Hearing this, Xu Chuan's eyes showed curiosity and interest, he nodded quickly, and asked with some surprise: "Is it so fast?"

Although we know that domestic research institutions have strong ability to expand based on ideas and theories, it is quite surprising that they can come up with the design of an aerospace engine so quickly.

After all, this is a brand-new engine design that is separate from the electromagnetic propulsion system. It needs to be redesigned and constructed in terms of strength, electromagnetic propulsion, thrust, structure, etc.

As for the design of aerospace engines, even if the theory has been completed, its complexity still often takes an extremely long time to solve.

Strictly speaking, I don’t know how long it will take to develop a brand new engine, because it requires a lot of preliminary basic research and key technology research.

If we only count from the time of project establishment, it is estimated that it will take at least ten years. If the technology is all ready, it will take about ten years to produce the product.

For example, the F119 turbofan engine installed on the F-22, F-35 and other fighter jets in the United States took a full eight years from development to design.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course, the design of aerospace engines is far from that complicated.

On the one hand, it has a theoretical basis and advancement, and can be transformed through Hall thrusters and electromagnetic thrusters.

On the other hand, it has no requirements for maneuverability, agility, high stealth, supersonic cruise and short take-off and landing capabilities, which are required by fighter aircraft.

After all, its current main purpose is the space shuttle, and the only requirement is that the thrust is large enough.

Without these stringent requirements, the design of the drawings is naturally much simpler.

However, the speed at which it was accomplished in just a few months is quite surprising.

Weng Yunzong said with a smile: "On the one hand, we have recruited many talents from major aerospace agencies, and on the other hand, Academician Yang Hong has given us a lot of help."

"Academician Yang Hong provided a lot of information and detailed data on the Hall propulsion unit on Tiangong, which greatly simplified our design work."

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "I'm sorry to trouble Academician Yang. Please take me to see the design drawings."

Academician Yang Hong is the chief designer of the Tiangong Space Station. He and the other party came up with the direction and design of the aerospace engine.

Weng Yunzong nodded, stood up and said, "It has indeed caused a lot of trouble to Academician Yang. He also refused the reward offered to him by the institute."

Xu Chuan said with a smile: "I had a conversation with Academician Yang before. If our aerospace engine is built, he hopes that it can be applied to his space station in the first batch."

Weng Yunzong suddenly said "Oh", nodded, and said with a smile: "So that's how it is."

He was still wondering before why the chief designer of the Tiangong Space Station was so concerned about their aerospace engine project. The original point was here.

To be honest, considering the current academic environment in China, it would be great to be able to exchange some things with you. Someone like Academician Yang who provides all kinds of information and technology for free is just dreaming without red-headed documents.
