Y-20 heavy transport aircraft News & Discussions

[S. Martin]

The diameter of this mysterious engine looks much larger than russian D-30KP, does this mean its target thrust will be much bigger than D-30KP? Or at least potentially?

any one have cargo bay pictures?

Come on ... show us finally a Y-20 powered by a WS-20 !

If they manage to get the WS-20 working on the Y-20, it'll be a major step for Chinese engines. You don't put a engine on such a big plane, if you don't have faith that it will work 100% of the time...or at least 99%.

Another thing to consider, it will also be an indirect boost for China's domestic civilian aviation industry.

Your logic looks funny. Didn't IL-76 itself a big plane？

Nah - as the Y-20 needs 4 engines then you can afford to take a greater risk as the failure of 1 or even 2 engines will not mean the loss of the plane.

Didn't the IL-76 have decades upon decades of experience behind it?

So？

 

[That Guy]

So？

My point exactly.

 

[Deino]

Concerning the WS-20 & Y-20 I'm sure at first we will see one of the prototypes with one engines replaced ...

[BoQ77]

Do you have the interior picture of Y-20 ?

D-30KP-2 : Max thrust 12500kg
WS-18A : Max thrust 13200kg (Up rated version of Russian D-30KP-2) better fan blade and higher compress pressure.

But Y-20 smokes alot.Less than JF-17 tho.

YEs yes, Pakistan can make what smoke less engine? Maybe Pakistanis can make Y-40 or WS-99 super engine?

Why are you entertaining an Indian false flagger....... by the way...... just an FYI, be very careful ridiculing Pakistan, friend or no friend, you don't want to be on our bad side either...............
