Chapter 886 Chang Jiayao's Work Assignment
This may be Chang Haonan's busiest day since his rebirth.
After the Air Police 200 delivery ceremony, he didn't even have time to have lunch in Nanzheng, so he flew directly to Shengjing to prepare for another delivery ceremony in the afternoon.
Since Liu Gaozhuo had been promoted to the general manager of the Aviation Industry Group ahead of schedule, the representatives sent by the No. 11 Engineering Technical Team became He Ming, who was responsible for the aircraft production and assembly tasks at Factory 112, and Sun Cong, who had been Liu Gaozhuo's deputy before.
The former is considered an old acquaintance of Chang Haonan.
But the latter...
Although he was famous in his previous life, he is not very famous this time.
Chang Haonan only met him once when he was receiving the Operation Bat Hunting medal award a few years ago.
Later, his research focus gradually shifted from complete aircraft to aviation development. Later, he even became independent from the Aviation Industry Corporation, so there were naturally fewer opportunities to meet him.
Looking at the two people walking towards him, Chang Haonan cheered up and walked down the gangway:
Thanks to the relatively high cabin pressure of business jets, he just managed to rest for a while on the road and regained a little energy——
In the past, he would usually follow up a continuous period of rest with a continuous period of work.
But this time, he basically just dropped the project at hand and rushed to two shows in a row.
It's really a bit overwhelming.
"Mr. Sun, Mr. He."
Chang Haonan shook hands with the two of them respectively:
"Congratulations to both of you for achieving the iconic victory of Project 11!"
The J-11, a heavy-duty aircraft platform, will naturally continue to develop.
But as far as the No. 11 project in cooperation with Sukhoi is concerned, it will officially come to an end when the J-11B and Su-27SM are finalized respectively.
"This is not only a victory for us, but also a victory for you, Mr. Chang, and every China Airlines employee."
There was unconcealable joy in Sun Cong's face.
After some pleasantries, several people walked towards the ceremony site that had been set up in the distance.
"Mr. Sun, after the J-11B is finalized, what is your next work plan?"
Chang Hao Nan walked and looked at Sun Cong next to him.
Although there has been no formal order yet, it is basically a certainty that Sun Cong will take over from Liu Gaozhuo to be responsible for the subsequent upgrade and improvement of the J-11.
As the leader of the Aerospace Power Group, he must pay attention to the new chief engineer's thoughts.
After all, the two actually cooperate with each other.
"Right now, we will definitely continue to develop the two-seater J-11BS. Mr. Liu should have told you about this before."
Naturally, Sun Cong had no intention of concealing anything, and immediately replied:
"What's next... We have gotten some rumors from our superiors. It should be time to consider the issue of carrier-based aircraft."
"Although the Flanker is still a bit too big for most aircraft carriers and is not conducive to surface operations, we currently have limited resources and time, and it is impossible to develop a medium-sized third-generation aircraft suitable for boarding ships, so we still Let’s solve any problems first…”
After hearing this answer, Chang Haonan made some calculations.
The development process of aviation development needs to be coordinated with the aircraft. From this point of view, the next improvement direction of the turbofan 10 after the completion of production and finalization should be a special model for carrier-based aircraft.
Tentatively named it Turbofan 10H.
Of course, this is definitely a limited improvement.
The main purpose is to provide a "takeoff mode" with greater thrust, and to improve the corrosion resistance of the cold end components and the casing.
It is not difficult for Chang Haonan to increase the thrust. After all, the turbofan 10A itself is a model that has been reduced in thrust and increased in life.
Just release the previously hidden performance potential.
But the second thing still requires additional attention.
After all, a seaside land airport and an aircraft carrier are not the same thing.
While the three of them were talking, they had already arrived near the ceremony site.
Several Air Force leaders and pilots are gathering in twos and threes near the J-11Bs that are about to be delivered.
The situation is slightly different from that of Air Police 200. The ground staff around the aircraft are still technicians wearing aviation industry work clothes, not Air Force ground staff.
"Speaking of which, which unit is receiving the equipment this time?"
Chang Haonan looked back from a short distance away, and then asked Sun Cong.
The previous J-11B was not mass-produced and delivered until 2009, and the first batch of aircraft used AL31F engines. The technology was not very mature, so it was naturally handed over to the 1st Division and 1st Regiment in accordance with the principle of proximity.
But now, the J-11B is a relatively mature model, and at least there have been no major problems during the test flight.
