   Chapter 207, Small Aircraft Engines

  Xinghai Aerospace Base Aero Engine Wind Tunnel Test Laboratory.

  Wang Chen, Sun Zilong, Tang Peng and many other scientists and engineers are looking at the aero-engines being tested in the wind tunnel.

  This aero engine is a small aviation turbojet engine independently developed by Xinghai Aerospace.

   is very small in size, only one meter long and less than fifty centimeters in diameter. It can be said to be very small, and there is no comparison with the engines of fighter jets and passenger planes.

   The size is small, and the power is also small, and it cannot be compared with the engines of those large passenger planes and fighter jets.

   And in terms of fuel used, normal aviation engines generally use aviation kerosene, which has many advantages such as high combustion value, stable combustion, and low carbon deposition.

The small jet turbofan engine in front of you, like a car, can directly burn gasoline, preferably bio-energy oil, because bio-energy oil has fewer impurities and produces less carbon deposits, which can be used for a longer period of time. life.

   "Boom~"

  In the wind tunnel laboratory, the small engine spurted out orange-red flames, and the relevant data was continuously transmitted to the computer.

   "Yes, yes, it is really rare that such a small engine can achieve a combustion temperature of about 1000 degrees Celsius."

   Just by looking at the majesty that comes out, Tang Peng can know the power and performance of this engine.

   Generally speaking, the condition of the engine can be roughly known by the color of the jet.

   For example, the combustion temperature of the engine with better performance can exceed 2500 degrees Celsius, and the blue flame with multiple tail flames spit out, which has a strong sense of technology.

  The second is that the combustion temperature is 2000 degrees Celsius, and the tail flame is sky blue, which is also full of technological colors.

   As for the engine with a prominent orange-red tail flame, it is obviously an ordinary engine, and the combustion temperature is around 1000 degrees Celsius.

   "General, general, I'm just practicing my hands now. The flames that spew out are still orange-red tail flames, which seem to be of average quality. If you can spray flames that highlight pure blue, it will be full of sci-fi colors and a sense of technology."

On the side of   , Wang Chen seemed very dissatisfied.

   As an aspiring young man in the new era, naturally he will not be satisfied with the orange-red tail flame in front of him. To do it naturally is to do the best, and to get a blue tail flame, it looks really technological.

   "You guys are already amazing. It's only been so long that you can manufacture such a small engine, which is very rare."

   "You can take it slowly and do it step by step. I believe you will be able to come up with a more powerful engine soon."

   Tang Peng looked at Wang Chen, who was not satisfied, and also quickly encouraged him.

Tang Peng, who is older, has gone through a lot. He knows that Wang Chen and Sun Zilong are real geniuses, geniuses in the field of aerospace. It has only been more than 2 months, and they have really come out. A self-developed small engine came out.

   And, as you can tell by looking at the tail flame, it's a pretty good engine.

   "The thrust is very good. With a thrust of 1.5 tons, coupled with the effect of the anti-gravity engine, this kind of thrust is absolutely enough for a small private anti-gravity aircraft."

   "It's just that the fuel consumption is similar to that of a car, which is very rare."

  Tang Peng looked at the many data displayed on the display, the most important of which was the thrust. Even though the engine was small, the thrust could reach 1.5 tons of thrust, which was already about one-tenth of the thrust of the fighter engine.

   "It's okay~"

   "The main reason is that we have a combination of anti-gravity engines. Otherwise, it will be a problem whether it can fly to the sky with this little thrust, let alone expect it to reach hypersonic flight."

  Sun Zilong looked dissatisfied with the data.

  The technology of aero-engines has been rotten for a long time, with a history of more than 100 years, but there are only a handful of people who can create powerful aero-engines, and the technical content here is very high.

   The small engine in front of us was also developed for the development of private anti-gravity aircraft by Xinghai Technology.

  At present, the battery technology is not enough. There is no way to rely on the anti-gravity power to drive the small private anti-gravity aircraft. It is necessary to increase the auxiliary power.

If all the anti-gravity engines are used to drive, it requires a fairly powerful battery to carry enough power, and the use of auxiliary power can greatly save power, only the anti-gravity engine provides anti-gravity, and does not need to provide flight power. In this case, the power consumption can be relatively small.

  This small jet engine in front of me is used to provide auxiliary power to propel the private anti-gravity aircraft to fly in the sky.

