After finishing the work here and seeing off Lao Ba and his party, Qin Tao's trip was considered to be a successful conclusion.

Next, it was supposed to be time to return to Mingzhou Group, but the two pieces of good news that came one after another made him a little tired of dealing with it.

"Our Air Police 600 is about to eject and take off. This is an important moment. The leaders of the Navy will go to the wasteland village base. President Qin should also go there to participate. After all, this early warning aircraft is the result of President Qin's continuous promotion.

, However, Ermao is coming to negotiate the D227 engine production line, and Mr. Qin has to take charge of the overall situation." Xu Zhengyang said with some embarrassment.

From the perspective of Mingzhou Group's interests, Qin Tao definitely needs to stay and discuss the introduction of the engine production line. After all, this is related to future profits. However, Qin Tao is an engineer after all, and he is very interested in various technologies.

He also pushed the Air Police 600 single-handedly. It failed to catch up with the first flight. This ejection took off, but more importantly, it means that this early warning aircraft has the ability to board a ship.

Qin Tao would definitely regret it if he had not participated in this ceremony.

"How about I stay and negotiate with Er Mao?" Zhao Ling said: "After all, I originally worked for Tianjiao Airlines, I am also familiar with aviation technology, and I have a good relationship with Er Mao. As long as Mr. Qin formulates the policies and principles

, I should be able to complete the negotiations."

"Okay." Qin Tao nodded immediately. Zhao Ling, the secretary, is becoming more and more competent. Now she is going to take a big step forward on the road of being her deputy and take charge of her own role.

"This task will be left to you. Even if there are some flaws in the negotiation process, it will be fine. I will leave Zhengyang with you. He has traveled with me many times and has rich experience. He will definitely be able to play a role at critical moments."

Qin Tao said.

"No need, he still has to be your bodyguard, don't you trust my mother?" Zhao Ling said: "I can't grow if I am always under your protection, so just regard this negotiation as an experience for me.

Bar."

"Okay." Qin Tao nodded: "Then come on!"

Zhao Ling nodded, a little excited, she was finally going to be on her own, she was finally going to be a strong woman.

After explaining the general policy to Zhao Ling, Qin Tao left that night. For other groups, the negotiation of this kind of project is very important and needs to be taken seriously, but for the Mingzhou Group, even if the negotiation fails

It doesn't matter if it's gone. This project here in Mingzhou Group plays a role of neither too much nor too much, and it's not absolutely important.

Qin Tao is even more looking forward to the ship-based early warning aircraft. After all, this project is of great importance. After so many years of work, it has finally reached this point.

The development of early warning aircraft cannot be rushed. China has also gone through a long development road. Up to now, the Air Police 2000 has just completed all the test projects and has been officially installed in the army. The Air Police 600 still needs a large number of

time to perfect.

Of course, there is no need to be particularly anxious, after all, the construction of the aircraft carrier will still take several years.

"Taozi, are you here?" When Qin Tao came to the base of Huangdi Village, he was greeted by Wu Shengli. The two men met again. The content of their words was the same as that of La Jiaochang, but the tone of their words was unusual.

.

"Well, here we are, our early warning aircraft is about to eject and take off. How can I not come? The group's affairs are left to Xiaoling to handle. From now on, she can take charge of herself." Qin Tao said.

Wu Shengli nodded.

"Where's the plane?"

"It's still being maintained in the hangar. Come on, let's go over and take a look." Wu Shengli said.

"Is this the only carrier-based fixed-wing early warning aircraft we currently have?"

If it were other aircraft, several would have to be built during the test flight in order to complete a large number of test flight subjects, but the AWACS is different. This thing is too expensive. Even if it is an AWACS aircraft that takes its first flight, it is impossible to fly it after completing the test flight.

If it is scrapped, it will be equipped for military service.

