夜行者的故事很“冻人”

入冬后,凛冽硬朗的北风成了试验队驻地的“特产”,经历过的队员无不大呼“酸爽”。按照首飞当日计划,大家如往常一样凌晨两点看风,四五点钟出发,赶往试验机场。彼时,气温降到了一天中的最低点。

从驻地走出,抬头望见漫天的星斗,然而这城市中稀缺的美景并不能留队员们驻足欣赏,趁着还没哆嗦得牙齿打架,大家纷纷跳上试验队大巴,队员宋祥正在车上点名。喊过“到”的队员在座位上蜷缩起来,熬了夜的则抓紧时间眯上一会儿。

车内外的温差让车窗被一层雾气遮盖,这与车内安静的氛围相得益彰。朝后排望去,一面窗户上被擦出一个圆形“视野”,倚靠着座位扭头向外望去的是副总设计师刘柳,周围闭目养神的队员将他衬托得很醒目。窗外漆黑一片,刘柳目不转睛,若有所思。

1小时后,车停了,队员们迅速下车走向机库、塔台、跑道……一个个忙碌的身影在黑夜中穿行。此时,在室外站立不到3分钟,衣服就会被寒风打透。很多队员将围巾裹在脸上,戴个帽子,只露出两只眼睛,但丝毫不妨碍工作的开展。

掀去苫布、推出飞机,检查参试设备,展开通讯天线,输入飞行参数......试验队员们严肃紧张,有条不紊地按照技术程序进行着准备工作。

远处只见队员王文强手握风速仪,目不转睛地测量着风速风向。主任设计师殷志宏打开机库内的大屏幕,各部位开展的工作尽收眼底。机务人员李大让在跑道起点详细检查着无人机的起飞状态,指挥员隋丽艳则在地面站放舱内一丝不苟地核对着飞行数据和试验口令,“数据就是指令,会告诉飞机怎么起飞、做什么动作、怎么降落,是每次飞行的灵魂,因此不容有误。”她耐心地解释道。

马洪忠总师在各个系统的操作人员间询问着有关事项,一一提醒着要注意的问题,手中的对讲机不时响起。“新型天鹰无人机80%是新技术,其中部分技术突破在世界范围属于首创。”他坦言,“在当今的形势下,不创新、不开拓就不能成功。因此需要大家有一股开拓创新的狠劲儿和韧劲儿。”

新天鹰的展翅令人“醉”

总指挥高文坤喜欢从跑道的一端走到另一端,这能使他冷静地思考问题。路过的车辆减慢了速度,他挥挥手说:“我不上去了,你们先过去吧。”或许起飞前的此时更需要思路的清晰和冷静。走上10多分钟,东方一点鱼肚白已经化为天色大亮。朝飞机停靠的方向望去,硕大的太阳在缓缓升起,将试验队员和天鹰无人机化为剪影,轮廓明晰。




According to the WeChat public number "Seahawk Aviation General Equipment Co., Ltd." (ID: gh_ed5c37517766) February 9 news, a vast light of the sky gradually enlarged, that is flying back after the "Eagle." The ground staff tightly locked the flight path of sight, as the line followed the ceremony as the ceremony. The moment the landing gear touched the ground, the clenched fists of the test team could not help but cheer up. Gliding speed gradually reduced, eventually, China Aerospace Science and Industry Hospitals developed a new Eagle stealth long-haul UAV precision sliding stop along the runway midline, like the proud Eagle, the perfect homing. "The first successful flight!" Walkie-talkie voice has choked, boiling crowd rushed to the aircraft, the chief designer Ma Hongzhong sweat Jin Tsui hands from the symbol of auspicious red underwear pocket took out, embraced the triumph of the new " Eagle ", kissed a kiss, released a rare weekday excitement and joy.

A month later, Eagle took off again and returned accurately. After 10 days, the third perfect flight of typical performance verification draws a successful conclusion for the scheduled flight test mission of the three hospitals.



Night Walker's story is "frozen people"

After winter, the biting north wind became the "special product" of the experimental team station, and all the crew members who had experienced were "sour and cool." According to the plan of the first flight, everybody looked at the wind at two o'clock in the morning as usual, starting at four or five o'clock and rushed to the pilot airport. By that time, the temperature dropped to the lowest point of the day.

Out of the station, looking up to see the sky, but the city's scarce beauty and can not stay players to enjoy, taking advantage of not trembling tooth fight, we all jumped test team bus, team member Song Xiang is named in the car . Screaming "to" the players curled up in the seat, boil the night then seize the time blind on for a while.

The temperature difference inside and outside the car window was a layer of fog cover, which is the quiet atmosphere of the car complement each other. Looking back toward the rear, one side of the window was rubbed out of a circular "vision", leaning against the seat turned out to look at the deputy chief designer Liu Liu, his eyes closed repose of the players to set his eye-catching. Dark out the window, Liu Liu stare, if thoughtfully.

An hour later, the car parked, the players quickly get off to the hangar, tower, runway ... ... a busy figure walking through the night. At this point, standing in the outdoors less than 3 minutes, the clothes will be thoroughly covered with cold winds. A lot of players will scarf wrapped in his face, wearing a hat, exposing only two eyes, but did not prevent the work carried out.

Lift the cloth, launch the aircraft, check the test equipment, expand the communications antenna, enter the flight parameters ... ... Test crew were serious and methodical in accordance with the technical procedures for the preparatory work.

