Chapter 269: Spare Engine Quarrel

Spey actually has many shortcomings. Its afterburner thrust is less than 10 tons, which is far from what it needs. It is best to achieve 12 tons afterburner thrust. It is the most suitable. It has a large windward area and high altitude performance. decline.
However, Spey is currently the most mature engine available!
The word maturity is very important. Look at the turbofan ten in later generations. After so many years of research, the Air Force still likes the imported third uncle because it is immature.
Now, there is no time to develop a new engine independently, nor can I wait for the long period of engine development, and there is a suitable one now, why not?
The introduction of the Spey Engine project started a few years ago.
In the past few years, the Spey Engine project has gone through many twists and turns. The 6601 Research Institute present has the most say, because Spey Engine is located in an engine factory under them.
"The Spey engine is very difficult. We still have a lot of technical problems that we haven't fully grasped. Especially, Niu Guoren has opened his mouth and tried to continue to increase prices, which has caused us great difficulties." Mr. Gu said.
Of course, Qin Guan from later generations knows about Spey’s twists and turns, as well as the various problems and nasty things in it. Now that he is here, he must solve these problems!
"First of all, there is a misunderstanding in the development of our domestic military aircraft." Qin Guan said: "It is only when there is an aircraft that the matching engine will be developed for it. In this way, if the aircraft is dismantled, the matching engine project will be aborted. I It is suggested that our aircraft engine factory should be separated from the aircraft development factory and become an independent factory. There is no need to involve each other, which is more conducive to engine development."
When Qin Guan said this, Mr. Gu's face went dark.
Back then, when Spey was introduced, there were constant quarrels because the large domestic engine development unit was the 6606 Research Institute of the Academy of Aeronautics. This research institute was a subordinate unit of the 6601 Research Institute. Fan six.
Turbofan VI has been in operation for so many years, and it is as difficult to give birth as Jianba, but it has not yet succeeded.
If Spey’s introduction is brought in again, the 6606 Research Institute will not have such a great ability at all. It is easy to have more children to fight, and in the end nothing will be done.
After that, the introduction and imitation of Spey was placed in the Hongqi 4430 factory in the old province for imitation.
What is the end of this? Of course it is not taken seriously by the superiors.
After all, under the current system, an engine must have a supporting aircraft. The aircraft factory has a subsidiary engine factory, which benefits too much!
For example, the J-8 currently developed by ourselves can ask the 6606 Research Institute to fully develop the turbojet-13 engine improved from the turbojet-7, and it is possible to apply for too much scientific research funding to the superior.
As for the localization of Spey, it can be released temporarily. Anyway, after the introduction of Spey, it was originally to be assigned to the JH VII, but the navy and the air force are constantly arguing about this project. Therefore, the development of the aircraft is still incomplete, and the progress of the matching engine is no one. Concerned.
If the engine and the whole machine are turned on separately, wouldn't it be necessary to vigorously support the Hongqi factory? This can't work! I am the boss!
This Qin Guan is so cruel, he actually grabbed meat from his mouth?
"No, this will cause miscommunication and hinder the development of the aircraft." President Gu began to express his opposition clearly. At the same time, this also means that the quarrel is about to start. Such a scene, in a meeting of the aviation department, Seen often.
"When we look at foreign countries, we always propose various technical indicators. The engine is developed first, and the pre-research of the engine must be in front of the aircraft, because the engine development cycle is longer than that of the aircraft." Qin Guan continued to explain: "Just take the present. In order to get usable engines immediately, we can only start with the localization of Spey, but for our future progress, we also need to pre-research a new generation of engines, which is not determined by any aircraft project. It is an engine project. Once the engine is available, the Aircraft Design Institute can choose the engine it needs to develop its own fighter."
The independent development of the engine and the aircraft has great benefits and can obviously overcome the existing drawbacks. Now, Mr. Gu, hearing Qin Guan’s words, still disagree: "In short, I disagree. The Spey engine is the main force. The power of the fighter plane is even more impossible. Its thrust is not large enough."
If the Red Flag factory imitating Spey becomes independent, it will be able to obtain investment independently. According to the operation of Qin Guan, it may draw a large sum of money. In this case, what about the turbofan VI project in the engine factory of its own? do?
Wait, this Qin Guan decided not to mention the turbofan six, but the localization of one by one Spey. Isn't it about dismounting the turbofan six? Looking at the position he is sitting in, could it be that he has already reported with his superiors?
No, absolutely not!
Mr. Gu has already decided that he must do his own efforts to make this matter a mess. If Spey becomes the main driving force, then Turbofan VI will stop cooking completely.
"In fact, the Spey engine is only a second-generation engine, but it is a turbofan engine that we can have immediately." Qin Guan said: "General Gu, you disagree, you have your own considerations, but we are from the country Considering the interests of China, how to quickly improve our technology so that we have advanced third-generation aircraft is the first priority."
"At the same time, although the Spey engine is the foundation of the second-generation aircraft, it can still continue to develop on its basis. As far as I know, there are new projects abroad that intend to push the afterburner of the Spey engine. The power is increased to more than 110 kN, so that it can be used by us temporarily, until our new turbofan engine project matures."
Here, Qin Guan mentioned the new turbofan.
Yes, the Spey engine is only for emergency. After all, it is self-developed in China. I don’t know about the year of the monkey. At the same time, the establishment of the new turbofan cannot be relaxed. After all, it is the limit to increase Spey to 110 kN. After all, it is the foundation of the second-generation engine.
"I think the new turbofan engine can be handed over to the Turbofan VI team to do it." Qin Guan said.
When these words were spoken, Mr. Gu immediately shut up with interest.
If you want to coordinate well, you must have a distribution of benefits. Even if Qin Guan is dissatisfied with the turbofan 6, the turbofan six development team is still the most experienced in China. After the turbofan six project was discontinued, The development of Turbofan X began, and after years of hardship, it finally reached a usable level.
This scientific research team cannot be dispersed.
