Chapter 1170 Are the Chinese Going to Ruin the Situation?

The publicity department of Aviation Power Group acted quickly.

Just two days later, an article signed by "Chang Gong" was published on the China Aviation Newspaper issued on Friday -

"The East is bright when the West is not bright - my country's first large bypass ratio turbofan engine completes the first phase of testing"

On the surface, this seems to be just an ordinary achievement publicity report.

Not only did it not even mention the specific model.

And the term "first phase of testing" is also very vague, and there is no unified standard at all.

You can only guess the meaning between the lines.

So under normal circumstances, except for internal peers and some enthusiasts who are interested in this field, almost no one will pay special attention to this kind of report.

However, the situation this time is different.

Conventional content such as "building cross-century leading equipment, conducting in-depth cutting-edge scientific and technological research, boldly innovating design theoretical systems, and comprehensively conquering key core technologies..." and "achieving a series of major breakthroughs, realizing a fundamental change in the development method, and a generational leap in product level..." is of course indispensable.

But in the second half of the report, the author changed his tone and devoted nearly one-third of the article to discussing what characteristics the next generation of aviation power should have.

The first thing mentioned was that the emission data released by the United States at the launch meeting of the IPCC assessment was questioned, which led to the increasingly urgent pressure for humans to reduce emissions-

"As a member of the human race, we certainly hope that this is just a beautiful misunderstanding, but considering that the United States has not yet given a reasonable explanation for this matter, and has deleted the atmospheric infrared spectrum that has been published in the past on its Environmental Protection Agency's official website, we have to start considering the possibility that this accusation is true.

If it is assumed that since the signing of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1992, the United States has concealed 30% of its domestic carbon emissions from the public every year, it means that up to now, about 40 billion tons of additional carbon dioxide have entered the atmosphere, which will undoubtedly further increase the difficulty of curbing global climate change.

Although the responsibility for excessive emissions is undoubtedly on the United States side, the urgency of mitigating climate change is All mankind must face it together. According to the calculation of ICAO, the annual average carbon emissions of aviation/maritime transport and related industries in the world are at the level of 2 billion tons, and will gradually increase with the increase of global trade volume.

Obviously, the CAEP4 emission standards formulated by the Aviation Environmental Protection Committee can no longer meet the current pressure of emission reduction. Therefore, we are considering revising the new civil aviation technical standards and formulating more stringent emission restrictions in the next stage, such as requiring the cruising fuel consumption of aircraft engines and gas turbines to be reduced by 10%, the emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides to be reduced by 16% and 30%, and adding new detection requirements for carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons...

..."

In short, the four or five thousand words first stood firm on the position of the victims of climate change, and then very "generously" stated that the pit dug by the Americans needs everyone to work together to fill it, and finally stated the necessity of the shipping industry to control carbon emissions.

Whoever comes, you have to praise the pattern first.

After the announcement, Chang Haonan felt that the news was not loud enough, so he continued to report to his superiors, and finally inserted a 20-second short message into the 7 p.m. news.

Therefore, it soon attracted more attention than before...

In fact, at the beginning, most people focused on the first two-thirds of the content.

After all, it has been more than two years since the Y-9 project was launched, and many news indicate that the No. 01 prototype using imported engines may make its maiden flight in the near future.

There were even wall-climbing parties in Nanzheng area who took pictures of a yellow twin-engine transport plane parked in a factory.

By 2005, the Internet had become quite popular in China, and the chat rooms that were only accessible to a very small number of people in the early years had gradually developed into larger forums with more concentrated traffic.

So the speed at which related news spread was already incomparable.

[My uncle who works at Qinfei Group told me that this aircraft should be used to replace the Y-8. The twin-engine turbofan has a longer range, a larger payload, and is quieter than the four-engine turboprop/applause//applause/]

[This yellow aircraft looks like it has two PS90As installed, so its takeoff weight should be around 70-80 tons, slightly larger than the Y-8, but it can be considered the same level. And judging from the report a few days ago, after replacing the domestic engines, the performance is expected to be further improved, which is consistent with what the original poster said/salute/]

[If you don't understand, will replacing four engines with two have some impact on reliability? And as a tactical transport aircraft, the Y-8 should still have the ability to take off and land at field airports, right? 】

【We can’t just look at the number of engines. After all, both the An-12 and the WP-6 are too backward, so even if two new turbofans are replaced, the reliability will be significantly improved. As for taking off and landing at field airports, it is not a problem at all. Even the Il-76 and C17 can do it. The key is the landing gear design rather than the engine...】

[I think this new medium-sized transport aircraft will soon make its first flight. For reference, the American C17 first flew in 1991 and entered service in 1993. It is possible that like the J-11 modification, the first batch or the first two batches will use PS90A. Subsequent batches will be replaced with domestically produced power/make fists//make fists/]

[According to general experience, it is true, but I feel that the research and development progress of domestic aviation engines has been quite fast in recent years, so it is hard to say, maybe we can catch up with the first batch of service...]

