The electromagnetic deflagration pulse engine in front of them kept roaring in front of their eyes!
In a short moment, huge energy burst out!
They could even hear the constant tearing electromagnetic explosions in the engine.
The most important thing is what Jiang Chen said just now!
This is just military thrust performance!
They really didn't expect that the full power operation they just thought was just military thrust.
This is equivalent to that just now it has been tested with normal performance, not even running at full power!
Thinking of this, everyone's pupils trembled, looking incredible.
"hiss"
"This is its real afterburner thrust??"
"Was it just military thrust? Then how much military thrust does it have?"
Lu Yuanhang took a breath and was shocked!
The trembling hands showed his inner unrest, and he was eagerly asking for the answer he wanted.
Hear the question.
Jiang Chen was typing a string of characters on the computer, and a line of data suddenly popped up!
"Its military thrust reaches ..330KN!" (1KN=0.102 tons of thrust.)
"That's close to thirty-three tons of thrust!"
He nodded with satisfaction.
This time, this data is in line with the performance that a sixth-generation aeroengine should have!
However.
For a moment, there was silence in the research institute.
Only the engine is still running fiercely at full power, still roaring!
"How many tons of thrust?"
"Thirty-three tons of thrust? Or military thrust??"
“Isn’t this performance too outrageous??”
Zhao Xiu's eyes widened with shock on his face. He was frightened by this number!
Even if he is not a scholar or expert in the aerospace field at all, he still knows how terrifying 33 tons of thrust is!
"Even the military thrust is comparable to the maximum thrust of the previous deflagration pulse engine!"
"Not to mention compared to the likes of the Turbofan-15!"
There was strong excitement in Lu Yuanhang's words.
Although he knows that after replacing new materials, the performance of aeroengines will be greatly improved!
But I didn’t expect that the improvement could be so big!
Even the best F135 engine in Yingjiang has a military thrust of only 124KN, which is not even 1/3 of this performance!
The military thrust of 33 tons is equivalent to more than double the maximum afterburner thrust of others!
For any fighter, this is no less than a complete transformation!
Waiting for everyone to calm down.
Jiang Chen continued to read the next piece of data:
"In terms of maximum thrust (afterburner) performance!"
"It's a bit beyond my expectation. It actually has a maximum thrust close to 48 tons!"
"We almost achieved our goal overdue!"
Originally, he estimated that the electromagnetic pulse deflagration engine would be replaced with a new alloy material.
The maximum thrust should be about 46 tons, but it turned out to be more than two tons of thrust!
After thinking about it carefully, this should be the result of the new alloy material.
After all, this kind of material is higher than the requirements in the engine development design drawings.
Hear this performance data.
"What's the maximum thrust of 48 tons? This is the thrust data."
"It's hard to imagine that our turbofan-15 engine only has a maximum thrust of 18 tons."
"But it's normal. The military thrust is close to 33 tons, so it's not surprising that the maximum thrust is 48 tons!"
"This is 48 tons. Doesn't Yingjiang's XA-100 only have a thrust of twenty tons?"
"This thrust, even if it is placed on a space rocket, cannot be considered too low."
Lu Yuanhang and others were mentally prepared!
I’m not too surprised by this number!
After all, military thrust can reach 33 tons, and the maximum thrust of 48 tons is considered a normal range.
However, this maximum thrust is more than 2.5 times that of fifth-generation fighter jets such as F22 and F35!
This means that as long as this engine is equipped!
Whether it is regular cruising speed or maximum speed, it is instantly faster than any fifth-generation fighter!
now.
The entire engine finally stopped running, and the roar that filled the research institute completely dissipated.
All kinds of data are constantly being processed.
Looking at the tail nozzle of the engine, several academicians from the Aviation Academy were amazed.
"This heat dissipation performance is really great!"
"You actually dissipated all your own heat energy in such a short period of time?"
“The temperature is still dropping rapidly”
The scene in front of them really made them feel incredible!
Maintaining maximum thrust for several minutes.
