Plenty of reports from and about China indicate a collapse of the Communist regime. It would be good to read about previous collapses of regimes and see the common signs.

Maitya, Thanks for the detailed reply. So low bypass ratio and increased mass flow rate are causing low TeT. Yet dry thrust is comparable in that class. Low BPR is for flat rating and am sure the other super duper engines become asthmatic in different airfields. So don't change it. What is the way t...

Next set of questions:

Why is the compressor efficiency so low? LPC, 85%, HPC 85% cited by GTRE. Those imply a polytropic efficiency under 88%, whereas textbooks in the 1980s cited 92%.

What keeps our efficiency so low and have they not tried to boost that?"
