The domestic self-developed aircraft model Crown One GA20 forensic test aircraft successfully flew for the first time in Qian

On December 31, the general aircraft model GA20 independently developed by the domestic private enterprise Guanyi General Aircraft Co., Ltd. ushered in major progress, the first successful flight of the forensic test aircraft at Jiuzhou Airport in Guizhou, and the final stage of model forensics officially began.

Jiuzhou General Airport in Huangping County, Guizhou Province, as the only runway-type general airport in Guizhou Province, undertook the first flight mission. Jiuzhou Airport, founded in 1939, was the only airport in Guizhou to fight against Japan during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, making a major contribution to ensuring the smooth flow of the "Hump Route" and becoming a flying card of the War of Resistance Against Japan. The first flight of the GA20 forensic aircraft here is of great significance.

On the same day, the weather over jiuzhou airport was sunny, and Mr. Hou Min, a well-known pilot in China, flew the flight mission. As a Chinese commercial license pilot and sports license examiner (representative appointed by the bureau), Hou Min has flown more than 50 military and civilian aircraft, has rich experience in training flights, forensic test flights, and has performed plateau test flight missions for many times, and has rich experience in judging the impact of aircraft design and structural differences, flight quality and maneuverability. He had previously flown the GA20 research test aircraft.

At 11:00 a.m., the GA20 took off smoothly and rushed to the blue sky, and within a 22-minute flight time, through the functional tests of the control system, power system, avionics electrical system, brakes, etc., each system was functionally normal. At 11:22, the landing was smooth, and the first flight of the GA20 MSN2 was successful!

Pilot Hou Min: "Today's first flight feels good, I and GA20 are old friends, the forensic test aircraft is more excellent in stability and maneuverability than the scientific research test aircraft, and I look forward to the success of GA20 forensics." ”

GA20 is a crown one tongfei has a complete independent intellectual property rights, and lasted 6 years to develop 23 aircraft models, guanyi tongfei as a private enterprise focusing on the independent development of general aircraft, from the beginning of research and development, always adhere to the whole process of independent development, firmly grasp the research and development of core technology, scientific research test aircraft in 2018 successfully flew for the first time, November 18 this year, the forensic test aircraft in Nanchang Guanyi production base assembly of the line, to undertake the key task of model forensic test flight.

Li Baoliang, director of the Jiangxi Certification Center of Civil Aviation: "The successful first flight of the GA20 forensic test aircraft represents the further verification of the independent research and development capabilities of private enterprises, and as an airworthiness certification department, we and the enterprise share the great goal of revitalizing China's aviation industry." We hope that more and more private enterprises with technology, responsibility and mission like Guanyi will join in and jointly develop China's aviation industry. ”

It is understood that the type qualification verification process of an aircraft type is usually divided into five stages: conceptual design, requirements determination, compliance plan formulation, plan implementation and post-certification. After the completion of the first flight of the GA20 certification test aircraft, the "applicant's test flight test" in the fourth phase of the "plan implementation stage" officially began, and will last for more than five months to complete about 100 test flight tasks, so as to complete the test flight tasks of more than 30 subjects required for model forensics, and the evidence collection work will be basically completed after the test flight.

After the certification, the GA20 will be used as a sales license for the 23 aircraft used by airlines to train pilots.

According to the previous test flight data, the performance indicators of the GA20 have met the design requirements, the aircraft is light, the commercial load is higher, and the fuel economy advantages are obvious, showing the excellent characteristics of a general aviation aircraft that are cost-effective. At the same time, the GA20 offers a variety of power, a variety of equipment and a variety of interior options, in the flight training market and private flight market is a new general purpose aircraft with a high competitive advantage.
