Chapter 468: Let's compete

The turbofan six is ​​for the J-9, and it is also the most valued engine unit of the 6601 Institute. For them, the turbofan six must succeed and cost the country a lot of funds. How can this project fail?
Therefore, for this reason, they gave up Spey. Originally, the country intended to give Spey to their copy, but they didn’t have the time and energy, so they pushed Spey to the 4430 factory. They originally thought they could do something like this. The turbofan VI was developed, but the current situation is rather unoptimistic.
Turbofan VI is for the J-9, but now, what about the J-9?
The J-9 project has not been discontinued, but almost all have come to a standstill.
This is of course related to the study of 6611. The state has handed over the task of developing the J-9 to the 6611 Institute, and let them complete the project. The turbofan six is ​​the supporting engine of the J-9 plan, but now, 6611 What does the research institute do? They are surveying and mapping, imitating and producing a newer fighter. This fighter has a similar appearance to the F-9, but its performance indicators are very different. Especially, this fighter has been determined at the beginning of its development. Use Spey engine!
That’s right, it’s Spey. If the modified fighter uses Turbofan VI, then they can continue to do it without worry. But now, the opponent has chosen Spey and set two models for one launch, except for 6611. The new JF, even the new JF in the 6601 Institute, are determined to use Spey. In this case, the turbofan six will have no installation targets?
Domestic engine development is different from foreign ones.
Foreign countries first pre-research and develop the core aircraft, and then provide supporting facilities on the basis of the core aircraft. For example, adding a large external duct can be allocated to passenger aircraft, and a small duct can be allocated to fighter aircraft, etc. , In this way, a variety of models can appear.
However, it is different in China. The domestic project first decided to develop a fighter, and then determine its matching engine. This actually violates the law of fighter development, because the difficulty of engine development far exceeds that of fighter development. In this way, the fighter project is progressing smoothly, but the engine can't keep up with the progress. In this way, the entire project is constantly dragged down. This is the case with the Raptors in history.
If it were not for the emergency rescue by the third uncle, it would be unknown whether the Raptors could enter the military.
But now, the J-9 is about to die, what about the turbofan six? Of course these people are in a hurry, and some of them are starting to think of a solution.
The promoter of the entire new fighter is not the air force. Behind it is Qin Guan. Therefore, he needs to come to Qin Guan, the general manager of Qin Guan. He certainly does not know the performance of his turbofan VI, his engine, and Bisby. Much better, with turbofan six, it will definitely make the overall performance of the new JJ a leap!
Now, seeing Qin Guan always playing sloppy eyes, they couldn't help but be anxious, and asked the most direct question, our turbofan six, we need to provide the new fighter!
Seeing Qin Guan stunned for a while, the other party continued: "Mr. Qin, the thrust of the Spey engine is too small. It is only more than 90 kilonewtons. It can't meet the needs of the new fighter. Our turbofan six is ​​now It can provide more than 120 kilonews of power. It can give the new JJ a powerful power. Let me use it. We promise to complete the supporting tasks."
Qin Guan sighed in his heart, yes, if you want to have a 120kN engine directly, then why am I still holding Spey here.
However, if I only want to look at these few indicators and choose the turbofan six package, then I will be a sinner of history!
Qin Guan knew in his heart that it is not easy to research an engine by himself. At the same time, he has also learned historical materialism and used a dialectical point of view.
For example, if you compare Turbofan 6 and Turbofan 10, you can find that these two engines are both high-power and similar in thrust, both of which are 120 kN. The latter is an improved version, turbofan 6G, with afterburner thrust. It has reached 138 kN, which is even more terrible.
If these figures can be achieved, are the later J-10s still worried about their engines? Isn’t it enough to just go on the turbofan six? It doesn't matter if the push-to-weight ratio is lower, only if the strength is strong enough, first solve the problem and then talk about it!
The results of it?
From Turbofan 6 to Turbofan 6G, the data has been continuously improved all the way, but in the end, after passing the legendary test drive, I decided to dismount.
Then, a group of experts came out and was heartbroken. It was the fault of the comprador class. If you don’t buy Spey, if you continue to invest funds in the turbofan six, the turbofan six will definitely bear fruit. It was delayed for twenty years!
Just think about it in your head and you will know the problem.
As just said, the turbofan six is ​​so good, and the J-10 has been delayed for so many years? The turbofan six was discontinued, but the trained development team began to develop a new model, the turbofan ten. This project has also gone through ups and downs. It can be said that it has penetrated the youth of several generations of aero-engine people. And the blood, but the army would rather continue to import the third uncle from the country of Xiong than with the turbofan X, especially the single-engine J-10, that means they dare not use anything.
(Huaxiong didn’t mean to belittle anyone. Aeroengines are the crown of the industry. Among them, the development is quite difficult, there are many technical problems, and it is not easy to mature. Even the Eagle Country’s F100 series had so many problems in the initial stage. Needless to say, we, the progress of Han Guo's engines in recent years has been the result of the hard work of many aviation developers.)
And now, does Qin Guan dare to use this kind of aviation to provide the new fighter?
The answer is obvious.
Qin Guan’s mood was heavy. It was not that Qin Guan didn’t know the turbofan six model, but knew that its reliability was not up to his own requirements. In order to prevent Han’s military aircraft from making detours, Qin Guan also only To be able to take the road of Spey modification first, even if its thrust is insufficient, even if its high altitude and high speed are weak, in short, this engine is mature and reliable, which is the most important.
Now, since the other party is so sincere, of course Qin Guan can't chill their hearts.
"That's it." Qin Guan said: "I was indeed negligent. A competition mechanism should be established so that everyone can develop and progress together. Without competition, there is no high morale."
Hearing Qin Guan's words, the other party's face was overjoyed. So, does Turbofan Six still play?
"Our imitation Spey has passed the 150-hour long-term interview. What about our turbofan six? Should we also carry out this long-term test test?" Qin Guan said: "What about competing with the two engines? ?"
