Chapter 494 Regional Airliners MT90 and MT60
Chang'an, the capital of the West, is an ancient capital with thousands of years of history. Chang'an has many places of interest worth visiting and experiencing the glory and magnificence of China's past.
Chen Huaiqing came to Xidu at this time, naturally there was a reason.
Murata Aircraft is located in Xidu.
Mota Aircraft seems to be a standard newcomer in the aviation field.
However, those who know Murata Aircraft know very well that in the field of large transport aircraft research, Murata Aircraft is the number one in China.
Mota Aircraft took over the entire Y10 design and development team, and also took over all the aircraft design and development personnel from Xidu Aircraft Manufacturing Factory.
Xidu Aircraft Manufacturing Factory now focuses on the field of aircraft manufacturing, and research and development is conducted by Murata Aircraft.
Xidu Aircraft Manufacturing Factory is one of the major shareholders of Murata Aircraft.
Murata Aircraft not only studies civil aviation aircraft, but also conducts research on military transport aircraft.
The Gulf War allowed everyone to see the powerful global deployment capabilities of major powers outside the region. In a short period of time, hundreds of thousands of troops could be directly deployed.
In addition to the army, various weapons and equipment were also transported.
Among them, the role of transport aircraft is extremely huge.
Inside the Xidu Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, Chen Huaiqing looked at the aircraft being slowly pulled out of the factory by a professional aircraft trailer.
This is a regional airliner.
Compared with mainline passenger aircraft, this aircraft is naturally slightly inferior in terms of passenger capacity.
It can carry 98,114 passengers, plus 6 crew members.
The entire aircraft is designed and manufactured in accordance with European and American civil aviation standards.
Regarding the development of civil aviation passenger aircraft, it has been decided before that it will not take the route of large passenger aircraft, but will focus on the regional passenger aircraft market first.
First accumulate experience in manufacturing civil aviation aircraft, and then proceed to the research and development of large passenger aircraft.
In 2010, independent research and development and independent production of large civil aviation aircraft were realized.
Including avionics, engines, various aircraft materials, etc.
The ultimate goal is to achieve independent control of the entire aviation industry chain.
"Director Chen, this is the second prototype we have assembled. After passing various tests, if everything goes well, we can apply for airworthiness certification test flight in one year."
As the aircraft flies in the sky, these various tests must be carried out strictly.
European and American civil aviation standards are indeed high, but under the high standards, higher requirements are put forward for design and manufacturing.
Huaguo's R&D personnel are not afraid of high standards.
With the support of sufficient R&D funds, the aviation industry has made rapid progress in these years.
Chen Huaiqing flipped through the booklet in his hand. The booklet was still very beautifully made.
A basic situation of the aircraft is marked above.
Regional airliner code: t90
Body length: 362 meters
Wingspan length: 2872 meters
Body height: 1028 meters
Internal height: 2 meters
Engine: Motaku Kua'e A1 engine
The Murtagh Kea1 engine is a high bypass ratio turbofan engine with a thrust of 6374 kN and 65 tons of force, with a total capacity of 175 tons.
This is an engine specially developed for the T90 aircraft. Since the establishment of the T90 project, the research and development of this engine has also begun.
Previously, in addition to receiving the R&D team of the Y10, Murata Aircraft also received the R&D team of the turbofan 8 engine supporting the Y10.
This engine research and development team has gone through the complete process of aircraft engine research and development through the research and development of Y10 supporting engines.
In other words, they are an experienced aircraft engine research and development team.
After acquiring the aircraft engine R&D team, the Chengdu Aircraft Engine Factory was acquired.
Strengthened R&D capabilities in the field of aircraft engines.
In the past few years, we have been constantly searching for aircraft engine talents.
Of course, we also cultivate ourselves.
Therefore, although we still faced great difficulties when developing the Murtagh Kea1 engine, we still managed to get it done.
The condition of the kea1 engine is quite good, and it performed stably after 1,000 hours of continuous operation in the static test.
To be able to develop the Kea1 engine, we must also mention the progress made in high-temperature alloy materials by the Metal Materials Research Institute of the Motta Institute of Technology.
Engine turbine blades generally operate under harsh working conditions with extremely high centrifugal force at 1500c and close to 15000 rpm.
Turbine blades have high operating temperatures, heavy loads, and complex stresses.
This also requires the material to have strong thermal strength, impact resistance, fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance and damage tolerance characteristics.
The material is like rice!
Make bricks without straw.
The avionics system is developed by Mota Aircraft itself, and all chips and other components used on the aircraft are technically supported by Sixiang Technology.
A lot of data about the T90 aircraft can only be determined after testing.
For example, maximum takeoff weight, maximum load, minimum takeoff runway distance, etc.
There will be a gap between the design data and the actual achievable data for various reasons.
If one day we can achieve a very small error between the design and the actual situation, then it will be great.
At that time, China's aviation industry was truly on the rise.
This is not just a matter of a small gap, but also involves many problems behind it.
Many things seem simple, but behind them there is a system supporting them.
Just like cars, the production of cars could be easily done in China at this time.
But there are not many countries in the world that can produce cars.
There are even fewer people who can do a good job in the automobile industry.
There is no way, this belongs to a whole industrial system.
Chen Huaiqing: "How is the test flight situation of T60?"
The T60 is not a jet aircraft, but a twin-turboprop aircraft.
The design standards are also in accordance with European and American civil aviation passenger aircraft standards.
The T60 does not just want to compete in the Chinese civil aviation passenger aircraft market, but also wants to enter the international market and obtain European and American airworthiness certificates.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In terms of obtaining European and American airworthiness certificates at this time, basically Europe and the United States will not impose restrictions on the T60. After all, both of them are now focusing more on large civilian passenger aircraft.
I can't stand these small airplanes.
After all, small airplanes are not a way to make money. You work hard to sell one and eventually earn hundreds of thousands...
You can make a lot of money by selling large airplanes. One plane can cost at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
Compared with the T90, which has achieved localization of its engine, the T60's engine is outsourced.
The development of turboprop engines has taken a long time, and this long time has naturally resulted in technological maturity.
Therefore, there are quite a few options for purchasing engines for the T60, and we chose an engine manufacturer in the United States.
It belongs to the kind of engine manufacturer that is not too well-known.
The engine is outsourced, but the avionics system of the T60 is still developed in-house.
Except for the engine, everything else is domestically produced.
At this time, China's only domestically produced civil aviation passenger aircraft was the Y-7 aircraft, which was a copy of the Soviet An-24 aircraft.
T60 is developed on the basis of Yun 7. Of course, improvements have been made in many places.
In fact, the T60 is completely different from the Yun7.
In terms of design standards, they are all very different. In addition, the technology used, t60 is more advanced.
Although the time between T60 and Yun-7 is not that long, you must know that Yun-7 was only put into the field of civilian passenger transportation in 1986.
Has technology progressed so much in just a few years?
It's normal. Mota Aircraft has this technical capability at this time.
Murata Aircraft has recruited many aircraft design experts from Ukraine to serve.
In fact, this year, it has become much easier for Murata Aircraft to recruit aircraft design experts from Ukraine.
We are almost hungry, so we naturally have to find a way to continue living our lives.
