Pretty sure it's Maya; his old avatar was of a Russian girl and his new one seems to be similar. The name is interesting too. VCE also stands for variable cycle engine, something that has been researched quite extensively among Chinese academic journals. Could the WS-15 be a VCE engine?Something potentially interesting: I'm pretty sure that maya/aliasmaya now posts as vce on cjdby. So far, I haven't come across him writing anything totally new or unknown, other than mentioning 2025 as a target for the WS-15.
A couple of threads he's posted in:
Anyways, several interesting points ...
- The high bypass WS-15 core variant has a corrected airflow of 35 kg/s
- WS-15 has a 6-stage high pressure compressor
- He also states "试验科目就多了,总的分成地面台架试车和高空台模拟试车两大类,首飞前的整机试车估计需要两三千小时吧" in response to someone asking him how much longer will it take before first test flight.
