Chapter 995: The Goal Is Here
readx;?“ In addition to the D-18TM engine, we will also introduce Rolls-Royce's RB-211 engine as the power system for short- and medium-range wide-body airliners, and will also have United Aero Engines to develop our own ultra-thrust and large-bypass ratio turbofan, which means that our wide-body airliner will also have three different powertrain options. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
A passenger aircraft plans three different power systems, which is also standard in the development of civil aviation airliners in the new era, Boeing 777 is the existence of this precedent, and now the wide-body passenger aircraft in the southwest of China Aviation is just a small imitator later, not to mention that in actual use, in fact, it is not as advertised that there will really be three engines to choose from, and it is really good to be able to have two engines for civil aviation companies to choose at the same time.
Kinchenko knew very early that AVIC Southwest would develop according to the existing model, wide-body passenger aircraft, and ultra-large thrust turbofan engines, but he never thought that the development of the engine would come so fast, which was completely beyond Kinchenko's imagination, for example, now the aircraft have been pre-researched for a long time, and at this time they began to plan to develop a new engine in China, and it is completely impossible to install it in time!
What's more, the development of the super-large bypass turbofan engine is not simple, and the United Aero Engine Company has no experience in this area at all, and there is no corresponding basic supporting facilities, so it is impossible to easily complete the development, finalization and delivery according to the time node, such an engine is definitely not optimistic.
"If the company wants to develop a super-thrust turbofan engine by itself, it is indeed necessary to have it in principle, but from the technical and market aspects, it is not a simple matter to develop a super-thrust turbofan engine alone, and it is completely impossible for the engine to catch up with the development of the aircraft in terms of schedule."
The engine can't catch up with the development of the aircraft, which is not a big problem in Yang Hui's view, and the original self-developed engine is not intended to be used for short- and medium-range wide-body passenger aircraft.
"It's okay, in fact, the United Aero Engine Company originally did not plan to catch up with the development of passenger aircraft, nor did it plan to develop a 26-ton engine, according to the plan, the company actually planned to develop a super-large bypass ratio turbofan engine with a thrust between 28-40 tons, so the target this time is not RB-211, but the RB-211's overhauled Ruida series engine, or simply aimed at the GE-90 engine."
After saying this, Yang Hui himself is also infinitely emotional, this before and after more than ten years of time has passed in a flash, the entire republic's civil aviation engine industry is also under the continuous influence of Yang Hui, gradually developing in the direction of greater thrust, although it is not clear whether the future super-thrust turbofan engine can be successfully developed, but now it is finally beginning to set off towards the goal, and this is already a earth-shaking change.
As for when this series of engines can be released in kind, and complete the finalization and delivery, even Yang Hui actually has no bottom in this regard, maybe it can be delivered to the cargo plane before 2010 as planned, and it is also possible that there will be major technical problems in the development, which will eventually lead to a delay in the schedule.
But only after hard work, it is possible to know where there are still defects, which is one of the reasons why Yang Hui supports the engine to be launched: "Our engine is positioned in Ruida, GE-90 level, how can it seem that some goals are set a little too far, considering that this is the development trend required by the future wide-body passenger aircraft, and the development of civil aviation engines is not to fill any gaps, but to meet difficulties according to the needs of the market." Now we actually know that the development of this series of engines will be difficult, but we have to grit our teeth and persevere. ”
Being able to say so much news to Kinchenko at one time, Yang Hui on the one hand explained why he did not cooperate with the Antonov Design Bureau, and more importantly, he was actually showing Kinchenko a meaning: AVIC Southwest is now investing heavily in the field of wide-body passenger aircraft, which is even a big bet comparable to Boeing's 747 project, which requires all kinds of useful manpower and material resources for wide-body passenger aircraft.
And when these meanings are expressed in place, Yang Hui's fox tail is almost exposed, and this time Kinchenko can help the Antonov Design Bureau to match, which also shows that he still has a lot of contacts with the Antonov Design Bureau, and such a good opportunity must not be missed.
The topic instantly turned to another place: "Therefore, the company's wide-body passenger aircraft project has been launched, and now since the projects of the Antonov Design Bureau are constantly being launched, and you should also know the reasons, so I said that the Antonov Design Bureau has no future, and now you, as the middle and senior management of the design bureau, have every reason to find a way out for those scientific research and designers who are still struggling in the Antonov Design Bureau, at least after the An-218 is dismounted, The researchers who worked on the development of the wide-body airliner in the design bureau will soon have no scientific research projects. ”
Anyway, the discontinuation of the An-218 project is inevitable, and the Antonov Design Bureau is now sunset.
In fact, the republic of this plane has performed very well in the aviation manufacturing industry, so it can also attract and retain some talents, but with the spread of various businesses in the southwest of China, the talents trained in China every year are far from enough, and the development of wide-body passenger aircraft is also a smear for the southwest of AVIC, to have the participation of technical personnel of the Antonov Design Bureau, more or less should also play a certain role, after all, people are able to develop the existence of a giant at the level of Antonov, Definitely two brushes on the design of the aircraft.
Of course, Kinchenko was also struggling mentally at this time, whether to call his old friends and old subordinates from the Antonov Design Bureau together, this question involves many aspects, and if the work here is not suitable in the future, it will be more troublesome at that time, but when he thinks of the current situation on the side of the Security Bureau that his old friends wrote to him before, he had to make up his mind.
He also pinched the letter in his hand fiercely, and made up his mind: "Okay, I'll go and contact those old friends of the Antonov Design Bureau, and try to try to let them all join AVIC Southwest, so that they can participate in the development of the company's wide-body passenger aircraft project at that time." ”
