Chinese jet engines thread
Good jet engines seem like a key piece of technology for China to acquire. Why don't we start up a discussion thread on them?
Here are some reference articles:
Maximum thrust: 132 kilonewtons (30,000 lbf) with afterburner
Bypass ratio: 0.78:1
Turbine inlet temperature: 1750 K (1,477 °C (2,691 °F))
Thrust-to-weight ratio: 7.5[12]
Powers: J-16, J-15, J-11, J-10
Maximum thrust: 51.2 kilonewtons (11,500 lbf) dry; 86.37 kilonewtons (19,420 lbf) with afterburner
