AES-100, a rare Chinese turboshaft engine with a clear TBO indicator
TBO》=3000 hours

It must be said that compared with the latest PT-6's 4000 hours and Arrano's 5000 hours,
the gap is still quite large. We need to continue to work hard.

Completing more than 3000h of TBO research experiments does not mean that its TBO will stop at the level of 3000h.

3000 hours is the figure reached some time during the development process BUT before the certification for operation whose figure is unknown.

This is a pretty big deal. Xi'an Aerospace Propulsion Institute (6th academy of CASC)

in June of a turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) engine that achieved world record speed and the shortest mode transition time (from turbojet to ramjet/scramjet(?) and back).

Anything on the naval variant of the WS-10 family? Characteristics like rough lifespan, thrust, reliability, anything?

It is an air breathing rocket engine. Paper from the institute. The turbine is not in the path of combustion unlike a turbine engine.

Another confirmation from Orca that WS-15 is on track to be in service/mass produced next year (IIRC he said Q1 in some other places).
