China's first aircraft engine was born in Tianjin University predecessor - Beiyang University . Its designer is Deng Yuemo , a professor at Beiyang University and an outstanding expert in mechanical engineering and materials.
Deng Yuemo, an expert in mechanical engineering and materials, an expert in motors, and an educator. In 1925, China's first hydroelectric generator was designed and manufactured; China's first all-around material testing machine was designed and manufactured; my country's first aircraft engine was successfully trial-produced; and presided over the design of a series of water conservancy projects and the development of water conservancy machinery and mining machinery . He has high attainments, rich experience and skilled skills in power mechanical engineering, steel and light metal alloys, material performance testing, etc., and has achieved a series of innovative technical achievements.
1934, Beiyang Institute of Technology established the "National Beiyang University Aircraft Engineering Research Association". The Aviation Administration of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Nanjing National Government specially allocated a German-made Fock Wulf aircraft to the school for research and imitation. At that time, aircraft manufacturing was still blank in China and was said to be "foreign people", while the engine was called "the heart of the aircraft". The process was extremely complicated, and independent manufacturing of aircraft engines was regarded as "whimsical" action. Faced with challenges and doubts, Deng Yuemo resolutely took the lead and presided over the trial production of the aircraft engine.
Mr. Deng Yuemo took on the trial production of the aircraft engine
President Li Shutian Prespect for talents and came forward to find the manager of Bank of China in Tianjin to solve the urgent need for research funds. Deng Yuemo and his assistants started with cast alloy and smelted by themselves. After two years of experiments, he finally passed one after another, making the technical indicators of cast alloys in terms of strength, hardness and surface performance reach the US standard. Then they began to study one by one, imitating the engine parts: take one piece of the engine parts and imitate one piece, first conduct a laboratory bench test, and then conduct physical operation tests. Deng Yuemo installed the imitated parts on the original machine and "driven" to test it, compared their performance gaps, and improved them. In the end, the entire original parts were replaced with homemade parts, and the self-made engine reached or even exceeded the German level in terms of horsepower, speed, stability, etc. The trial production was completely successful, and China's first aircraft engine was born.
