Chapter 1178 Tilt-rotor aircraft

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The result may not be overwhelming, but the process is a mess.

    Since the establishment of Ascendas Group, a total of 6 aircraft have crashed, 4 of which were Z-13max tilt-rotor aircraft; the two pilots who died were all from this aircraft type.

    So since the z-13max tilt-rotor aircraft prototype left the factory in 1995, the z-13max tilt-rotor aircraft fleet composed of four test flight prototypes has been grounded eight times.

    If Zhuang Jianye had not persisted under pressure and even invested 60% of the R&D budget in 1996 and 1997 on the z-13max tilt-rotor aircraft project, the z-13max tilt-rotor aircraft might have died midway.

    In fact, it was not just the Ascendas Group that suffered a big setback with its tilt-rotor aircraft. The American Bell Company also suffered heavy losses. There was nothing that could be done about it. This special model had both the vertical take-off and landing capabilities of a helicopter and the flight speed of a fixed-wing aircraft.  , due to the adoption of many innovative technologies and special concepts, the technology in the initial stage is very immature, especially the conversion between vertical take-off and landing and fixed-wing level flight, which involves many coordinations such as bearings, flight attitude, fly-by-wire control, and power output.  , if it is not handled properly, it will lead to the destruction of the machine and the death of people.

    Ascendas Group has zero previous experience in tilt-rotor aircraft. In addition to collecting some public information from the American Bell Company in this field, the only thing it can learn from is the Mi-30 tilt-rotor designed by the former Soviet Union's Mili Design Bureau in the 1980s.  Gyrocopter.

    The problem is that the Mili Design Bureau has completed the initial design and the wind tunnel theoretical calculation of the model. When they wanted to make a full-scale model aircraft, the Soviet Union was shattered to pieces. There was not even a prototype design. It was like  The design draft of the neighbor's home decoration is just a reference at most, but the actual significance is really not very big.

    So what to do and how to do it are actually all being explored by Ascendas Group itself. Because of this, the z-13max tilt-rotor aircraft has become the most difficult model to develop since the establishment of Ascendas Group, and it is also the largest investment.  an item.

    Although the process is extremely difficult, the z-13max tilt-rotor aircraft still attracts the attention of the Army Aviation, Air Force Airborne Forces and Marine Corps, because aside from other things, the speed and range of the z-13max tilt-rotor aircraft are  The eyes of these three companies have been nailed to the Z-13max tilt-rotor aircraft, and they cannot pull it out.

    You must know that in a certain flight test, the z-13max tilt-rotor aircraft reached a maximum speed of 498 kilometers per hour, and its range reached an astonishing 857 kilometers.

    This indicator is already two or even three times that of various domestic helicopters at this stage. The problem is that the z-13max tilt-rotor aircraft is still a technology verification aircraft and is not a truly mature model for installation.

    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 1,760 kilometers, a combat radius of 789 kilometers, and a practical ceiling  8,200 meters, the internal cabin can carry 7 tons of cargo or 40 fully armed soldiers, and 5 tons of cargo can be mounted underneath.

    The overall load capacity is one level lower than that of the Z-8plus heavy-duty helicopter. However, the Z-8plus heavy-duty helicopter can carry more, but its maximum range is only 725 kilometers, and its maximum speed is only a pitiful 289 kilometers per hour. The problem is  To achieve such ideal indicators, it is necessary to meet additional requirements such as no-load and reducing attachments that hinder aerodynamic resistance.

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

    In contrast, once the ZB-225 tilt-rotor aircraft matures, it will provide the Army Aviation, Airborne Forces and Marine Corps with a highly tactically flexible universal transport platform. By then, these key domestic rapid reaction forces will  The combat effectiveness will be qualitatively improved.

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

    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 was second to none. The key was short legs and limited airborne time. If you wanted to fight all-weather, you had to use four to six helicopters to form a fleet and take off continuously and alternately to meet the needs of the division.  Basic requirements for joint operations in first-level campaigns.

    If ZB-225 tilt-rotor aircraft is used, only two of them are enough to support all the needs of this level, and can also meet the establishment of an army-level joint combat system on a larger scale.

    Because the zb-225 tilt-rotor aircraft can stay in the air long enough, the internal space is large enough, and it can load enough equipment, the scope of application is naturally wide enough.

      As is the case with the Army, 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 equipment was backward, it focused on homeland air defense, and there was no need to rescue pilots behind enemy lines. However, after the major incident, the risk of military struggle along the southeast coast increased sharply, and our military, which was on the offensive end, had to face this.  Practical issues, especially in recent years, with the upgrading of Air Force hardware and equipment, the Air Force has begun to transform from a homeland air defense type to a modern Air Force with both offense and defense. The rescue of pilots has become an important task to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Air Force in the future.

    For this reason, the focus of airborne troop drills in recent years has been to break into enemy lines in small units to rescue our military¡¯s crashed pilots.

    However, according to the actual drills of the airborne troops, the existing equipment system cannot meet the rescue mission of pilots behind enemy lines. The main reason is the range of the helicopter. The short distance is fine. Once it goes beyond Hangzhou, the difficulty of mission execution will increase.  Increase exponentially.

    The problem is that the battlefield will never be based on your assumptions. Frequent emergencies are the norm. Therefore, an aerial platform with a long range, high speed, strong concealment, and the ability to take off and land on complex terrain has become the dream of the airborne troops.  of detachment infiltration equipment.

    The zb-225 tilt-rotor aircraft meets the needs of the airborne troops from every angle, and therefore has received unanimous recognition and support from them.

    However, compared with the special needs of the Army and Air Force, the Navy is called all-round. 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 20s and 30s of the 21st century.  , and these types of ships require the services of various types of carrier-based aircraft to form strong comprehensive combat capabilities.

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

    Naturally, this series of special models must be fully equipped, but the problem is that there is no domestic model that can meet the requirements of all the above carrier-based models at the same time. At this time, the ZB-225 tilt-rotor aircraft appeared in the sky, and the Navy  Looking at it, yo~~~ This little Jiji is really good. No matter her figure or appearance, she is suitable for riding the wind and waves and sailing. What else can I say, tilt-rotor Jiji I want it!
