"Yes, yes, we will definitely catch up!" Professor Zhao was sixty years old, just like a child, his face flushed red.
"The most critical thing for us now is to complete its various tests, especially the safety test of the entire machine. My purpose is not to study the engine, I want to design a fighter jet." Jiang Yan Hai said seriously.
"Hahahaha! Okay, don't worry, kid! It's just your engine! I'm not going to brag, even if the aerodynamic layout of the fighter jet you designed is not up to standard, it will be able to push it into the sky for you! And it can also become a fighter jet with good overall performance!"
Professor Zhao said with a cheerful smile.
"Then you have to pass the test anyway." Jiang Yan Hai also laughed immediately. This is true. The thrust is strong enough, and any shape can be sent to you.
"Okay, don't worry, we will start testing you now." Professor Zhao said directly with a smile.
Next, Jiang Yan Hai saw the struggle of these scientific researchers. It can be said that they are much better than those programmers who stay up late to program.
Anyway, this is a private research institute. The engine testing can not follow the conventional procedures, but can directly start the complete machine testing. After the second unit is built, some destructive tests can be started, etc.
The long-term commissioning test of the entire machine not only tests the life of the engine, but also tests the performance of the engine components, etc.
For example, the current domestic Fighter Jet Engine requires a special inspection every 50-100 hours to check the performance of wearing parts including load-bearing parts, oil filters, and oil pumps.
A major overhaul takes one thousand hours, and the life of a Fighter Jet Engine is only 1,800 hours. In actual use, this life is even lower.
Of course, this is the part that was manufactured before. At present, after breakthroughs in certain materials in China, the overall life of the entire engine including overhaul can reach more than 4,000 hours, which is twice as long as before.
The U. S. Fighter Jet Engine has a longer service life than the domestic one. Many years ago, the American company was able to achieve an overall engine life of 8,000 hours after renovation. There is a big gap between China and the other country in this regard, and this is the other country's technology from the last century.
If there is a gap, we must recognize it. Only by recognizing the gap can we catch up. We cannot blindly brag, nor blindly read the reports of third-rate media. There is not much truth.
Weakness is weakness, but over the years, we have caught up in so many aspects, including this one.
As for the specific lifespan of Phantom Engine's new material, it's difficult to say for Jiang Yan Hai, because an engine that has not undergone complete machine commissioning testing is incomplete. The specific details must wait for complete machine commissioning testing, including 150H hours of long-term testing, etc., all of which will be carried out.
Anyway, there are only a few engines, and they will come and go as they please, and they will break as they please. Only if problems are discovered in the test workshop, there will be no problems in fighter jets in the future.
The F22's F119 engine can achieve 500,000 hours without accidents. Although this is the total data of all fighter jets combined, it is also a very powerful data, which can prove that Pratt & Whitney Engine Company's technology in this area is indeed outstanding.
The first step in the Phantom Engine test was to conduct a 150-hour long-term operation test. As for whether it will break down, no one knows. Its fuel consumption is naturally a huge number, but this fuel cost is just drizzle for this engine that has been successfully developed.
Moreover, in order to keep this new aviation fuel secret, Li Yun Feng directly bought several refineries, and all blending was done within its own factory.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about lack of fuel quantity.
150 hours of long-term operation is already a very long time for a fighter jet, and within these 150 hours, it is not just a direct ignition test to keep it running. During these 150 hours, its various thrusts at different stages will be continuously tested.
Even including its vector propulsion, etc., all tests that can be performed during operation can be performed.
After two days of engine testing, Jiang Yan Hai left here. When he left, he had already greeted the hound.
The security level here will be raised several levels. It is estimated that anyone who does not know who approaches will be directly scrutinized.
All personnel within the entire research institute are naturally under surveillance. Jiang Yan Hai has not notified Old Liu about the situation of the engine for the time being. It is not that he is afraid that the results will be occupied by others. With Jiang Yan Hai's current status, such a thing is unlikely to happen to him.
But after all, the first test run of the engine has not ended yet. After the 150-hour long test run is completed, we can know how the engine is doing based on the results of the test run.
Even though Jiang Yan Hai knows its quality and effect, it still has to wait for testing.
These test results are indispensable. This will be necessary when the aircraft is used for actual test flights in the future.
150 hours is just over six days. He can still afford to wait for this time. From the design to the final birth of a fighter jet, sometimes it takes more than ten years to be born, and he has made this speed fast enough.
Let the engine be tested first, and then the wind tunnel can be blown.
The wind tunnel is simple, and Jiang Yan Hai has all the external styling data of the entire Phantom. Moreover, when he was studying in school during this period, he also watched the J20 that Old Liu applied for, including the internal circuit design of J10.
In fact, they all have most of the same purpose, and it is not difficult to design the interior while maintaining the Phantom's appearance.
As far as this part is concerned, Jiang Yan Hai designed it himself. After all, the entire appearance is the same, but he still has to make his own arrangements for the internal circuit design, including various electronic equipment and instruments.
Including the internal fuel tank and the special structure to match the electronic equipment, the design is not an easy task. Fortunately, the exterior design Jiang Yan Hai has it all here.
When it comes to calculations and analysis, the Electronic Warfare system is strong, but that's all. He can probably create the Phantom before Dark Blade Unit is successfully established.
It may be different from the original Phantom's internal design, but these are not important. Part of the internal design does not affect its actual performance.
What affects its actual performance is what Composite Materials can do.
But don't rush that. Work out some of your own designs first. For example, the wind tunnel is blowing first, the engine is tested first, and the design of the Phantom is worked out first. Then Composite Materials will naturally not be a problem.
