"Why do these words sound so familiar to me?" Lao Zhou in the cabin asked with a frown, and immediately reacted. He glared at Song Changzheng in the cockpit angrily, and said: "What Xiaozhuang said, You have the nerve to use it."
"You're calling me Xiaozhuang now? I wonder who called Ascendas Airlines nonsense half a month ago?"
"You and I¡¡"
Lao Zhou didn't expect that Song Changzheng would expose him at this time. For a moment, Lao Zhou's face turned red, not to mention how embarrassed he was. The other officers and soldiers operating the equipment next to him suppressed their laughter, which made Lao Zhou want to rush over and kill Song Changzheng. The talkative one was thrown out of the plane through the window.
¡°Lao Zhou¡¯s name is Zhou Jiwei, and he is the deputy captain of the Naval Aviation Special Flying Group. The two An-26 platforms that Song Changzheng was responsible for replacing with Tengfei Aerodynamic D-46ml turboprop engines came from Zhou Jiwei¡¯s special flying group.
In line with the principle of making the best use of everything, now that more efficient engines have been installed, the Navy simply went all the way to the end and further improved the two An-26s to make them more efficient special support platforms. It is used for early warning, communications, anti-submarine, patrol, anti-ship missile relay guidance and other tasks.
"It's just that the Navy's idea is good, but it's a little hesitant about how to change it. This is mainly because Navy experts have proposed two plans: major changes and minor changes.
The major modification is to perform a deep major surgery on the inside and outside of the An-26 when its basic structure is inconvenient, and install the required support equipment to make it a professional special support aircraft.
As for minor modifications, it is to add a pod and install some external equipment to give the An-26 some special support capabilities.
Both types of modifications have their own pros and cons. Major modifications are more professional and have stronger mission capabilities, but complex modifications bring long development times and unpredictable bottlenecks and risks.
The small modification is simple and efficient, but it also faces the problems of insufficient mission support and low combat capabilities.
In addition, there are also choices of aircraft types. For example, early warning and communication support types are welcomed by Zhou Jiwei and others; anti-submarine and patrol types are very interesting to people like Chen Fang.
"In short, the Navy has been debating for a long time how to modify the two aircraft and what they should look like, but they still haven't figured out the reason.
As a result, just when the Navy was hesitant, Ascendas Aviation Corporation provided two sets of underbelly boxed component structures to the An-26 that was undergoing test flights in the name of D-46ml turboprop engine supporting equipment.
Its prototype comes from the artificial rainfall component on the Yun-6 that performed well during the Daxinganling fire rescue.
It is a cargo compartment expansion component that is located close to the bottom of the aircraft belly. It is divided into three compartments. It can imitate small items of cargo and can also use pull-out storage boxes to carry liquids.
The material is T700 carbon fiber composite material, which has been trimmed by wind tunnel testing and integrated into one piece. With the connection holes and control cable connectors reserved under the belly of the Y-6, it can be quickly installed and disassembled without damaging the body.
Of course, the boxed components provided under the belly of the An-26 are much more complicated than those for the Yun-6. After all, the components of the Yun-6 are just pure cargo components with a relatively single function.
"What Ascendas Aviation Corporation provides to the An-26 is an upgraded version of the multi-mission assembly, because the assembly is no longer cargo, but advanced special detection equipment.
Take the No. 01 component, which is quite satisfactory to the Navy. It integrates all the reconnaissance, detection and communication equipment on the No-Reconnaissance-8a "Plass" UAV equipped by the Air Force Surveying and Mapping Group.
With the improved ground control station and communication system installed in the cabin, the An-26 can have some of the performance of the Wuzhen-8a in addition to remote control in a very short time.
This is simply an unexpected surprise for the Navy. You must know that they have long been envious of the Air Force's Undetected-8a "Plass" drone.
However, the coverage of domestic communication satellites is too small and cannot be used on the vast ocean. Although the navy is jealous, it cannot equip them.
But if it is integrated into the An-26 in the form of components, it will be different. The UAV becomes a manned aircraft, and the problem of remote control is instantly solved. The Wuzhen-8a has super reconnaissance capabilities, anti-interference capabilities and The powerful confidential relay communication capability makes the An-26 immediately become a comprehensive communication reconnaissance and support platform with excellent performance.
In some aspects, it is even better than the Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft currently equipped by the Navy, becoming the most advanced support aircraft in the hands of the Navy.
It is precisely because this set of components has excellent performance and meets the current mission requirements of the Navy that Ascendas Aviation Corporation has developed this set of Mingxiu with the support of D-46ml turboprop engine.Plank Road secretly concealed Chen Cang's sales behavior, and the navy chiefs turned a blind eye and acquiesced to Ascendas Aviation Corporation to use an old An-26 to try it first. If the effect is good, it will be integrated into the replacement D- A modified version of the 46ml turboprop engine is installed on the An-26.
There is no need to say the results of the test. Wujian-8a¡¯s Zhuyu was first, and it participated in several border reconnaissance operations. The equipment optimized on this basis naturally has excellent performance, and the Navy quickly approved the use of No. 01 components to be integrated into the improved Type safety-26 decision.
However, as smooth as the No. 01 component was, the No. 02 component, also produced by Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation, was as bumpy as it was simply because this set of anti-submarine reconnaissance components was not recognized by most people in the Navy.
There are many reasons, but there is only one fundamental reason, and that is, has Ascendas Aviation Corporation ever been involved in the field of anti-submarine reconnaissance?
The answer is obvious. Let alone anti-submarine, Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation doesn¡¯t even know what fish are under the sea.
Component No. 01 is the technology directly used in the No-Reconnaissance-8a, so the Navy naturally has nothing to say; but what is the component No. 02 used for?
There are many voices of opposition, and Zhou Jiwei is one of them with the most firm attitude. In his own words, it is better to let the young boy named Zhuang do what he is good at, and don¡¯t talk nonsense all the time. Is it something that ordinary people can play with and spin? If I don¡¯t have that spare time, I might as well produce more No. 01 components. I still have seven or eight flying An-26s on hand, all of which have comprehensive reconnaissance and communication capabilities.
There are many similar words, almost completely killing component 02.
But at this moment, a notice from the Navy Headquarters shocked people like Zhou Jiwei who opposed the No. 02 component, that is, it agreed to add the No. 02 anti-submarine component to the comprehensive upgrade plan of the improved An-26.
Although they were shocked, Zhou Jiwei and others did not take it too seriously, because the notice from the Navy Headquarters was obviously experimental in nature. After all, anti-submarine warfare is an important task of the Navy. Since Ascendas Aviation Corporation has produced anti-submarine components, it is understandable to test it.
What's more, the scale and background of Ascendas Airlines are there. If it really takes the upper-level route, the Navy will have to give it some face.
It¡¯s just a pity that we have an improved An-26. How good would it be if it were changed to component No. 01?
As a result, not long after, the Eastern Alliance Fleet happened, and the improved An-26 equipped with the No. 02 anti-submarine component was ordered to perform aviation anti-submarine missions.
After successfully forcing out the Soviet submarine, Zhou Jiwei, who was in charge of the reconnaissance command, turned his objections and resistance into a sentence that could be heard at his grandma¡¯s house: Oh my god, it smells so good!
