Taihang engine performance data and comparison of foreign main engine aircraftU.S. Global Strategic Network carried an article saying that China believes in the next 5 to 10 years from the engine of the Russian military dependence to independence.The article said that in today's China bought from Russia two engines: the value of $ 3,500,000 of the AL-31 (with the Soviet Union -27/30, F -11, F -10) and the value of $ 2,500,000 in RD-93 (A m Grid -29 RD-33 fighter used an upgraded version of the engine), RD-93 was jointly developed by China and Pakistan for a similar level of U.S. F-16 JF-17 fighters.The article mentioned the same time, Chinese engineers are already hard to master engine manufacturing technology, the development of a similar aviation engines AL-31F, China Development WS10A engine, also developed WS-13 RD-93 engine to replace the engine. China introduced the absorption of foreign (engine) technology has been some years, though (this work) does not always succeed.Article goes on to say that over the past decade, China has invested heavily to develop an engine manufacturing capacity, with the Russians, then the development of engine design capability and engineering problems encountered in the process as similar to the Chinese people also face the problem.The article also summarizes the U.S. media that China Aircraft Engine R & D has several advantages. First, the Chinese understanding of the mistakes the Russians that year, which can avoid a lot of similar mistakes; Second, China also has access to a better way to Western Manufacturing Technology; Finally, China has the Soviet Union do not have a condition that is available in the market economic environment in China manufacturing capabilities to develop their own engine, and the Soviet command economy by 70 years (planned economy) the fetters of different market environment for the China R & D engine more efficient.
Interview: is developing more advanced engine than the Taihang engine production platform. Respondents were mainly responsible for human research and development company.
Reporter: Can you tell these engines under the current exhibition?
R & D company: We are now doing? Select several core machine platform, the core unit selection of the most difficult, increase the number of low pressure, or different voltage to form a different engine. In the future as the building block the formation of the structures.
Reporter: There is no production of these aircraft engines?
R & D Company: The aero-engine technology is still in the validation phase.
Reporter: Taihang engine and advanced degree, compared to how it compares?
R & D Company: Pacific Bank in 2006 to attend conference, which is in validation phase. Although not as too much on the line of thrust, but the platform more advanced and bigger point of the engine, flow size bigger point, the thrust will go up.
(Interview with text based on conversation Essentials finishing)
China Aviation Industry Group entities this year, the Taihang engine into a very eye-catching position, which is a self-confidence, allegedly the most advanced third generation machine-made F-11B and F-10 had already verified the test equipment (exclusive photos, in the military to allow the case Netease reference to the photo)
China Aviation Industry Group presented a series of new platform development unit of the engine
Air show star, made three generations of fighters did not exclude the use of F -10 thrust line of more powerful engines made too
