Quietly parked there, the fuselage is bright red flowers, as if telling a glorious history, it is not a galloping blue sky war eagle, nor is it a giant bird transporting passengers, but it is the pioneer of the new China's aviation industry, is the brainchild of countless aviation people - it is the first aircraft designed and manufactured by New China itself,
Time back to the 50s of the last century, the new republic is in ruins, the aviation industry is a blank, in order to break the technological blockade of Western countries, as soon as possible let the Chinese sky soar to make their own aircraft, countless enthusiastic young people devoted themselves to the construction of the aviation industry, in 1956, China's first aircraft design office was established, which marked an important step in China's aviation industry independent research and development
At the beginning of the establishment of the design office, the conditions were extremely difficult, there was no advanced equipment, no mature experience, and even the reference materials were pitiful, but these difficulties did not stop the aviation people from moving forward
Xu Shunshou, the leader of the design team, knows the importance of innovation for China's aviation industry, and he encouraged young designers not to be superstitious about Soviet technology, but to dare to break the routine and walk out of their own way
The manufacturing process of Jianjiao-1 is also full of challenges, at that time, China's industrial base was weak, and many key equipment and materials were dependent on imports, in order to solve these problems, aviation people carried forward the spirit of self-reliance, they did it themselves, with rudimentary tools and equipment, to overcome all kinds of difficulties, and finally completed the Jianjiao-1 manufacturing
On July 26, 1958, this is a day worth remembering for all Chinese, the first flight of Shenyang, Jianjiao 1, was successful, accompanied by the roar of the engine, this silver aircraft carrying the dreams of countless people took off, and the blue sky drew a beautiful arc, this roar, announced that China would break the blockade of aviation technology and open a new chapter in independent research and development of aircraft
The news of the success of the first flight spread all over the motherland, and people took to the streets to celebrate this historic moment
The successful development of Jianjiao-1 not only fills the gap in China's aviation industry, but also cultivates a team of experienced and innovative aviation talents, who will become the mainstay of China's aviation industry in the future and make outstanding contributions to the development of China's aviation industry
As the first aircraft designed and manufactured by New China, Jianjiao 1 carries the dreams and pursuits of Chinese aviation people, and its successful development has laid a solid foundation for the development of China's aviation industry, and also gave wings to China's aviation industry
We are more deeply aware that scientific and technological innovation is a powerful driving force to promote national development and national progress, and it is with this unremitting spirit of innovation that China's aviation industry has made remarkable achievements from scratch
When we look up at the sky, see the domestic fighter soaring in the blue sky, and see the domestic large aircraft flying high, we should remember those pioneers who have contributed to China's aviation industry, and it is they who have paved a bright road for China's aviation industry with their sweat and wisdom
Looking back at the development process of Jianjiao-1, it is not difficult for us to find that it was not all smooth sailing, but it was successful after overcoming many difficulties, the industrial foundation is weak, the technical force is weak, many key equipment and materials are dependent on imports, and even the most basic drawings and tools for designing aircraft are very scarce
In the face of these difficulties, the aviation people did not flinch, they carried forward the spirit of "self-reliance, hard work", in order to solve the drawing problem, they used the most primitive method, with their hands little by little drawing; In order to solve the material problem, they collected everywhere and even rebuilt them with parts from scrap airplanes; In order to solve technical problems, they worked day and night to tackle key problems, and finally overcame one difficulty after another
Jianjiao 1 design team is a young team, many of them are college students who have just walked out of school, do not have much practical experience, and there is no ready-made technology to refer to, but they have a strong patriotic enthusiasm and ambition to serve the country, and they are eager to use their own hands to create their own aircraft for New China
In the design process, they humbly learned from Soviet experts, but did not blindly follow, but always insisted on independent thinking, they deeply studied the world's most advanced aircraft design concept at that time, combined with the actual situation in China, and finally determined the Jianjiao-1 design plan
Jianjiao 1 manufacturing process, the same is a period full of hardships and sweat process, at that time Songling Machinery Factory, the technical force is weak, many processes need to be completed manually, in order to ensure the quality of aircraft manufacturing, workers have made great efforts, they keep improving, many key components are repeatedly polished, debugging before finally completed
In the process of developing Jianjiao 1, countless heroic deeds emerged, including an old worker, who fought hard for several days and nights in order to solve a technical problem, and finally collapsed on the workbench; A young technician searched through all the materials to find a suitable material, and finally found the material he needed at a scrap yard......
It is this spirit of "self-reliance and hard work" that supports Chinese aviation people to overcome many difficulties and finally realize the dream of "serving the country by aviation".
The story of Jianjiao 1 has become history, but the spirit it contains, but it is timeless, inspiring generation after generation of aviation people, to achieve the dream of China's aviation and hard work, China's aviation industry has made remarkable achievements, domestic fighters soaring in the blue sky, domestic large aircraft spread their wings and fly high, these achievements are inseparable from the spirit of "self-reliance, hard work, and innovation" of the older generation of aviation people, and they are inseparable from the solid foundation they have laid for the development of China's aviation industry
At the starting point of the new history, we should inherit and carry forward the fine traditions of the older generation of aviation people, and work hard to build an aviation power and realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
