When the Ascendas Jet Power Office, the predecessor of the Ascendas Aero Power Manufacturing Plant, reported the results of their findings and the accompanying cost control plan to Zhuang Jianye in a briefing situation.

Zhuang Jianye, who had not yet laid out in this area, was also taken aback, and did not expect that the jet power office at that time would do this.

According to Zhuang Jianye's original plan, waiting for the Tengfei factory at that time to gain a foothold in the two new transformation businesses of aviation professional equipment and manned aircraft, and after achieving some results, it will turn around to promote the transformation of the core aircraft.

In this way, the main reason is that the investment in aviation gas turbine power units is too large, and it is necessary to cultivate new business growth points when the Tengfei plant is transformed, so that there can be sufficient funds to support aviation gas turbine power units.

Secondly, I still feel that the foundation of Tengfei plant in aviation gas turbine power units is a bit thin, and it is only after making D-20 and D-30 two series of gas turbine power units, as for the more powerful D-40, the whole is not mature, even if it is added, it is only three, and the accumulation of many aspects is still very insufficient.

Therefore, Zhuang Jianye felt that it was better to use these three models to lay a solid foundation, so that there would be little resistance in guiding the transfer to the core machine, and the difficulty in capital and technology would not be too great.

In any case, based on the core engine, the derivation of different aviation gas turbine power units is not only a technological innovation, but also an all-round change in the production concept, management mode and even the follow-up strategy of the entire enterprise.

Because of this, Zhuang Jianye is still very cautious about this, after all, the aviation power department is different from other fields, it is a very continuous business department, often a model is more than ten years or even decades.

If you can maintain the continuity of the talent team, it is generally best not to interfere with their specific production and research structure, otherwise, it is easy to cause unnecessary confusion and affect the performance and quality of the product.

In other words, the entire aviation power department is like a living cell, which has its internal self-consistent structure to ensure its vitality, and at the same time, it also has a seemingly strong but very fragile cell membrane.

You can give it nutrients to keep it alive, but you need great skill to transform it, otherwise the thin cell wall will die instantly.

There are too many such cases in China, and there are countless from all walks of life.

Therefore, if Zhuang Jianye forcibly engages in the core machine, not to mention anything else, a series of uncontrollable changes after breaking the existing production links will make Zhuang Jianye's head explode.

The production process, equipment matching, management mode and the most important cadres and workers will not lose their jobs because of this, and then there is the follow-up placement, re-establishing the production process, adjusting the equipment matching, etc., each of which is enough to make people crazy trouble.

Then there is the uncontrollable performance of the product, which is even more maddening.

This is also why, over the years, the Tengfei factory has grown step by step, but Zhuang Jianye has maintained the status quo in the aviation power sector, except for throwing a lot of money, basically does not participate in specific affairs.

There is no way, it is a place where self-architecture is generated and slow work is done, and a decision is said to be happy, but the subsequent impact is immeasurable.

Therefore, how to adjust so as not to affect the production and enthusiasm of the aviation power department, but also to achieve the transfer of the core of the business, is what Zhuang Jianye has been considering, which is why he has to solve this problem after the two pillars of business have gained a firm foothold.

Because this means that you have more resources at hand, you can focus more, and at the same time, you will have more room for maneuver, and the impact on the aviation power department can be controlled to a minimum.

As a result, Zhuang Jianye racked his brains to calculate, and the briefing submitted by the Tengfei Jet Power Office at that time suddenly solved all of Zhuang Jianye's problems.

Cells are ready to innovate and mutate on their own to generate a more viable self-consistent structure, which is nothing to say, just provide nutrients directly.

Therefore, at that time, the Tengfei Jet Power Office, with full reference to the two American gas turbine power units, as well as the results achieved in the actual research and development of D-20 and D-30, proposed a small core machine with a gas exchange flow rate of 4 kilograms per second, a compressor pressure ratio of 6, a total gas temperature of 1200 Kelvin (about 926 degrees Celsius) in the combustion chamber, a turbine stage of 1, and a cycle power of 1 megawatt.

The model is tentatively HX-4-1 core machine.

Among them, HX is the core of the pinyin initials, 4 is the ventilation flow value, and the last 1 is the cycle power.

Zhuang Jianye just swept a few times the technical plan submitted by the aviation power department, and with a stroke of the pen, he happily approved the project, not only that, but also inclined to this project in terms of funding, all in all, the aviation power department is to give what to give, as long as the HX-4-1 core machine can be brought out, it is to let Zhuang Jianye, the general manager, wear women's clothes, this guy who has long not known what the face is will not frown.

No way, it is really too important for the HX-4-1 core machine, don't look at the whole index is not outstanding, but if the HX-4-1 core machine is equipped with different fans, low-pressure turbines, afterburners, or reduction gearboxes, generator sets and even transmission systems, you can cover all kinds of gas turbine power units with a certain thrust and power with a lower risk.

Among them, the turbojet engine based on the HX-4-1 core engine can reach 150 to 200 kg of thrust, and if it is a turbofan engine without afterburner, the thrust will reach 400 to 1000 kg.

In the case of a twin-rotor structure with afterburner and a high- and low-pressure turbine, or a twin-rotor structure with a large bypass ratio, the thrust of the engine is close to 2,000 kg.

Of course, if you replace it with a reduction gearbox, generator set or even a transmission system, 1 megawatt of cycle power is enough to cover most of the needs of various turboshafts, turboprops, and small gas turbines within 1400 horsepower.

In this way, Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation will have a great initiative in the power of a series of key equipment and platforms such as unmanned aerial vehicles, missiles, cruise missiles, small business jets, business jets, training aircraft, small helicopters, small power generation units, and even a new generation of tank armored vehicles.

Whether it is to make in-depth improvements on existing UAVs, or to expand business into the field of missiles, or to expand to business jets and business jet platforms, or even to compete with traditional tank armored vehicle power, Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation is really not whether it can do it, but whether it wants to do it.

I don't want you to think, I want me to feel.

Holding the HX-4-1 core aircraft, Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation can really say this without scruples in the field of small aviation power.

Of course, it will take some time to achieve this goal, but with the advancement of the HX-4-1 core engine, the D-40 gas turbine power unit, which was not progressing very quickly, has suddenly become very fast.

Because the D-40 gas turbine power unit is constantly absorbing the technical achievements of the HX-4-1 core aircraft, many problems have been solved, which is why the Yun-6 of Tengfei Aviation Manufacturing Corporation still makes the military favored even if it uses foreign engines.
