Its Official: JXX is going to test fly in the next few days

[ChineseTiger1986]

I am sure everything would be ready before 2018.

Yeah the WS-15 engine project is going much more smoothly than WS10. Apparently that's because there is fewer corrupted bureaucrats and their lackeys standing in the way.

SAC is in charge of WS-10. Who is in charge of the WS-15?

Big shrimps on 9ifly (which has a good reputation) think Institute 624 (CGTE) in Sichuan is doing the bulk of the R&D.

As for overall project management, according to this poster

The WS15 project is directly managed by AVIC's engine division from Beijing.

no, SAC is not in charge of ws10 but liming is.

好，未来一个月可能是重要的时间，我们需要开一个J20的线程去见证历史？

What kind of stuff do they test for taxi runs?

WS-15 can not catch up with J-20 schedule, there will be a initial type J-20 either use rassian engine(99m2 most likely) or WS-10G(idea engine for J-10B) for test and small amount production. Due the engine difference, J-20 initial type will has some compromise on detail design, formal type will use WS-15

regarding with WS-15

1． 1984 start T/W ratio 10 turbofan engine technical analyse, April 1988 hold the pre-study meeting, 1990 WS-15 project formally launched
2． 1994 finish 6 different concept design. 1993～1996 start co-coperation will rassian( Due USSR turn parts, China recruit decent amount technician who work for former USSR.)
3． 1995 decide the final design.

14th April 2005 core engine test done

In 2006, China start use WS-15 core engine + WS-10 parts test the engine, and graduately replace WS-10 parts by WS-15 parts.

By now ,there is no true WS-15 exist, however WS-15 development is much more smooth than WS-10, because WS-15 is the first engine originally designed in China.(WS-10/WS-10A use CMF-56 core engine from Boeing 737)



Regarding with test engine WS-10G/АЛ-31ФМ2

Due J-10A suffer quiet a lot from low T/W ratio of AL-31FN, and engine failure. PLAAF need a new engine replace AL-31FN for J-10B. IF WS-10G can meet the schedure of J-20 then it will be the initial type engine, otherwise use АЛ-31ФМ2

 

[gypgypgyp]

WS-10G also the essential parts for when can J-10B get into service. PLAAF does not satisfy with АЛ-31ФМ2 performance, and АЛ-31ФМ3 is not ready for use yet. If J-20 use WS-10G in first flight, then J-10B will get into service at the mean time.

Doesn't it looks JXX

Doesn't it looks JXX

That's MIG-1.44. From what I heard Russia sold the plan to China during the 90s. I don't know how much it will affect the design of the J-XX.

I think it is fake, it can't look exactly like a F-22. But don't worry, it is coming soon.

the insignia on the plane is still russian... and the source of picture also indicates that the pic is posted by Russian Website (most likely taken in Russia Also)
