Yes.
F119, YF120, F135, and F136 are all counter-rotating engines. YF120 is variable cycle and the XA100 and XA101 are more advanced 3-stream variable cycle from ADVENT/AETP.
What is the estimated thrust of WS-15? I’m hearing anywhere from 16-18 metric tons.
I know they are. What's being discussed is using counter-rotating architecture between HPC stages, not just between fan and compressor (F100, F110, WS-10) or between LPC and HPC (F119, YF120, F135, F136).
We don’t even have official stats for WS-10C and have to extrapolate based on percentage differences from academic papers. Official stats for WS-15 will not be released for a long time, if ever.
We do actually have thrust curves for the WS-10C in a paper.
Right. We had to dig it up regardless.
ws-10c with TVC nozzle?
We don't know but increasingly likely that this was a picture of the WS-15.
Similar to F119 in terms of Thrust? or??
Material wise, i would be surprised if WS-15 isnt ahead of F119, i mean, even WS-10C was already using DD6, whereas WS15 and co should be using DD9 by now?
I remember some dude mentioned ws-15 will not be as fuel hungry as F119, so we should expect better FC compared to F119?
