"Academician Chen, how are you going to deliver an aircraft that meets the requirements within a week? This isn't child's play!" After the meeting, the representatives of the research institutions along with experts in aircraft development and manufacturing approached Chen Xin with concern.
The experts in aircraft development and manufacturing couldn't help but furrow their brows, as even with decades of experience, they couldn't fathom why Chen Xin was confident about promising a solution in a week's time.
The timeline for designing an aircraft has always been measured in years, and the Y-9 transport aircraft took from its initial project approval in 1969 to finally debuting in 2005.
Although there were various issues causing the Y-9's development to be interrupted, the time needed for aircraft development is evident.
Even if Chen Xin was only making improvements to the Y-9, it's not something that can be completed in just a week.
