Rebirth of the Auto Giant

Chapter 625 Mr. 9’s verification machine and large transport aircraft project

In the test workshop of Tang Fei Company in Shanghai, the turbofan 9 engine is hoisted by workers and installed on the test bench.

At the scene were Wang Shi, Chairman of Tang Dynasty Group, Huang Shan, Director of Tang Fei Manufacturing Plant, as well as technical experts, including Bernardkovsky, an engine material expert who was successively introduced from Ukraine, and Godfriski, the chief designer of the engine.

There is aerodynamic expert Crofts, an expert who has participated in and was responsible for the materials of two large transport aircraft, An-225 and An-124.

These three top experts were the first to introduce world-class aircraft to Wang Shi. Later, some experts also came over.

Now Tangfei's technical team covers a variety of experts in fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, machinery, electrical, materials, control, computers, radar, communications, etc.

Under the leadership of these experts, domestic reserve talents have also been cultivated, making the entire team of Tang Fei Company no less professional than those abroad.

With the technical reserves of Turbofan 8 and the participation of dozens of world-class experts, the design plan of Turbofan 9 was finalized in more than three years, and soon the first test machine was launched today.

Start testing.

Turbofan 9 is the first vector aeroengine since the establishment of Tang Fei Company.

Turbofan 9 performance parameters:

Afterburner thrust:161865-181373n→201647n

Middle thrust:10522dan

Afterburner fuel consumption rate: 1.98kg/dan/h

Intermediate fuel consumption rate: 0.67kg/dan/h

Thrust to weight ratio:9.7-10.87

Air flow:138kg/s

Bypass ratio: 0.25

Total boost ratio: 30.5

Turbine inlet temperature: 1850k

Maximum diameter:1.02m

Length:5.05m

Mass:1633.7kg

In this regard, thanks to the introduction of many Ukrainian experts with high salaries, most of these experts have participated in the development of vector engine designs before, so the design of the turbofan 9 this time was also very smooth.

Currently, only the United States and Russia are capable of designing and producing vector engines, and China is still blank in this field.

The most mature vector engine in the world is Pratt & Whitney's F119-PW-100 afterburning vector turbofan engine equipped on the US F22, but it can only turn in two dimensions and not 360 degrees.

When the thrust-to-weight ratio reaches 10 and without afterburner, the aircraft can cruise at supersonic speed for about half an hour.

The Russian 117s vector engine can rotate 360 ​​degrees, and the Russian engine is more advanced in technology.

Bernardkovsky and the others stood aside while the assistants cooperated with the technical workers to install the engine on the test bench and plugged in dense lines to connect it to the computer server.

These servers were developed by engineers from Wang Shirang's Computer Technology Department and experts from Tang Fei Company. They were specially designed to test various engine technologies. They are the core technology of Tang Dynasty Group and are also protected by the state.

"Chairman, the representative of the Air Force is here." Wang Shi was watching the employees connect to the line. He heard Huang Shan answer a call and then hung up the phone and said to Wang Shi.

"Oh?" When Wang Shi heard this, it was not surprising.

"It's outside the gate now." Huang Shan said.

"Let's go out to greet you." After hearing this, Wang Shi turned around and walked out, letting everyone continue working. He arrived at the gate of Tang Fei Company in a car and saw four military personnel led by the Air Force being inspected.

Tang Fei's company is very large, and the test workshop is far from the main gate, so we can't do it without taking a car.

Tang Fei Company is now a state-secret unit, and all security guards are guarded by armed WJs. Entry and exit must be strictly inspected. Without a work permit issued by the state, even if the mayor comes, you cannot enter.

When the other party arrived, they had already applied for access passes from above. The WJ soldiers checked with detectors and put away everyone's mobile phones and other electrical equipment.

"Generals, I have been wronged. This is the rule. Please understand." Wang Shi said sheepishly as he looked at everyone.

"That's how it should be. What's the grievance? I wouldn't be happy if it wasn't strict. Come and take us to see it. I can't wait." said a sixty-year-old leader.

"Old Huang, why are you so anxious?" A general of the same rank next to him looked at the other person and said.

"You, Old Li, are not in a hurry, but I am," General Huang said.

