A team of scientists from the Technological University of Dalian, in China, has designed an ultra -granted cooling method for turbine discs used in aviation engines. Thanks to this development, The Asian giant seeks to extend the useful life of its enginesreduce the wear of key components and improve the general performance of its most advanced combat aircraft.
This new system uses a projected water fog at high speed that allows discs to cool at a rate of 673 ° C per minute, which represents a speed almost four times higher than that of traditional systems. According to publishes and the newspaper this technological progress would allow China to manufacture more resistant, efficient and capable of operating under extreme conditions, such as those required by hypersonic flights or the furtive missions.
Shi Jinhe, leader of the project, ensures that this innovation satisfies the requirements of future generations of aviation engines, as they are specially designed for aircraft Be able to avoid radar systems enemies In addition, when combined with new generation superletion materials, the system not only improves the durability of the engines, but also contributes to reducing their infrared signature.
During the tests, the system demonstrated its effectiveness when the turbine component core is rapidly and quickly, which increases its thermal resistance. This advance could have important implications for engines equipped with combined turbine systems and Ramjetfor Maintain hypersonic speeds without sacrificing thermal stability nor discretion against enemy sensors.
Could be incorporated into the J-36
This technological advance could be incorporated into the development of J-36, the Chinese generation hunting. Designed by the Chinese Aviation Industry Corporation, the J-36 It aims to be the direct competitor of future American models.
Although Beijing has not yet revealed official details about this aircraft, media such as 20M They indicate that it will have a stealthy design, delta -shaped wings, internal winery for armament and autonomous flight capabilities. In addition, it is expected to be equipped with advanced sensors, have An estimated scope of 3,000 kilometers and be able to operate in network with drones and other fighters in collaborative combat.
