Abstract:
The MA60 precipitation enhancement aircraft developed in the weather modification capability construction project in Northwest China is a national high-performance seeding aircraft integrating seeding operation, cloud physics detection, real time communication as well as comprehensive display. It fully absorbed the successful achievements and experience in the former seeding aircraft construction project in Northeast China, and further improved designs on the task systems power management, seeding capability, detection system integration, satellite communication function, layout of all outside and in cabin instruments and work consoles. Through convenient operation, it can realize power supply to the task system and each subsystem, and the functions of centralized control, comprehensive display and data storage and sharing. The advanced airborne task system was designed by double or multiple backup detecting system, seeding system and communication system, also guaranteed a stable, reliable operation and functional integrity.
