Key Highlights

Why the XX400WP stands apart in the 400 kgf thrust class.

Outstanding Power Density

6.09:1 thrust-to-weight ratio — among the highest in its class. More thrust per kilogram means greater payload fraction and longer endurance for your platform.

Rapid Thrust Response

Full acceleration and deceleration in 10 seconds. Critical for target drone manoeuvring and dynamic mission profiles where throttle response matters.

High-Altitude Transonic

Operates up to 13,000 m at Mach 0.95. The performance band where high-speed target drones and large reconnaissance UAVs operate.

Long Mission Capability

Single continuous operation of ≥2 hours, with ≥120 seconds at maximum thrust. Designed for realistic, extended target presentations.

Rugged Vibration Tolerance

Rated for ≤8 g rms steady-state and ≤15 g rms transient vibration across 0–1200 Hz. Built for the harsh reality of catapult launch and recovery.

Standard Aviation Fuel

Runs on RP-3 aviation kerosene (GB6537-2006), widely available at military and civilian airfields. 4050 synthetic oil lubrication with <150 mL/h consumption.

Target Applications

Platforms where 400 kgf-class turbojet power makes the difference.

High-Speed Target Drones

Subsonic-to-transonic aerial targets for air-defence training, weapons evaluation and threat simulation. The 30-hour design life aligns with expendable/recoverable target drone operational profiles.

Large UAV Propulsion

Heavy-payload and long-endurance unmanned aircraft requiring jet propulsion for speed, altitude and mission flexibility beyond what piston or electric power can deliver.

Experimental & Research

University laboratories, defence research establishments and propulsion integrators requiring a production-grade 400 kgf-class turbine for demonstrator programmes.

Export Compliance & Documentation

The XX400WP is classified as a dual-use item. All international shipments require an end-user certificate (EUC) and are subject to the export control regulations of the People's Republic of China. Sheng-Fang Technology assists buyers throughout the licence application process.

Every engine ships with a complete instrumented test-cell report, manufacturer's certificate of conformity, and full shipping documentation. Typical lead time is 45–60 working days, plus 30–45 days for export licence approval.
