Chapter 1042 Crooked Mouth

week! Finally, technicians from Lochheed Martin Company were finally allowed to board the Erxiaobiao Field.

At this time, China's cracking process for the four reconnaissance aircraft has basically ended. After the technicians from Lockheed Martin came over, they began to disassemble the aircraft. The disassembly process lasted for about half a month. It was not until July that the Russian Anyi Regiment long-range heavy transport aircraft flew to Lingshui Military Airport.

Such a large pile of parts could obviously not be finished in one go. It took a total of four long-distance heavy transport flights to complete the work.

A large Russian Anchu transport aircraft carrying the parts and dismantling tools of the dismantled US military 41st surveillance aircraft departed from Hainan Lingshui Airport and flew to the manufacturer of the 41st surveillance aircraft via Manila and Honolulu. Georgia, USA, where Lockheed Martin is located.

The dismantled four reconnaissance aircraft are scheduled to arrive at the Lockheed Martin plant in Georgia on July 5th, and it will take about eight to 12 to reassemble. It will take several months to install a new and improved set of avionics for the aircraft, and the U.S. Navy and Lockheed Martin are still negotiating the cost of reassembling the reconnaissance aircraft.

Previously, on July 1, Russia's Antonov Air Transport transported some equipment of the dismantled reconnaissance aircraft from Hainan Island to Kadena Air Base in Ryukyu, Japan, without any parts of the reconnaissance aircraft itself.

Since China and the United States reached an agreement to dismantle and transport the A41 aircraft in early June, the manufacturer of the A41, Lockheed Martin, sent 12 technicians to crush the A41 into several pieces, including flattening the two wings of the aircraft, Horizontal tail and four propellers.

In addition to the fact that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was still negotiating with Mainland China on follow-up matters, even if the matter was completely resolved, Fan Wubing returned to the capital and took this opportunity to have a good rest.

While having dinner with Minister Zhang, Fan Wubing learned that the military's gains this time were not small. In addition to obtaining various information equipment and technical details of the four U.S. military reconnaissance aircraft, they also obtained the "Orion" "Some important technical information on anti-submarine patrol aircraft.

The pilot is also produced by Lockheed Martin of the United States. This is a maritime patrol and anti-submarine aircraft developed at the request of the U.S. Navy. In addition to equipping the U.S. Navy, the aircraft is also exported to Canada, Iran, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Norway, the Netherlands and other countries. It is expected that the aircraft will be in service until 2015.

The most important of them is to obtain technical information such as airborne spider anomaly detectors, under-gun anomaly detectors, Siyidao sonar receivers, data links, and cylinder electronic countermeasures equipment.

The main onboard electronic equipment of "Orion" is powerful and powerful. Omni-directional radar, inertial navigation and rigid-knife Doppler navigation systems, Omega long-range navigation systems,... flight control systems, old universal data computers and,

Gangname data processing equipment and computer control display systems, magnetic anomaly detectors, several anomaly detectors, sonar receivers, data links, and old countermeasures equipment, etc.

There is a weapons bay in the belly of the fuselage, and there are ten pylons under the wings, which can carry torpedoes, depth charges, bombs, bottom mines, mines, rocket launchers, anti-ship missiles, air-to-air missiles, etc., and can also carry a variety of Sonobuoys, water buoys and flares, etc.

This newly discovered set of technical equipment information has greatly excited the military, which is helpful for understanding the anti-submarine technology of the United States and its allies. It has great benefits and is also of great reference for domestic anti-submarine technology. In particular, it can fully understand some of the military working methods and habits of the United States and its allies, which is of great significance.

"Then this time, you have a very clear understanding of the US military's combat methods.

Fan Wubing knew that the greatest significance of this was not how much technical information was obtained, but that he had a relatively intuitive understanding of the overall combat layout and cooperative combat methods of the US military.

You must know that similar reconnaissance aircraft of the US military were highly confidential in the past, and ordinary people had no way of knowing the details inside. Now we can see them clearly, which is of great benefit in formulating targeted counterattack strategies. of.

In particular, for some technical analogies, we can also try China's own similar technology research to avoid many detours.

Another very important factor is that this technical data also introduces improved extended-range echo ranging and flexible active receiver systems, advanced magnetic anomaly detectors and advanced periscope detection radar technology. Later, the anti-submarine warfare capabilities in shallow waters and coastal waters were significantly enhanced. This technology has also fallen into Chinese hands.

