Chapter 239: Flight Conversion is also Difficult (Part I)
Not all the participants were qualified to follow the two big leaders all the way, so when Chang Haonan and the others came to the banquet hall under the leadership of the staff, most of them had been waiting here for a while.
Several comrades belonging to the Navy and Air Force quickly found their comrades-in-arms, and only Chang Haonan's people who were engaged in scientific research gathered together in twos and threes.
At this time, there was still some time before the official start of the banquet, so everyone was not in a hurry to take a seat.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Yan, did the 701 mention other design elements of the new model frigate?"
Chang Haonan is still more interested in this model, which he already knows will be stereotyped as 054 and become the new generation of main combat ships of the People's Navy.
The main thing is that it must be very different from the 054 and 054A in the previous life.
"Well, Deputy Chief Engineer Lin did say it, but I don't know much about ship design, so I just listened to it except for the part related to the power system."
Yan Zhongzhong stretched out his hand to comb his hair, and showed a slightly stiff smile:
"The plan of the 701 Institute is to have a displacement of 4,500 tons, a long bow deck, and the first three ships will directly use each of the 6 8-unit 3K95 short-range air defense systems imported from the Antai Scientific Research and Production Complex, which is said to be the same source as the 9K331 field air defense system being purchased by the army, so that the pressure on ammunition production units can also be reduced after the introduction of production lines or imitations in the future."
Obviously, after seeing the real heroes of the short-range air defense system such as the Doyle M1, neither the army nor the navy can look down on the Red Flag 7, which is copied from the sea Sidewinder.
And the corresponding localization process obviously has to start earlier than in the previous life.
That's certainly a good thing.
At least the big brother of the army, which is under a lot of pressure on air defense, does not need to wait until 2013 to finally start equipping the Red Banner 17.
Of course, whether Big Brother has enough funds to buy it is another matter.
The Navy can also obtain the derived Haihongqi 17, which provides a solid final barrier for various ships, and builds an ecological niche similar to the vertical hair ESSM in advance.
It's just that the 3K95 with a strange idea of the revolver still has to be removed and replaced with an 8-link launch box of the same model as the land-based Doyle.
However, Chang Haonan was still a little surprised by this uncoordinated configuration:
"With 48 rounds, so many?"
Although the performance of the 3K95 system is much stronger than that of the Sea Sidewinder/Sea Red Flag 7 installed on the 052 destroyer, the 9M331 missile it is adapted to is a short-range point air defense system with a range and altitude of only 12km and 6km respectively.
Unlike the more the merrier, this kind of last shield, which can only protect itself but cannot open an umbrella, does not seem to be necessary to cram in the number of 48 rounds.
What kind of scene, can the terminal interception finish so many bullets?
If there is such a big scene, it is impossible to send only one frigate over.
Of course, if this configuration is seen by the British, they will definitely cry with envy.
But if there were a few sets of similar things, it would not have been possible for people to sink and injure so many ships on the Falklands.
"According to Deputy Chief Engineer Lin, this new type of ship has reserved a modification margin for future upgrades, such as the front deck and the inside of the hull have enough space to accommodate a depth of no more than 5800 mm 3S90M or a vertical launch system with similar performance, and a total of 6 channels of anti-aircraft missile irradiation are also set up on the ship, so several more sets of launch devices are designed."
Speaking of this, Yan Zhongzhong paused, gently stroked his sideburns, and after thinking for a moment, he continued:
"Although the statement he has given publicly is so, I personally think that these explanations are far-fetched, and we sometimes do things in the aviation system to leave room for space, but there is no need to crampool all these places with that."
"The real reason may be that the frigate they made is indeed a bit large, and the full load displacement and hull size are similar to the 052 destroyer that has just been put into service, if you don't want to make the hull utilization rate a little higher, proving that it is necessary to design such a large hull space, I am afraid that there will be some resistance."
After hearing this speculation, Chang Haonan immediately remembered a program he had seen on TV in his previous life.
A well-known military commentator said that in the 80s and 90s, there was indeed a force that purposefully obstructed the development of naval equipment in the name of investing too much to affect the economy.
And in today's timeline, due to the smooth finalization of the turbojet 14, the shipbuilding industry group, which is more confident in marine power, is also more radical in the design of the new frigate, listening to Yan Zhongzhong's description, it should be a model with a better foundation and greater potential than the previous 054/054A.
Of course, there will be more resistance.
After all, in the eyes of some people at the moment, it is a "big rebellion" for your Chinese Navy to be ready to equip a model that is better than similar US ships in all aspects in terms of performance and size, even if it is just an inconspicuous frigate.
"Hmm...... If you say this, it is indeed possible, but fortunately, the two major heads of power and ship power should be able to use the subsystem produced in the country, so that the actual cost can be reduced a lot, and the opposition will be weaker. ”
Yan Zhongzhong glanced at Chang Haonan with some surprise:
"When Deputy Chief Chef Lin talked to me about this matter, his statement was almost exactly the same as yours. However, what he means is to allocate part of the foreign exchange quota that was originally expected to import key parts of diesel engines to enhance the anti-submarine system, otherwise the high speed and high quietness brought by the full-fuel power will be wasted. ”
Yes, it seems that it is indeed going to benchmark and surpass Perry in all aspects.
