The result may not be rushing to the street, but the process is a mess.

Since the establishment of Ascendas Group, a total of 6 planes have crashed, 4 of which are Z-13MAX tilt rotor planes; the 2 pilots who died were all from this model.

As a result, after the Z-13MAX tiltrotor prototype was shipped from the factory in 1995, the Z-13MAX tiltrotor fleet consisting of four test flight prototypes was grounded 8 times.

Had it not been for Zhuang Jianye's persistence under pressure, he would even spend 60% of the 1996 and 1997 R&D budgets on the Z-13MAX tiltrotor project, perhaps the Z-13MAX tiltrotor would have died midway long ago.

In fact, it is not only the Ascendas Group that has planted a big somersault on the tiltrotor, but the American Bell Company also suffered heavy losses. This is no way. This special model has both the vertical take-off and landing capabilities of helicopters and the speed of fixed-wing aircraft. Due to the adoption of many innovative technologies and special concepts, the technology at the initial stage is very immature, especially the transformation between vertical take-off and landing and fixed-wing level flight, which involves many coordinations such as bearings, flight attitude, fly-by-wire control, power output, etc. , A slight failure will cause the plane to crash and kill people.

Ascendas Group’s previous experience in tiltrotor aircraft can be described as zero. In addition to collecting some public information from the American Bell Company in this field, the only thing that can be used for reference is the Mi-30 tilting designed by the former Soviet Union Miri Design Bureau in the 1980s. Rotorcraft.

The problem is that the Miri Design Bureau has completed the initial design and the theoretical calculation of the wind tunnel of the model. When it wanted to make a scale model machine, the Soviet Union crashed and broke, and there was no prototype design, just like it is. The decoration design draft of the neighbor's house is at best a reference, but the actual meaning is really not very big.

So what to do and how to do it is actually all Tengfei Group's own groping, and because of this, Z-13MAX tiltrotor aircraft has become the most difficult model to develop since the establishment of Tengfei Group, and it is also the largest investment. an item.

Although the process is extremely difficult, the Z-13MAX tiltrotor still receives the attention of the Army Aviation, Air Force Airborne and Marine Corps, because apart from other things, the speed and range of the Z-13MAX tiltrotor are only a matter of fact. The eyes of these three companies have been nailed to the Z-13MAX tilt-rotor aircraft, and they can't be pulled out.

We must know that in a certain flight test, the Z-13MAX tiltrotor aircraft achieved a top speed of 498 kilometers per hour and a range of astonishing 857 kilometers.

This indicator is already twice or even three times that of various domestic helicopters at this stage. The problem is that the Z-13MAX tiltrotor is still a technical verification aircraft, not a truly mature model.

According to the plan of Ascendas Group, the ZB-225 tilt-rotor aircraft developed on the basis of the Z-13MAX tilt-rotor aircraft will have a maximum speed of 558 kilometers per hour, a maximum range of 1760 kilometers, a combat radius of 789 kilometers, and a practical ceiling. At 8,200 meters, the internal engine room can be loaded with 7 tons of cargo or 40 fully armed soldiers, and 5 tons of cargo can be hung underneath.

The overall load capacity is one level worse than that of the Zhi-8plus heavy helicopter. However, the Zhi-8plus heavy helicopter is loaded more, but the maximum range is only 725 kilometers, and the maximum speed is only 289 kilometers per hour. The problem is To achieve such an ideal index, additional requirements such as no-load and reduction of obstructive aerodynamic drag accessories need to be met.

Otherwise, the Zhi-8plus heavy helicopter has only a range of 667 kilometers in daily missions and a cruising speed of 253 kilometers per hour. Even with the ability to refuel in the air, such a range and speed will actually affect the rapid deployment of troops.

毊灪9duxs.com毊灪. In contrast, once the ZB-225 tilt-rotor aircraft matures, it will provide a general-purpose transportation platform with extremely high tactical flexibility for the Army Aviation, Airborne Corps and the Marine Corps. By then, these key domestic rapid response forces will be built. The combat effectiveness will be qualitatively improved.

What's more, even if the ZB-225 tilt-rotor aircraft does not undertake the mission of assault force transportation, its range and speed are no less than light military transport aircraft, and it is also an excellent modification platform for special aircraft of various services.

Take, for example, the key electronic warfare aircraft and communication relay command aircraft in the joint operations of the Army.

In the past, only ordinary helicopters could be used as platforms. The speed is second. The key is short legs and limited time in the air. If you want to fight all-weather, you have to use four to six helicopters to form a fleet and alternately lift off to satisfy the division. The basic requirements for joint operations in a first-level campaign.

If the ZB-225 tilt-rotor aircraft is used, only two are sufficient to support all the needs of this level, not to mention, it can also meet the construction of a group army-level joint combat system on a larger scale.

嬯寷b①②0w①②寷。 Because the ZB-225 tilt-rotor aircraft has a long enough time in the air, the internal space is large enough, and there are enough equipment that can be loaded, the scope of application is naturally wide enough.

The Army is like this, and the Air Force also has a different need for the ZB-225 tilt-rotor aircraft, which is to rescue pilots.

In the past, when the air force was out of equipment, the main focus was on homeland air defense, until there was no need to rescue pilots behind enemy lines. However, after major incidents, the risk of military struggles along the southeast coast increased sharply, and our army on the offensive end had to face this. Realistic problems, especially in recent years, with the upgrading of the Air Force’s hardware and equipment, the Air Force has begun to transform from a homeland air defense model to a modern air force with both offensive and defensive capabilities. Rescue of pilots has become an important task for ensuring the combat effectiveness of the Air Force in the future.

For this reason, the focus of airborne troop exercises in recent years has been to break into the enemy's rear as a small unit ~lightnovelpub.net~ to rescue the crashed pilots of our army.

However, according to the actual exercise of the airborne troops, the existing equipment system cannot meet the rescue mission of pilots behind enemy lines. The main reason is that the helicopter's range is close, and the distance is good. Once it exceeds Hangzhou, the task execution will be difficult. Increase exponentially.

The problem is that the battlefield is never assumed by your assumptions, and frequent emergencies is the normal state. Therefore, an aerial platform with long range, fast speed, strong concealment, and the ability to take off and land on complex terrain has become the dream of airborne troops. The unit infiltrated the equipment.

The ZB-225 tilt-rotor aircraft meets the needs of airborne troops no matter from which point of view it is viewed. Therefore, it has been unanimously recognized and supported by them from above and below.

However, compared with the special needs of the army and the air force, the navy is called omnidirectional. You must know that the navy has a huge concept of having one aircraft carrier, three amphibious assault ships, and four dock landing ships in the 1920s and 1930s. Yes, and these types of ships require various types of carrier-based aircraft to serve them in order to form a strong integrated combat capability.

巗攮攮. Among them, carrier-based early warning aircraft, carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft, carrier-based electronic aircraft, carrier-based transport aircraft, and ship-based aerial tankers...

This series of special models is naturally equipped with complete equipment, but the problem is that there is no domestic model that can meet the requirements of all the above-mentioned carrier models at the same time. At this time, the ZB-225 tilt-rotor aircraft appeared horizontally. At this point, yo ha~~~ This little Jiji is really good, no matter her body or appearance, she is suitable for riding wind and waves, sailing away, what else to say, Tilting Wing Ji... I want it!
