Chapter 102 Production Preparation
When Yang Fenghao said that he only had less than two months to prepare, many people's expressions turned to regret.
Although the aircraft for the air show do not have to be finalized. In fact, it is a common practice in countries all over the world to show the models that are undergoing test flights. However, no matter what, it is still necessary to ensure that the models have the necessary characteristics. Basic stability and reliability.
Originally it’s about showing your face, but it would be bad if your butt is exposed.
However, it is already mid-September, and they have not even started manufacturing the prototype of the improved turbojet 14.
It seems difficult to catch up...
But no one is willing to do so.
It would be fine if no one mentioned it, but after Chang Haonan mentioned the matter of participating in the air show just now, this idea has taken root in everyone's mind.
“I think Comrade Chang Haonan’s idea is completely feasible.”
After a long time, the deputy chief designer Liu Ming at the other end of the room was the first to speak:
"We can make two preparations for this matter."
"If the test of the improved turbojet 14 goes well, then after installation, we can at least catch up with the tail end of the air show, which is enough for us to conduct a flight show . ”
Hearing this, the people in the 606 institute showed some embarrassed expressions.
The words "all goes well" have never happened in China's aviation power field.
Although this time the improvement work is progressing very quickly with the help of strong foreign aid, the expectations set by everyone are still relatively realistic.
However, Liu Ming naturally prepared a second plan:
“In addition, even if the testing work of the improved turbojet 14 has not been completed by then, we can also settle for the next best thing and use the old engine. The plane transferred to the ground for a ground display, which can be regarded as giving China a chance to win.”
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became lively again.
"This should be feasible..."
"Indeed, if the original turbojet 14 is only used for transitional flights..."
"The ground demonstration is also here. At least it shows that even if we don't have the help of the Americans, we can still build the aircraft..."
Everyone is engaged in the military industry, and they have some understanding of the current situation. .
In the conflict at the beginning of the year, facing a powerful enemy at its peak, we were indeed at a disadvantage.
So now we need an opportunity to boost people's hearts and morale.
The Xiangzhou Air Show is obviously a good choice.
Yang Fenghao also turned to look at Chang Haonan:
"What do you think?"
Chang Haonan's plan is naturally to complete the simulation test of the new engine as quickly as possible, and then in one step Arrive at the air show.
But he never likes to talk too much, and the plan proposed by Liu Ming also takes into account various situations and there is no problem, so he still nodded:
"Let's Be prepared for the best and prepare for the worst.”
After a pause for about a second, he continued to explain:
“That is to say, we must use the fastest speed to carry out prototype production and testing of the new turbojet 14 engine, but we must also do a good job that can only ”
Yang Fenghao, Liu Ming and Yan Zhongcheng had a brief exchange and all expressed their agreement.
"Then, I will communicate with my superiors about this matter." Yang Fenghao's tone became serious:
"The 606 Institute paid attention to the docking with the 410 Factory. The two The production schedule of prototypes for testing needs to be improved.”
Yan Zhongcheng handed the document he had just signed to the secretary next to him, then stood up:
"No problem, because this improvement only involves the compressor part, so the 410 factory only needs to re-manufacture according to the new plan. Just the compressor part is enough, I will handle the docking work myself."
"..." As the instructions were issued, the entire August 3rd project team started to get busy again.
According to Yang Fenghao and Yan Zhongcheng, there is actually nothing Chang Haonan needs to do during the prototype production stage, so he can rest for a few days.
After all, anyone can see that during this continuous period of time, he is actually the one with the biggest workload.
"You are now a major contributor to our August 3rd Project. If I tire you out, Lao Du will probably come to me to fight for your life."
Yang Fenghao is holding a tea cup. , said to Chang Haonan cheerfully.
Since he took over the charge of the 83rd Project, it has been nearly ten years since he was as happy and relaxed as he was recently.
Although they discovered two design flaws in the wing and engine in just over two months, the problem was solved quickly and easily because of Chang Haonan.
Chang Haonan did not reject the kindness of the two seniors, but he still made a new request:
“It’s okay to take two days off, but I still want to find time to go to Factory 410 to take a look at the aviation industry. "
In his last life, he didn't have much knowledge about the aviation manufacturing field.
As a military screw, this is understandable. He only needs to complete his own work.
But now, as his influence on the entire Chinese aviation industry is growing, there are naturally more and more things that need to be paid attention to.
Of course, for the original turbojet 14, the manufacturing process and material level are not considered shortcomings - after all, there is still a more backward design level to cover.
But for the improved turbojet 14 and the turbofan 10 that must be overcome in the future, production and manufacturing are a completely unavoidable problem.
You must plan ahead.
Although Yan Zhongcheng didn’t know Chang Haonan’s thoughts, he still nodded decisively:
“You are the main designer of the new turbojet 14 after all, so of course there is no problem in going to the 410 factory. But if we want to enter the production workshop, considering safety issues, no matter who we are, we must follow the arrangements of the person in charge of the workshop.”
......
Thanks to the work of the digital design team, the improved compressor has been fully parameterized during the design process. Therefore, the connection between 606 Factory and 410 Factory was very smooth. Chang Haonan only took a rest After two days, I was told that the production of the prototype had officially begun.
The person responsible for taking Chang Haonan to visit the production process was Zhong Shihong, who had met him once before.
The latter is also a member of the critical team for the turbojet 14 modification, but because Chang Haonan was mainly responsible for numerical calculations and blade design, he did not have much contact with him.
“Is this the production of new compressor blades?”
Chang Haonan looked at the CNC machine tool in front of him. A piece of blank was being processed inside, but he couldn't see what the product was yet.
"Yes, it is a compressor rotor blade." Zhong Shihong nodded:
"Actually, you also know that because the compressor is a cold-end component, it is generally not difficult to produce. It is relatively large and mainly focuses on milling processing. The key points are mainly machining accuracy and stress relief. Relatively speaking, hot-end components such as turbines are more difficult to process, but there are currently no production arrangements in this area. ”
< br>"It doesn't matter, I just came to intuitively experience the production process of aero-engines, so that when designing in the future, the convenience of manufacturing can be taken into consideration in advance."
"It would be best if possible. ”
"..."
While the two were talking, Chang Haonan noticed with the corner of his eye that in an inconspicuous corner of the workshop, there seemed to be a lot of finished products piled up.
But the blade detection area should be in the other direction.
“What are those?”
Chang Haonan pointed in the direction of the corner and asked.
Additional updates will be added in the afternoon as usual
