Inside the aircraft engine wind tunnel testing laboratory at Xinghai Space Base.
Wang Chen, Sun Tzu Long, Tang Peng and many other scientists and engineers are looking at the aerospace engines being tested in the wind tunnel.
This aircraft engine is a small aviation turbojet engine independently developed by Xinghai Aerospace.
It is very small in size, only one meter long and less than fifty centimeters in diameter. It can be said to be very compact, and there is no comparison at all with the engines of those fighter jets and passenger planes.
The size is small and the power is also very small, and it cannot be compared with the engines of those large passenger planes and fighter jets.
In terms of the fuel used, normal aviation engines generally use aviation kerosene, which has many advantages such as high combustion value, stable combustion, and low carbon deposits.
The small jet turbofan engine in front of us is just like a car. It can directly burn gasoline. It is best to burn bioenergy oil, because bioenergy oil has fewer impurities, produces less carbon deposits, and can be used for a longer period of time.
life.
"Boom~"
In the wind tunnel laboratory, a small engine sprayed orange-red flames, and relevant data was continuously transmitted to the computer.
"Yes, yes, it is really rare for such a small engine to have a combustion temperature of around 1,000 degrees Celsius."
Just by looking at the majesty of the spray, Tang Peng can know the power and performance of this engine.
Generally speaking, you can roughly know the condition of the engine based on the color of the jet.
For example, the combustion temperature of an engine with relatively good performance can exceed 2,500 degrees Celsius, and it spits out multiple tail flames of blue flame, which has a strong sense of technology.
Secondly, the combustion temperature is 2000 degrees Celsius, and the tail flame emitted is sky blue, which is also full of technological color.
As for the engine in front of us that spits out orange-red tail flames, it is obviously an ordinary engine with a combustion temperature of about 1000 degrees Celsius.
"Average, average. Now I'm just practicing my skills. The orange-red tail flames it spits out still seem to be of average quality. If it can spit out pure blue flames, it will be full of science fiction color and sense of technology."
Wang Chen on the side looked very dissatisfied.
As an aspiring young man in the new era, he will naturally not be satisfied with the orange-red tail flames in front of him. What he wants to do is to do his best and make blue tail flames, which will look really technological.
"You are already amazing. In such a short period of time, you have been able to produce such a small engine. This is very rare."
"You can take your time and do it step by step. I believe you will be able to come up with a more powerful engine soon."
Tang Peng looked at Wang Chen who was dissatisfied and quickly encouraged him.
Tang Peng, who is older, has experienced a lot. He knows very well that Wang Chen, Sun Zilong and others are real geniuses, geniuses in the field of aeronautics and astronautics. It has only been more than 2 months, and they have actually come up with something.
A self-developed small engine was launched.
And just by looking at the tail flames, you can tell that it is a pretty good engine.
"The thrust is very good. It has 1.5 tons of thrust. Coupled with the anti-gravity engine, this kind of thrust is definitely enough for a small private anti-gravity aircraft."
"This fuel consumption is almost the same as that of a car, which is very rare."
Tang Peng looked at the many data displayed on the monitor, the most important of which was thrust. Even though the engine was small, the thrust could reach 1.5 tons, which was already about one-tenth of the thrust of a fighter jet engine.
"It's okay~"
"The main thing is that we have an anti-gravity engine combined with it. Otherwise, with this little thrust, whether it can fly into the sky is a question, let alone expect it to be able to fly at hypersonic speeds."
Sun Zilong looked at the data and seemed dissatisfied.
The technology of aerospace engines has long been obsolete, with a history of more than 100 years, but there are only a handful of companies that can build powerful aeroengines, and the technical content is very high.
The small engine in front of me was also developed for the development of private anti-gravity aircraft by Xinghai Technology.
At present, battery technology is not up to par. There is no way to rely entirely on anti-gravity power to drive a small private anti-gravity aircraft. Auxiliary power must be added.
If all are driven by anti-gravity engines, a very powerful battery will be needed to carry enough electrical energy. Using auxiliary power can greatly save electrical energy, allowing only the anti-gravity engines to provide anti-gravity without providing flight power.
In this case, the power consumption can be relatively small.
The function of this small jet engine in front of you is to provide auxiliary power to propel the private anti-gravity aircraft to fly in the sky.
In fact, after all, this is just a way to make a transition.
