How is China's current progress on ceramic blades for turbofan engines? When can its mass adoption be expected for Chinese warplanes and civilian airliners?
correct.
Consensual tech transfer.
These are gas turbines with kinda piddling power levels for power generation.
You would think a WS-10 engine derivative could do this. Well I guess the deal might make sense for that particular Chinese company.
I did not even know MAN made gas turbines. They were certainly not a major player like Siemens, GE, Hitachi, or Ansaldo.
The whole business is in a major slump worldwide as it is, GE is hemorrhaging losses.

In march 2020 ,China Aerospace Studies Institute(CASI), USA published a research paper titled "China’s Aeroengine Industry" where they claimed that the WS-10 engine had a TBO of 500 hours only. Today in published in Business Insider claimed the same info picking up reference from Center for Strategic and International Studies, US which in terms also used CASI's claim from march 2020 about WS-10 engine as a reference. So , is it true that WS-10 engine's TBO is only 500 hours ?

First thing first welcome to the forum bro hope you enjoy your stay here, second please read the whole thread, the one you mention is the first gen WS10, the A to C version had been improved on dramatically that base on @sunnymaxi info a 2000 TBO is the bare minimum with max up to 4000 TBO.
With WS15 coming to service, you bet whatever technological breakthrough will be applied to the WS10 family.
It's business hours trolling, if you know what I mean. I wonder what the comp and benefits are like. Probably not good, based on what we've been seeing.
