After Li Haonan finished speaking, there was silence in the room.
It is true that it is too luxurious to use titanium alloy to make airplanes.
What's the difference between that and making it out of gold?
Behind me, Lou Xiao'e didn't know how to record it.
Zhang Guanyu raised his hand to touch his glasses. During this period, he followed Wu Zhe and others to study airplanes. Aren't airplanes made of aluminum alloy?
Wang Xushan and Wu Zhe immediately widened their eyes, and then shook their heads together, "Old Li, using titanium alloy is too expensive."
"Did you know? This titanium is more expensive than gold."
"According to what you said, how much titanium alloy does this cost?"
Li Haonan shrugged helplessly, "There is nothing we can do about it. If the speed is too fast, the surface temperature will be at least 300 degrees."
"As for other internal components, especially the engine, they must be at least a thousand degrees hotter."
"Under such circumstances, not to mention aluminum alloys, even ordinary steel will be affected."
"If high-temperature-resistant materials are not used, the parts in the aircraft cannot withstand it at all. You also know that after flying into the sky, there are certain things that must be considered, otherwise it will be a crime."
After the words fell, Wu Zhe and Wang Xushan stopped talking.
Because it's true.
Everyone was silent, and then all looked at Yang Xiaotao.
Hearing what Li Haonan said, Yang Xiaotao thought it was a problem at first. After all, high-temperature materials are not cheap.
Even aircraft engines are not all made of titanium alloy, only special parts are used.
Don’t even think about using titanium alloy for the entire aircraft.
Even if it is designed, it is estimated that the superiors will not agree to manufacture it after seeing it.
But after listening to it, I realized that this was not a problem at all.
Seeing everyone looking over, Yang Xiaotao straightened up, then knocked on the table with a serious expression, "First of all, the speed of the aircraft is a mandatory requirement. There is no way, because the missiles are getting faster and faster."
"If you are slow, just look at the results in Shanghai and you will know that there is no chance of success."
"Just don't make planes like that."
Everyone nodded silently after hearing this.
Instead of producing targets that are slow, why not go all out to produce better ones?
It's just that this high-temperature resistant material also...
Too expensive.
How can the country have so much money?
Just when the three of them thought that Yang Xiaotao would say no matter the cost, they heard Yang Xiaotao ask a question, "Does any of you know how high a temperature our stainless steel can withstand?"
There was a moment of silence in the conference room.
What?
Stainless steel?
What does it mean?
Wang Xushan said uncertainly, "About three to five hundred degrees."
"But there are some special stainless steels that can withstand temperatures of a thousand degrees."
After Wang Xushan finished speaking, he thought of something and asked in surprise, "No, Mr. Yang, you, you don't want to make it with stainless steel, do you?"
"This, this will affect the overall layout of the airframe, and stainless steel is too heavy. Our engine only has 8,000 thrusts. If it is too heavy, let alone reaching Mach 3, it will be difficult to break through the thermal barrier...
"
After Wang Xushan finished speaking, Wu Zhe also expressed his objection, "Mr. Yang, this stainless steel is indeed resistant to high temperatures, but its weight is not suitable for such high-speed aircraft."
Li Haonan also agreed with their opinions.
But Yang Xiaotao waved his hand, didn't he know if he could do it?
I really thought the MiG-25 was a fake.
If others can use it, why can’t I use it?
After the three of them finished speaking, they found that Yang Xiaotao was not moved at all, and the three of them felt a little helpless.
Why can’t the Lord in front of me listen to his opinions?
But they have no choice but to reserve their opinions.
"Since stainless steel is resistant to high temperatures, it means it can be used."
"As for motivation."
"If one engine doesn't work, then two engines will do."
Yang Xiaotao spoke again, and the three of them were stunned again.
Two engines?
this...
This has never been done before.
The MiG-21 that Shengjing is imitating now uses one engine, and the one being tested now is also the same engine. They have no experience with these two engines.
"Yes, just use two engines."
"My opinion is to place the two engines on both sides of the main shaft so that the power can be guaranteed."
"Of course, such a plane may be larger, but it should be fine..."
When Yang Xiaotao expressed his thoughts, people around him found it difficult to accept it.
Most of today's fighter jets are single-plane in order to maintain flexibility.
Only larger bombers will use two or more engines.
What Yang Xiaotao said now made them wonder, is this going to be a fighter jet or a bomber?
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the people around him fell silent for a while.
"Mr. Yang, have you already made the design drawings?"
Wu Zhe finally couldn't help it anymore and asked what was in his heart.
He felt that Yang Xiaotao must have his own design plan. Instead of squeezing out bit by bit here, he might as well open the skylight and speak out and ask for clarity.
The other two people also stared at Yang Xiaotao with burning eyes after hearing this.
All these things now made them feel as if Yang Xiaotao could come up with a complete set of design drawings.
Yang Xiaotao was stunned for a moment. Seeing that everyone looked serious, he quickly shook his head and said, "No!"
"If I had, I wouldn't have needed to look for you, I can do it all by myself!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, several people still looked at him suspiciously.
Zhang Guanyu on the side was even more certain that Mr. Yang must be studying aircraft in private.
The reason why I don't expose it is not to save face.
You must work hard yourself.
Looking at the expressions of the other people, Zhang Guanyu quickly said, "Mr. Yang, don't worry, we will definitely complete the task!"
