Chapter 858 Successful Test Drive (10000 Monthly Ticket Plus More)
"Everyone is evacuated." Professor Zhao issued an order outside. After fixing the engine, all the staff immediately evacuated.
No one will be reserved in the trial workshop.
Because it is a new engine, a new design, and many parts have not been tested for performance, so most people still have to stay away from a safe distance, because no one knows if it will explode directly, of course. is extremely unlikely.
But for safety reasons, during the test drive, everyone was in the safe house next to it.
The overall design structure, Zhao Lao has also seen, it knows there is no problem, so the explosion is not expected to explode.
But how long it can last without problems is really uncertain.
A place like this professional engine test drive can be dealt with even if it really explodes. These places have been professionally designed, and no one knows if such a thing will happen to the new engine, including Taihang. The designed engine and the new engine test run are the same process.
"Ignition!" Following Mr. Zhao's order, Jiang Yanhai didn't grab the button for the first test drive. It wasn't necessary. He just cared about the result, not the process.
When Mr. Zhao pressed the button, the entire engine immediately roared, and then a huge flame instantly spewed out of its tail, and everyone's emotions instantly became tense.
"The test car ignition was successful! The current state is running smoothly."
"The power output is stable! The structural strength data of the body is stable!"
"The airframe is in a stable state! The fuel output is stable!"
"No structural hidden dangers have been found so far!"
"The data of each sensor is normal!"
Professor Zhao did not speak, but quickly walked to the side of the electronic screen where all the data could be viewed.
A minute later, Professor Zhao stood up excitedly: "I announce! The test drive was successful!"
"Wow!" All the operators couldn't help cheering loudly, followed by warm applause!
Although they said they didn't make any achievements, they just produced it, but when they saw a new engine test successfully, they were also very excited.
Because no matter whether it can be successful or not, as long as we continue to research, as long as we continue to experiment, then it will have new results sooner or later! Didn't countless researchers make these results little by little in this process? !
Doing scientific research is not doing arithmetic problems, you can directly follow the steps to solve them to get the answer.
Countless scientific research is to find the unknown in the known, the impossible in the possible, and a little bit to explore the direction that human beings have not yet discovered.
"Xiao Jiang! It worked!" Seeing that Jiang Yanhai didn't seem too excited, Professor Zhao came over and repeated it.
"I know that we are short on time and the task is heavy. We directly conduct a long-term test drive, and at the same time conduct data tests on related aspects such as maximum thrust. If there is no problem, let them start producing the second or even the third one."
"We will have a life test run, 150-hour long-term test run, destruction test run and other test work to be done in the future. One engine is definitely not enough." Jiang Yanhai said very simply.
Isn't it a question of money anyway? Money is not a problem now. With that material, it is normal for an engine to smash tens of billions of dollars. As far as Jiang Yanhai's current progress is... Is this called smashing?
No, it doesn't even cost money! You must know that the engine mentioned above cost tens of billions, which is purely spent in the research process.
As for the stereotype manufacturing itself, this is not considered a research expense.
Professor Zhao hesitated for a while, but he nodded directly, "Since you are confident, of course we have no problem, we can start now, let's test its maximum thrust first."
"Everyone pay attention, the maximum thrust test will start next, and the fuel output will be adjusted to the maximum after a countdown of 10 seconds. Everyone pay attention to the data, and report any abnormality immediately!"
"Yes!"
"10, 9, 8..." Professor Zhao continued to count down, and at the same time, the buttons to control the fuel output of the engine were also increasing.
The fuel output is not unlimited, it has a limit, and this limit, after installing it on the fighter, is the position where you push the throttle valve to the maximum!
It's the same as if you press the accelerator all the way in the car.
As the fuel output power continues to increase, it can be seen from the incoming picture from the video that the flame at the rear of the engine gradually begins to elongate, and then the color becomes even hotter!
"Fuel output to maximize, report the situation!"
"Smooth power output!"
"The body structure is stable!"
"The body is running smoothly!"
"All sensor data is normal!"
"Report thrust data!" Professor Zhao's tone trembled.
"Report! The current thrust data is 177 kN!" The tone of the inspector who detected the maximum thrust data was also trembling.
"Great!" Professor Zhao couldn't help but wave his right hand! 177 kN! The conversion is equivalent to more than 18 tons of thrust!
This thrust is amazing! You have to know that it is small in size! Its volume is a little more than one-third smaller than that of the latest WS15A engine currently used on the J20!
The weight is probably less than three-quarters of the WS15A engine, its weight is only a little over 1 ton, and it can almost be said that its weight is only 1 ton! The thrust-to-weight ratio reached a terrifying 18! Speaking of this number, it is estimated that it will go against the sky!
"Test its intermediate thrust!" Professor Zhao resisted his excitement and said quickly.
The so-called intermediate thrust is the thrust of the engine running smoothly, and the maximum thrust just now, that is, the afterburner thrust, is the thrust with the largest fuel output from the engine.
The intermediate thrust data affects the cruising ability of the fighter.
Here immediately began to adjust the fuel output power. When the fuel output was adjusted to a stable state, the intermediate thrust also came out.
"Report! Its intermediate thrust is 152 kN!" The operator over there gave a number that made everyone cheer.
152 kN is 15.5 tons of thrust, and if it is double-engine, it is a full 31 tons of thrust!
According to the calculation of J20, it has an empty weight of 17 tons and an air combat weight of 25 tons. According to the calculation of 25 tons, this data is enough for it to conduct supersonic cruise without slowing down, not to mention that its maximum thrust reaches 18 tons.
Also, its size! volume! The reduction of its size means that the J20 can have more space to increase the design of the magazine and other aspects.
"However, this data does not seem to have reached our predetermined data." An operator couldn't help but reminded.
