Huge news and no reaction to this?

Huge news and no reaction to this?

It's nice but (A) it's not the WS-15 and (B) we need to see the close-ups.

 

[Ali_Baba]

We need more pictures of it, to be sure it is not a photoshop..

Can you imagine the Y-20 with the Aviadvigatel PD-14 that have recently been testing on the upcoming Irkut MC-21.

Also, if China feels the pain regarding the engines for their Comac 919, should have the PD-14's.

Flight Testing took place on a IL-76.​

Why would China choose to be a white rat of Russia, just like India?

PD-14 corresponds to CJ-1000 in the Chinese aero-engine family, not WS20.

PD-14 is not expected to produce any more thrust than WS20. It has a higher bypass ratio than WS-20 so it's going to be more fuel efficient, but I can't recall military application of a turbofan with higher than 7 bypass ratio.

Can you imagine the IL-76 with the WS-20 that has yesterday made its maiden flight upon Xian Y-20. Also, if russia feels the pain regarding the engine development due to its serious lack of money, should have the WS-20's.

You have still immature jet engine industries dear

You still have immature jet engine industries dear, first make a decent low bypass turbofan, WS-10 have a relatively high bypass turbofan and your WS-15 project started in early 2000 and its still not finished, Russian have no money but they have lots of experience in turbofan tech, they are developing turbofan since mid 70s , then you were only copying old Russian/Soviet tubojets in that era

East Pendulum also confirms.

And one should know that the news is a real deal when both the venerable mainland China's bloggers Dafeng Cao and OedoSoldier tweeted the subject!!

Either one is already providing a good guarantee, when there are both of them, 100% manifests. ALL of these years I have never encountered a single miss of what each of them had posted!


And from Dafeng Cao @dafengcao on 2020.11.21:

4×WS-20 powered Y-20 made maiden flight today.

From Rupprecht Andreas Deino @RupprechtDeino on 2020.11.21:

Allegedly the first Y-20B (?) powered by four indigenous WS-20 high-bypass turbofan engines has made its maiden flight (or was at least spotted for the first time).

From Henri Kenhmann at East Pendulum on 2020.11.21:

Much awaited in recent years, a Y-20 equipped with 4 Chinese WS-20 engines made its first successful flight this afternoon.

The roll-out of this device would go back to August this year. For the moment the thrust of the WS-20 is estimated at 142 kN.

And from a comment at the post:
"Is 142 kN any good?" -- "20% more than D30"

Y-20B transport plane with WS-20 engine made its maiden flight today

The days of IL-76 transport jets in China is coming to an end since most of them are second hand refurbished ex-USSR era planes, there are not much airframe time left for them. By now there should be more Y20 than IL-76 in PLAAF service.

The stretched airframe version of Y20 (shown in previous Zhuhai airshow) should be the one on the horizon, now that the more powerful WS-20 engines are on line.
