SAC - FC-31 Grey Falcon Stealth aircraft for PAF : Updates & Debate

[Daniel808]

Is there any difference between WS13E and WS13IPE? @wanglaokan

IPE stand for Improved Performance Engine.
FC-31 V2.0 that flying yesterday use WS-13E Engine.
IPE is what we called it.

Current there is no demand of FC31 from PLAAF, so AVIC is in no hurry to spare resource on improving WS13 engine. Unless PAF presicribe the specification and engine performance! The status of FC31 is very embarrassed cause it just a programs funded by AVIC it's own. If Pakistan don't plunge in, the project might be tough to make an ends meet. It need investor. PAF still study the project, yet to make decision.

 

[Daniel808]

IPE means increased performance engine, which is totally bullshit. Shorter life span for bigger thrust. I think the current engine is till WS13A, and Ws13E is the final target. There is no WS13 IPE. Only in fancy dream.

You are wrong.
The one in FC-31 V 2.0 that flying yesterday is WS-13E/IPE not WS-13A.

If this is true, then a good news for both China and Pakistan. Means FC31 already has potential customers.

I'm pretty sure it could be delivered before year 2020, as long as PAF pushes SAC.

No news of agreement but if PAF decides to buy them then maybe we can get them around 2020
