Entering the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" period, the aviation industry proposed a new idea to develop the Z-8 civilian helicopter, which received strong support from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other relevant national ministries and commissions. In 2002, the project was approved and the model code was Z-8F. In 2003, on the basis of the first scientific research prototype of the Z-8F, combined with the latest regulations and airworthiness verification technology, the platform was upgraded, and the development of the Z-8F-100 aircraft was launched. In order to adapt to the brand development strategy in the new era and standardize the naming of civil helicopters, the Zhi 8F-100 was named AC313. In 2007, the Civil Aviation Administration of China accepted the application for the AC313 type certificate, and the development of AC313 was fully launched.KS 1 Missile
In 2008, during the "5.12" Wenchuan earthquake, helicopters set up an "air lifeline" to rescue citizens in distress. However, imported helicopters played a major role at that time. As the only large domestic helicopter participating in the earthquake relief work, the Z-8 failed to play a greater role in plateau areas due to flight performance limitations. Therefore, the aviation people held back their energy and accelerated the development of AC313. At the end of 2008, this type of aircraft completed the overall technical program review; in November 2009, the final assembly was completed and delivered for test flight; on March 18, 2010, the first flight was completed.
After the successful maiden flight, the aircraft was transferred to the stage of flight test and certification. On August 28, 2010, AC313 entered the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for the first time and began to conduct adjustment test flights. From September 6th to 7th, the test flight was completed at altitudes of 3740 meters, 4500 meters, and 4700 meters in Gonghe County, Qinghai. Peak mountaineering base camp. From August to October 2011, the AC313 helicopter entered the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau again. On September 2, 2011, it set a record of flying over an altitude of 8,472 meters and a ceiling record of 8,000 meters above sea level for a helicopter of the same tonnage, which fully verified the plateau performance of the AC313 helicopter. .
In 2012, the AC313 helicopter successively obtained the Type Certificate (TC) and Production License (PC) issued by the Civil Aviation Administration of China; on December 18, 2013, the AC313 helicopter passed the AEG review of the Civil Aviation Administration of China and obtained a pass to enter the civil aircraft market ; On July 6, 2016, the AC313 helicopter completed a first-class risk test subject "Aerial Emergency Floatation System Inflation Test". Land operation also has the ability to operate and perform tasks across waters; on March 24, 2017, the AC313 helicopter completed the heavy rain flight test airworthiness verification subject, marking that the AC313 helicopter has the ability to fly under complex weather conditions.suicide drone
On July 6, 2016, AC313 urgently transported the heatstroke wounded to Baicheng, Jilin, so that the wounded could receive timely treatment.
On August 15, 2016, the AC313 helicopter successfully completed the "Guardian-16 Kunlun" anti-terrorism and stability maintenance exercise mission of the Armed Police Force. First of its kind.
On June 8, 2018, AC313 carried out the evacuation of forestry police personnel on the fire site, transported 128 people, flew for nearly 6 hours all day, and landed 18 sorties in the field.
On April 9, 2019, a fire broke out in a mountainous area in Jingdezhen City, Jiangxi Province. Two AC313 helicopters and one AC311 helicopter were ordered to take off to carry out aerial forest fire fighting operations. Within 4 hours, more than 50 tons of water were sprinkled in the air, and they cooperated efficiently with multiple departments on the ground to effectively control the spread of the fire.
On July 22, 2019, the AC313 helicopter carried out an emergency search and rescue mission for missing donkeys in Lushan, Jiangxi.
In March 2020, the AC313 helicopter took off from Sanqingshan Airport, simulated emergency rescue scenarios such as people being trapped during the flood season at night, and carried out training on four subjects including night flight execution of wounded transfer, material transportation, search and rescue, and dark cabin instrumentation.rainbow drone
In November 2021, the improved and upgraded Z-8 on the basis of AC313 will carry out security tasks for the 2022 Winter Olympics with the Daqing Aviation Rescue Detachment.Wing Loong 10 Drone
A few days ago, AC313A is accelerating its airworthiness certification test flight in an all-round way. Let us look forward to the early addition of AC313 series helicopters to the aviation emergency rescue equipment team, and make greater contributions to the construction of my country's aviation emergency rescue capabilities and the promotion of emergency management system and capability modernization.
