"Compressor start!"
To ensure that the airflow inside the wind tunnel can reach 3 kilometers per second
A total of 20 compressors were installed.
Compressed air will be blown into the wind tunnel under simulated operating conditions.
"Buzz~~~"
The enormous sound echoed through the mountains surrounding the 031 R&D base.
What is the current wind speed?
"Report, Dean Qian, 1 km/s!"
"Start all compressors!"
"Start the third compressor!"
"Start the fourth compressor!"
The powerful airflow caused the control room, located not far from the wind tunnel, to vibrate slightly.
"Wind speed 2 km/s!"
"The combustion chamber temperature curve of the WS-15 turbofan engine has been adjusted."
Engineers projected the combustion chamber temperature curve of the WS-15 turbofan engine onto an electronic screen.
The curve is very stable, remaining within the 1900 degree Celsius range.
"Vibration system operating conditions".
"Report! Vibration in the high-pressure compressor, combustion chamber, and exhaust turbine are all below the alarm threshold!"
"Principal Su, it's going to work!!!"
Although Dean Miao couldn't understand the technical parameters, all the indicator lights in the monitoring room were green.
This indicates that the wind tunnel test was conducted normally!
"Increase to Mach 10!"
According to the design drawings in the system, the J-20 is designed for a maximum flight speed of Mach 2.8.
If the experiment of reaching 10 times the speed of sound can be successfully conducted, then the power requirements of the J-20 fighter jet can certainly be met.
"Principal Su, isn't Mach 6 enough? Our JX-10 fighter jet doesn't need such a powerful engine, does it?"
The maximum flight speed is only Mach 2. The Mach 6 tests have already been passed; there's no need to take the risk.
When Dean Miao heard that Su Lin wanted to increase the wind speed to Mach 10,
He quickly ran to Su Lin's side.
This wind tunnel test is to test the engine's limits under extreme conditions.
What if something goes wrong at Mach 10? Wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?
"Who told you this engine was designed for the JX-10?"
Su Lin looked at Dean Miao.
"Isn't our project the engine development project for the JX-10?"
If not for the JX-10 series fighter jets, who would use them?
