When Tengfei jet power office, the predecessor of Tengfei aviation power manufacturing plant, reported to Zhuang Jianye the results they found and the attached cost control plan in a briefing.
Zhuang Jianye, who had not yet made such a layout, was also surprised. He did not expect that the jet power office at that time would do this.
According to Zhuang Jianye's original idea, after waiting for the then Tengfei factory to gain a foothold in the two transformation new businesses of aviation professional equipment and manned aircraft, and making some achievements, it turned back to promote the transformation of core aircraft.
Considering this, the main reason is that the investment in aviation gas turbine power plant is too large, and new business growth points need to be cultivated during the transformation of Tengfei plant, so as to have sufficient funds to support aviation gas turbine power plant.
Secondly, I still feel that Tengfei factory has a weak foundation in the field of aviation gas turbine power plant. It is only after full calculation that it has made D-20 and D-30 gas turbine power plants. As for the d-40, which is more powerful, it is not mature as a whole. Even if it is added, it is only three. The accumulation in many aspects is still very insufficient.
So at that time, Zhuang Jianye felt that he still used these three models to lay a solid foundation. In this way, he not only had little resistance, but also had little difficulty in capital and technology.
In any case, deriving different aviation gas turbine power plants based on the core engine is not only a technological innovation, but also an all-round reform of production concept, management mode and even the follow-up strategy of the whole enterprise.
Because of this, Zhuang Jianye is very cautious about this. After all, the aviation power department is different from other fields. It is a business department with strong continuity, and it often takes more than ten years or even decades to build a model.
If we can maintain the continuity of the talent team, it is better not to interfere with their specific production and research architecture under normal circumstances, otherwise, it is easy to cause unnecessary confusion and affect the performance and quality of products.
In other words, the whole aviation power department is like a living cell. It has its internal self consistent structure to ensure its vitality. At the same time, it also has a seemingly strong but very fragile cell membrane.
You can give it nutrients to maintain its strong vitality, but you need superb skills to transform it, otherwise once the thin cell wall is pierced, it will make the cells die instantly.
There are too many such cases in China, and there are countless cases in all walks of life.
Therefore, if Zhuang Jianye is forced to engage in the core machine, let alone other things, a series of uncontrollable changes after breaking the existing production links will make Zhuang Jianye's head explode.
Production process, equipment matching, management mode, and whether the most important cadres and workers' Union will lose their jobs, then the follow-up resettlement, re establishment of production process, adjustment of equipment matching, and so on, are all troubles that make people crazy.
Then there is the uncontrollable performance of the product, which makes people crazy.
This is also why, in recent years, the take-off factory has been growing step by step, but Zhuang Jianye has always maintained the status quo in the field of aviation power. He basically does not participate in specific affairs except throwing a lot of money.
There's no way. It's a place where the self structure is generated and the work is done slowly. A decision-making is pleasant, but the follow-up impact is incalculable.
Therefore, how to adjust in order not to affect the production and enthusiasm of the aviation power department, but also to achieve the transfer of the core business is what Zhuang Jianye has been considering. This is why he has to settle this problem after he has established his foothold in the two pillar businesses.
Because in this way, we will have more resources in our hands, more focus, more room for maneuver, and the impact on the aviation power department will be minimized.
As a result, Zhuang Jianye racked his brains to figure out that the briefing submitted by Tengfei jet power office at that time solved all the problems of Zhuang Jianye at once.
Cells are ready to innovate and mutate themselves to generate a more viable self consistent architecture. There's nothing to say. Just provide nutrients directly.
Therefore, the then Tengfei jet power office, with full reference to the two American gas turbine power plants and the achievements of the actual research and development of D-20 and D-30, proposed a small core engine with 4 kg / s air exchange flow, 6 compressor pressure ratio, 1200 Kelvin (about 926 ℃), 1 turbine stage and 1 MW cycle power .
The model is hx-4-1 core machine.
Among them, HX is the first letter of Pinyin, 4 is the ventilation flow value, and the last 1 is the cycle power.
Zhuang Jianye just scanned the technical proposal submitted by the aviation power department several times, and then approved the project with a stroke of his pen. Not only that, but also he tilted towards the project in terms of funds. In a word, as long as the hx-4-1 core machine can be obtained, Zhuang Jianye, the general manager, will be allowed to wear women's clothes. This morning, Mr People who don't know what a face is won't frown.
There is no way. The hx-4-1 core machine is too important. Although the whole index is not brilliant, if the hx-4-1 core machine is equipped with different fans, low pressure turbines, afterburner, or reduction gearbox, generator set or even transmission system, all kinds of gas turbine power plants with certain thrust and power can be covered with low risk .Among them, the thrust of the turbojet engine based on hx-4-1 core engine without afterburner can reach 150 to 200 kg, and that of the turbofan engine without afterburner can reach 400 to 1000 kg.
If the afterburner is equipped with a double rotor structure of high and low pressure turbine, or if the bypass ratio is large, the thrust of the engine will be close to 2000 kg.
Of course, if it is replaced by a reduction gearbox, a generator set or even a transmission system, the 1 MW cycle power will be enough to cover the needs of most of the various turboshafts, Turbopropellers and small gas turbines within 1400 horsepower.
In this way, Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation will have a great initiative in the power of a series of key equipment and platforms, such as UAVs, missiles, cruise missiles, small business aircraft, business aircraft, trainer aircraft, small helicopters, small power generation devices, and even new generation tanks and armored vehicles.
Whether it is to make deep improvement on the existing UAV, or to expand business into the missile field, or to expand towards business aircraft and business aircraft platforms, or even to compete with the power of traditional tanks and armored vehicles, Tengfei aviation manufacturing corporation is really not able to do it, but whether it wants to do it or not.
I don't want you to feel, I want me to feel.
With hx-4-1 core aircraft in hand, Tengfei aviation manufacturing corporation can really say this without scruple in the field of small aviation power.
Of course, it will take some time to achieve this goal. However, with the development of hx-4-1 core engine, the d-40 gas turbine power plant, which was not developed very fast, suddenly became very fast.
Because the d-40 gas turbine power plant is constantly drawing on the technical achievements of hx-4-1 core aircraft, many problems are solved. This is also the reason why the operation 6 of Tengfei aviation manufacturing corporation is still favored by the military even if it uses foreign engines.
