Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

[no smoking]

You underestimate how long it takes to get an engine to a ready state.

Unless we are expecting the WS-15 test on J-20 will last for over 5 years, it will be waste to install another engine to fill this gap.

Care to expalin? I already had an image of J-10A no. 61022 already one year ago but I'm still allowed to post it. So I never questioned the 1st AB at Anshan flies them, it is only the first leaked image.

Going back a few pages but could not figure this out - is there a difference between saying J-20 and J-20A? IPA vs Serial production?

J-20A for WS-10 equipped J-20. Not official I don't believe but accepted terminology among watchers community.

Now that engine is no longer a bottleneck you’ll be seeing them popping up in every theater command.
