Chinese Engine Development

Looks like next gen superalloy turbine blade with TIT 2300K is nearing mass production thanks to this unique maglev VPIC furnace developed by this company. Maglev means zero contact with the crucible during melting/casting

Well yeah that’s Russia.

Dear friend, Russia is not the USSR. Its production and personnel capabilities are far lower than they were then and many times lower than China's. Those 5 years seem like a miracle to me, even if they had better starting conditions. By the way, they are still very good at engines, aren't they. Still ahead of China, although not by much. Never underestimate the Russians. When needed, they can do miracles. I'm glad that this can be said about China for a long time now.

You mean they are like your name? lol

CMIIW, 2300K tops the highest in the world today.

its all about serial production and commercialization.. i believe USA also has higher material but most likely for next generation machines.

China also successfully developed next generation thermal barrier coating for CMC blades with TIT over 2400k-2500k. China has achieved this with Rare earth elements.

we are heavily investing in material science. China is the global leader in material science research papers.

NPU has demonstrated EBC-coated SiC/SiC CMC (2D-SiC/BN/SiC) at temperature of up to 1800C. Studied under what condition and how the tear in the CMC is happening. This is positive research for next gen aeroengine & hypersonic vehicles.

Are they now? I feel like we can no longer claim this as of at least 2023 since the WS-15 was shown being tested on a J-20

Yes, it´s difficult to accept the statement that "Russia is better than China" at engines. I don´t think that has been true for years.

 

[Deino]

In Russia it typically takes a year or less.
They already flight tested it. I assume it passed the flight tests and they just need to correct deficiencies and certify the production process.

Is this a joke?! When was the last time the certification of a new high-end engine took place in Russia and when did this last take place in the announced time?

Don't get me wrong, but if serious, then look at every modern designed civilian engine and even more, what about the AL-51 announced for years? Nothing...

So to Claim, China is still behind and in „Russia it typically takes a year or less“ is purely a joke.

If you want to know who is currently at the forefront of engine design, just look at commercial engine production. That is dominated by GE/CFM, Pratt and Whitney and Rolls Royce. GE currently has a goal of delivering around ~2,500 LEAP engines per year (they delivered around ~400 last quarter).
