Qin Tao doesn't know much about other things, but when it comes to building warships, no one knows it better than him. Now, the technology he is talking about is definitely superb.
There are very few warships with four-sided phased array radars in service around the world. The American Aegis warship is very powerful, but it only has a four-sided passive phased array radar. The domestic Aegis warship has a four-sided active phased array radar, which is already very good.
Who would have thought that it would be possible to stack a large number of phased array antennas? Four large shields plus four small shields, with a special meter-wave shield on the outside? When these radar antennas are put together, not only cannot they interfere with each other, but they must also cooperate with each other.
What level does it take to achieve this?
Everyone was very surprised.
"Putting so many phased array radars together will definitely be expensive." Someone said.
When building warships, one must consider price. If the cost of such a 10,000-ton warship is four or five times that of the existing 052c, it is not worth it. It would be better to build a few more 052cs.
"Everyone, the price is temporary. As we gradually master the production technology of t/R components, the price will definitely continue to drop. You can have confidence by looking at the price of our current phased array radar compared with the original price.
Now, we can’t do anything else. We can still do it by discounting those high-tech things at a bargain price.”
Whether it is a phased array radar or a shield machine, as long as we master the technology, the price will fall rapidly. Of course, this also depends on the situation. It is cheaper for personal use and more expensive for selling to foreigners. This is reasonable and reasonable.
"Yes, it may be possible in the future. It seems that if we want to build a new generation of 10,000-ton large drives, this technology is necessary." A leader nodded.
"Of course, you don't have a look at what the next-generation destroyer developed by the United States will look like. A comprehensive radio frequency mast is a must. We don't need any wave-piercing structure, but we still have to have it." Qin Tao said.
: "The integrated power system of the whole ship should also mature. Then we will see if our propulsion system works. If it works, we will add integrated electric propulsion, which will save more power."
Later 055 destroyers did not use integrated electric propulsion, but used four gas turbines for dual-shaft propulsion, two for low speed and four for high speed. The two were also used interchangeably, so that the lifespan could be balanced.
These are all things that everyone can take into consideration, so Qin Tao simply talked about them, and he had to focus on the key points.
"Our vertical launch system must be a large-diameter launch system with both hot and cold racks, which is what I call 850 mm in diameter. This can carry a variety of weapons and equipment. All our current missiles can be stuffed into it, including small ones.
Anti-ship ballistic missiles, when the time comes, our 10,000-ton missiles will be able to launch a fatal blow to the enemy at any time. Although the caliber will increase, the number will be reduced, but when we install small missiles, we can kill two in one.
Bullets, or even four bullets in one pit, can greatly improve the flexibility of loading.”
The mK41 launcher developed by the United States has been an advanced representative for a long time. However, it is still too small. When the standard 3 modified missile is launched, it is found that it cannot be inserted. We have locked the 850 in advance.
The diameter of millimeter is convenient for future upgrades, so you don't have to worry about not being big enough.
Qin Tao was the only one left talking at the scene. Doesn’t the new generation of 10,000-ton destroyer have to be designed by the Mingzhou Group?
"When the electromagnetic gun comes out in the future, we will squat on the bow of the ship and hit wherever we point within four hundred kilometers. If the satellites in space are not pleasing to the eye, we can also blast them down with one shot. How majestic!"
Now the United States keeps showing off the ddG-1000, which is indeed superior, but its own side is not inferior, and its own side will also have a more advanced 10,000-ton large-scale propeller! Qin Tao is full of expectations for this.
However, I can only think about it now. After all, the most important shipbuilding project of the Navy is the 002 aircraft carrier. This project involves too much money for the Navy. It is good for other projects to maintain the existing construction intensity. It is impossible to start building new ones.
of.
Now I'm just thinking about it.
This meeting only confirmed that the electromagnetic gun project will be launched, so the meeting is considered over, and the next thing is to think about the future.
After the meeting, Qin Tao's plan is to go to Huating with Ma Ming to see the research and development progress of the electric vehicle project. Sanden has already built it, and then it can be officially announced to the outside world. We can also build electric vehicles, and
Our electric cars are more advanced!
But he still didn't go with Ma Ming. That night, Zhao Ling came back.
"Fortunately, I have already negotiated a production contract for the D227 engine with Ermao." Zhao Ling said: "This is the second engine we have cooperated with, and the superior leaders also attach great importance to it, so the formal signing must be carried out in the capital.
There will also be some leadership participation.”
"Why is it so grand?" Qin Tao shook his head helplessly: "This is just an insignificant project of our Tianjiao Airlines, and the superiors take it too seriously."
