Liaoshen Aircraft Factory. Internal guest house!
Zhou Yang was about to take a shower and rest when he heard a rapid knock on the door.
When I came to the door, I looked out through the peephole and found that it was Gu Zhenhua and Huang Zheng standing outside.
Afterwards, Zhou Yang opened the door.
Seeing Zhou Yang's disheveled appearance, Gu Zhenhua immediately asked with a smile: "You look like this, are you ready to rest?"
"After working hard for a long time, I'm sweating all over and ready to take a shower!"
Then Zhou Yang asked again: "Why did you two come to my place if you didn't accompany the leader?"
Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "The leader is accompanied by Director Zou and Deputy Director Lang, so the two of us will not join in the fun!"
And Huang Zheng, who has an upright personality, said bluntly: "We are all technical people, why do we join in the fun? It's so awkward, and besides, we are not qualified!"
Zhou Yang smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, he stepped aside and motioned for the two of them to enter the room!
Gu Zhenhua immediately said: "We won't go in. Call your guards and take you somewhere!"
"Where do I need to call the security guard?" Zhou Yang asked curiously.
"Haha, just tell me, you don't need to bring guards with you wherever you go?" Gu Zhenhua said with a smile.
Zhou Yang: @#￥%
Just as he was talking, Chen Beixuan, who heard the noise, also walked out of the room.
When Zhou Yang saw this, he immediately asked him to lock the door, button it, and followed Gu Zhenhua and others downstairs.
Downstairs, two jeeps were waiting for them.
Under Gu Zhenhua's instructions, several people immediately got into the car and drove towards a tall building in the distance.
Soon, the car arrived at a final assembly workshop of the Liaoshen Aircraft Manufacturing Plant.
When Zhou Yang and others came over, there were two military green helicopters parked in the workshop, and many people were busy surrounding the two aircraft.
With just a glance, Zhou Yang saw several familiar figures in the crowd: Gao Tingye, Qi Tongguang, Zeng Anning, Li Weidong, Li Aiping...
Arriving in front of the plane, Gu Zhenhua clapped his hands, and then said loudly: "Comrades, put your work aside and come and assemble!"
Soon, the staff around the two helicopters gathered around and lined up neatly under Gu Zhenhua's order.
After everyone lined up, Gu Zhenhua pointed at Zhou Yang and said to everyone: "Let me introduce to you, this is Zhou Yang, the chief designer of our "Mountain Eagle" helicopter..."
“Bah bang bang!!!”
Before he finished speaking, the entire assembly workshop burst into warm applause.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Yang immediately stepped forward and bowed to everyone in response to their applause.
And his actions made the applause even more intense!
After the applause subsided, Gu Zhenhua said again: "Due to work reasons, Comrade Zhou Yang did not participate in the later development of the "Shanying", but the early design and technical demonstration were basically completed by him alone. It can be said that without him There would be no "Mountain Eagle"!"
"Tomorrow the "Mountain Eagle" will officially make its first flight. Before that, I invited Comrade Zhou Yang over. Firstly, I wanted him to see our results. Secondly, I wanted Comrade Zhou Yang to give us some guidance on how to "Shanying" "Is there any room for improvement?"
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "Don't take it seriously as advice. Let's just treat it as a communication and discussion. After all, researching helicopters is not my specialty!"
Gu Zhenhua: @#￥%
Huang Zheng: @#￥%……&
Gao Tingye: @#￥%
........
After a brief exchange of greetings, under Gu Zhenhua's instructions, these staff members introduced Zhou Yang to the situation of the two helicopters in front of him:
"Shanying is a twin-engine, single-propeller general-purpose helicopter. Its main airborne equipment includes high-frequency/radiation modulation radio, Doppler radar, code selection and identification device, etc.!"
"The fuselage is 15.26 meters long, 2.4 meters wide, 5.2 meters high, the weight data is 5801 kilograms empty, the mission take-off weight is 7508 kilograms, and the maximum take-off weight is 9279 kilograms! "
"According to our test data, the Shanying's maximum horizontal flight speed is 286 kilometers/hour, its maximum cruising speed is 258 kilometers/hour, its vertical climb rate is >2.28 meters/second, its practical ceiling is 5790 meters, and its hovering height is 2895 meters. At maximum take-off Weight, maximum in-plane fuel and 30 minutes of remaining fuel, the range is 600 kilometers and the endurance is 2.3 hours..."
