Take Off My Aviation Era

Chapter 546: Can we produce helicopters?

The early warning aircraft frightened the Tu-16 reconnaissance aircraft commanded by Churkin back, and the subsequent aviation assault formation successfully reached the designated sea area, launched air-launched anti-ship missiles, and accurately hit the target ship.

  

   The next day, the major domestic official media reported the incident on the main page, and the media affiliated with the army even reported

  

   The photos of the B-6 bomber launching missiles were published on the front page and caused quite a stir.

  

  In Cam Ranh Bay, the most discussed is not the tough H-6 bomber or the domineering long-range anti-ship missile, but the early warning aircraft that has a glimpse of it.

  

   It's just that, in contrast to Churkin's vows, the vast majority of Soviet officers and soldiers, including the commander of the Soviet army in Cam Ranh Bay, did not take Churkin's statement to heart.

  

   is very simple, can China have an early warning aircraft? How can it be? Do they have this ability?

  

   If there is, how could it be possible that the Soviet Union’s efficient intelligence network would not be aware of it?

  

   Therefore, China's so-called early warning aircraft is likely to be a false proposition. Churkin was either nervously misunderstood, or found a reason to throw the pot because of failure.

  

   The high probability should be the latter, because after the Figure-16 reconnaissance aircraft returned home, the technicians did not find an abnormality related to the early warning aircraft through the signals recorded above.

  

Because of this, many people even gave Churkin the nickname of a mirage, meaning that the so-called early warning aircraft he saw should be a mirage. Except for the real picture, the others are all illusory, insinuating Churkin's throwing the pot. First-class skill.

  

   Churkin almost didn't go crazy, and he wanted to run to Qiong Island immediately, back the early warning aircraft, and tell his superiors and colleagues that he did not lie. China really has early warning aircraft.

  

   However, the cold reality tells Churkin that no matter how full his thoughts are, he must become a backbone of all kinds. Even the boundaries of China are entered. What else is there to talk about back to the early warning aircraft? Hmm... dreaming is fine!

  

   Here, Churkin was tortured because of the Chinese AWACS, but he could only daydream. Zhuang Jianye, who was recalled to the country urgently, did not have the pain of Churkin.

  

  Because the so-called "early warning aircraft" that caught a glimpse of Churkin was developed by Ascendas Group.

  

   Why is it involved in the development? Because Ascendas Group only provides the platform for the TM-9 aircraft. As for the installation of radar and subsequent modifications, the Air Force Aeronautical Surveying and Mapping Brigade and the China Electric Power Research Institute are responsible for the implementation.

  

   It's not that Ascendas Group does not want to take down this large project with potential in the future. The key is that it does not have advanced radar original test equipment and debugging capabilities on hand.

  

  Of course, the ability to provide a platform is also a very meaningful thing for Ascendas Group. In any case, this proves that the TM-9 aircraft is an excellent platform.

  

Otherwise, the Air Force has Yun 7, Yun 8, Yun 12, as well as An-26, which is equipped with D-46ML turboprop engine, and Ascendas Group’s fist product, Yun 6, so many products are not selected, but they choose a bit of a sideline. TM-9 aircraft.

  

  There is nothing else, because the overall performance and balance of the TM-9 aircraft is more in line with the modification requirements of the Air Force Aviation Surveying and Mapping Brigade.

  

   No way, who made the "water search" radar imported from the United Kingdom overly squeamish.

  

   The equipment cannot be cold or too hot. The most important thing is that vibration and noise must be controlled in a low range, otherwise the entire radar system will be disturbed.

  

   Similar problems can be controlled very well by the British. After all, the established industrial countries have a solid foundation. This is not a problem at all.

  

It’s a bit of a headache if you can transfer to the country. Due to the engine, fuselage structure, material and other reasons, the noise of Yun 7, Yun 8 and Yun 12 is not only loud, but the internal environment of the cabin is also difficult to guarantee. The in-depth improvement project of Yun 8 Mounted, began to add airtight cabins.

  

   But this improvement project has just started, and it will take a few years to get results.

