Thank you I have read that, I was more interested in the details on the fixing of issues etc, and specifications. There are many sources in Chinese which is why I believe you will know more than what is on wikipedia.

and yes congratulations on the accomplishment, it is good to see that the biggest issue in self reliance in the air force is being over come at amazing speeds.

Some quotes from the article

"Taihang has been in development for over 30 years, and the lack of know how greatly delayed the engine."

"when it first flew on the il-76, it has already been in development for a decade plus."

"There have been over 200 problems that faced the engine, between 2009 and 2012, over 30 J-11Bs were stuck in factory with no engine."

"there have been many issues, 5 take offs with 3 incidents. Another time, parts started to fall out of the engine, sudden stop of engine also happens now and again and almost put the whole project into jeopardy."

"Taihang engine was shown on the image taken by P-8 of America, which means the engine is operationally ready."

Initially, the Taihang engine got some issues in the quality control on the mass production, because we lacked the skilled assembly workers in order to make sure that every engine got the same quality.

Now, this problem has been fully solved and we have trained with more skilled workers, hence the production goes up.

China is suppose to master the art of engine manufacturing sooner or later. I have used the word art as its more than just a capability to make sound engines. Kudos to the companies involved.

Is J-11 D using this engine ?

Congratulations again on this enormous success, it will mean no more dependence on Russian engines and make the PLAAF grow even faster.

Yes

Is J-11 D using this engine ?

I think it uses the WS-10B.

Same thing is gonna be the case with us. We'll have to struggle a lot with the Kaveri until one day we fix most things. After that it'll become mature quite fast.

Yes

For the PLAAF and PLAN, the WS-10 series turbofan engine is now gradually replacing the AL-31 series.

Most recent military drills were all involved with the WS-10 series turbofan engine.

A bit off topic, but Indian armed forces are not interested in home grown projects. The investment in the engine project has been small and there is no real interest to pursue the engine in any way, relegating it to the lesser powered unmanned designs where again faults will be found and a foreign engine introduced.

The good news is that there is constant research into more engine types, stronger and more efficient, which will yield results. The trust that the Chinese government has on its designers is wonderful to note and will lead to more engines which will make heavier, faster planes possible.

Good bye! Russian engines!

Naaa....IAF is very interested now. It's primarily the cost thing. 20 billion for Rafale, 20 billion for FGFA, they just can't keep the squadron numbers if they keep importing. And the Navy is presenting a clear example of what can be done if you focus home grown. Their budget is the least yet they now have aircraft carriers and a strong nuclear submarine pipeline. That's coz a lot of it is being built in Inida. IAF were just not confident. But I think now they're getting more aggressive, especially after how the IAF LCA has been in so much trouble while the Navy got a very specific product for a specific requirement within the timelines. It requires a change in mindset and I think the forces at long last are going through that.
