Chapter 612 Big Plane

Yanlong is the largest aviation city in China that integrates aircraft design, manufacturing, identification, test flight, teaching and research. Among them, the AVIC Flight Testing Research Institute is responsible for almost all military aircraft test flight tasks and is the largest flight test institute in Asia. When Yang Xing and Wen Rengui arrived here, they also saw the figures of Li Zhonghua and other test flight heroes who were frequently on camera from the team that welcomed the leaders at the airport.

Although Yang Xing is famous in the business world, he does not appear in the media frequently in China because of the above instructions. Yang Xing also intends to show up without showing off, so he is wearing an Air Force Lieutenant Colonel uniform and follows Wen Rengui's entourage. Although he looks very young, most of the attention of the Flight Test Institute and the Air Force leaders are focused on national leaders such as Wen Rengui, and no one pays attention to him.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Yang Xing was also happy to be idle. He ran aside to observe the air aprons in the test flight yard. In the past, he could only watch drooling fighter jets in military magazines at most. It was funny that he, a lieutenant colonel of the Air Force, has not officially come into contact with an active fighter jet yet. At most, he can enjoy himself on his own private jets. Today, he finally had the opportunity to come into contact with the air force's active equipment and many high-tech aircraft for experiments. Of course, he must observe it carefully before talking about it.

In the military's "nuclear high-grade" acceptance project, many key aircraft of the Air Force have received support from the domestic "heart" because of the emergence of the "Taihang" engine, and their confidence has increased greatly. The test pilots and the leaders of the test institute praised them, believing that they have escaped the long-term control of the aviation industry. They are proud to introduce many key aircraft models that are being tested.

Yang Xing was excited to listen to the scientific researchers' explanation. At this time, a large group of people surrounded Wen Rengui to see the next project. Yang Xing did not notice that one of them was coming towards him until he felt that someone had been slapped on his back. He was furious. At this time, who dared to touch him and turned around and prepared to fight back. However, as soon as he saw the person in front of him, his body immediately became a little shorter and he said weakly: "Mr. Ariksai, why are you here?"

When Yang Xing was able to receive the Soviet secret document, the former director of the 16th KGB Bureau made great contributions. Because the information he provided was so important, the country took his whole family back to the country for the sake of his completeness, and even let him hide in Macau for a while to avoid the limelight. Later, the news passed, and Yeterina and Morieva appeared again, but Ariksey disappeared. Yang Xing only heard Yeterina say that he seemed to be helping the country in engage in major military-industry projects, but he didn't expect to hit him here today.

Of course, Yang Xing saw that he had a ghost in his heart. He was a group of three girls with "Secret" on a Hainan cruise ship, as well as Yeterina, Lin Jiana and others, and were like a wave of passion. The spring breeze was several times. Yeterina and Morieva were sisters, and Lin Jiana was also the goddaughter of Arikse. This relationship was very exciting, but in the eyes of his father, I am afraid no one would tolerate it. So when Yang Xing saw Arikse, he didn't even dare to look at him directly, and he felt guilty and sweated all over his body.

However, Ariksai had a normal attitude and seemed to have not heard any news. He was still very enthusiastic about him, an acquaintance. When he learned that Yang Xing was here to attend the acceptance meeting, he knew how much Yang Xing played in the matter, so he immediately pulled Yang Xing excitedly and talked about the project he was helping with domestic research. Yang Xing looked at him and seemed to have no idea that he had sex with his daughters. He thought that their daughter's house was embarrassed to promote the matter everywhere, so he felt relieved and listened carefully to Ariksai's introduction.

Ariksai helped the development of the country to be an amazing project, because he was involved in the crown jewel of the aviation industry officially launched and developed in China - the big aircraft project. It includes two types of military and civilian models. The civilian model is a long-time passenger aircraft with a range of about 100 seats and a range of more than 3,000 kilometers, and the military model is a large strategic transport aircraft with a take-off weight of more than 200 tons.

Because Ariksey participated in the development of several large military transport aircraft of the former Soviet Union when he was the director of the 16th KGB Bureau. After the Soviet Union collapsed, he returned to the Ukrainian National Security Bureau and was also familiar with the Antonov Design Bureau, a famous large aircraft research institution in Ukraine. In particular, Antonov Design Bureau was the main development unit of military transport aircraft during the Soviet era. The title of the An-224 transport aircraft he developed has maintained has remained the largest transport aircraft in the world. Ariksey knows many experts and scholars of the design bureau. If he wants to develop his own large aircraft project in China, of course, he must use his experience as an old horse to guide his guide.

When Yang Xing heard that he decided to launch the large aircraft project in China, he lamented in his heart that the butterfly that traveled through time and space finally stormed a storm. However, he remembered that it was not until 2008 that the domestic formally announced the establishment of a large aircraft project in China. In addition to technical issues, the main reason was that the national treasury was full at that time and had the ability to implement this project that was expensive and took a long time.

