Regarding China¡¯s decision to take off, even domestic colleagues are not optimistic about it, let alone the Russian aviation industry. It is simply treated as a joke and used as a source of conversation for them after dinner.
Even the supporting manufacturers of some of the remaining R-79-300 turbofan engines in Russia are ready, waiting for China Tengfei to stumble on the road to self-developed vertical take-off and landing engines, and then they can take advantage of the situation and attack China Tengfei. Severely tear off a large piece of flesh and blood.
The Russians are still very confident in this. Not to mention the Chinese, even the Americans, who have the strongest aviation technology in the world, have to obediently come over to learn the basic concepts and general framework of the R-79-300 turbofan engine. ?
There is no way. Who made the R-79-300 turbofan engine technical solution with super large thrust, three-bearing vector nozzle and large bypass ratio determined in the Soviet era to be unique in the world? Since it is unique, it cannot be surpassed. , arrogant Americans have to admit, how can you Chinese have the right to be arrogant?
What¡¯s more, don¡¯t the Russians know how much China has in aviation engines?
Even the basic industrial system was built with the help of the former Soviet Union. You can tell how much shit the Chinese can poop without sticking their butts out, but the general estimate of the amount is still very different.
For this reason, many Russian friends came to persuade Zhuang Jianye, hoping that he would give up his unrealistic illusions. Among them were the former chief designer of the Yakovlev Design Bureau and the current chairman of the reorganized Tengfei-Yakovlev Aviation Production Company. Malenovsky, chief engineer of the complex.
For this reason, this old Russian man made a special trip from Yekaterinburg to Xingzhou, and earnestly advised Zhuang Jianye not to go to extremes, but to hold his breath and cooperate with the Russian aviation engine industry first. After solving any problems, he talked about further development. The problem.
Just like China introduced the Su-27 fighter jet and its supporting al-31 turbofan engine in the early 1990s, through a gradual process, the overall localization was finally completed.
It has to be said that Malenovsky¡¯s opinion is still that of an old man seeking the country. After all, compared to blind self-improvement, it is indeed a good choice to continue using the R-79-300 turbofan engine, even if it requires supporting supplies from Russia. Although manufacturers have to pay high equipment procurement fees and patent fees, it is still very beneficial to domestic equipment development. At the worst, China can quickly complete the development of vertical take-off and landing fighter jets, providing the navy with a highly flexible carrier-based aircraft. Options.
From this perspective, money is not a problem at all.
In this regard, Zhuang Jianye expressed his sincere gratitude to Malenovsky, and also gave this veteran expert from the Soviet Union who was nearly 70 years old in aiding China the title of Chief Technical Advisor of Ascendas Group, which made Malenovsky The monthly salary of US$4,000 has increased to US$12,000 per month, which is equivalent to a change in promotion and salary increase.
This shows that Zhuang Jianye's gratitude is not false, but even so, Zhuang Jianye still rejected Malenovsky's proposal. It was not that Zhuang Jianye did not want to take shortcuts, but that the reality faced by the country did not allow them to take shortcuts to take off.
There is no way, the F-22 of a large country outside the region has begun trial production of equipment models, and the YF-35 that matches it is also undergoing intensive test flights. In the future, it will be equipped in large quantities with the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps, thus forming a threat to the world. Absolute generation difference.
Although the r-79-300 turbofan engine has many advantages, its shortcomings are also very obvious. The most typical one is that it consumes a lot of fuel, with an average fuel consumption rate of 0.87. In vertical take-off and landing operations, the fuel consumption rate will be astonishing. 1.42, simply the most oily among oily tigers.
The 6.2 tons of fuel built into the vertical take-off and landing verification machine simply cannot withstand the consumption of the R-79-300 turbofan engine. Let alone reach a combat radius of 1,200 kilometers, it would be good to be able to reach the edge of 800 kilometers. .
Secondly, the dead weight is too large, with the bare metal weight exceeding 2.6 tons. This is too bloated for an aeroengine. Even if the thrust is greater, it will have an irreversible impact on the overall structure of the aircraft.
Finally, and the most critical factor is that the service life is extremely short. There is no way that the R-79-300 turbofan engine itself is an immature product. The overall experimental time is only 1,500 hours. Many problems have not yet been improved. Because the disintegration of the Soviet Union ended hastily, under such circumstances, the service life and safety performance of the R-79-300 turbofan engine are qualified.
Zhuang Jianye wouldn¡¯t even know how to use such an engine that boosts overall performance immediately after it is installed. What¡¯s more, China Takeoff¡¯s positioning of vertical takeoff and landing fighters is fundamentally different from that of the former Soviet Union.
The former Soviet Union treats vertical take-off and landing fighter jets just like their crappy aircraft carriers. They don¡¯t have a clear positioning at all. This is why the Soviet Union¡¯s aircraft carriers are more often called aircraft-carrying cruisers.
Since it is an aircraft-carrying cruiser, what are the specific combat capabilities of the aircraft on it?The technical tasks are very embarrassing, because for air defense there are ship-based air defense missiles, for anti-ship there are supersonic anti-ship missiles, and for anti-submarine there are anti-submarine helicopters. All the tasks that fixed-wing aircraft can do are divided into divisions, so what is the use of them?
Naturally, it is used for aerial reconnaissance, expulsion of those spying reconnaissance planes that follow behind, and bullying of small ships with small displacement. In other words, the Soviet vertical take-off and landing fighter jets are a dispensable supplement, never a big one. The main frontal force of the fleet.
"Compared with the Soviet Union's almost vague positioning, China Takeoff's positioning of vertical takeoff and landing fighters is much clearer. Except for the special mode of vertical takeoff and landing, all requirements are designed according to multi-purpose fighter jets.
Not only does it have ultra-low-altitude defense penetration capabilities, powerful anti-ship and ground attack capabilities, but it also has extremely strong air combat capabilities. It can be said to be a sea and air all-rounder with balanced comprehensive strength.
It is basically the same as the position of the "Sea Harrier" fighter, the main force of British aviation, in the Falklands naval battle.
But unlike the Sea Harrier¡¯s short legs and low speed, in order to cope with the challenges of the yf-35 in the future, China Takeoff places special emphasis on speed and range on its vertical take-off and landing fighter jets.
Especially the medium and long-distance air raid capability has become the focus of China Takeoff¡¯s implementation of vertical take-off and landing fighter jets.
¡°After all, the focus of future military struggles is on the southeastern coast. The focus is not on fighting for the islands, but on preventing the intervention of a major power outside the region.
Therefore, whether the navy is equipped with a real aircraft carrier or a low-cost strategic delivery ship, it must set up a position outside the first island chain before the military struggle on the southeast coast begins. On the one hand, it can deter external intervention forces and prevent careerists from getting too hot-headed; On the other hand, carrier-based aircraft can be used to conduct a pincer attack on an island from the north to the south, forcing it to collapse quickly.
To this end, the Navy's vision is to use two large aircraft carriers, coupled with heavy carrier-based aircraft, to carry out anti-intervention operations; three amphibious landing ships cruise in the southwest waters of a certain island. As a mobile force, they can support the anti-intervention operations of the aircraft carrier formations and can be used at any time. Implement a three-dimensional landing operation on the outside of an island.
However, whether it is support or raid, a vertical take-off and landing fighter with sufficient range is an indispensable necessity.
