Chinese Engine Development

Blade warping under high-g is clearly related to material tech. WS10A and WS13 should share the same on that.
Not necessarily, if the blades are shaped differently. Anyways, I edited with a follow up. Pretty certain that quote is an old one that reflects outdated information.

I didn't say Russians went there to buy something , I said they went there to negotiate business deal . What deal could that be ? Pakistan wants more JF-17 . For that they need engines . Who could supply those engines ? Russia . Note : I'm not saying they finalized the deal .

Same logic could be applied to Chinese visit to Salyut . They went there to discuss possible business deal . Again , I'm not saying deal was finalized . What deal could that be ? Use your brain .

You could believe in high-level tourist visits if you want , but it doesn't work that way in real world .

Did the Russian buy JF-17? Clearly not. It is a pretty simple answer, so I don't really understand why you have such a difficulty with it. This example shows that visiting a factory does not automatically mean buying something from there. By the same reason, the Chinese visiting Salut plant does not automatically mean Chinese were there to shop.

So as you can see in 2013 Masalov recieves Xu and talk about cooperation but Masalov wants the Al-31-M2 for export who is to say Russia and China are not in talks about it or Masalov did not offer the engine to Xu?

i never said china was not buying engines, i said they'd rather not buy engines for the j-20. i don't doubt that masalov probably showed xu a selection of deals. what i do know is that the chinese will not- except as a last resort, put russian engines in any production version of the j-20, which seemed to be your major claim.

Please man with all due respect you are not logic

First Shoigu is a very high personality and Masalov too, he is the Director of Salut.

These two individuals are very high personalities one is the Russian minister of defense and the other the General director of Salut.


Now here is not important what every one thinks, but what the source says.

First i posted two articles one if the original official Salut source
This only says Masalov gave a speech during Xu`s visit to Salut highlighting the importance of collaboration in the building of Aeroengines between China and Russia.
Xu replies basically saying they will continue to do it.

The other source says they went Shopping for J-20 engines.

At airshows contracts are sign in 2013 MAKS was held, there is where the Chinese can buy anything Russia offers there including engines for jet fighters, the same happens during visits, here Salut does not report they signed a deal, just a visit by Xu to Salut.

Now about credibility, since you are guessing, your credibility is basically your opinion, you are not witness of what Masalov. Xu, Shoigu did talk, neither you are an insider at Salut.

You are just commenting and making a guess like i am.

Now the second source also claims things not written on Salut`s website, however i do not know if they wrote it as a guess or they have sources to claim they went to buy J-20 engines.

Now this second source you automatically claim it is unreliable, that is fine, from your perspective.
Does it mean is unreliable? i do not know but since it is not official it loses some credibility however i do not know what sources they have or if they are just guessing.


Now about 117 and Type 30 engine, they are not unrelated, why?

Russia has started to sell the 117S in Su-35 and Salut has AL-31-M2 which basically are for export since PAKFA flies 117 a much powerful version than those engines and next year they will get type 30 of 17 tonnes of thrust.

The question is is the Chinese website logic?

ask your self does China have an engine like 117S?
maybe, maybe not at least not available now on J-20s and much less in J-31 that seem highly underpowered.

Now i will answer you about Rafale, Rafale got the F404 in tests when they french did not have the M88 available.

Why J-20 can not follow that path?

I do not see any problem.

What about J-10 did not the Chinese use Al-31s when they could not supply a Chinese designed engine for J-10?
answer J-20 can follow the same path

Can you actually show me this mysterious Chinese source you are talking about, so then I can see if it has any credibility. I talk a lot about sources and whether you acknowledge it or not, several of us are very good at discerning real and fake sources. So, please show us what this great source you talk about is.

