78

The Kazan aircraft plant is completing work on the second deeply modernized strategic missile carrier Tu-160M, and in the near future it will join the tests. This was announced by the head of the UAC Yuri Slyusar.

The Kazan aircraft plant is deeply modernizing the Tu-160 combat strategic bombers to the level of the Tu-160M. Currently, the first aircraft is undergoing tests, and the second will soon join it, work on which is already being completed. Further, both strategists will undergo state tests, after which they will go to combat units.



At the same time, a completely new strategic bomber Tu-160M, built from scratch, is being assembled in Kazan. According to the plans announced earlier, the aircraft should begin testing as early as this, 2021. In total, under the 2018 contract, the UAC will build ten new Tu-160M ​​strategic bombers for the Ministry of Defense. In addition, it is planned to deeply modernize all combatant strategic missile carriers in service.

As previously explained in the corporation, on the deeply modernized Tu-160M, new flight and navigation equipment, an on-board communications complex, a control system, a radar station, an electronic countermeasures complex, as well as new NK-32-02 engines (series 2) were installed, the production of which was restored in Samara (UEC-Kuznetsov JSC).

The deeply modernized Tu-32M ​​made its maiden flight with new NK-02-160 engines at the beginning of November last year. At the same time, it was emphasized that the engines installed on the aircraft are serial.

              We don't drink because we're drawn to fun
              And we do not set ourselves the goal of licentiousness.
              We want to leave ourselves for a moment
              And only because of this they tend to be intoxicated with potions.

      An acquaintance of mine was from work at the plant, according to him, the Tu-160 in the workshops of KAPO named after Gorbunov is being repaired by grandparents in glasses with diopters, which were collected according to the personnel department, who are still in their minds and remember how to do wiring and all other work ... As the state order appeared, they began to be invited. Since the backlog of the "holy 90s" is over, I am trying to make a titanium "ridge" for the new Tu-160 - a central titanium beam 12,4 m long and 2,1 m wide, around which the rest of the glider elements were grouped. If we do not learn to make this beam again, there will be no new Tu-160.

            All graduate students, as a rule, do work on outdated topics. It was in the 30s of the last century that some of our ingenious designers were given the opportunity to make a diploma for the creation of technology that did not yet exist. And because there was nothing, so they risked, and now who will give the money is unknown on what to spend.

                This was a step in development at that time. First a locksmith, then a foreman, any salary is higher than that of a locksmith, then a foreman or, with luck, a deputy. the head of the shop. Career growth is called. Did you think straight to the boss? Our Chernomyrdin also started out as locksmiths, graduated from the institute in absentia and gradually, you know, became prime minister. Of course, the stars do not shine like that for everyone, but nevertheless it was so. And what's the point now, the current upstart manager by pull was put to the position, and he has no ear, no snout, so the whistle begins. And before the school was, until you go from the very bottom, hell to the big bosses will go out.

          Yes, there was a time! KAI, KUAI! I remember we arrived at the training camp, dismantled the bed, and under the mattress there was a note "Hello to the rookies from MAI from the lieutenants of KuAI!" And further. During practical exercises on the Birch, we raise the container and the lieutenant's eyes pop out, the container says "KAI navel of the earth". While he was lying - not visible, they raised the piston to the lieutenant. Such were the times!

Apparently there were no grandmothers with diopters, I had to introduce a new one and increase the power and resource. In general, Russian Railways, under the guise of an unnecessary gas turbine locomotive, financed the military project of the best production aircraft, mankind, so that the enemy's reconnaissance would be done.

          Boeing is closely monitoring the diversification of its suppliers. The project with titanium from Russia is needed to put pressure on similar titanium companies from other countries. Titanium supplied by the Russian Federation for Boeing and Airbus is a low-conversion product. Almost raw. Therefore, there is nothing to admire.

          The seers cannot make a beam, ah a shame.

          For example, to weld a Tu-160 semi-beam, you must first take the panels and spars for tacks by manual arc welding in an argon atmosphere, and then the seam is completely welded with an electron beam in a chamber in a vacuum. The chamber in which the semi-beam is being welded has been restored and is working. That is, the welding technology involves first tacking between the components of the center section by argon-arc welding, and only then welding the seams with an electron beam in a deep vacuum. Not everything is going smoothly with this yet.

