fine. i have already starting to think about next generation engine. LOLI meant enter service. Each production plane would have to undergo extensive test flights before delivery.
Hasn't this already been happening?I meant enter service. Each production plane would have to undergo extensive test flights before delivery.
That's 16 years delay, then about 8 years delay.I just realized one thing.
WS-10 was supposed to be J-10’s target engine. J-10 was first inducted in 2004 but WS-10 equipped J-10C didn’t enter service until 2020. It took 16 years for the J-10 to receive its target engine.
J-20, on the other hand, entered service in 2017. Looks like J-20B with WS-15 will be ready by 2025. This would mean that it took half the amount of time for the J-20 to receive its target engine than its predecessor.
Hasn't this already been happening?
sixth generation fighter jet timeline set in early 2030's. so by then engine will be ready as development has already begun with significant progress has been made.That's 16 years delay, then about 8 years delay.
So for 6th gen, we're gonna se maybe at most 1-2 years delay or none at all?
