Even worse than I thought
Chinese Engine Development
- Thread starter jackbh
- Start date
We can say that China is competent with aircraft engines. I would wait until J-20 gets WS-15 to say that it has mastered jet engine tech. What is important is that now China could build as many fighter aircraft as it wants, as it has with the surface fleet post diesel engine breakthrough.
...post gas turbine engine breakthrough, I'd say.

Which breakthrough is being referred to? Could not come up with anything in search.

Welll, China has mastered jet engine technology long long time ago, perhaps what you meant was "master the most advanced jet engine technology" ... note : it is "turbo fan" anyway

QC-280 gas turbines series, and the smaller one QD-50 series
QC-280 has been used by many newer Chinese destroyers, I think from Type 052C+ to the latest one of Type 055

New video about Chinese engine development
Overcome all obstacles! Exploring the development history of China's aero engine
The main content of this program: Aeroengine is known as the "heart of the aircraft", and every major revolutionary progress made in the aviation field is closely related to the technological breakthroughs and advancements of aeroengines. The research and development of China's aeroengine was developed on a blank basis after the founding of New China. From the initial imitation, improvement, and modification to the independent design and manufacture of high-performance aeroengines, we have been overcoming obstacles along the way.

Is the QC-280 production fully localized in china? i read once that some parts were still produced in ukraine.
