Yet the paper is published in 2025. And I'm fairly certain the early WS-10's BPR is >0.5. And skimming the actual paper it seems like a 3-10-2-2 (which is indeed a bit odd) while the WS-10 is 3-9-1-1.
Not really. Pretty sure the EJ200 is supercruise-able.
Doesn’t mean it’s referring to a new engine. The bench test could be using an old engine. The paper might be summarizing the study of a bench testing analysis method for example. Would need the full paper to have a better idea. Do you have a link?
What kind of aircraft these days still needs modernized WS-9? Large drones like Jiutian?
It's actually a some sort of WS-9. I imagined the 1 when I saw it.
Future CCA I suppose?
Why the twin sets of both HP and LP turbine? Also why not use WS-15 or WS-19 for high end CCAs?
WS-9 is 5-12-2-2.
Legacy configuration from the Spey.
I'm aware. The paper mentioned overhauled compressors.
Would be easier if you just shared the paper…
Was just trying to get a link but gave up. Have it in blurry screenshots instead:
It's published under PLA/军工科技.
