Chinese Engine Development

I know that!

China know has the money and time, if China was willing to remodel the bakc of the J-10, China should do the same on the JH-7, the engine is dragging the aircraft's performance, and the JH-7 hasn't really entered full production yet and barely entered service, itz still early, and theres still time

China is better off with 50 underpowered JH-7 than 60, as an example

------------OR-------------

Screw it, and lets wish for the new project, this time make the aircraft use the WS-10A at least, we dont know if the Russians well provide the AL-41 yet

or do you have an article that they will?

found it
this is posted elsewhere too, it says it originates from Kanwa.

From the look of it, it probably wants to use AL-31 as the engine.

guys. the chinese have alreadyu deemed it too costly to fit the ws-10a on a jh-7a. maybe an rd-93 will do.

the al-41? china is coop in developing it. it came with the transpoirts deal.

holy crap, i forgot all bou the RD-93!

Yea China should, how much will it cost extra just for refitting the RD-93? in fact? does the airframe need to be redesigned?

not that much. the rd-93, or the indegedous copy ws-13, is smaller and more fitting than an al-31.

just read over this article again


It has this section:
SALUT的消息聲稱他們還在與中國合作進行改造AL31FN的工作。首先是延長髮動機的使用壽命﹐ AL31F/FN系列的使用壽命規定達到900小時大修時間﹐目前的工作首先是要保障這一質量標準﹐同時正在設計新的改良型AL31FNM發動機﹐計劃把推力在增加20％﹐達到15000級別加力推力﹐成為四代半戰鬥機的動力系統。

If the thrust of AL-31FNM is really 15000 kg, should we get AL-31FNM or stick with WS-10A for future? What do you guys think

weres this info from? how did the russinas make a 15000 kg engine? the al-31s on the flankers and j-10s had 12800kg, and ws10a has 13200-13800.
always go for the iondegedous engine.

I provided the link above, the kanwa link. How am I suppose to know where Kanwa gets its info from? All I know is that Kanwa is a relatively reliable pla source.

kanwas ok. but 15000 kg is not ok. if you can do that, you dont need al-41.

check
AL-31FM for su-35 has 13.7 tonne thrust.
AL-31FM == AL-35
AL-31 series isn't restricted to the 12.5 tonne thrust
