Without Russian-made engine, is homebred opportunity for combat no good really?
As a result of historical reason, always be on the body of homebred opportunity for combat more or less can see in those days the shadow of Su Shi opportunity for combat, and to today, the very big factor that restricts development of Chinese opportunity for combat is aviation engine, having a problem so is, cannot China leave the engine of Russia really?
Russia is right recently the whole world purchased detailed list to have statistic 2017, however the AL-31F engine that China ever introduced disappears this inside detailed list first disappear. Want to know, chinese annihilate - 10 series opportunity for combat uses can be AL-31F series engine, introduce suddenly no longer, has China cast off the engine of Russia?
To the control of maintenance of Russia AL-31F engine and technology of give somebody a new lease on life, also be one of engine of for military use small reduction only just. Since new century, china began the full-scale development of engine, among them the most mysterious should count eddy fan engine. This engine is improved through ceaseless innovation, still export abroad number at present country, got of abroad user consistent reputably. Be China in the progress above engine of for military use, just had real bottom energy of life to depend on Russian-made engine no longer. So, was China cast off completely? The first batch of annihilate that nevertheless China develops - what 11B/BS opportunity for combat uses still is Russian AL-31F engine, when annihilate of equipment of air force big batch - when 11B, the problem that appears before WS-10A engine had gotten settlement in the round. Begin from 2017, about too the development process of travel is made public to report in great quantities, subsequently annihilate - dishabille of 20 archetypal machine had WS-10 IPE and WS-10B are started had trial flight, the effect is very ideal. Back-to-back, WS-10B engine was added to install vector spray pipe, pass annihilate again - 20 undertook flying experimenting, result effect is very ideal.
Nevertheless, the case that can begin to cast off Russia aviation engine on behalf of homebred opportunity for combat on real significance is annihilate 20 use homebred motor, once prospective WS-15 engine enlists in army formally, annihilate - the yield of 20 can will get frequent promotion, the eagle attacks vast sky will be a dream no longer. Accordingly, at present perhaps China did not cast off Russian-made engine completely, but, I believe this one day to be able to come immediately!