In this life, the country has been preparing to promote the "big aircraft" project so early. In addition to learning from the Soviet secrets, the frequent reports of the military industry have given the central government confidence. It believes that even if it is difficult to do, it is necessary to promote large-scale engineering projects related to the core interests of the country at all costs. Now, the "foreigner" who can participate in it is not only that Ariksai's actions have won the trust of the central government, but also reflect the central government's determination to develop independent technology large aircraft.

It is not that China has never thought about boarding a large aircraft, but several tests ended in failure, so there has been a debate about boarding a large aircraft. After all, the monopoly of this market is outrageous. The world's seats exceed 100, and the trunk aircraft market that can achieve intercontinental flights have been basically divided by two giants Boeing and Airbus.

Unlike other industries, aircraft manufacturing is not only huge investment, but also has a long return cycle. The determination of a model may affect the development in the next 20 years or even longer. This requires extremely firm national will and long-term huge investment in funds to support it. In the development of large aircraft projects, not only China has repeatedly hit a wall, but also fallen brothers and brothers are not only big countries like Russia, Britain, and Japan, but also developing countries like Indonesia.

In the 1950s, Britain produced the world's first jet passenger aircraft, Comet Havilland, and occupied the leading position of world civil aviation. But the first person to take the lead in crawling crabs always had to bear huge risks. Due to immature technology, seven or eight passenger aircraft fell from the sky. Because they were afraid of taking risks again, the development of British passenger aircraft has been unable to move forward, and finally gave the advantage to the stronger Americans.

Japan, which once actively developed large aircraft, also "pragmatically" chose to become a "super worker" for Boeing and Airbus through repeated attempts and setbacks. Due to the Cold War, the former Soviet Union developed a civil aviation passenger aircraft system with its own style, competing with the civil aviation aircraft led by the United States. In the field of military transport aircraft, it surpassed American goods in many aspects.

However, although Russia retained very advanced aircraft manufacturing technology after the end of the Cold War, since the international market's civil aviation standards were completely monopolized by European and American standards, the civil aircraft project was artificially stipulated many additional conditions such as "standards" and "thresholds". Russian civil passenger aircraft has not been able to enter the international market. Moreover, the "Tu-154" aircraft, which is mainly used by Russia, has repeatedly reported bad news of crashes, leaving people with the impression that Russian civil aviation passenger aircraft is unreliable. As a result, Russian aircraft cannot land at airports in many countries, forcing Russian airlines to throw away their planes and switch to Western civil passenger aircraft.

The lessons learned from Canada and Indonesia in small countries have made the world more wary of the world. One of the world's largest regional aircraft manufacturers, Bombardier, once intended to produce large civilian passenger aircraft, but unexpectedly, the Americans, who are known as the best neighbor, do not give any face. In order to continue to enjoy the huge benefits brought by monopoly, Boeing and Airbus jointly launched a "joint encirclement and suppression" of Bombardier, indicating which engine manufacturer provides engines to Bombardier passenger aircraft, so as not to find a location on the new aircraft of Airbus and Boeing. Under the pressure of Boeing and Airbus, the supplier did not dare to cooperate with Bombardier, which caused the large aircraft project to be stranded.

Indonesia established the state-owned Indonesian Aircraft Industry Company during the Suharto era and developed the n250 aircraft in 1997. Indonesia's whole country was thrilling, but just one year away from obtaining an airworthiness certificate, the Asian financial crisis broke out and the Indonesian aviation industry suffered a heavy blow. At that time, the additional condition for the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund to agree to aid Indonesia was that "no cent of this money can be used in the aircraft industry", and the dream of Indonesia's large aircraft was completely shattered.

The road to domestic large aircraft development is also full of bumps. In 1970, my country established a project to develop the famous "Yun-Ten" aircraft. In 1984, two prototypes with complete independent property rights were developed and successfully flew to Lhasa. However, the last order completely ended the project. The domestic efforts to independently develop large aircraft were stagnated for more than ten years.

Subsequently, China and the US McDonald Co., Ltd. cooperated to produce the md-80 passenger plane, but more than ten years of acquisition of McDonald Co., Ltd. ended up in vain. Since then, there have been news that China cooperated with Singapore and large aircraft with Russia, but they were all left unresolved for various reasons.

But this time, the central government has made great decisions. In recent years, China's manufacturing level has improved, and it has undertaken many foreign aircraft parts manufacturing orders, and has a certain technical foundation for manufacturing large aircraft. The military joined in at the right time and decided to share the technology of civil aviation passenger aircraft to develop its own large transport aircraft to solve the problem of long-term long-range maneuverability in the military. This project can receive support from both the military and the civilians, and the hope of success has increased greatly.
