Chapter 1112

The 3000 kW turboshaft engine can be regarded as the top in the world, because only the United States and the former Soviet Union have the research and production capacity in this field.

For example, the t64 high-power turboshaft engine equipped by the United States for the ch-53h "super stallion" heavy-duty helicopter, the latest improved limit emergency power can reach 3827 kW, 5203 shaft horsepower, based on which, the ch-53h "super stallion" heavy-duty helicopter has the reputation of running across the world.

There is another CH-47D "chinugan" heavy helicopter in the United States, the t55 high-power turboshaft engine. Its maximum power is slightly weaker than t64 high-power turboshaft engine, but it also reaches 3629 kW and 4934 shaft horsepower. Although it is not as powerful as the ch-53h "super stallion" heavy helicopter, it is still the magnificent frog of 101 air assault division in the war between the sea and the nature Leap forward.

There are not as many kinds of heavy helicopters in Russia as there are in the United States. There is only one Mi-26, but this one alone surpasses all. After all, as the largest helicopter in the world, the Mi-26 is worthy of being the leader in the helicopter field on this planet.

The d-136 high-power turboshaft engine fully embodies the aesthetics of fighting ethnic violence. Its maximum power reaches an amazing 8500 kW and 11556 shaft horsepower, which endows the m-26 with a load capacity comparable to that of medium-sized transport aircraft, reaching an amazing 20 tons.

In addition to the above three kinds of turboshaft engines, there are almost no high-power engines of 3000 kW or above, even in Europe.

It's not that Europeans don't want to have a 3000 kW turboshaft engine. The key is that turboshaft engines are as experienced as helicopters.

If we can't continue to research and grope in this field, let off a little, it will be very difficult to pick it up.

There is no lack of technology and talents in Europe. If we want to do it in a down-to-earth way, there is still hope for a 3000 kW high-power turboshaft engine.

The key is that the Europeans feel that they have to work so hard. It's not only a waste of energy, but also a waste of money and time. Since the Americans don't feel troublesome and have to compete with the Soviet Union, let the elder brother of the United States get it right and use it.

It's better to invest more energy and money in people's livelihood and welfare to benefit our own votes.

So during the cold war, Germany and Britain simply gave up the heavy helicopter and imported CH-53 "super stallion" and CH-47 "zhinugan" from the United States.

During the cold war, the United States was still particular about it. Seeing that the two younger brothers were so knowledgeable, they not only offered a very favorable transfer price, but also agreed to open two assembly plants for t55 and t64 high-power turboshaft engines in Britain and Germany to produce and assemble these two high-power turboshaft engines by means of production licenses.

So that the UK and Germany have "independent production" of 3000 kW high-power turboshaft engines in a short time.

It's an extra benefit for two little brothers.

In this regard, the French are all kinds of dissatisfaction. They want to lead Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and other countries to develop their own heavy-duty helicopters. However, without Germany as the economic core, Britain as an aero-engine expert, France can hardly support itself. In addition, France has to rely on American suppliers for many of its aero-engine core materials and equipment, and the French are shouting slogans For several years, however, even a substantive plan could not be worked out, and in the end, nothing could be done.

Such a delay is 15 or 6 years. While the cold war is over, European integration is accelerating, and the European community is evolving towards the European Union, the economy is rising rapidly. With money, it will be hard. Now we want to match what we didn't have before. Otherwise, the card will be low?

As a result, a huge helicopter R & D plan was formulated, including heavy helicopters and their 3000 kW turboshaft engines.

As a result, the decision makers happily took out the plan and asked the relevant experts, only to find out how naive their ideas were.

For so many years, the t55 and t64 high-power turboshaft engines in the United States have never stopped improving and upgrading. In more than ten years, a large number of patents have been formed and a strong patent barrier has been built.

However, for a long time in the past, Europe relied heavily on American products and equipment, and its usage was good. It was hard to avoid the patent barriers of the United States if it wanted to make its own products.

The most important thing is that there is no professional team suitable for developing high-power turboshaft engines in Europe.

Without talent, the equipment depends on the United States, and we have to face patent barriers. How can we build this 3000 kW turboshaft engine?

Looking for Russia?

Forget it, now it's time to take advantage of Mao bear's disease and kill Mao bear. How can we ask them for help? Europe is impossible now, not in this life.

So what?

When Europe was in a dilemma, the British resolutely threw themselves into the arms of their American father.

Some people took the lead, and the younger brothers from Holland, Belgium and Italy rushed to vote in the past. At last, only France and Germany were embarrassed to stay under the banner of European independence, feeling the cold and lonely wind at a loss.This is the situation in Europe, let alone other countries.

Basically, one can't be regarded as a crotch, including domestic.

There's no way. Turboshaft engines, especially the 3000 kW turboshaft engines, need a long time of research and investment. It's not only the technicians who have to endure loneliness, but also the competent authorities and even the country. After all, not everyone can survive the cycle of flowering and fruiting, which lasts for more than 10 to 20 years.

What's more, massive capital investment is needed behind this. Otherwise, do you really expect scientific researchers to be hungry and always love to generate electricity?

Because of this, only large enterprises and organizations can play 3000 kW turboshaft engine.

Fortunately, Tengfei group is such a big enterprise. Not only that, all levels of Tengfei group have the spirit of enduring loneliness.

Therefore, although Tengfei group did not start as early as other domestic manufacturers in the field of turboshaft engine, it continued to do so as usual. Starting from the initial d-30z low-power turboshaft engine, Tengfei group began to work on turboshaft engine.

From the d-30z prototype which knows the basic situation of turboshaft engine, to the mature wd-30z turboshaft engine, from the further finalization of wd-40z, to the successful production of wd-43z on zhi-12, from the wd-45z equipped with zhi-15 to the wd-63z high-power turboshaft engine on zhi-8plus.

In the aspect of turboshaft engine, Tengfei group can be described as one step at a time. Even if the turboshaft engines such as wd-30z, wd-40z and wd-45z have not achieved good sales performance and model equipment, Tengfei group still has not given up its research and development in this field, and has been applying its latest technology and achievements in the field of aeroengine to turboshaft engine It's on.

So that existing models can continue to evolve and mature in continuous improvement.

Therefore, there is no flexible shortcut to the success of Tengfei group, only silly insistence!
