Chapter 307 (2/2)

Therefore, we have strengthened the overall structure of the aircraft, especially the wing and other key parts, so that the wing of the aircraft can bear the weight and thrust of tg-s002 engine.

At the same time, because the load capacity of the aircraft will be greatly improved after the engine is replaced, we have also carried out a series of modifications to the interior of the aircraft, and even used our special materials of Tiangong technology in many places in the internal structure.

Therefore, after the transformation, the self weight of the No. 9 transport aircraft is much heavier than the original. In the original time, the self weight of the aircraft was about 30 tons, but after the transformation, the empty self weight of the aircraft reached nearly 40 tons, nearly 10 tons heavier than the original.

However, in terms of the maximum oil load, although there is a certain increase after the transformation, the increase is not much, about 25 tons.

However, the maximum carrying capacity has been greatly improved, from 25 tons to about 35 tons.

In other words, the maximum takeoff weight of the aircraft has reached about 100 tons at this time.

In addition, the practical ceiling of this No. 9 aircraft has been much higher than the original, reaching 15000 meters, and the maximum cruise altitude is 10000 meters.

There are also problems with the speed and endurance of the aircraft. In these two aspects, the aircraft has also been greatly improved.

In terms of flight speed, before the transformation, the maximum flight speed of this aircraft was less than 600 km, but now the maximum speed and speed of this aircraft can reach 800 km. At the same time, in terms of cruise speed, it also reached 600 km / h. finally, in terms of endurance, before the transformation, I remember that the maximum endurance distance of this aircraft is less than 8000 kilometers, but now after the transformation, the maximum range of the aircraft has reached about 10000 kilometers.

It can be said that the performance of this No. 9 transport plane has changed greatly before and after the transformation. ” Wang Bin, Qiu Tuan and others looked at the transport plane and introduced some level data of the constructed No. 9 aircraft to them.

After listening to Wang Bin's introduction, Qiu Tuan and others were full of smiles. Obviously, he was very satisfied with the performance of Tiangong technology after the transformation of this No. 9 transport aircraft. After all, with a load capacity of 35 tons, it can carry most of the army's armored vehicles. Even some light and medium-sized tanks already have the carrying capacity, How can this not satisfy them.

You know, this No. 9 aircraft is just a tactical transport aircraft, not a strategic transport aircraft. It can have such a carrying capacity. In terms of tactical transport aircraft, its carrying capacity is not the strongest in the world, but also has been advanced in test flight.

So he said: ”Mr. Wang, you Tiangong technology are very satisfied with the transformation of this No. 9 aircraft. If this and future test runs are successful, maybe we will ask you Tiangong technology to help transform a number of No. 9 aircraft. After all, the transportation capacity of the old No. 9 transport aircraft is still not enough, and there are also some deficiencies in speed and range.”

At the same time, his heart is also very much looking forward to Wang Bin and Tiangong technology to help transform more No. 9 transport aircraft. After all, it has a carrying capacity of 35 tons and a maximum flight speed of 800 kilometers. In this way, this transport aircraft will be of great use. It can not only be used as a medium and long-range early warning aircraft platform, but also be transformed into a tanker.