You keep going off tangent. Can you actually answer my questions? Why is it that people who can't find counter arguments keep on bringing stuff that has nothing to do with the topic.

you have shown no ability of identifying how China and Russia negotiate deal. If they want an engine for J-20 from Russia eventually, they are not going to do it because of a visit to Salyut by Xu. There is a long negotiation process.

you have not answered the question why China would order engines for an aircraft that's not close to being in production.

you give no credence to the extent of existing relation between China and Salyut, especially in the J-10 project.

i posted the news

FSUE “Gas-Turbine Engineering RPC “Salut” receives a visit from Colonel-General Xu Qiliang, Vice-Chairman of the CPC Central Military Commission.
On October 31, 2013, the high dignitary from the PRC heading an official delegation, invited by Sergey Shoygu, Russian Defense Minister, visited Salut - one of Russia's largest aircraft engine manufacturer and supplier for a number of foreign customers, including China.

During the red carpet reception, Vladislav Masalov, Director General of Salut, emphasized in his speech the importance of cooperation with the PRC in aeroengine-building projects.

Colonel-General Xu Qiliang in his turn expressed the willingness to use best efforts toward ensuring that this cooperation be continued on a long-term and mutually beneficial basis.

The Chinese guests made an acquaintance tour of the factory visiting its production workshops, engine test facilities and assembly lines, as well as the Museum of Corporate History, where they were offered an overview of Salut's long-standing traditions and corporate values.


and i gave my opinion based upon:

Vladislav Masalov, Director General of Salut, said that the full-scale deliveries of upgraded engines could be started as early as 2013. “The AL-31F M2 engine can be a not so expensive solution for re-engining of Su-27, Su-30 and Su-34 fleet now operated by the Russian military and is likewise deliverable to foreign customers,” noted Director General. The technical specifications and requirements of Su-27SM and Su-34 aircraft call for the engines with increased thrust and improved fuel consumption with the AL-31F M2 fulfilling these requisites. The installation can be performed without any rework of the aircraft and take place in field conditions.

I am not saying i know what Colonel-General Xu Qiliang and , Vladislav Masalov, Director General of Salut, did talk or did sign since i gave an opinion

i only said since i bet you are not witness to what Colonel-General Xu Qiliang and , Vladislav Masalov, Director General of Salut, did talk yours is also an opinion


And forums are for that


If you think you can skim sources better than i, well that is fine with me, but Salut pages does not mention any sale of any engine so niether me or you can affirm they are buying Al-31FNs or Al-31f M-2 those are opinions

that is my point

You're quoting want china times.


Now there's your problem. They are a Taiwanese news outlet I believe, and their credibility on PLA affairs is next to zero. If that is your "chinese source" then I'm sorry to tell you it is an unreliable source with dubious credibility at best.

In cases like this it almost appears as if you have a narrative already in mind and then go searching for sources, any sources, to support that narrative. In this case China being unable to develop J-20 or WS-15 without Russian assistance.

The Russian article notes the visit and beyond that does not tell us much more. The WantChinaTimes (Taiwan) links are not exactly credible, but seem to be the one source that really supports your position that China is in trouble with J-20 & WS-15. Not based on any factual information:

Here is another

originating from WantChinaTimes. I found it in the same place you found yours. At the bottom it claims Type 055 will be a virtual replica of Zumwalt Class and launch with a Rail Gun.

Also, didn't you say your information originally came from a Hong Kong source? Where is that? WantChinaTimes is Taiwan.

It's best to filter through sources and use logic when gauging true progress in Chinese Military programs. If you have a pre-conceived notion on how China will make out with various programs and then look for any random punter to back it up, you won't be given much credibility when sharing that opinion.

So based on your source of idrw (which is an Indian fanboy site) and wantchinatimes (which is a Taiwanese site) have in reality no credibility on Chinese matters. Again, I talk about sourcing a lot and it's not just to you but a lot of other people. You have to be sure that your sources are good otherwise, you might as well start posting strategypage and wikipedia stuff all day. To be taken more seriously, we have to use good sources here. There are reasons why my blog gets cited in US congressional research studies and these other jokes don't. This is a fine craft that takes a long time to develop and should be taken a little more seriously. What I find common with you is that you develop a theory and then spend all day searching for that.

I'm not stating what they are buying or not buying. I'm stating that you have no idea nor no do you make any effort into understanding how China and Russia negotiate deals. On top of that, you can't seem to accept that they are far more likely to discuss engine for an aircraft that is in production vs an aircraft not in production.

It's quite clear this discussion is not going anywhere, so let's drop this and report only if we get new reports.
