As far as I know, only 4 countries can build aircraft jet engines on their own:

• USA {GE, P&W}
• Russia {Klimov, NPO Saturn}
• France {Safran}
• UK {Rolls-Royce}

Why large commercial airlines use turbo fan engines?

To boost fuel economy and reduce noise, almost all of today’s jet airliners and most military transport aircraft (e.g., the C-17) are powered by low-specific-thrust/high-bypass-ratio turbofans. These engines evolved from the high-specific-thrust/low-bypass-ratio turbofans used in such aircraft in the 1960s.

What’s the most powerful military jet engine?

“The F-35 is the most powerful, the most advanced fighter jet in the world today. And it is powered by our F135 engine, which is the most powerful 5th generation engine available in the world today,” said Mark Buongiorno, Vice President of Pratt & Whitney’s F-35 Propulsion System.

What are the most powerful plane engines?

The most powerful ones are the GE90-115B and -110B which are found on the 777-300ER and 777-200LR and 777F respectively. The GE90-115B can offer an impressive 127,900 lbf of maximum thrust, although it is certified at 115,000 lbf (hence the name).

Can China make jet engines?

It’s also no secret that China is skilled at reverse-engineering foreign technology to make domestic copies. There is precedent for reverse-engineering jet engines, but while China has plenty of access to Russian jet engines, Beijing’s attempts to produce its own domestic designs have been largely unsuccessful.

Can Japan make jet engines?

IHI is Japan’s leading maker of jet engines, with a market share of between 60% and 70%. We are the primary contractor and manufacturer for aircraft engines used by the Ministry of Defense.

What engine would you use for commercial aircraft?

INTRODUCTION. All commercial aircraft designed in the last 40 years (other than aircraft with fewer than a dozen passengers) are powered by gas turbine engines, either turbofan or turboprop.
