In later generations, China's aviation industry lagged behind the world's major powers. China's large aircraft and helicopters, at least until he traveled back to this era, basically relied on imports. Aircraft engines, and even all engines, have almost become the biggest factor in the modernization of the Chinese military.
restrictions.
Heart disease has become synonymous with this phenomenon. The most critical thing is the basic theoretical research of aviation, which also lags behind the West. This is not only a problem of aircraft manufacturing, but also the development and production of aviation materials. The West has begun to mass-produce aluminum
Lithium alloy is the main manufacturing material for aircraft, but China is still producing lagging general aviation aluminum.
Compared with some relatively good military combat aircraft, large aircraft and some special aircraft, they lag behind in all aspects. Especially helicopters, except for the domestically produced small Z-9 and some unreliable Z-8, they are all
Various models of imported Mi 17.
There is even a gap in basic performance between the domestic Y-8 medium-sized transport aircraft and the Hercules transport aircraft developed by the United States in the 1950s. The latest model is only comparable to other products in the 1960s and 1970s. The Chinese aviation industry
From the day it was established, it has been far behind others. The foundation is not solid, and the process of catching up is extremely difficult.
When the first aircraft factory of the Anti-Japanese War was under construction, Yang Zhen secretly swore that he would take off the aviation industry and the corresponding engine manufacturing industry, which is known as the crown of human industry. Even if he is in the first echelon
There is no position, but we must firmly occupy the head of the second echelon.
But this is not a simple matter. The development of the modern aviation industry involves the application of all aspects of disciplines. It cannot be accomplished by relying on one order or instruction. It requires more people like the guy in front of me.
Scientists achieve this through the knowledge they possess.
Yang Zhen is familiar with the performance of these aircraft. When it comes to the future development of the aviation industry, he is probably the person who knows the best in the world. After Yang Zhen thought about it for a while, he would definitely focus on his judgment on the future direction of the aviation industry.
, opening up a somewhat silent situation.
Yang Zhen's endless "foresight" about the future development of aviation completely aroused the interest of this man who originally wanted to deal with the problem. From the beginning, he only listened but did not speak, and then he and Yang Zhen sometimes resonated and sometimes argued.
.Once this chat box is opened, it is difficult to close it. The two people talked about the current development status of the domestic aviation industry and the future development of the international aviation industry, and the atmosphere became more and more heated.
Both of them believe that with the development of aviation technology, except for some rich and well-fed people, sooner or later the slow passenger ship transportation will be eliminated by airplanes. Moreover, the passenger capacity of airplanes will also become larger and larger.
, the speed will become faster and faster, and the range will become farther and farther. The most critical point is that both people believe that jet power will replace piston engines sooner or later.
Although the principle of this kind of engine has just been formed, and only a few countries are developing this kind of aero engine. At present, only the British have made a real breakthrough. But from the perspective of the development of science and technology, once this
The technology is mature.
From the perspective of engine efficiency, power and other aspects, the piston engine will be completely eliminated from large aircraft and even fighter jets. Although this kind of jet engine has far higher requirements for production technology and raw materials.
It is used in piston engines that are currently widely used.
And it will take a long time to be truly mature enough to be used by large passenger aircraft. But once this engine technology matures, the speed of development will be unimaginable. Even from the currently known materials, this jet engine
, both in terms of power and other aspects, are far higher than piston engines.
However, Yang Zhen believes that in the field of military transportation, the elimination of piston engines will take a relatively long time. Because the field of military transportation is different from passenger transportation. Although jet aircraft have good performance, their requirements for take-off and landing sites are too high.
It is difficult to fully meet military needs in a short period of time.
And after the piston engine is eliminated, turboprop aircraft will at least be the main replacement for a long period of time. After all, these engines do not have as demanding take-off and landing site requirements as jets. This will undoubtedly improve tactical support capabilities.
It's quite critical.
Yang Zhen even believes that helicopters, which are still called gyroplanes. This type of vertical take-off and landing aircraft, which has just been researched and only a few prototypes have been produced for research, will play an extremely important role in the future development of aviation.
location. The emergence of this new aviation equipment will completely change the Army's combat model.
At the same time, it will also replace some short-distance transportation. It will also play an extremely important role in the construction of the national economy. It will even play a considerable role in first aid and firefighting. Especially in complex terrain where airports cannot be established.
, will play an irreplaceable role.
Yang Zhen's evaluation of rotorcraft is not the research direction of this man, so he cannot comment. But he focuses on the research of aviation materials. For Yang Zhen, with the advancement of science and technology, new materials will replace it to a certain extent in the future.
The existing aluminum is widely used as aviation materials.
Moreover, I agree with the view that the development and research of aviation materials will play a decisive role in the civil aviation market and the competition of military aircraft. Yang Zhen believes that the technological level and material research will determine the performance of aeroengines.
Our views are basically on the same point of view as his. The more the two of them talk, the closer they get, and the more they talk, the more interested they become.