"How can the superiors not pay attention to it? Now we have to focus on both self-research and introduction. Your Tianjiao Airlines is a typical representative in the introduction. The D227 engine to be introduced this time is also of great significance to us." Wu Shengli spoke.
Is it of great significance? Qin Tao looked at his father-in-law curiously: "Currently, only our navy's carrier-based early warning aircraft uses this kind of engine. Although it is also very important, it is definitely not as significant as you said, right?"
The Peace Dove II of the Mingzhou Group also plans to use this kind of engine, but it is just a matter of incident. Other engines are also available.
What other projects can also use this kind of engine?
"The performance of this engine is very good, so if we develop an advanced transport aircraft based on this engine, what do you think?" Wu Shengli asked Qin Tao.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This sentence shocked Qin Tao: "Dad, what did you say? This is not a joke! Because we have an engine, we have to develop one
airplane?"
This is exactly the other way around.
In the past, there were aircraft projects first and then engine projects. As a result, the engine development time was longer than that of the aircraft, which ultimately led to project delays or even failure because the engines were not up to standard.
Now, the domestic aviation industry has learned this lesson, but has embarked on another path of no return: actually developing an aircraft based on an engine?
This is inappropriate. The most suitable transport aircraft in China should transport -20, four-engine jet aircraft!
What is the purpose of building a propeller aircraft? Is it going to be the benchmark for the C-130?
The problem is that the output power of the D-227 is very high. The plan was to benchmark it against the C-130, but in the end, it was directly benchmarked against the C-141.
"Currently, we have a serious shortage of large transport aircraft in China. We saw that Ermao's An-70 transport aircraft, although it is a tactical transport aircraft, has strategic transport capabilities. We were wondering if we could use the D-227 engine to build a similar transport aircraft.
.”
The D-227 engine is not only the engine of the Yak-44 early warning aircraft, but is also used in many other aircraft, such as the An-70 tactical transport aircraft developed by the Antonov Design Bureau to replace the An-12 transport aircraft, and the c-
Like the 130, it is planned to install four propeller engines, so that it can have good performance.
As a tactical transport aircraft, the maximum take-off weight of the An-70 is about 132 tons (some say 135 tons), but its maximum load capacity has reached 47 tons. This data is very outstanding. You can compare it with Yin Er-
76, the maximum take-off weight is 182 tons, but the maximum load capacity is only 52 tons.
It can be said that the An-70 is very good, and the size of the cargo compartment is also very suitable. It has no problem transporting main battle tanks. If the Red Empire had not collapsed, this kind of transport aircraft would have been flying in the sky and became a dazzling transport aircraft.
, its performance far exceeds that of its opponent, the C-130, and can even be compared with the Yin'er-76.
However, this transport aircraft has experienced hardships. After the collapse of the Red Empire, the research and development of this transport aircraft came to a halt. Er Mao first found Da Mao and wanted to jointly develop it with Da Mao. Da Mao accepted it at first, but later,
Da Mao gave up. The reason is very simple. If this thing is completed, is it necessary to produce the Yin Er-76? They would rather develop the Yin Er-476 on the basis of the Yin Er-76 than be replaced by the An-70
replace.
After that, Ermao wanted to enter the European market. This idea was too naive. Europe can develop Airbus, but can't it develop a transport aircraft? Soon, the A400m project was established, and the idea of An-70 entering the European market was shattered.
.
East?
Dongfang will not want it, because this transport aircraft has not yet been successfully developed, and Dongfang will not hand over its transport aircraft market to others. It will definitely develop it itself.
Now, this transport aircraft is almost in a state of death. Speaking of the reasons, some people have hit the nail on the head: Antonov is the Antonov of the Soviet Union, not the Antonov of the Ermao.
Although the design bureau is with Ermao, it is only responsible for design. Although Ermao has motors, it only produces engines. All the equipment needed to produce the entire aircraft comes from the entire Soviet Union. After the collapse of the Red Empire, Ermao wants to rely on
It is no longer possible to develop it on your own because they do not have a complete aviation industry chain.
Now, in order to develop better, Motor Sich Company has decided to enter the Eastern market and has also brought the second D227 engine to Dongfang. Dongfang's Yunba was originally copied from the An-12 transport aircraft. This is natural. It makes people think that we can also use the D227 engine to develop an upgraded version of the Y8.
If this thing is completed, will there still be a market for Y-20?
Qin Tao immediately shook his head: "No, let's not go it alone. It is more appropriate for us to develop a transport aircraft similar to the Yin'er-76. The relevant units have also started pre-research, and now they have to change their minds midway. It’s inappropriate.”
