China's 'shark skin' tech could enable next-gen aircraft engines to surpass the US military's.

In western China, researchers have developed a revolutionary "shark skin" structure inside a turbofan engine to reduce drag by 10% and significantly improve efficiency. This technology is based on a strong, large-scale titanium alloy precision 3D printing, potentially helping China surpass the U.S. and its allies in the next generation of aircraft engine competition. The U.S. Air Force's decision to upgrade existing engines presents a window of opportunity for China to make advancements. China's increasing use of 3D printing technology in aero-engine production is steadily narrowing the technological gap with the U.S.

China is rapidly developing itself into a top engine manufacturer as it has already surpassed GE in 3D printing of a much larger and difficult to make engine component. With the new ‘shark skin’ design and oblique combustion the efficiency will improve and gives more thrust to weight ratio. It is beyond doubt that China will surpass the western technology in engine design and manufacturing.

LOL. I spit my soda out when I heard this. Maybe US tech from the 50's but somehow I even doubt that. LOL hahahahaha

[Bikebro]

Next generation? Why don't you focus on this generation first? 😂
