Uh if you want to make assessments based on public information look at parts being shown in trade shows and read publicly published papers on engine components and materials. What you’re proposing is like trying to judge a country’s semiconductors based on its smartphone models rather than its fab capabilities.

Your methodology is problematic at best.
To be honest, I don't know the source of the so-called WS-15 overturning the original design and making a comeback. The news I heard is that WS-15 has always followed the normal R&D and production process.
I dont know who came up with such funny "excuse"`````lol
The delay of 15 was technical, had nothing to do with WS10's development
Please do enlighten us. What was the technical reason for the delay.
optimizing bypass chambers and composite materials``````
CCTV-7 just ran a juicy 8 minute segment on the certification process of AES-100 turboshaft engine
Starts at about 9:00. Shows the fragments containment test, a vibration test, and the 3,000 hours TBO test.
The fragments containment test, which involved cutting off the power shaft when the engine was running at maximal load, was quite spectacular to look at.

Can anyone here provide this fellow with the source of the claim that WS-15 was delayed due to improvements afforded to it by the unexpected high performance of the WS-10 later variants so his mind can finally be freed from the instinct of immediately gravitating towards the simplest and most common answer? Seeing as how I got 19 likes on it, I'm convinced that my memory serves me properly and didn't fabricate it or remember it incorrectly.
@siegecrossbow @Blitzo @Deino @latenlazy Anybody remember the source?
And you know this because?
What's up with the randomly strewn about backticks everywhere?

Think it was one of those stray Shilao or Yankee comments lol. Will be hard to track down. But the irony of what rcrmj thinks the actual reason is is that it does not contradict the claim that the engine got delayed because they decided to continue improving the tech rather than get a product out sooner lol.

Is this claim correct or known by all here that ws-20 is equivalent to 1990s engines. or is there a catch? if this statement is true without caveats than, there is reason to worry I think.
