When it comes to the Canglong J-35 aircraft development, Wu Tong never worried that her team of engineers, led by Lu Xiao and including Engineer Zhan and Professor Feng, wouldn't be able to keep up with her progress. She simply focused on the overall situation, her focus still on engine research and development.
She believed in the abilities of Lu Xiao and his colleagues. They were all top experts in the fighter aircraft field. Each of them had rich experience in the industry, and their R&D teams were maturely configured. There would be no problem in following the plan.
With the previous successful experience of the J-20 and H-20, the Xizhou Institute and the Xi'an Aircraft Research Institute both have mature experience and teams in rapid development, and have sufficiently advanced technologies and equipment. With these conditions, they can get their work done faster.
The Canglong J-35 has a clear aerodynamic layout and perfect detailed design drawings. The materials are well-stocked and supported, and there are sufficient personnel and technical equipment. The construction of the Canglong J-35 can almost be described as smooth and silky.
"Brother Lu, congratulations, the WS-B1 engine has just completed all the overall experiments. Teacher Yang and I will take the WS-B1 to the Xizhou Research Institute!" Help, the dragon takes off!
"Okay, okay, Wu Tong, we'll be waiting for you and the WS-B1 to arrive!" Lu Xiao looked at the busy and orderly J-35 assembly workshop in front of him and promised crisply: "We welcome you with the Canglong J-35!"
The Canglong J-35 is already undergoing the final installation of its landing gear, and the material used for the landing gear is the MC-4 that Wu Tong optimized a second time despite his busy schedule!
Wu Tong added an anti-fatigue technology system to it, improved the surface quality, improved the material strength, and ensured the smoothness of the structural parts, which were sufficient to withstand the huge impact force of the J-35's high-speed landing. In conjunction with the take-off and landing system they designed, it ensured that the landing gear helped the Canglong J-35 to take off and land vertically, and had a long and durable life.
Once this installation is complete, the Canglong J-35 can be declared fully finished today. He promised Wu Tong a three-day countdown, two of which were dedicated to repeated checks and flaw detection to ensure everything was flawless.
"Boss Yang and I will be in position as soon as possible!" Wu Tong smiled and looked off into the distance, seemingly catching sight of the bustling Xizhou Research Institute. Over the azure sky above the test drive, they saw their dragon take off. "Brother Lu, today is the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. I want to say a belated Happy New Year to you. We can start the countdown to our New Year's gift!"
Before they knew it, they had passed New Year's Day and entered the Gregorian calendar year 2012!
Today is the eighth day of the first lunar month, also the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. There's a saying that goes, "Children, don't be greedy, after Laba comes the New Year." They've entered the countdown to the Spring Festival. At this moment, across China, the festive mood is already brewing in every household. Those who want to offer gifts during the Spring Festival face a rather arduous task.
After the protective gear was packed and the escort transport force was in place, Wu Tong and General Yang were carried straight to the nearest military airport. The transport plane was already parked in place. After escorting Wu Tong and Yang Wei to board the plane, the escorting soldiers quickly and smoothly delivered the engine packaging box to the transport plane. The escort team followed and boarded the plane, and the transport plane glided away.
"WS-15S technology has been extended to transport aircraft. The Y-20 project team is working tirelessly on this, and we anticipate a maiden flight next year, or rather, the second half of 2012!" After the transport aircraft entered a stable flight, General Manager Yang exchanged information with Wu Tong. Wu Tong had sufficient authority, so there was nothing he couldn't tell him. He knew this because the Y-20 project team had asked him for help.
"They were originally working on the WS-20, which has a greater thrust, based on the WS-15, in order to achieve greater thrust and help the Y-20.
The Y-20 is designed to be a large multi-purpose transport aircraft that can carry out long-distance air transport missions of various materials and personnel under complex weather conditions. It is also capable of taking off and landing on short runways.
The expected range starts at 4,000 kilometers, and the expected payload is 55 tons. It takes a lot of guts to meet the required power requirements!
However, the Y-20 has been in development for four or five years and many difficulties have been overcome, but the engine is still a crucial influencing factor.
Until Wu Tong helped their 614th Institute to develop the WS-15S and the secondary optimized PLUS version used in the H-20. Its super endurance and surging power successively helped the Weilong and Kunpeng to successfully surpass the world's leading level. The data broke records several times, which gave Tang Changhong, the head of the Y-20 project team, hope. Old Tang found him directly and planned to apply the technology of WS-15S to the WS-20 they were developing.
"Old Tang is complaining about us stealing the Y-20's codename! He was planning to wait until the Y-20 was successfully developed, and then, like a hero's promise worth a thousand gold, he would fly abroad to come up with a codename for the Y-20. Hehe...Old Tang couldn't keep up, and our H-20 got the Kunpeng codename first!"
In fact, the H-20 was originally intended to use the code name "Ghost Bird" to match the so-called raptor in the international community... But they thought that this code name did not conform to the Chinese aesthetic concept, and finally named the H-20 Kunpeng with the metaphor of "wings hanging from the sky, breaking through the clouds, and flying 90,000 miles with the blue sky on its shoulders".
Kunpeng, an ancient mythical beast, is their Chinese aesthetic, and it can also echo with the Weilong, Canglong...
"Yun-20?" Wu Tong couldn't help but smile knowingly at the mention of this. She was no stranger to the Y-20. It was a popular internet sensation, and the name "chubby girl," endearing and endearing, became synonymous with the Y-20. Meanwhile, the codename "Kunpeng" was lesser-known. So, when the H-20 was named Kunpeng, she hadn't realized there was such a thing as a codename fight.
"Then wouldn't we be a little sorry to Mr. Tang?"
"That's not the case. Old Tang didn't say anything. We're moving fast, so the H-20 will be interviewed first, so naturally we'll have priority!" Mr. Yang smiled mischievously. As a participant in the H-20 and a nominal H-20 engine designer, he was proud of the H-20's rapid launch. Of course, they couldn't be blamed; it was just that Old Tang and his team were slow.
"Old Tang is really good at playing the pitiful trick. If he knew you said that, he'd be so happy. He's been waiting for you to help him conquer the WS-20!" They're all insiders, so anyone can get in if they smell a hole. If Wu Tong hadn't been busy and had a very important project on hand, and Old Tang's news was always a step ahead, he would have come to Wu Tong long ago.
However, he wasn't stingy. Wu Tong had authorized him to directly and unconditionally transfer the WS-15S technology if it was needed for other national projects. With the approval of the higher-ups, they shared the technology with him and also provided him with a large amount of T4 titanium-aluminum alloy and T5 nickel-iron blade materials, enough for him to digest for a while.
"Now that we have WS-B1, hey, if Old Tang gets wind of it, he'll probably come knocking on our door again!" As the second person to come into contact with these cutting-edge, transcendent technologies, President Yang Wei's heart felt as if he had just drunk a celebratory glass of wine, filled with pride and joy.
How lucky we are to have met Mr. Wu first!
