Nothing as I didn't know about C919's timeframe. So 10 years mainly refers to retiring all 737s.

Boeing 737 is not fully fly-by-wire, which makes it really hard to be perfectly adaptive to engine enlargement, whereas C919 is completely a new design, not only having much bigger room for much taller landing gears, but also the flight control system is fully fly-by-wire, ie. software defined...

As far as I can remember there was a backup plan before, which was a WS-20 variant with further increased bypass ratio. For once it was exhibited named as SF-1. I can imagine if they used that design, the progress would be a lot faster and the engine can still be highly reliable, as it is rooted...

Must be an active device.

They are not rushing to release a new self-made engine. If they feel the needs, they will just do it. But as they can still source LEAPs, they'd like to buy themselves some time because they'd like to establish and run a complete supply chain of engines for civilian aviation in near future...

HQ-17's radars and fire control system is completely different to TOR.

Guam Express, excellent!

As far as I can see, J-20 and others are mainly for defensive use although some stealth hunting can be done. Same also applies to their naval fleets. Offensive operations with real significance will be done using new concept weapons, typically near space, hyper-sonic weapons. They have been...

Hi guys have any of you got some information about the upcoming JF-17 Block III from any Pakistani sources which you can share here? I am pretty interested in its design but it seems CAC in China has kept it as some very high secret.

Type 055 DDG has fully solid state, multi spectrum sensor arrays, which shows that the capability of upgrade by software and information fusion. While Zumwalt looks to have similar configuration, 055 has much bigger and powerful sensors, plus much more lethal ammunition. The very best super...

They had to abandon Zumwalt as it's been so useless now. US navy didn't know the world can change so rapidly.

They normally carry 3 when in training to minimise the wears.

Not sure if someone posted it before but I just discovered some interesting illustrations, which were recommended by some online friends, from a paper written by research fellows of Harbin Institute of Technology in 2012.

China should think about donating 10 or so Type 022 missile boats to Pakistan. That will greatly help achieve some sea power balance in the region.

LOL yes a lot of fun.

HQ-16 with only 3 canisters in a row loaded for training.

Many truly authentic and public sources showed that PLANAF's preference on a stealth fighter jet is still J-20, including a recent interview with a PLANAF pilot. So if PLANAF is not currently investing on FC-31 or the so called J-35, PAF would have to invest on it all on their own if they really...

That's a high resolution imaging radar, which can trace some large ships in real time.

The drawing itself might have shown a very creative design of deck layout of a future Chinese aircraft carrier, probably a nuclear powered one, which is really interesting and fun. So such posting should be highly encouraged. I personally don't like to have a debate again and again over future...
