When they entered the control center of the ground test platform, they could clearly hear the roar of the Turbofan 25.
However, this sound was much softer than the previous Turbofan 20 engine.
Qi Yin had also put a lot of effort into noise control. The large bypass used by the passenger plane had very high requirements for noise, so it was easier to gain an advantage with relatively small noise.
In fact, compared to when the Turbofan 25 was established, it had changed a lot. The thrust reached 20 tons, becoming the first engine with a large bypass ratio with a thrust of more than 20 tons in ancient countries.
In this aspect, the ancient country's engines of more than 20 tons were blank, not to mention that the most advanced large bypass engine had reached more than 50 tons of thrust. It could be seen how big the gap was.
It was precisely because of these changes that the project of the Turbofan 25 was so far behind. The main reason was that they spent too much time on these issues.
Now, the second round of ground tests of the Turbofan 25 was underway. In fact, the main test items had already been completed in the first round. Currently, they were testing the life of this engine. After a certain time limit, it could be sent to the high-altitude platform for testing.
After passing the test on the high-altitude platform, they could basically carry out a qualitative production review and then officially enter service or enter the market.
The two academicians had rushed over after receiving the news that the Turbofan 25 was undergoing life testing. If there were no problems in the life testing, this engine would not be far from service.
"Great, we finally have our own high-thrust engine. This is a 20-ton engine. I really didn't dare to think that we would have this day!”Academician Tang Hong said with tears in his eyes when he saw the Turbofan 25 engine spewing heat waves.
The ancient country started too late in the field of aero engines. Moreover, it had experienced a dark period, which led to it falling behind foreign countries even more.
Coupled with the tight blockade of the western countries, the pace of advancement was even more staggering.
If it wasn't for the country's economic development over the years and the huge investment in the aerospace engine industry, the gap would have been even greater.
The emergence of Sky High Aerospace Industries allowed many people to see the dawn of catching up with the western countries. The success of the Turbofan 20 gave them great confidence. At least the ancient countries had caught up with the western countries in terms of high-thrust engines with low bypass ratio.
The Turbofan 20 had been developed into a variety of engines with different thrusts, becoming one of the main engines of the military.
At present, the Air Force had planned to give the Turbofan 20 a new code name, an independent code name, and then integrate the Turbofan 11 and Turbofan 22 into this new series, rather than just the Turbofan series.
This was also an affirmation of the contribution of Sky High Aerospace Industry to the ancient country's aviation industry. This was also a great honor.
Among them, the most popular title was the seemingly old-fashioned title of Dragon God, but this title had a great meaning.
The dragon had been the totem of the ancient country for thousands of years, and it was also the symbol of the national spirit of the ancient country. It was a great honor to give this title to this engine.
The future title of the Turbofan-20 would be the TL-20 Yinglong, while the Turbofan-11 would be the TL-11 Green Dragon. In the future, the engines expanded from the Turbofan-20 engine would belong to this entire series, and they would be listed separately from the Turbofan series.
Chief Engineer He Qiang also looked a little excited as he asked,"CEO Qi, does its thrust really exceed 20 tons?”
Qi Yin actually understood what Chief Engineer He Qiang meant. He wanted to ask if he was bragging and if he had lied about a very high number. After all, many companies had done this kind of thing just to brag.
After hearing Chief Engineer He Qiang's question, Qi Yin couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile and said,""Academician He, after the first round of testing, its maximum thrust reached 21350 kilograms, which is 21.35 tons. This value is absolutely true.”
After He Qiang heard Qi Yin's words, he said somewhat embarrassedly,""I'm sorry, CEO Qi. There's something wrong with the way I asked the question!”
Qi Yin also noticed that Academician He Qiang didn't have much contact with the world compared to Academician Tang Hong, so he was very direct.
"CEO Qi, according to your plan, when do you think it can serve?”Academician Tang Hong looked at Qi Yin expectantly.
Qi Yin thought for a while before saying,"According to the current progress, we can enter the military service at the end of the year!”
The design of this engine was more complicated, so it would definitely take more time.
Once it entered service, it would become the most advanced 20-ton fourth-generation large bypass ratio turbine engine.
"Alright, I look forward to our Yun-20 aircraft being able to fly into the sky with our domestic high-thrust engine next year!”After Academician Tang Hong received Qi Yin's guarantee, he couldn't help but feel relieved. He could afford to wait for this long, but he was a little anxious.
