"Traditional UAV aircraft engines all use turbofan engines. The principles of this engine are absorbed by the air intake, compressed by the compressor, and then fully burned into the combustion chamber and fuel, thereby generating high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which is then sprayed out through the turbine to generate thrust."

As Lu Zhou said, a holographic screen appeared in front of Lu Chen in the air, demonstrating the working principle of the traditional turbofan engine for him.

Although Lu Chen is a computer-based student, he is also a science and engineering department. With such a picture-based explanation, Lu Zhou instantly understood the operating principle of the turbofan engine that is rumored to be widely circulated from the outside world.

"Then, what is the plasma effect of EVAC?"

Lu Zhou became mysterious and tapped his fingers at the compressor and combustion chamber of the turbofan engine.

"Boss, look here."

The holographic image changed again, "...we changed this part here... and then changed this part into an ionization chamber, using the powerful electrical energy of lithium-sulfur batteries to create a super electric field to promote the ionized charged particles flow, thereby generating thrust."

After listening to Lu Zhou's introduction, Lu Chen was shocked. Isn't this Hall thruster?

No, it should be precisely a modified Hall thruster. Hall thrusters need to come with their own propellant as working fluid, and the thrust is so small that it is touching, usually only a few Newtons.

However, this electric aircraft engine can push the drone and fly in the atmosphere. It is conceivable how much thrust it has.

Not to mention the thrust of fifth-generation fighter jets, it is at least a thrust level in tons.

Lu Chen didn't understand the problem of being too professional, so he asked directly: "Just say, what is the maximum thrust and afterburner of this aircraft engine?"

"The maximum thrust of this type of electric aircraft engine is 75kn and the afterburner thrust is 107kn."

Luzhou is orderly.

"Is it so small?"

"Well......"

Lu Zhou thought Lu Chen would praise him, but he said this.

Because Lu Chen knows the thrust data of the fifth-generation fighter, taking the f-22 fighter as an example, the maximum thrust of its single engine is 104kn and the afterburner thrust is 156kn.

The f-22 fighter has two engines in total, so its maximum thrust is 2x104kn.

This is also the most powerful engine in the world.

Judging from this data, it is obvious that the electric aircraft developed by Luzhou is not as good as others.

Seeing Lu Chen not being discouraged and looking at him with a hard look, Lu Zhou almost wanted to vomit.

"Boss, the thrust of the electric aircraft engine we developed is indeed not as good as that of the f-22 engine, but the thrust-to-weight ratio of our entire machine is much higher than that of the f-22!"

Lu Chen is not a military enthusiast or an aircraft expert. He does not know much about this kind of thing.

Seeing that Lu Chen didn't say anything, Lu Zhou continued to explain: "The plasma engine we developed can make the thrust-to-weight ratio of the drone reach 20."

It seemed that Lu Chen didn't know what the thrust-weight ratio 20 was, Lu Zhou continued: "The thrust-weight ratio of f-22 is only 10."

The thrust-weight ratio, as the name implies, is the ratio of thrust and aircraft gravity. Under the same conditions, the larger the thrust-weight ratio of the aircraft, the stronger the performance of the aircraft.

"The Hummingbird UAV we developed has a maximum combat radius of more than 2,000 kilometers. The Hummingbird UAV weighs 200 kilograms and can carry up to two air-to-ground or air-to-air missiles, with a maximum load of 175 kilograms.

In addition, due to the super thrust of the plasma engine, the Hummingbird UAV can easily cruise supersonically. In addition, our Hummingbird UAV has the latest stealth material developed by our team, and its narrow body, it can be said that the Hummingbird UAV is the most stealthy aircraft in the world..."

Lu Zhou was impatient to show Lu Chen the various performances of Hummingbird UAV, because this was the drone developed by their R&D team for a year.

He was afraid that Lu Chen would be disappointed with this drone because of his unclear explanation.

But when Lu Chen heard this, he couldn't believe his ears.

Originally, he just wanted Luzhou's R&D team to achieve certain results in EVAC, so he further improved it with the help of a technology editor.

As a result, the other party directly fucked a king.

The maximum combat radius can reach 2,000 kilometers, supersonic cruise, the world's number one stealth capability, advanced electronic control system, fire control system, radar system, this is not the ultimate black technology of Lu Li's team - intelligent core.

That's right, Lu Chen has always believed that the T-1 robot is not a military weapon. This is why it is because of this.

The intelligent core is used in the military, and it should be unmanned military equipment such as drones, unmanned tanks, and intelligent missiles.

For example, this Hummingbird UAV is equipped with an intelligent core specially developed by Lu Li’s team for it, Hummingbird Intelligent Core.

With it, drones can be truly called drones.

Although drone technology in the world is now scattering, in fact, these drones should be called remote control aircraft.

What's the meaning?

In other words, all these drones require manual remote control.

Give an example.

Now there is a rainbow drone that needs to perform combat missions. First, the operator will set up combat targets on it. The drone will sail according to the combat targets. However, when encountering an emergency situation in the middle, such as an enemy plane or a missile attack, what should the drone do?

It will transmit the seen scene back to the base and wait for the base personnel to command before taking action.

In this case, the rainbow drone will basically be cold.

In other words, the intelligence level of drones in the world is infinitely close to zero.

In addition, there is also the situational awareness technology of drones, which is also far behind.

In short, modern drone technology is far less powerful than everyone thinks.

For example, the famous drone tactics of Aya and other countries before were actually because these two countries did not have any air defense systems and no air forces such as fighter jets.

That's why we can see these stupid drones ravaging military targets on the ground, making them arrogant.

If this is placed in a country with air defense systems and air force, the group of drones will be wiped out casually.

After listening to Lu Zhou's introduction to Hummingbird Drone, Lu Chen wanted to build hundreds or thousands of aircraft immediately to replenish his "weak" military power first.

"By the way, have you developed the missiles on Hummingbird drone?"

"missile?"

Lu Zhou was stunned, "There is no missile!"

"No missiles?"

After hearing this, Lu Chen's face suddenly turned dark, "What's the use of without a missile?"

He pointed to the prototype made in the laboratory and couldn't help but say.

Who knew that Lu Zhou was even more aggrieved: "Boss, I am a drone, and the weapon module is not my control!"

It seems...it makes sense?
