Rebirth in 1989: Creating the Chinese Technology Empire

Chapter 231: Picking off another industrial pearl: the violent aircraft engine

In an underground laboratory of Saxo Aviation Research Institute, the boss and Xu Huasheng were standing next to the railing on the second floor, watching the experimenters on the first floor experiment.

The first floor is a huge space, and there is a large and complex test bench in the room.

At this moment, on the experimental platform, an aerospace engine is emitting beautiful blue flames. The huge flames look very beautiful.

The most shocking thing is that with the control of the researchers, the nozzles at the back began to rotate in different directions, and the blue flames also changed directions with the nozzles, which was very shocking.

The various advanced instruments on the test bench are also constantly recording various data. This test bench is more advanced than the engine test bench of any domestic airline. All data are recorded by computers, and every minute data is recorded. Can be recorded.

"Sir, this engine is a high-thrust turbofan military engine that we are currently researching. This engine has been finalized and is in the fatigue endurance test stage. According to the current experimental data, various aspects of this engine All data are very good. Our engine is even better than the one used on the American F16. This engine is a vector engine with a current maximum thrust of 16 tons and a thrust-to-weight ratio of 10..."

Xu Huasheng began to explain this engine to the boss.This engine is internally codenamed "Taishan".

This engine is a simplified version of the vector engine proposed by Xu Huasheng. Although it is simplified, the design is decades ahead of engines of this era.

这也造就了泰山发动机目前强大的性能，16吨的推力是很强大了。要知道f16a/b上面的发动机推力不过10.6吨，而f16c/d的发动机的推力也不过13.2吨而已。

Now the thrust of Taishan's first model has reached 16 tons, and the engine used by the F16 is not currently a vector engine, which is quite different from Taishan.

An engine with such performance is still a general-purpose engine.Single shot can be used, double shot can also be used.Light fighter jets can be used, as can heavy fighter jets.

You have to know the original time and space. The turbofan 10 engine used by the Chinese J-14 fighter at the beginning had a thrust of only 15 tons, and the later turbofan 18 was only [-] tons.

Therefore, the power of this Taishan engine in this era is more than sufficient and quite violent, especially for the No. [-] machine.

In the future, with the breakthrough of new technologies and new materials, Taishan will be furious when it reaches its full version.The thrust of the full version of Taishan reaches an astonishing 26 tons. The J-[-] equipped with the full version of Taishan can reach a top speed of three times the speed of sound, which is quite powerful.

"How is the lifespan of our engine?"

The old man couldn't help but ask.

"Sir, there are two standards for the life of an engine. One is the service life, which is the total life of an engine from use to scrapping. The other is called the overhaul life, which is the life of the engine from being put into use to overhaul. Some of us We always like to compare our service life with that of Europe and the United States to highlight that our technology is too far behind. This has ulterior motives. Moreover, the service life and service life of military engines and civilian engines are also different. Civilian engines, for the first time Many of the refurbishment lives are more than 1 or even [-] hours, and the total service life is as high as [-], [-] or even hundreds of thousands of hours. When these civilian engines are basically used and scrapped, the aircraft should also be scrapped. But military The engine is different..."

Xu Huasheng began to explain to the boss the division of engine service life.

"The current design service life of our engine is 10000 hours, and the design overhaul life is 16 hours. This data is very excellent. Comparing the same type of engines in the Soviet Union and the United States, the engine overhaul life of the American F8000 should be about 6000 hours hours, with a total service life of about 4000 hours. However, the same engine in the Soviet Union has a refurbishment life of only [-] hours, and a total service life of about [-] hours. This is their own engine, and the export model has the longest refurbishment life. [-] hours…”

Xu Huasheng said seriously that renovation life and total service life are two different standards.Xu Huasheng knew that in order to promote the West, many leading parties in China always compared the refurbishment life of Chinese engines with the service life of engines in Western countries.

Or compare military engines with civilian engines to fool some people who don't understand and belittle China.

"So, our engine is better than the American engine?"

The old man couldn't help but ask, with excitement in his eyes.

"Yes, just comparing the engines on the American F16 and F15, our engine is indeed much better than theirs. However, the United States definitely has more advanced engines, and there are even more projects they are developing. There is no way for us to compare with advanced engines. We have just started here, and we still have to admit the gap and see the gap. However, this gap will slowly narrow. I believe that in the future, our engines will not be weaker than the United States or surpass the United States... "

Xu Huasheng had confidence on his face, it will definitely be like this in the future.

The boss nodded. He also believed that there would eventually be such a day. The United States only developed a few years earlier than China. As long as it worked hard to catch up, it would definitely catch up.Although he couldn't see that time, he felt that there would definitely be such a day.

The experiment with the Taishan engine made the boss feel extremely happy. With this engine, the biggest obstacle to China's fighter jets has been eliminated.

This engine is a universal engine, and different models can appear in the future to equip different aircraft models.Whether it is a double-engine or a single-engine model, whether it is an Air Force model or a Navy model, there is no problem at all.

The engine series currently being developed by Saxo Aviation include not only the "Taishan" series developed for fighter jets, but also the "Kunlun" series of engines developed for transport aircraft, and the "Dahuang" series developed for bombers.

The "Taishan" series will be equipped on a series of fighter jets, including future stealth fighters.

The "Kunlun" series are mainly used on transport aircraft, including Yun-20, Yun-30, and even Yun-40.

The "Dahuang" series is mainly used in bombers. Currently, the first machine of the "Dahuang" is mainly the reverse development of the engine on the White Swan. In the future, after fully absorbing these technical data, a more powerful engine will be developed.

Three series directly solve the heart problem of Chinese fighters!
