Pardon if this was posted before.
that's the first FWS15 core engine with the intake, bypass duct and nozzle installed.:china:
it ran for the first time in April 2005 . approximately 2 years after that,the FSD program was officially launched.

Apologies if I'm being a bit daft, but which end of the WS-15 image on the chart is the nozzle and which one is the inlet? (like.. the right end or the left end?
)Please and thank you
(Also, whichever end the nozzle is, it looks like it isn't particularly stealthy - the F-119 has that unique rectangular TVC nozzle which has lots of serrations. From what I can see here, if that pic does indeed display the WS-15, then it's nozzle looks like it currently doesn't emulate the same stealthy physical design. Dang)

the black section is an inlet. intalling those is just for core engine tests(to simulate the conditions )