Zhang Guanyu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said this. Not to mention Yang Xiaotao, even Wu Zhe and others were stunned.
But when Yang Xiaotao came back to his senses, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'm waiting for your good news!"
The meeting basically determined the general work arrangements. Yang Xiaotao did not stay in the R&D department for too long and walked to the office after the meeting.
After Yang Xiaotao left, Li Haonan, Wu Zhe and the others looked at Zhang Guanyu, wondering what he meant by what he just said.
"Guys, maybe your time in the machinery factory is a little short and you don't know Mr. Yang very well!"
Zhang Guanyu explained patiently, "Mr. Yang has a habit of always being democratic in everything he does!"
"democracy?"
Several people blinked, feeling that the honest man in front of them was starting to tell lies.
For a moment, I had some doubts as to whether my previous performance was just an act.
"Yes, we have worked together with Mr. Yang for too long! So we know Mr. Yang's style very well!"
"If he wants to do something, he will ask us to do it first, but in fact, Mr. Yang has made preparations in advance!"
"Mr. Yang never fights uncertainties. Usually, he has already done the research on the topics we are asked to study first. At least he has a direction!"
"Let us do it, and it will actually help us grow!"
"You think there are some things that Mr. Yang does arbitrarily, but in fact, as long as Mr. Yang does it arbitrarily, facts have proven that there is a problem!"
"You don't know that when we were designing the aircraft engine, we also made many suggestions..."
Following Zhang Guanyu's explanation, the three people's initial suspicion gradually became serious. Then when they thought of Yang Xiaotao's "record", this seriousness became normal.
When the three of them left the R&D office, Li Haonan and Wu Zhe walked together, both of them pondering Zhang Guanyu's words.
"Perhaps Mr. Yang is really democratic!"
Wu Zhe nodded slightly after hearing this.
"Perhaps he really has a direction?"
At this point, the two looked at each other and then laughed helplessly.
To put it bluntly, this special team is still dominated by Hongxing Machinery Factory, with Yang Xiaotao as the core.
After all, it's all about utilizing that engine.
People who design and build their own engines must know better than themselves.
So, just listen to others, that’s right!
After the two of them figured it out, they also found the direction. Whatever Yang Xiaotao asked, do it!
On the other side, Yang Xiaotao returned to the office and sat on a chair thinking about what had just happened.
It has to be said that designing aircraft and designing aircraft engines are completely different fields.
Yang Xiaotao felt that it was a bit difficult.
Every line is like a mountain. Although he has some understanding of it, it feels very difficult to actually do it.
There are some things that I know how to choose, but I can't give a reasonable reason.
Just like the twin vertical tails we talked about today, if he could understand the benefits of twin vertical tails and their effect on the aircraft, would he still have to use his brains and waste words to convince them?
If he could master aerodynamics and aerodynamics, would he still need to go to such trouble?
It's a pity that he is really not good at this!
What's more, mastering these aspects is just the beginning. Later, it involves the shape of the aircraft, center of gravity, and the angle of the aircraft's wings, etc., which all require scientific demonstration.
Even an inconspicuous angle problem may cause serious accidents after flying into the sky.
Yang Xiaotao rubbed his eyebrows with both hands, feeling a little uneasy.
The only thing you can rely on now is the system!
But if you want to fix system bugs, you must have your own designed drawings.
But now, with my half-hearted level, if I get involved, I will only achieve half the result with half the effort, and it may even be a disservice.
"So, as of now, all I can do is study!"
Yang Xiaotao suddenly laughed.
Reading, I haven’t read seriously for a long time.
In the early days, Yang Xiaotao could still get credits from books.
But as more and more credits are needed for upgrading, the 100 points given by reading are simply not enough.
Therefore, in order to obtain credits as quickly as possible, Yang Xiaotao embarked on an independent "design" path.
Make the design drawings of the machine, get a lot of credits, then upgrade it, and use the upgraded rewards to increase your strength.
Yang Xiaotao has always been doing this, so he rarely has time to read.
Of course, Yang Xiaotao could find many reasons why he was busy with this and that, but fundamentally, he still ranked studying at the back of his schedule.
So when there is no time, reading is forgotten!
Just like the artillery detection radar rewarded previously, those few books are also not read very much?
I feel a little sorry for the name of this system.
The system lets you study, but you use the system to do private work.
Somewhat putting the cart before the horse!
Yang Xiaotao suddenly laughed at himself, "The road has gone a bit astray!"
"Studying is to lay a solid foundation. If you don't have any foundation, you still have to design something!"
After saying that, Yang Xiaotao re-planned his future focus.
Reading will become an important part of the future.
Now, the first step is to learn aerodynamics.
At the very least, read all the relevant books!
With this thought in mind, Yang Xiaotao got up and walked out.
After Lou Xiao'e entered the office, she felt that Yang Xiaotao's face looked wrong.
Then I saw him sitting there alone, thinking hard, frowning for a while, smiling bitterly, and finally got up and walked out eagerly.
"Mr. Yang, where are you going?"
Lou Xiao'e asked a little boldly, and then quickly added, "Do you want me to come with you?"
Yang Xiaotao paused and then waved his hand, "No, I'll go to the Seventh Machinery Department!"
After saying that, the person had already walked out of the office.