After briefly learning some information about the new frigate, Chang Haonan brought the topic back to Yan Zhongzhong's old business:
"701 Institute has such a bold idea, and we want a little bit of any function, which requires us a lot of power."
"It's really not low, but according to Xiaochang's previous communication with the shipbuilding industry, we have come up with a subtraction of the exhaust nozzle, the twin-rotor structure as a gas generator for the gas turbine, and then a simplified version of the design scheme of the power turbine to do technical verification for them, the 410 factory will soon start producing prototypes, if nothing else, it will be delivered in June in the middle of the year, let the ground test be carried out first, and then we can increase our confidence."
Yan Zhongzhong nodded, then raised his hand to look at the time:
"Let's go, let's find our place first, and then we can talk slowly after sitting down."
The formal banquet here at the three gates is naturally impossible to make into a buffet like the few times Chang Haonan has participated in it before, it is the kind that is served according to the menu at separate tables, and the high-end is indeed more high-end, but it is not very convenient to talk about things.
Of course, the original intention of people to hold a celebration banquet is not to let you talk about things......
Chang Haonan and Yan Zhongzhong's table are still old acquaintances of the aviation industry.
In addition, there is Xu Yang, the only seedling of the Institute of Computing Technology.
A group of people sat down according to the name tags placed on the table.
"Mr. Yan, now that the turbojet 14 has been finalized, do you have any ideas for taking over the Taihang project next?"
The speaker is Luo Yang, who is currently in charge of the overall No. 11 project.
The name of this person is naturally thunderous to Chang Haonan, who has been reborn.
In the last life, after returning to Hong Kong with the successful completion of the first aircraft carrier landing mission in China, Luo Yang, who was the commander-in-chief of the J-15 development site, died in the line of duty due to sudden acute myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death.
Of course, in 1997, he was still in the prime of life:
"According to the agreement, the No. 11 project does not include the matching AL31F engine, we are thinking that since this aircraft will become our own J-11 in the future, it is not a matter to import aviation from the Russians, and I think the situation on the No. 10 project should be similar, and it is best to be equipped with domestic power synchronously like J-8C, so that we can also make some targeted improvements to the aircraft."
For Luo Yang, who is in charge of the overall project, it is of course best to complete these things in one step, and save it in the future, so he is quite concerned about the progress of the third-generation domestic turbofan 10.
However, Yan Zhongzhong waved his hand:
"I shouldn't be directly involved in the Taihang project, now that I'm older, and the recurrence of old injuries, my body is really a little unbearable."
He had been seriously injured during engine testing, and he didn't feel it when he was younger, but as he got older, some stubborn diseases began to appear, especially in autumn and winter:
"I plan to continue to engage in a project to refuel aviation in the future, and it would be good to give full play to some residual heat."
Compared to the turbofan10, which almost completely restarted the stove (in fact, it was not even determined where the stove would be used and what kind of stove was needed), the aeronautical conversion project was much less intensive, and was actually closer to the research direction that Yan Zhongzhong was better at in the past.
Luo Yang and Sun Cong both showed expressions of pity, but when they saw Chang Haonan sitting next to them, they were also slightly relieved.
Even if they are not responsible for aeropower, they still have a role for this young man in the finalization process of Kunlun engine.
And Project 11 has a modest advantage.
It is the Su-27 that the air intake of the aircraft has a very good foundation, and the size of the aircraft itself is large, so there is quite enough room for replacement.
In addition, twin-engine aircraft inherently have a higher safety margin.
In short, as long as the final product is not too bizarre, they can try it first, and if it doesn't work, they can even consider installing an AL31F and a turbofan 10 at the same time, so that even if the latter really has a small problem, it will not lead to too serious consequences......
"Speaking of the aeronautical gas turbine, Liu Lao happened to mention it just now, I don't know how the modification progress of the turbojet 14 core engine is?"
Sun Cong did not continue to hold on to the topic of turbofan 10, but took the opportunity to ask about the gas turbine.
"We've got an initial prototype for the 701 to test......"
Yan Zhongzhong had no choice but to repeat what he had just said, and then continued:
"Our final plan was to remove the original low-pressure components and redesign a low-pressure compressor and low-pressure turbine to drive the load directly, which would reduce the size of the gas turbine and improve fuel economy, which would be very useful for all-fuel powered ships. However, it will take some time to make this final version of the design, and we have already found several candidates through preliminary numerical calculations, and then we will optimize and compare the performance of each one. ”
Xu Yang, who was sitting next to Chang Haonan, had never opened his mouth since he first saw Chang Haonan and the others enter the banquet hall, but just quietly listened to the conversations of others.
When she usually participates in similar activities within the Chinese Academy of Sciences, she is also used to being alone and does not take the initiative to participate in topics.
But today, especially seeing Chang Haonan, who is regarded as a valuable partner by himself, also open his mouth to participate in the discussion from time to time, Xu Yang suddenly felt that it seemed a little bad for him to be out of the topic like this.
Coincidentally, I just talked about numerical calculations.
It's the direction she's good at.
