Located in 30 Shuangqing Rd, 蓝旗营 Haidian District, Beijing, China – People’s Republic of China Tsinghua University is a major public research university in Beijing, and a member of the C9 League. It is also a member of Double First Class University globally..
On 24th January 2022 Monday it was the launching test maiden launching of the Tsinghua University “Tianxing” testing articles series of test rockets On the morning of January 24, 2022, the team of Professor Wang Bing from the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Tsinghua University conducted a flight demonstration test of a new engine independently developed. The successful ignition and stable work test within the altitude and speed range was a complete success!
The test shows that my country- China – People’s Republic of China has mastered the independent research and development and engineering realization capabilities of the new engine, and ranks among the top in the world in the field of new aerospace power!
At 11:30 in the morning, the test mission was carried out by the “Qinghang·Daxing” two-stage rocket. After the first-stage rocket is separated, the second-stage rocket pushes the mission stage engines to a predetermined altitude and speed. The engine air intake achieves efficient air intake, the fuel supply system sprays aviation kerosene into the combustion chamber, the ignition system starts smoothly, the combustion chamber and the engine work stably, and continuous thrust is obtained. The test was a complete success.
“Through this flight mission, we have obtained the influence of the changes of working environment parameters on the operating characteristics of the engine combustion chamber under real flight conditions, fully tested the real working characteristics of the engine, and verified the feasibility of the existing technical route, which is a new technology. Moving towards engineering and productization, it provides important test data and accumulates real flight experience. This achievement will further enrich the map of my country’s aerospace industry and has great strategic significance in terms of new power.” Wang Bing said.
Aggregating maximum energy in the shortest possible time, realizing a major leap from ground test to real flight test, and promoting the process of practical engineering application, it also fully benefits from the effective attempt to transfer and transform scientific and technological achievements. The flight test mission was named “Qinghang No. 1”. The overall scientific mission and test plan was independently proposed by the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Tsinghua University. Wang Bing led the Spray Combustion and Propulsion Laboratory to be responsible for the overall engine design. Tian (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. has completed the overall manufacture and assembly of the engine, and has completely independent intellectual property rights. Beijing Lingkong Skyxing Technology Co., Ltd. is responsible for the design of the flight vehicle and the implementation of the mission. The two parties work closely together to jointly promote the smooth progress of the flight test.
The new engine flight demonstration verification test of the Spray Combustion and Propulsion Laboratory of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Tsinghua University was a complete success. The test shows that my country has mastered the independent research and development and engineering realization capabilities of the new engine, and ranks among the world’s forefront in the field of new aerospace power.
