Rumor that there is atleast two assembled lift system already.

Is that F135-pw-500 for F-35C or it is for PLAAF systems

I actually think the uploader is withholding even jucier information. The last image shows that the page before contains some sort of performance curve (most likely thrust), but he didn't upload it.

KP16 3D printed micro turbojet engine was tested on target drone 流星-260 last month. This is the confirmation of the test platform.

HBD Laser's 3D printer is used to produce the core components of a micro turbojet which has thrust of 49.55kg and 90000 rpm.

Not clear who the developer is here, but it's quite interesting to see more 3D printed turbojet engine. This one is even smaller than KP16.

Not sure for sure this is true but claim is here that WS9YZ (no AB version) has thrust of 5.6t with MTBO of 3000 hours and total service life of 8000 hours.

As a reference the original civilian Speys have a TBO of 4000 hours or 10 year limit, whichever was hit first.
