It is precisely because of this that, the most important thing they have now is that Tiangong Technology first manufactured the first manned aircraft of Tiangong Technology on the sea, and then developed the aerospace plane step by step and can truly fly freely in the Universe in the future. Universe spaceship.
Fortunately, the first manned aircraft of Tiangong Technology has finally been designed at this time. At the same time, the components of the first manned aircraft designed by Tiangong Technology have also entered the manufacturing stage. After the parts are manufactured, Tiangong Technology’s first manned aircraft will also enter the final assembly for any test flight.
However, since Tiangong Technology is the first to manufacture a manned aircraft, and it is still a medium-sized manned aircraft, even if it is designed and manufactured parts, it is not a simple matter to complete the assembly.
Of course, there are millions of parts for an aircraft, and it is impossible for them to manufacture all of them. There are still some parts that will be purchased externally, such as some parts such as screws and nuts, and some Electronic equipment.
At the same time, in terms of rocket development, Tiangong Technology has continued to develop, and with the increasing number of aero-engine models of Tiangong Technology, and more and more complete, in the future, Tiangong Technology will also put in the engine. The research and development shifted to the research and development of the rocket engine.
At the same time, Tiangong Technology will also increase research and development on some new concept rocket engines, such as pulse detonation engines used in the atmosphere and dual-purpose pulse detonation engines in space and in the atmosphere.
Nuclear engine, atomic engine, ion medium engine, etc.
Of course, in terms of various new types of rocket engines, Wang Bin and Tiangong Science and Technology have already begun to research, and some have even achieved results and reached the practical stage.
For example, the pulse detonation engine used in the atmosphere, Tiangong Technology has now developed to the stage of practicality. The maximum diameter of its engine tail nozzle can now be as large as 50 centimeters, but in terms of thrust, static thrust It’s about fifty thousand Newtons, which is about five tons.
In terms of maximum thrust, since the pulse detonation engine and the ramjet engine have similar properties, when the speed of the aircraft reaches Mach 2.2 or more, the thrust of the engine will be linear ascending, and finally reach the maximum thrust of the engine, so the maximum thrust of this engine The thrust actually reached about 9.5 tons.
Although this kind of thrust is still very different from the thrust of other aero engines of Tiangong Technology, which is more than ten or twenty tons, don’t forget that the nozzle diameter of this engine is only about fifty centimeters, and Compared with turbofan and turbojet engines, the total amount of this engine is also very light.
After all, the weight of engines such as turbofans and turbojets can be several tons or even higher. According to the design data, the weight of this pulse detonation engine is only a mere two hundred kilograms, or 0.2 tons.
This also means that the specific impulse of this engine is several times that of a turbofan or turbojet engine, which is definitely a huge piece of good news for an engine.
Of course, even so, the thrust of this engine of Tiangong Technology, especially the static thrust, still has a lot of shortcomings. Even if it is such a thrust, it has reached the usable standard, but the scope of use is still very limited. .
If you want to actually use the aircraft, especially for their Tiangong Technology, the thrust must be at least ten tons or more.
Thinking of this, Wang Bin immediately walked out of the own office and walked towards the rocket engine research and development laboratory. On the way, Wang Bin was still thinking about the new type of rocket engine.
Because although Tiangong Technology is in the research and development of various new engines, in addition to the research and development of pulse detonation engines, there has been great progress, and the progress in other aspects of engine research and development is not very good. Large, especially in the research and development of nuclear rocket engines and ion rocket engines.
Since the counties and cities where Tiangong Technology is located are coastal counties and cities, the personnel here are very dense. It is impossible for them to develop and produce and launch nuclear rockets here. Let alone the nature of nuclear rockets. It is the continuous detonation of the miniature nuclear bomb, so if the rocket has an accident, it is safe to say that a nuclear bomb explodes.
The nuclear radiation generated during the development and production of launch rockets will also pose a fatal threat to most of the nearby areas. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to develop nuclear rockets here. At the same time, due to experts and scholars in nuclear research and development, They are not accessible to ordinary people, so now they have very few experts, scholars and R&D personnel in this area of Tiangong Technology, and these people are basically from official support personnel, and the research and development work is now also Only theoretical research and development work can be carried out.
Fortunately, their Tiangong Technology is in a desolate place in the northwest. With the help of the government, they are establishing a related laboratory and launch site. Therefore, Wang Bin still looks forward to the completion and investment of this laboratory. use.
After all, although it is impossible to carry out substantive research and development work here, but in the theoretical research and development work, because Wang Bin provided a lot of information and technology, so in the theoretical research and development work, the progress of their Tiangong Technology can be described as Very quickly, even the design of their first nuclear-powered rocket has already been carried out at this time. Presumably, after the completion of this laboratory, they can immediately enter the prototype manufacturing and subsequent testing.
As for the ion medium rocket engine, that is, the research and development of electric rockets, although Tiangong Technology has also carried out, but because Tiangong Technology does not pay much attention to this aspect, the progress of research and development is not fast. Of course, this is only relative to other aspects. Project.
If you put it internationally, the research and development of their ionic medium rocket engine by Tiangong Technology is definitely the most advanced.
After all, the most advanced ion-medium rocket engine in the world now has a maximum thrust of only a cattle-level thrust, but as for Tiangong Technology, the thrust of the most advanced ion-medium rocket engine now has reached ten kilonewtons. .
However, this kind of thrust is still somewhat insufficient for Tiangong Technology, but when used on some special spacecraft, such as satellites and other spacecraft, it is definitely a weapon in terms of orbit change and deep space exploration.
Even if Tiangong Technology successfully develops aerospace planes in the future, this engine can be used for flight and orbit changes in the Universe.
