AEP80 In development South Aviation Industry Corporation Core engine is based on WZ-9
AEP500[3] In development South Aviation Industry Corporation Civil WJ-10

The AEP500's 5,000 kW (6,700 hp) equivalent power is similar to the Dash 8 Q400's 4,600 kW Pratt & Whitney Canada PW150, to propel a 74-100 seats airliner at Mach 0.6 and FL300-330. It has a three-shaft layout for compactness and performance retention, the low-pressure compressor has four axial stages while the high-pressure compressor has one axial and one centrifugal stage, both driven by single stages turbines. A demonstrator without the three stage power turbine should be run in 2022/2023, a technology demonstrator in 2025, and certification is targeted for 2035 Takeoff BSFC should be below 260 g/kW/h (0.43 lb/hp/hr). The 5,000-kW WJ-10 was intended for the Y-19 airlifter and may be introduced in the 2020s. A 5,000-kW engine could power a 110 t (240,000 lb) MTOW airlifter but more for higher performance like the Airbus A400M.[4]

Controversy

The United States Department of Defense believes the AECC is linked to the People's Liberation Army.[5] In November 2020, Donald Trump issued an executive order prohibiting any American company or individual from owning shares in companies that the United States Department of Defense has listed as having links to the People's Liberation Army, which included Aero Engine Corporation of China.[6][7][8]
