Chapter 383 Phoenix-1 Improved Engineering Conference
Sure enough, just a few days after Wang Bin gave the order, the laboratory has designed a new generation of pulse detonation engine, and according to the data, the thrust of their newly designed pulse detonation engine will reach 18 At the same time, this engine also has the ability to transform aerospace, which means that as long as this engine is manufactured and successfully passed various tests, then this engine can be used as the power of an aerospace aircraft. This is absolutely epoch-making for Tiangong Technology and China as a whole.
Therefore, when the design drawings of this engine came out, Wang Bin immediately called in Professor Sun and Professor Dai and other aerospace vehicle design departments, and told them about the matter.
“Professor Dai! Professor Dai! As well as experts, because of our Tiangong Science and Technology Aerospace Engine Laboratory, we have achieved certain results in the research and development of aerospace engines, and have designed aerospace engine drawings… ..” Then Wang Bin killed Professor Dai, Professor Piao, Sun Lao and others with the basic performance of the aerospace integrated engine designed by the Rocket Engine Laboratory.
After introducing the performance of the engine, Wang Bin continued to ask: “So, I summon everyone to come and discuss about the launch of the aerospace aircraft project.
Presumably everyone knows the performance of the Phoenix-1 aircraft we are currently flying with Tiangong Technology, so I want to ask if we can transform it into an aerospace aircraft based on this aircraft, after all This aircraft is sufficient in terms of the structural strength of the airframe, the high temperature resistance of the aircraft’s skin and the airtightness of the aircraft. ”
After listening to Wang Bin, Sun Lao, Professor Dai and others did not answer Wang Bin’s words immediately, but inferred in their minds the possibility of transforming the Phoenix-1 aircraft into an aerospace aircraft. At the same time , They also discuss with each other from time to time.
It was not until two hours later that Professor Sun stood up and said, “Mr. Wang! According to my inference, the Phoenix-1 aircraft is indeed capable of being transformed into an aerospace aircraft. After all, according to the original design of this aircraft, It is the original data on the drawings you provided, Mr. Wang. The design purpose of this aircraft itself is designed for air and space transportation.
And our Phoenix-1 aircraft is also optimized and improved on the original drawings, and according to the aircraft skin, airtightness and body strength, the basic platform of this aircraft can definitely be aerospace modified, as long as the aircraft’s The engine can be used for aerospace flight by replacing it with an aerospace-integrated engine.
Of course, it is not a simple matter to transform this aircraft into a space aircraft. First of all, many unused equipment in the aircraft must be dismantled. At the same time, the cargo warehouse of the aircraft must also be removed. Transform it so that it has to be stronger in terms of airtightness.
In addition, to transform the aerospace, it is necessary to install life support systems and oxygen circulation systems for the aircraft. Fortunately, these equipment, the domestic official development is very mature, and we do not need to re-development by ourselves.
However, even if this is the case, we need to face many difficulties if we want to transform the Phoenix-1 into aerospace.
Also, according to my speculation, after the aerospace modification, the low-altitude flight distance of this aircraft will be greatly reduced to less than 300 kilometers. After all, after the aerospace modification, most of the aircraft’s interior Space will be used for rocket fuel, not aviation fuel.
In addition, in order to fit more rocket fuel in the limited space, we have to shrink the cargo warehouse of the aircraft, or even directly ban the cargo warehouse, so that the aircraft can hold more rocket fuel.
At the same time, after the transformation, the thrust generated by only two engines is not enough. After all, according to my guess, after the transformation, the weight of the aircraft will be greatly Ascension, and the full load weight will be at least double the current one. In other words, the maximum weight of the aircraft in Gaizhou will reach about 130 to 150 tons.
In short, it is not an easy task to transform the Phoenix-1 aircraft into aerospace, and its technology is still quite difficult. ”
That is, after Mr. Sun finished speaking, Professor Dai immediately stood up and said: “Mr. Wang! My inference is the same as Mr. Sun, Phoenix-1. It is indeed possible to transform into an aerospace plane. Of course, The specifics still have to wait for our company’s over-calculation calculation results to be determined, so I won’t say much about this aspect.
According to my speculation, the Phoenix-1 aircraft undergoing aerospace transformation is indeed a good idea, and after the transformation…”
After Professor Dai finished speaking, Professor Poke also stood up and expressed his own opinion.
In the end, everyone reached a consensus that the Phoenix-1 aircraft can be aerospace modified.
However, in the course of the discussion, they also revealed the defects of this aircraft after their inference.
First of all, naturally due to the limited fuselage volume of this aircraft, after the transformation, although it has the ability to fly in the air and merge into orbit, the maximum altitude that can be reached is about 200 kilometers orbits. Once this altitude is exceeded , Then the fuel carried inside is not enough to send the aircraft back to the ground.
Of course, in the future, you can also choose to use the rocket directly to send the fuel needed by the aircraft, so that the aircraft can fly higher in space. It is not impossible even to fly to the moon, but it is temporarily impossible. of.
Secondly, in terms of carrying capacity, the orbit below 150 kilometers, according to calculations, is about three to five tons, while between more than 150 kilometers and 200 kilometers, the carrying capacity is only a few hundred. Jin to about three tons.
In addition, according to the discussion, it was determined that the most important role of the modified aircraft is to carry personnel. Therefore, the transportation of personnel is naturally very important.
However, due to the larger the number of aircraft members, the higher the requirements for the internal life maintenance of the aircraft and the water-hydrogen-oxygen cruise system, and the larger the size of the equipment, so naturally the number of people that can be carried each time is unlikely to be many, the largest number of people. The number can probably only be maintained below ten people.
With the end of the meeting, and after confirming the aerospace transformation of the Phoenix-1 aircraft, Wang Bin and the others also decided to establish a new department, which is the aerospace vehicle design department. The person in charge of this department will temporarily Professor Poke is in charge, while Lao Sun and Professor Dai are the secondary persons in charge.
At the same time, this department will also draw personnel from several other aerospace-related departments.
In addition, the department that previously designed the aerospace integrated pulse detonation engine will also become a subordinate department of this department. After all, the main purpose of the aerospace integrated engine is still on the aerospace aircraft.
