Of course, this price is only the price of a single aircraft testing machine. If large-scale mass production is started in the future, the price will be greatly reduced. Sure enough, if the official order quantity is more than 30, it is not impossible that the price can even be reduced to less than half of the price of the testing machine. Of course, after the optimization of materials and processes, Its price can be reduced.
At the same time, Wang Bin also noticed that Qiu Shi and others attached great importance to this aircraft, so he expected that the official would be very interested in this aircraft, and even the number of purchases in the future might be beyond Wang Bin''s expectation.
Seeing the largest anti stealth radar detection range of this strange foreign aircraft flying out of the aircraft, this Phoenix 1 aircraft began a new test subject. Although Wang Bin and Qiu Shi knew that their aircraft might have been detected by satellites in the sky at this time, Wang Bin and Qiu Shi did not care.
After all, the test flight of this aircraft is not a secret test flight. Otherwise, the place of bullying will not be the airport of Tiangong technology, but a secret test flight base in Northwest China.
You know, when the plane took off, many people noticed it around, including some people who lingered near Tiangong technology for unknown purposes in recent years.
As the test flight of the aircraft continued, the maximum flight speed, maximum flight altitude, maximum endurance mileage, etc. until the aircraft was running out of fuel, the Phoenix 1 aircraft finally began to return under the command of division Qiu, and finally landed safely on the airport runway.
When all the crew got off the plane, Wang Bin, Qiu Shi and others had also come to the airport runway.
Seeing the crew get off the plane, Wang Bin and Qiu Shi immediately stepped forward, while Qiu Shi went to the side of the crew and saluted them.
When the crew saw division Qiu coming, they immediately saluted him and reported loudly: "division Qiu, crew of Phoenix 1, successfully completed all flight test projects, please give instructions."
"Very good! Your task has been completed very well. At the same time, when you return to the base, I think the superior will send you praise documents.
But I''d like to ask you how you feel when you test fly this aircraft and how the performance of the aircraft is in all aspects! "Qiu said.
"Report! The flight performance of the aircraft is very good. We have not found any obvious defects. At the same time, the performance of this aircraft is far better than any heavy transport aircraft we are currently in service, even the large transport aircraft or the new No. 6 aircraft we are in service. Therefore, I suggest that we should equip this aircraft." Zhao Feng, one of the crew, replied loudly!
"I know, but this aircraft is still in the test flight. If you want to equip it, you must wait until the end of the test flight. At this time, the production line and other equipment of this aircraft have not started mass production, so there is no way to mass production for the time being. Most importantly, I can''t make a decision on this matter. I have to ask the superior to make a decision, and we have to do it We can only submit our opinions, "said Qiu Shi.
"I see!" said Zhao Feng!
After that, Zhao Feng and the crew trotted off.
At this time, Wang Bin and others also began to check the aircraft with technicians. After the inspection, the aircraft was towed to the hangar again until a new test flight tomorrow.
However, since the aircraft manufactured this time is only a test aircraft, after several flights, a deeper inspection must be carried out.
For a deeper inspection, the plane must be disassembled.
Fortunately, the manufacturing of parts and components of the phoenix-1 aircraft of Tiangong technology has also been completed and the general assembly has begun. If there is no accident, the first prototype will not take long and can be assembled. At that time, the main model for test flight will be the No. 2 aircraft.
Of course, after the inspection of unit 1 is completed, it will also be reassembled. Any flight test is in progress. As for unit 3, it is already manufacturing parts. When the manufacturing of unit 2 is completed, the parts of unit 3 should be almost completed.
Tiangong technology will manufacture about five prototypes of phoenix-1 aircraft this time. If all test flights pass smoothly and no problems are found, then the aircraft will also be assembled on the production line and further technical transformation and upgrading.
At the same time, various improved aircraft of this aircraft will also be carried out.
For example, change this aircraft into supersonic early warning aircraft, supersonic refueling aircraft, supersonic professional electronic warfare aircraft, etc.
In addition, Wang Bin and Tiangong technology also plan to replace the engine of this aircraft with the similar tg-003 turbojet engine that Tiangong technology has now developed, so as to make it fly faster and higher.
Even Tiangong technology has the idea of installing the pulse detonation engine on this aircraft. However, because Tiangong technology''s pulse detonation engine technology is not mature enough and the thrust is still too low, it must take some time to install the pulse detonation engine.
However, it is precisely because of the successful development of this aircraft that the personnel of the process improvement and optimization group in the aircraft design department of Tiangong technology have a lot of ideas.
After all, in the past, because Tiangong technology had not made aircraft by itself, it was useless even if they had any ideas. Even the very many and advanced technologies in their hands were useless, but now it is different. Because Tiangong technology has its own aircraft manufacturing capacity, and Wang Bin has determined these prototypes, It will not be sold in the future. If you have any ideas, you can test them on it. Naturally, they are very positive.
Of course, no matter what technology it is, if you want to test it on these prototypes, you must carry out supercomputing calculation, and the success rate must be at least more than 98%, preferably more than 99%.
In other words, even if everyone has any ideas and the success rate of computer calculation is about 98%, it may not be implemented.
However, if the success rate reaches more than 99.5% after over calculation, it will definitely pass at the first time.
In the next few days, the phoenix-1 aircraft basically had a test flight every day, and all the test flight projects were carried out in an orderly manner.
However, something happened when the phoenix-1 aircraft was carrying out the last subject of the test flight and would be disassembled and inspected later.
It was not the Phoenix that happened, but a full military aircraft. When it flew to the air force base next to Tiangong technology and landed, there was an accident. I don''t know why. The engine of the aircraft caught fire directly. Fortunately, the superb skills of the pilots made the aircraft land safely on the runway of Tiangong technology.
