was right. The headquarters did attach great importance to the report from the military region. More precisely, it had to pay attention. There is no way. Topographic surveying and mapping are inherently time-critical and task-intensive. At this juncture, one is used for surveying and mapping. Il-18 was lying down.

Suddenly, the task of topographic surveying and mapping became tricky. In desperation, the headquarters could only use dumb methods to get the surveying and mapping teams of various subordinate units to move, hoping to use manpower to make up for the dilemma of missing a platform.

It's a pity that sometimes, there is a huge gap between the indifferent manpower and the huge technological advantage. Although the Il-18 is old, it can complete accurate surveying and mapping of 6,000 square kilometers in half a day with imported topographic surveying equipment.

The same range requires at least three eighty-person surveying and mapping teams to work day and night for nearly a month to complete.

The entire East China and South China region, which is not more than one million square kilometers, is filled with all the army's surveying and mapping teams. It will not be completed within one or two years.

The problem is that the maps in the hands of the army are on the verge of being eliminated, and some places have begun to affect normal military activities. After waiting for one or two years, will the army still defend the country?

Therefore, the surveying and mapping department of the headquarters is not only racking their brains to find a way, as long as other units and brothers have any ways to help improve the efficiency of surveying and mapping, the surveying and mapping department attaches great importance to it.

People's war requires brainstorming.

So after receiving Zheng Quanli's report, he transferred it to the Aeronautical Surveying and Mapping Brigade without thinking. Soon the Aeronautical Surveying and Mapping Brigade sent their aviation engineer Xue Weidong to see the situation on the spot.

In this regard, Xue Weidong was already numb.

He watched Yun 5, Yun 7, and Yun 8. The most successful one was the modification plan for Yun 8. As a result, they conducted several test flights on Yun 8 and found that Yun 8 had no pressure cabin design. This limits the use of the aircraft at high altitudes, and in some respects it is not as good as the IL-18 with a pressure cabin.

This made the multi-task aerial surveying and mapping team had no choice but to give up.

Afterwards, they turned their target to the "Trident" passenger aircraft that has been delivered to civil aviation, because this aircraft is suitable for the needs of the aviation surveying and mapping team, regardless of its size, flight performance, and even modification potential.

It's just that this idea just came out and was rejected by the superiors. The reason is simple. Since the end of the 1970s, there have been many accidents with this aircraft, and there have been no fewer than two crashes.

Nowadays, both the air force and the civil aviation are gradually phasing out this model. Even if their aerial surveying and mapping brigade can't use the new model, it can't make use of something that is ready to be eliminated due to poor safety.

Although the "Trident" passenger plane was not good enough, Xue Weidong did not give up searching for it in the civil aircraft. For example, they focused on the Boeing 707 and McDonnell Douglas 80 imported from the United States some time ago.

To this end, they also provided a detailed feasibility report to their superiors, who also supported it. But before they could take any action, the people from Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, who got the news, came to the door.

They first took out the civilian procurement contract, pointed to the above clause prohibiting military use, and told Xue Weidong that the civilian airliner is for civilian use. Without their consent, the user country cannot make militarized modification at will, otherwise they will cancel the sale of the aircraft according to the contract. Post-maintenance and spare parts supply.

Xue Weidong didn’t care about the contract. They bought the plane with money, so it’s not up to them to decide how to use it. But the supply of maintenance and spare parts is cut off. There is no way. Many of the equipment on the planes are blank in China. Simple maintenance is okay, and complex overhauls have to be returned to the US factory. If this is broken, what can the newly developed civil aviation do?

Looking at Xue Weidong and the others, the Americans immediately turned their heads and took out a lot of information on special aircraft modified for the United States, and said to Xue Weidong and others, why are you so strenuous? Just buy our modified aircraft, world-class. , No blows, no black, as long as 60 million US dollars a plane, to ensure that the Chinese Air Force can enjoy the pleasure of modernization.

The information is very exciting, and the performance is also greedy, but the price... It is not enough to pack Xue Weidong and the others, 60 million US dollars per aircraft, how much is the annual military expenditure of the Air Force? With this one, the Air Force doesn’t even need to eat.

Ever since, the idea of ​​refitting with foreign airliners is completely blocked.

There is no way, but it can only be transferred back to the country. Some people can't make it, and no one can make up for it? So Xue Weidong and others brought the Changkong-1 UAV used for the air force equipment test. After all, from the perspective of the range, this UAV with more than 500 kilometers is still very impressive.

After taking it and refitting, I tried several times~www.readwn.com~ The effect cannot be said to be ineffective, at least it is more efficient than human surveying and mapping, but the battery life of more than one hour is really too little, let alone a hard landing. The method is even more tormenting. The topographic surveying and mapping equipment installed are imported precision instruments, which cannot withstand falling.

As a result, due to the nature of the original target drone, the long-air drone was designed to be very unrestrained. Therefore, every time the detection equipment was disgraced by the wildly landing method of the long-air drone, the detection equipment was not scrapped after two or three sorties. , The sensitivity is greatly reduced.

In addition, the turbojet-6 jet engine mounted on it has a high failure rate. Every survey requires a lot of maintenance personnel to accompany it. The fuel consumption is also amazing, not to mention the inconvenience, and the cost of use. It is so high that Xue Weidong now has a headache whenever he hears the word drone.

Now that I have received a mission to go south, I am only looking at drones. Xue Weidong’s brains are about to split. Even the long-sky series drones in the military that represent the advanced level in the country are not good enough. What drones can meet aerial survey The request of the brigade?

It's a pity that the superiors ordered him to go, so let's go and see, anyway, so many places have been visited, it's not bad...

Sitting in the dangling jeep, Xue Weidong couldn't help thinking...
