Of course, compared to the other three turbofan No. 8 transport planes in the hangar, these three propeller transport planes also have their own flaws, that is, the speed of these three propeller planes is not as fast as the other three. In terms of practical ceiling, it is far from being able to compare with the other three, but it is only slightly higher than the old model No. 8 transport aircraft.

However, even so, these three No. 8 aircraft have also received the attention of their factory and even the military. After all, although the speed and service ceiling of these three aircraft are similar to those of the old model, their carrying capacity and However, where the voyage is placed, the military cannot be indifferent.

Of course, compared to the three electric No. 8 transport planes, the other three turbofan No. 8 transport planes are not bad, although they are far from comparable to the electric No. 8 transport planes in terms of range.

However, compared with the old model No. 8 transport plane, it is far too much.

The maximum flight speed of this turbofan No. 8 transport aircraft reached 982 kilometers per hour.

The maximum flight altitude is 15,000 meters, and the practical ceiling is 12,000 meters.

The maximum full-load endurance is 7,500 kilometers.

The maximum practical load is 26 tons.

Therefore, the practicability of this No. 8 transport aircraft is also very high, but for this turbofan No. 8 transport aircraft, neither the military nor the manufacturer pays much attention to it.

After all, compared with the No. 9 transport aircraft transformed by Tiangong Technology, these two aircrafts are similar in size, but in terms of performance in all aspects, there is still some gap with the No. 9 transport aircraft transformed by Tiangong Technology.

However, the military's interest is not high. This does not mean that this aircraft has no other future. That is, in terms of civilian use, this aircraft still has a very large use, so this aircraft manufacturer has not given up. For the test flight of this aircraft.

Of course, compared to these two remodeled No. 8 aircraft, the aircraft manufacturer is actually more concerned about the new aircraft development plan that their factory has just submitted.

According to the submitted data, their factory is preparing to develop a large electric transport aircraft for military and civilian use, and it is a large six-engine electric transport aircraft with a carrying capacity of about 110 tons.

Of course, because of this plan, this aircraft factory has just submitted it. So far, although their company is also making efforts in various aspects, hoping for approval from the higher-ups, in fact, their company does not have much confidence in this plan. .

After all, a large transport aircraft has now been successfully developed in China, and its performance is also good, and it can even be electrified to improve its transport capacity.

Therefore, for their aircraft factory, the most important task at present is to conduct test flights of these two aircrafts and collect various data.

For example, today, the three electric No. 8 transport aircraft of this factory have a very important test flight mission. If this test flight mission can be successfully carried out, then the next electric No. 8 aircraft will It will definitely be mass-produced.

And this time the task content is to carry out the supply and airdrop mission of a base on the northwest plateau border, and the supply mission performed this time is to fly with a full load of 50 tons of supplies, that is to say, three electric No. 8 transport planes , Flying a total of 150 tons of supplies to the northwest border.

Although yes, the mission this time is very difficult. If the old model No. 8 transport plane goes there, the accident rate will definitely be very high. After all, the environment on the plateau border is very complicated.

The plateau is not only thin in oxygen, but the temperature is also very low, and even fly over many snow-capped mountains and areas with very changeable wind directions.

So if the old No. 8 transport plane is going there, the pilots on the plane have already made all preparations.

But this time, the test pilots of the three electric No. 8 transport planes who are going to the plateau border for resupply, or the crew has full confidence in these three electric No. 8 planes.

After all, compared with the old models, first of all, the fuselage and fuselage strength of the three electric No. 8 transport aircraft are naturally stronger, so they are naturally safer.

At the same time, the power used is not fuel power, but electric power. Naturally, the power of the engine will not decrease due to the thinning of oxygen in the plateau.

Most importantly, since the operating systems of these three electric aircraft have also undergone many improvements, the operation is more convenient, and the control of the aircraft is also easier.

It is precisely because of these reasons that the crew members are more confident in completing this mission.

As time goes on, the mission will start soon. The captain of the entire fleet, the chief test pilot of No. 1 unit and his own crew boarded the No. 1 electric No. 8 aircraft, while the other two The No. 1 crew and the No. 3 crew also boarded the No. 2 and No. 3 aircraft one after another.

And not long after, the three planes left the hangar and flew into the blue sky smoothly.

However, at this time, the interior of the three electric No. 8 transport planes did not carry cargo, but was empty. Therefore, the running distance of the three electric No. 8 planes was very short, and none of the take-off distances exceeded six. 100 meters.

For this mission, they will first fly the plane to a base not far from their factory, load supplies and add spare batteries, and then go to the base on the plateau border.

Since their factory is not far from the base where the supplies are loaded, they reached the sky above the base in just ten minutes. Afterwards, three electric No. 8 transport planes all landed in the base smoothly.

And the personnel at the base naturally began to load the three No. 8 planes with cargo.

For this series of operations, the crew members of these three planes seemed so relaxed, even when the planes took off and landed, the pilots were very relaxed, and even during the flight, the pilots chatted relaxedly and happily. staring at the sky.

Of course, their chat content is naturally related to Tiangong Technology.

Since the No. 8 transport plane was not added this time, nearly 50 tons of supplies will be loaded on it, so the whole base is very strange about these three brand-new No. 8 planes, but they didn't ask much, and even exchanged information with each other. , There was not too much discussion on these three planes. After all, as the personnel of this base, they are naturally very clear about military secrets, and these three new-type No. 8 transport planes.

Obviously it is a military secret, so they naturally don't discuss it too much, even the middle and high level of the base don't discuss it too much. After all, they are naturally more clear about this aircraft than the people below.

While the personnel at the base were loading the three electric No. 8 planes, the crew members of the three planes were chatting enthusiastically about the three planes.
