The Military-industrial Scientific Research System of the Academic Master Chapter 460

Chapter 460 J-11 final assembly rolls off the assembly line, multi-arc ion plating technology!

Chang Haonan certainly didn't know yet. His subsequent phone call, which was intended only to solve the problem of the localization rate of helicopters, would bring a major earthquake to the entire Chinese automobile industry.

 At this time, he came to Shengjing on another business trip.

 Because the first two J-11s that were assembled by Factory 112 have rolled off the assembly line.

Of course, after all, it is just final assembly, and the difficulty itself is not that great. The main focus of Factory 112 and Institute 601 in the past six months has actually been on sorting and translating technical data related to the Su-27 aircraft, as well as contacting Sukhoi experts. Discuss the next steps for improvement.

Originally, this was not a big event, and the factory did not plan to hold any large-scale celebrations. However, Chang Haonan had never seen the domestically produced J-11 series fighter jets in his previous life, so he took this opportunity to quench his thirst.

 It was still United Airlines' Tu 154M, and it was still Taoxian Airport, but the person traveling with him became Zhu Yadan, who was protecting Chang Haonan's safety.

As a Ph.D. majoring in aircraft design, Yao Mengna is a genius in the normal sense after all. It is difficult for her to seamlessly switch between the two thinking modes of inflow design (aviation engine) and outflow design (aerodynamics) like Chang Haonan. Therefore, she After assisting in the development of the first version of TORCH Multiphysics, he did not choose to participate in the research and development of the Taihang project with Chang Haonan. Instead, he chose to join Project 11, responsible for the digitization of J-11 technical data and the improvement of production processes.

 So actually, Yao Mengna has been staying in Shengjing during this period of time.

As for Xu Yang, she is actually not very interested in airplanes. She is currently still working on an algorithm that can directionally modify GPS positioning data.

 The process of getting off the plane from Taoxian Airport has become as instinctive to Chang Haonan as eating and drinking.

As usual, there was a car waiting for him at the door.

He Ming, deputy chief engineer of the 112 Factory, came to pick him up in person.

He and Chang Haonan were old acquaintances. After meeting, they just shook hands and got into the back seats on both sides of the car.

“Mr. He, the conditions in your factory seem to have improved a lot during this period.”

The morning of early autumn in Northeast China was already a bit cold. Chang Haonan tightened his tight coat and looked around at the new decorations in the car and said.

The last few times he went to the 112 Factory, he took a 212 Jeep, but this time he had a brand new Jetta King.

Although it is not a good car, and it is most likely a business version (extreme simplified version) supported by FAW's sister units, it is still a serious passenger car, much more comfortable than the 212 in the past.

On the other hand, when Yao Mengna was talking to him on the phone, besides discussing technical issues, she would also talk about some miscellaneous things in life. According to the former's description, the food in Factory 112 was much better than a year ago, at least except for breakfast. You can see the fishy smell everywhere...

"That's for sure. In the past six months, there have been a lot of domestic orders, plus the F4 upgrade order from Persia. Although the money does not fall directly into our factory, it is still much more abundant than before, at least the wages of employees and welfare can be guaranteed, and the food expenses have also increased from 6.3 yuan to 7.9 yuan..."

As the deputy chief engineer of the entire factory, He Ming is responsible for a lot of management and organizational work in addition to technical aspects. He is very familiar with these things.

 Only by solving the worries of employees can we keep them working in a down-to-earth manner.

 As the two of them chatted, the car quickly drove to Beiling Airport, near the final assembly workshop of Factory 112.

 “Come back again…”

Chang Haonan opened the car door, got out of the back seat, and then took a deep breath of fresh air in the suburbs of Shengjing.

 It was here that he witnessed the first flight of a new model for the first time after his rebirth. It was the J-8C03 prototype after extensive modifications in design.

Nearly a year has passed, and both Chang Haonan himself, Factory 112, and even the entire Chinese aviation industry are no longer what they used to be...

