Chapter 1138 New Boom 8

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ¡°It¡¯s no wonder that the top leaders in the military are like this. I really didn¡¯t expect that the core bomber development and production units with Ascendas Group and Northwest Aviation Factory would go so far on this road.

    In fact, the bomber described in the "Report on the Development Plan of a Bomber with Air Refueling and Long-range Missile Mounting Capabilities" is not unfamiliar to either the headquarters or the top management. It is just the H-8 heavy bomber plan proposed in the 1970s.

    The parameters determined at that time were 48.5 meters in length, 13.85 meters in height, 46.47 meters in wingspan, 65 tons in empty weight, 155 tons in normal take-off weight, 163 tons in maximum take-off weight, 18 tons in maximum bomb load, and 14,000 meters in ceiling.  The maximum range is 11,000 kilometers.

    The overall data looks very good, especially in the 1970s, it was considered a very good bomber.

    But in fact, the entire H-8 can be regarded as a plus enlarged version of the H-6.

    The bomber plan reported by Ascendas Group and Northwest Aviation Factory basically follows this plan, with only slight changes.

    For example, the old H-8 uses six American-made JT-3D turbofan engines, while the new H-8 plan reported by Ascendas Group and Northwest Aviation Factory uses four WD-66ml turboprop engines produced by Ascendas Group.

    The power of a single unit is 7665 kilowatts; the maximum output power is 8710 kilowatts, equivalent to 11842 shaft horsepower.

    Its capability is second only to the nk-12 turboprop engine customized by the former Soviet Union for the Tu-95 strategic bomber.

    Of course, the wd-66ml turboprop engine is not the nk-12 turboprop engine after all. The power difference is more than two thousand kilowatts. Therefore, the maximum takeoff weight of the new H-8 not only cannot reach the 185 tons of the Tu-95 strategic bomber, even the old H-8  The 163 tons of 8 is a bit reluctant.

    Because of this, the maximum takeoff weight of the new H-8 has been reduced to 125 tons.

    However, thanks to the application of a large number of composite materials and lightweight alloy materials, the bomb load of the new H-8 has been increased to 23 tons, which in turn exceeds the maximum bomb load of 20.8 tons of the latest improved Tu-95 Tu-95ms strategic bomber of the former Soviet Union.  quantity.

    Therefore, it can carry an air-launched anti-ship ballistic missile to carry out long-distance anti-ship combat missions outside the first island chain; it can also carry two anti-satellite missiles and launch them at an altitude of 10,000 meters to destroy the enemy's outer space  various satellite systems.

    Of course, not to mention the traditional trinity nuclear deterrence, with a 23-ton bomb load and a range of more than 8,000 kilometers, combined with the DZB-2000 cruise missile, it is enough to carry out various attacks on any target in any direction in the world.  type of strategic strike.

    ¡° However, this is just a transitional model in the new H-8 plan proposed by Ascendas Group and Northwest Airlines, because after all, turboprop engines are not the mainstream power direction of future bombers.

    However, in addition to the wd-66ml turboprop engine, China has actually come up with a suitable military large bypass ratio turbofan engine. The only way to solve the problem of heavy strategic bombers is to use the wd-66ml turboprop engine first.

    After all, as a supplementary plan for the "killer trump card" project, in addition to the daily triad nuclear deterrence, the new H-8 has only two conventional tasks:

    ¡°One is to go forward to the first island chain and use ultra-long-range air-launched anti-ship ballistic missiles to block the large surface ship formations of a large country outside the region at the periphery of the second island chain.

    The other is to carry anti-satellite missiles and carry out the mission of attacking various enemy satellites.

    Based on this, the new H-8 plays more of a role as a large-scale attack weapons transportation platform, and is not suitable for bomber attack tactics such as speed and penetration that were popular in the 1970s and 1980s.

    Even as a pure bomber, with long-range weapons such as the DZB-2000 cruise missile with a range of 2,000 kilometers that can be launched outside the enemy's defense zone, the old method of relying on low-altitude supersonic penetration still seems risky and risky.  Obsolete.

    Because of this, although the new H-8, like the Tu-95, has four large propellers and looks not much different from the bombers during World War II, if anyone dares to underestimate it, the new H-8 will definitely make it difficult for the opponent.  Walk.

    However, meeting demand does not mean standing still. Once Ascendas Group¡¯s new generation of military high-bypass ratio turbofan engines, the wd-66sm turbofan engine with a thrust of 15 to 18 tons, is launched, the new H-8 equipped with new power will make a qualitative leap.

    The most intuitive thing is that there has been a new breakthrough in weapon mounting, that is, the airborne laser weapon system. After all, the turbofan engine is more powerful, can produce greater power output, and can withstand the energy consumption of high-energy lasers, so  The new H-8 equipped with a high-power turbofan engine can be used as a carrier aircraft for high-energy laser weapons and a space-based laser weapon platform. By then, whether it is anti-satellite or intercepting ballistic missiles, the troops will have a new choice.

    As for the final complete version, needless to say, it must be the day Ascendas Group gets on the right track.?He began to work on the research of aircraft radar stealth, that is, stealth strategic bombers.

    It is explained that the new H-8 will have a maximum take-off weight of 150 tons to 180 tons, adopt a flying wing aerodynamic layout, S-shaped inlet, four small bypass ratio wd-66st turbofan engines, and the maximum thrust of a single unit is about 17 tons.

    With a bomb load of 25 tons, it can launch various long-range strike weapons including anti-satellite missiles.

    Able to shuttle between the first island chain and the second island chain silently without being discovered by the enemy under radio silence.

    By then, the Chinese Air Force¡¯s control will officially advance from within the current first island chain to the periphery of the second island chain.

    The concept of the entire report is not too ambitious, and the goals are not too ambitious.

    But it is precisely because of this that it has attracted doubts and objections from many big leaders.

    Not to mention anything else, whether the final stealth bomber is necessary is debated endlessly in the whole world, not to mention domestically. Not to mention anything else, the B-2 strategic stealth bomber that the United States worked hard to build during the Cold War will wait for the Cold War.  Immediately after the end, it suffered cuts, and the final purchase number was only a mere 21 aircraft.

    The reason for this is simply because the cost of this strategic bomber is too expensive. The unit price exceeded 2 billion US dollars in the 1990s, so that the B-2 is more expensive than gold of the same weight.

    Even the only superpower, the United States, is in pain when faced with the expensive B-2. Coupled with the rapid development of off-zone weapons and the rapid development of multi-purpose fighters such as fighter-bombers, they are challenging the traditional status of bombers. Precisely because  In this way, from the day the B-2 was equipped, the voices of doubt became louder and louder.

    Domestic troops who are crossing the river by touching the US military cannot help but notice the voices in the United States questioning the B-2. Therefore, they are also examining whether stealth aircraft can really challenge the future air force.

    With all efforts being made to support the next generation of combat aircraft, it really needs to be carefully examined whether we should support another expensive equipment that even the US military would want to cry after using it.

    However, before the military leaders and others could come to a clear conclusion, they suddenly discovered that the first phase of the New H-8 project seemed to have been completed. To be more precise, Yun-18nb and the New H-8 project  There is only one legal name conversion between 8.

    Because the text pointed by the leader next to the military leader was very clear: "We have begun to conduct tests on the opening and retraction of large bomb bays on a self-developed aircraft model, and have obtained extremely valuable test results.  data and operational experience.¡±