After a short period of time, the engine nozzle had returned to its silver appearance.
This is truly amazing!
You must know that for many engines, a few minutes at maximum power is enough to make the entire tail nozzle turn red!
This new type of alloy material has explosive performance in terms of its upper temperature limit and its own strength!
Even the heat dissipation performance is almost unique.
"But what's more important is!"
"The fuel consumption rate of this engine has once again dropped by more than 20%!"
"Even at full power and maximum thrust, its maintenance time has been increased by nearly 40%."
Jiang Chen took a look at the fuel consumption displayed on it and said.
Hear this.
There was almost a burst of ecstasy on everyone’s faces!
"In the maximum thrust state, the maintenance time is increased by 40%?"
"Comprehensive fuel consumption has dropped by 20% again!"
It goes without saying how important fuel consumption is to a fighter jet!
This means a larger combat radius and higher cruising range. A fighter aircraft that cannot fly far is inherently disabled.
The maximum thrust duration is increased by 40%, which is even more precious for heavy-duty air superiority aircraft like the J-20!
This is equivalent to you being able to sprint at a speed of 100 meters and run more than 40% longer than others!
This performance improvement is beyond imagination for any fighter aircraft.
even though.
Even the military thrust performance is nearly double the maximum thrust of others!
But who of them would object to better engine performance?
"The last bit of data is the temperature margin!"
"The maximum temperature of this aero engine is: 2500 degrees, and the upper limit temperature of the engine is 2700 degrees!"
"200 degrees margin!"
After Jiang Chen told the last set of data!
In an instant!
All the researchers present had uncontrollable surprise on their faces!
After all, no matter how good the metal material is, there will be performance aging, and the upper limit of the temperature it can withstand will drop after each use!
So the higher the margin of an engine, the longer its service life will be!
It can even be used for thousands of hours!
This is something that no heavy fighter aircraft has been able to do before.
Jiang Chen showed a smile on his face and said:
"Aviation engine research and development project! Officially declared successful!"
"Let's build this truly sixth-generation aero engine!"
"All cheers!!"
Just when everyone is excited.
Lin Congli, who was standing aside and watching silently, said:
"General Manager Jiang, this time really opened my eyes!"
“I can only describe the comprehensive performance of this aero engine as amazing!”
"I can't imagine what kind of performance our fighter jets can achieve if they are equipped with this engine."
Dean Lin's mood at this moment cannot be described in words!
This kind of terrifying performance data is probably equipped on a fourth-generation aircraft like the J-10.
The performance it exerts can probably beat any fifth-generation machine!
Even letting the J-8 challenge the F22 is not impossible.
Think of this.
“Whether it’s a new alloy material!”
"It's still this sixth-generation electromagnetic pulse deflagration engine."
Lin Congli looked at everyone present and continued to speak:
"No matter what resources, manpower, or cost!"
"Our Academy of Sciences must produce it as quickly as possible!"
"Let our J-20 and even J-15 and J-10 be able to use this kind of aero engine!"
This is not just an order issued by the Academy of Sciences!
It’s not just the highest order passed down from above!
"yes!"
Everyone, including Jiang Chen, answered in unison.
Not just to accomplish the tasks accomplished above.
Not just for the entire Institute and Academy of Sciences!
Especially for the Chinese Air Force!
And the more than one billion people who have been looking forward to this day for hundreds of years!
Two days later.
Inside the Air Force Flight Test Base of the Academy of Sciences.
Several elite pilots were called over directly!
Waiting for orders here at the airport!
"This time, you won't ask me to test some old fighter jets again, right?"
"What kind of J-6 or J-8 are they??"
"I've already done the flight test? Is it possible that the Academy of Sciences has developed a Taiwan J-5?"
Li Jianfei muttered to himself with confusion on his face.
Since this time!
Whether it is him or several other pilots, they have been flying and testing various old fighter jets almost all the time!
And he has flown almost all models of old-fashioned fighter planes!