General Huang, who is in charge of general equipment, heard that Tang Fei Company conducted a test of a turbofan 9 aero engine today. After applying to the superiors, four people flew over in a special plane.

The other assistants and others could only wait outside, and only four leaders came in.

Entering the courtyard of Tang Fei Company, Wang Shi followed everyone and introduced the performance index of turbofan 9 to everyone.

The current research and development and production work of Turbofan 9 is in the confidentiality stage.

Only a small number of people can know about it, so the authorities have recently strengthened their security manpower to ensure the safety of Mr. 9.

For these experts, the relevant national security departments have also protected these experts in private.

These are national-level talents, and losing one of them is a huge loss to the entire aviation industry.

"The thrust-to-weight ratio has reached 10, which is a good thing. If the quality can be guaranteed and the service life is qualified, the combat effectiveness of our air force will reach a higher level." General Huang heard Wang Shi's introduction and heard that the thrust-to-weight ratio had reached 10.

Said happily.

He is in the equipment business, so he knows best what this means.

"We are only producing one verification machine now. In terms of quality, it still needs to go through long-term testing. It is still unknown at present, but we are confident because our company has the world's top expert team." Wang Shi said.

"Well, I also know something about this. Xiao Wang, you have a long-term vision. After all, you are a young man. As the old saying goes, there is a quick hand, but a slow hand does not. Your decision back then was correct."

Wang Shi also knew that the Tang Fei company he established was already registered with it, and it was normal for everyone to know these past events.

"The general received the award. It was just a hot-headed moment." Wang Shi said modestly.

"It's not pleasant at all. If it works, it will work. If it doesn't work, it won't work. Why are you so humble? You are afraid that we will steal your company." General Huang looked at Wang Shi and said when he heard that Wang Shi was dishonest.

"Haha." Wang Shi looked at the other party and knew that soldiers have always been straightforward.

Everyone got in the car and came to the core engine testing workshop of Tang Fei Company. There were WJ soldiers standing guard inside. After checking the pass and body inspection, everyone walked in.

Turbofan 9 has been prepared. After Wang Shi and others arrived, Wang Shi asked: "Are you all ready?"

"Yes." Bernardkovsky responded.

Bernardkovsky has been living in China in the past few years and has learned Chinese somewhat. Moreover, his family has become a Chinese national and his children are also working in China.

"Then let's get started."

General Huang looked at Master 9’s 360-degree-rotating jagged tail nozzle and said: “This is the first time I have seen a vector engine with my own eyes. I have only seen it on a computer before. I didn’t expect that we would have our own vector engine so early.

"After General Huang finished speaking, he praised Wang Shi again.

"Our vector engine technology also inherits Russian technology. Most of the core experts of the company's technical team participated in the development of Su's vector engine. That's why we were able to develop it in such a short period of three years.

Create your own vector engine." Wang Shi introduced.

Vector engine technology is a national secret of every country. If it is not developed by itself, no matter how much money you spend, you will not be able to buy it because it is a national secret technology that is prohibited from export.

We ourselves have not developed it twenty years later.

Materials and technology are the most difficult hurdles to break through, especially the turbine blades inside the engine. If it weren’t for these experts and their own research and development efforts, it would not have been possible to develop them even in thirty years, let alone three years.

boom

The engine shook and let out a roar, ignition started, and the serrated tail nozzle spurted orange flames.

Everyone wore headsets and came to the computer that was used to observe and record various engine indicators.

Bernardkovsky explained the data in each column that appeared on the computer.

"In other words, without adding thrust, the design requirements are currently met?" General Huang asked.

"That's the case so far." Crofts, an aerodynamics expert, replied on the sidelines.

The engine ran for a while. After ten minutes, I saw that all data were stable.

"Test the thrust." Wang Shi looked at Bernardkovsky and said.

Bernardkovsky gestured to his assistant.

boom!

A huge amount of heat was ejected from the tail nozzle, and the color of the tail nozzle also changed from orange to blue, and the ejected heat leaked out along the test tunnel.

"The color of the tail nozzle has changed from orange to blue. This is a sign of increased thrust. It seems to be OK now. I don't know what the quality and life are." General Huang said while looking at the flames in the tail nozzle.

