Super military empire

The huge list of new equipment manufacturing announced at the meeting allowed the people of the Ninth Institute to sort out all the work they are currently facing, and even everyone knows how much research pressure the Ninth Institute will face in the future.

From army equipment to air force equipment, there are a series of things. Moreover, it is not only the Ninth Academy that can be undertaken independently, but also needs to cooperate with other relevant domestic units.

Regardless of Li Yunlong, the commander of the Blue Army, the directors of the management committee of the Ninth Institute, and even the high-level military, the same is true. After this list was listed, it was discovered that the Ninth Institute had developed into Even they didn’t even think that the Ninth Institute involved so many projects.

Not only the manufacture of weapons and equipment, but also the development and application research of supporting ammunition and other related top technologies.

Even so, the Ninth Academy is unable to undertake all military projects, and the large aircraft is the most obvious.

Military transport aircraft is the top priority.

The formation of the Blue Army requires a large number of military transport aircraft, mainly for quickly mobilizing troops and transporting various equipment and materials.

In this regard, the Republic’s largest military transport aircraft currently in service -8 cannot be satisfied.

"Y-8 is definitely not good. Our troops, although the main task is to inspect the various troops and act as a third party in the exercise, the most important thing to do is to support the border and quickly deploy to the border when the enemy invades for investigation. Special operations, etc..." Regarding Li Yunlong's wish to equip several Yun-8s at the beginning, Liu Yijiu shook his head and refused.

The equipment of the Blue Army is really a big problem.

The Yun-8 is a medium-sized four-engine turboprop multi-purpose transport aircraft designed as a prototype of the An-12.The first flight was successful at the end of 1974, and the design was finalized in 1981 and transferred to small batch production. For China, this is a relatively advanced military transport aircraft.

After all, it didn't take long for it to be successfully developed.

"Twenty tons of carrying capacity, I think it is quite enough. After all, we can't really use airplanes to transport heavy equipment, at least in the last ten or twenty years. It only needs to be used to airdrop troops and transport materials. ..." Li Yunlong knew that Liu Yijiu felt that Yun-8 was too backward, but this is the most advanced one in China."You can't choose to transport ten for military transport missions, right? There is no problem with placing troops, what about equipment?"

Military transport aircraft generally require a wide body.

"Director, although this thing has a carrying capacity of 20 tons, it can transport nearly a hundred soldiers at a time, even if we are in the most central area of ​​the country, do you think that at the speed of a turboprop, the fastest can fly? It is 662 kilometers per hour and the cruising speed is only 550 kilometers. How long will it take to get from Chengdu to the northeast? How much does it take to get to the northwest? How about the south?"

When Liu Yijiu said this, the corners of his mouth were always twitching.

Used as a military transport aircraft, the carrying capacity and transportation cost, and the range can even meet the requirements, but it does not meet the development direction of the rapid deployment force required by the Blue Army.

"Then what do you want to do! Yun-9 has been dismantled a long time ago, and only Yun-8 is the most advanced in China..." As a former logistics minister, Li Yunlong has a clear understanding of domestic large-scale equipment."The Yun-8 is not even as good as your Yun-10. Or, let's equip three modified Yun-10 first?"

"If there is really no way, it can only be this way." Liu Yijiu felt that he was about to cry.

Yunshi was originally a civilian airliner, but now it’s changed to a military aircraft. Although the performance is barely suitable for use and it can transport a reinforced company, it is a narrow-body airliner. No big congress in the entire world does it like this. It's really shameful.

"Well, let me talk to the 603 Institute first and ask them if they are interested in picking up the previous Yun-9 project. If they want, they can cooperate and communicate with our Yun-10 team... "Liu Yijiu is still very interested in Yun-9.

Although that project was a ridiculous mistake at the time, in the absence of experience and foundation, the Air Force put forward a world-class performance index for the Yun-9 project: the ability to transport two pieces with an average weight of 120 kg. A reinforced company with 350 people, a total of 42 tons, a range of 8,000 kilometers, a cruising speed of 800 kilometers per hour...

In 1970, the Sixth Academy of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission officially issued the task, and the 603 Institute designed Yun-9, and the program demonstration began.The aircraft has a maximum take-off weight of 228 tons, a maximum effective load of 42 tons, and a fuel weight of 85.5 tons. The power plant is planned to be equipped with 4 910-A (turbofan 6-A) engines.

At that time, the turbofan 6 project did not progress, and coupled with no experience, the project could not go on just in the demonstration of the plan.

