PAKISTAN Iron Brother CHINA Starts Replacing The AL-31 Russian Engines With Indigenously Developed WS-10 High-Performance Turbofan Engines From J-10 and JF-17 Omni-Role Fighter Jets:
PAKISTAN Iron Brother CHINA has started the replacing of AL-31 Russian Engines with the domestically developed WS-10 Turbofan High Performance Engines from Single Engine Fighter Jets, including the Sacred Country PAKISTAN’s JF-17 Thunder Jets and J-10 Multi-Role Semi-Stealth Fighter Jets.
PAKISTAN Iron Brother CHINA has started the phasing out of all AL-31 Russian Engines from its J-10 Single Engine Fighter Jets long before the expiry of their service lives.
The CHINESE PEOPLE’S LIBERATION ARMY (PLA) has started the massive process of replacing the existing AL-31 Russian Engines from the indigenously developed J-10 multi-role semi-stealth fighter jets and Sacred Country PAKISTAN’s JF-17 Thunder Jets with the WS-10 Turbofan High Performance Engines .
PAKISTAN Iron Brother CHINA was previously heavily relied on the Russian made AL-31 Engines for its dual and single engine fighter jets, including the J-11B and J-10s’, but after getting required technical expertise, PAKISTAN Iron Brother CHINA now replacing the Russian Engines with the indigenously developed WS-10 High Performance Engines.
PAKISTAN Iron Brother CHINA has first started the integration of the domestically developed WS-10 Turbofan engines on the J-11 dual-engine fighter jets. During the testing phase, the CHINESE-made WS-10 High Performance Engines gained worldwide attention due to their very high degree of reliability.
Apart from the WS-10 and WS-10B Engines, PAKISTAN Iron Brother CHINA is also currently developing the WS-10C High Performance Engine that is 91 percent as powerful as the top engine for an American twin engine jets F-22 and F119 jets.
Nevertheless, the integration of the WS-10C High Performance Turbo Fan Engines has given CHINESE indigenously manufactured J-20 5th Gen Long Range Heavyweight Stealth Fighter Jets the magnificent Supercruise capability and it also helped a lot in improving the reliability and range of CHINESE Fighter Jets over the previous AL-31 Russian Engines.
The integration of WS-10C High Performance Turbofan Engines has given the only Supercruise capable 5th Generation Fighter Jets to be both operational and in production worldwide – meaning it could fly supersonically for sustained periods without using its afterburners.
The phasing out of the AL-31 Russian Engines will significantly help the both Iron Brothers PAKISTAN and CHINA to standardize the fleet of J-10 Jets, JF-17 Jets, J-11, J-16 and carrier-based J-15 Fighter Jets.
Moreover, the replacing of WS-10 High Performance Turbofan Engines will not only help to provide much superior performance than the previous Russian derivative, but it will also significantly reduce the maintenance cost of the fighter jets.
PAKISTAN Iron Brother CHINA has also made a breakthrough with the development of the WS-15 Powerplant to power its J-20 5th Gen Long Range Stealth Fighter Jets, which will reportedly be the most powerful Engine ever used on a 5th Gen twin engine fighter Jets ever made in the entire world.
The indigenous development and production of such high-performance engines will likely lead to the integration of much-more advanced and cutting-edge technologies for the PAKISTAN Iron Brother CHINA’s-made Fourth and Fifth Generation Fighter Jets, which could easily make the successor to the WS-10 engines as much-more powerful, efficient, reliable and efficient.
