WS-15 should be ready soon after J-20 joins service. J-31 on the other hand has a problem, because there isn't really a Chinese or Russian engine that's appropriate. Russians don't have a 5th gen aircraft that needs an engine a full generation ahead of RD-33. So, you either go with an underpowered solution or keep waiting.Fenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351872761178293322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810814791836407713.post-44080923763013620282014-10-27T03:23:03.376-07:002014-10-27T03:23:03.376-07:00Could the closer ties with Russia that we are seei...Could the closer ties with Russia that we are seeing lead to more co-operation on Russian engine supply . It might speed up production of J-20 and J-31 . Until at least the Chinese engines are fully developed .Ozsteve53https://www.blogger.com/profile/02912813770543652718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810814791836407713.post-67041503702391116492014-10-26T20:15:57.836-07:002014-10-26T20:15:57.836-07:00Actually it was KJ-500 not Y-8FQ part o that photo...Actually it was KJ-500 not Y-8FQ part o that photo set.<br /><br />Just as important, of course, but yeah it was an AWEC not an MPA.Rick Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100965365056470588noreply@blogger.com
