5 Fast Facts On China’s Military Aircraft Engines

It should go without saying, but a major part of developing an independent fighter jet program is also being able to locally design and produce the engines (these are kinda important). However, this is something China has long struggled with. It’s only comparatively recently started to produce its own engines for its fighter jets. How powerful these engines are is unclear. The new supposedly sixth-generation fighter jet China has just flown needs three engines to provide the required thrust and these engines were very loud in the videos taken.
