...Jane's has learnt that China is using Russian-sourced -117S engines (a heavily modified AL-31F) to power its fifth-generation design - at least as far as prototype and development aircraft are concerned. This engine powers Russia's own fifth-generation fighter, the Sukhoi T-50. Despite attempts to replicate previous generations of Russian fighter engines for its own aircraft, China's industry has failed to do so reliably. Its dependence on foreign technology, and specifically Russian engines, particularly as it embarks on its next generation of designs is a hurdle for China's designers and a major obstacle to building a truly indigenous military aircraft industry. Russia is now dealing with a Chinese request to acquire an unknown number of -117S engines upon which Chengdu will rely for some time to come.
What we dicussed here is whether china developed a 5th general fighter,not other thing.(As you have said "LCA is a separate issue all together",so we donot discuss LCA)
I admit that the engine is still secret,then you believe that china's JXX is nothing but a joke,how strange it is!What engine used in LCA?
you are contradicting yourself and again discussing LCA. Simple question what engine is in the fifth generation plane??
