It is no wonder that the Song Long March is like this, and the turboprop engines currently equipped with the An-26 and Y-8 are equipped with the Navy have an average fuel consumption rate of more than 0453 kg/kWh.

This is still the normal level at the economic speed of the two aircraft, if it is a special mission to run wildly with the maximum throttle regardless of fuel consumption, the fuel consumption rate will be higher.

None of the turboprop engines of Tengfei Aviation Power have a fuel consumption rate of more than 0308 kg \ kW per hour, and the fuel consumption rate of the turboprop engines equipped on the Bi'an-26 and Yun 8 has been reduced by 014 kg \ kW per hour.

That's more than 30 percent.

To know that the fuel consumption rate of the engine is an important indicator of fuel saving, the lower the value, the smaller the amount of fuel consumption per unit of evidence, reduce the fuel consumption rate of 30, but it is terrible, which means that in the case of equal fuel, the flight platform of the turboprop engine using Tengfei aviation power will have more than 30 more range.

And this is still only a single unit, double shots, four shots, this data will be doubled.

Take the An-26 in the hands of the Navy as an example, the average range is about 1,600 kilometers, if the fuel consumption rate of each engine is reduced by 30, two is 60, in the case of inconvenient fuel tanks, after replacing the turboprop engine of Tengfei aviation power, the range of the An-26 has increased from the original 1,600 kilometers to 2,560 kilometers.

2,560 kilometers, which is 1,200 kilometers when converted into half, is enough to take off from the East China coastal airfield to carry out reconnaissance and patrol missions in the Yellow Sea or the East China Sea.

Even in the vast South China Sea, there is also a lot to be done, and you must know that the data calculated by the equipment is the average range, in other words, the range data of the An-26 oil load reaches a certain level, and if it is reasonably configured according to the mission, the range will be further improved.

If we cooperate with the field airfield to be built on Woody Island, the use of the twin-engine lightweight An-26 to patrol the South China Sea is really not something that can only be imagined in a dream.

This is not like a peerless master who has been hit in the soft underbelly for the navy, and he really doesn't even resist at all, and he can't wait to go back with the turboprop engine of take-off aviation power in the next second and replace it with his An-26.

There is no way, now the navy is very short of special offshore platforms, if not, it is impossible to transport 8 as soon as it is finalized, the navy will rush to take it over and convert it into a maritime patrol aircraft.

However, the overall performance of the Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft has nothing to say, basically meeting the needs of the Navy, but the number is too small, and the operating cost is too high, after all, it is a medium-sized transport aircraft platform modification, four-engine structure, and the fuel cost of using it once is a big number.

Therefore, the Navy urgently needs a cheap, efficient and relatively low-cost light aviation platform as a supplement to the Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft to perform more frequent maritime patrols, ship formation relay communications, anti-ship missile relay guidance and even preliminary maritime early warning and other support combat missions.

It stands to reason that the An-26 of the naval equipment or the Y-7 that has just been finalized every two years is an excellent choice in this regard, but it is a pity that the carrying capacity and space of the two models are good, but the range is a short board, and it is the maximum range of more than 1,000 kilometers.

Of course, the Navy has not thought of other methods, such as the Wuzhi-8 "Plus" unmanned aerial system equipped with the Air Force Surveying and Mapping Group.

The problem is that the Wuzhen-8 "Plus" UAV system can be turned around on land, but when it reaches the sea, it is a bit like a headless fly, with all kinds of failures.

The reason is very simple, the core of the Wuzhen-8 "Plus" UAV system is based on remote control and information transmission of communication satellites, if it is in the United States, all this is not a problem, because the United States has dozens of military communication satellites alone, plus a series of commercial communication satellites There are hundreds, covering the ball, so their bullet A Although the platform performance is average, it is the only UAV in the world that can fly the ball.

There are only a few Dongfanghong series communications satellites, plus a few leased international communications satellites, which will be able to cover the land territory, but the sea will not be enough.

Therefore, the Wuzhen-8 is alive and well on land, and when it comes to the sea, it is not adapted to all kinds of water and soil, and the limitations of maritime combat UAVs are still too large, so the navy still prefers a light and long-range multi-purpose flight platform.

It's a pity that similar platforms in China can't meet the requirements of the Navy, and the foreign ones are so expensive that they are outrageous, so this matter was helplessly dragged down by the Navy.

I thought that this matter would have to enter the nineties to make a turnaround, but I didn't expect that this time I would see hope for the Tengfei Aviation Power Investigation, and the turboprop engine that can reduce fuel consumption by 30 is simply a pie smashed from the sky.

The fifteen An-26 planes in the hands of the navy do not need to do anything, and they can directly replace them with D-series turboprop engines that take off aviation power, and the range can be increased by more than 50.

What advanced materials, what 5,000 kilometers of advanced light transport platform is not important, the one that can solve the current naval dilemma is the most urgent, so without waiting to read it, Li Fang looked up at Qian Qiang excitedly, and asked with a look of hope, "Qian Gong, can you give me a copy of the specific information of the three turboprop engines you made above, I want to go to the capital immediately, and I want the leaders of the Navy Headquarters to make a special report." ”

Saying that, he turned his head to look at Zhuang Jianye, "Mr. Zhuang, since you can produce the Yun-6, the aircraft manufacturing technology should be very good, if you can, I hope you can send some experts to the Navy to check the Xia'an-26 model, if you can, the Navy is very willing to replace the D series engine produced by you." ”

Is this to get the Ascendas Aviation Corporation to modify the Navy An-26?

Zhuang Jianye's mind flashed this sentence in an instant, but before he could answer, Song Changzheng added, "By the way, the quotations of several of your turboprop engines have been reported, oh, by the way, and D-50, also report them together, so that the superior leaders can also make a co-ordination." ”

......Zhuang Jianye hesitated, but Director Zhao next to him took the lead again, "Carbon fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites, you form a detailed report here, oh, the other materials also make a copy each, and strive to report it next week." ”

After speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate, and finally frowned and added, "Forget it, why don't you come to the capital next week and report to the head of the headquarters with me." ”
