China has successfully tested thrust vectoring engine

42
In China, for the first time, successful flight tests of an engine of thrust vectoring TASS message portal Sina.



The engine was mounted on the J-10B fighter.

Testing of the Taihang engines with UHT on J-10B fighter jets will provide valuable experience and data that will be used in the future for practical use on the J-20 (China’s fifth-generation fighter)
the report said.

“Information about this modification of the Taihang engine has so far not been received much, however, it is likely that it used nozzle technology with an axisymmetric deviation of the thrust vector, which was previously reported. It allows you to change the thrust vector by 10 degrees in the vertical and horizontal planes, ”writes the resource.

At present, the development of the X-Numx generation J-5 fighter continues in China. In September, it was announced the arrival of this aircraft in service with the Chinese Air Force. According to a number of experts, Russian AL-20F engines were installed on prototypes, however, in the future, Chinese designers intend to replace them with their own counterpart - WS-31.

        all of their original developments were developed by someone else before them, and so in all sectors they put all the licenses and patents (though the stolen one does not always work like the original for them)

          Not at all. Even historians agree that gunpowder, rockets and wheelchairs are a Chinese invention. So all the firearms and missiles are stolen and slightly (very slightly) modified Chinese inventions. And no one, by the way, paid the license to the Chinese. Do not think of a license to take.

        Well, maybe I was wrong with that ... But in any case, they did not reach the original. Only 10 degrees mastered. On the Su-35 - 15 degrees max deviation.

          It does not matter that the nozzle deflection angle is smaller, it does not matter that the resource is much smaller. Most importantly, the Chinese have learned to make such engines themselves. Well they will change them more often, what's the problem? Much we began to produce from what they covered for us? We felt that it is easier to buy the left ways. The same turbines, for example.

              The problem is that the PRC already has this technology, and then it will just be dubbing it to the necessary parameters, because they first do it, and then they shout about success, and not shout about success and do nothing, like the oligarchy of the Russian Federation.

                        For example? The engines are old Soviet, there is no over-maneuverability. AFAR is questioned how strong. Stealth? Not a fact, because they have trouble with high-tech materials. List on what indicators it is 5 generations?

                      "List by what indicators is it 5 generation?" The question was asked and immediately put in ignore. In the spirit of the slaves of the oligarchy of the Russian Federation. The letter j in the fighter index in the PRC means adoption. It can be inferior in terms of inconspicuity, performance characteristics, weapons, super maneuverability and characteristics of avionics F-22, but this is not critical because it will be improved. China’s industrial capacities also make it possible to mass-produce these fighters for the PLA Air Force and for export abroad, and few can buy SSHM fighters, because they are particularly expensive.

                        The industrial capacities of China also allow the release of these fighters in droves for the PLA Air Force and for export abroad,

                        There is definitely no export. The Chinese themselves need, and the production of Chinese engines for them (WS-10A) is still quantitatively small, and the engines are put on 3 types of aircraft. When there is WS-15, then there will be even less of them. For their Air Force, they will produce massively enough, but still at a slower pace than the F-35.
                        It is important to note here that the PRC does not compete with us, but with the USA and satellites. So they still have room to grow.

          They did not copy them. It is physically impossible to get the AL-41F1S and copy them in a year. The development of Taikhan with OVT has been going on for a long time.
          As for the characteristics, it is definitely hard to say, but I believe that it is really inferior. Given that this is their first OB engine, it would be difficult to assume the opposite.

        Do you even know what product range is made in China?
        More than half of all automotive components. who go to the conveyor - Chinese.
        99% of auto repair parts are actually manufactured in China.
        China produces 700 million tons of steel annually, of which 100 million tons are exported.
        Each foundry in the world is trying to start its own factory in China, and accordingly shares the entire production technology with the Chinese.

        After 10 years - China will shoot so much that it will technologically exceed the order of America and Japan, and by 2 orders of magnitude Modern Russia

          People just have complexes. They can be understood. Even 30 years ago we were an industrialized power and looked at them with a smile. Now, it buys everything from them, including drills and hammers. There is something to be sad about.
          But it’s psychologically easier for people to deny reality than to realize that this is not the problem of the Chinese, this is our problem and it must be solved in our country.

            Excuse me. but I’m just a little “half-educated” I know how Chinese universities have been developing over the past 15 years ...
            Therefore, I give only 10 years ...
            And yes. Two orders of magnitude.
            They are the explosive growth of science and technology.
            With the new technological revolution, all previous world achievements are completed in one to three years, simply "walking in passing."
            They are moving toward a larger goal.
            Do not "catch up and overtake." and "to become utterly superior to all" ...
            Today, December 27.12.2017, XNUMX, a human head transplant operation is underway in China.
            This unattainable level is already absolutely for all physicians of the world.
            And this is not the Chinese (of course we understand this) level of technology - this is the level of their moral readiness for technology.
            They already consider themselves above all technologically ...
            And they are right.

    The article is a small mistake. On the prototypes of the J-20 were both AL-31F and Chinese WS-10A and even the prototype WS-15. But the "top ten" J-10 for a long time equipped with AL-31FN, only relatively recently and the Chinese engines began to put on the modification of the J-10B.
    The issue of starting production of the WS-15 remains open. The Chinese are not saying anything directly. Estimated time is 2019-2020.

    China needs to sell not ready-made products, but ready-made technologies. Every year, Chinese military technology is becoming closer in level to Russian. Another 3-5 years, and China will overtake us in the market of modern weapons. Therefore, it is now necessary to organize reliable mechanisms for technological cooperation. Then it is possible to really squeeze out not only the United States, but also create integrated missile defense systems and military-space systems. What immediately compel the United States to reconsider its views on withdrawing from missile defense treaties, INF Treaty and other agreements.
