For a long time, there has been a view circulating in the international aviation field: China cannot independently develop a high-performance aero engine, but is this really the case?In fact, of course not, and the turboshaft-16 engine jointly developed by China and France has been successfully delivered, and such an achievement can be said to completely subvert this point of view.
Speaking of which, many netizens inevitably wondered: Why was there always a rumor before: China can't build an aero engine?From a practical point of view, it is not unreasonable to have such a statement, and at the same time, it is not groundless.
Why do you say that?
The first point: China's aviation industry has long faced the problem of insufficient technology accumulation. One thing we must realize is that in the field of aero engines, technology accumulation is extremely important, but technology accumulation is a result of long-term research and development and practical experience.
Due to historical reasons, there is also a late development in this field in China, which also represents that China is relatively lagging behind in aero engine technology, lacking core technology and advanced manufacturing technology.
The second point. China's aviation industry has been limited by international technical barriers and market barriers for a period of time, and the aerospace engine itself is a highly complex technical field, which will not only involve numerous patents, but also involve technical standards.
Therefore, only a few developed countries occupy a dominant position in this field, and this phenomenon will also form a kind of technical barrier, making it difficult for China to enter the international market.
At the same time, due to the high investment and high risk of aero engines, the entry threshold for new entrants in the international market is also high, which will also form market barriers.
The third point. China's aviation industry is indeed facing the problem of lack of core components and advanced materials for a period of time, but it is also necessary to know that the aero engine is a highly and complex system, so it actually needs a large number of core components and advanced materials as support, so as to ensure its performance and reliability.
However, due to technical limitations and the imperfection of the first chain, there are certain shortcomings in China's core components and advanced materials, which limit the development and application of aero engines.
However, with the rapid development of China's aviation industry in recent years, it has gradually broken the view that "China can't build aero engines".
However, in the later period, by increasing investment in research and development, as well as strengthening international cooperation and the introduction of technology, China's aviation industry has made a major breakthrough in the field of engine technology, and the successful delivery of the turboshaft-16 engine is a typical example, which not only marks a breakthrough in China's aero engine technology, but also injects new impetus into the development of China's aviation industry.
After knowing all this, we are also looking at the characteristics and applications of the turboshaft-16 engine. This gives you a better idea of how powerful it is!
The turboshaft-16 engine is the latest turboshaft engine developed in China that meets the airworthiness regulations, which has many unique characteristics and a wide range of applications.
First of all, the turboshaft-16 engine has excellent performance indicators, its take-off power is not less than 1240kw, and its weight does not exceed 2235kg, fuel consumption rate is not more than 294g kw·h, and the practical ceiling reaches 6000 meters, these performance indicators make the turboshaft-16 engine have excellent power and efficiency in the aviation field, and can meet the needs of various complex flight missions.
Secondly, the turboshaft-16 engine adopts advanced design concepts and technologies, and in the development process, China and France give full play to their respective advantages and jointly overcome technical difficulties. The engine adopts an advanced turboshaft design, for which the design has a high pressure ratio, thermal efficiency, which can provide more thrust and lower fuel consumption, and also uses advanced materials and manufacturing processes, which can effectively improve the durability and reliability of the engine.
In addition, the engine can also be used in other aviation fields, such as it can be used in the power plant of fixed-wing aircraft, providing strong thrust and efficient fuel consumption, improving the performance and economy of the aircraft.
If you think about it with extended thinking, this kind of engine can actually be used in UAV systems or UAVs, which can provide reliable power support for UAVs and effectively expand the application field and mission scope of UAVs.
The successful delivery of the turboshaft-16 engine demonstrates the strength and innovation ability of China's aviation industry.
Moreover, its successful development not only broke the view that "China cannot build an aero engine", but also injected new impetus into the development of China's aviation industry.
Although it is impossible to be perfect now, I believe that in the near future, we also have reason to believe that China's aero engine technology will continue to make breakthroughs, and will eventually contribute more to the rise of China's aviation industry.
