Chapter 1126

The black nose is short but strong, and above it is the cockpit. Then it rolls round, and the massive fuselage goes straight to the tail, until the T-shaped vertical tail is erected.

There is a slight convex arc on the back of the body. Although it is obvious, it does not have the convex central wing box like the back of yun-17 body.

It's lower, smoother and more integrated with the fuselage.

The wide wing has several degrees of sweep angle, with the roar of four turboprop engines rotating under the wing. Even if it is still some distance away from the airport, it still gives people an inexplicable shock.

But when this strange large-scale four engine transport plane approached, the bright red flag on its tail, the words "CAAC" on its body, and the logo of "golden helmet" in its middle gave people another hope beyond description.

"This This This is... "

Looking at the slowly landing transport plane in the sky, the heavily armed forces were stunned for two minutes until they saw the "golden helmet" sign on the fuselage. Then they got excited and regained their mind. They looked at the "golden helmet" unit leader standing upright beside them and asked: "our latest imported strategic transport plane?"

Xue Weidong didn't know about the transport plane they had just experimented with. If they studied it deeply, they would not be wrong. After all, there must be a major epidemic after a major disaster, and there must be chaos after a major epidemic, which has become an iron rule for almost two thousand years.

Because of this, how to stabilize the people's will in a short time after the disaster, so that the safeguard measures can be put in place at the first time, is more arduous and the most urgent work than simply blocking the Yangtze River and protecting the fertile land.

Obviously, air transportation has a unique advantage in this respect, so the yun-18 of the Second Artillery came, and the yun-18nb, which has just carried out experimental equipment in the "golden helmet" troops, also came.

The leaders and cadres of all the troops on the scene saw yun-18nb, just like the one in the dream. They couldn't pull out their eyes. There was no way. Who could make yun-18n a real transport plane!

This alone has already made the cadres of the heavy armed forces at a loss. When Xue Weidong said that this transport plane is still purely domestic, his excitement is even more obvious.

Now, without waiting for the cadres of the heavy armed forces to speak, the leader of the security forces over there directly asked Xue Weidong, "it looks like the size of yun-18, doesn't it?"

Xue Weidong nodded solemnly: "it's OK, and it's not much better than yun-18. The maximum take-off weight is 124 tons, the empty weight is 62 tons, the maximum load is 38 tons, and the range is 9200 kilometers in the case of no-load; the range is 5800 kilometers in the case of loading 20 tons of goods; the range is 4600 kilometers in the case of loading 30 tons of goods; the range is 3740 kilometers in the case of loading 38 tons."

"Maximum takeoff weight of 124 tons, maximum payload of 38 tons? My God, isn't that catching up with IL 76? "

As soon as Xue Weidong's words came to an end, a military cadre over there made a exclamation. You should know that the domestic il-76md strategic transport aircraft imported from Russia claims that its maximum carrying capacity is 46 tons. But usually, in order to ensure the range and safety, its carrying capacity is about 40 tons. In this way, the yun-18nb with a carrying capacity of 38 tons is almost the same as Il-76.

The problem is that the maximum take-off weight of yun-18nb is only 124 tons, which is far less than the maximum take-off weight of 190 tons of il-76md.

What does it mean to achieve a load equal to that of a strategic transport aircraft with a smaller take-off weight?

The design, materials and technology of yun-18nb can only be achieved by crushing Russian Il-76 completely. How can those present not be surprised to realize this?

As a result, Xue Weidong waved his hand with a smile: "after all, the Il-76 is a strategic transport plane. Our yun-18nb is at best medium-sized."

After listening to this, I don't know why there was a voice of relief in the room.

Yes, the Il-76 is also a strategic transport aircraft. Even if the yun-18nb is powerful, it's a bit terrifying to reach the level of Il-76 all of a sudden.

After all, before yun-18, China couldn't even make an aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of 80 tons. Now it's up to 124 tons. It's not that these Army leaders and cadres can't figure it out. They really don't have the courage to think about it.

But just when these people felt that they had fallen back to reality from the cloud and had not yet adapted to it completely, Xue Weidong's next sentence made everyone, including the cadres of the heavy armed forces, not calm: "so, our yun-18nb can transport a T-72 tank in the way of full combat weight, but the Il-76 can't, no way, who let our yun-18nb warehouse The width is 4.5 meters, which is much larger than 3.5 meters of Il-76.... "
