Unparalleled True Technology

Chapter 230: Vector engine technology

"The vector engine is actually a jet engine, but the vector engine can provide propulsion in different directions through the steering of the injection port, so that the fighter can ensure that when the fighter is flying at low speeds and high power angles, it provides additional control power Control aircraft maneuver. Jet engines can only provide propulsion in one direction, either to fly forward or to provide reverse propulsion when landing. "

After Wenming poured a basin of cold water on this group of guests, he naturally needed to give another sweet date. Otherwise, the transaction would only be a technology sharing, and Wenming would not get more benefits.

"Since the fourth generation of fighters, vector engines have been a must-have technology, or fighters without vector engine technology are not even fourth-generation fighters at all."

Wenming didn't explain in detail why the fighter requires a vector engine, because whether it is Howard or Lewis, their requirements for the power required by the fighter in the air combat are clearer than Wenming.

"Until now, the vector engine technology that can be maturely applied is only the binary vector engine technology on the F-22. The turning of the jet can only be used in the vertical direction of the flight. That is, when the F-22 When level flight, this kind of force can only be used for up and down, and when F-22 is flying sideways, it can achieve left-right swing flight. "

"And so far, the multivariate vector engine has only the theory, and no mature product can be used for application."

Howard and Lewis knew the advantages and disadvantages of vector engines only in the United States and Russia. When they heard Wenming's sudden mention of vector engine technology, they already had a hunch in their minds, because their technical staff had put forward a conjecture when analyzing the technology of Angel Wings before.

The Pentagon technician who asked the question asked again with some emotions: "Do you mean that the energy engine can really solve the technical problem of multivariate vectors?"

The gap between the binary vector and the multivariate vector does not need to be said, as long as the name can be guessed.

For example, a binary vector is like a crab. Although it can walk in either direction, it can only walk sideways. But the multivariate vector is equivalent to human beings. For fighters that need agility in the course of air combat, this gap is absolutely huge.

Wen Ming laughed and said, "It is not a solution to the technical problems faced by multiple vectors, but energy engines do not have such problems at all. The technical problem of vector engines is that the thrust of the vector engine does not pass through the engine axis and has a large angle This will add a bending moment to the engine. But for an energy engine, there is no problem with the bending moment. Because the thrust of the energy engine passes through the axis of the engine. "

"In addition, the vector engine has very high requirements for the material of the nozzle, because the gas emitted by the vector engine is higher in temperature and stronger than the gas ejected by the conventional jet engine. The technology of multiple vector engine is actually rocket It has been applied for a long time, but the rocket only takes a few minutes, even if the nozzle has been destroyed by high temperature and high pressure within a few minutes, the fighter plane needs to be used for a long time. "

"Possibly the engine does not increase the material requirements of the nozzle, because the energy engine can form an energy layer inside the channel of the nozzle. This layer of energy layer can protect the material at the nozzle to a certain extent."

(Ps: knowing boss please smile, don't take it seriously.)

Hearing Wen Ming ’s explanation, the Pentagon technicians were even more excited, and there was a urge to **** the exhibits in Wen Ming ’s hands to study it. However, General Howard and Lewis were not very excited, although this was an unexpected gain for them, but the actual effect was not great.

In modern warfare, fighter aircraft really do not rely on air combat, but on avionics systems.

Your radar didn't find me, I found you, even if a missile can't solve you, I can get another one.

It's flexible enough to avoid missiles, but it's not as advanced as an avionics fighter, and it can hit you invisibly.

And the most important thing is that when the aircraft is flying at high speed, it is actually impossible to make large movements. Even if the flexibility is even higher, what use is there for the pilot sitting inside? Playing himself to death also saves a lot of ammunition for the enemy.

Technology does not have to use the most advanced, but it must use the most mature and appropriate.

However, being able to improve to a certain degree is naturally beneficial. It seems to be of little use at present, but who can guarantee that it will be useless in the future?

Just like when electricity was first invented, who can imagine that after many years, electricity has become an essential energy in human life?

Wen Ming continued: "Our current research on energy engines has set three directions."

"The first is to reduce the power consumption requirements of the energy engine, while increasing the power of the energy engine as much as possible. The second is to study the combination of the energy engine and the laser weapon, based on the energy engine, to improve the laser weapon as much as possible. Attack strength. The third is to strip out the energy layer research in the energy engine. If this research can be successful, then we can realize the energy protection shield, a powerful defense method that can be applied in future wars. "

Three research directions have successfully attracted General Howard. However, Howard also knew very well that all three research directions were very difficult.

"Then, Mr. Wenming."

Howard asked, "What I want to know is, what do you need? I don't think it should be research funding?"

This question is very direct and normal. The U.S. military often cooperates with some defense contractors. They provide funds or some unique technologies, and then the defense contractors conduct in-depth research or applied research.

When the research comes to fruition, these results will also become the fruits of the US military alone. Regardless of the defense contractor, if the US military resources are used in the research of a certain weapon, then they will never be able to sell their research results to other countries.

Wenming did not expect General Howard to be hooked up so soon. He has just become one of the defense contractors. In fact, his position is not very stable, not only because he has not yet received a US military defense order. Because he did not have any substantial cooperation with the US military.

This technology sharing is, in the final analysis, cooperation only under pressure. After Wen Ming handed over the technical information to General Howard and his party, this cooperation ended here.

Wen Ming introduced so many seemingly irrelevant materials before, but he just wanted to reach real cooperation with the US military. Only by getting funding and technical support from the US military before or during the research process can you ensure that you are a true US defense contractor.

"Of course we don't need funding."

Wenming smiled confidently and said, "All we need is the authorization to apply the binary vector engine technology ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ Of course, if we can get some mature vector engine technology information, I think our research Time will tell a lot. "

General Howard hesitated for a moment and asked, "Binary vector engine technology? Aren't you saying that energy engine technology is more advanced than binary vector engine technology? Also, you are studying energy engine technology, not vector engine technology."

Binary vector engine technology can be said to be unique to the US government, and even Russia ’s technology in this area is not as good as the United States. It is precisely because of this prerequisite that the U.S. military and the U.S. government have technically blocked the binary vector engine technology. Not to mention exporting the technology to other countries. Even within the United States, no one is eligible for research. of.

Wen Ming smiled and looked at the Pentagon technician who had been asking questions just now.

The technician explained Wenming: "Although energy engine technology and vector engine technology are two technologies, in the strict sense, they have a lot in common."