Since the early warning technology used is slightly different from that of the Air Police 2000, the test flight of the electronic equipment of this aircraft needs to last a long time. If the prototype aircraft is also used for the carrier takeoff and landing test, it will be a waste of time, but if another one is built,

If it is built, it will be expensive. What if it needs to be modified midway?

"The finished product is still testing the radar. Now this one only has the body intact, the radome is intact, and the other parts are counterweights, which are used for take-off and landing tests. After the test is completed, the static test will be carried out."

In the research and development steps of an aircraft, static testing is also very critical. This is a test of the strength and life of the aircraft. It will determine whether the aircraft can meet the design goals, how many years it will fly before it will be eliminated, etc.

Of course, after the test is completed, the most intense test will be carried out, and the entire aircraft will be destroyed.

It's just the body, and the engine will have to be dismantled when the time comes, so you won't feel bad even if it breaks.

However, the take-off and landing test was carried out first, and then the static test was carried out. It is estimated that no other company in the world would dare to do this. If it cannot withstand the tension of the catapult and the arresting cable during the first landing, it may break on the spot.

They dare to do this and are confident.

"Mr. Qin, you're finally here!" In the hangar, Duan Yi, who was busy on the plane, saw Qin Tao approaching and immediately ran over: "I heard that your Mingzhou Group is cooperating with Ermao to produce

If the D227 engine can be produced at your place, then we don’t have to worry about engine problems."

During the last assembly, Qin Tao, Wu Shengli and others came to visit and brought up the problem of the engine. At that time, Qin Tao insisted on mapping and imitating it, but it was not that easy. After all, every aero-engine factory in the country had it.

I am very busy with my own projects, not to mention that surveying, mapping and imitation also cost a lot of money.

They were very worried about using only one engine in stock, but now that they heard about cooperation, it seems that there will be no problem.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Well, this project is still under discussion, but we are confident that this aircraft is of great importance and we must mature it."

In addition to early warning aircraft, other anti-submarine patrol aircraft, transport aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, and even future unmanned aerial vehicle remote control aircraft, etc., all need to be modified with the body platform of this aircraft. The Navy alone needs a large number of D227 engines.

Qin Tao said while looking at the nose of the aircraft. The nose of this prototype aircraft still wears a pitot tube, which looks like a carrot head. It looks very unusual. After it is put on the ship, it will definitely be removed and become sleeker.

Failure to do so may pose a dire threat to deck and hangar personnel.

"Mr. Qin, if you can successfully introduce them, then we can also conduct a ski jump test and prepare two for our 001 aircraft carrier."

"What?" Qin Tao just heard that the first ejection flight was going to be carried out. After all, this kind of early warning aircraft was originally prepared for 002, but now? It actually has to take off by ski jump?

Wu Shengli was also a little excited: "Can it also glide and take off?"

"Yes, we have made calculations. If it is at the far point of the 001 aircraft carrier and the engine is turned on at full power, it should be able to take off with a full load. If the navy leaders approve it, we can try to perform a ski jump after we have completed the ejection take-off subject.

take off."

It's so powerful that flying bricks are flying! A 14,000-horsepower engine is not just a blow!

There is no danger in ejection takeoff. After all, even if you eject to the terminal and cannot take off, at least there is still a runway in front. This is just a land-based simulation deck. If it is a ski jump takeoff, if it does not fly, it will fall to the ground. After all, ski jump takeoff

The jumping platform is so high!

However, Duan Yi is full of confidence.

In fact, it is a false proposition that a ski-jump aircraft carrier cannot take off a propeller-driven aircraft.

When this topic is brought up, some people always say that propeller engines have low power and jets have high power. Through comparison, they conclude that propeller aircraft cannot fly without catapults. In fact, they ignore a key issue: the engine power is small.

The speed required to take off is also small! It depends not only on the engine, but also on the aerodynamic layout!

A simple example is that all airplanes during World War II were propeller-driven and could take off and land directly from the aircraft carrier deck without ski jumps. Not to mention today’s airplanes. Jets use swept wings, have high take-off and landing speeds, and use straight propellers.

