The landing craft of air cushion of European bison class that China introduces is attention getting a person all the time, when refer concerns a situation, a lot of people like refer Wu Kelan, exaggerate ceaselessly its contribution, cry even: Cannot replace the word of and so on, such expression of one's political views passed a bit, be suspected of concealing a fact, say to introduce only how did not carry homebred? Avoid talking of purpose, still press a root not to know that?
Perhaps a lot of people can think of, we in hovercraft technology this one domain walks along alive bound front row, to be engaged in one of countries of relevant technology research and development the earliest. Press normally view, hovercraft technology is when 1953, offer technical theory by England, built the first hovercraft 1959 subsequently, its are really same year, we also research and development a code name " 33 " a light boat of air cushion experiment, shakedown time even a few days in the morning, so the likelihood throws shakedown hovercraft the first times for the whole world, this is China most the world of unknown to public the first.
60 time have the century on, homebred hovercraft acquires the code name of project of research and development of 7XX, early or late research and development much money hovercraft, active service 726 model landing craft is newest model, but not be the first devoted and active service model, however 724 model landing craft of light-duty air cushion.
China explores quite a few in the research of hovercraft technology domain, undertook much experimentation checks the work, homebred hovercraft comes out successfully namely before 60 years, however up to now nobody know, main reason depends on us too too low-key, in limited coverage, often be its classify basic research project, civil perhaps product.
We maintain even if low-key, also cannot deny, we took the reality of world front row in this one domain, it is the technical base ability that gets him be confined to only, a lot of problems are revealed in practice, we can not take out a type that makes the army satisfactory all the time, it is the army is eager to an outfit to do not have all the time actually, ask to be improved ceaselessly however. If put other country, for instance: India, equiped early perhaps with respect to batch before how many years.
Tell the truth, my army is quite tall to the requirement of hovercraft technology, a bit slashing even, for instance: Inchoate experiment a light boat once had experimented to use aviation motor. Naval respect is supplied without aviation fuel with naval ships army however for, offer an opinion, pass ceaseless test fortunately, we realize very quickly, no matter be gasoline engine, still be the requirement that diesel engine cannot satisfy at hovercraft, must want high-power engine, chose gas turbine finally, the result became an issue that perplexes our a long time.
Until in recent years since, as homebred the progress that lights turbine technology, we just resolved a trouble, begin batch to produce 726 model landing craft, the congener product that its function compares abroad actually is more advanced, quite top-ranking expression.
Nowadays the publicity of information, make us clear, china never lacks exploration spirit in technical domain, comparative in a lot of respects tall, even if suffers be confined to many fields requirement, harvest is not as good as others what, but we never had been swung truly by others, in certain domain more be in lead position. We can admit to be in a lot of places not as good as the west, but do not be equal to, only the thing of others just is best, "Foreign moon is rounder than China " precocious be the history.
