The scope of seaworthiness management of Feipeng-class transport ships was ultimately divided into the maritime department. After all, ground-effect aircraft are legally within the scope of the ship.

August 28.

17 related companies including China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, Northern Industry, Feipeng Group, Snail Industry and Postal Group held a secret industry development seminar.

The various specifications of new ground-effect transport ships were first clarified, such as the container size that can be transported.

Next is the issue of Feipeng-level procurement license. Since ground-effect transport ships involve a lot of sensitive technologies, only Feipeng Group and Postal Group are currently allowed to purchase commercially.

At the seminar, in order to avoid accidents such as ship collisions after the increase of ground-effect aircraft, the maritime department specially planned new routes and planned ground-effect routes in remote sea areas as much as possible.

In addition, Feipeng Group took the lead in establishing a ground-effect transport ship driving training course, which cooperated with the postal and military forces. The first phase had more than 300 students.

Such special treatment is envious and jealous of other domestic private express delivery companies, but jealousy is useless.

The Feipeng-class is designed by the Suiren System, and most of the technical patents and core components are also developed and provided by the Suiren System.

Postal services are state-owned enterprises and are enterprises that can be controlled.

If other express delivery companies purchase Feipeng-level, there are many safety hazards. The leak problem alone will cause them to block the possibility of purchasing Feipeng-level.

In the past two years, Feipeng Group has been developing very rapidly in express logistics, investing a lot of new technologies and huge funds.

For example, in the super highways in Guiyang, Yunnan, Guiyang and Sichuan Province, in addition to the Guiyang-Bijie super highway that has been put into use, and the Sichuan-Tibet super highway that has been officially invested in, Feipeng Group itself has also invested in three new super highways.

In the eastern region, large-scale investment in suspended light rails was made. On the North China Plain and Northeast Plain, Feipeng Group used the previous water supply pipeline to build suspended light rails directly above the water supply pipelines and lay solar panels on the light rails.

Among the many logistics companies, Feipeng is the second largest outlet after the postal service, with the largest transportation volume, with a unit transportation cost of only 42 to 45% of the national average.

Compared to SF Express, which purchased a large number of aircraft and did air transportation, Feipeng chose another road, using technology and funds to build roads and other infrastructure, and the Feipeng-level recently put into use, it has formed its own super logistics system.

Recently, Feipeng Group and Postal Group have reached a strategic cooperation, and Postal Group will also invest in a batch of hanging light rail and super highways, and the two parties will share super highways and hanging light rail.

Obviously, hanging light rail and super highway with independent road rights are a bonus for logistics companies.

For example, if you go to Huizhou by express delivery in Shanmei, you can get it directly in half an hour. You don’t have to worry about traffic jams or waiting for traffic lights, or you don’t have to pay highway fees. Other logistics companies can’t do this at all.

Of course, the Suiren Group is also actively participating in large aircraft.

Demon City.

Inside COMAC's assembly factory.

Jin Dalong, chairman of COMAC, Zheng, and Chang Fuguo, president of Snail Industry, and Yang Guang, chief engineer of C919 aircraft, are inside the assembly factory.

At present, the C919 project has been almost progressing. It is estimated that test flights can be carried out around 2014.

However, today Chang Fuguo came here, but he was not here to see the C919 project.

Although Snail Industry represents the Suiren Group and participates in the design and supply of parts of C919, COMAC is the dominant party in this project.

The real cooperation project between the two parties is actually the FL1 project, code-named "Fei Lian Plan". The purpose of this plan is to develop a truly super-large commercial aircraft.

According to the design plan of Snail Industry, the maximum transportation volume of Feilian transport aircraft will reach about 260 tons.

In terms of size, the length is about the same size as the Airbus A380.

The full load takeoff weight is 602 tons, the empty weight is 243 tons, and the maximum load is 260 tons. This load ratio has approached 43%.

The maximum payload of the Airbus A380 is 152 tons, the full load is 575 tons, and the maximum payload ratio is 26%.

This design plan also made the engineers of COMAC feel numb to their scalp. After all, the size of this Feilian transport aircraft is slightly larger than that of the A380, but the payload is increased by hundreds of tons, which is obviously a bit whimsical.

When this project was launched last year, COMAC also looked distressed, but the Suiren Group invested 35 billion yuan in initial investment, and they were reluctant to leave the money, so they could only bite the bullet and go on.

However, with the advancement of technology and materials, COMAC discovered that the Feilian transport aircraft is really possible.

The application of a large number of new materials has led to the gradual decrease in the dead weight of the aircraft, and the decrease in the dead weight. Under the premise that the output power remains unchanged, the payload will increase, and one will rise and the other will decrease.

However, domestic large aircraft had serious heart disease before, and large aircraft engines were unable to be mass-produced. It was not until this year's C919 project that I got a medium- and large aircraft engine that could barely be used.

As for the large aircraft engines needed by Feilian transport, there is no such thing as a result.

The Snail Industry, which strongly supports the Feilian project, seems to be unwilling to let COMAC complete the design of other parts as soon as possible, and Aerospace Engine will be handed over to the Suiren Department.

Yang Guang, the chief engineer who was nervous and confused, could only design the Feilian transport aircraft as the financial owner ordered.

It was not until the Feipeng-class was born that he suddenly realized after watching the Feipeng-class engine.

"Mr. Chang, your company really plans to use a rocket engine?"

Chang Fuguo nodded: "The Storm Rocket engine we designed is not only intended to be used on the Feipeng class, but also on transport aircraft."

Yang Guang did not object to this. After all, the Feipeng class, which prepared four Storm Rocket engines, can push the Feipeng class with a load of 3,561 tons to a height of 3,000 meters and fly at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, which is a very terrifying engine in itself.

From the perspective of thrust, it is more than enough to push the 602-ton Feilian transport aircraft to fly at high altitudes connected to the ** flow strata.

The Storm engine is an oblique detonation rocket engine. It not only outputs very violent power, but also can increase the thermal efficiency of the fuel by about 30%.

With the temperature difference power generation module, the overall thermal efficiency is about 50% higher than that of conventional jet engines.

The improvement of thermal efficiency means that the unit fuel cost decreases, and the volume and weight of N20 high-energy fuel are significantly smaller than that of aviation kerosene.

With so many advantages, if Yang Guang is unable to complete the design and planning, he would be really incompetent.

Jin Dalong, who was standing by, knew that he could not admit defeat now. Suiren paid and produced technology. If COMAC did not show some results, it would be really unreasonable:

"Mr. Chang, I have discussed it with General Manager Yang. Actual production will start next month. The prototype should be able to be completed in the second half of next year."

Chang Fuguo said, "Well! You can do it as soon as possible. Although the ground-effect transport ships transport a large amount and the speed is quite fast, some areas still rely on transport aircraft."

Jin Dalong, who suddenly thought of a problem, reminded him with some concern: "Mr. Chang, if you use a rocket engine, it will be difficult to get a foreign airworthiness certificate."

"It doesn't matter, the domestic market is enough, and there is no international airworthiness certificate, which does not mean that international routes cannot be flown." Chang Fuguo said with no concern.
Chapter completed!
