主制造商】中航工业哈飞运12F飞机赴加拿大自然结冰试飞成功
据中国民用航空网讯：3月9日，记者从民航局（CAAC）获悉，中航工业哈飞运12F飞机在加拿大自然结冰适航验证试验中获取的飞行数据合格有效，得到局方初步认可，这标志着运12F飞机自然结冰适航验证试验圆满成功。
1月26日，哈飞运12F飞机赴加拿大蒙特利尔开展自然结冰适航验证试验。自2月9日至2月22日，运12F共进行了5次自然结冰试飞，完成了适航大纲规定的全部试飞科目。此后，试飞团队对试飞数据进行了深入分析处理，确认了飞行时的大气环境条件满足CCAR25部附录C的相关要求，满足局方批准的飞行大纲试验要求，飞行数据合格有效，圆满完成了自然结冰适航验证的全部任务。3月5日，试飞团队地面工作人员从蒙特利尔返回国内。
运-12F飞机是中航工业哈飞瞄准国内外市场需求，汇集30年通用飞机研制经验，广泛应用航空领域成熟新技术，采用中国、美国最新适航标准研制的新一代双发涡桨通用支线飞机。运-12F飞机可广泛应用于客货运输、海洋监测、空投伞降、航空摄影、地质勘探、医疗救护、人工降雨等多种用途。
与世界同级别的竞争机型相比，运-12F飞机在商载、航程、速度及综合效能等方面优势明显。它的优势不仅体现在更大的客舱容积、更大的商载、更快的速度、更远的航程、单发能力强、高原适应好等卓越性能，在飞机吨·公里/小时运营成本指标上，运-12F飞机更是排名第一，是竞争机型的1.3~2倍。

According to the China Civil Aviation Network news, the reporter learned from CAAC on March 9, 2017 that the flight test data of AVIC-HAFEI’s Y-12F aircraft obtained during the natural icing airworthiness test in Canada has been approved by the authority. The data has been recognized as qualified and valid. This marks the success of the Y-12F aircraft natural icing campaign.
On January 26, 2017, HAFEI’s Y-12F aircraft B-002 set out for Montreal, Canada to carry out natural icing airworthiness tests. From February 9 to February 22, that is to say in only 13 days, the Y-12F conducted in total five natural icing flights, and completed all airworthiness authorities’ required test matrix. After that, the flight test team carried out in-depth post-processing and analysis of the flight test data, confirmed that the atmospheric conditions at the time of flight test met the requirements of Appendix A of CCAR 25 by CAAC. The flight data being valid and effective, and with all tasks of the natural icing airworthiness campaign successfully completed, on March 5 the flight test team ground staff left Montreal for home.
The Y-12F aircraft is a new generation of twin-turboprop general regional aircraft. To meet the demands of both domestic and foreign markets, HAFEI brings together 30 years of experience in the design of general aviation aircraft. Mature and new aviation technologies have been adopted to comply with the latest airworthiness standards of both China and the USA. Y-12F aircraft can be widely used in passenger and cargo transport, marine monitoring, air-drop and parachuting, aerial photography, geological exploration, medical rescue, clouds seeding and many other purposes.
Compared with competing models, the Y-12F’s advantages are not only in the larger cabin capacity, greater payload, faster speed, farther range, higher single engine performance, high altitude adaptability, but also in terms of aircraft ton*km/hour operating cost index, for which the Y-12F is ranks first by a factor of 1.3 to 2 times over its closest competitors.
