CHINA Strategic hypersonic vehicle: 3D printing for 7 meters
2018-06-04 10:47:03
3D Printing Network reported on June 2 that China has recently achieved a major breakthrough in 3D printing. China Precision Group has successfully used laser deposition manufacturing technology, special connection technology, new stress relief technology, advanced scanning technology and other high-tech methods to successfully manufacture certain products. Ultra-high-speed aircraft up to 7 meters complex body frame beam. Manufacturing time was shortened from the traditional 2 years to 6 months. At the same time, it is also the world's largest body frame beam manufactured using 3D printing technology.
According to reports, the total length of the main body structure of the metal frame beam integrated aircraft is 7XXXmm, width 2XXXmm, and height 1XXXmm. In terms of appearance, this fuselage frame adopts a wing body fusion structure, and in the middle it seems to be able to see a large circular opening. It can be speculated that this may be a single-engine super-speed vehicle. According to the total length of the structure of 7XXXmm, the width of 2XXXmm to calculate, the final physical length of this aircraft may exceed 10 meters, the wingspan will exceed 4 meters.
It is speculated that this may be a hypersonic unmanned strategic reconnaissance aircraft with a speed of more than Mach 5 that we are researching. We can carry high-speed airborne radar for strategic surveillance and reconnaissance. At present, the military powers are highly competitive in the hypersonic field. The United States has been developing a SR-72 unmanned strategic reconnaissance plane with a Mach 6 speed.
China's research and development of ultra-high-speed aircraft fuselage frame beam, obviously is similar equipment. Moreover, due to cost reasons, long and complicated fuselage frame beams will not be used in the field of disposable hypersonic warheads or cruise missiles. They can only be reconnaissance or strike platforms.
