The new engine Shenyang WS-15 (涡扇-15) turbofan engine has reportedly entered serial production to be used in latest update to J-20. Unlike the lower thrust WS-10C and Russia's AL-31FN used in early batch J-20, the WS-15 represented a heavily enhanced variant of a fourth generation clean sheet new design which is expected to remain in production in enhanced forms past past the year 2050...This also means the J-20 production rate is no longer dependent on supply rate from Russia.
