The problem is that if we want to achieve this goal, a VTOL Fighter Based on the r-79-300 turbofan engine can not meet the demand at all. This is like making the Harrier fight the F-18 in air combat. It's not fighting at all, it's just delivering food to people.
What's more, in a few years, the intervening force we will face will not be the F-18, but the f-35c capable of catapult takeoff and the F-35B capable of short-range takeoff.
Therefore, in the long run, we should make great efforts to make an aeroengine with realistic needs, which is more practical. Even if the investment is large and the time is long, at least the things that come out will not be as embarrassing as the yak-38 in the Soviet era.
Of course, it's impossible for Zhuang Jianye to give such a detailed introduction to VTOL verification aircraft. Let alone the configuration of two large fleet aircraft carriers and three amphibious attack ships, but by the middle of the 21st century, Zhuang Jianye's long-term goal of the whole navy has been arranged at such a time. The Navy has no idea. The headquarters and other services and arms are about to tremble.
There's no way. Compared with the air force, the navy is the real gold gobbler. Not to mention the cost of building a warship, but the cost of supporting many shipborne weapons is not small. As for future repair, maintenance and personnel training, it's even more difficult to count, which may not be able to form combat capability in a short time.
Otherwise, there would be no such thing as a century old navy.
Therefore, the basic structure introduced by Zhuang Jianye is actually based on the concept of strategic delivery ship, which is widely accepted at this stage. But just because of this, the vision mentioned by Zhuang Jianye has scratched the itch of almost all the naval commanders and leaders present.
We should know that the cost of the concept of strategic ship drop is not high. At the same time, we should take into account the operational efficiency of the aircraft carrier. Even if there are only 20 fixed wing aircraft on board, it is not as good as an aviation corps on a super aircraft carrier of a foreign power, and there are no early warning aircraft, antisubmarine aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft and other supporting aircraft, so the combat effectiveness is not comparable.
Even so, in today's Navy's vision, the strategic delivery ship carrying VTOL fighters is enough to carry out effective sea and air blockade and air raid in the southwest of an island, and even cooperate with the landing forces to carry out two habitat landing operations in the southwest when necessary, forming a north-south attack with the main forces in the northern region, So as to speed up the campaign process.
It can be said that it is of great strategic significance.
As for the use of strategic delivery ships to force super carrier battle groups, the heads and leaders of the navy are not so confused. It is clear that strategic delivery ships are not real aircraft carriers after all, and it is OK to be a support. If it is hard, it is the same as delivering food. So the current response is to leave this important task to the second artillery, With the anti-ship ballistic missile it will be equipped soon, the carrier battle group of the intervention force will be unable to approach.
However, whether it is the current stage of small skilful; It is also the vision of supporting the anti intervention of the aircraft carrier formation far away, and it will be able to kill and steal home wantonly when it is near. A VTOL fighter with excellent performance will give the Navy extremely flexible operational space.
But the problem is that if we want to achieve this goal, the technical level of the aeroengines equipped with VTOL fighters must not be low, otherwise they will not be able to hold up the name of multi-purpose fighters.
The only leader of the naval aviation force who was present had realized this problem for a long time, so he talked a lot about it in Zhuang Jianye. In addition to belittling the r-79-300 turbofan engine made in Russia, he didn't say anything about the wd-64vip turbofan engine he used, even though he frowned suspiciously.
In fact, it's not only the leadership of the naval aviation, but also the leaders of the air force.
There's no way. They all went through the discussion when the take-off Department entered the special aeroengine for vertical take-off and landing fighter. Even some people personally decided that China take-off didn't have such technical ability at all, and even criticized China take-off for defrauding funds.
Today, Zhuang Jianye is obviously talking about Gu. He calls the prospect of VTOL a carrier based aircraft with infinite charm, which can take off from amphibious attack ships and serve as strategic delivery ships. It has a long-range operational radius, supersonic flight capability and excellent mess. But what level of wd-64vip turbofan engine is not mentioned.
This makes people wonder whether China's take-off has fallen into a dilemma in this respect. Wd-64vip turbofan engine is just like an embroidered pillow. Otherwise, how come there is not even a decent introduction?
Just when a group of people thought that Zhuang Jianye might be trying to face up to the military leaders and the head of the headquarters, deliberately missing his weaknesses and highlighting his strengths in order to pave the way for the obvious demand for funds related to VTOL, Zhuang Jianye, carrying a group of Army leaders and leaders to leave workshop 5 and return to the hangar, suddenly put forward a puzzling suggestion: "heads, leaders, The next stage of the exhibition involves a relatively high level, so I hope the comrades of the accompanying army media can turn off their shooting equipment. "
A few full-time military media reporters recording the military leaders were a little surprised. They looked at the military leaders blankly with cameras in their hands, but the military leaders waved their hands indifferently.
A few reporters quickly left the hangar with equipment, and the door of the standby hangar was closed again. Only a group of big men in the army and a few senior executives of China's take-off were left inside. Then Zhuang Jianye said slowly: "it is estimated that many leaders and leaders are asking, since our VTOL fighters are so high-end in performance, what kind of aeroengine are they using? Or what is the level of our wd-64vip turbofan
After a pause, Zhuang Jianye found that the scene was surprisingly quiet, and he was obviously waiting for his next answer. So Zhuang Jianye said, "now I can be proud to announce that the level of our wd-64vip turbofan engine is completely at the advanced level in the world, Because we have applied the most advanced technology concept variable cycle in wd-64vip turbofan engine
As soon as Zhuang Jianye waved his hand, several on-site senior executives of China take-off and landing test machine opened the engine compartment, and immediately screwed a few bolts to remove the wd-64vip turbofan engine. Then they pulled the engine special cart to a kind of army chief and leader, and picked up the special tool to open the gearbox, Reveal the details inside.
One of the most striking is the front fan blade; The compressor is integrated together, but the blade is also like the fan blade device and the valve shielding device between the two fans obviously divide the engine shout into two parts.
An army chief who knew a lot about aviation engine just looked at it and exclaimed: "two streams ~ ~ ~ variable cycle ~ ~ ~ this is really a variable cycle engine..."
