Chapter 1018: Can also be a transport plane

Standing in front of this huge aerial tanker, almost everyone will feel their own insignificance. After all, this is a masterpiece of human aviation. Qin Guan still feels like he is dreaming now, and he actually got such a good thing from the kingdom of peace. .
There are not many crew members. For such a huge aerial tanker, the crew only includes two pilots, flight engineers, and a refueling operator, and the refueling operator is a hard tube refueling. Now it only uses hoses to refuel, so only Three people are required to operate it.
It's just that these crew members are all from the Shabbat.
The modification of any kind of aircraft takes time. It does not mean that a pilot can fly any aircraft.
When the Tomcat was introduced last time, the two parties had reached a tacit agreement. When the equipment of the Shah was sold to Han, they would also send some personnel to teach the Han people how to fly and operate before they left. .
At the beginning, Grumman wanted to make money by training pilots in Han, but it didn't find anything.
Now, this kind of large aircraft has a high degree of automation, and it will take three months for the pilots of Han to master it, so the current flight is still operated by the pilots of the Parthian nation.
"Thank you for coming to our country with great international friendship and helping us accelerate the modernization of the Air Force." Qin Guan said to several people.
After the translation by the scholar, several people shook hands with Qin Guan and responded: "If there were no weapons provided by Han, then our current war would definitely be more difficult. We should do this now."
For the Parthian nation, almost Han's weapons are the only ones. It is difficult for them to obtain weapons and equipment from other countries. Without those tanks, they would not know how many talents would die.
They did this with gratitude.
"Please go up and have a look." Captain Hades said enthusiastically.
This tanker is quite huge. Now, going up the gangway, you can see that the front cab is wide, and the back of the cab is even more comfortable.
There are three crew members in the cab. The chief and co-pilot sits in the front and the crew engineer sits in the back. At the rear of the cab, there is a special rest space.
Here, you can see that there are 6 seats and 4 sleeping berths. During a long-distance flight, you can sleep beautifully in the back. Don't mention how comfortable it is.
"It seems that for this visit, let's take this plane directly." Qin Guan couldn't help but said.
When going to Baiyin Country this time, they must make up their minds to buy, so Qin Guan must go with him, and there must be a few people accompanying him, so it is most suitable to sit in the back.
"President Qin, you can come with enough people. If there are not enough seats here, the main cabin at the back can also carry cargo and 75 passengers." Hades said.
The cargo compartments of Han's transport aircraft are not pressurized, so passengers cannot be transported. If transported, they cannot fly high. Otherwise, the air is thin and the passengers inside will die due to lack of oxygen. All are to increase the cockpit, and it’s okay to sit on people.
"It doesn't need to be too many, plus the necessary ground handling, a dozen is enough," Qin Guan said.
If you only bring a few entourages, those six seats are enough, but if you go to Baiyin Country to perform this time, you must bring some technicians.
By the way, you have to bring two anti-ship missiles! Perform a target shooting in front of the guests of Silver Country, let them see the power of their weapons.
And I took that sports car. It was a precious gift. Of course, it was given to the commander of the air force. That gift can't stay with me forever.
Chen Rui also came up, looking at the large space inside, and exclaimed: "Brother-in-law, I see that the warehouse is so large, our flying leopard has removed its wings and vertical tail, and it can definitely be stuffed in."
When Chen Rui said this, Qin Guan's eyelids instantly jumped. Yeah, why didn't he think of it?
The long-distance flight of tens of thousands of kilometers is quite difficult. In this large tanker, you can relax, drink a drink, and chat.
But Chen Rui, who was flying alone behind him, couldn't do it. He had to survive this long ten hours with diapers, which was a great test of his physical strength.
It would be really a good idea if it could be opened into the cargo box of this tanker!
After the fighter plane is manufactured, there are two ways to deliver it to the customer. One is to fly directly, and the other is to disassemble the wings and stuff it into the transport plane for transportation.
After Chen Rui finished speaking, he immediately regretted: "No, it definitely won't work."
If it's stuffed in, what would you fly? I have never flew such a long distance before! He was still waiting for this long flight. He would rather complete this challenge without diapers. What did he just talk about?
"Okay, let's prepare for a refueling test flight in the air." Chen Rui walked out and said.
Everyone walked down and stood on the runway waiting.
The first to take off was the KC-10. Because it was a test flight, it was only loaded with ten tons of fuel. The fuselage was very light. Three powerful engines were roaring, pushing the aerial tanker off the runway and flying into the sky. .
After it took off, Chen Rui climbed into the cockpit. He watched the radar officer at the back step into the cockpit together and said, "Today we are going to find a nanny."
Chen Rui did not have the slightest psychological pressure.
The two turbofan nine engines at the tail of the Flying Leopard roared and pushed the fighter plane to roll on the runway. In the eyes of everyone, it flew briskly into the blue sky.
"Old Chen, what do you think of the plan for stuffing this plane into a tanker for transportation?" Qin Guan asked Old Chen who was aside.
In the past, Qin Guan thought that the entire fuselage of the aerial tanker was full of fuel, but now he discovered that there was still a huge space inside, which could be operated as a transport plane.
In that case, why not just stuff it in and fly over?
Old Chen shook his head helplessly: "If you can remove the wings and stuff it in, it would be the best, but, Mr. Qin, it is the foundation of a passenger plane after all!"
Flying Leopard flew for more than ten hours at a time, tens of thousands of kilometers in the past, Chen Lao also had no idea, if something unexpected happened in the middle, it would affect the reputation of Flying Leopard.
However, it would be unrealistic to use this aircraft for transportation.
Although its cargo compartment is large, it is the foundation of a passenger aircraft. Compared with specialized transport aircraft, it does not have the wide downturn hatch at the rear.
In other words, the flying leopard can't be installed, can it be by crane? What if I cause damage to the aircraft body?
Old Chen said his worries, so Qin Guan could only give up.
