The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The J35 project, according to the AI result, is moving along well.

However, there are other results on WS 19. Like us, getting a working engine is a problem.

The WS-19 engine for China's J-35 fighter is in testing, with first public reports suggesting it's designed to provide significantly more thrust than the WS-13 and WS-21 engines on earlier J-35 prototypes, but it may not be in widespread production for operational service yet. While the J-35 aircraft itself has entered service, the WS-19 engine is expected to be the definitive, more powerful engine for the aircraft but is still undergoing testing and integration.
WS-19 Engine Status
Under Development & Testing: The WS-19 is a key, advanced engine intended for the J-35, but it is still undergoing testing to meet its full performance and reliability requirements.
Improved Thrust: It is expected to offer a significant increase in thrust compared to the interim WS-13 and WS-21 engines used on earlier J-35 prototypes.
Critical for Operational Readiness: The engine's development is critical for the J-35 to achieve its full potential and for the aircraft to be considered truly combat-ready.
J-35 and Engine Relationship
Early Prototypes: Early J-35 prototypes were fitted with less powerful engines like the WS-13 and WS-21, which were not adequate for the heavier, redesigned airframe.
Planned for Deployment: The J-35, powered by the more advanced WS-19 engine, is intended to be a crucial component of China's growing aircraft carrier fleet.
Future of the Aircraft: The full operational capability and performance of the J-35 will depend on the successful development and integration of the WS-19 engine.