Then the jagged tail nozzle was specially tested and rotated 360 degrees to test the flexibility and reliability of the vector.

After testing it back and forth several times, everything was normal, and the first verification machine was a complete success.

"Generals, everyone has also read it. Anyway, the current situation is like this. The quality needs to be tested more scientifically. It will take a long time. Let's sit in my office." Everyone watched for half an hour.

, everyone has met, Wang Shi invited everyone to his office.

"Let's go, few people go into the richest man's office," General Huang said.

Everyone arrived at Wang Shi's office, and the staff made tea for everyone and then went out.

"Xiao Wang, this thing is really important to us. You have to get some snacks. If the quality is reliable, judging from the current performance index, with such a good engine, our fighter planes will not have to worry about it.

There is enough engine, and there is no need to import it from abroad. If we make some corresponding improvements on our J10 and replace it with a vector engine, the combat effectiveness of the J10 will be even more powerful."

In January 2004, the Air Force began to equip the J10.

The J10 equipment marks that our country has become the fourth country in the world that can independently develop advanced fighter jets, greatly shortening the gap with developed countries.

The successful development of the J10 is a landmark event in the history of my country's aerospace industry, and it assumes the great mission of protecting the motherland's airspace.

If the turbofan 9 is successfully developed and equipped with a vector engine, it will be able to make all kinds of weird movements, such as snake-shaped and leaf-shaped, which will greatly improve its air combat capabilities.

"Can we produce several units for testing at the same time?" General Huang said.

"The general is right. The next step is to produce a few units and test one function on each unit. This will shorten the testing time." Wang Shi responded.

"We haven't given you any money. The country's expenditure on this is limited. Besides, you are the richest man in the country. You are not short of money. Apart from money, if you need our support if you have anything else you can ask for. If I can do it, I will definitely do it."

Will help." General Huang said.

"With General Huang's words, I can rest assured. I have indeed encountered some problems at the moment." Wang Shi heard the general speak. If he didn't know how to use it, wouldn't it be a loss?

"You can't tell that these are polite words, are you serious?" General Huang looked at Wang Shi with a smile and said.

"There is no joke in the army," Wang Shi said.

"Tell me, seeing as you have made so many contributions to the motherland, tell me if I can do it." General Huang said.

"That's right. As our reform and opening up continue to deepen, in terms of security, I want to add more manpower to provide some covert protection for some of our experts."

"Now Tang Fei Company has also achieved some results. This is inseparable from the efforts of these experts. It turns out that opponents will know it as long as they inquire about it. I am afraid that they will be detrimental to these experts, or directly threaten them." It's all a ploy.

There is no need to explain clearly what Wang Shi means by those who have fought against each other.

"Your opinion is very important. I will apply to the higher authorities to improve the security level of these experts when I get back. However, we are here today. In addition to watching the test of turbofan 9, there is another indicator." General Huang said.

"General, please speak."

"It's like this. The country has established a large transport aircraft project and plans to compete with several powerful domestic companies. Your company has the technical reserves of the T2000 medium-sized civil aviation aircraft. I hope you will join the competition. The above

I still have great confidence in you." General Huang said.

"Large transport plane?" Wang Shi's mind immediately thought of transporting 20 fat girls.

"Yes." General Huang nodded, "In order to improve the military's long-range delivery capability, the higher authorities have established a project to produce large transport aircraft. You are the most powerful company with strong technical reserves. Of course, other companies are not weak either."

Remote delivery capability has always been our shortcoming.

Our country has a vast land, and at present, the transfer of troops mainly relies on land transportation.

Compared with notifying large transport aircraft, land transportation is still far behind in timeliness and has poor concealment.

If the enemy destroys the road by then, it will be a huge blow to land transportation, especially trains and high-speed rail.

Transport is fast and only requires one airport.

"Please rest assured that the organization will complete the task." Wang Shi said.

Now Wang Shi has also joined the D and is also a D member.

"How many aircraft are you planning to purchase?" Wang Shi finally asked.

"As long as the product is good enough, you don't have to worry about the output. You won't lose money." General Huang pointed at Wang Shi and said, "You're a profiteer."
