Boy are we are in for a ride this year...

I remember he said we could see J-20 with 2×WS-15 this year.

I must admit i just now first time got aware of WS-17 existance, what is it meant for?
So WS-15, WS-19 and WS-20 are major players, and WS-18 and WS-21 are just stopgaps to overcome until real players get matured.

WS-17 is for Jl-10/L-15.

For JL-10.
By the way, WS-17 (with afterburner) is already installed on JL-10.

Well ... but not on operational ones since so far NO operational JL-10 uses the AB-version

Something tells me that Jane's grossly underestimated the power of the WS20 engines. An engine with a diameter of 2.2 meters is likely going to have a thrust significantly above 28,660 lbf.

Any number below 14 tons is not credible and according to the slides we saw earlier the WS-20's thrust can be as high as 16 tons.

The fan blade diameter of the WS20 engine is 2100mm.

bypass ratio is 6

maximum take off thrust is 35,000-36,000 lbf
