Since the engine has been inspected at this time and because of experience, the installation speed of this engine is much faster than when it was first installed, they soon completed the second engine.

At the same time, when installing the second engine, the lifting, mobile installation and other procedures were also very smooth, and there were no problems. After all, the workers and masters who lifted the engine were all masters.

"Old Li! The engine of their Tiangong Technology is really good, and the design considerations are very comprehensive. Not only does it perform very well on our improved No. 6 aircraft, but they even took into account the various procedures and work steps in the installation of the engine.

At the same time, in terms of future maintenance, this engine has been considered very well. Even if there are some mechanical problems with this engine in the future, it does not need to be disassembled before repairing it, but can be directly repaired on the plane without disassembling it. This will definitely greatly reduce the working intensity of maintenance ground staff and other personnel." At this time, a master who was installing the engine said to another master next to him.

"Yes! Lao Wang! Tiangong Technology's engine is indeed very outstanding. I heard that not only our company used this engine, the modified No. 6 aircraft was tested very smoothly.

Even the No. 8 transport aircraft manufacturer is very satisfied with this engine and is also preparing to place an order for this engine from Tiangong Technology. Moreover, the number of orders they are preparing to place is not large, at least a few hundred units.

After all, the No. 8 transport aircraft factory is not like the No. 6 fighter jet tested in our factory. Although our country has completed transport aircraft projects such as No. 9 transport aircraft No. 20 transport aircraft, No. 8 transport aircraft will not be eliminated because of the emergence of these aircraft. The military and other civil aviation groups will also purchase this transport aircraft in large quantities, so their group will not be short of orders.

Moreover, in addition to the No. 8 transport aircraft using turbofan engines, their company has now started to transform and test flights of the No. 8 transport aircraft equipped with electric aviation engines.

Even, I heard that their transformation process was very fast. Not only did they transform multiple aircrafts using turbofan engines, but they even transformed several aircrafts using electric aviation engines. Now they have started test flights, and the data is the same as our company, which makes them very satisfied." Lao Li said.

Just as Lao Li and Lao Wang said, at this time, in a hangar at another aircraft manufacturing plant in the northwest, six transformed No. 8 aircraft were quietly parked in the hangar.

These six modified aircraft No. 8 aircraft are not only one model, but two models.

The No. 8 aircraft using the tg-s002 engine and the test propeller engine were respectively.

And if you look closely, you will find that the No. 8 transport aircraft using propellers in these aircraft do not seem to be very different from the ordinary No. 8 aircraft, but these No. 8 aircraft are very different from the original old No. 8 aircraft in the engine compartment.

First of all, of course, the propeller diameters of these three propellers, the No. 8 aircraft are larger than those of the previous model No. 8 aircraft, but the diameter and volume of the engine compartment are half smaller than the original one.

Compared to these engine compartments, no air intakes and exhaust ports were found, so it seems that it is still very different from the original model of No. 8 aircraft.

Of course, these are just surface data. If anyone can see the data of these three propeller-8 aircraft, they will definitely be even more surprised.

First of all, they would be surprised to find that these three No. 8 aircraft did not use fuel engines as power, but used four special motors to drive the propeller to rotate.

In terms of engine weight, since the efficiency of the motor is much higher than that of the fuel engine, these three aircraft are not only much smaller in the engine compartment, but also much lighter in terms of the weight of the engine itself than the fuel engine.

In addition, they will also find that the cockpits of these three No. 8 aircraft have much fewer instruments, but there are several larger LCD displays.

At the same time, if they know some data about this aircraft, they will definitely be even more surprised, because although the size of these three aircraft is not large, their endurance is not bad. When fully loaded with cargo, they can already be compared with some long-range transport aircraft. If they are filled with spare batteries in the aircraft's spare battery compartment, their range may exceed that of long-range transport aircraft and achieve the endurance of intercontinental transport aircraft.

The second is the transportation capacity of this aircraft. After all, as a transport aircraft, transportation capacity is the key.

As a No. 8 aircraft, the old model before its transformation, its maximum carrying capacity is only about 25 to 30 tons.

But now, the carrying capacity of these three transport aircraft, according to previous test flight data, has reached about fifty tons. You must know that this is just a medium transport aircraft!

The load capacity of a medium-sized transport aircraft in the international world is basically only about 30 tons. But now! The transportation capacity of this transport aircraft has immediately reached the carrying capacity of a heavy transport aircraft.

In fact, this is because the engine used by this transporter is no longer a fuel engine, but an electric engine. The efficiency generated by the electric drive method is far from comparable to that of a fuel engine.

The most important thing is that because the energy density of the batteries installed on the plane is very high, the aircraft naturally does not need to carry dozens of tons of fuel weight, and the excess weight can naturally be basically used to increase the carrying capacity of the aircraft.

Therefore, the carrying capacity of this aircraft is so excellent, and it can even be comparable to that of a heavy transport aircraft.

Of course, if you want to actually transport nearly 50 tons of goods, you naturally need to strengthen the internal cargo warehouse of this aircraft to a certain extent.

Otherwise, the weight of the cargo alone would be enough to overwhelm the internal structure of the aircraft.