More importantly, the 1st Regiment just switched to the J-8C four years ago. From the perspective of maintaining the combat effectiveness of the unit, it is unlikely to switch to a new model immediately.
"Two units, one is the 89th Regiment of the 30th Air Division, which is also a unit of the Shengjing Military Region. It is at Donggang Liu Xiaoyuan Airport... uh... it is Dadongou Airport, not far from us, and the other one is a little further away, the 3rd Division 9 group."
"Commander Wang's troops?"
It makes sense, but it's a little unexpected.
"right."
Sun Cong nodded:
"They have been equipped with Su-27SK before and are quite familiar with this model..."
Zheng Liangqun, who was previously in the Shengjing Military Region, has been transferred to the Beijing Military Region, and Chang Haonan had no acquaintances in the Jinling Military Region, so he did not go next to the air force comrades, but sat according to the arranged positions. The position on the left center of the rostrum——
The most popular one is of course Huai Guomo.
However, as the biggest leader, he should wait a while before he comes forward.
But Chang Haonan didn't go to anyone else, but someone else took the initiative to find him.
Just when the former was about to close his eyes and meditate, a familiar voice came from the side.
"Mr. Chang, you're fine."
Chang Haonan raised his head slightly and found that it was Zhang Jiujiang who came into view.
"Instructor Zhang?"
He was a little confused for a moment.
In any case, the flight academy seems to have nothing to do with today's delivery ceremony.
More than 20 years later, many J-11BS or BSHs have indeed entered aviation schools to serve in combat flight training missions.
But now every J-11 is a treasure, how could it be lost to training units?
However, the other party quickly answered Chang Haonan's doubts.
"No longer an instructor."
Zhang Jiujiang said as he took off his hat, put the hat badge forward under his left armpit, and sighed softly:
"I have a physical problem. I was grounded last month. I was transferred from the flight academy to the Air Force Staff Training Bureau. I will have to sit in an office from now on..."
Although this transfer is undoubtedly a promotion, Zhang Jiujiang is obviously not happy.
He still misses the blue sky.
In this situation, Chang Haonan could not do anything but comforted:
"It's better to be more stable, and even if there's nothing like this, you're almost at your age, right?"
"You forgot, although I have the title of flight instructor, I am actually a test pilot. In principle, I can fly up to 48..."
Zhang Jiujiang replied jokingly.
At this point, he suddenly changed the topic and lowered his voice:
"Speaking of which, Mr. Chang, your sister will soon be considering her graduation assignment. Do you have any... suggestions on this?"
It is said to be a suggestion, but as long as it does not obviously violate the principles, there is a high probability that this suggestion can be "converted".
"Are there any options?"
After hesitating for a while, Chang Haonan decided to take advantage of this relationship in a small way.
After a pilot graduates from aviation school, he will definitely not be released to fly solo immediately. Instead, he will undergo a round of training after entering the army.
It is somewhat similar to the training of medical students.
It’s just that you can receive wages normally during this process.
This round of allocation will most likely determine the unit a pilot will be in in the first few years of his career, or even for more than ten years.
So it's important.
"Basically...the whole army can choose, and all units are short of pilots...but female pilots cannot be assigned to bomber units."
Zhang Jiujiang replied:
"My sister's overall score is ranked 15th, and her job selection priority is very high, so you can refer to her opinion."
Chang Haonan shook his head:
"I asked Jia Yao during the Chinese New Year this year. She didn't have any special ideas. In this case, I still hope she can stay closer to the capital."
"Then...the 34th Division?"
This time, Zhang Jiujiang did it almost without thinking.
"ah?"
Chang Haonan was immediately shocked:
"A new pilot flying a special plane?"
He felt a little numb in his back.
Just kidding, the plane he took was operated by the 34th Division.
"No...it's definitely not possible for a rookie like her to fly a special plane. Not to mention her, even a 10-year-old pilot can't fly."
Zhang Jiujiang waved his hand:
"But those Tu-154M/Ds that were converted into electronic reconnaissance aircraft were actually operated under the name of the 34th Division. Although they are not as good as more advanced models, they are still passenger aircraft after all, and they are better than Yun-7 and Yun-8. We fly a lot, and we’re based in the suburbs of Beijing.”
"Special aircraft..."
Chang Haonan hesitated for a moment:
"If it doesn't touch the distribution principle, then this is the best."
