MA-700 most likely flown with AEP-400.. look at the size of air-intake and nacelle shape.
China's transport, tanker & heavy lift aircraft
- Thread starter Totoro
- Start date
From this angle the wings almost looked swept-forward until I did a double-take. Interesting design on those
I mean whatever it is, it probably isn't WJ-6 given the different intake shape and the nacelle radiator intake.
The engines on the Y-15 definitely aren't WJ-6s.
A more direct comparison:
In addition, those small pod-like structures at the bottom of the engine cowlings certainly aren't air intakes, given how far they are from the forward edge.
Someone got another photo of the Y-15 at a slightly different angle than the previous two. Posted by @聚四氟乙烯UR on Bilibili.
Yup, I think the photographer definitely either got a high-quality video clip of the Y-15, or did a continous/burst mode shot of the Y-15.

Is AEP-400 technologically superior to the WJ-10?
I know I should’ve asked this weeks / months ago — but is that an air data probe or IFR probe?
