China attaches great importance to Nepal's strong interest in the Y-6, especially the ministries and commissions in charge of the aviation industry, which completely regard it as the focus of work. In some aspects, it even pays more attention to it than the J-5 and J-6. 6. Fighters like the J-7.
This is mainly because the Y-6 is a highly adaptable general aviation aircraft. In addition to military use, it also has great advantages in civilian use, especially in passenger transportation. The disaster relief mission in southern Tibetan areas has become prominent. , whether it is the transfer of seriously ill victims or the rotation of border troops, Yun-6 has played an irreplaceable role.
It can be said that without Yun-6's timely and efficient air bridge to the disaster area, it would be impossible for the country to successfully complete the rescue work and subsequent reconstruction of the disaster area in such a short period of time.
¡°There is no domestic export precedent for this kind of advanced aircraft that can carry people and safely cross high-altitude areas.
If Y-6 can create a first in this regard, it will be tantamount to making history: domestic passenger aircraft will break foreign monopoly and enter the world market.
With just this sentence, the year-end performance of the ministries and commissions was instantly fulfilled.
If anyone dares to say that the domestic aviation industry has become a OEM factory for foreign aviation giants, that advanced manned passenger aircraft have become a monopoly of foreign brands, and that domestic air transportation has become the back garden of foreign aviation manufacturers, the leaders of the ministries and commissions will definitely take a breath of salt. He sprayed the soda, straightened his chest proudly, and responded with full force: "Open your eyes and take a good look at the Lucky 6!"
Therefore, although the main leaders of the ministries and commissions were happy with Yunliu's excellent performance during the disaster relief period, they always felt that Yunliu's value had not been maximized. At this time, Nepali Baba came to inquire about Yunliu's situation, with the intention of domestic and international cooperation. The leaders of these ministries and commissions will naturally seize this opportunity with the most enthusiasm.
Ascendas Aviation Manufacturing Corporation's positive attitude towards the ministries and commissions this time is of course support with both hands and feet. For so many years, Ascendas Aviation Manufacturing Corporation has been working alone abroad. Now the national team has stepped forward to help promote Ascendas Aviation. The manufacturing company is naturally happy to relax.
So we simply gave the low-profile version of the Highland Eagle A, the mid-range version of the Highland Eagle B, and the high-profile version of the Highland Eagle C, which are the Y-6 currently equipped by the Chinese Air Force. There are three versions for Nepal to choose from.
There is no essential difference in the architecture of the three Highland Eagles. They are all straight upper monoplanes with support rods, the same fixed rear three-point landing gear, the height, length, and even the layout of the cockpit are exactly the same. Even from a distance, There is no difference in the appearance of the three Highland Eagles, just like they are carved from the same mold.
But in fact, the three Highland Eagle models are essentially different inside. If nothing else, the materials used in the three models are different.
Plateau Eagle A uses the most common aviation aluminum; Plateau Eagle B is slightly better, using aviation aluminum plus aluminum-nickel alloy, and is equipped with a simple gasket material commonly used in pressurized cabins; as for the foreign trade version of Yun 6, The so-called Plateau Eagle C uses lightweight and expensive integrated composite honeycomb structure materials.
This is like the difference between whether a house is made of wood, bricks, or reinforced concrete. Even if it looks exactly the same, the performance is completely different.
Because the main materials are different, the manufacturing process is different, and the performance of the finished products produced by different processes will naturally be different.
What's more, the engines selected by Ascendas Aviation Manufacturing Corporation are different according to the different positioning of the three models. The Plateau Eagle A does not have a pressurized cabin and cannot perform high-altitude flight missions. Therefore, Ascendas Aviation Manufacturing Corporation positions this model as Ordinary agricultural aircraft.
The option is the mature D-30wl turboprop engine from Ascendas Aviation Manufacturing Corporation, with a power of 645 kilowatts and a shaft horsepower of 876 horsepower.
It has a load capacity of 1.52 tons, a range of 1,800 kilometers, and a practical ceiling of 3,800 meters. It has good short-distance take-off and landing capabilities. It is mainly built to be sturdy and durable, and it also has the important task of further improving the D-30wl turboprop engine.
Plateau Eagle B is better than Plateau Eagle A. It has the performance of some pressurized cabins and is equipped with a basic air conditioning system and wing de-icing device, but it does not have an air circulation system.
The practical ceiling can reach 7,000 meters, but it is only a theoretical value. The general flight altitude is below 3,000 meters. The engine selected is the TPE331-10 turboprop engine produced by the American Honeywell Company, which has 776 kilowatts and shaft horsepower. for 1,050 horsepower.
With a load capacity of 1.64 tons and a range of 1,800 kilometers, it is positioned as a short-range passenger and cargo transport aircraft, and can be converted into a small business jet by optionally installing a business jet kit.
The last one is the transportation of Chinese Air Force equipment. Whether it is materials, processes, supporting equipment or engines, they have been greatly upgraded. They were even used for export in the later plans of Ascendas Aviation Manufacturing Corporation.?The Highland Eagle C will also be equipped with an optional set of retractable landing gear.
This will increase the current top speed of the Plateau Eagle C, which is more than 300 kilometers per hour, to 400 kilometers per hour. Of course, this will greatly reduce the corresponding short take-off and landing capabilities and adaptability to take-off and landing conditions.
However, Ascendas Aviation Manufacturing Corporation positions the Plateau Eagle C as a high-end flagship aircraft, mainly used for business aircraft and government aircraft; in the military, in addition to plateau transportation, it can be used as a multi-mission tactical platform for the army and modified into a communications command aircraft, maritime patrol aircraft, small anti-submarine aircraft and even small airborne early warning aircraft.
In this way, the Plateau Eagle C's compromised short take-off and landing capabilities and adaptability to take-off and landing conditions are nothing. It's not like a big boss is riding the Plateau Eagle C up and down on rural dirt roads all day long. The plane is upside down. It doesn't matter, where should I put the boss's face? Flying smoke and dust?
So this small performance reduction is not a problem at all.
Of course, the three models have different positioning, different tasks, and great differences in performance. Naturally, there is a big difference in price. The Highland Eagle A is entry-level and the cheapest, priced at one million yuan.
The Plateau Eagle B is the most versatile, has the greatest mission flexibility, and is also the most cost-effective, priced at RMB 2.2 million.
Since the Plateau Eagle C is a high-end model, its price has naturally risen. The basic type of fixed landing gear equipped by the Air Force, which is the Y-6, sells for three million yuan.
The plateau Eagle C-100 with retractable landing gear and a luxury business jet package will cost 3.6 million yuan.
As for adding various military kits and converting it into a tactical support aircraft for different tactical missions, it will cost at least 5 million yuan.
The above quotations are all domestic prices. As for the export prices, Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation is very simple and crude, just convert RMB into US dollars.
