Recently, according to the Russian newspaper "Viewpoint", Russia's fifth-generation fighter Su-57 is undergoing a major upgrade, and the second stage of the new engine - the "Product 30" engine will be installed. This news has attracted widespread attention, especially in the military field.
It is reported that the "Product 30" engine is an advanced power unit with strong thrust, with a maximum thrust of 1079,000 N, and the maximum afterburn thrust is as high as 1766 thousand N. In addition, the engine is equipped with a vector nozzle that can rotate 360 degrees, and the nozzle can rotate at speeds of up to 30 degrees per second. This upgrade will significantly improve the performance and maneuverability of the Su-57.
Compared with the Su-57's previous product 117 engine, the new "Product 30" engine not only reduces fuel consumption, but also significantly increases the combat radius. More strikingly, this upgrade allows the Su-57 to cruise at supersonic speeds without turning on afterburner, providing more flexibility and tactical options for the use of the aircraft.
China's J-20 fighter is not to be outdone, and it is reported that China's Taihang turbofan-15 engine is also undergoing a comprehensive upgrade to cope with the competition of international advanced fighters. At present, the turbofan-15 is already in continuous research and development and improvement, striving to achieve mass production and equip our army as soon as possible. This series of actions shows the solid pace of the Chinese industry and has laid a more solid foundation for China's development in the field of military technology.
With the increasingly fierce competition in military strength among countries in the world, the upgrading of fighter planes has become an important part of improving the country's comprehensive strength. The upgrade of the Su-57 will further enhance the combat effectiveness of the Russian Air Force, while the turbofan-15 engine upgrade of the J-20 demonstrates China's determination to catch up in the field of military technology. We look forward to the performance of these two fighters in the future and contribute to maintaining a stable regional situation. List of high-quality authors