When talking about the current situation of China's domestic aviation industry, this man who was very dissatisfied with the current situation of Chongqing's only wanting to buy American aircraft instead of establishing his own aviation industry and felt that he had no way to serve the country, said in a depressed voice
All the wine in the glass is drained.
Looking at him who was a little depressed, Yang Zhen didn't hide much. He directly told him that the two groups of aviation and mechanical students from various universities who came from Guan last year and this year, except for some who stayed in the Northeast, established the first Chinese
A real aircraft manufacturer, as well as an aero-engine manufacturer, were established in addition to the aviation design institute.
The rest were sent to Zhukovsky Air Force Engineering Academy of the Soviet Union, as well as Moscow Aviation Institute, Bauman Engineering Institute, Leningrad Institute of Precision Mechanics and Optics and other famous Soviet aviation industry universities to study abroad. Learn about aircraft and airborne equipment.
As well as the design and manufacturing of engines, the smelting and research of aviation materials.
But not only these people have to learn advanced aviation technology in the Soviet Union. They are also those who can only stay temporarily to participate in the establishment work due to work needs, but cannot go directly to study in the Soviet Union. After their classmates or seniors return to China after completing their studies,
After that, I will also go to the Soviet Union to study in order to further improve my professional level and lay a good foundation for future development.
The Anti-Japanese Federation also selected a group of capable personnel from these international students to enter several Soviet aviation design bureaus and the Central Institute of Fluid Mechanics, where they studied aircraft design and manufacturing while taking professional courses. Among this group of people were
of people, after a year of hard study, have completed their master's degree.
While sending a large number of international students to study abroad, the Anti-League established aeronautical engineering departments at Harbin Engineering University, the only university in the base area, and at the newly-established Anti-League University of Technology. They squeezed out a sum of funds under limited funds.
, we tried our best to hire a group of experts and professors from the Soviet Union and the United States to teach.
Moreover, the Chinese's own aircraft manufacturing plant has also entered production. It has begun some research and imitation work relying on colleges and universities. Under the current tense war situation, the Anti-Japanese League has invested a lot of energy and funds, just to
Build China's own strong aviation industry as soon as possible.
Not only must they be able to imitate other people's products, but they must also be able to design and manufacture advanced aircraft and engines themselves. The Chinese must not only produce and manufacture advanced fighter jets and bombers to ensure that China in the future will no longer suffer from today's sufferings. They must also produce and
Create advanced transport aircraft, large passenger aircraft, and create the Chinese people's own competitive machine.
Now we are producing and manufacturing our own excellent piston engines, and in the near future we will also be producing and manufacturing advanced jet engines and turboprop engines. Completely get rid of the Chinese, who can only rely on imported aircraft, whether for military aircraft or civilian aircraft.
Situation. Build China's own strong aviation industry and let the Chinese stand at the forefront of the world again.
If he is willing to stay, he can choose to teach at a university or work as an engineer in a design institute. However, Yang Zhen hopes that he can hold two positions at the same time, bring out a group of students like him, and at the same time contribute to the construction of China's own
The aviation industry realizes its ambitions.
During the conversation, Yang Zhen not only once again sincerely apologized for the work mistakes of the Political Department, but also promised that as long as he could stay, he could choose where to work. All aspects of the Anti-League related to the aviation industry
, no secret can be kept from him personally.
Hearing Yang Zhen's ambitious plan, this man suffered a lot of setbacks in Chongqing. He saw that there was a shortage of aerospace engineering graduates in the country. But because he couldn't even find an internship unit, he could only choose to work after graduation or
After passing the exam to study abroad, or having to change majors without being able to apply what I have learned, I feel quite discouraged and plan to return to the United States. I can’t help but be stunned.
Chongqing, which has the resources of a country in its hands, has never considered such a huge plan, let alone accomplished it. Even if it set up an aviation factory, it is still dragging on half-deadly. Every year, it only receives a large amount of funds, but
It can only repair some engines or copy a very small number of backward old-fashioned aero engines. The real production capacity is only a number zero.
They were limited to the northeastern corner of China, but they actually did it and sent such a large number of international students. He calculated what Yang Zhen had said: he graduated from several universities and came to the northeast, and was selected to go to the Soviet Union to continue his studies.
There are more than 300 students studying there. This fully accounts for more than half of the students majoring in aviation in several universities in Northeast China in the past two years.
You must know that such a large number of students studying in the Soviet Union costs a lot of money. Especially since the Soviet Union is also in a war environment, the cost can only be higher. These are only selected from within the customs.
They themselves also sent a large number of overseas students to study aviation-related majors in the Soviet Union.
Including all other students who are building modern industries, a rough calculation of the international students sent out from them, there are seven to eight thousand people. And this number is still growing. Such a huge burden
, how did they sustain it?
My proud disciple at the Dading Engine Manufacturing Factory in Chongqing is now studying aero-engine design at the Zhukovsky Air Force Engineering Academy of the Soviet Union. At the same time, he is studying engine design and manufacturing with the Soviet aero-engine design master, Klimov. Not only
It was just him, he also heard many other names that he was familiar with among the list of students studying in the Soviet Union.
