"Yes!" Jiang Yan Hai agreed immediately, without any pretension.
The reason was simple. The other engines in the WS series that were meant to be finalized had long since been finalized. The previous work had merely involved replacing materials.
Most of the necessary testing on those engines had already been completed. As for some other detailed tests, they were not important—at least, not as important as what Jiang Yan Hai had in his hands.
"However, there's something I need to explain first," Jiang Yan Hai said.
"Go ahead." Several elderly professors looked at him.
"The entire engine uses a different design approach. So when using ordinary conventional aviation fuel, its maximum thrust is only 177 kilonewtons, and its intermediate thrust is only 152 kilonewtons. Its current figures were achieved only with a new type of aviation fuel I specially formulated."
"A new type of aviation fuel?" The professors were all stunned. Although the 177 kilonewtons and 152 kilonewtons Jiang Yan Hai mentioned were already impressive enough, compared with the figures they had seen before, no one wanted those numbers.
"Is this aviation fuel expensive?" one professor immediately asked.
"Not expensive. Its price is actually about the same as current aviation fuel, with a difference of only a few hundred yuan per ton at most. The main issue is that it requires new additives and a different formula, so if it is used, fighter jets may need to be refueled separately from the old system," Jiang Yan Hai explained.
Hearing that this was the only issue and that costs had not increased much, all the professors immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"That isn't a problem. Logistics only needs to pay a little more attention. Compared to the combat capability it can provide, that is completely insignificant. Such a minor flaw