"Yun-9? That's impossible!" Li Yunlong heard Liu Yijiu's thoughts and couldn't help shaking his head.

Not only him, but also Wang Shunyi and others, felt impossible.

The Republic has just broken through even the large-scale transport aircraft of one hundred tons.

"That was before, without any foundation. Now as long as the hydraulic press can be made, I think there should not be too much difference on the Erzhong side. Now start the design, and wait until the 60,000-ton hydraulic press is made. The strength can be reached..." The Ninth Institute now has the turbofan-8 and has started the development of the turbofan-10. With four turbofan-8s, the problem should not be too big.

Moreover, it has not been a few years since the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

Li Yunlong didn't have much opinion on equipment.

For him, as long as he helps Liu Yijiu to realize his ideas, so that people don't take the development direction of the Blues away.

Just like other equipment, Liu Yijiu will do it himself.

The Daba Mountain base, in this hot June, has become more heated than before. Except for the longest working hours stipulated by Liu Yijiu, the rest of the base is basically in name only for the sake of technology. With rapid development, the supervisory department of the Ninth People's Court is too lazy to make trouble.

After assembling the prototype from Yunshi, Ma Fengshan has been leading the team to improve the design of Yunshi. Although this aircraft has a maximum take-off weight of 110 tons, it is not advanced enough. It has a longer range and better performance than international ones. Advanced transport planes are far from being transported.

They need to use the technical experience accumulated during the design and manufacturing process of the Yun-10 aircraft to challenge the wide-body passenger aircraft.

After coming out of the base, Liu Yijiu first looked for Ma Fengshan.

Now the entire Yunshi team has been brought here by Liu Yijiu. There is only an empty shell left at the Shanghai Stock Exchange Aircraft Factory. Negotiations with McDonnell Douglas are still in progress. Of course, for the external announcement, the design is currently being demonstrated. New plan.

"Director Liu, why did you come to our side specially when you have time?" Ma Fengshan couldn't help but run out of funds as before. Basically all the time was spent on design work.

Yunshi was favored by Liu Yijiu, but it was not approved by the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

Now the entire Yunshi team is working hard, hoping to improve the design faster and launch a new generation of models.

When Liu Yijiu found Ma Fengshan, he was discussing with a group of technicians about the improvement of Yunshi in the design room.

Seeing Director Liu coming, others greeted him in a hurry. Ma Fengshan thought Liu Yijiu was looking for him alone, and he was going to go out with Liu Yijiu to talk about it alone in his office. Liu Yijiu shook his head and came over. The chair said to him and other technicians: "Talk about our new aircraft. At present, the Blue Army has gradually. There will be a dedicated transport plane, but there is no suitable large military transport plane..."

"Director Liu, we are a civil aviation passenger plane, Yunshi is not suitable for military transport aircraft!" Everyone thought that Liu Yijiu's idea was to make Yunshi a military transport aircraft.

"No, I don't want to transport ten to be a military transport aircraft. The narrow-body aircraft is not suitable for military transport aircraft... I hope that our next generation aircraft design can start now..." Liu Yijiu said of his own purpose.

With only 178 seats, Yunshi still has an economic layout.

If you want to achieve the goal of approaching 290 seats, you must start to consider the wide-body design.

Ma Fengshan's team has already begun to demonstrate this aspect, and the design work has already begun, but the progress is not very large.

"Director Liu, our own strength is simply not enough, especially to improve Yun Ten..." Ma Fengshan shrugged helplessly, and said to Liu Yijiu embarrassedly.

"603! We cooperated with them. Originally, they demonstrated that Yunjiu had no engine but had to dismount because of the technical difficulty. However, the performance parameters of Yunjiu are still more suitable for our current requirements..." Liu Yi Jiu introduced his thoughts.

The Blue Army needs an aircraft with a maximum carrying capacity of more than 45 tons!

This also puts forward higher requirements for the aircraft design team-the take-off weight of the aircraft needs to exceed 220 tons, which is directly double the number of transportation, and the technical difficulty is several times higher.

"This kind of work cannot be done by a team of us. There should be no problem with cooperation with 603, but there shouldn't be much possibility to make a breakthrough in a while..." After listening to Liu Yijiu's introduction, Mr. Said to Liu Yijiu beamingly.

He has always hoped that the Ninth Institute can cooperate with all domestic units.

This way they will have much less work.

"The 200-ton aircraft will be our new starting point." Liu Yijiu agreed with Ma Fengshan's attitude.