Minister Zhang said to Fan Wubing with a happy face, "Although it is said that on the plane

The computer that recorded the secrets of the US military was destroyed or thrown into the sea. Some things on the plane itself cannot be destroyed. This time our gains are very big, and it will probably take a while to digest.

Fan Wubing nodded and replied, "It seems that the Americans are unlucky. They sent the most advanced electronic reconnaissance aircraft here, which gave us an advantage in vain. At present, the Japan-US alliance and some American allies in Europe, They all looked very nervous and were changing their combat codes, obviously worried that we had cracked the core intelligence and would pose a threat to their integrated defense operations."

The two people talked and talked about the large aircraft project.

"The progress of the project is pretty good. The overall blueprint has been produced, and with the motivation samples and technical information provided by Russia, plus some of the technologies we have accumulated before, it will probably be shortened if we want to come up with new motivations." In some time, I estimate that it can be completed within two years. Fan Wubing introduced to Minister Zhang, "At present, there are some problems mainly in the selection of some materials for the fuselage. We are considering using a new type of composite material to manufacture the fuselage." The body will be better than the original material, and it will have great advantages in terms of tensile strength and anti-aging. Or, in less than ten years, we will be able to see our own large aircraft.

After Minister Zhang mentioned this topic, he also felt a little excited. After all, this result can be seen within his term. He was very happy just thinking about it. He also said to Fan Wubing, "This is very good. I Waiting for your good news

But then Fan Wubing moved the topic to the civil aviation system.

"The corruption problem in the civil aviation system is very serious, which is very detrimental to large aircraft projects... Fan Wubing said.

"What basis do you have for this?" Minister Zhang was a little surprised and wondered if Fan Wubing was referring to something.

The topic Fan Wubing talked about was mainly from the perspective of Fan Airlines. At this time, the civil aviation industry was once in chaos, and the combination of power and capital was becoming common.

Similar to the telecommunications system, the civil aviation system still retains a strong sense of planned economy and is a highly monopolistic sector. Under various monopolistic features, there are a large number of administrative approval mechanisms. Once these approval mechanisms or links are lack of supervision, they will It can easily become a black hole for power rent-seeking. In the civil aviation system, even a small department will create a profitable rent-seeking space because it has specific power.

In fact, different departments of the Civil Aviation Administration involve different aspects of approval, such as domestic route operation licenses, foreign air transport enterprise route operation licenses, civil aviation enterprises and airport joint, reorganization, participation and restructuring review, civil airport special equipment use licenses, etc.

The most typical ones involve issues related to domestic air route operating licenses and the procurement of airport equipment.

In the era of planned economy, airlines required approval for any route they opened, which once gave the Civil Aviation Administration of China supreme power.

Generally speaking, the route starting station belongs to two regional bureaus and must be submitted to the regional bureaus separately. Some also need to submit to the general administration for approval. If the non-route operation season changes, aviation companies will need to report to the Civil Aviation Administration of China or the relevant civil aviation regional administration according to the jurisdiction of the route operation license they are applying for.

Routes and flight schedules are the lifeblood of airlines, but they are ultimately in the hands of a few people. In order to achieve the goal, the means used can be described as eight immortals crossing the sea. Among them, the charter business is especially serious. Without the constraints of the shell of an airline, charter companies are even more blatant in bribing relevant people.

The original intention of the Civil Aviation Administration of China to approve route approval is to approve airline qualifications, ensure passenger safety to the greatest extent, and make appropriate adjustments to avoid vicious competition between airlines.

In addition to strictly enforcing the approval system, the Civil Aviation Administration also stipulates that non-base airlines are not allowed to apply for initial routes from bases other than their bases. This means that China Eastern Airlines, which uses Shanghai as its base airline, cannot obtain initial routes from its base in Beijing.

This situation is obviously very unfavorable to Fan Wubing's Fan Airlines, so he doesn't mind talking to some powerful people when it's convenient to give them a little trouble.

In fact, Fan Wubing doesn't have much information about the other party at the moment. Otherwise, he would have used formal channels to deal with the civil aviation industry, which would have made it difficult for the industry.

As for now, we can only use the large aircraft project as a guise to show some dissatisfaction with the Civil Aviation Administration of China, which is better than nothing.

But Fan Wubing also firmly believes that as the saying goes, three people make a tiger. Once he talks too much, everyone will reach a consensus, especially the people who listen to him talking are all respected big shots.

I'll go to Boss Zhu tomorrow to talk about it. This is what Fan Wubing thought when he left Minister Zhang's office. Edition reading!
