WS-20 is the high bypass version of WS-10

But I imagine they could use CJ-1000A when it's available too.

WS-20 is the same engine its model has been showed as SF-A.

You are correct, there are three major high bypass ratio engine projects going on.

1. Leap-X1C domestic assembly, cooperation with CFMI, primary engine for C919.

2. CJ1000A, designed with MTU, secondary engine for C919.

3. WS20, formerly known as SF-A, developed from WS10A (CFM56 core), primary engine for Y20, former backup engine of C919.

Actually, WS-20 has always been WS-20. SF-A was the civilian version of WS-20 intended for C919, but that plan was subsequently canceled because the engine would not be competitive.

back in 2006 zhuhai airshow, CATIC displayed model of twin jet transport .but by the 2008 the model dissappear,and never seen again,possible with the success of Y-20,the project likely to revive.

It's not strategic airlift. It's a giant garbage transporting plane made by china! Or it must be a giant movie prop for Harry potter 11.

There. your wish is answered

The longer range of 9,000KM - 9,600KM is done with 2 refuelings as stated in the illustrations.

It will serve PLAAF within the country just nicely with its flight range on internal fuel alone, coveing entire nation from North-South (Harbin to Guangzhou) and East-West (Shanghai to Lhasa).
