>To think that they haven't been able to reproduce specs of 3 decades old engines is dangerous hubris.
No, it's objective fact. They still can't mass produce the WS-15, can't make a turbine blade that doesn't have tip creep in really high heat conditions, resulting in an 18% decrease in thrust. They still can't into high temp single crystal blades, and REALLY struggle with the coating that allow power dense, lightweight cores like the F119 and F135. It took chiner until 2010 to even get the WS-10 to where it wouldn't eat itself after 100 hours.
