Take Off My Aviation Era

Chapter 852: Low-cost flexible manufacturing

Some people think that the 18.2 tons of aviation fuel output is not much, at best, it can only add fuel to six F-8IIs or three Su-27s.

However, this value has made quite a few people in the Air Force very satisfied.

It is necessary to know that the H6’s aviation fuel carrying capacity reaches 37 tons, but the quantity that can be output is only 18.5 tons, and the range is only about 5,500 kilometers, and the combat radius is only slightly more than the 1,500 kilometers of Su-27. 1800 kilometers.

This index is no longer a short leg for a special aircraft designed to provide air support and logistics support for combat aircraft, and it will almost become a burden.

On the other hand, it was developed from Yun-15MAX to Yun-15, with a full-loaded maximum range of 7,200 kilometers and a combat radius of 3,000 kilometers, which can fully meet the development needs of the Air Force in the next ten years.

After all, the Air Force is actively expanding the scale of the Su-27 series of heavy fighters. Coupled with the J-10 fighters that are about to complete the development and are about to enter the intensive test flight phase, the number of domestic three-generation fighters will usher in an explosive growth in the future.

Under such circumstances, a tanker with a combat radius that is only a fraction of that of a fighter aircraft is obviously difficult to meet the actual needs of the future Air Force's offensive and defensive integration.

What's more, Yun'you-15 is also more advantageous than Hongyou-6 in comprehensive cost.

Yes, regardless of the fact that the H6 is improved based on the mature H6, but after careful calculation, the overall overall operating cost is much higher than that of the brand-new Y/O-15.

It stands to reason that this should not happen. After all, the H-6 has been groping at the Northwest Aviation Plant for nearly 30 years since the Imitated Tu-16 bomber in the 1960s. Not to mention that you can grind the iron rod into a needle, but you should also grind things. For the sake of meticulousness, at least every aspect should be thoroughly familiar.

In fact, Northwest Aviation Factory really has nothing to say in this respect. They are familiar with every part of H6. Even many masters who touch the parts with their eyes closed can accurately tell the difference tolerance. How much, without him, I have been doing most of my life, and I have practiced this skill.

If this is not the case, the Air Force would not be interested in the Explosion VI at the beginning, in order not to make this power multiplier, which is capable of punching the fist farther, completely independent, so as not to be controlled by others at critical times.

As a result, when compared with Yun’s Oil-15, the Air Force was taken aback from top to bottom. It doesn’t matter whether the performance is good or bad, but in terms of manufacturing cost, the brand-new Yun’s Oil-15 is actually better than the mature oil. 6 is nearly 20% lower.

You must know that the oil boom 6 uses many of the manufacturing techniques of the H 6 manufacturing technology, and almost 60% of the parts above can be interchanged; and the Yun\\ Oil-15 is almost brand new from the inside out except for the Yun 15 plus. Yes, not to mention the widening up and down, even the engine has been increased from two to four.

It can be said that it has been changed from the inside to the outside, and it is a new and proper model.

It stands to reason that the Houyou 6 that uses mature technology should have a lower purchase cost than the brand-new Yunyou-15. The result is the opposite.

The leader of the Air Force was very puzzled, so he visited Tengfei Group and Northwest Aviation Factory on the spot. I didn't know it. This was really shocked.

I thought that the two aviation companies were about the same scale and their strengths should be inseparable. However, I found out that the concepts, technologies, and processes adopted by the two aviation companies are almost the same in the sky and the underground.

The Northwest Aviation Plant’s H6 uses more than 60% of H6’s mature technology and production technology, which indeed reduces costs. However, the key to this cost reduction depends on who is compared. Compared with traditional aviation plants, it is true, but compared with Ascendas Group. It’s not enough.

Because 95% of Ascendas Group's production technology of Yun's oil-15 uses the production process of Yun-15.

What does this show?

Ascendas Group can save 95% of the cost of fixtures, molds, tolerance measurement and other aspects in the manufacturing process, and only need to invest a certain amount of funds on the other 5% to solve all production problems.

The Northwest Aviation Plant can only use 60% of the existing fixtures, molds, and tolerance measurement tools on the H-6 production line, and the remaining 40% need to be re-made, due to the particularity of the aerial tanker and the fact that it is not huge in the air force. Many specific molds and fixtures are estimated to be eliminated and scrapped when used up.

It is precisely these things that account for a large amount of production costs in the production of the Houyou 6.

In contrast, Ascendas Group does not need to consider these at all. Although there are differences, Ascendas Group will try to apply these specific fixtures, molds, and tolerance measurement tools to the production and processing of other models, and it will continue to shine.

And this is the flexible manufacturing technology of aircraft that Ascendas Group began to research and gradually apply to aviation production in the mid-1980s.

When Ascendas first applied this manufacturing technology, although it caused a sensation in the industry, it was not followed by a wide range of reasons. The reason is that the one-time investment in this manufacturing technology is too large.

Take, for example, the flexible fixtures commonly equipped in Ascendas Group's aircraft production lines. This type of fixture that uses vacuum to absorb workpieces and can be automatically adjusted according to the shape of the part is only a small part of the size of a shoe box and costs 200,000 yuan.

And to make a traditional tooling fixture may not even cost 30,000 yuan.

In such a comparison, other aerospace companies praised that Ascendas Group is indeed a pioneer in pursuing technological trends in China, and then...then...there is no more.

The aviation factories are not stupid. The problems that can be solved with 30,000 yuan can only be spent 200,000 yuan to do it.

Therefore, in the mid-1980s, the products of other aviation factories were still very competitive in cost~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After all, the technical cost of the production line of Ascendas Group during that period was extremely high and could not be reduced at all, so at that time Ascendas Group also does not face these aviation factories head-on, but looks for air strikes that are not covered by the major aviation factories, and conducts differentiated operations.

For example, drones, transport 6 small transport aircraft, transport 15 series light transport aircraft, transport 16 special modified aircraft, TM-9 small business jets, etc.

However, with the passage of time, 30,000 RMB molds from other aviation factories have been made batch after batch. Over the years, with the rise of materials and the fluctuation of currency exchange rates, the increase in production costs has not fallen, but has been compared over the years. It has risen a lot before.

The 200,000 that Tengfei Group hit with a single hammer that year has already been lower than the cost of molds made by other aviation factories for 30,000 yuan after years of cost dilution.

Under this trend, the cost advantage of Ascendas Group is immediately apparent. Coupled with years of continuous research on flexible processing and pulsating production lines, and consistent cost control, Ascendas Group is no longer Wuxia Amon. Guan Yu back then was the same Guan Yu.

When Zhuang Jianye saw this, his eyes rolled, why did he not kill Jingzhou to grab the site?
