Chapter 1345

To manufacture an airplane is actually the same industrial process as manufacturing a laptop or a mobile phone.

In the case of a successful product, building an airplane is like putting together a jigsaw puzzle, slowly piece it together according to the picture.

Of course, the scale of this jigsaw puzzle is very large, and it is extremely difficult to piece together. There are millions of parts of different models, and even these parts have different processes, numbers, and materials, but they are assembled into various flat structures. part.

Fuselage, wings, empennage, engine, cockpit...etc.

Although under normal circumstances, the aircraft is only divided into five parts: fuselage, wing, empennage, landing gear and power plant, but in actual construction, the aircraft is huge and each part will be disassembled.

For example, the fuselage of an aircraft will be decomposed by engineers into several large parts such as the nose, front fuselage, middle fuselage, middle and rear fuselage, front section of rear fuselage, rear section of rear fuselage, and hatch. Each large part will be decomposed into small parts by the responsible team, and each part has a corresponding process to manufacture and protect.

The empennage also includes the vertical empennage and the horizontal empennage. Generally, aircraft manufacturing companies will hand over these empennages to different manufacturers, and then send them to the final assembly factory for assembly, but the intelligent manufacturing factory of Kyushu Technology can make up for this shortcoming.

Because each tail, its production and manufacturing, can be achieved to the extent that "no one" knows, after all, at the very beginning, it is impossible for the designer to be sure that the tail he designed will be manufactured.

Moreover, after these steps are simplified, it is only the process of aircraft manufacturing, and it only refers to the process of manufacturing aircraft according to the design requirements.

It only refers to the manufacture of airframe components, component assembly and final assembly of the whole machine, without involving other parts of the aircraft.

Other important parts of the aircraft, such as aero-engines, airborne equipment, hydraulic systems and other equipment, if it is another aircraft company of Blue Star, will hand over these parts to other excellent company factories around the world for R\u0026D and manufacturing.

After the manufacture is successful, these components are placed on the already built aircraft frame for installation.

"From process preparation, to equipment manufacturing, parts manufacturing, part assembly, final assembly, inspection and testing, and final assembly off the assembly line. Perhaps in today's world, only our company is so wonderful that it has finished the production and installation of all aircraft parts, and then Get it in the wind tunnel and test it.

If there is a problem, the loss will be more than hundreds of millions.

In the follow-up, we need to check the parts and parts for problems. I hope there will be no major problems with the seals, otherwise it will be too troublesome. "

Luo Yongshan, Chief Engineer of the Moon Chaser Starship Project of Kyushu Science and Technology, said with a serious face.

And Gu Qing listened to this old and prudent academician, and nodded with deep feeling: "Design, research and development, and manufacturing according to traditional techniques not only involve material science, bionics, fluid mechanics, Dozens of disciplines such as dynamics, physics, mathematics, etc.

Moreover, the things used in aircraft manufacturing are different from the coordination technology and a large number of process equipment used in general machinery manufacturing to ensure that the manufactured aircraft has an accurate shape, and then manufacture a large number of special equipment required in the aircraft production process according to different types of aircraft. Molds, special manufacturing tools.

But we have a simulation laboratory of Lingjing ecology. Now 90% of our Kyushu Technology's physics-related experiments will be tested in this simulation laboratory, so that the intelligent program AI and supercomputing can be used for these tests. Trillions of experiments were performed to find errors with a very low probability under normal use conditions.

Moreover, after the virtual experiments, these experiments will also be carried out in real-life experiments, and all the detailed data of each real-life experiment will be fed back to the experimental server of the spirit environment ecology.

At the same time, there is an intelligent program AI Tiangong to assist, so that these data can be highly unified and matched.

So what we are doing now is the largest experiment that virtual crosses reality. If only relying on virtual experiments can completely match the level of real experiments, then all the experiments related to machinery and physics of our Blue Star will save more than 60% Material resources. "

Hearing Gu Qing's words, Luo Yongshan, the engineer of the Moon Chaser Starship, also sighed.

"Yes, when virtual and reality can communicate with each other from the perspective of experimental science, then this virtual world will soon become our second world.

Lingjing is making the vision of our predecessors a reality. I didn't expect our generation to see it. "

Because he is the project chief engineer of the Moon Chaser Starship, Luo Yongshan knows more than ordinary people.

The so-called virtual laboratory, as long as the finished product of the project that this laboratory is fully responsible for can complete the wind tunnel test, then Kyushu Technology can start a real unmanned manufacturing mode.

In the actual aircraft manufacturing process of other Guo Jiahe institutions, a set of manufactured parts must first be assembled into relatively simple structural parts, such as wing spars, wing ribs, and bulkheads.

Then the structural parts and a set of parts are assembled into large and complex components such as wings, vertical tails, and noses.

After the assembly of components is completed, a complete aircraft frame is assembled according to the requirements of aircraft engineers, and the laying of engines, landing gear, cables and conduits of various systems, and the installation of antennas and accessories are all in place one after another.

On an assembly platform in the wind tunnel, the warehouses carried by trucks are transported here, and then these warehouses are opened by mechanical claws, revealing the aircraft parts inside.

Subsequently, engineering robots and other machinery and equipment began to be disassembled and installed, and a large mechanical arm with a diameter of several meters was operating in mid-air, helping these robots and equipment to assemble and manufacture aircraft.

At the same time, there are countless sensors working all the time, running inspection and testing throughout the entire manufacturing and assembly process.

Under the control of these mechanical creations, the parts were assembled and placed one by one, just like playing with building blocks, and an airplane soon appeared on the platform.

The flat forward-swept wing design has a total length of 27 meters and a wingspan of 15 meters. It has a very sci-fi cockpit, as well as mounted missile weapons and hidden weapon bays. Special painting.

Like a game console, more like a so-called fighter jet.

After the plane was assembled, staff and engineering robots came to the stage to organize the equipment and warehouse.

Everyone looked serious, for fear of seeing extra screws on the ground.

In this particular case, engineering robots all bowed their heads.
