Chapter 189
At the end of October, before the first Tianjin International Airshow.
Another new fighter of the Air Force began mass production and service.
This fighter is the Y-12 tactical transport aircraft that took two years to build.
For this tactical transport aircraft.
The requirements put forward by the Air Force are still very demanding.
It is not only necessary to be able to take off and land short distances in improvised runways paved with dirt or steel plates.
The interior space of the cabin is also required to carry the current BTR30 wheeled armored vehicle, 155mm vehicle-mounted howitzer and heavy delivery truck.
And the speed cannot be lower than 400 kilometers per hour.
The number of soldiers on board must not be less than 80.
This design requirement can be said to be quite high.
However, the West Flight did not disappoint the Air Force.
It is equipped with four advanced turboslurry-20 Nujiang engines.
Compared with the previous turbo 30 Yangtze River engine.
This turboprop-20 engine is very different.
It is not a modification of the turbopulp-30 Yangtze River engine.
Because the turbopulp-20 Nujiang engine is developed on the basis of the core engine of Kunlun Heart.
It is also an engine specially developed for the Y-12.
In the case of not much difference in horsepower.
The volume has been reduced by about a third and the weight by about a quarter.
Fuel consumption and service life have increased by more than 20%.
The Y-12 tactical transport aircraft was equipped with a total of four 5,000 hp turboslur-20 Nujiang engines.
The total power is 20,000 horses.
The size is a lap smaller than the C124 transporter.
The length of the plane alone is 10 meters shorter, only 29 meters.
But its core data is very bright.
The maximum take-off weight is 75 tons.
The maximum flight speed is 550 km / h. 230
The maximum range is 3500 km.
It can carry 22 tons of cargo or 90 soldiers.
The size of the warehouse plus this load.
It is fully capable of carrying BTR-30, 155-mm vehicle-mounted howitzers, hail rocket launchers and other main weapons.
And it also has the ability to take off and land short distances on field airfields.
The Air Force is very satisfied with the Y-12 tactical transport aircraft.
The first batch placed orders for up to 200 aircraft.
Compared to the C-54 and C47.
It's much better.
In addition to the Y-12 tactical transport aircraft.
The Air Force also let them work on a derivative model.
There are three main types.
Respectively, the aerial gunboat aircraft project to replace the AY-1 gunboat machine.
Air tanker for aerial refueling.
AWACS aircraft for air radar early warning.
This can be seen from these three models.
The development of the Air Force has become more and more comprehensive.
When the time came November 1st.
The first Tianjin International Aviation Exhibition was officially launched.
For this air show, the Huaxia Air Force attaches great importance to this.
The special funds on the Navy's side, the leadership of the Air Force is very hot.
I hope to be able to take advantage of this air show and also make a profit.
This time they also came up with the best they could.
The number of aviation companies exhibiting at this air show is not very large.
That's about 200 in total.
And the reason why so few came.
The reason is actually very simple.
The Chinese aviation industry is too strong.
Some companies know that they are also running with them.
Just don't lose money.
However, the companies that came this time are also a little famous in the world.
For example, Boeing, Beicheng Airlines, Integrated Aircraft Company, Volty Aircraft Company, Douglas, Curtislet, Grumman, Lockheed, Republic Airlines, Glenn Martin on this side.
On the German side, Fokkwaf, Mercedes, Heinkel, Juncker, Dornier and others also came.
These companies alone were able to be called famous throughout the thirties and forties.
Especially the eagle-chan side.
The size of their aviation industry.
You can get a glimpse of these companies.
is a very wary opponent.
Come out outside of these businesses.
There are not many customers who came this time.
Almost all the countries worthy of the name came.
Some want to come and shop for goods.
Some came to see the liveliness.
Plus tickets for sale.
It is expected that the traffic of the entire air show will exceed 100,000 passengers.
Eighty percent of them are from the country.
This air show will have many air shows.
This is also a publicity gimmick.
Tickets are also cheaper.
It only costs 20 bucks to be able to watch it for a day.
Of course, this bargain is relative to those who are middle-class.
Just carried out.
Large crowds flocked to the air show.
Undoubtedly, both outdoor and indoor exhibition areas.
The crowd of onlookers in the Huaxia exhibition area is the largest.
And most of them are foreign faces.
