FC-1 with indigenous engine completed taxi successfully
According to "China Aviation News", the "Taishan" (WS-13) turbofan powered "Xiao Long" (FC-1) has successfully completed taxi.
If a WS-13 powered FC-1 can finish its first take off test and such design can be eventually finalized and tested, it would mark a significant progress on making FC-1 fully indigenous.
Not only that it removes the biggest barrier for FC-1 to enter PLA service, it would also remove limitations for exporting by not relying on imported engines.
My English is not that good. I hope this is understandable.
