Chapter 1017: so big

Lin Xiaoxia?
Chen Rui searched hard in his mind. This name is so familiar, where did he seem to have seen it?
"Hey." Qin Guan was hit on his head: "You kid, even Xiaoxia has forgotten? She is the girl from the art troupe."
Art Troupe? Chen Rui finally remembered, rubbing his head, and said, "Brother-in-law, you can't hit me on the head. You beat me stupid. How can I fly?"
"Hmph, your kid is stupid now, I have to beat you smart."
"Oh, brother-in-law, I'm really smart about your fight. I remembered it. However, if I just test flight such a subject, how can I have a half-month holiday? Don't you give me special? There are many flight test missions." Chen Rui said to Qin Guan.
In Chen Rui's eyes, it was just a matter of heaven. There were several dockings, and it was really enough to add oil once. Is it enough to give himself half a month's leave? I can’t touch the joystick for a day and I feel itchy and uncomfortable. How can I leave it for half a month?
"After the test flight is over, we will fly a long-distance mission directly to Silver Nation, with three refueling in the middle, the same is true for returning, how about? Are you willing? If you go, you will have half a month to come back. Fake, find Lin Xiaoxia for me. If you don’t want to, then I’ll find someone else. Our country has a large number of test pilots, and you are not the only one."
Hearing what Qin Guan said, Chen Rui did not hesitate: "Yes, yes!"
This mission is very desirable, flying half of the earth, to the silver country, this kind of flying challenge has never been seen before, but this is the first attempt.
Must try.
Qin watched his expression and knew that he would definitely not refuse.
You didn't go back during the New Year. Look at your parents. You were waiting to hold your grandson a long time ago. When you came back this time, I tried to get the marriage certificate from Lin Xiaoxia! Then just give Lin Xiaoxia a family member with the army, and strive to let the Chen family hold a grandson by the end of the year.
Qin Guan felt that there were so many nostalgic things that he was in charge of, but his brother-in-law, would it work? There will be so many brother-in-laws in later generations, plus Fu Di Mo's sister, I'm already pretty good.
The negotiation has been settled, and it is an immediate action.
The first is to open a mouth on the flying leopard's body. Its body structure has long been determined. Now that an aerial refueling device needs to be temporarily added, it needs to be re-adjusted.
The fuel tank is in the middle of the fuselage, but the aerial refueling pipe must be on the nose. The pilot can clearly see it from the right side of the line of sight, otherwise the docking will be impossible to talk about. It is completely technical.
In this way, the refueling pipeline has to be arranged.
If it is a previous fighter, it would be troublesome to work on the actual aircraft, but the Flying Leopard is the first aircraft to adopt computer-aided design. Its design is paperless, and it is designed and assembled by computer. At that time, the wooden prototype was not used, and the simulation assembly was carried out directly through the computer. This is the trend of military aircraft design.
Unfortunately, due to the limitations of processing equipment, although the design is carried out on the computer, it cannot be directly produced in the factory. It is also necessary to convert the three-dimensional design on the computer into a two-dimensional drawing, and then print it and submit it to the factory for production.
There are not enough CNC equipment in the 1172 factory.
And now, to install an aerial refueling pipe, first operate it on the computer. Mr. Chen was on the side to instruct. A skilled technician operated the keyboard and mouse and quickly moved several devices on the right side of the nose. Open, leaving plenty of space, which can actually satisfy the requirement to put down the folded aerial refueling pipe!
After tossing all morning, the modification plan was determined. The efficiency is quite high. If the previous plan is adopted, this design will probably take a week!
In the afternoon, a set of aerial refueling equipment was transported to Factory 1172. Everyone entered the workshop and modified a new FH-7 that was just ready to leave the factory.
The original equipment was moved, all kinds of fixed equipment were ready, the side of the nose opened, and the vertical partitions were cleverly avoided. When late at night, this set of fueling equipment was finally installed in place.
"The next main task is to test flight." Old Chen said with red eyes: "This is our first test flight. We must plan carefully and there can be no mistakes."
Everyone is aware of the dangers of aerial refueling. The distance between aerial refueling aircraft and receiving aircraft is very close. A slight error may cause the two aircraft to collide and cause a terrible accident.
This mainly depends on the technology of the receiver, the aerial tanker just flies steadily in the sky.
"Where is Chen Rui?"
Someone asked.
"In order to maintain good physical strength, Chen Rui has already taken a rest."
Hearing this, everyone became relaxed. Chen Rui was not nervous. Why was everyone nervous? Everyone knows Chen Rui's flying skills.
The next day, the sky was clear, and the modified Flying Leopard fighter had arrived at the Flight Test Institute. Due to the danger of the flight test mission, it was most appropriate for the Flight Test Institute to coordinate as a whole.
Under the coordination of Qin Guan, the KC-10 aerial tanker has also landed in the flight test institute, and its arrival has attracted a lot of attention.
This is a giant airplane. Its tall body dwarfs the Boeing 747 parked beside it.
This kind of KC-10 tanker is developed on the basis of the DC-10 passenger aircraft, most of which are general purpose, but equipped with military avionics and satellite communication equipment, as well as advanced aerial refueling flying booms produced by McDonnell Douglas , Cone hose refueling system, and add a refueling system operator and his own aerial refueling pipe.
It can refuel the Eagle Nation’s navy and air force, and when imported into the Shah, because there is no hard tube refueling technology, only the cone sleeve hose refueling system is retained.
Its fuel storage capacity is huge. In addition to the original three wing main fuel tanks of the DC-10 passenger aircraft, in the original cargo compartment of the lower half of the fuselage, an additional seven unpressurized integrated ones were installed. The formed fuel tanks are 3 in the front of the wing and 4 in the rear. The fuel tanks are lined with impact energy absorbing materials to improve safety.
This adds a lot of fuel, and the maximum fuel load is 161 tons, nearly twice that of KC-135. In addition, the 53,000 kg of fuel in the engine room is connected to the 108,000 kg of fuel in the main fuel system, which can be used for personal use or for external refueling.
This has not yet played out its full advantages, because it still has unused upper cargo space, that is to say, it can still be used as a transport aircraft.
The cargo hold has a maximum cargo capacity of 76,843 kg, which can be loaded into 27 cargo pallets or 75 additional personnel.
It can be said that its arrival made the Han National Air Force even more powerful, and it was full of gratitude to Qin Guan. Now that Qin Guan said that he would borrow one, the Air Force was unambiguous and let this one fly in immediately.
After all, with aerial refueling machines, the Air Force is about to start training in aerial refueling. It is normal to break through this refueling technology first.
"It's so big." Looking at the aerial tanker, Chen Rui couldn't help but let out a sigh.
