Award for National University of Defense Technology for their contribution in achieving stable transient combustion of scramjet engine during change (speed, altitude, direction,) in flight conditions. 3 years ago, ground test China’s hypersonic cruise missile sees technological breakthrough...

How about a thread on the J-12 ? I noticed that there was none ! It is a jet that I like and I will try to collect in this thread some interesting things about it.

Hi, I have been studying the details of the cancelled projects in the past and drawing artwork of they. Many projects have not been drawn or drawn incorrectly, and my dream is to complete them. Harbin H-5 Light bomber re-engine project: The feature of this project is that the original...

As someone who followed the various published Western assessments of Soviet Military Power avidly throughout the Cold War I am all too aware of the risks in such evaluation. As various Chinese capabilities are asserted regularly in a range of threads I think it would be timely to discuss the...

Good morning, I am looking for information on air-air missiles first-generation Chinese, PL-2, PL-3, PL-5, PL-7 and PL-8. History, features, variants, users ... All will be well received, as I am writing a small article for our digital journal and all contributions will be grateful...

In 1968 the China attempted to develop a VTOL fighter, so engineers came up with adding lift fans to the J-6 to finish it by 1971. Lack of success and the death of some of the CCP leadership gets the project canceled in 1972. Slightly more sane proposal

That has some interesting implications for what H-20 may end up looking like... It'll sure be interesting if B-21 and H-20 both come out with similar planform Where'd you find that picture from btw?

I want to ask a question about when the J-10 programme first became known publically in the West, as well as the contentious issue of the possible Lavi connection, even if it is simply cosmetic, and hope that Deino perhaps can give some clarity on this. When were the first rumours of the J-10...

Hi everybody, It seemed we did not have any clearly identifiable thread on this subject yet. Now we do. Project 0901 is a national endeavor -- not to be confused with project 0902 (Fusion) -- and seems to broadly cover anything related to high-speed scramjet research for the purpose of flying...

Trying to nuke someone on Earth from the moon would be about as inefficient as you could do it. We'd see them coming for days.