                  And then they rub in some kind of game about the wiring, low titanium alteration, etc.

                  Here they tell how it is on the assembly of an entire aircraft.
                  And yes, the wiring there is a separate story, there are kilometers of wires. And it is very difficult during modernization, it is not always possible to pull out the old cable from the finished airframe. Therefore, for example, when the first "ducklings" were assembled at our Chkalovsky plant, they had 2-3 sets of wires,

                    All this is posted by big sofa masters. There are no problems with cables and cannot be. The most nonsense. Remove old stuff and put new problems in the posts of Bashkirkhan wassat The usual technological process and each posting is described in the specifications, proofs, etc. There are no grandparents with diopters and who know every posting, and there cannot be. On the contrary, now computers are to help.

                      Yes Yes.
                      Only all these specifications must be able to be fulfilled.
                      Assembly is manual labor.
                      Let me remind you once again about the sensor in Proton screwed up with up-feet. And this is generally the simplest.
                      Yesterday on a TV set they showed how at a factory a peasant with a drill pokes a drill into every already punched hole in the parts to be joined, here you have a computer and a CNC and specifications ...
                      An eye gauge, experience and dexterity are our everything.
                      And yes, it is impossible to remove the cable without disassembling half of the aircraft, and laying a new one in the finished glider is a task for the very smart.

                        Do not take this excuse for Proton on faith, the common people are not supposed to know the real reason. And after the explosion of the rocket, look for evidence there. And after that, Proton has already flown successfully. You were given a supernews about a super-plane from scratch, no, Bashkirkhan comes, got entangled in wires and blind grandmothers, a Jacket comes, everything is Proton, yes Proton. Upside down, but upside down. Roll over already, do not use your head as a support, but use it as directed wassat

                      Chrych, calm down. In my opinion, you reported it. What kind of computers? The wiring harness is manufactured on the slipway. And "grandmothers with diopters" can do it too. There, if a mistake is possible, then it is minimal and quite sensible men can make it. Because the specification indicates the type of wire, cross-section in mm.kv., its personal number and route - from terminal No. 18 to terminal No. 24. Everything! And, I repeat, "grandmothers with diopters" can also lay this wire. By the way, grandmothers with and without diopters are more attentive than men when performing simple routine work. What my production experience tells me.

          If now the missile carrier has been assembled from scratch, apparently the beam has been sorted out

          Did you build it from scratch? In the same place at the plant there was a "touch" or even a few. The first new one is definitely not "from scratch".

    There is no war, flood, earthquake, so one shift is enough.

      There is such a concept as "engineering school". Traditions, methods and all that. How were top schools created? Imagine now - from the defense of the diploma-clap, into the funnels and into the sharashka. And I can't even imagine where NOW such diplomas are being defended.
      ... A neighbor said that her granddaughter (a Muscovite) an excellent student cannot enter a university, all the places are already occupied by regional students who will not finish the first year. Their USE was bought in their regions. And with these points, they took all the places. ALL the places were taken.

    There is no war, no flood ... yeah, the world is continuous. When those grandfathers run out, they'll start paying. Only there will be no one. And, well, yes, to foreign specialists! Also an option ...
    ... according to him, the Tu-160 in the workshops of KAPO named after Gorbunov is being repaired by grandparents in glasses with diopters, which were collected according to the data of the personnel department, who are still in their minds ...

    Here is an article ... https://topwar.ru/184910-polimery-kotorye-poka-ne-prospali-rossija-i-mirovaja-himija.html

    Khrych correctly writes about the computer, he meant the creation of a wiring diagram, for example, on Eplan, where a plan of harnesses is created in 3D, where the improvisation of electricians is almost excluded when laying harnesses

      Ie, first on a computer in the corresponding program, circuits are created, then tracing in 3D, harnesses, etc. And then "grandmothers, grandfathers, grandchildren and great-grandchildren" are laid in place from terminal No. 18 to No. 24, while it is quite difficult to confuse, but if you try, then of course everything is possible

    More recently, no, you would not have gone! In the merchandisers - yes, in the office plankton - yes, but to the stocks - no, because even they understood that their qualifications and knowledge would not be enough to "twist the nut". Whether anything has changed now I'm not sure!