   Actually, this is just a way of transitioning.

   After Liu Yuan has researched more powerful battery technology, he can completely abandon this auxiliary power system and directly use anti-gravity engines to drive it.

   is simpler, safer, and faster.

"From the relevant data of the current test, using this jet engine combined with the small anti-gravity engine we have developed, the speed of our private anti-gravity aircraft can completely reach the flight speed of Mach 5, which is enough. "

  Tang Peng ordered people to input the relevant data into the computer, and the computer soon began to simulate the flight and test, and the relevant data came out at once.

   "Although the speed of Mach 5 is not comparable to that of aerospace fighters, it is still acceptable. It is enough for ordinary civilian use. At this speed, you can fly from here to the imperial capital in half an hour."

   At this moment, Liu Yuan's voice sounded beside him, and seeing Liu Yuan looking at the data simulated by the computer, he nodded with satisfaction.

   "Boss, why are you here?"

   Everyone heard the voice and quickly looked at Liu Yuan.

   "Haha, let me see how the private anti-gravity aircraft research is going. Now the company is in trouble. I'm just waiting for you to help me earn some rice."

   Liu Yuan said jokingly.

   "Boss, the large anti-gravity aircraft may not be able to come out so soon. It is estimated that it will be by the end of the year."

   "But this private anti-gravity aircraft, we can launch it soon."

   "With this jet engine combined with our antigravity engine, there is no problem at all to create a small personal antigravity vehicle."

   "You can harvest the IQ tax of the rich first."

   Tang Peng said with a smile when he heard it.

  “Haha~”

   When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

   The strategy formulated by Xinghai Aerospace is like this.

  Because in a short period of time, the production capacity is limited and the output is not high, so in the market, it is necessary to take the high-end route first.

   On the one hand, it is because only Xinghai Technology in the world has the strength to create a small private anti-gravity aircraft, and anti-gravity technology represents the most advanced technology first, full of sci-fi things.

   Naturally, it has to be sold more expensively, so as to be worthy of its status and status.

   Another aspect is for brand and image.

If you want to take the mid-to-high-end route and operate in the mid-to-high-end market, you should tell everyone from the very beginning that my products are the best, with the highest technology content, and also the most expensive, so I only sell them to the most powerful ones. people.

  Small personal anti-gravity craft is definitely going to do just that.

  Because the current private jet itself is very expensive, the private anti-gravity aircraft is the target of the private jet, and it is better and more convenient than the private jet.

  You also need to park a private jet in the airport, which requires a lot of money to maintain every year, and a professional flight attendant to drive and fly.

  Therefore, those who have private jets are all real bosses, real rich people. For ordinary rich people, you can't afford a private jet at all. Even if you can afford it, you can't afford it.

   But the small private anti-gravity aircraft is different. It does not need a special airport. It can be parked in the garage like a car, and it can also take off and land vertically.

You don't need a professional pilot to drive, you can drive it yourself, just like driving a car. One is driving on the ground, and the other is flying in the sky. This alone can kill the current private jet and make it the most desired by the rich. obtained toy.

  Who doesn't want to fly freely in the sky?

  Who doesn’t long for convenient travel anytime, anywhere?

  When others are still stuck in traffic on the ground, you can enjoy the beauty of the earth leisurely in the sky.

  While other people are still worrying about the ticket, you have been flying around the world in your private anti-gravity aircraft.

   How much does a private anti-gravity vehicle like this sell for?

   At least it has to be eight figures. Even if it is sold for nine figures, there will definitely be people who are not short of money to buy it.

   Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Tang Peng saying that this small private anti-gravity aircraft can harvest the IQ tax of a wave of rich people first.

It’s a little more expensive now, and when the output gradually increases in the future, then it will slowly introduce some relatively cheap models, until the private anti-gravity aircraft that is about the same price as a car is finally released, and everyone can afford it. .

   Everyone would think that it would be very cheap to spend a few hundred thousand to buy Xinghai Technology's private anti-gravity aircraft, because at the beginning, this thing was sold for nine figures, and it was simply not affordable for ordinary people.

It’s like Tesla sold millions of dollars when it first came out. Because it was a pure electric car, it was copied by the rich people, thinking that driving an electric car is synonymous with fashion and environmental protection. I will feel that this car is very good, and it has the feeling of a luxury car.

  PS: People are a bit absent, and there is a chapter to be late~
