The Yun-7 is a twin-engine potboiler propeller short- and medium-range transport aircraft developed and produced in China on the basis of the Soviet Union's An-24. It is a twin-engine turboprop regional transport aircraft developed and produced by Xi'an Aircraft Industry Company, and was first flown on December 25, 1970 in the sky.
In April 1966, XAIC officially started the task of reverse imitating the An-24 introduced and developed in the 1970s. After the first flight of the first prototype, in 1977 and 1979 twice organized the aircraft design identification. Due to the fact that some of the on-board products had not been finalized and several test subjects had not yet been flown, the state did not approve the finalization of the design. At the same time, the civil aviation department made it clear that the engine power of the prototype was insufficient, and under the high-temperature plateau conditions in some areas of China, the takeoff weight of the airplane was restricted, and the commercial load was greatly reduced. Therefore, the engine power problem must be solved, and must complete the single-engine takeoff and landing qualification test flights, additional static tests of the fuselage structure.
The Yun-7-100 is the first major modification of the Yun-7, with partners including Hong Kong's HAECO. Major improvements included modifications to electronic equipment, air conditioning systems, interior decoration, the addition of wingtip winglets, and the addition of a stall warning system. The cockpit was changed to a three-person system, and the passenger capacity was increased to 52. The Model 100 could meet the requirements for takeoff, navigation and approach and landing under complicated weather conditions. on April 23, 1987, the first flight of the Model 100 was made on the international route of Shenyang-Pyongyang.
Inheriting the safety of the original Yun-7 aircraft, the Yun-7-200A aircraft has undergone a new design, extensively absorbing the advanced aviation technology of the contemporary world, and adopting a large number of advanced finished products with mature foreign technology. The model has been redesigned in terms of design technology, structural layout, main on-board equipment, and major improvements have been made in the engine, navigation and communication equipment and automatic flight control system, piloting system, cockpit layout, etc. The first flight of the model took place in 1993, and on May 5, 1998, as a new-generation regional airliner, the YUN-7-200A obtained the type certificate issued by the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China (CAAC), which was the first time that a domestic civil airliner strictly complied with the requirements for the safety of the original YUN-7 aircraft. This is the first time for a domestic civil passenger aircraft to be certified in strict accordance with the provisions of CCAR-25, which is in line with the international standard of China's civil aviation regulations.
The front part of the aircraft has been redesigned, and the fuselage length has been increased by 1 meter compared with that of the Yun-7-100 type, which increases the number of passenger seats to 56-60 and improves the transportation capacity and comfort of the aircraft. The power plant adopts the PW127C high-efficiency, low fuel consumption three-shaft free turbine engine produced by Pratt & Whitney Canada and the 247F-3 high-efficiency, low-noise four-bladed composite propeller from the U.S. Hamilton Company, which is the same as that of the advanced foreign regional airplanes. It reduces fuel consumption by 30 percent compared with the Yun-7-100 aircraft, and the noise level is also significantly reduced, which greatly improves the economy and comfort of the aircraft. The APU, an advanced foreign auxiliary power unit installed on the airplane, provides the airplane with ground air conditioning and the ability to start the engine on the ground by itself, which improves comfort and airport adaptability. The cockpit has been redesigned so that the aircrew has been changed from the 5-person pilot system of the Yun-7-100 to a 2-person pilot system, which significantly reduces operating costs. Many first-class electronic airborne equipments are adopted on the Yun-7200A aircraft, and the maneuverability is on par with the international advanced aircraft, which can be used as the trainer of large aircraft.
