Shenyang WS-15
The Shenyang WS-15 (), codename Emei, is a Chinese afterburning turbofan engine designed by the Shenyang Aeroengine Research Institute and manufactured by the Shenyang Liming Aircraft Engine Company. The WS-15 is intended to become the main engine of the Chengdu J-20 stealth aircraft, enabling it to supercruise, improve its range, manoeuvrability and upgrade potential for future weapon systems. It will eventually replace the Shenyang WS-10, which currently serves as the interim engine of J-20, while the WS-15 is being refined. Design and development Development of the WS-15 afterburning turbofan engine began in the early 1990s. In 2005, the engine performed successfully on the testbed. An image of the core appeared at 2006 China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition. In 2009, a prototype achieved and a thrust-to-weight ratio of 9. The thrust target was reported as in 2012. In March 2022, Chinese state media reported that the J-20 had performed trials with the engine an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Turbofan
A turbofan or fanjet is a type of airbreathing jet engine that is widely used in aircraft engine, aircraft propulsion. The word "turbofan" is a combination of references to the preceding generation engine technology of the turbojet and the additional fan stage. It consists of a gas turbine engine which achieves mechanical energy from combustion, and a ducted fan that uses the mechanical energy from the gas turbine to force air rearwards. Thus, whereas all the air taken in by a turbojet passes through the combustion chamber and turbines, in a turbofan some of that air bypasses these components. A turbofan thus can be thought of as a turbojet being used to drive a ducted fan, with both of these contributing to the thrust. The ratio of the mass-flow of air bypassing the engine core to the mass-flow of air passing through the core is referred to as the bypass ratio. The engine produces thrust through a combination of these two portions working together. Engines that use more Propel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thrust Vectoring
Thrust vectoring, also known as thrust vector control (TVC), is the ability of an aircraft, rocket or other vehicle to manipulate the direction of the thrust from its engine(s) or motor(s) to Aircraft flight control system, control the Spacecraft attitude control, attitude or angular velocity of the vehicle. In rocketry and ballistic missiles that fly outside the atmosphere, aerodynamic Flight control surfaces, control surfaces are ineffective, so thrust vectoring is the primary means of Flight dynamics (fixed-wing aircraft), attitude control. Exhaust vanes and Gimbaled thrust, gimbaled engines were used in the 1930s by Robert H. Goddard, Robert Goddard. For aircraft, the method was originally envisaged to provide upward vertical thrust as a means to give aircraft vertical (VTOL) or short (STOL) takeoff and landing ability. Subsequently, it was realized that using vectored thrust in combat situations enabled aircraft to perform various maneuvers not available to conventional-en ...

IHI Corporation XF9
The IHI XF9 is a low-bypass turbofan, afterburning turbofan engine developed by the Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Agency (ATLA) of Ministry of Defense (Japan), Ministry of Defense of Japan (MoD) and IHI Corporation. Overview The XF9 is a product of an Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Agency, ATLA project ''Research on fighter engine system'' (2015–2019) which followed two preliminary projects, ''Research on main components of next generation engines'' (2010–2015) and ''Research on fighter engine elements'' (2013–2017). Started after development of the IHI Corporation XF5, XF5 turbofan engine (1995–2008), these research projects are preliminary works for Japan's future fighter program or the successor to the Mitsubishi F-2 fighter. The basic concept is to produce a "slim and high-power" engine, thereby creating more capacity for accommodating fuel and weaponry inside the fuselage of stealth fighter to reduce radar cross section.

General Electric YF120
The General Electric YF120, internally designated as GE37, was a variable cycle afterburning turbofan engine designed by General Electric Aircraft Engines in the late 1980s and early 1990s for the United States Air Force's Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) program. It was designed to produce maximum thrust in the class. Prototype engines were installed in the two competing technology demonstrator aircraft, the Lockheed YF-22 and Northrop YF-23. Pratt & Whitney's competing F119 was selected over the F120 to power the ATF, the competition for which the Lockheed team won, and became F-22 Raptor. History Development General Electric (GE) began developing the GE37, which would become basis of the XF120 and YF120, for the Joint Advanced Fighter Engine (JAFE) program in the early 1980s aimed at supplying the powerplant for the Air Force's Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) and the Navy's Advanced Carrier-Based Multirole Fighter (VFMX); JAFE was later renamed the ATF Engine (ATFE) followin ...

Pratt & Whitney F119
The Pratt & Whitney F119, company designation PW5000, is an Afterburner (engine), afterburning turbofan engine developed by Pratt & Whitney for the Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) program, which resulted in the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. The engine delivers thrust in the class and was designed for sustained supersonic flight without afterburners, or supercruise; the F119 allows the F-22 to achieve supercruise speeds of up to Mach 1.8.F-22 Flight Test Data . accessed August 8, 2007. The F119's nozzles incorporate thrust vectoring that enable them to direct the engine thrust ±20° in the Flight dynamics, pitch axis to give the F-22 enhanced maneuverability.
