Hong Kong media:

5 test flight pilots died while a team of electronic experts lost when the military transporter crashed yesterday.

Grieve condolence to the families whose dear numbers were lost, it’s a sad day for China’s military aviation.

400 only? Much more than that… I can assure you~ 😉 😀

You are wrong Japan at this moment is testing the XF-7 new jet engine totally designed in Japan and also has the T-4`s engine

Ukraine is building engines to power the Yak-130 and the new An-124 that just reopened production for Russia and Ukraine, several Antonovs use Ukrainian built engines.

…

Well, well flogger, nice to see u again the XF-7 new jet engine is nice but Isn’t it currently still under test? How come you compare a non-certificated airliner engine to the certificated fighter engine already in production then draw your marks saying who at most is on par with who?

The WS10A takes a lot of references to CFM56 commercial airliner engine, agree? If Chinese could work out such an airliner engine core to something sophisticated enough to power highly agile Su27, then it should be easier for them to work out XF-7 grade WS10 variant that can power Transport plane or so.

The WS-9 developed by Chinese is based on Spey 202, contrary to the Japanese copy of F100, the WS9 is made on 100% locally sourced components, no single bolt or nail relying on Britons.

Then in the Fighter area, let’s compare the turbofan Engines developed by Japan & China:

——————————China————————-Japan

13000kg T/W 7-8 grade:——-WS10A————————F100-IHI
9000 Kg T/W8 Grade:———WS13(under-develop)————-?
9000Kg grade:—————–WS-9
Middle Thrust T/W 10 Grade:—–CJ2000 Core Engine————- ?
———————————( Ignited in April 2005)

Small turbofan for missiles:——WS-500————————–?

Guys, Time for the VOICE OF HAWKS”

Report To the Congress: Military Power Of P.R.China

where are IHI from Japan?

:confused: China is at the level of Japan not of England or France in Engine technology and even Ukraine has more complex technology the vast majority of engines made in China are licensed built derivatives with a few examples of engines made domestically in fact the Kunlun was the First engine made in China the rest are basicly copies, and the WS-10 still has foreign input 😉

No, Japanese yet to show to others where their 100% home made Turbofan fighter engine is. The IHI F100 is still counting on 30-50% of components shipped from his Uncle Sam

Here is 1 thread I opened some time back maybe useful FYI.

Do You know WHY the C-17 visited Chengdu ????

En-route to your homeland for the airshow

Here we go. This is an early schematic of the J-10’s hardpoint. It was posted circa 1999/2000. There were a lot of doubt as to whether the schema was correct because we did not see the hardpoints on the main fuselage (the pair behind the inlet and another pair near the rear.)

The inlet hardpoints are proven by this picture and a fuzzier earlier one. The rear hardpoints have not been verified yet.

Some more detailed Pictures 🙂
