So while other military services still adhere to the traditional industrial structure and put relevant equipment into agreed-upon production plants for production, the Air Force took the lead in breaking this situation and introduced the big catfish of China Takeoff.
This move naturally caused an uproar, because it was tantamount to tampering with the cake among the relevant companies, and it was completely deviant in the eyes of many old leaders.
The industrial system established during the founding of the People's Republic of China has been operating well for so many years and has made such great contributions to the country in difficult times. It is only right to stick to it. How can we change it?
If the relevant factories do something wrong, they can be allowed to find the reasons themselves. They should introduce technology where they should, and innovate where they should innovate. There is no need to completely deny it and beat them to death with a stick!
Therefore, the Air Force leader who promotes changes in equipment procurement methods is under great pressure, and this has also led to delays in the Air Force's progress in other aspects, such as the procurement of more special aircraft types, such as the advanced integrated combat command system and Popularization of data link equipment.
Fortunately, this air force leader is strong enough and bluntly stated that the production capacity of the relevant production plants cannot meet the needs of the troops. If this is the case, why should the good production lines of other production plants be left alone?
Since it¡¯s not allowed to be used, that¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll use the foreign exchange to purchase foreign models from the head office, right?
You must know that the leadership of the Air Force is not just talking. As soon as he said these words, he signed an agreement with Russia on the introduction of the improved Su-30mkk, and expressed strong support for the Su-35 developed by Russia, which is known as the most powerful Su-27. interest and intend to continue to introduce it in the future.
Now all the manufacturers are silent. In order to popularize third-generation aircraft and quickly generate combat effectiveness, the Air Force is really risking its lives. It would rather make external purchases than compromise with relevant manufacturers.
Such an approach of preferring jade to pieces rather than making bricks whole has really frightened many manufacturers.
You must know that as long as the Air Force¡¯s procurement is done domestically, everyone can eat it no matter what. The difference is whether it¡¯s meat or soup. But if it¡¯s transferred overseas, there won¡¯t even be any scum.
It is clear at a glance which one is better and which one is worse. Therefore, the relevant production plants and a large number of old leaders can only compromise. It is impossible not to compromise. The Air Force said that it will be difficult to form air superiority on the southeast coast before 2015, so the headquarters and upper management can only give full support. air force.
Officially, under the strong promotion of this air force leader, China took off after more than 20 years of hard work. Finally, the daughter-in-law became a mother-in-law and could undertake the full set of production tasks for specific fighter models, instead of just doing it as before. , beat the drum.
Of course, even so, China Tengfei does not need to expand the scale of the production plant. After all, the mass production of fc-23 carrier-based aircraft will take some time. In addition, the penetration rate of China Tengfei's flexible clamps has reached more than 70%. The Xingzhou factory The two production lines can meet the production tasks of Project No. 10 with slight adjustments.
The reason for such large-scale construction work is mainly to undertake the mass production task of Project 20 in the near future.
You must know that Project No. 20 has entered the trial production stage of engineering prototypes at this time. For this reason, China Tengfei has done a lot of work in related supporting industries in recent years, such as providing the wd-76f high-thrust turbofan engine with greater thrust. , the maximum thrust of a single unit reaches 12.85 tons, and the thrust can reach 7.7 tons even without afterburner.
This value is not much different from other wd-70 series aero engines developed by China Tengfei, but the reason why it can be listed as a single model is mainly due to the use of new technologies that extend the afterburning thrust time, making the wd-76f large thrust vortex The duration of fan engine afterburning thrust is increased from less than 5 minutes for traditional aero engines to 15 minutes.
Of course, this level is still far behind compared to the 20-minute afterburner thrust of the wd-68 series medium-thrust aeroengine used by China Ascendas on the "True Dragon" series verification aircraft.
The problem is that the aero-engine used on the "True Dragon" series of demonstrator aircraft is a specially-made model, and the relevant materials and technologies are all made by the development unit in the laboratory, so it does not have the ability to be industrialized for mass production.
??The technology of the wd-76f high-thrust turbofan engine with continuous afterburner thrust is a mass-produced model that can be fully industrialized.
A privately customized model and a mass-produced model, the former may have more advantages in terms of luxury goods, but of course the latter is more significant in military supplies.
And this is only one aspect of the improvements related to the wd-76f high-thrust turbofan engine. Others include the fuel-saving system, integral molding of the turbine disk, a new generation of super turbine blade materials, and the mechanical distribution of dual-shaft drives.
It can be said that except that the thrust has not changed much, the entire wd-76f high-thrust turbofan engine is a brand-new aeroengine from the inside out.
As for the performance, it has completely crushed the Russian al-31 aero engine.
Because of this, before the modified aeroengine was finalized, it was positioned as the official aeroengine of Project 20 by the old commander. The results of the static test of Project 20 recently also showed that the wd-76f high-thrust turbofan engine In the afterburner state, it fully meets the requirements of Project 20's supersonic cruise.
Not only that, thanks to the excellent aerodynamic design of Project 20, computer simulations show that even at supersonic speeds, Project 20 still has excellent maneuverability.
In the static test, the roar of the wd-76f high-thrust turbofan engine was like the roar of a tiger and the roar of a dragon, which was very shocking. It is precisely because of this that the well-known DIY naming master is the source of all evils for all improper names in China Tengfei. , who is known as the person who knows the most about aerospace in the solar system, Comrade Zhuang Jianye couldn't help but take action again, giving the wd-76f high-thrust turbofan engine the most sophisticated name since its debut: "Tiger Roar"!
Of course, although the wd-76f high-thrust turbofan engine "Tiger Roar" has made breakthroughs in many technologies, the key thrust and vector nozzle technologies have not been applied.
This has also resulted in this type of engine being unable to sustain supersonic cruise for Project 20 and perform more adequate air maneuvers without afterburner, which has to be said to be a pity.
It¡¯s not that China Takeoff lacks such technology. In fact, as early as a year ago, China Takeoff had already tested the WD-68W with vector nozzles and the WD-68T with larger thrust on its own "True Dragon" demonstrator aircraft. This is an aero-engine demonstrator, but these two technologies are still in the laboratory research stage and are still some way away from industrial mass production.
Not only that, related matching issues, control issues and integration issues with Project 20 are all obstacles in the way of China's take-off, and there is no reference at all, so we can only explore slowly by ourselves. Because of this, in There is a slight delay in time, but this aircraft engine with a maximum thrust of 14.6 tons and code-named "Dragon Yin" has been launched and the project is still not far away from being unveiled
