Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

[clarkgap]

Then it cannot be a generation ahead of the WS-10.

Even the WS-10A2 used by the J-16 is 135KN.

WS-10 IPE is still under developing. J-20 can not use it.

but ther are lots prove that specially design for J-20 higher thrust version called WS-10B

Yep, the WS-10B and WS-10 are two different generations.

As a standalone new generation, the performance of the WS-10B must have some significant improvement.

The 117 is also a family member of the AL-31 family, and if the 117 can reach 15 tons of thrust, then why not the WS-10B? It is a generation ahead of its predecessor.

Do we know how much thrust this new WS-10B has? What do the insiders say?

Yes, this is WS-10 IPE. Bue some sources indicate that this project does not follow the schedule.

Last year's Zhuhai show had unveiled the 140KN WS-10B.

And the thrust for all WS-10 variants is between 120-140KN， so the WS-10B still got a lot potential for the optimization to improve its thrust.

not WS-10 IPE bro its in development WS-10B is not WS-10 IPE bro, WS-10B is version specially design for J-20

Pupu apparently said that the new WS-10 variant has a thrust of around 14 tonnes ...

not WS-10 IPE bro its in development WS-10B is not WS-10 IPE bro, WS-10B is version specially design for J-20

WS-10 IPE has a thrust of over 150kN and is finalizing development currently ...

Pupu apparently said that the new WS-10 variant has a thrust of around 14 tonnes ...

So the initial batch of the J-20A2 will equip the 140KN one, while the later ones will have the 155KN.

Just like the earlier J-11B got the 120KN one, while the later ones got the 135KN one.

give me source or something on this bro

The latest image (September 2017) indicated that since early 2017 a J-20A prototype has been fitted with two indigenous WS-10X turbofan engines featuring stealth nozzles with saw tooth edges, suggesting the Chinese engine technology has become mature enough to finally have the Russian engines replaced.

Congratulations

Over 150KN will be after the optimization for the WS-10B, just like they did to the WS-10.

give me source or something on this bro

After the optimization, the most primitive version of the WS-10B will be around 140KN.

Just like the most primitive version of the WS-10 is around 120KN, while the optimized one has been improved to 135KN.

@ChineseTiger1986 can you confirmed WS-10 IPE has thrust of 150kn and is under development

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

@ChineseTiger1986 can you confirmed WS-10 IPE has thrust of 150kn and is under development

The current one is 140KN, and after the optimization, the improved version will have the potential to exceed 150KN.