 “Long time no see, junior brother.”

Yao Mengna has obviously been waiting here for a while. When she saw Chang Haonan getting off the car, she came up to her and took the initiative to say hello.

“Long time no see. Is the project here going well?”

Although we have communicated on the phone before, the project issues are not as direct as face-to-face communication after all. "Okay, it's all the parts I'm good at, digital design and production, and structural analysis." Yao Mengna lightly shrugged and replied:

"We have begun to change the production process of the domestically produced J-11 body frame from welding to integral forging, and have also increased the amount of composite materials. However, these will have to wait until at least the third batch of aircraft to be used. The first two batches The technical conditions are basically the same as the original products produced in Gongqingcheng.”

While the two were chatting, an aircraft with a yellow fuselage and gray radome had been pulled out of the assembly shop.

As usual, there is a big red flower tied on the nose of the aircraft.

Chang Haonan has even begun to adapt to this earthy aesthetic now, and it actually looks pretty good at first glance.

He had seen the Su-30MK at the Xiangzhou Air Show before, but because he was very busy at the time, he had no chance to take a closer look. Now that he was getting closer, he could intuitively feel the exaggerated size of this aircraft.

However, the sharp-eyed Chang Haonan soon discovered that this aircraft was actually a little different from the previously imported Su-27SK.

“Have you replaced the wingtip pylons?”

This first mass-produced aircraft with production batch number 110101 has been replaced with a trapezoidal double-layer pylon similar to the previous J-11B, instead of the original Su-27's straight pylon.

Of course, this change itself does not have any technical difficulty. It is just to make this pylon compatible with the Pili 8 air-to-air missiles whose wingspan is too exaggerated. In practical applications, in most cases, the pylon will be directly removed at this position. It can be said that choosing an electronic warfare pod is not a very important change.

 But the symbolic meaning is completely different.

 On the first aircraft that rolled off the assembly line at Factory 112, Sukhoi made special modifications based on the actual needs of the Chinese Air Force, which was obviously a good start.

“Yes, this was proposed by Yao Gong before.”

He Ming walked over from behind and stood side by side with Chang Haonan:

“After all, although R73 has been purchased in large quantities, if one round is lost, our main force must be domestically produced ammunition.”

Yao Mengna glanced at He Ming who suddenly interrupted, but the latter had no idea and had to return to the topic:

“Selling your soul is something that happens again and again. When we first started to modify the J-11 with us, Sukhoi was a little bit hesitant, but later he got used to it and it was nothing.”

Although the J-11 cannot be called a new model in any way, the first two aircraft still have to undergo some ground tests first and cannot be tested immediately after leaving the factory.

 So the celebration lasted very short, and it ended with everyone gathering around the plane and taking photos.

 After the conversation came to an end, He Ming pulled Chang Haonan to a slightly remote corner:

“Comrade Haonan, there is something we want to contact you about. You are coming over today, so we can discuss it in person.”

The latter nodded slightly, indicating to the other party to continue speaking.

"When we tried to install the electronic warfare pod you developed on the J-8C, the engineers at Sukhoi hoped to obtain complete related technologies through peer-to-peer exchange. We asked the 14th Institute of Electronics, and they said You agree to let us handle it, but we ask for your opinion first.”

Chang Haonan was stunned by one sentence.

He never expected that the day of reverse export of weapons and equipment to Russia would come so soon.

 Although the transaction method is quite special.

“Of course you can exchange technology for technology, but it depends on what the other side comes up with.”

 After thinking for a moment, Chang Haonan replied:

"We don't expect to take advantage of the other side, but we certainly can't suffer a loss."

"Now Lao Maozi has established a unified unit responsible for the import and export of weapons and equipment, so the things that can be taken out are quite complicated. The conditions they offered this time are that they can transfer a complete set of multi-arc ion plating equipment, as well as related technology!"
