A rocket researcher switched his career to snowmaking. Can the shell of the Fat Five also be used to make Winter Olympics helmets?

In the snow-covered

A bright snow car passed by like a gust of wind

China Aerospace Team and China FAW Group

"Rocket Man" and "Autobot Man" form a joint research team

Successfully achieved a breakthrough in domestic bobsleigh production

⬆️The first two-person carbon fiber snowmobile in China

From Nothing to Something

From Good to Excellent

From blank to stunning

From catching up to surpassing

Behind the beautiful "turnaround" of the domestic "Ice and Snow F1"

It is the strong support provided by aerospace core technology

⬆️Engineers start technical research

Rockets and Snowmobiles

Seemingly unrelated

In fact, there are many things in common

Like a rocket

Snowmobile also pursues resistance reduction, weight reduction and safety

Therefore, referring to the "two general system" of aerospace engineering

China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation 703 Institute

A special research team was quickly formed

⬆️Aerospace technology personnel took a photo with the first generation of snowmobiles

From "working behind closed doors" with drawings

Introducing "Dissecting Sparrow" from abroad

Domestic bobsleigh relies on core aerospace technology support

Fusion

High-performance domestically produced T800-grade carbon fiber composite material technology

Minimize the weight of the snowmobile and lower its center of gravity

Make the snowmobile slide more smoothly

Integral Forming Technology of Complex Snow Vehicle Structure

Ensures high-quality preparation of complex snowmobiles

Aerodynamic shape technology with low wind resistance

It is estimated that it can improve competition results by 0.3 to 0.5 seconds

Not unique

Aerospace technology supports the Beijing Winter Olympics

Also enabled on ski helmets

Dalian University of Technology

National Defense Science and Technology Innovation Team

Applying aerospace thin-wall structure design technology

Developed a high-performance ski helmet

This helmet is not ordinary

It uses the help of my country's large rocket "Fat Five"

Shell manufacturing technology

The weight is only about 700g

The protection performance is at least 20% higher than the European standard

What makes me even more proud is

Among the 109 Winter Olympic events

It took China only a few years

It was realized from about 1/3 of the blank

Full project development, full project team building, full project training

China can even manufacture rockets and satellites

You can always trust their strength.

Looking forward to the Olympic athletes

Achieve great results on the field
