On May 31, the Kunlong ag600 full state new configuration fire extinguisher, a large fire-fighting / water rescue amphibious aircraft independently developed by China, successfully made its first flight in Zhuhai, Guangdong The first flight was held by means of on-site and video. Tanruisong, Secretary of the Party group and chairman of the board of directors of the aviation industry, Hao Zhaoping, deputy secretary of the Party group and general manager, leaders of the group, relevant leaders of local governments, customer representatives and representatives of the research and test units of Kunlong ag600 project attended the first flight.
At 10:55, the first aircraft group, composed of Captain Chen Ming, CO pilot sunkangning, air machinist Zhang Lei and monitoring observer Jiao lianyue, taxied and took off from Zhuhai Jinwan airport with Kunlong ag600 aircraft, completed test flight tasks such as constant speed climb, level flight deceleration, loose rod flight and simulated approach missed approach, and landed safely 20 minutes after flying in the air. The aircraft was in good condition, the control system was normal, and all systems operated stably.
Kunlong ag600 aircraft is a major aviation equipment developed to meet the urgent needs of China's emergency rescue system and the construction of the national natural disaster prevention and control system. It is the first large-scale special aircraft developed in accordance with the civil airworthiness standards in China. It is one of the three types of domestic large aircraft that are called Yun 20 large transport aircraft and C919 large passenger aircraft.
The success of the first flight of Kunlong ag600 full state new configuration fire extinguisher marks that the Kunlong ag600 project has entered a new stage of accelerated development. It also marks a major breakthrough in the development of fire-fighting function models and another major project milestone. It is a major phased achievement in the construction of national independent aviation emergency rescue equipment system.
In the engineering verification stage, Kunlong ag600 technology verification machine successively realized its first flight on land, on water and at sea, key performance test flight and water pumping and fire extinguishing function verification test flight, breaking through the key technologies such as pneumatic hydraulic integrated layout, high wave resistance and sea adaptability hull, complex high strut landing gear, and laying a solid and reliable technical foundation for the development of the project.
In the practical application stage, it is mainly to carry out the development of full state new configuration fire extinguishers and rescue aircraft and airworthiness certification.
The Kunlong ag600 full state new configuration fire extinguisher, which made its first flight, has a maximum takeoff weight of 60 tons and a maximum water carrying capacity of 12 tons, filling the gap of domestic large aviation fire extinguishing aircraft.
This type of aircraft is equipped with a pressurized cabin, adopts fly by wire flight control and integrated avionics, and is equipped with a full mission system. Compared with the technical verification aircraft, it has higher security, greater water input, longer range and better platform serialization development capability.
To overcome the adverse effects of the epidemic situation and the difficulties in scientific research and production, the research and development line will work together in multiple ways to ensure the completion of various research and development tasks.
With the guidance and assistance of the Ministry of industry and information technology, the emergency management department, the Civil Aviation Administration of China and other national ministries and commissions, and with the strong support and cooperation of relevant enterprises, universities and research institutions inside and outside the industry such as AVIC and CETC, this aircraft is based on the domestic industrial chain, supply chain and innovation chain, realizing 100% domestic independent support including engines and key airborne systems, and a large number of new technologies, new materials The new process has been applied, effectively driving the rapid development and quality improvement of relevant industries, showing a prominent demonstration and driving role.
The aviation industry will take the construction of the domestic aviation emergency rescue equipment system led by Kunlong ag600 as its own responsibility, accelerate the model development and market-oriented application, actively carry out the research on the use mode of fire fighting and rescue, and promote the pilot construction of the emergency rescue command center and demonstration operation base. It is planned to have the ability to carry out fire fighting tasks and put them into practical application in 2023, and obtain the airworthiness certificate of civil aviation of China and deliver them to users in 2024, In 2025, the rescue aircraft will obtain CAAC airworthiness certificate and be delivered to users.
