Sure enough, just a few days after Wang Bin issued the order, the laboratory had designed a new generation of pulsed detonation engines. According to the data, the thrust of the newly designed pulsed detonation engine will reach about 18 tons. At the same time, this engine also has the ability to convert aerospace forms. That is to say, as long as this engine is manufactured and successfully passed various tests, this engine can be used as the power of aerospace plane. This is definitely very epoch-making for Tiangong Technology and the entire China.

So, when the design drawings of this engine came out, Wang Bin immediately called Professor Sun and Professor Dai and other aerospace aircraft design departments and told them about this.

"Professor Dai! Professor Dai! And all the experts, our Tiangong Technology Aerospace Engine Laboratory has achieved certain results in the research and development of aerospace engines, and the drawings of the aerospace engine have been designed..." Then Wang Bin killed Professor Dai, Professor Ku and Mr. Sun and others with the basic performance of the aerospace integrated engine designed in the Rocket Engine Laboratory.

After introducing the performance of the engine, Wang Bin continued to ask: "So, I'll call everyone to discuss the matter about starting the aerospace plane project.

I believe everyone knows that 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 plane based on this aircraft. After all, this aircraft is sufficient in terms of body structure strength, skin and high temperature resistance of the aircraft and sealing of the aircraft."

After hearing Wang Bin's words, Mr. Sun, Professor Dai and others did not answer Wang Bin's words at the first time, but instead inferred in their minds the possibility of transforming the Phoenix-1 aircraft into an aerospace plane. 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 plane. After all, according to the most original design drawings of this aircraft, which is the original data on the drawings you provided by Mr. Wang, the design purpose of this aircraft itself is designed for aerospace transportation.

Our Phoenix-1 aircraft is also optimized and improved on the original drawings. According to the aircraft's skin, sealing and body strength, the basic platform of this aircraft can definitely be transformed in aerospace. As long as the aircraft's engine is replaced with an air-to-space integrated engine, it can fly in aerospace.

Of course, it is not a simple matter to transform this aircraft into a space aircraft. First of all, many unused equipment in the aircraft must be removed. At the same time, the aircraft's cargo warehouses, etc. must also be transformed to make it stronger in terms of sealing.

In addition, for the transformation of aerospace, a life-sustaining system and an oxygen circulation system must be installed for the aircraft. Fortunately, these equipment are officially developed in China and do not need to be redeveloped by ourselves.

However, even so, we have to face many difficulties in order to transform the Phoenix-1 type aerospace transformation.

Also, according to my speculation, after aerospace transformation, the low-altitude flight distance of this aircraft will be greatly reduced, and will be reduced to less than 300 kilometers. After all, after aerospace transformation, most of the space inside the aircraft will be used to load rocket fuel instead of aviation fuel.

In addition, in order to install more rocket fuel in a limited space, we have to reduce the cargo warehouse of the aircraft and even directly ban the cargo warehouse so that the aircraft can install 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 be at least more than twice that of now. In other words, the maximum weight of the Gaizhou aircraft will reach about 13 to 150 tons.

In short, it is not easy to transform the Phoenix-1 aircraft into aerospace, and its technical difficulty is quite high."

After Mr. Sun finished speaking, Professor Dai immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Wang! My inference is like Mr. Sun. Phoenix-1 type. If you want to transform it into an aerospace plane, it is indeed very likely. Of course, the specific one still needs to wait for the supercomputing results of our company to determine it, so I won't say much about this.

According to my speculation, Phoenix-1 aircraft is indeed a good idea to undergo aerospace transformation, and after the transformation..."

After Professor Dai finished speaking, Professor Kao stood up and expressed his opinion.

In the end, everyone reached a consensus that the Phoenix-1 aircraft could be transformed into aerospace.

However, during the discussion, they also stated the shortcomings of the aircraft after they inferred.

First of all, it is naturally because the aircraft has limited body size, so after the transformation, although it has the ability to fly in the air and incorporate it into the orbit, the maximum height it can reach is about 200 kilometers of orbit. Once it exceeds this altitude, the fuel carried inside will not be enough to send the aircraft back to the ground.

Of course, you can also choose to use a rocket directly to send the fuel needed by the plane to fly higher in space. It is not impossible even if it flies to the moon, but it is not possible for the time being.

Secondly, in terms of carrying capacity, the tracks below 150 kilometers are calculated to be about three to five tons, while the carrying capacity is only about a few hundred kilograms to three tons between more than 150 kilometers and 200 kilometers.

In addition, based on discussion, it is determined that the most important function of the modified aircraft is to carry personnel, so it is naturally very important in terms of carrying personnel.

However, the more members of the aircraft, the higher the requirements for maintaining the life of the aircraft, the water, hydrogen and oxygen cruise system, and the size of the equipment is larger, so naturally, there are no large numbers of people that can be carried each time, and the maximum number of people can only be maintained below ten people.

After the meeting ended and the matter of aerospace transformation of the Phoenix-1 aircraft was determined, Wang Bin and others also decided to set up a new department, namely the aerospace aircraft design department. The head of this department is temporarily responsible for Professor Ku, while Mr. Sun and Professor Dai are the secondary leaders.

At the same time, this department will also draw personnel from several other aerospace-related departments.
