I wish they hadn’t copied yet ... And then they’ll sort it out a couple.

[crazyrom]

They have already tried, there are not enough brains, therefore they are buying from us. The glider was copied, so they do it themselves, and the engines are weak.

[Check]

if they do not, then they are not Chinese))

apparently they still can’t do it ..

[afire]

guys, one of the three important things that the Chinese cannot reach is alloys, you can’t make it out and spectral analysis is unlikely to help)))

[Tsim]

That is yes. This is the last line of defense against these photocopiers

[Wedmak]

Alloys from which turbine blades are made? This seems to be the most important and complex element of jet engines.

[Ross]

Wedmak,
It's like when the blacksmiths kept the secrets of their steel. Remember katana or damask sabers? And in Russia once there were such traditions.

[Wedmak]

Yeah. The technologies for producing damask and damask steels were reproduced and restored in Russia back in the 18 poor year. And about Japanese katanas there are more myths than real information.

[Ash]

And I heard that in these engines the most important and most difficult element to manufacture is the rotary nozzle.

[Wedmak]

And where is the rotary nozzle? However, the turbine blades work in hellish conditions, even a solid alloy does not stand up, so they have a very cunning design. Repeat which very few can still.

[jagdpanzer]

sooner or later and get to the rafts! there are 1,5 billion of them for any wise guy there ..
