Chapter 905: ‘Wu Diao’ helicopter and H-6KS

Turkey did this.

Coupled with Iraq's strong protest, the Arab League made the decision to send the Arab coalition forces, which stirred up the world.

Oil futures rose sharply, easily breaking through $30 per barrel, and the rise was amazing, with no sign of stability.

The NATO meeting was held, and the world's focus was on it.

Long before the meeting, the media around the world were speculating whether this would trigger NATO's mutual defense clause, which would turn into a tit-for-tat between the Arab coalition forces and the NATO group, thus triggering the outbreak of the S3 season.

The whole world suddenly changed, and the storm was about to come.

The news about the outbreak of the S3 season spread all over the world.

Oil, natural gas, gold, food, military industry and other sectors all rose sharply.

But at this time, after the NATO meeting, the NATO Secretary-General made it clear at the press conference that this would not trigger NATO's mutual defense clause, calling on both sides to solve the problem politically instead of resorting to force, which could not solve the problem.

And said that the two sides should not be on the verge of a fight, which is irresponsible to world peace.

As soon as the news came out, the sectors that had been rising sharply were falling, and the sectors that were falling were rising.

After all, as long as it is not a major country that is involved, the current level of the two sides is at most a local war, and it is far from being called the S3 season.

Liu Tao looked at the news and showed a gloating look.

However, he did not pay attention to the outside world, but started to develop heavy helicopters.

The tonnage of a helicopter is its take-off weight, that is, the total weight that can fly, that is, including the load.

Specifically divided into light helicopters (total weight 2~8 tons), medium helicopters (total weight 8~15 tons), and heavy helicopters (total weight of more than 20 tons).

Each light helicopter has different tonnage subdivisions, which is a subdivision field. For example, those below 2 tons are also called ultra-light helicopters, and light helicopters are divided into 2 tons, 4 tons, 6 tons, 8 tons, etc. Medium helicopters also have different tonnages.

Heavy helicopters are also called ultra-heavy helicopters when they reach a total weight of 40 tons.

Liu Tao is going to develop a heavy helicopter this time.

He developed it based on his own special helicopter, the 'Ray Sculpture'.

All the upgrade experience and points accumulated during this period were used by Liu Tao on his 'Ray Sculpture' helicopter.

In the hangar, a faint light flashed.

The whole helicopter underwent visible changes, and it suddenly became much larger.

Liu Tao looked at the virtual panel and understood the relevant data.

Length 30.1 meters, rotor diameter 18.3 meters, height 5.7 meters, rotor area 260 square meters, empty weight 7000 kg, load weight 15180 kg, cargo hold capacity can carry 55 people or 15700 kg of cargo, normal take-off weight 21000 kg, maximum take-off weight 22680 kg, engine is 2 turboshaft engines, power is 2× 6100 shaft horsepower (3400kw), maximum fuel capacity 1740 liters. Maximum speed 380 km/h, cruising speed 280 km/h, climb rate 10.1 m/s, practical ceiling 5800 m, maximum ceiling 7000 m, maximum range 2500 km, combat radius 1250 km, cruising radius 1250 km, rotor load 47 kg/m2.

The avionics system, display screen, etc. are similar to the "Ray Eagle" helicopter.

Even the weapon system, radar system, etc. are similar, but the weapons that can be carried are more selected and can carry more weapons.

Liu Tao named this helicopter "Wudiao" helicopter, and heavy helicopters can be developed on the basis of the "Wudiao" helicopter in the future.

After downloading the drawings of this helicopter, Liu Tao arranged for Guizhou Aircraft Group to produce the first batch of ten "Wudiao" helicopters.

Then he handed over the first "Wudiao" helicopter to the Flight Test Academy for test flight, and he transferred a "Ray Eagle" helicopter as his own special aircraft.

Although the ‘Wu Diao’ helicopter has a larger load capacity, it does not need to be that big as Liu Tao’s private plane, because the smaller the tonnage, the lower the cost of use under the same mileage conditions.

He may change his private plane into a light helicopter in the future.

In April, the spring is bright and beautiful.

Liu Tao’s private plane landed on the runway of Xi’an Aircraft Corporation.

“Academician Liu, welcome!” Xi’an Aircraft Corporation General Manager and Party Secretary ‘Liao Fei’ personally greeted Liu Tao.

Liu Tao smiled lightly and said, “General Manager Liao is too polite!”

They are not from the same system. Panshan Group can be said to be a separate system, while Xi’an Aircraft Corporation belongs to China Aviation Industry Corporation. Panshan Group and China Aviation Industry Corporation are on an equal footing.

With the continuous reform, the Third Ministry of Machine Building was changed to the Ministry of Aviation Industry, and later it was changed to the Ministry of Aerospace Industry with the Ministry of Aerospace Industry. Two years ago, it was withdrawn and changed to a general company, that is, it was changed to China Aviation Industry Corporation and China Aerospace Industry Corporation.

Xi’an Aircraft Corporation is affiliated to China Aviation Industry Corporation.

Except for Guifei, the rest belong to China Aviation Industry Corporation.

Guifei and Xi'an Aircraft Corporation have been cooperating closely over the years. Relying on orders from Guifei, Xi'an Aircraft Corporation has been doing very well.

Xi'an Aircraft Corporation has even submitted reports more than once, requesting to be included in Panshan Group.

Comparing people makes people angry, and comparing goods makes people throw them away.

Others don't know what happened to Guifei before, but Xi'an Aircraft Corporation, which is in the same system, doesn't know?

How many engineers of Guifei were supported by Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation. At that time, Guifei was far inferior to Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation.

However, after Guifei was incorporated into Panshan Group, it immediately upgraded its weapons and rebuilt a modern and large 011 aviation industrial base, with new factories, new dormitories, new production lines, and welfare benefits far exceeding those of Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation.

Unfortunately, Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation's application report fell into oblivion. Not to mention being approved, there was no response at all. The higher authorities ignored Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation.

Liu Tao came to Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation this time because the H-6 strategic bomber was launched, and he was invited to attend the launch ceremony.

H-6 was developed by Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation in the late 1950s with reference to the Soviet medium jet bomber Tu-16. In 1968, the H-6 equipped with the domestic turbojet 8 engine made its first successful flight, and in 1969, the H-6 was mass-produced.

H-6 is mainly responsible for tactical bombing, reconnaissance, anti-ship, patrol and surveillance and other tasks. It is the core of the bombing force of the Chinese Air Force, and it continues to improve power, avionics and airborne weapons and develop a variety of special platforms.

This major modification of the H-6 is the latest improved version of the H-6.

In recent years, China has been continuously improving the H-6. In just ten years, more than ten improved versions have been produced. With some minor repairs and modifications, 26 English letters are almost not enough.

This major modification of the H-6 is named H-6K/S.

Compared with the basic model of the H-6, the H-6K/S can be said to be truly reborn. It can almost be considered a new strategic bomber, because it has little to do with the basic model of the H-6.

Both the aerodynamic shape and the fuselage structure are redesigned, as is the power system. It uses the latest turbofan 20 engine developed by Panshan Group, and the avionics system also uses China's most advanced avionics system, which is personally led by Liu Tao.
