IMO clearly too small far the WS-19. more like an engine for a stealthy UAV
Not if it is a model.
Hopefully it's the WS-19 mockup. Would fit the J-35 quite well given that the J-35's stealth shaping design is basically a scaled down F-22 with DSI. The 2D TVC would be a welcome feature on WS-19. Perhaps going with a similar petal design as F-22 shows it is the best path towards optimising stealth of the aircraft. We'll see how WS-15 petals are like with J-20. The known image of WS-15 shows it is going to be like the WS-10C with serrations. Perhaps the J-20's overall stealth shaping means that type of nozzle design is actually stealthier than going with F-22's. After all, with stealth it is certainly not a situation where one design type is always stealthier than another. It depends on everything else around it. WRT J-20 and J-35 differences, it makes sense that J-35's goes with F-22's petal design.
Either way we'll know soon enough when the placard is up.
Haven't been able to find the video you're referring to on this thread. Since it is relevant to this thread, do you mind linking it?
Thanks!
damn ..
as per the CCTV, this is high-thrust, low-fuel consumption, high-bypass ratio twin-rotor turbofan engine AEF1300 independently developed by AECC made its debut.
Weibo fans are saying this is WS-20 ..
but it looks like CJ-1000A new name. and this is the first time AECC display real civil engine with nacelle.
