Initial production units of China's fifth-generation fighter aircraft, the CAC J-20, are powered by the Russian-origin Saturn AL-31FN engines. However, from 2022, reports indicated that the Shenyang WS-10 Taihang turbofan engine is also being installed in the J-20s as an interim powerplant. The WS-15 is intended to replace both of these engines in the J-20. (Janes)

An official of China's Aero Engine Corporation of China (AECC) has said that the country's Shenyang WS-15 engine for fighter aircraft is ready for mass production.

中国航空发动机总公司（AECC）的一位官员表示，中国用于战斗机的沈阳WS-15发动机已准备好大规模生产。

 

Speaking during the Seventh China Aviation Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition (CAIEC) in March, Zhang Yong, a project director of AECC's Beijing Institute of Aeronautical Materials, said that from “a technical point of view” the institute has “tackled all bottlenecks” associated with the production of the WS-15 engine.

在3月举行的第七届中国航空创新创业大赛（CAIEC）上，AECC北京航空材料研究所项目主任张勇表示，从“技术角度”来看，该研究所已经“解决了与WS-15发动机生产相关的所有瓶颈”。

 

“The mass production of WS-10 and WS-15 [engines] delivery has been achieved. Materials screening and verifications have been finalised,” Zhang said.

张勇说“WS-10和WS-15（发动机）的交付已经实现批量生产。材料筛选和验证已经完成，”。

 

The CAIEC was held from 16 to 17 March, according to China Central Television (CCTV), the Chinese state-owned broadcaster.

据中国官方广播公司中央电视台报道，CAIEC于3月16日至17日举行。
