Chapter 708: Continue to dig into the corners

Of course not, the Ivchenko Design Bureau can be regarded as having done all kinds of aircraft engines, and since it is settled in Ukraine, it is natural to have various origins with the Antonov Design Bureau, when the early Antonov Design Bureau designed the An-12 (Y-8) and An-24 (Y-7), the Yvchenko Design Bureau was fully equipped with the turbo engines used in these two aircraft: AN-20 and AN-24.

When these two engines arrived in the Republic, they became the turbo 6 series engines being produced by Factory 331, and the turbo 5 engines that Factory 331 had previously transferred to Dongan Power. So the turboshaft engine of the republic is completely on the route of the Ivchenko Design Bureau.

Counting the calculations, there are two more days, and it will be December 25, the day of the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Ivchenko Design Bureau, which has been laid out for many years, can almost do it, and when the time comes, the turbo engine design team of the Ivchenko Design Bureau will be pulled directly to the side of the 608 Institute, and continue to continuously improve the design on the basis of the turbo 6, anyway, the turbo 6 is also an imitation of their AN-20 engine, which can be used quickly.

Saying so many turbo engines, it seems that they have nothing to do with turboshaft engines, but it must be known that in the early people's cognition, turboshaft engines are a kind of turboshaft engines, and there is not much difference between them.

Moreover, the Ivchenko Design Bureau has not designed turboshaft engines, and its experience is still unusually rich, and the turboshaft engines designed are also the best in the world.

The D-136 turboshaft engine is finally awesome enough, this is the turboshaft engine improved by the Ivchenko Design Bureau on the basis of the core engine of the D-36 turbofan engine, and the installed object is the supergiant of the helicopter industry: the Mi-26 Halo heavy helicopter.

That's right, since the Ivchenko Design Bureau was able to design such an awesome D-136 turboshaft engine stage, this proves that the Ivchenko Design Bureau is absolutely technically excellent, and it must be quite rich in experience.

The D-136 engine is the best in the world, with an unrivalled output of 10,000 horsepower, which can be considered a very sensitive technology.

Well, we don't want this engine, anyway, the Republic does not plan to develop a super-heavy helicopter like the Mi-26, although there is a demand for that thing and a market, but the market is not too big, that is, some special fields will use such aircraft, there is a big guy like the Mi-26 in front of the few markets in the world have occupied, and naturally there is no need to develop a helicopter of the same level.

On the contrary, when the time comes, the turboshaft design team of the Ivchenko Design Bureau will be brought over to assist the Republic in completing the design of the new turboshaft, and it will be possible for the new turboshaft engine to reach 2,500 horsepower, and only such an output can be worthy of the engine length of 1.5 meters.

Good guys, the new turboshaft here was originally expected to be used for 10-ton general-purpose helicopters, in order to consider the plateau take-off and landing, so the maximum output of 2200 horsepower was planned, if it is used in the plain or simply the navy, it is already a proper way to make the new general-purpose helicopter reach a maximum take-off weight of 12 tons, and it is not a dream to surpass the Black Hawk!

If the engine power is really designed to 2,500 horsepower with the help of the Ivchenko Design Bureau, this has already reached the power level of the early CH-47 Chinook helicopter in the United States, and such a power output is too rich and completely unnecessary.

Therefore, the new turboshaft must control the power at the position of 2200 horsepower, the big deal is that the power-to-weight ratio of the engine is lower, but the index to measure the quality of an engine is not necessarily the power-to-weight ratio, and other factors such as reliability, life, and maintainability are very important factors.

After the introduction of the Ivchenko Design Bureau, if the power of the engine can be designed to 2500 horsepower, then Yang Hui is more willing to sacrifice this 300 horsepower in exchange for longer engine life, maintenance, and most importantly, reliability.

"Now that this engine has been decided as our future general helicopter power system, we can further design this pre-research model after we go back, don't you still have a turboshaft 8 engine in cooperation with France? The French turboshaft engine is still quite good, especially in terms of reliability, life and maintainability, and it is better to digest and absorb French technology, and the comprehensive performance of the new turboshaft will be better in the future. ”

The aero engine of the new era can not be limited to just the power of this index, only the engine with excellent comprehensive performance can win comprehensively, which is the excellent power system required by the new generation of helicopters, and when the time comes, whether it is military or civilian, such an engine can have a good performance.

"We also plan to do so, now the turboshaft engines produced in China are of French origin, and we are now focusing on digesting and absorbing the software provided by France, and learning these is the most useful, I believe that the new turboshaft engine will be able to have a very good performance."

Since it is a new turboshaft engine, and to the company's internal research and development, a new problem is in front of us, what should this engine be called, because there is no military project, the code name of the turboshaft X must not be, and I feel that there is only one name suitable for use now.

"The new turboshaft engine, although there is no national project, still has to have a number. I think it's called: MZ-2200 engine, now the head office has an internal project, then give it a civilian code name to use first, meaning: civilian turboshaft engine, power of 2200 horsepower. ”

Such a number is not bad, and the naming of the previous MS-4 engine follows the same principle, which will also be conducive to development in the future. The main thing is to number the engine in this way, and the rest of the people will not have any objections at all, anyway, they are all according to the old rules, and no one can say anything more.

As for whether to tell 608 and 331 about the Ivchenko Design Bureau, it's simple, it's definitely necessary.

"By the way, this MZ-2200 engine project, your current technical team and R&D experience must still be a little insufficient, and it just so happens that you don't have personnel from the Ivchenko Design Bureau there to help make the MS-4 engine! When you go back, you will tell me that we need to recruit turboshaft engine designers, and ask them to contact the Ukrainian side to see if they can recruit some turboshaft engine designers from the Ivchenko Design Bureau. ”

Although Yang Hui is ready to directly put the Ivchenko Design Bureau in a pot, it is definitely not enough to dig the foot of the wall here, but also to have the information sent back by those technicians who came out of the Ivchenko Design Bureau before, stating the situation here, and it is really possible to succeed after comparing the two.

The ancestors have all said that they must attack the heart! (To be continued.) )