I saw a far player Wang Wenqiang hand anemometer, intently to measure the wind speed and direction. Director Yin Zhihong open the hangar in the big screen, all parts of the work done panoramic view. Aircraft crew Li Dayong at the beginning of the runway to conduct a detailed examination of the UAV takeoff state, the commander Sui Liyan in the ground station in the bay to check the meticulous flight data and test the password, "the data is the instruction will tell the aircraft how to take off and do what action How to land is the soul of every flight, so there must be no mistake, "she explained patiently.

Master Ma Hongzhong interrogated relevant matters among operators of various systems, one by one to remind the attention of the problems, hands in the walkie-talkie sounded from time to time. "80% of the new Eagle UAVs are new technologies, some of which are world-class breakthroughs." He admits that "in today's world, we can not succeed without innovation and without pioneering. The harder and tougher child. "

New Eagle's wings is a "drunk"

Commander Gao Wenkun like to go from one end of the runway to the other, which allows him to think calmly. Passing vehicles slowed down, he waved and said: "I do not go up, you go first." Maybe before taking off at this time more need clear and calm ideas. Embark on more than 10 minutes, the East a little white already turned into a bright sky. Towards the direction of the aircraft looked down, the huge sun slowly rising, the pilot and the Hawk UAV into a silhouette, clear outline.

Several team members used a few sturdy cables to connect the UAV with a test car. After some operations, the cables were all disconnected. Wang Wenqiang, a member of the team, once again raised the wind instrument. The instrument rotated quickly and he took out the intercom Say a few words close to the mouth, we all gathered in a bus on the bus. "The wind is too big and it takes a while."

The wind has reached level 3, you can take off! Eagle seems to hear the command in the walkie-talkie, suddenly rushed forward and continued to accelerate. Fly up! This is the first time Eagle has been in close contact with the sky.

Flat-flying, turning, the data on the big screen in the command lobby, as in the simulation conducted in the laboratory, the flight path exactly matches the design result. We can not help but wonder if this is a true flight.

At the moment when the plane stopped on the runway, a warm applause broke out in the hall. Wang Wenjuan, the deputy chief designer, turned his head and did not want people to see the tears across his cheeks.

"Successful, successful!" Ma Hongzhong, chief engineer said excitedly.

On the first flight day, the control technology team was appointed on-site to timely sort out hundreds of dynamic test cases. They had time to eat out of the crowded around the clock, at 3 o'clock midnight are still intently to analyze the data. Thirsty to drink cold mineral water, hungry to eat a cookie, which is the test team "selfless" epitome. For this moment, team members work together through the hard 4 years.

Aerospace research UAV, late start, time is short, demanding, and this aircraft in the world only a handful of countries have research and development capabilities, the domestic technology is very immature, new research team accounted for more than 50% of new share, real Few people engaged in aircraft development, everything is new. In addition, there is a tremendous need for project funding and there is no national support. However, team members embed a cutting-edge technology into the "Eagle" body and continue to carry out the overall design of various technical solutions in accordance with strict and meticulous workmanship And risk analysis, each design parameter is determined after many rounds of calculation and analysis, the application of each cutting-edge technology have been tested after thousands of ground tests. In the end, it created a new type of stealth long-haul UAV that made the world astonishing and satisfying people.

In celebration of the meeting, Ma Hongzhong chief said: "It has countless times when it first flew the feeling, four years after the real experience, and this dedicated effort to" space dream "" Eagle dream "into reality The feeling is really great, drunk from the heart!


几名队员用几根粗壮的电缆把无人机同一辆测试车连接起来,一番操作后,电缆全部断开,队员王文强再次举起测风仪,仪器旋转的速度很快,他掏出对讲机贴近嘴边说了几句话,大家都聚集到了一辆中巴车上。“风还太大,需要等会儿。”

风已达到3级,可以起飞!天鹰似乎听到了对讲机中的命令,突然向前冲起来并不断加速。飞起来了!这是天鹰第一次与天空亲密接触。

平飞、转弯,指挥大厅里大屏幕上的数据如同在实验室中进行的仿真,飞行航迹与设计结果完全吻合,大家不禁有些怀疑这是不是真的飞行。

在飞机在跑道上停稳的一刹那,大厅里爆发了热烈的掌声,副主任设计师王文娟则扭过头,不愿让人们看到划过脸颊的泪水。

“圆满成功了!成功了!”马洪忠总师激动地说。

在首飞日,控制技术小组现场受命,及时梳理动态测试用例数百项。他们曾把吃饭的时间挤出来夜以继日进行仿测,半夜3点还在目不转睛地分析数据。渴了就喝冰冷的矿泉水,饿了就吃一口饼干,这便是整个试验队“忘我”的缩影。为了这一刻,队员们携手走过艰辛的4年。

航天人研究无人机,起步晚、时间短、要求高,并且这种飞机在世界上只有极少数国家具备研制能力,国内相关技术极不成熟,研究队伍中新人占比超过50%以上,真正从事过飞机研制的人寥寥无几,一切都是新的。此外,项目经费需求巨大,没有国家支持……但队员们将一项项尖端技术嵌入“天鹰”体内,并按照严慎细实、精益求精的工作作风,不断进行着各项技术方案的总体设计和风险分析工作,每一项设计参数的确定都经过多轮的计算和分析,每一项尖端技术的应用都历经千百次的地面试验验证。最终,造出了一架让世界惊艳、国人满意的新型隐身长航时无人机。

在庆功会上,马洪忠总师吐露出心声:“曾无数次想象它首飞时的感觉,4年后真切地体会到了,这种全心血付出将“航天梦”“天鹰梦”变为现实的感觉真的太棒了,由心地醉了!”
