05 架 Higher machine-made Falcon has completed its first flight
three Falcon advanced trainer aircraft L-15 family portrait

Editor’s note: This week two news aroused the concern of users: First, China’s large aircraft project assembly manufacturing center in Shanghai was set up 6; second is the “Falcon” L15 advanced trainer 05 8 successful maiden flight.

recent, rapid development of aviation industry reports very intensive, some foreign media took the opportunity to air power advocate China “threat” theory. In fact, with the international advanced level lags far behind. China’s aviation industry to the current level of ability? How will the development of China’s aviation industry? This week, “Chen Hu Troops” with you concerned about the status of China’s aviation industry and the future.

“Falcon”: not just Higher machine

“Falcon” advanced trainer 05 first flight successfully, we are very happy, also very exciting. But some people ask questions: It is after all just a trainer, meaning how important it?

In fact, the “Falcon” more than just exist as an advanced trainer. Set aside on technical sophistication, etc., from the wider sense, the “Falcon” 05 successful first flight at least three major significance.

solve the Air Force “quality” and “quantity” conflict between the key

new generation of aircraft and compared to the previous generation, a substantial increase in technical performance, but the cost also rose sharply. In the process of upgrading the Air Force fighters have been difficult to achieve a 1:1 ratio to update the old fighter. Therefore, almost all major Air Force is facing a conflict between quality and quantity.

Similarly, the Chinese Air Force in quite a long time, has also been troubled by this contradiction.

now we have three generations of machines. However, these three generations of machine cost is quite high, we can not completely in a relatively short period of time will change these old aircraft out. As a big country, how to solve the development of high-quality advanced combat aircraft and the Air Force to maintain the overall number of conflicts between is crucial.

In my opinion, like “Falcon” that the emergence of advanced machines of higher education can be said to resolve this conflict provides the key.

in a number of advanced combat aircraft and equipment at the same time maintain a large number of advanced trainer aircraft, the Air Force one can guarantee that we have sufficient training resources to ensure the pilot’s talent pool; same time, this advanced high performance trainer can also perform as part of the wartime operational mission. So, like “Falcon” this machine in the world of higher education has also been a lot of national attention.

such as our neighbors South Korea, which jointly developed and the United States such an advanced T-50 advanced trainer, as its advanced aviation technology made the first breakthrough.

as Russia, some European countries are actively developing advanced trainer aircraft, we regard the development of advanced trainer and equipment quality and quantity as a solution to the contradictions of a possible approach.

develop military international market

“Falcon” aircraft could also open up export markets become a weapon.

whether military aircraft, civilian aircraft have the number or size of the aviation industry in China in the world are among the best. In this sense, we are an aerospace power.

does not mean that we are an aerospace power.

our aviation products, whether civil aircraft or military aircraft in the international market share is very limited. Like the “Falcon” this advanced trainer aircraft export constraints are less, so this may be beneficial to our military to develop the international market “weapons.”

from past experience, China’s domestic exports of military aircraft is the primary trainer of the most successful K-8, now we have a “Falcon” This advanced training aircraft, military aircraft in the export markets open up may be more beneficial.

way to achieve some special purpose

“Falcon” advanced trainer’s own technical characteristics and performance of decision it may be to achieve some a way for special purposes.

example, the development of aircraft carriers on the need for aircraft to use the trainer. The “Falcon” This trainer has not only advanced takeoff and landing performance, while its technical performance of all aspects of art can achieve a considerable degree. Use of such aircraft to complete some of these special purpose, it should be said is a very convenient way.

made through the market test is the key to the successful development of large aircraft

we must also note that “Falcon” put the eye from the original developer of fixed on the huge military machine of international higher education market, “Falcon” or the development company had said its export volume may reach hundreds of aircraft.

This gives us a new measure.

In the past we measure an aircraft (either civilian or military aircraft machine) is successful when only be understood from a technical level. That is, if technically achieve the development targets, then the aircraft even if successful.

However, for the future of China’s aviation industry, to just a technical indicator is not enough. We want to achieve from the air power to a leap in air power, we must take enough market share, our aviation products have to go to the world, and withstood the test of international markets.

China’s large aircraft project and the “Falcon” advanced trainer, they are worthy of our attention is a common feature: the eyes to take aim, the international market. Only through a market test, be able to get a share of the international market, it can really be considered a double technical and commercial success. And China’s aviation industry can only develop a large number of both technical success but commercial success of the military and civilian aircraft, will enable Air China are truly a great country to air power.

course, for today’s aviation industry, the realization of such a leap is still long way to go.

the development of China’s aviation industry long way to go

6 月 5, I attended the “China Air” magazine and the China Aviation Institute jointly organized the “Ping Rufei line Centennial Conference. ” Many of the aviation industry experts and academics outside the military, experts attended the seminar to commemorate the feat of a century Ping Rufei line, the 21st century, space game, on how to promote the “Feng as spiritual” and the national aviation industry, air force building and national security space to start a topic of conversation across time and space.

dating back 100 years ago, a man named Feng, such as young people in the Wright brothers developed the first human powered aircraft manned aircraft after just six years, it developed the world’s advanced level with time one called “Feng Ru No. 1″ of the aircraft. Such a young age of 20 years of age not only developed the advanced aircraft, and also proposed the “air power” of such a dream. Under the command of the Sun, he set up China’s first “Air Force” to see the future of aviation technology for the importance of national defense, and made some important ideas of the Air Force strategy.

Until now, 100 years after von such as time, our aviation technology has never been reached as close as the world’s leading Feng level as the extent of our current air power and the status of our country needs than there is still a considerable gap.

In this seminar, the aviation industry’s elite, including four Academy of Engineering have expressed their views, many within the military experts and scholars have also felt a great sense of crisis, while we The aviation industry made a look.

Today, we have recognized the importance of air superiority. No air safety, national defense is difficult to be effectively guaranteed. Therefore, the aviation industry is of great significance for us. It is not only the development of national defense needs, but also China to move toward the road to recovery is an important material foundation.

In this seminar, all the experts and scholars such as Feng in the past 100 years before the brilliant, the face of today’s gap between the aviation industry today, almost invariably with the words: long way to go.

In my opinion, whether it is “Falcon” flight 05 machine, or assembly of large aircraft manufacturing center project listed, this news should make us excited. At the same time, we should really understanding that we from the international advanced level is still huge in the future we want to develop the difficulties faced by the aviation industry is huge, efforts need to be made is enormous.
