Chapter 368 Assembly begins

"Mr. Wang! This aircraft that is assembling the keel is the first aircraft designed by our Tiangong Technology. According to your requirements, our aircraft can not only perform transportation and other tasks, but also perform tactical bombing tasks.

However, in terms of the flight speed and altitude of the aircraft, this aircraft cannot meet the requirements you expect from Mr. Wang, and it is also the double-two standard. Because according to our calculations, if you want to meet the double-two standard, this aircraft must be equipped with at least three TG-WSX1 engines, and of course, three TG-003 turbojet engines can also be used.

However, if we do this, the various performances of the aircraft will be greatly reduced, especially in terms of transportation capacity and carrying capacity. According to our estimates, it will be shortened by at least half.

In this way, the practicality of this aircraft will be greatly reduced. After all, as a dual-purpose transport bombing aircraft, if the range and carrying capacity are too small, then how useful is it even if the speed and ceiling are large." After entering the workshop, Professor Dai said to Wang Bin.

After hearing this, Wang Bin nodded and said nothing. After all, when the aircraft was designed and finalized, Professor Dai and others had already seen the design drawings of the aircraft and the performance of the aircraft for Wang Bin, and only after getting Wang Bin's approval did they start manufacturing parts. Otherwise, as a private enterprise, it would be impossible to carry out such a large project without a boss.

Wang Bin and others soon arrived next to the keel of the Phoenix-1 type aircraft that was being assembled. Wang Bin carefully set up a large number of keels of the aircraft.

It is obvious that the keel of this aircraft is not made of aviation aluminum or titanium alloy. On the contrary, the keel of this aircraft is made of various steel materials that are not commonly used on aircraft.

Of course, these steels are not actually ordinary steels, but are made of special steels developed by their latest research and development of Tiangong Technology. This steel is not only excellent in all properties, such as heat resistance and oxidation resistance. Even compared with titanium alloys, many of them have much higher performance. At the same time, in terms of weight, this steel is also very light, reaching the same level as aviation aluminum.

It is precisely this special steel that has properties that far exceeds aviation aluminum and other materials that their Tiangong Technology aircraft uses this steel as the keel of the aircraft.

Although the assembly of keels has entered the final stage, the workers who assembled keels did not neglect because of this, but were seriously completing the work in their hands. Even the arrival of Wang Bin and the others did not notice these workers.

Some people will conduct multiple inspections after installing a keel. If the inspection is found and the installation is not in place, they will immediately remove the keel and reassemble it.

Because as technicians in the field of quick success, they are very aware that sometimes a small problem may cause major accidents, such as the previous crash of the Northwest Six.

Of course, such an important assembly work naturally has a person in charge. After all, Professor Dai is only the general manager of this plane, but he cannot gather everything and take care of everything himself. In addition, Professor Kao is not young anymore. Even if he wants to take care of himself, he no longer has the energy.

"Professor Dai! How is the assembly of the keel of this plane? Is it still going well?" Wang Bin turned his head and asked Professor Dai next to him.

"Mr. Wang! Although there have been many difficulties in assembling the aircraft keel, such as technicians are unfamiliar with aircraft manufacturing, these difficulties are not big problems. Just check and correct them.

If everything goes well, the assembly of our keels for 6 of our plane in the past two days, and the plane will enter the final assembly stage next.”

After hearing Professor Dai's words, Wang Bin nodded and asked Professor Dai again: "Professor Dai! In other aspects of the aircraft, especially those equipment that we Tiangong Technology cannot produce on our own for the time being. Do you have any contact with relevant manufacturers? Do these manufacturers have any equipment to deliver?"

Wang Bin knew that after the aircraft was assembled, what was next to it was the installation of various subsystems of the aircraft, such as the aircraft's avionics system, airborne equipment system, etc.

The aircraft will only be skinned and painted after all these projects are installed.

"Mr. Wang! Don't worry, we have contacted relevant official manufacturers and scientific research institutions for the relevant equipment and subsystems. At the same time, for related electronic equipment, I also provide relevant manufacturers with chips produced by our Tiangong Technology to ensure the safety of aircraft electronic equipment." Professor Dai said.

Wang Bin looked at the workers who were seriously installing the keel, and he was still very pleased. Although most of these workers were assembling the aircraft for the first time, some technicians had been transferred from the engine assembly workshop before, so although they were unfamiliar with the assembly, they strictly assembled the keels of the aircraft according to the assembly process requirements.

After assembling the aircraft engine, they clearly know that assembling the aircraft keel is not careless. Just like the previous engine assembly, there are strict requirements. Not only can there be no deviation in assembly parts, but even screws and nuts are screwed in sequence and process requirements in terms of tightness.

Of course, when installing these keels, these workers must carefully inspect the keels before installing them, without any problems before installing them. If they find any problems, even if it is a small pit or a sunken, they will put the part aside and scrap it directly.

In the following days, Wang Bin was always in the assembly workshop with Professor Dai, and with Wang Bin's joining, the assembly process of this aircraft was much faster.

It took only two days to install the keel of the plane.

As the keel was installed, the technical workers immediately sent the keel into another workshop with a smaller area, but more than 100 meters square, and sprayed the paint.

That's right, this workshop smaller than the assembly workshop is the main painting workshop manufactured by Tiangong Technology aircraft. Most of the equipment in the workshop is developed by their Tiangong Technology Machinery R&D Laboratory. Even if some of them are not capable of researching and developing, they are purchased by Wang Bin from the technology mall.