He even wondered if his ace pilot had turned into an old-fashioned fighter test pilot!
While several people were making their own guesses.
At this moment.
Jiang Chen and Lu Yuanhang came over!
"General Engineer Jiang, Academician Lu!!"
"What is the fighter jet we are testing this time??"
"You won't really let me test fly the J-5. Can that thing still fly??"
Li Jianfei scratched his head and asked curiously.
Although equipped with a new engine, the performance is indeed very good.
But every time he did a flight test, he was afraid that these fighter jets, which had been retired for many years, would fall apart!
Hear this.
Lu Yuanhang shook his head and said to Li Jianfei.
"This test is particularly important!"
"Captain Li will conduct the flight test!"
"Please be careful to avoid any unexpected situations!"
"If any accident occurs, escape as soon as possible"
Once again he repeated this cliché.
"Yes!!" Li Jianfei's face suddenly became serious.
Several people slowly walked into the hangar.
At this moment, a completely different fighter jet was parked quietly on the spot!
Like a prostrate giant eagle, the streamlined wings and the particularly obvious flat cabin!
"Today, the J-20 I want to test is this J-20??"
"The latest J-20 fighter jet?"
Li Jianfei was so excited at the moment that he couldn't hold back his smile!
This was not just as simple as the fifth-generation fighter J-20. He saw it at a glance, and it looked like it was equipped with a new engine at the tail!
This is obvious. After a long period of testing, the new engine has been installed on the J-20, China's most powerful heavy-duty air superiority aircraft!
Finally, he waited until this moment and could test fly the brand new J-20!
"Chief Engineer Jiang, Academician Lu, can we have a test flight?"
"My driving time in the J-20 is no less than Captain Li's!"
"When I started serving in the military, I basically flew J-15s and J-20s!"
Several pilots nearby asked uncontrollably.
This is a J-20 equipped with a new engine!
For an ace pilot, who wouldn't want to make his first test flight? This may be the biggest temptation for them!
Listen to these words.
"During this period, the J-20 will continue to conduct flight tests!"
"So don't worry, you all have a chance!"
"There may be unexpected situations in this test, so let Captain Li do it first!"
Jiang Chen slowly opened his mouth and explained.
After all, Li Jianfei has the longest flight time and service time.
And he is also the one with the most delicate and steady driving skills.
It feels more secure to leave it to him for the first flight!
After a while.
Pulled to the runway by a tractor.
Li Jianfei sat in the cockpit of the J-20 and took a few deep breaths!
Although the J-20 is the fighter jet he has been flying before.
But at this time, he still maintained 100% concentration and did not dare to relax at all!
After checking that all equipment was normal, the engine was slowly started.
Because many old fighters equipped with new engines have been tested before.
So he was prepared in advance and didn't dare to rush in at the beginning!
However.
He just pulled up the accelerator slightly.
In an instant.
A huge force of power was rapidly transmitted from the back of the J-20! !
It seemed that in just a few seconds, it reached take-off speed!
Cutting directly through the sky, flying upward at a right angle!
And at this time.
The pilots who were watching outside the runway had their eyes widened, looking astonished!
"Hey, is this going to directly reach take-off speed?"
"Why does this feel different from the previous engine? This acceleration is too fast!!"
"Even with a new type of engine, it's impossible to just pull onions on dry land, right?"
"That's right. The J-20 is not the J-6. This J-20 is a heavy-duty air superiority aircraft. Isn't the general take-off weight about 25 tons?"
Seeing this scene, all the pilots took a breath, it was so terrifying! !
It can allow the J-20, which weighs 20 to 30 tons, to take off directly at such a fast acceleration.
And what’s even more outrageous is that it took off almost at a right angle on dry land!
The performance of this engine is too terrifying!
Suddenly.
They noticed that the speed of the J-20, which was constantly cruising and accelerating in the air, was rising rapidly.
In an instant, it directly entered the supersonic cruising state, but the speed still did not stop rising!
