Chapter 360: Test run of the third turbofan engine

An aircraft factory.

In the huge aircraft assembly plant, a H-6 is in the workshop, if you look closely, this H-6 is a little different from the ordinary H-6, the difference is in the position of the engine, the engine of this H-6 is obviously a turbofan engine.

Next to the plane, two engines are being prepared for assembly, which is the turbofan 16 engine produced by Tianfeng Technology.

Obviously, this H-6 has reached the process of assembling the engine, and several assembly workers, under the command of technicians, are lifting one of the engines to assemble the engine.

The engine was hoisted up, moved slowly, and was slowly hoisted into the engine compartment, and one of the technicians in charge of the command reminded loudly while directing: "Slow down, yes, slow down, be careful." ”

The workers were apparently skilled, and one by one the engines were hoisted into the engine nacelle to begin assembling the engines.

In the distance, there are many workers who are working to see this scene, their hearts are slightly excited, everyone knows, this is the latest model of the H-6, everyone is watching this H-6 step by step assembly, and even, we also know that in the final assembly process of this H-6, there have been many big people who have seen this H-6.

"The engine is so big, it's beautiful!"

"Well, that's a turbofan engine."

"I heard that this engine is super fuel-efficient, and with two turbofan 16 engines, the range of the H-6 will be increased by three or four thousand kilometers."

"Tsk, that's amazing. The range has increased so much at once. ”

Everyone is a worker in the aircraft assembly workshop, and naturally knows the gold content of increasing the range by three or four thousand kilometers, especially for a long-range bomber.

The H-6 is not only a long-range conventional bomber. It also plays the role of a long-range strategic bomber, and has always had the problem of "short legs", and the so-called "short legs" means that the range is relatively short, which is a very serious defect for a long-range bomber.

"Look, there's a lot of people over there."

Really. Everyone looked into the distance and saw a large group of people coming to their aircraft assembly workshop, including military personnel wearing military uniforms. One of them had a gold star shining on his shoulder, apparently a general, and more than one.

On the part of the troops, they also attach great importance to this H-6. From time to time, people from the army came to inspect it. Take a look at the development process of this aircraft.

This H-6 has already entered the engine assembly process, and Minister Liu of the General Assembly, Zhang Haiping, General Staff Officer, and several military entourages, accompanied by a number of high-level officials of the aircraft factory and representatives of the military stationed in the factory, everyone is in a group. Came to the aircraft assembly workshop.

Seeing that the engine was being installed on this H-6, Minister Liu was very happy. said to Zhang Haiping next to him: "Director Zhang, the progress is quite fast. ”

Zhang Haiping said: "If it weren't for the previous series of verifications and tests, which took a lot of time, the progress would have been faster, and according to the current progress, there should be no problem in completing all the final assembly of the aircraft before the Lunar New Year and reaching the test flight state." ”

The person in charge of the aircraft factory next to him said: "Minister Liu, please rest assured, we will reach the test flight status of this H-6 as soon as possible, and after the Lunar New Year, our H-6 will carry out a series of test flights as planned." ”

Minister Liu nodded happily, and then looked at the H-6 that was still being assembled with great interest, and even boarded the cockpit of the H-6 with great interest.

After looking at it, Minister Liu said: "The plane is good, especially the engine installation position, which has changed greatly, and I am full of hope for the test flight of this aircraft." ”

Zhang Haiping is a technical cadre of the military, and he has been to this aircraft factory many times before, and he also has a good understanding of the situation of this H-6.

Zhang Haiping said: "Minister Liu, we have gone through full technical demonstration, and also invited experts and comrades from the engine manufacturing plant, this H-6 compared with the previous H-6, mainly in terms of longer range and more power. ”

Minister Liu said: "The level of our aviation industry, compared with developed countries still has a certain gap, we uphold the principle of good steel on the blade, focusing on the research and development of our fighters, bombers, relatively backward. ”

Sighing softly, Minister Liu said: "Before the premise of an excellent new bomber, we can only improve and upgrade on the basis of the H-6, and constantly modify and improve, this H-6, equipped with two turbofan 16 engines, will support our long-range bomber." ”

Will hold up a piece of the sky!

It can be seen that the military is full of hope and high hopes for the H-6 equipped with a turbofan 16 engine, and Minister Liu's words made the hearts of the people around him slightly excited, and everyone's eyes looking at this H-6 are obviously different.

………

Tianfeng Technology Company.

