At 11:41 on May 10, the MA60 rain booster landed smoothly at Xi'an Yanliang Airport, marking the successful completion of the R&D and compliance verification test flight of the rain booster A configuration.
In order to further improve the detection level of the MA60 rain booster, in accordance with the requirements of the China Meteorological Administration, the aircraft platform has added detection equipment and other mission systems. In order to verify the performance of the new configuration of the aircraft, the MA60 rain booster was transferred to Sichuan Suining Anju Airport on April 25. The joint flight test team composed of crew, design, technology, flight test technology, maintenance, project and quality personnel was stationed at the same time and immediately devoted to the intense flight verification subjects.
The test flight mission consists of two stages: R&D test flight and compliance test flight. The joint flight test team worked closely together to optimize the flight test plan and completed the R&D flight test task on April 30. During the May Day holiday, the team members gave up their rest and actively carried out the next stage of flight preparation, and obtained the conformity verification chartered flight certificate on May 6. The mission then entered the compliance test flight stage, and the joint flight test team conducted compliance verification test flights on May 7 and 8 respectively. The MA60 rain booster completed a total of 8 flight test missions in this R&D and compliance verification test flight, including stall warning, flame bomb strip, liquid nitrogen, powder spreading, mission system function inspection and other subjects.