This time, the Huaxia Air Force also directly put out the main models such as P-51D Mustang, P-47D Thunderbolt, AD-1 Skyraider, B-29 Superfortress, and C-54 Transporter.
The models of Chengfei, Shenfei, Northwest and Commercial Aviation were also displayed.
It directly blinded the eyes of this group of foreigners.
The models displayed by Huaxia are all all-metal monoplane fighters.
And many foreign aviation companies are still displaying their biplane fighters.
It's better on the eagle sauce side.
There are at least one or two more items that can be obtained.
For example, Boeing's 247 and P26, Douglas's DC-1. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
But in front of these models shown by Huaxia.
It's simply not enough to see.
Among the many booths.
The two aircraft with the largest number of onlookers were the same.
One is the P-51D Mustang fighter.
The other is the B-29 Superfortress bomber.
At the booth of the Mustang fighter, there were thousands of people on the three inner and outer floors.
Among them were executives of large companies such as CJFA, Grumman and Henschel.
When they saw the data display of the P-51D Mustang fighter.
All of their faces showed an incredulous look of shock.
For this fighter, in fact, they are not strangers.
After all, it has been equipped since the time of the Northeast Army.
It's been almost four years.
Despite the closed news of this era.
But there are still many photos coming out.
They also know that this fighter is very advanced.
But how advanced, they don't know.
Because the secrecy work on the Air Force side is too good.
Until today.
Huaxia took the initiative to release the data.
They realized how appalling it was.
More than 700 kilometers per hour, 12,000 meters ceiling, 2,700 kilometers of ultra-long range.
The horsepower of the engine is even more against the sky.
It was as high as more than 1,500 horses.
When airline executives from all over the world saw this horsepower, their faces were extremely exciting.
1,500 horses, what a concept.
You must know that now their liquid-cooled engine has a maximum power of only five or six hundred horses.
The opponent's 1500 horses is directly a dimensionality reduction strike.
Surpassed their most advanced engines by two or three times.
Now they finally know why this fighter is so invincible.
With such a powerful engine, can it not be strong?
There is such a good engine as a powertrain.
It doesn't seem to be so hard to believe that this data is there.
They wondered how Huaxia could build such an advanced fighter in 32 years.
This is simply a puzzling thing.
Compared to the booth of the P-51D Mustang fighter.
The B-29 bomber's booth was even more exaggerated.
The number of onlookers reached nearly 3,000.
People outside can't squeeze in, people inside can't squeeze out.
Compared to the Mustang fighter.
The visual impact of the B-29 strategic bomber is undoubtedly even greater.
The Air Force shines it out, and the purpose is very simple.
It's about showing strength.
Anyway, they already have B-36 strategic bombers with a larger bomb load, a larger range and a more advanced one.
The B-29 is released to shine muscles and there is nothing.
This thing is not something revolutionary.
It's not something that can be created at a glance.
As long as the strength of the aviation industry reaches this point.
Basically, it can be made.
In front of the B-29 strategic bomber.
Other planes are really small.
Even the B-25 medium bomber next to it, which was not small, looked even thinner in front of it.
The data of the B-29 bomber is even more exaggerated in their opinion.
A single engine thrust is 2200 hp.
The maximum range is 5600 km, and the maximum bomb load is 9 tons.
This data is simply a dream bomber.
Not to mention put it in the 30s.
Even in the 40s, it was quite explosive.
They finally knew, too.
Why was Tohoku able to complete the feat of bombing Tokyo in the first place?
There are such anti-sky bombers.
Bombing Tokyo is not an easy task.
This also made the major powers glad that they were far enough away from China.
Even if it is such a bomber against the sky.
Nor can it pose a threat to their homeland.
"In the field of aviation industry, Huaxia is at least ten years ahead of us."
An old white man couldn't help but sigh.
This also made many people silent.
A few years ago, it was a backward agricultural country that could be bullied at will.
It's only been how many years have passed.
The other party actually surpassed them so much in the field of aviation.
This also made them extra vigilant.
"It seems that we also have to speed up the development of the aviation industry.
We must catch up with or even catch up with Huaxia. "
"The show begins."
With a roar from the crowd.
The crowd also began to converge on the other side of the runway.
Their long-awaited aerial show has finally begun.
As a host.
The first air show team was the Falcon Display Team from the Huaxia Air Force.
And their show model is the heavily weighted P-51 Mustang fighter.
It is also a much-anticipated air show.