The development of the new H-6 is not slow, and the development progress of the "TFWS003" turbofan engine of Tianfeng Technology Company is also relatively fast.

The test engineering center, the second test workshop, on the test bench of the "TFWS003" turbofan engine, the engine is quietly there, and all preparations are ready.

The second test workshop is relatively large, with a number of test benches, including turbofan 16 engine, turbofan 17 engine, and "TFWS003" turbofan engine test bench.

Each engine has its own test bench, and there are already many people in the monitoring and control room next to the test bench of the "TFWS003" turbofan engine.

Through the thick glass, everyone can clearly see the engine on the engine test bench, many people, looking at each other, slightly excited in their eyes.

The test alarm bell rang three times!

The whole second test workshop seems to be quiet, this time, Sun Xiaoping personally acted as the commander-in-chief of the test, Sun Xiaoping said loudly: "The test starts!" ”

Hearing this, one of the test drivers gently pressed the test start button, and the engine began to rotate under the drive of the starter, and the speed became faster and faster.

The engine is slow, the engine is idling, but even if it is just idling, a strong air flow is ejected from the rear of the engine and discharged from the exhaust grid at the back of the test bench.

According to the test process, the engine starts a series of test runs, slow running state, cruising state, afterburner state and so on......

………

Li Tianfeng did not come to the test site in person, not that Li Tianfeng did not pay attention to the first verification test of this engine, but that Li Tianfeng was answering a call from Yang Xianfeng in his office.

Yang Xianfeng said: "Mr. Li, next week we will carry out the bidding meeting for outsourcing parts processing, alas, I am sorry that I did not invite you to participate." ”

At the end of each year, factory E has to carry out such a bidding meeting, and many parts have to be entrusted to outside machining enterprises for processing, and the processing cost is at least two or three hundred million, and many mechanical processing enterprises are staring at this big cake.

This time, because Duan Hongjiu had made it clear that Tianfeng Technology Company would not be invited to participate in the bidding meeting, Yang Xianfeng called to apologize.

Li Tianfeng didn't care about this matter at all, with the vigorous development of Tianfeng Technology Company, Li Tianfeng really didn't care about this small business.

So, Li Tianfeng laughed and said: "Mr. Yang, there is no need to feel guilty, it's okay, our Tianfeng Technology Company is no longer what it used to be, its own parts can't be processed, and many parts have to be entrusted to the outside for processing, it's okay, it's really okay." ”

Seeing Li Tianfeng say this, Yang Xianfeng was a little relieved.

However, Li Tianfeng still reminded: "Mr. Yang, many of the parts we used to process for you are difficult to gnaw bones, and the processing is very difficult. ”

The technological strength of factory E can not be compared with the current Tianfeng Technology Company, these parts of factory E have poor manufacturability, and there is no problem with Tianfeng Technology Company to process them, which can ensure the quality of the parts, but if they are replaced by factory E for processing, it is difficult to say.

At the beginning, it was because this part of the parts was very difficult to process, and the processing was always unqualified, so Tianfeng Technology Company was entrusted to process it.

Hearing this, Yang Xianfeng naturally knew what Li Tianfeng meant, Yang Xianfeng originally wanted to open his mouth and ask Li Tianfeng to transfer the processing process procedures of these parts back to Factory E, but after thinking about it, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, because it was basically impossible.

The processing process of these parts is all re-compiled by Tianfeng Technology Company itself, and has been continuously improved and optimized, and the processing quality of these parts can be guaranteed according to the current process regulations.

Without these process regulations, these parts are transferred back to factory E for processing, which is enough!

So, Yang Xianfeng sighed and said, "Mr. Li, it seems that it will be enough for me to be anxious for a while in the future." ”

Li Tianfeng said: "Mr. Yang, let's talk next time, our 'TFWS003' turbofan engine is being tested, I have to take a look." ”

Yang Xianfeng said with emotion: "Mr. Li, you are really fast, this engine has actually entered the test verification, and the gap between our E factory and you is getting bigger and bigger." ”

Li Tianfeng smiled, ended the call with Yang Xianfeng, drove in person, and drove straight towards the test engineering center.

As soon as Li Tianfeng heard it, he knew that this was the sound of the test run of the 'TFWS003' turbofan engine, and it was still a test run in the afterburner state.

So, Li Tianfeng sped up his speed, and quickly went towards the test engineering center, as soon as he entered the test engineering center, as soon as he got off the car, Li Tianfeng went straight to the test monitoring control room.

Today, we will continue to see three more, and the second one will be sent. (To be continued......)
