Great comparison of both a J-10C powered by the WS-10C and a J-10B powered by the AL-31FN.

Is there now official specs of Ws-10 available especially mtbo, thrust to weight ratio, specif fuel consumption etc and how many operational hours on the type now

does it at least matches al-31 specs exceeding will make sense as well as 80/90 developed vs 2000/2010 developed engines ?

About 3 years ago, I said here J10c is called J10c becuase of the use of ws10 engine. If I remember right back then deino said I am the only person had this belief.

I think the designation J-10C was never in question - even three years ago - esp. since it is written all over the aircraft's fuselage, wherever You see a construction number. I think - must I must admit, I'm not entirely sure anymore - you were claiming already three years ago, all J-10C were using the WS-10B, which was clearly not the case.

Anyway, You posted the first image of a Batch 05 J-10C and what surprises me, is that CAC indeed changed the engines right in the middle of Batch 04, so that there are AL-31FN and WS-10B powered ones within the same Batch.

5 batches of possibly 75 aircraft each? That's a lot of PESA/AESA radars.:)


I don't think these were all that large: Batch 01 aka J-10B) was said to comprise only about 54-56 aircraft, Batch 02 had indeed at least 75 aircraft (but I somewhere read these are always even numbers) abut for Batch 03 I only know 03.28 as the highest number, whereas Batch 04 has 04.40
