FC-31 production variant will be powered by WS-13 and later variant WS-19. PAF will wait for FC-31 before deciding to buy this or J-10CE. Although PAF has policy for only single engine fighter, if FC-31 is good, PAF will allow special exemption especially if the WS-13 could be shared with newer...

Praising J-20B with WS-15 having higher thrust than SR-71 engines is called assumption to you? Where did you get the idea that WS-15 consume more fuel than SR-71? Think you have problem reading & interpreting. SR-71 is serious fuel guzzler due to having turbojet and no fighter with turbofan...

From US military encyclopedia ofcourse. Maybe you guys don't pay to view US military encyclopedia that contains detailed information. I doubt you have ever read Jane's, Maris encyclopedia that contain detailed specifications of every aircraft variant they could have. Your reading from free...

F-22 maximum speed and thrust are classifieds but the fuel consumption in lbs per second is not. In US fighters inventory and Russian fighters up to Su-27/30 and Mig-29, the F-22 is most fuel thirsty on military dry thrust burning close to 20lb per second, more than F-14A+ & earlier F-15C on...

What's with the guy's grudge on you for this comparison? Do you have any information on J-20A WS-10C engine? From articles you read so far on WS-10C, do you think the thrust is at 32,000lb same as Su-35BM or 35,000lb? In comparison of empty/max to weights from Wikipedia: J-20 - 42,750lb /...

Depends on its maximum military trust in thrust to weight ratio. If WS-10C could generate more than 20,000lb dry thrust per engine, with J-20 loaded take off weight around 60-70,000lb, it should be able to cruise faster than 1.2, 1.5 at high altitude. F-22 has about 23,000lb dry thrust per...

Thanks for the information. Glad that only obsolete J-7 being phasing out for good Thanks for the information. Glad that only obsolete J-7 being phasing out for good

If you can't stick to proper debate, you shouldn't be on forum. Stupid applies to you as only stupid can't stick to proper explanation with facts. If you talk like this in real world especially at work, you'll be receiving warning letter. Probably you did due to serious attitude issue If the...

This is not conspiracy but facts. Why do you think the purpose of J-20 having built-in FLIR pod similar to F-35 underneath the nose radome for? That is for search and destroy purpose allowing J-20 to designate ground targets. F-14A/B, F-15C & F-22 don't have FLIR pods because their roles are...

J-10C is only good for home border patrol and air to ground search & destroy roles more towards defensive. The J-20A has the combat radius to cover larger area and ideal for offensive. If J-20A willing to forgo stealth could carry far more air to ground armaments and with the FLIR pod, it could...

That's why USAF & USN need twice or 3x more F-35 to complete the roles of few F-15E, F-16C or F/A-18E. F-22 and F-35 aren't multi-role fighters if they aren't going to carry external payloads. In past wars, US has been superior than the countries it attacked therefore US requirements for...

Guess PLAAF will have to change the eagle logo.

China combined F-22 and F-35 roles into 1 where J-20 could perform multi-role. Unlike F-35 that carries just 2x JDAMs & 2x AIM-120C7 or 4x JDAMs without air to air missiles at all, the J-20 could carry 4 heavy bombs or air to ground missiles while having 2x PL-10E in sidebays for self defense...

J-20 is made to perform roles of F-22 and F-35A having FLIR pod for designating ground targets and large main internal bays to carry air to ground missiles and guided bombs. You could use it for air to air an air to ground, it's multi-role fighter that could fly fast at high altitude or low...

Turns out to be this old obsolete bomber instead of H-20

If Chengdu fitted WS-10B on J-20 prototype instead of AL-31, the J-20 prototype and J-20A would have 30,000lb reheat thrust, that's 1000lb more compared to weaker AL-31. The reason why AL-31 was fitted mainly because there were more AL-31 engines available compared to WS-10B at that time. WS-10B...

Depends on how much thrust the WS-10C generate. If it gets 32,000-35,000lb then it is adequate for 2 seater. Actually the maximum dry thrust is important as the fighter would not go afterburner most of the time. If maximum dry thrust good enough to lift the loaded weight, then everything is...

China made Tor SA-15 Gauntlet? Just done reading details found on google. It should be way better than original Russian Tor system with ability to interlink detection from other radars to counter low flying drone that could easily hide between uneven mountainous terrain such as in Armenia but...

Typo error from Minnie probably

Which variant WS-10 will be fitted on J-15B? B, C or new variant?
