5 أبريل تم نشر الصور الأولى بوضوح تظهر J-20 الجيل الخامس اختبار الطيران المقاتل WS-15 محركات الجيل المقبل. شوهد المقاتل لأول مرة وهو يطير بالمحرك في 20 يناير
April 5 the first images were published clearly showing the J-20 fifth generation fighter flight testing WS-15 next generation engines. The fighter was first seen flying with the engine in January 2022, with multiple further sightings having been made since, although all images before April 2023 were of poor quality and left much to speculation. While it was confirmed that a J-20 prototype has been flight testing the WS-15 it is now known that the aircraft is the second prototype - airframe number 2012. Whether other prototypes have also been used to flight test the WS-15 remains uncertain. Six J-20 prototypes appeared from October 2012 until November 2015, with these having been preceded by two technology demonstrators which appeared from December 2010. No. 2012 was the second prototype and the fourth overall pre production airframe. With serial production J-20s being delivered to the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force from late 2016 using stopgap Russian AL-31FM2 engines, which were subsequently replaced by the WS-10C from mid 2019, the WS-15 has been referred to as bringing the fighter to its “ultimate form” and was the powerplant the aircraft was intended to integrate from the very beginning of the program.