Qin Tao doesn't want to lose the Y-20 for his own reasons. After all, there are not many transport aircraft using propeller-fan engines in the world. The An-70's data looks excellent, but it is still a semi-finished product after all, and Yin Er -76 has long been mature, how can we imitate an immature aircraft?
Turbofan engines are still a trend. We will first imitate them on the basis of the D-30. Later, we will develop our own engines with greater thrust to improve the performance of the Y-20. When it arrives, it will be able to achieve a maximum take-off weight of 220 tons and a load capacity of more than 66 tons. This data far exceeds that of the An-70 transport aircraft, and it is impossible to improve the data of the An-70 transport aircraft. Therefore, in terms of potential, it is also necessary to develop the Yun-20.
Qin Tao strongly opposed it.
Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao seriously: "We are doing this to find sales for your Tianjiao Airlines products, but you are not even tempted?"
"The product sales of our Tianjiao Airlines are important, and the equipment development of the army is even more important. We must not go the wrong way." Qin Tao said: "If our army is really interested, it would be better to directly replace the Yunba and replace the four Just replace the six turboprops with two D-227 engines, which will reduce the maintenance workload by half."
The Yunba uses a turboprop six engine. The initial model only had 4,250 horsepower. The later turboprop six c only increased the power to about 6,000 horsepower. The D-227 has a maximum output of 14,000 horsepower, so , you can completely replace one with two. After replacement, the performance will be completely improved.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! For military aircraft, four engines are to ensure sufficient redundancy. If one of them breaks down, it can continue to fly. However, as With the development of technology and the enhancement of engine power, it is also a trend to replace two engines with four engines.
Not to mention transport aircraft, the same is true for passenger aircraft. For a long time, in order to meet the safety needs of intercontinental flights, relevant standards required three or four engines as standard equipment. However, later, all aircraft performing intercontinental flight missions were equipped with two engines. Motivated.
The Yun-20 is a strategic transport aircraft, and the Yun-8 is a tactical transport aircraft. However, because the former is too expensive, the latter also has many uses, such as airborne early warning aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, etc. Many of them will be improved with the Yun-8. This platform is its own , don’t worry about being controlled by others.
After further upgrades, the Yun-8 became the Yun-9. The main project was to replace it with a turboprop six-c engine. Now, it is simply further modified to become a twin-engine transport aircraft!
Qin Tao proposed this idea, Wu Shengli thought about it seriously, and then nodded: "This suggestion is simpler and more direct. I think that at the signing ceremony, Shaanxi Aircraft personnel can also appear. Wait until this dual-engine modification
After success, let’s talk about the four engines.”
The advantage of this kind of modification is that the modification is small and easy to succeed, and after the modification is made, the aircraft will be of great use.
After all, a tactical transport aircraft using propellers does not have to choose a runway and has good take-off and landing characteristics, so it still has its uses.
On the same day, Wu Shengli went to coordinate. Qin Tao did not participate too much. He stayed with his wife and children at home and waited until the official signing time before showing up.
The signing ceremony was held in the most famous hall in the capital. Boguslayev, the head of Motorsich Company, came in person, and Zamotaeva followed behind him. She was wearing a beautiful dress and looked like a perfect person.
So beautiful.
"Today, we are very happy that the cooperation between us and Ermao has further deepened and continued to make progress in the aviation industry. We have not only cooperated to produce the AI-222 engine, but are now about to sign a production contract for the D-227. The production of this engine
, represents our friendship and our cooperation in the aviation industry!" The leaders attending the meeting were very happy and gave an impromptu speech.
The camera lenses were ringing in the Katcha Katcha area, and the flashlights were shining on the signing site. Boguslaev also gave a speech: "We are very happy to cooperate with the East to produce engines. We value the East's market and believe that there will be opportunities in the East."
In a better future, Dongfang will be one of the main customers of our Motor Sich Company. Our cooperation has not ended. In the future, more and more advanced engines will be produced in Dongfang and equipped on Dongfang's aircraft.
,Fly to the world!”
In the camera, Boguslayev and Qin Tao were sitting on the table, signing and exchanging agreements. The camera flashed again, recording this precious and beautiful moment.
After the ceremony, everyone sat in the conference room again.
"Mr. Boguslaev, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Peng Yunfei, from our domestic Shaanxi Aircraft Group. You should know that the Yunba they are currently producing is the largest transport aircraft produced in our country." Qin
Tao introduced a middle-aged man to Boguslaev.
