The early model J-11B and test prototypes of J-15 are using the AL-31F.<br /><br />There is however an interesting thing that happened following a Rosoboronexport investigation.<br />In 2009 Rosoboronexport decide to launch a joint investigation together with Sukhoi Corp into the issue of unlicensed production<br />of the J-11B. Rosoboronexport then held some meetings in 2010 with Chinese authorities about the J-11B and other copyright infringement issues in relation to other military equipment.<br /><br />Around 2010, the Chinese suddenly announced that a new batch of "Block 02" J-11B's would be produced which will exclusively use the WS-10A turbofan. The Chinese also claimed that the <br />WS-10A has now overcome all quality control and reliability issues and the engine will now be used in all new J-11B's from here on. <br /><br />I find it interesting and not just mere coincidence that the meeting with the Russians has resulted in China moving ahead to produce a fully indigenous version of the J-11B.<br /><br />The Russians have also voiced concerns about the J-15 and its similarity to the SU-33.<br /><br />The Russians however have no issues with the use of the AL-31F engine on the F-10 and J-20 as these are indigenous Chinese designs.willytan1https://www.blogger.com/profile/06735555184389921640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810814791836407713.post-9546498831470556862014-10-23T13:01:39.936-07:002014-10-23T13:01:39.936-07:00except that most of the J-15s we've seen so fa...except that most of the J-15s we've seen so far and a full regiment of J-11B are definitely using AL-31F.Fenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351872761178293322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810814791836407713.post-8582890294677986302014-10-22T04:50:39.311-07:002014-10-22T04:50:39.311-07:00Great write up on the J-15S Feng.
