In 1985, a miscalculation led to the forced disdeployment of the domestic large aircraft Y-10, and the direct loss reached one trillion yuan.
Witnessed all the processMa Fengshan, the chief designer of the Y-10, also died with hatred after 5 years, which can't help but be regretted.
So, what kind of miscalculation led to such serious consequences?
In the 50s of the last century, Ma Fengshan, who had just returned from studying in the Soviet Union,It was organized and arranged to develop China's own bomber!
At that time, China was already working on atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs, but it was necessary to use bombers together. However, China's aviation industry is basically a blank, with no foundation and no technology.
What is even more difficult is that Sino-Soviet relations have cooled, and the Soviet Union has not given us any technical support. Many researchers feel that they have little chance of success.
But Ma Fengshan was different, he was the best learner of all Chinese students in the Soviet Union, and he took a lot of notes and materials. This became an important reference material for later research and development.
With the full efforts of him and his team, he finally came up with a H-6 bomber, which directly shocked the world!Ma Fengshan has also become a top aviation expert.
But Ma Fengshan was not satisfied, he knew that there were still many shortcomings in China's aviation field. There is a big gap between the military and the West, and the civilian side is even more blank, and there is not even a masterpiece.
So he made up his mind that he had to let China design its own passenger plane to impress the world.
Many countries do not believe that China has the ability to do this. The West even said that only 3 countries now have the manufacturing capacity of large passenger aircraft, and China wants to become the 4th, but there is no door!
The so-called "impossible" things in the West have been slapped in the face by China and cannot be counted.
After more than 10 years of hard research and development, China finally built China's first self-developed large aircraft - Y-10.
In 1980, the Y-10 successfully completed its first flight, flying for more than 170 hours, and all indicators were very stable. This means that China has also successfully joined the ranks of the few countries in the world that can independently develop large aircraft.
Seeing the Y-10 flying in the sky, Ma Fengshan was full of emotion. With this domestic airliner, the flight of the Chinese will no longer be controlled by other countries.
But before I had time to rejoice, a new problem arose.
Some people look at the Yun-10 unpleasantly and feel that China's technology is not good, and they should buy foreign aircraft. So all kinds of voices of obstruction of the movement 10 appeared.
There are bigger factors that are,At that time, the country's economy was not good, and it was quite expensive to develop such a complex large aircraft.
So in order to save money, the state decided to stop the Y-10 and instead cooperate with the American company McDonnell Douglas to import aircraft from them.
Not only that, but the production line of the Y-10 was dismantled, making room for McDonnell Douglas' plane. The personnel who participated in the R&D of Yunshi chose to leave, and the whole team fell apart in an instant.
But as it turned out, choosing to work with McDonnell Douglas was a big mistake! McDonnell Douglas had problems with its aircraft technology and was eventually acquired by rival Boeing.
As a result, China's orders with McDonnell Douglas were all yellow, and the domestic aircraft manufacturing market was divided by foreign companies.
The economic losses directly caused by this miscalculation exceeded one trillion yuan! At the same time, it also shattered China's dream of independently developing large aircraft.
One of the most important opportunities in the history of China's civil aviation is gone.
Ma Fengshan also fell into self-doubt and depression. He didn't understand what his years of hard work and dedication were for.
Ma Fengshan was born in that turbulent era, witnessing the planes of the Japanese devils humming overhead, and then dropping merciless shells on innocent people.
He hated those inhumane Japanese soldiers, and at the same time understood a truth:If you fall behind, you will be beaten.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Ma Fengshan was assigned to study aviation in the university as he wished.
At that time, the country most needed to train aviation talents, so Ma Fengshan and they graduated after two years of course, and then they were directly arranged to work in the aircraft factory in Harbin.
Ma Fengshan showed his super talent there, designing many types of aircraft. After the stalemate in Sino-Soviet relations, the Soviet experts who had come to help China left.
Everyone was confused in the face of the drawings left behind, and at this time, Ma Fengshan's notes became valuable information.
Under the leadership of Ma Fengshan, the H-6 aircraft was finally born, and Ma Fengshan is also known as the "father of H-6". After the successful development of the H-6, Ma Fengshan led the team to begin research on civil airliners.
At that time, China was completely blank in terms of civil airliners, and many foreign experts said that China did not have the ability to develop large aircraft.
But Ma Fengshan did not flinch, led the young people to tackle key problems day and night, and finally got China's first self-developed passenger plane Yun Shi.
Ma Fengshan was very happy about this, and the Chinese could finally travel on a large domestic plane. But what Ma Fengshan didn't expect was that the road to mass production of Yunshi encountered many difficulties, twists and turns!
Funding, cycle and other reasons have become stumbling blocks hindering the "Yun Shi" project, and more than ten years of hard work is just a dream.
Today, more than 30 years after the failure of the "Yun Shi", it seems that the discontinuation of the "Yun Shi" is a wrong decision. As a direct result, China has been unable to independently develop large aircraft for many years, and its aviation technology has long relied on imports.
It is a pity that the technology and equipment in the research and development of Yun 10 have been transferred or disassembled, and the experts involved in the research and development have also left.
It was not until 1989, at the insistence of Ma Fengshan, that China restarted the large aircraft development project, and Ma Fengshan continued to serve as the chief designer.
Ma Fengshan, who was in his 60s at the time, devoted his life to this. However, his body was already faltering, and in the end he still did not survive until the day when the large aircraft was successfully developed.
In 1990, Ma Fengshan died of illness at work at the age of 61.
Ma Fengshan devoted his whole life to China's large aircraft industry, but unfortunately did not wait for the results of his hard work. However, his fighting spirit has written a brilliant page in the history of China's aviation.
In difficult times, Ma Fengshan was not afraid of difficulties, adhered to his aviation dream, and made important contributions to the development of China's aviation industry.
Although the "Yun Shi" ended in failure, the spirit left by Ma Fengshan will always inspire future generations.
More than 30 years after his death, China's large civil aircraft C919 finally came out, and China is also moving from an aviation power to an aviation power.
It is hoped that the young generation of China will not forget the entrepreneurial spirit of Ma Fengshan and will not give up Made in China and the Chinese dream.
It is believed that with the joint efforts of the whole country, China will surely go further and further on the journey of becoming an aviation power.
