5 Ways China’s WS-20 Jet Engine Is Outrunning GE and Rolls-Royce Airpower

Описание: 5 Ways China’s WS-20 Jet Engine Is Outrunning GE and Rolls-Royce Airpower

China’s WS-20 engine isn’t the most powerful — but it’s reshaping global air power.

For decades, global air power was shaped by Western jet engines from GE and Rolls-Royce. China’s WS-20 does not win on raw thrust, but it changes the balance in a more strategic way. By unlocking the full potential of the Y-20 airlifter, cutting foreign dependence, and enabling mass production at scale, the WS-20 marks a turning point in military aviation. This video breaks down the five specific ways this engine is reshaping logistics, range, and power projection — and why Western planners are paying close attention.
