Yes, aeroengine is all about foundation and patience. There's no way. It's because aeroengine has no shortcut.
So this thing is in no hurry at all. We can only take it step by step. It's not too much to describe it as the long march.
Even with the help of external buffs, they may be able to surpass for a while, but they can't go on for a long time. In the end, they have to brush up the basic experience a little bit before they can move on.
Because of this, when the industry is in full swing toward the thrust weight ratio of more than 10 high thrust turbofan engine, Tengfei group did not participate in the cooperation, Zhuang Jianye see very clearly, with today's technical strength of Tengfei group can not reach the most cutting-edge ceiling.
Instead of earning a good reputation, it's better to arch the existing models forward steadily, accumulate more, and then it's not too late for the outbreak.
It is with this attitude that Tengfei group began with the piston engine of the UAV and quietly worked for ten years. Only then did it have the wd-52ml turbofan engine. On this basis, Zhuang Jianye is going to work for another ten or twenty years, and he has to brush up his experience.
Even if you can't see it in your life, you have to lay a solid foundation for later generations. There's no way. This is the current situation of the development of aeroengines. If you look at how Americans have changed their old aircraft models from the 1950s to the present, you should know that it's not shameful to stick to them silently.
Therefore, Zhuang Jianye completely dismisses the criticisms in the industry for the lack of enterprising spirit of Tengfei group. The enterprising spirit of Tengfei group is not as powerful as those large aviation factories that participate in high thrust engines. But he has repeatedly pointed out that which of these big aviation factories can take off pure China with a take-off weight of more than 60 tons, a load of more than 20 tons, and a transportation mission of more than 5000 kilometers What kind of jet medium transport?
No, none of them.
Some people may be sour to say that the same type of foreign jet transport aircraft use double engines, while Tengfei group uses four engines, so the economy is too poor.
Zhuang Jianye doesn't care whether the foreign twin engines are good or not, but no matter how good they are, the domestic air force can't use them. The economy of Tengfei group's four engines is worse than that of foreign countries. But whether it's military or civilian, it can be opened up completely. You don't have to look at other people's faces. This kind of transport freedom is only useful. It's absolutely the same as the relationship between men and women.
At this moment, Zheng Quanli and Wen Kai, who are located on the shooting range Island, are especially able to experience this indescribable sense of freedom. Especially when they watch the oil transportation-15 dragging a long fuel pipe behind them for the J-8 II, they really want to hum just as they have realized the relationship between men and women.
The reason for this is very simple. The focus of this landing exercise is whether the J-8 II can continue to return to the Soviet Union on the 27th, which plays a vital role in the future deployment of the headquarters in the southeast coast.
If the effect of this drill is obvious, the depth echelon configuration of the headquarters in the coastal area can continue, but if there is a gap, the deployment should be adjusted.
Several military regions, hundreds of thousands of troops, are not adjusted at the right time. Therefore, Zheng Quanli and Wen Kai are sweating over the actions in the sky.
Compared with Zheng Quanli and Wen Kai, it's Xue Weidong, the commander of the air drill, who really put his heart into his throat. Now there are only three fighters in China that can carry out long-range air missions.
One is the Su-27 imported from Russia, the other is the "Flying Leopard" of HNA, and the other is the J-8 II.
The "Flying Leopard" is a missile attack aircraft with average air combat capability, so the only ones that can carry out combat cruise and fight for air supremacy are Su-27 and J-8 II.
But the problem is that the number of Su-27s is limited, and there is no air refueling capability, and the sustained combat capability is limited. After the first round of cruise and the fight for air supremacy, they have to return to the base, and the remaining gap can only be reached by the J-8 II.
Thanks to Tengfei group's timely delivery of two oil transport-15 aerial refueling aircraft, otherwise Xue Weidong did not know how to complete the task assigned by the superior.
At that time, maybe we can only use the J-7 or even the J-6 on the top. As for the effect, only God knows.
Because of this, Xue Weidong was very nervous when he was refueling in the air. He was afraid that something might go wrong and he would screw up the drill. It doesn't matter that he would lose face internally. If he made a fool of himself abroad, he would be shameless. After all, there were a lot of "audiences" in the drill, which was the result of the deployment adjustment of the army in recent years.
To tell the truth, Xue Weidong is under a lot of pressure to deter these "audiences" or let them see jokes.
Fortunately, the performance of yunyou-15 was as stable and excellent as other products of Tengfei group. In a very short period of time, it completed the aerial refueling of six J-8 II aircraft and successfully returned as required.
After refueling in the air, the J-8 II can maintain a cruising time of nearly one hour over the range island when it is full of fuel. What should we do if there is not enough fuel after one hour?
When you transport oil-15 is this mammy a decoration? Fly over and milk again, and it's over.
In any case, one hour is enough for Su-27 to return to take over, and it is also enough for the oil-15 to run back and forth. Moreover, in order to ensure the smooth operation of this drill, another oil-15 is on standby at an airport deep in the Yangtze River Delta, ready to take off for support."Commander, are you ready for the next exercise?"
Just when Xue Weidong was still immersed in the nervousness of carrying oil-15 to refuel the J-8 II in the air, the combat Staff Officer immediately pulled it back to reality with a word. After calming down, he said, "has the target been released?"
"Not yet."
"Inform the target aircraft that it is ready to release, and at the same time order each formation to move on to the next exercise." Xue Weidong issued an order in a deep voice, and the operational staff responded decisively: "yes!"
……
"What is a big country in the East doing? "Live shooting in the air?"
Half an hour after Xue Weidong issued the next exercise order, the target plane was soon found on the octopus. Combined with the fact that six J-8 II on the range Island were hanging with live ammunition, it is self-evident that a big country in the East is preparing to carry out live ammunition shooting exercises over the range island.
This is why temel said this when he found the target plane, but his words were not affirmative sentences, but interrogative sentences, and even mixed with unexplained surprise and incomprehension.
The reason is very simple. The target plane used in the live fire drill did not fly to the best attack position of the close combat air-to-air missile, which is about 10 km away from the J-8 II formation as he expected.
Instead, he wandered about 50 kilometers and didn't move forward, which surprised temer. Does a big power in the East want to use the J-8 II to drill the attack subject of medium range air-to-air missiles?
"It seems that we are going to use the middle range, you see..."
At this time, Valentino suddenly made a sound, immediately knocked on the keyboard, and a real-time image from the reconnaissance plane was displayed on the screen. Valentino reached out and pointed to a missile under the wing of the J-8 II, with a strange look, and said a model: "r-27 medium range air-to-air missile!"
