How did I make the H -6 bomber?

H -6 bomber is a domestic medium-range jet bomber developed by China Xi 'an Aircraft Factory. The predecessor of this aircraft is the Tu-16 bomber made in the former Soviet Union. 1957 In September, China purchased the manufacturing right of Tu-16 bomber from the former Soviet Union, and the other party provided a complete set of technical data according to the agreement. But all materials, including engines and vehicle-mounted equipment, must be made by China itself. Chinese aviation engineers overcame all kinds of difficulties and finally made a medium-range bomber with domestic accessories and engines, and named it H -6 aircraft.

Tu-16 bomber was a product of the former Soviet Union from the late 1940s to the early 1950s. It is a twin-engine jet subsonic medium-range bomber. 1952 completed the test flight, and 1955 was put into use, which was called "Badger" by NATO. The main performance data of this aircraft are fuselage length of 34.8m, height of10.8m, wingspan of 33m and wing area of165.65m2.. The maximum takeoff weight of the whole aircraft is 75,800 kg; The empty weight is 37040kg, and the maximum oil load is 34360kg. The maximum horizontal flight speed is 992km, the service ceiling is 12800m, the maximum range is 6000km, and the combat radius is 2300km. The main airborne equipment includes remote communication radio, emergency rescue radio, bomber aiming radar, shooting aiming radar, blind landing system, friend or foe identification system and electronic reconnaissance jamming system. The weapon system is mainly composed of movable turrets at the top, bottom and tail, twin engines at the root of two wings in the middle, and a 6.5-meter-long bomb bay in the midriff. The bomb bay can be loaded with all kinds of bombs, nuclear bombs, torpedoes and mines. The maximum bomb load can reach 9000 kg. There are two pylons under the wing, which can carry two missiles of various types. Equipped with seven 23 mm caliber guns. After the aircraft was exported to Egypt, it participated in the fourth Middle East War.

H -6 is produced by Tu-16 process. At first, the design of figure-16 was basically used, and later it was greatly improved according to domestic materials and various equipment. The main shape characteristics and performance data of modern H -6 are as follows: the fuselage is streamlined, two engines are installed at the roots of the middle two wings, and the wings are cantilever swept-back middle wings; The tail consists of a cantilever swept back horizontal tail and a vertical tail. The maximum thrust of the two engines is 2× 9500kg, and the rated power is 2× 7650kg. The plane is 34.8m long, 9.85m high, with a wingspan of 34.19m and a wing area of167.55m.. The maximum take-off weight of the whole aircraft is 75,800kg, the empty weight is 37,700kg, the maximum oil load is 34,360kg, the maximum level flying speed is 1.0 14km/h, and the service ceiling is 1.3 100m, the maximum.

The main airborne equipment of the aircraft includes: pilot and autopilot, communication and command radio, radio compass and altimeter, beacon receiver, friend or foe identifier, bombing radar, rear-view radar, bombing optical sight, etc. These equipments ensure the all-weather combat performance of the aircraft.

The weapons and equipment of H -6 are: nose equipment 1 23 mm caliber artillery; There are two 23mm caliber guns at the top, bottom and tail of the fuselage. The quantity of ammunition is 1800 rounds; There is a large bomb bay in the middle of the fuselage, which can carry conventional bombs and nuclear bombs. The maximum bomb load is 9000 kg. Two air-to-ground missiles can be hung under the wing.

H -6 is the main bomber type equipped by China Air Force. It has the advantages of high speed, long range and large bomb load. After equipping the troops, the ability of our air force to defend airspace has been improved to some extent.

With the rapid development of technology and the improvement of military mission requirements, H -6 aircraft has been continuously improved. It is reported that the H -6 aircraft has many improved models, such as H -6 A, H -6 B, H -6 D and so on. Some of them have been converted into strategic bombers carrying nuclear weapons. Some have also been converted into H -6 trainers.
