Chinese Aero Engine information thread

[Figaro]

An expert from the Chinese engine industry stated that in 2010 that China was 30 years behind the US in engine technology. They expect to eliminate the gap by 2040.

China does not have to match the US ... as long as they can achieve self sufficiency for aero engines across all types of aircraft, then matching the US is not necessary. But yes, the gap is shrinking fast for sure ...

20 years behind the U.S after WS-15 is what those people from institutions generally believe``````its no easy pass mate, no short-cuts in turbo engine field


the total number of J-20 and J-20A would be in 300 - 400 range, WS-15 fitted J-20B would have similar number in total

What is the difference between J-20 and J20A ? J20A will be fitted with ws10 engines?

Do we have any guess what is the production rate of J20 now and in the near future?

Chinese aero engine is a Devine engine and will remain in heaven even after earmarking 16 bn USD.

And how is the magnificent Kaveri engine doing *cough* *cough*. Don’t criticize others for running too slowly when you yourself cannot even walk.

Making fun of the Chinese engine tech from an Indian guy is just asking for self humiliation. Maybe he should've compared the number of DDGs the PLAN launched to Indian navy. Oops.... never mind.

But India can make her cows fly. They don't need engine.

A rumour that the WS-15 will be flight tested on a J-20 soon. I don't know how reliable Oedo is as a source, but he's always posted nice pictures.

Anything with Minnie Chan's name is almost guaranteed unreliable ...