After listening to the staff's report, Zhou Yang felt quite excited.
The name "Mountain Eagle" was coined by Zhou Yang, not only because he prefers birds of prey like the Mountain Eagle, but also because this helicopter is modeled after the "Black Hawk" of the Thief Eagle.
Although the Black Hawk is slightly different from the "Black Hawk" helicopter in terms of fuselage size, especially in terms of weight, it is similar to the Black Hawk in terms of test data.
Coupled with the extremely similar appearance, this is exactly the twin brother of the Black Hawk helicopter, a copycat version of the Black Hawk, referred to as the "Mountain Eagle".
Originally, Zhou Yang’s expectations for this helicopter were not too high. After all, this was not a field he was particularly good at. When he decided to embark on this project, Zhou Yang felt that as long as it could achieve 60% of the performance of the Black Hawk helicopter, it would be considered a success. .
But what I didn't expect was that the final product would be so amazing, reaching more than 90% of the Black Hawk's performance.
Although this is just a general-purpose helicopter and is not equipped with any weapon systems, for the military, which is seriously short of helicopters, the launch of the Mountain Eagle helicopter is of extremely great significance.
While Zhou Yang was deep in thought, Gu Zhenhua's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Comrade Zhou Yang, you heard what happened just now. Do you think our "Mountain Eagle" has achieved your design goals?"
Zhou Yang did not hesitate and said in a deep voice: "Strictly speaking, it has not been reached yet. For example, in terms of weight, it is at least 500 kilograms heavier than what I designed, and the speed and range are also worse than what I expected!"
Just when everyone looked disappointed, Zhou Yang changed his words and said again: "However, based on our current conditions and industrial level, it is already very good to be able to achieve this level. At least I am very satisfied!"
"Then is there any room for improvement in "Shan Ying"?" Huang Zheng asked in a deep voice.
"Definitely, but I have to analyze the details after watching the flight of the "Mountain Eagle" in person!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "However, the workmanship of these two fighters is relatively rough in many places, and many parts are hand-made, so they are inferior in terms of accuracy and other aspects!"
"If this fighter jet can pass the Mavcom's inspection and be successfully mass-produced, through industrial production, the accuracy of parts and components will be greatly improved, thereby improving the performance of the aircraft. Therefore, the potential of this fighter jet is still very great!"
"Pa bang bang..."
As soon as Zhou Yang finished speaking, the assembly workshop immediately remembered the warm applause.
After the applause had subsided, Gu Zhenhua said loudly: "Comrades, if you have any questions, you can ask Comrade Zhou Yang for advice now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged technician asked: "Comrade designer, I have seen your design draft, and I saw that the maximum speed designed on it is 300 kilometers per hour. Can a helicopter really fly that fast?"
"Yes, but with our current technological level, it is still difficult to reach this speed!" Zhou Yang said.
Whether the speed of a helicopter can exceed 300 kilometers per hour, the answer is obvious, it must be possible.
For example, the Mi-28NM Super Night Hunter entered service by Damao in 2009 has a top speed of 300 kilometers per hour.
There is also the Ka-52 Alligator, a multi-functional all-weather attack helicopter also made by 2 Damao, with a top speed of 302 kilometers per hour.
Another example is the multi-purpose helicopter NH90, which is jointly produced by four European countries. This helicopter uses a composite material structure and an advanced flight control system. It can perform tasks in various harsh weather and complex terrain conditions, with a maximum speed of 305 kilometers. per hour.
Therefore, when Zhou Yang designed the "Mountain Eagle", the maximum speed was set at 300 kilometers.
However, he also knows that it is difficult to achieve with the current domestic technological level, but he can set goals for the future improvement of the "Mountain Eagle".
"Comrade Zhou Yang, I would like to ask what level our "Mountain Eagle" is in the world..."
"Comrade Zhou Yang, the engine of Shanying..."
"Comrade Zhou Yang..."
Soon, Zhou Yang was surrounded by the researchers in front of him...
