Although what Zhuang Jianye came up with is awesome, the entire wd-80s turbofan engine is not fundamentally different from the Zhenlong Max. It was all created by Zhuang Jianye.
Yes, there is still a lot of controversy within Ascendas Group over the direction of the next-generation fighter jets and the technical route for the powertrain of the next-generation combat aircraft. There is no unified consensus, and naturally there is no corresponding development path.
However, having a certain product does not mean that there is no advance research investment, and the core element of the advance investment is the aerospace engine.
There is no way. After more than ten years of aviation industry development experience, Ascendas Group has reached a consensus from top to bottom, that is, the development of aircraft is essentially the development of power.
Translated into vernacular, as long as there is enough power, bricks can fly into the sky.
Because of this, when major domestic aviation research institutes and production units advocated production, research, and pre-research of one generation, Ascendas Group did not blindly follow the trend and create new aircraft or new layouts; instead, it devoted most of its energy to In the development of aerospace engines.
After all, there are too many institutions in China engaged in aerodynamics, wind tunnel testing and aircraft structural layout. There are only a few Duo Tengfei Group and a lot Shao Tengfei Group. There is almost no power to provide various types of research or pre-research aircraft. Look at it. On this point, Zhuang Jianye's idea is simple and crude. There are many models in pre-development and less usable power. It will be much easier for Ascendas Group to produce new aircraft. It can purchase the complete design and copyright of each model from any research unit. , and then install Ascendas Group¡¯s aero engines on it, and you will have a new model.
In fact, this is how the True Dragon 2 technology verification machine came about.
The original design was a medium-sized combat aircraft that a research institute in Beijing spent four years designing. It was rejected when participating in the Air Force's bidding process. Zhuang Jianye became interested in this model when he was invited to visit the research institute three years ago. If you are interested, you can even put forward the intention to purchase.
Since they are scrapped items anyway, it would be best if they could be sold, so the leaders of the institute not only agreed happily, but also changed the model of the aircraft from medium to light for Ascendas Group free of charge.
After receiving the design drawings, Ascendas Group immediately used its strong technical capabilities and craftsmanship to quickly produce the prototype, and then installed it with Ascendas Group's excellent powertrain. A high-quality and low-priced technology verification aircraft was born. And born.
Based on the model of Zhenlong 2, Ascendas Group has more firmly decided on the research and development idea of ??aero-engine first and aircraft model later. At this time, the second-generation core aircraft began mass production, and Ascendas Group¡¯s medium-thrust aero-engine was launched.
So the development of the third-generation core machine began, and this time, Ascendas Group¡¯s goal was not to just make small fuss, but to set its sights on the real high-end and implement the so-called corner overtaking.
After all, as the core of the "No Regrets" plan, Ascendas Group has made great determination, so the third-generation core machine directly exceeded the original 13 MW level and was directly upgraded to 17 MW.
From 6 MW in the second generation to 17 MW in the third generation, the difficulty is the same as the span between the two, and it is not a bit bigger.
" However, once the 17-megawatt third-generation core machine achieves a breakthrough and is mass-produced, it will have fundamental changes in the domestic aviation industry, shipbuilding, power systems, nuclear power equipment and even mining machinery.
If nothing else, as long as the 17-megawatt third-generation core aircraft is mass-produced, it will mean a key breakthrough in the power of the next-generation combat aircraft, because the small-bypass-ratio aeroengine derived from this core aircraft The thrust-to-weight ratio will reach 10.6; the thrust without afterburner will be 10 tons; the thrust with afterburner will reach 14 tons.
With the vector nozzle, it fully meets the basic needs of the next generation of combat aircraft.
In addition to the next generation of combat aircraft, the large bypass ratio turbofan engines of the new generation of civilian mainline airliners are also inseparable from the 17-megawatt third-generation core engine, because it is a super-large thrust turbofan engine with a thrust of 30 tons to 50 tons. The key.
As for the field of shipbuilding, the application scenarios of the 17-megawatt third-generation core machine are even wider. The gas turbines of the Navy¡¯s new generation of main destroyers no longer need to rely on foreign technology. Ships derived from the 17-megawatt third-generation core machine The power output of the gas turbine can fully meet the needs of all large surface ships with a displacement of 6,000 tons to 44,000 tons.
It is no exaggeration to say that the 17-megawatt third-generation core machine will be a key infrastructure product for the development of various domestic industries in the future.
It is also the most important profit growth point for Ascendas Group in the next 20 years.
Yes, once the 17-megawatt third-generation core machine achieves a breakthrough, Ascendas Group will get a golden mountain.
Let¡¯s not talk about the next generation of domestic combat aircraft.If the demand is met, how many 17-megawatt high-thrust aero engines derived from the third-generation core aircraft will be needed for the improved third-generation combat aircraft?
Not only in aviation, but also in the field of shipbuilding. The navy's dumplings are equivalent to the crazy slicing of high-power marine gas turbines derived from Ascendas Group's 17-megawatt third-generation core machine.
Regardless of anything else, these two items alone can fully fill Ascendas Group¡¯s production capacity. If you include large aircraft and civilian electricity, Ascendas Group¡¯s orders can wrap around the earth two or three times.
How much is this property worth, and how much should the profit be?
As the saying goes, a 20% profit can drive capitalists crazy, and the profit that a 17-megawatt third-generation core machine can create is more than 20%. It is strange that Zhuang Jianye is not crazy, so the investment is even crazier.
Buying mines in Central Asia to mine rhenium; spending money to produce Alloy .
All of this actually has only one purpose, which is to prepare for the hx-25-17 third-generation core machine.
From this perspective, even if there is no development plan for the WD-80S turbofan engine, it cannot be said that Ascendas Group has not developed the next generation aeroengine, because the third generation core aircraft of the HX-25-17 is the WD-80S turbofan engine. The heart is the soul of the WD-80s turbofan engine.
The aircraft engine is the most critical equipment of the aircraft, but the technical content is extremely high. Even if it is fully disclosed, not many can be made. Therefore, if you want to shock the Emiratis and Algerians to fainting, you are not worried about being stolen. , aviation engines are the best entry point.
No, Zhuang Jianye himself didn¡¯t need to promote that they were developing the next generation combat aircraft. Experts from both countries began to endorse it. Among them, Aziz was the most authentic. He looked at the test bed, then at Zhuang Jianye and others. , his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he asserted quite confidently: "The next generation combat aircraft is not a gimmick, Ascendas Group is really serious about doing it."
