From 2016 to 2020, China imported a large number of aircraft engines from Russia, including 125 Al-31 engines, 625 D-30 engines, and hundreds of other Russian-style engines. These engines provide a powerful heart for Chinese aircraft, allowing them to soar in the blue sky.
However, China is not satisfied with this. With the continuous progress of technology, China has also made remarkable achievements in the field of aero engines. China's high-thrust turbofan 20 has been successfully equipped on the Y-20, and the total thrust of the four turbofan 20 has reached 66 tons, which is an achievement that has announced to the world that China has become an aero-engine power.
China's aero engine industry has gone through the process of introduction, digestion, absorption and independent innovation. In this process, China has continuously broken through technological bottlenecks, improved its ability to innovate independently, and gradually got rid of its dependence on external technologies. Today, China's aero engines have reached the international advanced level, providing strong support for the development of the country's aviation industry.
Looking back on this journey, we can see that China's development in the field of engine technology has been rapid and steady. From relying on imports to independent research and development, from following to running and then to leading, China has demonstrated its strong technological strength and innovation capabilities to the world. In the future, with the continuous progress of technology and the expansion of application fields, it is believed that China's aero engine industry will achieve more brilliant achievements.