"This cruise is accelerating. Is it that fast?"
"This doesn't seem to be the previous engine, right? I don't think the tail flames and the outer casing look alike."
"Is it possible that this is the engine with better performance that Mr. Jiang said before?"
"Hey, what kind of performance will it achieve? How many tons of full thrust will it have?"
Several people were talking in shock.
It’s really unimaginable what a new engine with better performance than the previous one can achieve? ?
I was even more excited to try it, and even wished I could take Li Jianfei’s place for the first flight right now!
I heard their words.
"That's not even full thrust."
"Even the performance of military thrust has not been fully utilized."
"Currently it is estimated that the performance is only about 70% of military thrust!"
Lu Yuanhang shook his head and explained.
Just in the current state of acceleration and cruising, he may have overestimated 70% of it.
Not to mention the full thrust of up to 48 tons, which is currently less than half!
"Hey, this is only 70% of the military push?"
"If you're not careful, just push the speed all the way."
When the pilots heard this outrageous performance, their faces suddenly became dull!
No wonder Captain Li was asked to conduct the first flight test.
If it were them, they would probably make a mistake in the operation accidentally and the machine would be destroyed and everyone would be killed!
at this time.
Thousands of meters in the air!
Li Jianfei, who was flying this J-20, was constantly shocked in his heart!
“This performance”
"This is the new engine after a comprehensive upgrade??"
"Is the J-20 I'm flying really?"
Almost every performance indicator can shock him!
Just the take-off distance of just a few dozen meters is terrifying!
This is a fully equipped heavy-duty fighter jet with over 25 tons of fuel!
This new type of engine is so powerful with just a little fuel?
Not to mention that after taking off, it accelerated directly to supersonic cruising state in a short period of time!
The new engine from before was shocking enough!
And now this newly upgraded engine matches the performance of the J-20.
It shocked him even more.
He even feels that this J-20 equipped with a new engine may be able to defeat the previous 2-3 aircraft alone!
At this time.
Suddenly, Li Jianfei noticed something very important!
I suddenly took a breath of cold air!
"Hey, good guy."
“This is already a supersonic cruising speed exceeding Mach 2.4, but it’s not even full thrust??”
"This is still a military push? Isn't it?"
Only then did he notice that he hadn't pushed to the afterburner position just now?
The screen shows that he is still in the middle thrust state! Not even reaching the limit of intermediate thrust!
To know.
The cruising speed of Yingjiang's F22 fighter jet is only Mach 1.58!
Even at full thrust, it can only reach Mach 2.25 briefly! (About 5-10 minutes!)
And this J-20 actually exceeded the top speed of the F22 without even fully exerting its intermediate thrust!
"Let me turn on the afterburner and try it!"
"What kind of extreme performance can this J-20 achieve?"
Li Jianfei's eyes flashed with a different kind of light and he murmured to himself.
It is a shame for an ace pilot to be unable to exert the power of a top fighter!
Moreover, for the purpose of flight testing, he also had to know the data of the fighter jet under full thrust.
Directly push the refueling push rod to the afterburner position!
In an instant!
The fighter jet, which was already in a rapid state, suddenly accelerated again! !
In the electromagnetic pulse deflagration engine, hundreds of fuel injectors continuously inject fuel into the afterburner chamber! !
The power once again increased several notches, and the top cruising speed once again climbed sharply!
Mach 2.5! Mach 2.8! ! Finally, it directly exceeded Mach 3 and is still rising.
When Li Jianfei accelerated to Mach 3.2, he stopped!
It's not that the engine has reached its performance limit, but that the J-20 is simply not suitable for cruising at such high speeds.
"Am I driving a J-20 after all?"
“Are you still flying the space shuttle??”
"This doesn't even reach the maximum thrust??"
PS: Update 10,000 words per day! Please recommend monthly tickets!
If there is afterburner, then the maximum thrust generally refers to the performance after using afterburner thrust.
Military thrust/intermediate thrust = maximum thrust without afterburner thrust.
