Chapter 383 (1/2)
Sure enough, just a few days after Wang Bin gave the order, the laboratory has designed a new generation of pulse detonation engine. According to the data, the thrust of their newly designed pulse detonation engine will reach about 18 tons. At the same time, this engine also has the ability of space form conversion, that is, as long as this engine is manufactured, And successfully passed the tests, then this engine can be used as the power of aerospace aircraft, which is absolutely epoch-making for Tiangong technology and the whole China.
Therefore, when the design drawings of the engine came out, Wang Bin immediately called Professor Sun and Professor Dai and other aerospace vehicle design departments and told them about it.
”Professor Dai! Professor Dai! As well as experts, we have made some achievements in the research and development of aerospace engine in the aerospace engine laboratory of Tiangong technology, and have designed the drawings of aerospace engine...” Then Wang Bin killed Professor Dai, Professor poke and sun Lao by the basic performance of the air space integrated engine designed by the rocket engine laboratory.
After introducing the performance of the engine, Wang Bin continued to ask, ”so I'll call you to discuss about starting the aerospace aircraft project.
Everyone must know the performance of the phoenix-1 aircraft that our Tiangong technology is now testing, so I want to ask if we can transform it into an aerospace aircraft on the basis of this aircraft. After all, this aircraft is sufficient in terms of structural strength, high temperature resistance of the aircraft skin and tightness of the aircraft. ”
After listening to Wang Bin's words, sun Lao, Professor Dai and others did not answer Wang Bin's words at the first time, but inferred in their mind the possibility of transforming phoenix-1 aircraft into an aerospace aircraft. At the same time, they also discussed with each other from time to time.
It was not until two hours later that Professor Sun stood up and said, ”Mr. Wang! According to my inference, the phoenix-1 aircraft is indeed feasible to be transformed into an aerospace aircraft. After all, according to the original design drawing of the aircraft, that is, the original data on the drawing provided by Mr. Wang, the design purpose of the aircraft itself is designed for aerospace transportation.
Our phoenix-1 aircraft is also optimized and improved on the original drawing. According to the skin, tightness and body strength of the aircraft, the basic platform of this aircraft can definitely be transformed into space. As long as the engine of the aircraft is replaced with an integrated air-space engine, it can fly in space.
Of course, it is not simple to transform this aircraft into a space plane. First of all, many unused equipment in the aircraft must be removed. At the same time, the cargo warehouse of the aircraft must also be transformed to make it more airtight.
In addition, for the transformation of aerospace, we must also install life support systems and oxygen circulation systems for aircraft. Fortunately, these equipment are very mature in domestic official development and do not need to be re developed by ourselves.
However, even so, we also need to face many difficulties to transform the phoenix-1 space.
In addition, according to my speculation, after the aerospace transformation, the low altitude flight distance of this aircraft will be greatly reduced to less than 300 km. After all, after the aerospace transformation, most of the space inside the aircraft will be used to fill rocket fuel rather than aviation fuel.
In addition, in order to load more rocket fuel in a limited space, we have to reduce the cargo warehouse of the aircraft, or even ban the cargo warehouse directly, so that the aircraft can load more rocket fuel.
At the same time, after the transformation, the thrust generated by only two engines is not enough. After all, according to my speculation, after the transformation, the weight of the aircraft will be greatly increased, and the full load weight will at least be more than twice that now, that is to say, the maximum weight of the aircraft in Gaizhou will reach about 130-150 tons.
