yep, that has happened, just a little more note from me on this. Should be used on R6000 for first flight in 2026.
Also good sign for AEP100 & AES100
Also good sign for AEP100 & AES100
What is the naming scheme of AES/AEP, which is for turboshaft and which is for turboprop?
Aren't WS-19 developed by Guizhou, not Shenyang though?
Think RR vs Eurojet in EJ220's development. The XG-40 is by RR but the actual EJ220 is a collaborative effort with other European firms. In this case, the S3-2 is by Shenyang Liming and 涡轮院, and the program further moved on with Liyang and Guiyang too along with the aforementioned two.

General
A patent document from Taihang National Laboratory on a stealth nozzle design suitable for carrier V/STOL aircraft. If anyone has access to the full patent document, please share.
Illustrations from the patent.
People obsessed with schlong measuring contests on “maximum thrust at sea level” should take a look at actual important specs for engine performance and associated challenges.
IIRC, the WS-15 and WS-19 are both listed/classified as 4th-generation low-bypass turbofan engines, although that's based on their T/W ratio and not turbine inlet temperature.
That means if the 5th-gen engines are VCE/ACE-based, then what are 6th-gen engines meant to be?
WS-15/WS-19 is in same category class Engine means 5th gen according to western standards like J-20 but in Chinese books they count as 4th but i think in this press conference they go with the flow. following standard procedure what we all know..
remember, China's next gen engine will have thrust to weight ratio 15.. this is likely the engine they are talking about as 6th gen Engine.
one more thing, this 2400K TIT is not standard for next gen Engine, this is normal development cycle in Gas turbine industry. if i m correct, both GE/PW have 2400k material but still not yet commercial.
China Engine Material also reached at 2000k and 2400k is in advance phase of development.
