Take Off My Aviation Era

It is under such circumstances that after receiving the tender notice from the Air Force headquarters about the aerial tanker, Ascendas Group did not choose to be a passer-by. Instead, it carefully prepared and steadily advanced, and then followed the list of aerial tankers that seemed to be a foregone conclusion. Tear off a piece of meat.

If this were placed a few years ago, Ascendas Group might have been a bit self-conscious, but in the 1990s, Ascendas Group, which had already completed industrial upgrading, could completely crush the past with its strength.

The Northwest Aviation Plant, which was supposed to be stable, was really caught off guard by the Ascendas Group. Seeing that its own bombing 6 orders were about to be cut, the leaders of the Northwest Aviation Plant were in a hurry, and they led people to the Air Force headquarters. I beg my grandpa to tell my grandmother that the Air Force will never cut the list of bombing oil 6.

The leader of the Air Force did not argue with the leader of the Northwest Aviation Plant. Instead, he took out a copy of the air force test data from the desk of the oil -15: "Look, if your bombardment 6 can achieve this indicator, I’ll give you the Air Force list."

The leaders of the Northwest Aviation Plant took a look at it and were immediately dumbfounded.

Aircraft captain: 36.2 meters; height: 10.3 meters; wingspan: 34.6 meters

The maximum take-off weight is 65.8 tons, the empty weight is 25.1 tons, the fuel carrying capacity is 17.2 tons, and the maximum load is 23.5 tons.

Under normal circumstances, Oil-15 can carry about 30 tons of aviation fuel and provide about 18 tons of fuel for various aircraft. At this time, Oil-15 is not just an aerial refueling machine. The vacant part can also be transformed into a temporary command post, relying on the transportation of oil-15 complete electronic navigation equipment to become the air command center or relay guidance of various communications.

It can even carry other materials and personnel to perform other tasks besides air refueling.

In this state, the operational radius of Yun's Oil-15 has reached 2,200 kilometers.

If long-distance air refueling is required, the internal command and communication module can be disassembled to transport oil-15, so that an aviation fuel storage tank is added to the internal cabin. In this state, the aviation fuel carrying capacity of oil-15 will be close 40 tons, on the basis of this 3000 km combat radius, it can provide up to 22 tons of fuel supply for combat aircraft.

Of course, this value is not always constant, but is adjusted according to the specific situation of the task.

For example, combat aircraft need to refuel in the air 4000 kilometers away, otherwise they cannot return to the base.

At this time, the oil -15 index will be adjusted to a combat radius of 4000 kilometers, but the fuel supply will drop to 12 tons.

Of course, even if you don’t perform aerial refueling missions, Yun's Oil-15 is still a medium-sized transport aircraft with excellent performance. Its internal cargo warehouse is 12.7 meters long, 3.4 meters wide and 2.8 meters high.

This volume can not only fit most of the Army's light combat vehicles, but also can easily carry a Type 63 amphibious tank for rapid forward deployment.

Not only that, the large volume can also carry the ZB-666 "Air Pickup" and ZB-MAK helicopters produced by Ascendas Group, and even the S-70 "Black Hawk" helicopter equipped by the Army Air Force is removing the main and auxiliary propellers. After that, it can be easily stuffed into the large cabin of 15 oil.

In addition to equipment, the Yun'an Oil-15 can also carry 80 fully armed soldiers or 66 paratroopers, and even 36 stretchers can be fixed when necessary, as a transport aircraft for the wounded.

In other words, in addition to refueling in the air, Yun'Ou-15 is also a good player in transport aircraft, and it is really a multi-functional aircraft to the extreme.

On the other hand, Hyou-6 looks modified from H6. In fact, the internal equipment and operating mechanism are quite different from H6. Except for a shell, it is already insulated from H6. You-6 can only stay in the base when it is not performing aerial refueling missions, and can't do what it is doing and throw bombs on others.

In such a comparison, the bombardment 6 and the Yunyu-15 can be judged instantly, and the Yunyu-15 can be used as a pure transport aircraft when it does not undertake air refueling, enhancing the strategic mobility and forward deployment capabilities of the troops. When you need to refuel in the air, you can fly into the sky by installing the internal aviation fuel tank module and the air refueling device, happily serving as a nurse for various aircraft.

As a result, Yun\Yu-15 does not know how many streets in terms of mission flexibility and operating cost.

After all, the domestic air force's demand for air refueling at this time is not high. It will take several years for the third-generation aircraft fleet to expand and initial results of both offensive and defensive operations. In this transitional stage, professional air refueling The machine is obviously not as cost-effective as a multi-tasking machine with multiple functions.

What's more, the performance of \\Oil-15 does not have to be worse than the fuel. The maximum take-off weight is 65.8 tons, and the maximum fuel load is 37 tons, which can provide 22 tons of fuel supply.

The bombardment 6 has a maximum take-off weight of 78 tons and a maximum fuel load of 37 tons, but it can only provide 18.5 tons of fuel supply.

The take-off weight is 10 tons larger than that of Yun\Oil-15. Not to mention that the fuel capacity is the same. The maximum fuel replenishment is less than Yun\Oil-15. Regardless of the other factors, it is only from this key indicator of air refueling. Look, bombing oil 6 is really unreasonable.

But this is not where the leaders of the Northwest Aviation Plant feel desperate. The multi-tasking ability is poor, so just increase, and the task flexibility is not enough. Why is it difficult to tackle key problems in this area?

These are nothing to Northwest Aviation Plant. After all, they are large factories that produce classic aircraft such as Yun-7, Yun-8, H-6, FB-7, etc. It is just a question of ideas. Northwest Aviation Plant lacks a change in thinking. Courage?

Not lacking, but they lacked a heart enough to make their aircraft surging.

Yes, the important reason that prevented the leaders of Northwest Aviation Plant from talking about competing with Ascendas Group was the aero engine.

Why does Houyou 6 carry 37 tons of fuel ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but it can only provide 18.5 tons of replenishment fuel at most, is Houyou 6 do not want to give more?

It's not that the turbojet 8 engine equipped with the Houyou 6 is not powerful. In addition to the larger thrust, it is a mess in terms of maintainability and fuel economy. Especially in terms of fuel economy, it can be called a tiger. If it is not equipped in the fuel tank With enough fuel, it’s hard to say whether the bombardment 6 can come back in full.

In contrast, although Yun'you-15 is equipped with four engines, which seems to be twice as much as the Houyou 6, the comprehensive fuel performance of the four engines is much better than that of the Houyou 6 turbojet 8. According to the comprehensive test results of the Air Force, the comprehensive fuel consumption of the four engines of Yun'Yu-15 is 36.4% lower than that of the two engines.

This was obtained under the condition of transporting oil-15 at a maximum speed of 842 km/h. If at a cruising speed of 720 km/h and at an altitude of 11000 meters, transporting oil-15 combined fuel Consumption will be further reduced, and can even reach half of bombardment 6.

No way, the latest WD-52ML turbofan engine launched by Ascendas Group focuses on fuel economy. How can the Northwest Aviation Plant, which has been using the old model for 20 or 30 years, compare?
