Chapter 814: Zhou Yang is the protagonist!
Northeast. Liaoshen Aircraft Factory!
As the IL-14 slowly landed on the runway, Zhou Yang and others finally arrived at the Liaoshen Aircraft Factory after a two and a half hour flight.
Zhou Yang was quite satisfied with this speed. If he had taken a straight-5 helicopter, the time would have at least doubled.
Before they even got off the plane, Zhou Yang and others saw a group of people wearing cotton coats and cotton hats standing on the side of the runway. The leaders were Director Zou from the airport, and Gu Zhenhua, the chief designer of the aircraft.
Although the remaining people could not be seen clearly, they were all familiar faces and should be other leading cadres of the aircraft factory.
These people should appear here specifically to greet them, but their specifications are a bit shocking!
Sure enough, when the cabin door opened and the gangway was lowered, Director Zou, Gu Zhenhua and others came to greet them.
When Zhou Yang, Nie Nansun and others got off the plane, Director Zou said with a smile: "I look forward to the stars and the moon, and finally I've got you here!"
Mr. Nie immediately said: "I'm really flattered that you, Director Zou, can come to greet us!"
"Hahaha, that's right. It's really hard work for you to travel thousands of miles to come to our Gada!"
While Director Zou was chatting with Mr. Nie, Gu Zhenhua looked at Zhou Yang and said excitedly: "Comrade Zhou Yang, we meet again!"
"Yes, we have only been apart for half a year. I didn't expect you to come up with an improved version of the J-8 so quickly. Congratulations!" Zhou Yang said.
"Hahaha, with the information you left behind, if we can't get it out, what's the point?"
"I just provided some ideas, it's mainly up to you!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"Comrade Zhou Yang, your words are really modest. We are all designers, and we all know that sometimes a simple idea may require designers to study for several years or even more than ten years. Your information can be said to help us Save yourself at least 10 years of detours!”
"Excellent...Excellent, it's not that exaggerated!"
Although Zhou Yang also knew that the improvement plan he provided had indeed greatly inspired Gu Zhenhua and others and saved them from many detours, he would not just accept the praise from Gu Zhenhua and others.
Full of losses, modest gains!
People, it’s better to be as humble as possible when dealing with others!
Gu Zhenhua smiled and said: "You are good at everything, but you are too humble. People who don't know better think you are a bad old man who is several decades old..."
Before he finished speaking, Director Zou's hearty voice came from here: "Don't freeze here, everyone, we have prepared a reception banquet for you, please!"
"please!"
Afterwards, under the leadership of Director Zou and others, the group got into the waiting car next to the airport, and then went straight to the cadre restaurant of the aircraft factory!
When everyone arrived at the restaurant, the staff here had been waiting for a long time.
As soon as people arrived, various dishes were quickly served, and soon a large table was filled.
Seeing the reception specifications in front of him, Nie Nansun was secretly shocked.
He felt incredible when he saw Director Zou at the airport just now with a group of airport leaders coming to pick him up.
You must know that Director Zou is the director of Liaoshen Aircraft Factory, half a level higher than him. Normally, only senior military leaders can alert him to pick up the plane.
Obviously, he, Nie Nansun, was not qualified to have people pick him up in person.
Moreover, the standards of this reception banquet are also surprisingly high. They usually have standards for receiving comrades from fraternal units. A business reception like this usually does not exceed eight dishes and one soup.
Look at the food on the table in front of you. There are 12 dishes for 10 people, and they are all meat dishes.
Even if it’s an internal canteen, you can’t afford this meal without thirty or forty yuan!
This doesn't include the cost of the drinks. The Maotai liquor placed in a circle around the table is not cheap.
Nie Nansun soon discovered the problem, and everyone at the Liaoshen Aircraft Factory, including Director Zou, looked at Zhou Yang intentionally or unintentionally.
The co-authors are mainly here to greet this kid, they are just picking up grass and hunting rabbits - just taking him along!
After understanding this, Nie Nansun was even more surprised.
I had heard before that Zhou Yang was also very accomplished in aircraft design. During the real-machine test of pulse Doppler airborne radar last year, he participated in the design of the J-8 improved fighter.
He originally thought that Zhou Yang was just giving some suggestions in the field he was familiar with, but now it seems that this kid played a big role in it, otherwise Director Zou and others would not pay so much attention to him.
No wonder Liaoshen Aircraft Factory insisted on inviting this guy over. It turns out he is the protagonist...
........
After dinner, it was already past two in the afternoon!
After settling in a place to live, Zhou Yang planned to take a rest, but this plan was ruined by Gu Zhenhua.
"Mr. Gu, where are we going?" Zhou Yang asked, rubbing his hands and sighing.
The weather in Gada in the Northeast is really scary. The temperature of more than 30 degrees below zero is enough to deter people who have never been here.
Even though Zhou Yang had been in the Saibei area for so many years, he was still shivering from the cold!
"Take you to see our new aircraft!" Gu Zhenhua said with a proud look on his face.
"That's good!"
After hearing this, Zhou Yang also became interested. He also wanted to see what the improved J-8 equipped with pulse Doppler radar would look like.
"Hahaha, I'm sure it will surprise you!"
"Mr. Gu, hearing you say that makes me look forward to it even more..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Zhenhua said: "You are so different from one another, Mr. Gu. I am less than two rounds older than you, so just call me Lao Gu!"
"Hahaha, that's okay too!"
Then Zhou Yang continued: "By the way, Lao Gu, what is the performance of the improved J-8?"
He knew that the so-called first flight was only for the superiors to see. The Liaoshen Aircraft Factory must have carried out comprehensive testing on this fighter aircraft, and it would not fly into the sky once or twice.
"It's excellent. It far exceeded our expectations and even exceeded the J-9's design requirements!" Gu Zhenhua said.
"Which version of Jianjiu?"
The reason why Zhou Yang asked this is mainly because the performance indicators of the J-9 have changed again and again since the beginning of its design.
When the design plan was first submitted in 1964, it had a ceiling of 20 kilometers, a maximum Mach number of 2.2, a basic range of 1,600 kilometers, and a weight of about 10 tons.
But in 1975, it was proposed that the maximum Mach number was 2.6, the ceiling was 23 kilometers, the maximum climb rate was 220 meters/second, the basic range was 2000 kilometers, and the combat radius was greater than 600 kilometers.
Last year, the final plan was proposed, which is a canard layout, a 60-degree delta wing, an area of 50 square meters, a 55-degree delta wing with an area of 2.58 square meters, a fixed installation angle of 3 degrees, a fuselage length of 18 meters, and two Side air intake.
Of course, it is precisely because of this kind of change from day to day that the J-9 has various designs, including single-engine and double-engine. The development unit was at a loss as to what to do, which also caused it to lose in the competition with the improved J-8.
Eventually he was dismounted.
Gu Zhenhua smiled and said: "The parameters proposed in 1975 were only mentioned verbally in last year's edition and have no reference significance!"
"Hahaha, if it can really meet the design parameters of the J-9, then our fighter will be considered stable!" Zhou Yang also said a little excitedly.
"Well, we think so too, but there are still some problems with the plane and we need you to analyze it!" Gu Zhenhua said.
"Oh, what's the problem?"
"Let's go, we're almost at the assembly workshop. Let's talk about it when we get there!"
"OK..."
Chapter completed!