Boguslaev nodded: "Yes, I know, this is developed on the basis of our An-12 transport aircraft. This aircraft has a history of several decades and has long been outdated. Have you updated it?"
Have you thought about changing the generation?"
"Yes." Peng Yunfei said: "Currently, we are developing its upgraded model. Now that we have signed the contract, we hope to install the D-227 engine on our aircraft. Just two of them will be enough."
It can exceed the power of the original four units, which can effectively improve the performance of our transport aircraft. We call this modification the Yunjiu. If it can be successfully developed, the output will be large."
In fact, there has already been a model of the Yinjiu in history. This is a large military transport aircraft designed by the 603 Institute in 1969. It looks somewhat similar to the Yin'er-76 in appearance, with an upper monoplane, a T-shaped vertical tail, and a hoist under the wing.
The original targets set for four jet engines were quite good, but unfortunately the domestic industrial base could not realize them at all, so this aircraft only remained on paper and could not be developed at all.
Now, they named the facelift of Yunba as Yunjiu. After all, this facelift is quite big and can become a new model.
After hearing what Peng Yunfei said, Boguslaev was very excited. Sure enough, it was exactly what he thought! As long as it is produced in the East, the East will consider using this engine on their aircraft. Their engine will finally become the power of the transport aircraft.
Now, it can be mass-produced!
This is the case with the AI-222. There is no market at all in Ermao. Even the trainer aircraft developed by the Yakovlev Design Bureau are no longer used. After coming to the East for production, trainer aircraft, drones, etc. began to be equipped in large quantities.
The order of several hundred units has completely saved them and allowed them to gain a lot of profits. Now, the D-227 engine is produced in Dongfang. Dongfang will also use this engine on many aircraft. This engine can also be used for motors.
Qi Company has brought in huge profits.
"Okay, our technical staff will fully cooperate to help you complete the modification." Boguslaev said: "I hope that the transport aircraft equipped with our D-227 engine can fly in the eastern sky!"
"Our Mingzhou Group's self-developed Peace Dove 2 ground-effect aircraft also plans to use this kind of engine. Therefore, since we have signed the agreement, we must produce it as soon as possible without delaying our project." Qin Tao said.
"Of course, we are ready for production. As long as the funds are in place, this engine can be produced on our production line within half a year." Zamotayeva said: "At present, the second batch
The technicians have already planned to come."
One of the important reasons why Tianjiao Company's products can be put into production quickly is that they dispatched a large number of skilled technical workers. Now more than 50% of the workers in Tianjiao Airlines are Lao Maozi. They have advanced production equipment and skilled technology.
Workers and product production are of course very fast.
In order to produce the D-227 engine, they will continue to send workers here, which is almost like moving the company to Motorsich.
When these old men come to the East, they don’t have to worry about eating, drinking, and eating. They can drink a few sips a day, their wages are not in arrears, and prices don’t rise. It’s a paradise for them. Even if there is a stalemate between the two parties in the future, not many will be willing to go back.
indivual.
Qin Tao is very satisfied with this status quo.
Peng Yunfei has already discussed the details with Lao Maozi's engineers.
Peng Yunfei has been busy with the modification work of Yunba these years. Now he heard that there is a new engine and it will be greatly modified on the basis of Yunba. He came over immediately, and now, listening to Motor Siqi Company's
The technician introduced the specific data of this engine, and the more he listened, the happier he became.
It has powerful power and long service life. It is very suitable to change the equipment on Yunba, which can quickly increase the performance of Yunba!
The Yun-8 is not only the main domestic tactical transport aircraft, but also a modification platform for special aircraft. In particular, the third domestic early warning aircraft is planned to be modified on the basis of the Yun-8.
Because there is no suitable engine to provide strong power to Yunba, the current main plan for the Yunba modified early warning aircraft is to add a stick on the back of the aircraft, commonly known as a balance beam. An early warning aircraft carrying a large plate does not have strong power.
It won’t work! Now that the engine is powerful, Mugupan’s Yunba early warning aircraft can also enter the fast lane of development!
"The wings need to be redesigned. After all, the stress-bearing parts have changed." After consulting with the other party, Peng Yunfei made this conclusion: "This is a big project, but after the changes, our Yunjiu performance will definitely have a better performance."
Rapid changes.”
For any aircraft, the wings are crucial. Changing the wings is almost equivalent to a redesign. However, the Yunba originally had insufficient wing area, resulting in poor performance. This time, this problem has been solved.
Get rid of!
After the improvement, Yunjiu can still fly for another fifty years!
The meeting went smoothly, and at the same time, the news began to spread around the world, and some people's eyes began to become complicated.
