Chapter 2063: Tu-144 passenger plane pit

In the world, there are two types of airplanes of this type, one is Concorde and the other is Tu-144.
The biggest feature of this kind of airliner is fast, because they are the only two supersonic airliners in the world. Of course, if you look at it from the appearance, you can also call one, because the two look like a model. Expanded out.
What is the development trend of passenger aircraft? Fuel-efficient, low-cost, high maintainability, and the most important thing is safety, but almost none of this aircraft is used.
The Concorde airliner that year was jointly developed by Niu Country and Ji Country. After entering the supersonic field, almost many aerospace designers have a perverted pursuit of higher speed. Under this pursuit, Concord The passenger plane appeared. The speed of this passenger plane exceeded Mach 2, which also brought time gains. The previous passenger plane flew from Ji Country to Eagle Country, across the entire Daxi Ocean, requiring a long flight of 8 hours. , And using the Concorde airliner, this time was shortened to 3.5 hours, which is like after the development of high-speed rail technology, travel is more convenient and faster
Moreover, because it is at a higher altitude, this aircraft will not be affected by bad weather. It has reached the stratosphere and can fly quite comfortably. On the passenger aircraft, there is also a speed display to tell passengers The speed is faster than the sound.
The operation of the Concorde has always been very stable. After all, some passengers need time, but the Tu-144 is different.
When this kind of passenger plane appeared, the people of Jiguo were very angry because they thought that Xiongguo stole their technology. Of course, this is not appropriate, just like a sofa with four wheels can be called a car. , Wings and engines can be called airplanes, all airplanes are plagiarizing the original technology?
Even if the appearance of the two aircraft is similar, it can be said to be used for reference. If it is completely plagiarized, it is not appropriate. Although Xiong Guoren is good at imitating Western weapons, it is not a complete imitation, at least, their quality is worse!
This can be fully reflected in Figure-144.
The military industry in Xiong’s country is very developed, but civil aviation is no longer good. It’s like the original Tu-114 passenger plane. The bomber was brought over directly, with a single wing and a huge propeller. Speaking of long range and high passenger capacity, the comfort is definitely not good, and the terrible long gangway when getting off the plane is uncomfortable.
When it comes to the Tu-144 passenger plane, this is a nightmare.
The development of this kind of passenger plane started in 1962, but it was not going well. By 1973, when I participated in the Air Show of Ji Guo, it was clear that he was going to crash the field. Ji Guo people looked at this plane and it was absolutely unhappy. , Clearly is plagiarizing their Concorde airliner.
As a result, it seemed to be cursed. The Tu-144 passenger plane performed a flight demonstration at the scene. After the last pass, during the climb, it suddenly turned into a violent dive, and then the plane disintegrated in the air, causing a terrible flight. During the disaster, 6 crew members on board and 8 people on the ground were killed. What's more, the random Tu-144 chief designer Vladimir Liangerov was also killed.
This dealt a major blow to the entire design team, and it lasted for several years before the Tu-144 passenger plane began to enter the cargo field, and in 1977 it began to perform passenger transport tasks.
However, only a year later, in 1978, this kind of passenger transport ended and it became a specialized cargo aircraft. Of course, the last Tu-144 was said to have ended its flight in 1987, which happened to be this year. Maybe this kind of plane you see is the last one?
Qin Guan's courage is great. Any difficulty will not hold him back, but now when he sees that he is going to take this kind of plane, Qin Guan feels a chill from the bottom of his heart. I haven't lived enough yet. Well, I don't dare to ride on such an airplane.
"This kind of aircraft is the fastest. It allows us to fly to you in the shortest time. Just apply for a flight route from you. It is now under application. Mr. Qin, you seem to be interested in our passenger aircraft. There is prejudice.
Seeing Qin Guan’s performance, a Xiong country’s air force general said:
We often fly on this kind of airliner. Besides, this kind of airliner is now the latest modification. There is no problem. , It’s just a bit noisy."
The output of Tu-144 is not high. At the beginning, only 9 were manufactured. Later, five Tu-44Ds were manufactured. This aircraft uses the latest engine and has sufficient power, so it is only to open the afterburner during the takeoff and landing phase. , Which greatly increases the range. If you use this kind of aircraft, you can fly over without landing.
If it is a fighter jet flying at supersonic speeds, it must always turn on the afterburner. It is a very serious test for the engine to turn on the afterburner for a long time, and passenger aircraft must not be able to do this.
Concord and Tu-144 are the only ones with afterburners in the field of passenger aircraft. Their afterburners are only used in the take-off phase. The main purpose of this is to save fuel. If afterburners are not used, The flight will be sluggish, unable to reach the cruising speed as quickly as possible.
In normal flight, the engine has sufficient power and can fly at supersonic speed without afterburner, which is the same as the F-22's supersonic cruise.
Now, facing Qin Guan's retreat, the other party is very puzzled. Xiong Guoren has always been very bold. They can blindfold their eyes to show their technology when they land. What can't they do?
Qin Guan continued to shook his head: "No, I will not take it. I suggest that you also take my passenger plane. Our passenger plane is comfortable and generous. If you want to take a supersonic plane, I would rather take a MiG-25. I don't take this kind of plane either."
Qin Guan would never go. At this time, he was not bold at all, because he had no confidence in that kind of airplane. Yes, this kind of airplane was not dropped later, but it doesn't mean it won't. Safety is the most important thing for himself. Qin Guan would rather take the Yun-10 passenger plane when he came. After the merger with Douglas, Qin Guan's current passenger plane continues to improve in quality and is already a fairly mature model.
"In that case, let's meet at the shipbreaking yard." Makarov said. He couldn't wait. Even if it was an aircraft carrier from World War II, it was modified and served until the 1970s, on behalf of The Eagle Country had the level of technology in the 1970s, and they wanted to visit it.
It’s the fastest to take this supersonic airliner. Unfortunately, President Qin is biased against his airliner. This aircraft uses the latest RD361 engine, which is super fuel-efficient and fast. As for safety, it is basically No need to question it.
They all followed the passage to the passenger plane.
