May 17, the much-anticipated "auspicious bird" AC313A helicopter in Jiangxi Jingdezhen Lvmeng Airport successfully made its maiden flight. Seeing this news, the first feeling is that our country is powerful. Its biggest contribution is the "engine localization" for the Chinese science and technology applause!
After that, I'm going to spit on the location, "LvMeng Airport" could be the LvMeng of the Three Kingdoms. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
Back to business. During the maiden flight, the AC313A helicopter completed hovering, near-ground maneuvers and takeoff flights, and the helicopter was in good condition. Through the first flight preliminary check of the helicopter's power, rotor, maneuvering and avionics system and other equipment status, for the subsequent scientific research adjustment test flight laid a solid foundation.
First, let's introduce the features of this civil helicopter:The AC313A is designed to fully adopt MBD three-dimensional technology and is equipped with additional on-board equipment such as health monitoring system (HUMS) and rotor anti-de-icing, with a maximum externally mounted take-off weight of 13.8 tons, a sprinkler capacity of 5 tons, and the ability to transport up to 28 crew members.
So, the question comes, AC3134 large civil helicopter, in the end, will be applied to what areas?
The most direct is the aviation rescue
Has always been the aviation emergency rescue equipment is the weak link in our country, the most prominent is in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake period, our country at that time the military helicopters, but four or five hundred, dedicated rescue helicopters may be less than 100, the government at that time to the whole army and the entire society The government mobilized 99 helicopters, 30 of which came from civilian sources, and among the 99 helicopters were Mi-26s, Mi-171s and the straight-eight helicopters of the time.
It is remembered that a Mi-171 rescue mission 92734 crew, transporting experts from the Third Military Medical University to guide the work of epidemic prevention in the disaster area returned because of a sudden change in the weather and unfortunately crashed. Including the captain and other five crew members, all 18 people on board were killed. This is something I remember for a long, long time .....
Remember, to increase the number of specialized helicopters in the country importing alone will not solve the fundamental problem. Independent research and development is our hope.
Today's success of the AC3134 marks a new development in China's aviation rescue. The helicopter can be equipped with search lights, fire buckets, electric winches, air broadcasting and other mission equipment, with the ability to perform fire fighting, search and rescue missions.
For different user needs, through customized design, this type of aircraft has the ability to perform emergency medical care, emergency command, comprehensive law enforcement and other tasks, after the addition of emergency floating system, but also to perform rescue tasks at sea, to meet China's all-terrain all-weather multi-purpose needs, will effectively improve the domestic large civil helicopter aviation emergency rescue capabilities and high-quality supply capacity, better support the construction of China's aviation emergency rescue system. Support the construction of China's aviation emergency rescue system.
At the same time, through the improved design, with excellent plateau performance, can effectively make up for China's Tibet and other high plateau areas of emergency rescue and material transportation needs of the gap.
The AC313A can also meet the requirements for helicopter use in high-temperature, high-cold, and high plateau climates and complex terrains, and has the ability to carry out personnel and material transportation, forest and urban firefighting and extinguishing, large-scale equipment lifting, rescue and relief, medical rescue, police law enforcement, maritime flights and search and rescue, and offshore oil platform transportation and other tasks.
Finally, I hope that China's helicopter road can go farther and farther in the international field, let us wait and see.
