However, it is one thing to make sure to use it, and another thing to decide whether it can be used.
Although the Dornier-228 small transport aircraft has excellent paper indicators, it has a payload of about two tons, or a passenger capacity of 19 people. It has a take-off distance of 792 meters and a landing and rolling distance of 451 meters. It is a typical short take-off and landing. airplane.
It can be said that it crushes all small transport aircraft of the same level.
But the problem is that the beautiful data on paper does not mean that it is so good in practical applications. The Dornier-228 has a good payload, but its flight distance is only 1,100 kilometers, and the Dornier-228 station in Bangalore is far away from Luzhou on the northern border. Geer Town is a full 1,800 kilometers away.
In other words, Dornier-228 took off from the Air Force Base in Bangalore and had to land at least twice to refuel and resupply before flying to Ruger Town to pick up Marcelo and others.
Why two times? It¡¯s very simple. As the hardest hit area, the victims of Ruger Town didn¡¯t even have enough food to eat. How do you expect them to have extra aviation fuel and complete ground maintenance?
Therefore, before entering the town of Ruger, the aircraft must be adjusted to the best condition, so that the Dornier-228 can take off and return without supplies after entering the town of Ruger.
And on this line, the military does have several airports that can be used.
So New Delhi frantically dispatched a Dornier-228 to the town of Rugar to evacuate the three Western journalists. As a result, they finally made a plan. The plane successfully passed through two alternate airports for supply and maintenance, and finally arrived at Rugar. over the town.
The pilot flew the Dornier-228 around the town of Ruger several times, and finally shook his wings and returned home in a swaggering manner.
This made Marcelo and Merklein, who were mistreated by the local garrison and the victims in Ruger Town and were looking forward to the stars and the moon to go home, almost burst into tears. Regardless of their status as big Vs in the West, they pointed at the flying Dornier left¡ª228 is so ugly and scolding.
¡°It¡¯s just that the pilot flying the plane couldn¡¯t hear it at all, so the two people¡¯s scolding was destined to be in vain, but even if the pilot heard it, he still wouldn¡¯t land.
The reason is very simple. Although the Dornier-228 has short take-off and landing capabilities, the landing gear is too short from the ground, and the retractable landing gear is not deliberately strengthened. As a result, the Dornier-228 does not have the capability to operate on complex ground. take-off and landing capabilities.
In other words, in addition to regular airports, Dornier-228 can take off and land on flat roads at most.
This is no problem at all in Europe. After all, Europe not only has many airports, but also has a developed road network. Dornier-228 can be used no matter what.
But in the South Asian subcontinent, which is watered by the Ganges River, the Dornier-228 can no longer play. It is also a road. As long as people can walk on the muddy ground, it is an excellent road.
This is like an aristocratic lady from a well-off family marrying a rough man who has nothing and wants a refined life? It's so beautiful. I'll let you fuck me a few times first and then I'll finish it.
This is what Dornier-228 encountered. It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t want to sleep with a rough guy. The problem is that once the smelly body is pressed down, half of his delicate little body will die.
So the ambitious plan just got started, but ended in a mess, because New Delhi can't expect the victims of the Rugar Town who can't even fill their stomachs to build a kilometer-long asphalt road, right?
Even if the victims are willing to repair it, what about the construction machinery? What to do with engineering materials? You must know that the roads leading to the disaster area have not yet been opened. If all these construction equipment and materials can be transported in, why use airplanes? Several reporters returned along the land passage.
There is no other way. New Delhi officials can only use helicopters to complete this task. After all, helicopters are more flexible in taking off and landing than fixed aircraft, not to mention New Delhi is still very confident in this regard.
¡°If it hadn¡¯t wanted to compete with a large Eastern country on small fixed-wing transport aircraft, New Delhi would have sent helicopters there long ago.
Yes, New Delhi is once again confident in helicopters. Even though a legal Skylark 3 helicopter responsible for disaster relief crashed not long ago, New Delhi still feels confident because in addition to the Skylark 3 helicopter, they also have a sa- Type 3158 "Rhea" helicopter.
You must know that this model is purely made in China, so New Delhi believes that compared to the French Skylark 3, it is not only cheaper but also more reliable.
After confirming the new plan, New Delhi immediately took action. After three transitions, the two "Role" helicopters finally arrived at Rugar Town.
¡°What made Marcelo and Merklein cry so hard was that only one of the two helicopters arrived, but even the one that arrived couldn¡¯t take them back.
Because of this "American Ostrich"When the helicopter landed again, the engine suddenly stalled, and then it fell to the ground in the eyes of the two people in disbelief.
That was all. What made the two of them even more confused was that the pilot who had narrowly escaped the disaster actually used the radio to report that he had successfully arrived at the disaster area. It was just a small mistake and it turned into a hard landing. He needed support from the rear and some spare parts. Only then can foreign journalists gathered together be evacuated.
Marcelo and Merklein went crazy after hearing this. How can this be called a success? Call it a hard landing? The helicopter has been scrapped, okay? How dare you repair it and fly back?
By the way, where is the other one?
Marcelo and Merclain were trapped in the disaster area and could not be found even if they tried to look for it, but New Delhi officials were very helpful. In less than a day, it was determined that another "Rhea" helicopter had crashed. The reasons given by New Delhi officials It was pilot error.
In other words, New Delhi does not admit that there are any problems with its own helicopters. There are only bad pilots, not bad domestic aircraft.
As a result, just when New Delhi officials were evading the important and talking about the achievements of the country's aviation industry, the Dornier-228 that was responsible for the rescue a few days ago suddenly crashed on the way to Ruger Town after being modified, including a German engineer. All eight people inside were killed.
A day later, another modified Dornier-228 suddenly lost control and skidded off the runway during takeoff. Two crew members died and four others were injured.
Coupled with the crash of a MiG-23 three days ago, a total of five aircraft were lost in just four days.
??????????????????????????????????????? More than one falls almost every day. This probability is higher than that of the typhoon blowing in the Indian Ocean. No matter how hard it is, there will not be one typhoon in a day.
Now New Delhi officials could not say that there was nothing wrong with their own aircraft. Instead, they changed their tone and began to criticize the original design of these aircraft as having problems that had nothing to do with their domestic production.
As a result, when these words came out, it was like setting off a map bomb. The original design of the "Rhea" helicopter was given by France; the Dornier-228 was from Germany, and the MiG-23 was from the Soviet Union. Good guy, three countries co-authored it. All aircraft designs have problems, but yours in New Delhi is the best?
So the media of the three countries and the media of New Delhi started all kinds of wars and exchanges of words about the crashed plane. As a result, New Delhi was covered in black and white spray.
The other three countries are not much better, and the reputation of the three models has plummeted.
