Which country has jet engine technology?
USA, Russia, France, China. All have fully domestic aeronautics industry. UK no longer develops aircraft or engines alone, now it’s jointly with other leading European partners (France, Germany, Italy, Spain).
How reliable are jet engines?
Reliability. Turbine engines in use on today’s turbine-powered aircraft are very reliable. Engines operate efficiently with regularly scheduled inspections and maintenance. These units can have lives ranging in the thousands of hours of operation.
How much do jet builders make?
The salaries of Aircraft Jig & Tool Builders in the US range from $43,886 to $63,851 , with a median salary of $50,327 . The middle 57\% of Aircraft Jig & Tool Builders makes between $50,346 and $54,638, with the top 86\% making $63,851.
What are the negative effects of reverse engineering?
At worst, it can lead to seriously substandard components that reduce the capabilities and reliability of a system. Chinese efforts to reverse engineer certain Russian jet engines during the 1990s and 2000s invariably produced engines with extremely short lifespans, and without the power of their Russian counterparts.
Can China reverse engineer Russian jet engines?
Chinese efforts to reverse engineer certain Russian jet engines during the 1990s and 2000s invariably produced engines with extremely short lifespans, and without the power of their Russian counterparts. Even today, jet engines remain an obstacle for PLAAF fighter modernization, with its early 5th generation prototypes notably underpowered.
Is it true that Chinese can reverse engineer?
Despite a lot of mentions made by other quorans regarding the engineering prowess of Chinese and difficulties of reverse engineering, Chinese can, and actually did reverse engineer to maximum extent before:
Can China modernize the PLAAF with new jet engines?
Even today, jet engines remain an obstacle for PLAAF fighter modernization, with its early 5th generation prototypes notably underpowered. Further complicating the problem, Russia is wary of supplying engines more powerful than the AL-31 used to power its Su-27s. However, China has several avenues to work around this.
