The strongest in the field of aeroengines must be military aviation engines. Based on the engines of civil airliners, they pursue greater thrust and maximum thrust during overtime. Therefore, military engines can be regarded as the pinnacle of human technology.
Countries that are capable of R&D, manufacturing, and production of aero-engines generally do not easily export their own technologies. They only export finished engine products, and some even need to be sent back to the country of origin for maintenance.Up to now, aero engines have to rely on manual and skilled assembly.

Poured single crystal blades are as expensive as the same weight of gold. The technology of casting this kind of blade is very complicated, but the performance of this kind of blade is superior to ordinary blade in all aspects. Each blade is 'grown' with a special nickel-tungsten alloy.