After Liu Yuan develops more powerful battery technology, he can completely abandon this auxiliary power system and directly use anti-gravity engines to drive everything.
That would be simpler, safer, and faster.
"Judging from the current test data, using this jet engine combined with the small anti-gravity engine we have developed, our private anti-gravity aircraft can reach a flight speed of Mach 5. This speed is enough.
"
Tang Peng ordered people to input the relevant data into the computer. The computer soon began to simulate flight and test, and the relevant data came out immediately.
"Although the speed of Mach 5 is not comparable to that of air and space fighters, it is not bad. It is enough for ordinary civilians. At this speed, you can fly from here to the imperial capital in half an hour."
At this time, Liu Yuan's voice sounded around him, and Liu Yuan looked at the data simulated by the computer and nodded with satisfaction.
"Boss, why are you here?"
When everyone heard the sound, they quickly looked at Liu Yuan.
"Haha, let me see how the research on private anti-gravity aircraft is going. The company is in trouble right now, so I'm just waiting for your help to earn some money back."
Liu Yuan said jokingly.
"Boss, the large-scale anti-gravity aircraft may not be available for a while. It is estimated that it will not be until the end of the year."
"But we will be able to launch this private anti-gravity aircraft very soon."
"With this jet engine combined with our anti-gravity engine, there is no problem in building a small private anti-gravity aircraft."
“We can harvest a wave of IQ tax from the rich first.”
When Tang Peng heard this, he immediately smiled and said.
"Haha~"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.
This is the strategy formulated by Xinghai Aerospace.
Because in a short period of time, the production capacity is limited and the output is not high, so in the market, we must first take the high-end route.
On the one hand, it is because only Xinghai Technology in the world has the strength to produce small private anti-gravity aircraft, and anti-gravity technology represents the most advanced technology, which is full of science fiction.
Naturally, it should be sold more expensively so that it can be worthy of its status and status.
Another aspect is for brand and image.
If you want to take the mid-to-high-end route and operate in the mid-to-high-end market, then tell everyone from the beginning that my products are the best, have the highest technological content, are also the most expensive, and will only be sold to the most powerful ones.
people.
There is no doubt that small private anti-gravity aircraft will do this.
Because today's private jets themselves are very expensive, private anti-gravity aircraft are the benchmark for private jets, and they have better performance and are more convenient than private jets.
You still need to park your private jet at the airport, which requires a lot of money to maintain every year, and it also needs professional flight attendants to drive and fly it.
Therefore, those who own private jets are the real big guys and the real rich people. For ordinary rich people, you simply cannot afford to fly a private jet. Even if you can afford it, you still can’t afford it.
But the small private anti-gravity aircraft is different. It does not require a special airport and can be parked in a garage like a car. It can also take off and land vertically when taking off.
There is no need for a professional pilot to drive. You can drive by yourself, just like driving a car. One is driving on the ground and the other is flying in the sky. This alone can instantly kill the current private jets and make it the most desired by the rich.
Get toys.
Who doesn’t want to fly freely in the sky?
Who doesn’t long for the convenience of traveling anytime and anywhere?
While others are still stuck in traffic on the ground, you can leisurely enjoy the beautiful scenery of the earth in the sky.
While others are still worrying about air tickets, you are already flying around the world in your private anti-gravity aircraft.
How much does such a personal anti-gravity aircraft cost?
It has to cost at least eight figures. Even if it sells for nine figures, there will definitely be someone who is not short of money to buy it.
So there is nothing wrong with Tang Peng's statement that this small private anti-gravity aircraft can first harvest a wave of IQ taxes from the wealthy.
It is more expensive now, and when the production gradually increases in the future, some relatively cheap models will be slowly introduced, until finally a personal anti-gravity aircraft with a price similar to that of a car will be introduced, and everyone can afford it.
.
Everyone will think that spending hundreds of thousands to buy Xinghai Technology's personal anti-gravity aircraft will be very cheap, because at the beginning, this thing sold for nine figures, which was simply not affordable for ordinary people.
Just like when Tesla first came out, it sold millions of dollars. Because it was a pure electric car, it was copied by wealthy people. They thought that driving an electric car was synonymous with fashion and environmental protection. Later, when the price continued to drop, you
You will think this car is very nice and feels like a luxury car.
PS: I’m a little out of sorts, and there’s another chapter that will be late~
