Zhuhai Air Show 2014 - Updates & Discussions

[cnleio]

China want marketing their armored vehicles and artilery in an Air show ?
or they means those could be airborned ?

They can fly, when carried by Y-7, Y-8, Y-9, IL-76, Y-20 planes. Of course showing & selling them to foreign customers on this ZhuHai Air show.

Russian Su-27 made great affect to China. All useful fighters of China based on it.
Great design, and Su-35 is great too.

J-10A, J-10B, JH-7A also useful fighters in PLAAF.

Y-20 prototype still mounted with Russian engines means anything?

If China can't build Y-20 it means nothing, once Y-20 flying in the sky it means everything to China. "Made in China" strength will make Y-20 popular on the world. BTW China W-20 engine will ready soon for Y-20, D-30 not our choice.

As my previous estimation, J-31 would be more realistic aircraft than J-20.
Can tell more details on its engines, anyone? 31-001

The prototype using RD-93, J-31 compared with J-20 in China == F35 and F22. American never sell F-22, the same as J-20 in PLAAF.

Wish China could soon reach great achievement on turbofan engine.
You have so many aircrafts awaiting for domestic engines.

And foreign customers also think about it, if they are Russia haters.

Current development is optimistic, bro !

It's a time problem for China. PLAAF J-11 had installed domesitc WS-10A jet engines, the more WS-10As produce from factory the more fighters will install them in future.

Now Jet Engine Industry is the only weakness to CASC, Chinese can focus more energy to fix the problem. Until to 2020, u will see more types of "Made in China" jet engines for J-10/J-11/J-15/J-16/J-31/J-20 ... some engine projects had going many years, soon to reach the achievements in the near future.

RD-93 ... Yes. That's why the aircrafts smoky alot.

I wonder, even China achieved WS-13, which engines would be mounted to exported J-31 ?
WS-13 ? No, I think.

J-31 would never be a single-engine like F-35 with a reliable and powerful engine P&W F135 unless China could make a greater leap forward on engine.

Anyway, I still prefer J-31 over J-20 - an unsuccessful copy of 10 year served F-22.

Update a weapon system is easier than to build a new one, same to the aircraft. So China had spent years to make J-31 and J-20 here, the rest thing is updating them with new tech or new powerful jet engines ... all just a time problem in near future. WS-13 it will installed on J-31, Chinese happy to sell J-31 to foreign nations.


If u feel China can not make a successful & powerful jet engines for J-31 or J-20 ... it would sounds like China can not build a stealth fighter like J-31 or J-20, what Chinese need here is just R&D so oneday will get achievements again.

Y-20 seems quiet manouvable

What's the music playing there for ?

These will be eventually used to fuel the Chengdu J-10, right?

Yes, starting with J-10Cs.

China is on dam fire now. We are reaching full self sufficiency of our weaponry. I want to see the H-20.

The show is hardly scratching the surface of what China has in store now and even less, far less what it will in, say, 5 years.

Compare HJ-12 with Javelin

Want to see the Z-20 - helicopter - would be a game changer for our Air Assault Ops/

HJ-12 is far better. The bigger lens standards for brighter view through range finder and better performance at night for it collect more lights.

Okay, we should check who is heavyer, the lighter launcher is good to carry by soldier.
