A tilt-rotor assembly on display. It could be a turbine-electric hybrid: we'll have to find out more once the Tianjin Helicopter Expo starts.
This has been confirmed to be a hybrid tilt-rotor drive system in the 100kW class, intended for VTOL aircraft in the 2- to 4-ton range.
AECC official website has updated.
The entire front page is covered in one sentence:-
"Providing a series of commercial high-bypass turbofan engines and corresponding services, becoming one of the world's leading manufacturers of commercial aircraft engines!"
one more thing, CJ-2000 is now officially CJ-2000A. it means we have now more than one prototype of CJ-2000A. looks like full scale testing is underway.
