New production aircraft will have new engines, but old jets won't unless engine life runs out. Considering how new many of these are, that will take a long time. Also J10 variants are close to the end of their production.

Supposedly the WS-10Ds produce in excess of 150kN, which is insane considering that this was the goal of the original WS-15; to match the PW-F119. That makes me wonder how far they can push the WS-15 and WS-19 architectures.
Wait really ? I thought 144kN is the usual "agreed" number, that's insane
What's the dry thrust though?
Is this mean WS-10D already comparable to AL-41F1S and F110-GE-132?

A 60kW turbojet-electric hybrid power system for eVTOLs. Max output is up to 80kW.

A model AEF1200 on display at the Changchun Airshow.
I wonder what power class of civilian engine it is? Is it a medium like CJ-1000A (for C919 and other narrow-bodies) or CJ-2000 (for wide-bodies like C929.)
I heard the light CJ-500 for regionals has been shelved so it could a more advanced replacement for that. But the little I heard about the AEF1200 is that it is suppose to be a heavier engine.
