"TY-22 UAV?" After hearing the words of the head of the headquarters, before Zhuang Jianye could answer, the military leader cast his doubtful eyes on the head of the headquarters: "This model is very unfamiliar. Is there any project approved by the headquarters? "
"There is no project approved!" the head of the headquarters quickly replied after hearing this, and then took a few steps forward to approach the military leader and explained in a low voice: "The matter started with the old head of the headquarters"
It turns out that as early as twelve years ago, Ascendas Group, which had just been restructured from Ascendas Aviation Manufacturing Factory, had already begun research on the flying-wing aerodynamic layout.
However, given the conditions at the time, Ascendas Group could not compare with Northrop Corporation in the United States. They were building prototypes one generation after another, using dollars and the youth of technicians to create the B-2 stealth aircraft. Bombers, and the YF-23 fighter jet, which is even more powerful than the F-22.
The Ascendas Group did not have such strong conditions at that time. Let alone China Ascendas, even with the strength of the whole country, it is estimated that it would be difficult to compete with Northrop, who did not hesitate to pay the price.
The problem is that the Ascendas Group at that time did not have the strength of Northrop, but it also had its own unique advantage, which was its own drones. At that time, the Ascendas Group was in a period of great development of its own drones, so under Zhuang Jianye's Under the proposal, Ascendas Group incorporated the research on flying-wing aerodynamic layout into the overall framework of drones, relying on the drone system to improve this high-quality model with great future potential.
So there was the ty-22 drone.
At that time, Ascendas Group's TY-2 UAV platform, Attack-2 UAV and Wuzhen-8 large reconnaissance UAV were already in service in the army, so Zhuang Jianye wanted to apply for a fund from the headquarters in order to better Study the characteristics and precise control of the flying wing aerodynamic layout of the ty-22 UAV.
The headquarters at that time still attached great importance to the UAVs of the Ascendas Group, and immediately sent an expert team to evaluate the declared TY-22 UAV. The result
During the evaluation process, the ty-22 drone was directly disconnected. In three consecutive flight tests, all three consecutive flight tests were directly thrown from the sky to the ground due to an abnormality in the control system.
Not only were three drones destroyed, but the evaluation expert team¡¯s patience was exhausted and they directly wrote a ¡°failure¡± on the report and rejected Ascendas Group¡¯s ty-22 drone.
¡°If this were placed a few years later, even if Ascendas Group¡¯s ty-22 drone was just a scaled-down variant of the German ho-229 bomber during World War II, it is estimated that there would be no direct rejection.
Because at that time, the world's first true stealth bomber, the B-2, had been made public. The flying-wing layout that subverted the tradition was so fascinating that it set off a new craze in studying flying-wing layouts around the world.
The problem is that when the TY-22 UAV was evaluated, the B-2 bomber was still under strict confidentiality. Not to mention that it was unclear at home, even the Soviet KGB had no idea at that time. They only knew that the American ghosts were holding back on the bomber. Big move.
In addition, the aviation industry at that time generally believed that the flying-wing layout was difficult to control, had poor maneuverability, and slow flight speed. It was not the first choice for future combat aircraft, so it was not popular.
Various factors added up, resulting in the ty-22 drone being directly rejected by the headquarters.
Originally, this incident happened when the old head of the headquarters was in office. The current head of the headquarters was not aware of it. Coincidentally, when the re-elected head of the headquarters was handed over, the American B-2 stealth bomber was officially unveiled, so the old head of the headquarters explained it before he left office. , if one day Ascendas Group picks up the ty-22 drone again, it will more or less support one or two.
Although the current head of the headquarters remembers the words of the old head of the headquarters, at that time, all domestic reforms were at a critical juncture, and all kinds of things were complicated. It can be said that the head of the headquarters who just took office was so busy that he did not even have room to occupy the space. It was too late for the Group to take off on the plane. There is no news about the restart of the ty-22 drone. It is just a drone, and it is still a failure. The head of the headquarters forgot about it after two visits.
¡°If it weren¡¯t for today¡¯s sight of a vertical take-off and landing demonstration aircraft with a semi-flying wing layout, it would be difficult for the head of the headquarters to remember that China Ascendas still has the TY-22 UAV.
After listening to the cause and effect, the military leaders looked at the vertical take-off and landing demonstration aircraft in front of them that was somewhat similar to the YF-23. Why didn't they understand the reason?
If China Takeoff did not have the technical accumulation and experience summary of the flying-wing aerodynamic layout behind it, it would not be able to build the vertical take-off and landing demonstration aircraft in front of it. The reason is very simple. This kind of aircraft is not about technology and talent, but the most important thing. The most valuable experience.
But China¡¯s take-off has actually been achieved. What does this mean?
The TY-22 UAV that was rejected back then was not thrown away at all. Instead of being thrown away, it has been flying for more than ten years.We have devoted ourselves to research in this area, and the vertical take-off and landing verification machine in front of us is the best proof!
"Xiao Zhuang, I didn't expect that China Takeoff has such deep family background" Thinking of this, the military leader turned to Zhuang Jianye, his smile became more intense: "Let me report it carefully, your ty-22 drone How far has it progressed?"
"Reporting to the chief, our ty-22 drone has developed to the fifth generation." Zhuang Jianye replied quickly.
"Oh?" After hearing this, the military leader became interested: "The fifth generation is there a prototype here? Can we see what this drone is like? Do you think the Yankees can say it?" That's like an alien spacecraft."
"There is not one here, but there is one at the test flight site in the factory over there in Xingzhou, but the corner reflector has been removed. If it flies here, it will probably take 3 or 4 hours"
"How far is Xingzhou from here? It's less than 500 kilometers, so why wait for so long? And why are you installing corner reflectors on the drone? Aren't you afraid of being overweight and falling?"
Before Zhuang Jianye could finish his words, the head of the headquarters interrupted him directly, and the barrage of questions made Zhuang Jianye smile bitterly. When the head of the headquarters saw this, he became very angry: "You are still young, get the plane over quickly!"
Zhuang Jianye had no choice but to explain: "It's not that I don't want to do it. Chief, the key is that the air conditions along this route must be reported. Without corner reflectors, the ground radar will not be able to see it at all, unless you order it on a certain military route." Clear it out, otherwise what will happen if there is an aviation accident?"
The head of the headquarters was shocked when he heard this, and immediately looked at the military leader. The military leader's eyes became even more intense, and he said without hesitation: "Make way for a military route, let the ty-22 drone fly over, and let the ty-22 drone fly over." Ground radars will pay close attention and any suspicious targets on this route will be reported immediately."
"Yes!" The officer on the side turned around and went to give orders.
Forty minutes passed quickly, and no report from the air condition radar was received. Instead, an aircraft that looked like an alien from the sky appeared over the airport of the aerospace production and manufacturing base. It was gray in color and had a ferocious shape. As the altitude decreased, it became very small. His true appearance was soon revealed in front of everyone. A commander with an Air Force aviation background saw this scene through a telescope. He stood up from his temporary seat, pointed at the landing ty-22 drone and shouted: "Yes, this is the bomber I envisioned, this is the bomber I envisioned, this is the seed of our bomber"
