Chapter 318 Discussion
At the same time, Wang Bin immediately discussed with Professor Ku when he came back. After all, the thrust of the new engine must be at least 18 tons, and it is a turbofan engine of more than four generations. Professor Ku and others must also think about how to design it.
At the same time, in terms of turbojet engines, Wang Bin and his tg-002 model were finally successful. However, Wang Bin was a little depressed to find that this engine did not seem to have any major purpose except for being installed on high-speed high-altitude fighter jets like No. 7 and No. 8. After all, aircraft like No. 11 use turbofan engines with a small bypass ratio, and they cannot use turbojet engines at all.
Although turbojet engines can provide aircraft with greater aircraft altitude and flight speed, for aircraft like No. 11, their own fuselage cannot withstand the speed of more than 30,000 meters in height of Mach. Even aircraft such as No. 7 and No. 8, even after modification, they are only available and cannot perform the performance of this engine.
Not to mention, the thrust of the tg-002 engine has stronger thrust and effective flight altitude and speed than the tg-001 turbojet engine. Therefore, unless a high-altitude high-speed aircraft is redesigned, otherwise, the tg-002 turbojet engine will have no good uses.
Thinking of this, Wang Bin immediately told Professor Ka what he was thinking, and Professor Ka had no good idea for a while.
So, Wang Bin and others handed over Professor Dai, Professor Zhang and others and asked about their opinions. However, obviously, like Wang Bin and Professor Kao, they had no good solutions. After all, there are only a few domestic aircraft now, and aircraft that can fly high-altitude and high-speed at high speed are only old models. Therefore, if you want to fully utilize the performance of the tg-002 turbojet engine developed by their Tiangong Technology Institute, you can only develop a more advanced high-altitude high-speed aircraft.
"Professor Dai! Is there really no other way? You know, it is very difficult to develop a high-altitude high-speed aircraft, and the requirements for materials are more demanding than the materials used by the main fighter jets in our country today. So is it really feasible to develop a new high-altitude high-speed aircraft?" Wang Bin asked in confusion.
"Mr. Wang! Actually, I have already had the idea of developing a new high-altitude high-speed aircraft. Since the development of our Tiangong Technology's TG-001 turbojet engine, I have had this idea. After all, our country's aircraft, including No. 7 and 8 and the current main fighter, cannot play the full performance of our two turbojet engines.
The most important thing is, Mr. Wang, I remember you said that our Tiangong Technology’s ultimate goal in terms of rapid development is to develop an aerospace vehicle that can perform free flights in the space.
If we really want to develop similar aircraft, then research on high-altitude high-speed aircraft will definitely not be avoided. So I think we will also start developing aircraft in this area, laying the foundation for our Tiangong Technology to develop aerospace vehicles in the future."
After listening to Professor Dai's words, Wang Bin did not speak immediately. As Professor Dai said, the ultimate goal of Tiangong Technology in aviation is indeed to develop a space-wide aerospace aircraft. If it wants to develop a space-wide aerospace aircraft, it is impossible to avoid the research and development of high-altitude high-speed aircraft. In terms of the research and development of turbojet engines, the research and development of this engine cannot be terminated because it is not very useful now.
At the same time, in addition to the research and development of turbojet engines, there is also the research and development of pulse engines. After all, even turbojet engines will stop working due to insufficient oxygen inhalation after reaching a certain level. At this time, pulse engines or ramjet engines are needed to provide power.
Of course, if the aircraft has already flown to the edge of the atmosphere, neither the ramjet nor the pulse engine can work. At this time, only rocket engines, such as rocket engines, can work.
So as Professor Dai said, Tiangong Technology must carry out the research and development of high-altitude and high-speed aircraft.
So Wang Bin nodded and then asked him: "Professor Dai! Although we, Tiangong Technology, must develop aircraft for high-altitude and high-speed aircraft, even if it is just a verification aircraft.
But you see, what type of high-altitude high-speed aircraft should we develop? Should we develop high-altitude high-speed fighter jets like No. 7 and No. 8, or should we develop high-altitude high-speed reconnaissance aircraft like other countries, or simply develop larger high-altitude high-speed bombers, passenger aircraft or transport aircraft?"
When they heard Wang Bin's inquiry, both Professor Ka and Professor Dai fell into deep thought, because neither Professor Ka or Professor Dai had actually considered this issue seriously. However, now that they had no choice but to ask this question, they naturally had to think about it.
After coming over for a while, Professor Dai raised his head and said to Wang Bin: "Mr. Wang! I think if we continue to develop high-altitude high-speed fighter jets and reconnaissance aircraft, it is actually not very meaningful for our company and China now. So I think I should develop heavy aircraft in high-altitude high-speed. It is best that the tonnage of the aircraft can exceed more than 100 tons, and this aircraft must also have very strong carrying capacity, whether it is cargo, bombs, or manned.
After all, the current clear development of this aircraft is now very clear, that is, to lay a solid foundation for the future development of aerospace planes. However, what is the purpose of our development of aerospace planes? It is to transport personnel and various cargo from the ground to space and reduce costs on a large scale.
So since this aircraft is to lay the foundation for future aerospace aircraft research and development, there is only one choice for us, that is, to develop large aircraft with high-altitude and high-speed flight capabilities."
Thrust Professor Dai said, Wang Bin nodded. After all, Professor Dai had already said it very clearly. There is only one option available for Tiangong Technology to choose. However, Wang Bin immediately thought that if it is really possible to develop a large aircraft with high-altitude and high-speed flight capabilities, it is not a bad thing. What's more, who said that large aircraft have no combat and reconnaissance capabilities. Carrying air-to-air missiles for high-altitude high-speed combat is also considered a large aircraft with high-altitude high-speed flight, and can also engage in air combat.
