Chapter 208: The Last An-124 Transport Plane


At noon, he also dined at a restaurant run by the Nikolaev shipyard, and while he was resting after eating, Shen Huan found Zhang Hong.

Shen Huan whispered: "Zhang Gong, I have something I want to talk to you about, I don't know if it's convenient for you now?"

” Zhang Hong was also a little surprised, how could Shen Huan suddenly look for him, but his mind was spinning fast, and he knew that Shen Huan must have something important.

So Zhang Hong smiled and said, "Okay, let's go outside and talk!"

” The two walked out of the dining room and into the garden outside.

After finding a secluded place, Shen Huan whispered: "Zhang Gong, I don't know if you have heard, in fact, in a certain aircraft factory in Ermao, there is an aircraft that is very useful to us. ” Zhang Hong looked at Shen Huan suspiciously, "What are you talking about?"

” Shen Huan looked around at no one, and then whispered: "The prototype of the Su Sansan carrier-based fighter, T10K, I heard that there is one in the Antonov aircraft factory where we are going in the afternoon." ” Zhang Hong said in surprise: "How do you know?"

I've never heard of this yet.

Do you mean, let's make a purchase from the Vukland?

I'm afraid Vulkland won't necessarily sell it to us. ” Shen Huan nodded and said, "That's right!"

Although our country has no plans to develop aircraft carriers in the near future, I believe that there will be one in the future.

And the development of aircraft carriers cannot be without carrier-based aircraft.

However, we in China have not engaged in carrier-based aircraft, and it will be more difficult to do it on a completely blank basis, but if we get the prototype of this Su-33 carrier-based fighter, we can learn from its design!

” Zhang Hong said in surprise: "Yes, although we don't need it now, we will definitely have it in the future."

If you can buy this plane back, it will definitely be a great achievement.

You're right, I'll go to the leader in a while and see if I can do it!

” Shen Huan knew that this chief trainer later also presided over the design of the carrier-based version of the Falcon trainer aircraft, so he was almost certain that Chief Engineer Zhang Hong must also have a dream of an aircraft carrier in his heart.

Shen Huan said happily: "Great!

If it really happens, then our country's aircraft carrier road will definitely be much smoother in the future!

” Zhang Hong also said with emotion: "Yes, the current five permanent members, there is no aircraft carrier in our country!"

As a big country, we will have an aircraft carrier sooner or later, and we only have the road to develop aircraft carriers independently, but unfortunately the Varyag Vukran was not sold to us, but there is still a glimmer of hope, that is, the Pearl of the Baode Shipping Company, if it can be photographed, there will be a chance to learn from the design of this aircraft carrier in the future.

Of course, it would be even better if you could buy the T10K back this time!

” Shen Huan smiled and said, "I believe we will succeed." ” Zhang Hong stood up and said, "Without further ado, I'll go to the leader!"

” There wasn't much time to rest, so Shen Huan and Zhang Hong went back to the restaurant after talking about it, and Zhang Hong quickly found the leader of the delegation and told the leader what Shen Huan said.

Unexpectedly, the leader immediately agreed, it seems that everyone wants to do some work for China's aircraft carrier cause!

But fortunately, the regiment leader did not carefully investigate how Shen Huan knew this information.

Otherwise, Shen Huan is really hard to explain.

At two o'clock in the afternoon the delegation left on time, led by people from the Vukran side, to the Antonov Design Bureau.

Dmikry, CEO and chief engineer of the Antonov Design Bureau, warmly received the Chinese military-technical delegation.

Shen Huan knew that this chief engineer was actually one of Antonov's shareholders, who had worked in the Antonov Design Bureau for many years, had rich experience in the design and manufacture of transport aircraft, and was a rare top aviation talent, but unfortunately he was later fired by the Wukelan official because of his close relationship with Da Mao.

Later, Antonov's chief designer and CEO, Dmikri, who was dismissed by Vuklan, and Jinchenko, the chief designer of the An-225, also defected to China, and also prepared to continue to engage in large-scale transport aircraft projects in southwest China, and even tens of thousands of people from the Madasic company were rumored to come to China as a whole.

It's just that that's a long time later, and now the two companies Antonov and Madasich are not to the point of bankruptcy.

For such a master-level figure, Shen Huan naturally admires it.

Of course, in the building of the Antonov Aircraft Factory, Shen Huan also saw the An-124 Ruslan transport aircraft like a giant in the sky!

Dmikri was also extremely proud of such an aircraft, and he was extremely excited to introduce this masterpiece of the Antonov Design Bureau to more than 100 people of the Chinese military-technical delegation.

"Dear friends from China, this is one of the most outstanding products of our Antonov Design Bureau at the moment, the An-124 Ruslan large transport aircraft!

It is a large transport aircraft in the world second only to the An-225!

Its maximum take-off weight is 420 tons, the standard load capacity is 150 tons, and the maximum cargo can be carried by 170 tons, which is larger than the C5 Galaxy transport aircraft of the United States, and the carrying capacity is stronger, and the maximum take-off weight of the C5 of the United States is only 370 tons, and the maximum carrying capacity is only 120 tons.

Dmikri excitedly introduced.

At this time, Zhang Hong suddenly asked: "Chief Master Dmikri, your An-124 should be the last one, right?"

” Dmikri laughed and said: "Yes, this is the fifty-sixth An-124, and it is also the last, and this project will end this year."

However, if there are still customer needs, we can also consider continuing production!

” Shen Huan is also looking at the giant in front of him, but unfortunately China does not have a very urgent need now, buy this kind of transport plane back, after all, it is too big, it belongs to the offensive strategic air force needs to have, China may need it in the future, but now there will definitely be no plans to introduce it.

It's just that the D18T turbofan engine hanging under its huge wings is good, and China must be interested.

This engine, with a thrust of twenty-three tons, was developed by the Progressive Machine-Building Bureau, as well as a thrust reverser.

China has been developing large transport aircraft, but it is much smaller than the An-124, and it is the same level as the Il-76, after all, it is still impossible to do it in one step.

The engine used in the later Y-20 was also a D30KP-2 turbofan engine imported from Russia, but its bypass ratio was small, and the thrust was only half of that of the D18T turbofan engine.

More than a decade later, there was news that Vulkland might transfer D18T turbofan engine technology to China and set up a production line in China.

Of course, it is installed for larger transport aircraft, and the C929 passenger aircraft can also be used.

Of course, in the eyes of all the members of the Chinese delegation, this large aircraft is indeed perfect, its cargo hold is divided into two levels, the upper cabin can accommodate a total of six crew members and one cargo handler, and even 88 passengers.
