In order to better maintain the security of our country, the world today can be said to be in full swing in the construction of military weapons. In addition, when the international situation is more urgent, we do not even dare to slack off.
In the research and development of military weapons, a good engine directly affects the performance of some large fighter aircraft in the country, so military powers also attach great importance to this aspect, especially aero engines, so the research and development technology of this component is directly We have overcome a major obstacle that we are trying to break through, and among engines, the most important to the country's military development is the aviation engine.
Speaking of this aspect, the most powerful one now is Russia. Russia currently has the world's top aero engines, and because they have the most advanced technology.
Therefore, in order to ensure that their technology is not leaked, they declare that they will not export it to the outside world. Even if not a single screw is sold to our country, even the United States, a major military power, is doing this, and it has not been until now. It is impossible to surpass their engine. The engine of
is called the NK32 engine. The total length of this engine is 6m, and its weight exceeds 3 tons. In the ranks of engines, this size can be regarded as a giant.
But its most powerful thing is that it is the most powerful afterburning turbofan engine in history. The thrust of a single unit can reach 25 tons. It is directly installed on the Russian Figure 160 bomber . If you get on stage 4, then this ability is really outstanding.
The F101 engine in the United States is relatively outstanding in terms of thrust, but the thrust of their engine is only 14 tons. It seems that the thrust of Russia's NK32 has completely doubled, and its strength is simply crushing. of. The original purpose of the research and development of the
engine was to be used on Russia's Tu-160 strategic bomber. As Russia's most powerful strategic bomber , the Tu-160 is currently the most powerful long-range strategic bomber. , with the ability to fly at supersonic speeds.
Such a powerful weapon was actually built during the former Soviet Union. With the help of the NK32 afterburner engine, its maximum flight speed can reach Mach 2.05, its range can reach 16,000km, and its combat radius can also reach 8000km, it can be said that most of its performance is achieved by being equipped with the most powerful aeroengine in the world.
It is precisely because the Russian invention plays such an important role that they have to ensure that their technology is not leaked. The development of this type of engine technology itself has certain problems, especially the greater the power of the engine. , will cause the internal temperature to be greater.
Especially in the research and development of aero engines, it is already very difficult for engines from various countries around the world to ensure that parts are not burned out by high temperatures and to achieve a certain level of performance. Many countries have never thought of achieving this. The level of this Russian engine.
Perhaps it is because of their high position that they pay more attention to this engine. Russia has stated that it will not consider exporting this engine within 30 years.
In addition, the reason why they value this engine is also related to an event that happened in history. Because this engine was developed by the former Soviet Union, Russia also inherited such technological development, but did not France developed such an engine from scratch.
What I didn’t expect was that after the analysis by the former Soviet Union, the data was lost, including the drawing of Figure 160, and the most important thing was the technical drawing of this engine.
And in the absence of technical drawings, no engine can replace this engine. The NK32 engine is unique to the world at this stage, and it has greatly improved Russia's capabilities. , and at the same time, the ability to build on aircraft engines has reached a qualitative leap.
It is said that after several twists and turns, the technical drawings of this engine were found, and the official production of the Tu-160 bomber began.
After experiencing this series of things, coupled with the fact that the aerospace engine itself can greatly promote the overall development of the industry and the national economy, this engine becomes even more valuable.
Currently, most of the aviation engines in the world are turbofan gas engines. The most important thing is to ensure the safety and reliability of the engine. However, for now, military engines still have more features among engine types. A high level can represent a country's level reference in engine research and development.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary aviation engines will not be exported easily, not to mention such a powerful engine. If it is replaced by other countries, they will probably want to hide it.
