China to develop version of Antonov An-225 to launch satellites

[TheMailMan78]

Reverse engineering is absolutely possible, and never underestimate ingenuity of other people, especially those you don't know well.

That's about all they do. Ever seen Chinas Aircraft carrier? Yeah. Exactly.

Pile of garbage. Afaik it was a old russian one, sold to them. Now pretty old. Aren't they building one on their own now?

A new one is built but it won't go into service until 2020

They already have one and another one is built but it won't go into service until 2020

And the main question: is it any good?

apparently they named it after a penis so its probably a lot smaller than what they claim it is.

From intelligence reports that have been made public its still based off Russian design. Only difference is it will use a catapult system for larger planes instead of the sky slope design. I would not want to be shot off a Chinese aircraft carrier using a Chinese Catapult. Time will tell. No matter what they will be behind the curve.

this turned out funnier than I thought it would be.

Gotta love the go ol backward ignorant TPU. Yeah let's bash anything made in China, they are stupid and can only copy the Superior Western countries' technology.

Do you people only get news feeds on China from Clinton News Network or what? It is such ignorance and shitty attitude that really blocks the progress of science. Never underestimate your opponent.

Well, chinese penii, , , ,

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

You would have to have a set to fly that ,both the size ,technology and one off ness of it makes it an odd day at work for someone.

i post loads of great stuff about China in the Science forum.

Incidentally, mine was a penis joke not a chance to laugh at China.

Not you man, I meant for some of the people that replies. I just cannot tolerate ignorant f*uck heads in a science related thread. I work in science, I have met and worked with a lot of very talented Chinese students and scholars. Such ignorance should not be tolerated in science.

Agreed

i try and post the good stuff, regardless who did it.

Have you been to China? I have. I have worked with the Chinese for YEARS. They are not stupid people in any sense of the word. I never would suggest that. But, lets be honest. When it comes to engineering, they haven't been ahead of the curve in some time. With a communist government and a HUGE population issue I don't suspect they will for a while either. Like I said slave labor isn't an incentive to innovate. Again I have see that crap with my own eyes.

Also I praised Russia in this same thread. Not a western nation technically. I just call em how I PERSONALLY have seen it. It may not be PC but guess what. The world isn't.

Speaking about science complaining about peoples behaviour in a science thread or board and then being that ignorant and full of yourself is the kind of attitude you self pretty much fail at. You easily overestimate Chinese people. I don't think you have a fucking clue what Chinese people are, in their minds, their character and motivations. No need to discuss it further too it would be a waste of time debating this with you anyway. Just wanted to give you some of your blatant arrogance back.

Chinese people all know kung fu and throw kamehameha's so id better watch what ya'll say about'em

Plane was made to test USSR's "shuttle", so they build only one (+few spare parts).
There was never a need to make more of them because there was never a need to test two shuttles at the same time.
After the fall of USSR, plane was scraped for parts for most of the '90s by company that made it (since it didn't have the $$ to retrofit it to international law standards).
Few years went by, and Antonov company (now, growing fast in air-transport market), needed something bigger than AN-124 and since they already have one 225 sitting in scrapyard, they decided to rebuild it to modern standards (since originally it was made for military use), instead of designing/building a new plane.
Here's a good documentary about AN-225 :

PS. Sadly both "Buran" shuttle and "Energia" rocket were destroyed in hangar collapse in 2002 (cause... was poor maintenance)

We're improving here on understanding science. Just be patient. Only two months ago we were at

and now look at us.

I don't think that's what they meant , everyone knows there are brilliant people everywhere around the world. However , engineering at this sort of scale has to be done in circumstances where it can produce impressive results , and in that regard China dose not impress very often. The reason for that has less to do with their scientific expertise and more to do with their political-economical mindset over there.

This is exactly the case , they could very well build their own aircraft , but they don't. Because they much rather value stuff getting done faster and cheaper , that is unfortunately a fact for China.

Last month i was impressed by the Chinese

Even more so when we so so many buy their crap of them and they just copy shit which has to be making them a fortune and saving a hell load too.