  

   If this were placed in the past, the Air Force could only wait staringly, but now it is different. Ascendas Group has an aircraft platform with excellent noise and environmental ceiling control.

  

  Although the size is a bit smaller, the small islander aircraft, which was originally carried by the British "water search" radar, is also not large. It is not still equipped with the "water search" radar and turned into a small airborne early warning aircraft.

  

   Therefore, I am not afraid of being small. The key is to be able to integrate it. The completion of the Air Force's use and research on early warning aircraft is the focus.

  

   Therefore, the Air Force Aeronautical Surveying and Mapping Brigade, which is in charge of this task, conducted an all-round investigation of the models of the Ascendas Group, and finally selected the TM-9 aircraft after some measurement.

  

   This is not to say that Yun-6 is not good enough, but because Yun-6's aerodynamic layout is not conducive to the placement of "water search" radars.

  

  In contrast, the TM-9 aircraft is different. Because of the low-wing single-wing and T-shaped vertical tail layout, the center of gravity of the aircraft itself is more forward, which is very beneficial for installing the radar in the middle and rear of the fuselage.

  

   In addition, the TM-9 aircraft has a range of more than 3,000 kilometers, a practical ceiling of more than 9,000 meters, and high-end business jet-level noise control and comfortable environment, which are very ideal "water search" radar carrying platforms.

  

   So a cylindrical radome was carried on the back of the plane, and the TM-9 radar warning plane with two radar identification displays and a communication device in the cabin was born.

  

   The military code-named Yun 6X radar security aircraft.

  

The reason why it is called a radar warning aircraft rather than an early warning aircraft is mainly because the Air Force Aviation Surveying and Mapping Brigade has reviewed the US military's positioning of the early warning aircraft several times and found that there is a large gap in the real performance of the Yun 6X, and it cannot complete the performance of the US early warning aircraft. , So it was directly downgraded to a radar warning machine.

  

   This also proves from another aspect that the biggest American fan is our domestic army.

  

However, whether it is an early warning aircraft or a radar warning aircraft, the Yun-6X has allowed aviation to make breakthroughs in command and combat styles. It is precisely because of this that after the maritime conflict in March, the country began to pay attention to the construction of air power. The demand for Yun 6X skyrocketed instantly.

  

  Zhuang Jianye was urgently recalled to the country because the superiors approached him to discuss the 6X production increase.

  

   Of course, Zhuang Jianye didn’t say anything about it, and he was naturally responsive, so he quickly signed a sales contract with the Air Force for 12 aircraft at a price of 6 million yuan per aircraft.

  

And give priority to the production of these 12 aircraft. As for the TM-9 aircraft required by Thailand, Zhuang Jianye arranged it behind with a big stroke~www.readwn.com~ As for whether Royal Thai Aerospace will express dissatisfaction, Zhuang Jianye didn't even think about it. If you are dissatisfied, you will produce it yourself.

  

However, Zhuang Jianye estimates that this will only be done unless Royal Thai Aerospace’s head is drawn. It is most likely to fully support it, because Ascendas Group produces radar warning aircraft with the characteristics of early warning aircraft, which are high-end goods among the world’s weapons and equipment today, generally small and medium-sized countries. Can't afford to play at all.

  

   If the TM-9 aircraft can be used as a platform for this type of aircraft, that is to say, in the near future, Thailand can also become a country that "independently develops and produces" early warning aircraft. The benefits to Thailand are simply self-evident.

  

   Facts have proved that this is true. When Thailand learned of the situation, instead of being annoyed by the delay of the order, it hoped to join in. Royal Thai Aerospace never frowned.

  

However, this matter is not something Zhuang Jianye can call the shots. Besides, besides transporting the 6X radar security aircraft, he now has one more important thing to consider, that is, the factory leaders of the Xiangzhou Aircraft Manufacturing Factory who passed the previous investigation and inspection came to discuss the trusteeship. When it came to the issue of conversion, I suddenly raised an idea that shocked everyone in the Ascendas Group, and that was whether they could continue to produce helicopters.
