new generation engine means, variable cycle engine ? if yes then i would say 2030. coz this project made significant progress in materials as per the news announced yesterday in material conference held in Xian.
Which materials and do you have a video?


Not really, he meant to say new-gen engine with T/W ratio > 12.
I *think* VCE might be used in conjunction with that new 4 stage compressor design. But they might be pursuing multiple paths and seeing which technologies are most ready when they’re ready to fly it on a new fighter design.


What’s the news on Ceramic Matrix Composites?

LOOL. but we believe. he is the member of China academy of engineering specialized in Turbofan. he first break the news of WS-15 flight testing.
Lmao I mean to say that I believe the word coming out from Liu Daxiang but not so much from 萌虎鲸. Also his claim of 100 J-20 per year.

I think especially today we have a lot of insiders who hear about a lot of different projects but may not know the actual intended roadmaps or project objectives set by upper level decision makers for stuff they don't directly touch. And that's in large part a function of how diversified the portfolio of projects have become in the Chinese aerospace industry. We used to get more predictive insider commentary because projects used to be more single track. Multi-track is a good sign for the health of the domestic industry but it's turning into a headache in terms of filtering out predictive accuracy of claims.
