    Single crystal superalloy turbine blades are one of those manufacturing black magic things, like cutting edge chip fabrication, that is just ludicrously hard to do in practice even if you know the basic idea and that it's possible. Almost nobody can do it. It's not even really subject to espionage much, because so much is fine tuned institutional knowledge and process details and ages of working with specific equipment.

    I imagine China will get there eventually throwing money at it but it's just plain super fricking hard.

          Even their latest helicopters that they claim to use domestic turbines, if you really dig into it they're a joint effort with a French company.
          The French make the turbines themselves and the Chinese make the gearboxes and other components.
          I can't imagine the French aren't willing to share their turbine tech so I guess it just boils down to the Chinese simply not being able to keep the necessary spec in their shops?

      This. The tech behind making single crystal turbine blades (you heard that right, the metal doesn’t have a grain) is an extremely closely held trade secret by those who know. Patents would expose the tech. Its not just making a single crystal blade, but making it single crystal and hollow so bypass air is redirected through each blade and out of the vents along its surface to form a cool air sheath so it can withstand the insane heat and pressure. The metallurgy, the processes behind the metallurgy and manufacture, and the design is all very tight lipped stuff.

        To add: The alloys to make state-of-the-art single crystal turbine blades are tailor-made for their growth properties, which takes an established R&D foundation to achieve. Not only that, even state-of-the-art turbine blades still need to be coated to reliably deal with the extreme temperatures that modern jet engines need in order to achieve greater efficiencies in fuel economy and power. This, also, means you need an established R&D foundation in material science to achieve. Last that I've heard, is the Chinese WS-15 loses 18%-20% thrust when at operating temps due to failure of the turbine blades.

      They barely have a "functional" turbofan engine in 2022 (WS-13, comparable to RD-93, sbetter output but slightly worse MTBF. Better Fadec and burns cleaner tho) but it's an engine for light fighters like L-15 or JF-17. They still couldn't figure out a better design than WS-10 for their bigger jets with WS-15 having shit service life

      I'm sure they already figured out how to grow single crystal metal now (there are several research papers about that made by chinese universities that's available on sciencedirect) but the next thing they need to figure out is how to design an efficient high bypass turbofan because upscalling RD-93 isn't going to cut it

        ? Achieving precise single crystal casting of alloys used in turbine blades on an industrial level is still a complex matter. It's not peak reddit, it's no longer state of the art, we've long since moved to ceramic-ceramic composites but to call it trivial is moronic. Achieving the creep rates required is even more difficult. China is still as of yet in the infancy of achieving this technology. It is true however, that while they've been playing catchup, the US has moved on to researching industrial scale fabrication of dense ceramic-ceramic composites with low creep rates above 1250C which already vastly outstrips metallic alloys and single crystal superalloy turbine blades are an outdated technology in the west.

            Right, and just because I don’t mention my degree because I think my statements stand on their own 2 legs without appeals to dubious authority means I’m an uneducated hic. Sure. Why don’t you post some proof then of the Chinese having the technical capability to cast single crystal superalloy turbine blades on an industrial scale with the precision required for high performance jet engines. Just because every western manufacturer and their mothers can and regularly do it, for civilian applications at that, doesn’t mean the technology is trivial and certainly doesn’t mean the Chinese can do it. Also, what makes you, a mechanical engineer an authority on material science and manufacturing? Just because you took an undergrad course on structures and you know what crystal structures are and can name the different types of defects doesn’t make you an authority on jet engine manufacturing. Go ahead, refute any of what I said homosexual, otherwise you’re just some wienery undergrad with absolute confidence in his coursework.

            Length of WS-15 developmemt and rollout suggests that at best, their processes are fricked and don't produce consistently useful components. The ones they can use probably don't last as long as they should. With such large scale production capability they'd have all the J-20s on them if they could actually build the engines fast enough. They can't.

            Yes they are you contrarian tourist homosexual. Or rather, DOING IT RIGHT is. As other anon said that while sure, West is pushing into new stuff, this is still one of those things where "oh I got 90% of they way there" is very different from 95%, 97%, 99% and 100%. In a military fighter application which is as demanding as it gets 99% vs 100% matters. And being able to do it consistently, in large numbers. Wanderwaffen are worthless, it has to be something you can do enough of to produce thousands of engines. It's not "magic" but it's hard work and has huge amounts of analog trial and error.

