Has a large military aircraft, is not only a country’s comprehensive national strength, an important reflection of a country’s military strength is also related to the comprehensive combat capability, this area is the Chinese air force’s “short board”, but this situation will be improved. November 5, China Aviation Industry Group, announced that China-made large military aircraft in production and will be unveiled at the end of this year. This marks the Chinese Air Force will have made a large transport aircraft, in addition to enhance the Air Force’s strategic projection capabilities, but also means that China can independently for the early-warning aircraft, aerial tankers, and large-scale R & D and production of electronic surveillance plane to provide a stable and reliable platform.

Performance is better than Russian-made Il–76

November 5, in the aircraft industry anniversary of the establishment of a media conference, the aircraft industry aircraft, said Hu Xiaofeng, general manager, “Our independent research and development and production of military aircraft will be by the end of 200-ton large aircraft manufacturing company in Xi’an appearance. ” According to reports, this large, China’s largest military aircraft, from R & D to manufacturing all of the Central West, flew corporate aircraft industry alone.

Western media have speculated that China’s large military transport aircraft development program around 3-4 years ago. Because China uses a unique new technology, its large military transport aircraft and is close to international advanced level. China’s future large-scale military aircraft of the Russian Il -76 reference to the design of transport aircraft, but China’s aircraft larger, more carrying capacity, electronic equipment is very advanced. In addition, analysts believe that China’s large military aircraft also made reference to the C-17 “Globemaster” transport aircraft are designed in part. In power systems, the first possible D-30 engines, and then will use WS-18 engine, or FWS-10 engine improvement model.

At present, China’s large transport aircraft and large-scale aerial platform, primarily for the Russian transport aircraft Il -76, but because of the Russian aviation enterprises not operating properly, often fail to deliver on schedule. As early as the end of 2008, the United Kingdom, “Jane’s Defense Weekly” once revealed, China in September 2005 ordered 34 transport and IL -76 IL-4 air tanker -78. The aircraft is supposed to produce in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Russia in August 2006 decided to produce to Ulyanovsk and Ulyanovsk production line until December 2010 only after completion. China-made large aircraft, military R & D success will completely reverse the situation of large-scale aerial platform to be controlled by others.

Active transport is very limited load

At present, China’s domestic transport is mainly transported -7 and -8 models shipped. Yun -7 for light transport aircraft, mainly in the main transport personnel. Yun -8 is China’s largest four-engine turboprop transport aircraft medium-range medium-sized multi-purpose. Yun -8 transport aircraft take-off weight of 61 tons over distances up to 5600 kilometers or more, one can carry 20 tons of bulk cargo. Even after continuous improvement, but the transport -8 tactical transport aircraft belonging to its range and payload are still limited, it is difficult to deliver large and heavy equipment.

In contrast, the Air Force has more than 350 aircraft transport capacity of 50 tons of the strategic transport aircraft. Russia had 368 strategic transport aircraft, the biggest can carry 150 tons. Large 200-ton aircraft, China’s military research and development success can be armored vehicles, tanks, helicopter gunships and other heavy equipment and even rapid deployment to the “front-line battlefield.” Some of the major transport aircraft and transportation -8, -7 transport will form a reasonable match, and further improve the domestic transport system.

For a variety of “special machine” provide a platform

China-made large aircraft, military transport planes can not only act as a large-scale direct and enhance the strategic delivery capabilities, but also as an early warning aircraft, aerial tankers, and large-scale electronic surveillance aircraft and other “special machine” platform. The Chinese Air Force’s most advanced early warning aircraft, air marshals are still to -2.0 thousand in Russia IL -76 as a platform for the development of domestic aircraft, the success of large military means that the future of China’s large-scale early-warning aircraft will achieve 100% localization.

In addition, the Chinese Air Force’s aerial tanker oil -6 H-H–6 bombers are based on the original bomber’s warehouse into the fuel and ammunition storage warehouses, and to install refueling hose made of system development, so that the Air Force initially with air refueling capability. But the H-carrying capacity of fuel oil -6, and stayed in the air time with the United States and Russia and other countries there is still a large gap compared with aerial refueling.

The 200-ton military aircraft, the emergence of large means that China fully the existing aerial refueling system integrated into the large Chinese-made military aircraft, developed a dedicated large-scale aerial refueling. In addition, the domestic military aircraft and also serve as a large anti-submarine patrol aircraft and electronic reconnaissance platform for further expansion of Chinese naval and air forces, cruise range.

Link: Large Aircraft propellant “Big Air”

With the increase of air power as a whole, the Chinese Air Force has from the beginning a simple land-based air defense to both offensive and defensive “big air” changes. Domestic J -10, -11, and J H-J -7, and other new fighters, bombers loaded columns, so that the Chinese air force’s air combat and ground attack capability greatly improved. However, due to the lack of large aircraft, the airborne delivery to rely on domestic light and medium transport aircraft, as well as a few imports of large transport aircraft, which greatly restricted the Chinese Air Force strategic delivery capabilities and strategic mobility.

Thus, for China to build the “big air”, big plane is an indispensable element. Chinese military aircraft, 200-ton large emergence of China Air Force has been a reliable strategic delivery means, will become an important guarantee for the Air Force’s development and growth.
