One of Project Leader from State-owned AECC Group Disclosed(00:27) that the WS-15 Aero engine Now in Mass Production during His Speech in a Material Contest Presentations..

i think he is talking about small scale production. but nevertheless this is a massive update.

OMG.......decade of waiting finally

absolutely. i always consider WS-15, the most iconic engine project in PRC history. base on its core machine, they literally can design any type of heavy engine in short span of time.

golden phase of Chinese aviation has begun.

remember those leaked picture, J-20B has little modified canopy from back. like J-35.

The hump is more like twin seater j20 without the backseat.

Man, i have no words to express my feeling......i actually felt some sort of emptiness PS: i feel old

Hmm, I wonder in which way(s)?

Cockpit hump change also involves changes to the intakes, which can optimize airflow for the target engine.

l am so happy today I almost cried when I saw that video

Essentially, you finally shot your load and hopefully the refractory period is short for the Chengdu Sixth Gen.

On a serious note the engine video confirmed that a fifth generation engine is under development. It is most likely the variable cycle engine we’ve been speculating about.

I think it’s the counter-rotating 4 stage high pressure compressor core with a compression ratio of 10.

I would suspect that the initial productions for sixth gen fighters would also use an upgraded WS-15, just like J-20As using WS-10C.

Is that the same as pulsed detonation engine or different?

Can't imagine what material could withstand the corresponding rise in temperature!
