Interview with AVIC president regarding domestic WS-10A engine

[aliaselin]

Why the service life is shorter for the new version? Because of increase in thrust to 14 kn?

The guy has made it clear: similar to F-414 strategy. There are two new types of F-414: F414-EDE and F414-EPE; with F414-EPE has larger thrust while F414-EDE longer life.

Summary

-new variant of WS-10A engine reaches 14000kg thrust and has certify

New version of the WS-10A is almost as powerful as the 117s engines.

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

New version of the WS-10A is almost as powerful as the 117s engines.

This is the most powerful normal Taihang engine, but the Taihang engine used by the J-20 is a highly modified one, which only has the limited production.

This is the most powerful normal Taihang engine, but the Taihang engine used by the J-20 is a highly modified one, which only has the limited production.

And limited lifespan too which is 1500hrs compare 4000hrs of WS -10a with lower thrust.

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

And limited lifespan too which is 1500hrs compare 4000hrs of WS -10a with lower thrust.

Don't worry, the WS-15 will have the longest lifespan as it is a whole new design.

New version of the WS-10A is almost as powerful as the 117s engines.

Slightly above 14 tons of thrust。

 

[帅的一匹]

Some guys from CD forum has asked the deputy chief designer of Taihang themselves, and the editors is not very professional so made some mistake about the report:


Lifespan of 1500h is a new 14T version of WS-10A, while the old one has a lifespan of 4000h

You mean they sacrifice the life span for more thrust?

 

[帅的一匹]

Don't worry, the WS-15 will have the longest lifespan as it is a whole new design.

this new WS10 engine must be a stop gap for J20, WS15 will be with much longer life span.

 

[Beast]

You mean they sacrifice the life span for more thrust?

Yes, it's an interim engine for J-20 before WS-15 is ready and takes over it.

Aka WS-10G

我的天哪！
推重比15 是什么概念，画面太美我不敢想。

 

[帅的一匹]

Yes, it's an interim engine for J-20 before WS-15 is ready and takes over it.

Aka WS-10G

Those Indian members who hype that J20 CAN'T FLY without AL31F could shut their mouth.

Summary

-new variant of WS-10A engine reaches 14000kg thrust and has certify
-WS-10A has started mass equip of domestic aircraft like J-11B, J-10B and Y-20 transport aircraft.
-WS-10A still not fully equipped all domestic aircraft is becos many AL-31 engine lifespan has not used up.
-lifespan of WS-10A is 1500hrs and schedule maintenance every 300hrs
-China aeronautic engine technology gap with US is less than 10 years.

After recent accident of a J10B, all Chinese members said that there's only 1 J-10B equipped with WS-10A.
So highlight text is just a guess or statement?

You don't believe? Next year the answer will reveal. And it doesn't matter J-10 will equip with domestic engine anot. Domestic engine has already equipped our flanker family. It just a matter of time J-10 will have the domestic engine. Russian can stop supplying engine. It's Only their business to lose.
