The problem is you see any possible questioning of WS-10 as an attack. Nobody is saying that we shouldn't expect reliability problems when a new engine comes out. That's all part of the process. Everyone is saying that it takes time for an engine to become reliable and mature as they are sorting out issues. This is all part of growth period in Chinese engine development. So when we say that WS-10 is not ready yet or that it hasn't reached AL-31F in flight envelope in exercises, that's simply showing where the engine is in the development process. For some reason, you take this kind of stuff peronsally and then cover yourself up by saying WS-10 is making great progress in reliability.

You need to put it in the context we were discussing the reliability of WS10. And I think you said something to this effect. "WS10 powered J 11 never participate in the exercise that should tell you something"

Why the need to make this sarcastic remark ? If that is not insinuating that WS 10 is not up to the job. I don't know what it is ?Sometime I have the feeling that you purposely interject yourself to buttress the argument of China basher using your "selective" knowledge of Chinese BBS that might not be true

No one in the right mind will push a new engine to the fullest envelope of operation. That is understood. It has nothing to do with engine reliability. It has more to do with prudence practice. And another thing comparing AL31 with WS 10 is like comparing 3 year kid with 18 years adolescent.
Al31 has 20 years of field operation and improvement over that time. WS10 only entered mass production in 2010! think about it

Another thing if you quote some one post please add the quotation mark that is what they are for