[When you mentioned this, I suddenly remembered that the author of the report in the Aviation News was named Chang Gong. Could it be that he was the vest of Academician Chang of the Aviation Power Group? 】

[I think what you said makes sense...]

【……】

Posts like this soon appeared in almost all domestic military and aviation enthusiast forums.

In this timeline, when China has fully entered the Internet era, both the Turbojet 14 and the Turbofan 10 are already quite mature models.

Moreover, it is no secret that China participates in the design and manufacturing of the M88 and SeA650 engines.

As for the "shortcomings" of domestic aviation engines, these are things that only the previous generation of military fans can clearly remember.

Therefore, everyone is generally quite optimistic about the progress of the new engine.

Many people also gave Chang Haonan a thumbs up.

However, optimism is optimism.

But most people completely miss the point.

Chang Haonan was somewhat dumbfounded.

Fortunately, there are still some people in the industry who are keenly paying attention to the key points of this report...

…

Birmingham, UK.

Tim Purdy entered Panos Watson's office with a brief in hand.

At the end of 2004, the Airbus A380 No. 1 prototype equipped with the Trent 900 was publicly unveiled and officially confirmed to make its first flight in March 2005. The latter, who was originally solely responsible for this model, was naturally promoted and became He became the deputy director of Rolls-Royce Group's entire civilian product line.

Officially became a member of the core power level of the group.

As the tide rises, other members of the same project team will naturally receive corresponding promotions.

For example, Bodie, while retaining the deputy director of the Trent 900 project, began to preside over the New Generation Medium Thrust Turbofan Engine (NGME) project, which is what Champine mentioned before and is adapted to the new generation Airbus A320. Aircraft aerodynamics.

The project team has temporarily named it Trent 300.

Of course, I just borrowed the name of this world-famous series.

If nothing else happens, the design should still start from scratch, using a relatively simpler dual-rotor structure.

There are still some differences on whether to learn from the V2500 experience.

Recently, Bodi has come to talk to Watson frequently, just to obtain more abundant resources to implement the work into the specific demonstration stage as soon as possible.

But at the moment, the decision-makers, including Watson, apparently still think Champine's warning is a bit alarmist.

With a cash cow like the V2500 on hand, the Trent 900 and the Trent 1000 engines adapted for the Boeing 787 have higher priority.

But after all, Purdy is the most important confidant of Watson, the new executive, and he also knows some ulterior secrets in the Trent 900 project.

Therefore, it is not easy for the latter to refuse the other party's request very forcefully.

Therefore, Watson felt a bit of a headache as soon as he saw Bodie appearing at the door.

Fortunately, this time, Bodie really wasn't looking for trouble.

"Panos, I'm not here to ask you for money this time. Don't put on a sad face whenever you see me..."

Without any hesitation, he pulled a chair from the side and sat across from Watson. At the same time, he placed the briefing in his hand in front of the other party:

"Come and see this."

Although Watson was a little doubtful after hearing this, he still relaxed a little:

"Thank God, you finally have something else to talk about with me..."

Then put on your glasses and pick up your briefing paper.

Above is about half a page of a newspaper.

It seems to be from China.

Of course Watson doesn’t understand Chinese, but fortunately the second page of the briefing provides a complete translation and analysis.

"New high bypass ratio turbofan engine..."

Like everyone who had just seen this report, he first paid attention to the aircraft engine model mentioned in it.

"I know this model...according to speculation, it should use the core machine of their turbofan 10, and is going to be used on military transport aircraft instead of the Russian-made PS90A."

As a professional technician, Watson has been tracking the development of his peers.

Only after my recent promotion, the frequency of attention has dropped slightly.

But Bodi shook his head directly:

"The first part is not important, look at the second half..."

Watson was stunned for a moment, and then he turned to the third page of the briefing.

"The second half..."

As a result, before even looking twice, I couldn't help but burst out laughing:

"It seems that Americans are in a very awkward situation with China on the climate issue..."

People in his position naturally know that the core of these climate and environmental protection issues are business and have nothing to do with saving the earth and saving mankind.

But don’t delay watching American jokes.

However, Watson's smile soon solidified on his face:

"I hope the new standard will reduce cruising fuel consumption by 8%? Carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions by 16% and 30%?"

Perhaps because of the dry throat, his voice was quite strange at this time.

However, Watson was no longer able to pay attention to these.

These figures almost made his eyes go black:

"The Chinese want to smash the table because they can't get a piece of the pie?"
