Chapter 280 New Ducted Engine

The next day, according to Wu Hao's arrangement, several people first used the morning time to complete the aircraft model production and flight test video shooting. In the afternoon, they came to Wu Hao's office to talk about improving the electric ducted engine.

After thinking about it, Wu Hao decided to change the original deployment. He investigated the aircraft model market and found that it is very unreliable to rely on gadgets to make money during this period of time, but doing high-end air model live broadcasts can gain a lot of fan traffic, and also It is more in line with the expectations of my pre-research ducted engine project.

Therefore, he decided to abandon the fuselage and focus on developing the engine. The model for shooting the video is purchased from outside, or the existing model is enough to demonstrate the flight performance.

"The plan you submitted is not what I want. Why can't I design a ducted engine with multi-stage compression fans?" Wu Hao proposed what he wanted.

"The multi-stage compression fan can only be a turbojet, it can't be driven by electricity!" Xu Longfei replied helplessly.

"Well, you made this ducted engine for video and performances, and developed a multi-stage fan ducted engine for me. I don't need it to be installed in the sky. I want to see how much thrust it can provide. "Wu Hao insisted on what he wanted.

"Mr. Wu, the engine you want needs to be redesigned by engine professionals, because the air compression data, bypass ratio, number of stages of fans, number of fan blades, and size of fan blades need to be calculated by professionals. It can only be obtained later." Xu Longfei hastened to explain that if such an engine is to be developed, the investment will be calculated in millions, and if it cannot fly by then, the gain will not be worth the loss.

"Li Ming graduated from an aero-engine major. He should be able to calculate these data. I can also provide simulation design software support. You can design in the virtual space first, and then use the 3D printer to try out the prototype. Remember that I don't need it for now. Let it fly, the main thing is to verify the feasibility of this design, and then invest time and energy to continuously improve it, understand?"

"In terms of cost, you don't need to worry. The 2000 million capital injection is real, and there will be no less money. You should first make a plan, make a plan according to the plan, and develop according to the plan."

"By the way, I found a sample picture, take a look."

Wu Hao found several pictures on the Internet, which are used for shaftless pump thrusters of ships, which belong to electric propulsion engines.

"Boss Wu is for boats!" Xu Longfei was a little confused.

After seeing the picture, Li Ming had a flash of inspiration and said, "Old Xu, don't complain, I know what Mr. Wu wants. If this structure is adopted, I will be more confident in making this engine."

Xu Longfei was a little surprised, "Are you sure you can control this structure?"

"Yes and yes, this structure is actually simpler. If the cost is sufficient, and the magnetic levitation technology can be used, it will be more perfect. The rotor can realize bearingless rotation, and there is no bearing friction under high-speed rotation, the noise will be greatly reduced, and the maintenance will also be improved. Great improvement, but for the time being, the cost will be high.”

Li Ming knew about the engine with this structure. He had seen a sample of a single-stage fan in the laboratory, so he knew the principle and structure of the engine.

"But here, I want to remind Mr. Wu that the advantages of this type of engine are low noise, space saving, and large fan blade area. The disadvantage is that it is limited by battery performance. This type of engine has low power and insufficient thrust-to-weight ratio. As a new concept The engine can be played with, but it is not practical, and it will definitely not be able to fly.”

Things are good things, but they cannot be put into practical use under the current conditions. Li Ming thinks that this is a money-burning business.

"I've already said, don't go in if you can't fly for the time being, first make a prototype, use the magnetic levitation technology you just mentioned, and then use carbon fiber blades and a carbon body shell. I want to make it both light and powerful. You guys Be bold and get this engine out of me as soon as possible."

Wu Hao is sure about the matter, regardless of the cost. This is one of the key technologies. If the graphene battery can be successfully developed, this ducted shaftless engine cannot delay the project.

In the eyes of others, his actions are very incomprehensible. On the premise that there is no breakthrough in key technologies, he dares to invest huge sums of money in the pre-research of the entire project. The risks caused by the uncertainty will be very huge.

However, with systematic guidance and the memory of his previous life, Wu Hao firmly believes that it is right to do so, just like in the desert, you already know the location of the oasis, others do not know, only you firmly go in that direction, No matter what difficulties you encounter, you can lead everyone to victory by not wavering.

"Then let's do it. I will design the engine these two days, Lao Xu and Lao Lu, you two will help me, and the rest will do the aircraft shooting video performance." Engine design is Li Ming's main job, involving In this field, related work will be arranged by him.

"By the way, Mr. Wu, you said that virtual space can be used to design aviation parts? Can you let us experience the relevant software, we have never seen such advanced technology in college!" Xu Longfei was very interested.

"Of course, but the parameters of the parts inside need you to make models yourself. I will send someone to help you familiarize yourself with the software and complete the design work. Come with me, and I will take you to meet someone!"

The design of cloud appliances has been virtualized. On the basis of this software, the design of aviation equipment can be realized, but the relevant models need to be redefined and developed.

Gu Fan is in charge of this part of the work. If this project is included in Gu Fan's supervision, he will receive more technical support.

After all, in Gu Fan's work area, there are mature tools and experience in 3D printing equipment, application and processing of various materials, and sharing these resources can not only save money, but also improve work efficiency.

"This is the vice president of Haotian Technology, Gu Fan... He will arrange the equipment and tools you need to use. This is the work area. You should familiarize yourself with the environment here first." Wu Hao said to the five people.

"Great, most of the processing equipment is here... Wow, even CNC machine tools and large 3D printers are available, yes!" Xu Longfei said excitedly.

The five began to visit Gu Fan's work area.

"Gu Fan, these guys need to use some equipment, and also need to use virtual design software to design things. Please help me arrange it so that they can use the software and tools as soon as possible. Through virtual technology, part of the development cost can be saved. "

"Don't worry, I'll find someone to take them...but the equipment here is fine for model airplanes, but it's absolutely impossible to make a real airplane." Gu Fan thought he had better remind Wu Hao.

"I didn't want them to design a real plane!"

Wu Hao has his own plan. Before he is sure, he will only do the project in the form of play, and burn money to do some pre-research work.
