"Pioneer" opens a new path for the development of general aviation
The general aviation industry is an important symbol of comprehensive national strength and a powerful engine for economic and social development.
"Accelerate the construction of general aviation infrastructure, gradually open low-altitude airspace on a pilot basis, accelerate the cultivation of the general aviation market, and encourage general aviation consumption." In 2016, the State Council's "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Development of the General Aviation Industry" became the "detonation" of my country's general aviation industry. The "firing stone" of the "blowout" development has also brought unprecedented opportunities for the development of light aircraft.
"Building star products, forming independent brands, and detonating the general aviation market", with many years of research and development experience, Special Aircraft "smell" business opportunities. The development of the aviation industry began to pave the way.
It is the first time to introduce the modeling design technology of the automobile industry - the oil-slime model design technology in the field of aircraft design, and to optimize the painting of the fuselage shape, so that the aircraft lines are beautiful and visually striking; The steering column is arranged on both sides of the instrument panel, which greatly improves the operating space of the driver and the occupants; for the first time, the aircraft is equipped with a racing sports seat, which makes the ride comfortable and adds a high-end experience...
"only by thoroughly understanding the technology can we dare to innovate, break the inherent research and development model and the original supply chain system, and carry out full-market operation. The process is very painful, but we have achieved it, and we have a great sense of achievement." said project manager Wang Liangwei.
"Consumers can afford to fly more, and then we can truly achieve commercial success." Liu Chong, technical manager, said, "AG50 uses No. 95 gasoline as fuel, can fly nearly 200 kilometers in one hour, and consume about 16 liters of fuel. , about the same as a normal car."
"Today, AG50 has successfully obtained the type certificate, and got this 'ticket' to enter the market. I believe that in the future, it will show its talents in many fields such as entertainment experience, aviation sports, agricultural and forestry operations, flight training and private flight." Zhao Xiajun, deputy director of the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, is full of confidence.
"Light Harnessers" do their best to break through the bottleneck
On September 9, 2021, the strength test room of the Special Aircraft Institute gave a warm applause. The last static test of the AG50 "Tail-sinking Landing Ultimate Load Test Condition" was successfully passed, marking the successful completion of the static test of the AG50.
At this moment, among the happy crowd, Wang Xueming in the corner seemed calm, but he was more excited and excited than anyone else. Since the AG50 adopts an all-composite material structure, the company has basically zero experience in composite material design before this. Wang Xueming took up the heavy responsibility of composite material structure design and led the team to explore the design and verification method of composite material structure for general aviation aircraft. Through continuous research, communication and analysis , experiments, and research on composite materials technology, and finally refined a set of low-cost composite material systems and design, analysis and verification methods suitable for navigation, which contributed to the breakthrough of composite material design and verification technology in the institute.
"This set of avionics is very good, with all Chinese interface, simple operation and stable work, which is completely comparable to the existing international avionics system." On September 3, 2021, the AG50 airworthiness verification aircraft successfully completed its maiden flight, and the test pilot As soon as Huang Jie landed, he gave a thumbs up to Deng Chen, the person in charge of the avionics system who was waiting anxiously. Until this time, Deng Chen finally let go of his gripping heart and showed a long-lost smile. He spent too much effort on this new domestic avionics system.
A large number of test flights have shown that this avionics system has achieved a balance between low cost and high performance, and is currently being gradually promoted to other light sport aircraft.
"Dancers" escort flight safety
At 17:45 on February 20, 2022, when the test pilot reported to the ground commander in the air that "all the three configurations of the AG50 aircraft were successfully recovered from the spin test flight, and the spin subjects were successfully completed", Deputy Technical Manager An Binghui finally breathed a sigh of relief. As we all know, spin test flight is one of the most difficult and risky subjects in test flight. If it is slightly wrong, the consequences are unimaginable. An Binghui started research and planning 4 months in advance, and finally sorted out a set of reasonable and effective plans, including detailed pre-flight theoretical training, test flight ground drills, and other aircraft tail spin test flight training plans to ensure that the test pilots are in the test flight. In the past, he was proficient in the tail spin test flight technology, and he knew all the movements, and finally successfully conquered this "hard bone".
The parachute opening test is a high-risk subject, and it is the first verification in China. The matching of speed, attitude and parachute opening time is very important. Jiang Pengcheng led the team to make careful calculations and repeated deductions to determine the optimum, and formed the parachute opening test verification plan, organized and solved a number of technical problems in the system specialty, and strongly supported the AG50 aircraft test and flight test work.
"Retrorunners" race against time to achieve their goals
"The aircraft completed its maiden flight mission as planned, and all systems are working normally and in good condition!" Chief test pilot Huang Jie's sonorous and powerful report made the scene full of jubilation... The anxiety and fatigue caused by the "two-line battle" seemed to be wiped out for the first flight in an instant. The joy brought by success is scattered in the vast mist of Zhanghe.
2020 is a critical year for the development of the AG50 project and a key year for achieving the overall goals of the project. However, a sudden epidemic at the beginning of the year disrupted the rhythm of the development of the AG50 aircraft project.Military Drone Swarm
The project team "forces" the progress with the first flight node. For the first flight node, the WeChat and business network platforms are used to hold regular project work meetings every week to troubleshoot problems, implement responsibilities, and strengthen outsourcing management, control and implementation.
Xu Ling, the project manufacturing manager, lived directly at the final assembly site, rushing for time and progress. Under the circumstance of ensuring the project progress and the "two-line battle" of epidemic prevention and control, she led the final assembly team to overcome many difficulties, and finally completed the final assembly with quality and guarantee nodes. work tasks, to gain more time for the follow-up flight test work.
Project planning manager Fu Xiaofeng insisted on implementing the project WBS-based plan management, hierarchical and dynamic management and control, and strictly managed the entire project plan, which provided a guarantee for the realization of the first flight of the proof-of-concept and airworthiness certification aircraft.anti drone laser system
Special flyers turn the "bills" of technical barriers into "lists" to overcome difficulties, and use the spirit of "pioneering" to open up the way for the development of my country's general aviation industry.
