Chapter 1308: AWACS team

Chen Rui took Wang Wei, and the two walked into the dormitory together. Sure enough, one person was already there with an aeronautical chart in his hand. When they saw the two, the other party put down the aeronautical chart: "My name is Sun Tian, ​​and I am glad to meet you. Ghost, you are a myth in our pilot team."
"It's all for the motherland." Chen Rui said, "What are you studying?"
He looked at the large-scale aeronautical chart and marked everything around him clearly, including those from nearby countries.
"Study the airspace here." Sun Tian said: "We pilots, the first time we came here, we were carrying landmarks."
"No need to study, let's fly in this big place, just take off and land, nothing else." Wang Wei said.
There is no need to engage in combat training or anything. When you fly up, you should land at the cruising altitude. Almost the entire base is within visual range and you don’t need to back landmarks.
Sun Tian's heart sighed. In this case, his plan would be difficult to implement. After all, he wants to fly so far, and the plane must be full of fuel. For takeoff and landing training like this every day, half of the fuel is enough. Yes, for that little fuel, he had to fly at a very low altitude in order to avoid the radar, so he would definitely crash at sea.
No, I have to find a way to find opportunities!
He thought secretly in his heart that the three thousand taels of gold dangled in front of his eyes from time to time, and he was already itching.
As the night gradually led, when the entire base was in darkness, a group of people surrounded the base in a newly built hangar.
"Mr Qin, this early warning aircraft is very special!" Some of these experts are old and some are very young. After all, as the early warning aircraft research and development team, they need young blood.
At present, 114 domestic institutes have become the leader in the development of airborne radars. They have successively implemented a number of airborne radar solutions and are striving to move towards the phased array radar system.
The burden on their shoulders is already very heavy, so the early warning aircraft project that Qin Guan has been pushing hard has been carefully considered by the superiors and handed over to the 338 Institute of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, led by Mr. Wang Mo.
They and the 114 Institute worked together to realize the phased array system for the first early warning aircraft. This is a huge challenge as well as a huge opportunity.
Wang Lao is the first to propose a new early warning aircraft engineering plan based on a two-dimensional active phased array system with a three-sided array carrying a cover. This plan has become the design plan for the current Yun-10 early warning aircraft.
The early warning aircraft cannot be achieved overnight, and it is in the stage of tackling key problems. Now, after Qin Guan exchanges the An-71 early warning aircraft, he naturally can't sit idle, and simply let his experts study it.
Mr. Wang Mo is an old comrade. In 1961, he graduated from the Capital University of Technology and entered 114 schools. Later, the state ordered the transfer to the third line. The eight or nine hundred people who went out together formed a new research institute-the 338th Research Institute of the Ministry of Electronics Industry in the third-tier mountainous cities.
After receiving the task of developing an early-warning aircraft, Mr. Wang felt a great responsibility and led the research institute to study hard. Now, when he learned that there was an early-warning aircraft secretly obtained from abroad, Mr. Wang immediately led the team.
Now, everyone is looking at this early warning aircraft. Compared with our own, the biggest difference is that the large plate is installed on the tail and installed on the vertical tail. It is simply the only one.
Qin nodded his opinion: "This time I am calling everyone to visit and learn more about the development trends of early warning aircraft at home and abroad. Our country has already opened, and we don't need to always close the door for research. We can also broaden our horizons. "
"Yes, President Qin, this layout method also has some advantages. For example, it can effectively reduce the occlusion of the fuselage and wings and facilitate the layout. The main thing is the impact on the aerodynamic layout and the issue of how to coordinate." Elder Wang said.
This large plate is usually placed on the fuselage. The ordinary aluminum alloy fuselage will block the transmission of electromagnetic waves. Therefore, this part needs to be replaced with composite materials. This is also one of the people in the development. The problem, now, if it is placed on the vertical tail, the occlusion underneath is greatly reduced.
No matter what the layout, it will have an impact on the aerodynamics. Now, it is to see how to reduce this impact.
In fact, there is still another problem that Wang Lao did not see. The high vertical tail on top of a large plate has far exceeded the height of the hangar. This means that this early warning aircraft can even be carried on board. , Can only be placed on the deck, and cannot enter the hangar at all.
Look at the contemporary E-2, it has four vertical tails, not very high, and the large plate can be lowered in height so that it can be stuffed into the hangar.
Which method is better, Qin Guan can't decide, after all, this thing is too professional.
"President Qin, if we can test fly it, that would be great." Mr. Wang said as he entered the cabin.
When to fly?
It must be inappropriate at night. After all, the night light is poor, which is not conducive to flying. Experienced veterans have to go through how many trainings to master night flight skills. This kind of aircraft that has never been in contact with it will naturally fly a lot. It’s difficult, what if you fall?
If you want to fly, you can only fly during the day. If you visit here, you can only watch the flowers. You must fly to the sky to determine the performance of this early warning aircraft.
"This can be done. After we find a pilot who can fly this transport aircraft, we will find a chance to fly."
When there are no reconnaissance satellites flying in the sky, you can conduct a test flight. The first is to ensure safety. After all, these are the best technical experts in the country, so you can't let them suffer any loss.
Because the early warning aircraft crashed, most of the electronic technology experts were lost, and the entire project was even discontinued. In the research and development of the early warning aircraft, it appeared more than once. Qin Guan knew the dangers and had to be more careful. .
The internal space is extremely small. You can see that the flight seats are placed sideways. On the side, there is the sky blue operating system. The round radar screen is convex outwards, and you can see the backward Xiong Country equipment. .
That’s right, in everyone’s eyes, these are all lagging behind. In the past few years, the progress of domestic electronic technology is obvious to all. Apart from anything else, at least the self-developed early warning aircraft must use liquid crystal displays, which are clear and intuitive. , Belongs to the most advanced display mode, not glaring.
"Find a chance, let's take a test flight." Mr. Wang sat in a chair and looked at the instrument in front. The label on it was still in bear country characters. Only by test flight can we confirm the performance of this aircraft. It should be the best to start research.