Wings, the take-off and landing speed are inherently small. Therefore, it will be easier to take off and land. Not to mention small fighter jets, even large bombers have been there. In order to avenge Pearl Harbor, the American B25 bomber was taken from the Hornet aircraft carrier.

Taking off.

If the example of World War II is not enough, you can also look at the present. During the Cold War, the Americans also tested the C130 taking off and landing from an aircraft carrier. They did not even use arresting cables. They directly pushed back and stopped, but because the wings could not

Folded, the size was too big, and finally gave up.

The proposition that ski jump aircraft carriers cannot take off propellers is just because no one is doing it. After all, the West uses catapults, and Lao Maozi's aircraft carrier has lost these projects before it has tested the fixed-wing carrier-based early warning aircraft.

Now, Dongfang has developed, and Dongfang has this demand! Even if there are carrier-based helicopters to act as early warning aircraft, they are too backward and can only be used to fill blind spots at low altitudes. If two air police 600s are deployed for 001, then the fighter jets

You can still go to the next level.

"Okay, since you have this confidence, we can experiment. However, the risk is very high, so you must be mentally prepared."

After hearing what Wu Shengli said, several crew members on the side spoke: "Leader Wu, we are mentally prepared. As long as the leader approves, we are willing to test fly. We believe that our aircraft will be a complete success."

Early warning aircraft are different from fighter jets. Fighters have ejection seats. Once something goes wrong, they can be ejected into the air at any time. After using the famous K36D ejection seat, various complex situations can ensure a sufficient ejection success rate.

However, such seats cannot be arranged in the cockpit of an AWACS aircraft. Once an AWACS aircraft has an accident, it will be like a large passenger plane. It has to find a way to make an emergency landing. If the emergency landing fails, blood will be shed in the sky.

The risk is great, but for the development of military industry and for the navy's aircraft carrier to gain greater combat effectiveness, they are willing to take these risks!

Wu Shengli's face showed approval: "Okay, then we look forward to your complete success!"

Just when Qin Tao wanted to take a closer look at the plane, there was a dispute outside.

"I am an instructor of the Navy's carrier-based aircraft aviation. The entire Wasteland Village base is open to me. Why don't you let me go in and take a look?"

"I'm sorry, instructor, the equipment we just entered here is a bit sensitive, we..."

"Please come in, Mr. Delano." Wu Shengli said, "Our navy has no secrets about Mr. Delano. He is now one of ours."

Qin Tao is very satisfied with his father-in-law's handling of the matter.

There is indeed no need to hide it from Delano. He has done a lot of secret things. He will never leave the East in his lifetime. Moreover, he does not want to leave. After all, there are his favorite heavy-duty carrier-based stealth aircraft and medium-sized stealth ships here.

Flying on the plane, he had a great time every day.

The carrier-based early warning aircraft cannot be hidden. Even if it is trying to avoid the reconnaissance satellites flying over space now, it will be exposed in the future. Delano will have to know sooner or later, and he can continue to discuss the tactics of fighting under the command of the early warning aircraft. Therefore, he

If you want to see it, then just do it openly.

After receiving permission, Delano walked in with satisfaction and looked at the big guys parked in the hangar with a condescending expression on his face: "We should have had an early warning aircraft a long time ago, but we just didn't know the technology of our early warning aircraft.

How about it, does it have air command capabilities? If it is just an early warning equipment in the air, it is still impractical."

In fact, when he saw this early warning aircraft, Delano was also very satisfied. Of course he knew what having an airborne early warning aircraft meant. The last shortcomings of the navy would be made up. However, he was actually blocked at the door.

It made him very angry, so now, he must act taller and let others know that his status as an instructor is important and cannot be replaced by others. You people don't know anything, and I have to teach you step by step.

, those guards outside are really too ignorant.