            Again it's like chip fabbing. It's easy to state the theory and do basic stuff. But when you're in a "3 atoms is too thin and 5 atoms is too thick" situation how do you ACTUALLY accomplish that? Consistently, in the billions of units?

Better Fadec and burns cleaner tho) but it's an engine for light fighters like L-15 or JF-17. They still couldn't figure out a better design than WS-10 for their bigger jets with WS-15 having shit service life

    I'm sure they already figured out how to grow single crystal metal now (there are several research papers about that made by chinese universities that's available on sciencedirect) but the next thing they need to figure out is how to design an efficient high bypass turbofan because upscalling RD-93 isn't going to cut it

      >RD-93

      I mean RD-33. RD-93 is cleaner burning because russia also figured out how to to design better Fadec

      High percentages of the research that comes out of China is completely fabricated. They've had years where 80% of all Chinese medical research was outright falsified. You really can"t take anything they publish at face value.

        Doubt that since Chinese life expectancy is now higher than burger one.

          According to who though? Probably not the guys launching themselves off of factories or having cadmium dumped in the local river. Chinese life expectency is like East German orgasms.

              Yeah probably. Chinese culture heavily emphasizes lying and cheating to get ahead, and authoritarian politics deeply encourages that. And again, you see the proof in stuff that vomes out of China, like knockoff autompbile parts and research papers.

              Trusting figures released by the PRC's government bodies is not a rational thing to do. They've been caught lying repeatedly, both internally (party officials trying to look good for clout) and externally (propaganda for external consumption). Even when external bodies are allowed in to check things out their access is limited to the point where they're just guessing based on cherrypicked data given to them.
              All. CCP. Data. Is. Propaganda. Period.

                Sure, but in burgerland you've got orgs allowed to do their own research and broadcast it without it (or them) being disappeared. So you have alternatives, and the government can't say shit that's blatantly false without NGOs or private citizens speaking up.
                It's dumb to blindly trust anything any government says, but the PRC's put blinders on their people with the heavy internet censorship and media control. People in power lie, and the more power they have the more heinous the lies they can get away with.
                also, poorly thought out whataboutism. It'll be something about the israelites running all the media making everything up next

          Amerifats aren't having abscesses removed from their bodies regularly anon.
          I was shocked when I heard that this was a regular occurrence in China because of poor food and water standards.
          I've literally never heard of anyone I know needing this done.

    Define "good" engine - they have enough faith in their engines that they've got a few hundred jets flying with them.

    They appear to be as good as Europe (France, Britain) in terms of jet engine reliability and better than Russia having leapfrogged over them.

    Definitely atleast ~15 years behind America though.

    They deserve praise for what they've achieved in the past few decades - going from no aviation industry to end-to-end production of fighter jets is no easy feat.

    Compared to US? They're still a couple decades behind. Compared to the rest of world? On par or slightly ahead.

    Its pic related. Their intelligence community has the western secrets but are withholding them. When the engines get competitive through sheer Sinic persistence they will drop the secrets and in 2 years the Chinese engines will be way better, like compellingly better. Market was owned, do not misunderestimate.

    Short answer: Really shit metal.
    Long answer: for some strange reason, despite having a 1000 year head start in steel production, the chinese of the People's Republic of China have lagged behind their peers and predecessors alike in the field of metalurgy. The steel they produce ends up having a significant amount of contamination to the point where products and tooling made from such metals would go out of spec or break down entirely after mere months of normal use. This would over time introduce severe imprecision in pretty much every product made in China that isn't a tin can.

    Even in mature Western processes the yield on blade manufacture is frequently as low as 50%, and the evaluation processes for QC on finished blades are expensive and challenging. It is very easy for microscopic flaws on the interior of a blade to lead to an early catastrophic failure that causes a loss of aircraft. In China where concept of 'quality control' is as foreign as concepts of 'empathy' or 'decorum' this is large problem; applies to many safety-critical components.

    High performance low bypass turbofans are really fricking complicated that need very strict tolerances when it comes to parts and their metallurgy and high spec ceramics manufacturing.
    When you see those pricetags on fighter jets most of it are from the engines
