QC185, a gas turbine for ships and navy vessels developed by China, debuted at the air show in Zhuhai on November 1.This means China will less depend on engine imports in its defense and heavy industry.

A gas turbine is a new generation of engine powered by clean energy. It is extensively used for power generation, tanks, ships and navy vessels. At present only a few countries including US, UK and France are able to develop gas turbines independently.

QC185 is the result of the joint efforts of Shenyang Aero-Engine Institute and Shengyang Liming Aero-Engine Group. Its general performance has proved to be advanced in the world. And it will hopefully replace the imports in a few years.
