Not only Wang Huan, but also Qi Hong and others saw the weird plane preparing to land at the factory airport, and were all shocked by its indescribable shape.
The most eye-catching thing is the bloated cylindrical body above the fuselage, which is like holding a large air bag. It starts above the cockpit windshield and extends to the front of the vertical tail. It is huge, eye-catching and shocking.
It¡¯s like a freshly baked fat man, swaying and looking bulky.
But to say that this plane is ugly, everyone really doesn¡¯t think so, because the huge body is bulky, but the overall streamlined shape makes people look very comfortable, especially the rounded upward transition above the nose, which is very similar. The smooth curve of the dolphin's bow in "Animal World", coupled with the significantly enlarged horizontal tail of the tail, and the small vertical tails installed at both ends of the horizontal tail to enhance stability, make the entire aircraft look very naive.
But it¡¯s not necessarily how beautiful it is. There¡¯s nothing we can do about it. In fact, this aircraft goes beyond people¡¯s general understanding of aircraft and completely subverts the elegant appearance of aircraft.
All in all, this is a plane that goes against common sense. If you hadn¡¯t watched this plane fall from the sky with your own eyes, no one would believe that such a heavy guy could fly into the sky.
However, just as the Shanghai Airlines group was stunned as they watched the landing plane, Qiao Shiming, who had not spoken for a long time, frowned and looked at Zheng Yongning: "Is it the maintenance task assigned by the group yesterday?"
Zheng Yongning nodded: "Yes, the one I contacted yesterday afternoon happened to be transported back by the 'air train' today."
Qiao Shiming nodded and said nothing. He was about to continue walking to the workshop when he found that Wang Huan, Qi Hong and other Shanghai Airlines people were all standing there, staring blankly at the special "air car" that had landed. The transport plane is slowly taxiing to a special vehicle with lifting function.
Immediately, the special vehicle raised the platform above it, gradually higher than the windshield of the "Aerial Vehicle". At the same time, the smooth and round bulge at the front of the "Aerial Vehicle" slowly opened and rose slowly, slowly revealing the huge road surface. space.
At this time, the special vehicle slowly moved forward and connected smoothly with the cabin floor in the cabin. The next moment, under the command of the on-site dispatcher, another compact aircraft was slowly drawn from the huge cabin of the "air car".
"It's a TM-9 aircraft!"
Someone in the Shanghai Airlines group exclaimed in surprise, causing Wang Huan to take off his glasses and wipe them vigorously, then opened his eyes wide and tried hard to see. With such intensity, he almost threw his eyes away. I understand.
As for everyone else, the same thing happened. Even Qi Hong, a veteran who had been in the army for nearly 20 years, looked dumbfounded.
¡°There is no way, the scene of the plane loading the plane and the plane spitting out the plane was really the first time for everyone present. The strangeness, weirdness and shock cannot be described in words.
In contrast, Qiao Shiming and Zheng Yongning are much calmer. They have seen similar scenes and have long been used to it. What's more, both Qiao Shiming and Zheng Yongning were more or less involved in the development of the "air car" Work.
Especially Qiao Shiming, the overall structure, control, transmission system and even aerodynamic layout of the "air car" were all calculated and researched bit by bit by him and the core team of Yunshi. It can be said that Qiao Shiming and the others are the real leaders in this model. core.
However, Qiao Shiming didn't care about this. At best, it was modified from the old model Il-18. Most of the architecture still followed the Soviet foundation. In Qiao Shiming's eyes, it was not considered a creation or breakthrough at all. Let alone a big plane or a big passenger plane.
Therefore, Qiao Shiming can only have a so-so view of the "air car". In comparison, what he cares more about is the maintenance of the Boeing 767, because it involves the performance and profits of the repair shop, so he has a dull look on Wang Huan and others. I don¡¯t understand it when I see the ¡°air shuttle¡± spitting out airplanes.
I thought to myself, what is so good about this thing? Some of it is not for food and some is not for money. If I have this time, I can explain the general framework of jt9d maintenance.
Wang Huan, Qi Hong and others did not have Qiao Shiming's calm attitude. They had been fascinated by the scene for a long time. Some of them even regretted not bringing their cameras over, otherwise they would have taken a few photos and taken them back, which would be enough to boast about for a year.
Some people think about gossip, and of course some people think about professionalism. This is the case for Wang Huan.
The use of the Il-18, an old model, to be modified and able to transport a small aircraft such as the TM-9 aircraft as a whole, which is close to 15 meters in length, proves that Ascendas Group has a deep foundation in key aviation basic fields, otherwise it is modified. The "air car" is like a fat man who is gaining weight crazily, let alone flyingWell, whether it can move on the ground is a problem.
You must know that this is not as simple as installing a pod on the IL-18 and plugging in an antenna, but a radical change from the inside out. The structure, startup, control, performance can be said to be all-round.
Rather than saying that the Ascendas Group modified the IL-18, it would be better to say that they built a brand new aircraft.
More importantly, the "air car" uses an engine produced by Tengfei Power. Although the performance needs further verification, judging from the performance when it landed just now, the operation of the entire powertrain is still very good, at least I haven't seen the northwest The turboshaft engine produced by the factory emits black smoke during takeoff and landing.
This shows that the power used by the "air car" has a higher fuel utilization rate, which on the other hand shows that this set of power has better fuel economy and more uniform power output.
Therefore, it can be concluded that the technical level of this turboprop engine is not low.
There is an old saying in aviation circles that those who can repair airplanes may not be able to build airplanes, but those who can build airplanes can certainly repair airplanes.
The reason why Wang Huan had some opinions about Ascendas Aviation Repair Factory before was mainly because the products produced by Ascendas Group in recent years were small aircraft, which were essentially different from large aircraft. Therefore, Wang Huan never believed that Ascendas Group could repair their Boeing 767. .
But when he saw the "air car" special transport aircraft that landed at the airport and was unloading, his previous ideas began to loosen uncontrollably.
The Il-18 has a maximum takeoff weight of 63 tons, which falls into the category of medium-sized aircraft. Ascendas Group can transform such a big thing into an "aerial vehicle" without super capabilities in materials, structure, power, and production and processing. It's simply impossible.
With a little use of these supporting facilities, they can be transformed into strong support for the maintenance of other models. Because of this, Wang Huan, who had a bad attitude at first, finally had a somewhat satisfied smile on his face and looked towards While waiting for them, a somewhat bored Qiao Shiming asked: "Qiao Qiao, do you have any specific maintenance plan for jt9d?"
"Since the damage to jt9d is not serious, our repair plan is very simple. The blade crown of the damaged low-pressure turbine blade has been processed"
"Wait a minute" Qiao Shiming just started to introduce the maintenance status of jt9d, but was interrupted by Wang Huan with a shocked look on his face: "Mr. Qiao, have you repaired the low-pressure turbine blades?"
