Taihang engine is the first high-performance, high-thrust and afterburner turbojet engine with independent intellectual property rights in China, ending the blank of domestic advanced turbofan engines. Large thrust-to-culvert ratio, digital electronic control system, thrust reaching12000kgf-14000kgf (kg force 9.8N/Kg).
At present, it is mainly used to equip China's third generation high-performance J-1 1B fighter. At present, a large number of domestic J- 1 1B fighters and domestic J- 16 fighters have been mounted.
According to different assembly objects, the turbofan/KOOC-0/0 series includes turbofan/KOOC-0/0, turbofan/KOOC-0/0A, turbofan/KOOC-0/0B, turbofan/KOOC-0/0C, turbofan/KOOC-0/0d, etc. Among them, the turbofan 10A is a new model specially designed for China to catch up with the advanced world level.
Taihang engine can not only be used as the power of fighter, but also the afterburning modification of Taihang engine with large bypass ratio can be used for bombers, and the afterburning type with large bypass ratio can be used for large transport aircraft in the future. Marine gas turbine derived from Taihang engine can be used as the main power of large surface ships such as destroyers. Moreover, during the development of "Taihang", the factory strictly implements the national military standards formulated with reference to the "American military standard system", and the reliability and service life of the engine are superior to those of domestic engines and imported Russian engines in quality. The successful development of Taihang engine means that the "heart disease" of domestic sea and air main battle equipment will be completely solved.
The birth of "Taihang" is also a process of forging top talents in China's aviation power research and development. China has begun to have a talent team and an innovative echelon capable of independently developing large thrust aero-engines. For China's aviation power industry, "Taihang" is just a starting point.
In order to speed up the development of turbofan 10 series engines, China adopts the principle of walking on two legs. The first is to introduce foreign mature core machine technology. In 1980s, Sino-US relations improved, and China imported an aviation land-based gas turbine equivalent to F 100 from the United States, which is one of the important technical sources of turbofan 10A core engines. The second is self-study and improvement. China has made full use of some achievements of pre-research (such as 1992 624 advanced core machine successfully tested, and its performance requirements exceeded F404 in an all-round way), and improved the imported core machine, which greatly changed the core machine technology and improved its performance.
On June 5438+1October, 2007, the domestic J-1 1B heavy fighter equipped with WS- 10 Taihang engine successfully completed the type review, which indicated that China had achieved a leap from medium thrust to large thrust in independently developing aero-engines. Leap from turbojet engine to turbofan engine; The leap from the second generation engine to the third generation engine has far-reaching historical significance for China's national defense industry and national defense modernization.
Only the United States, Russian Federation, European Union and China can develop the third generation turbofan engine. The successful development and publicity of Taihang engine has proved to the world the overall strength and technical level of China's aviation power industry, and it also means that China can achieve autonomy in major power fields related to the national economy and people's livelihood, such as the improved large bypass ratio turbofan engine and marine gas turbine based on Taihang core engine.
