well 3rd block of J10C is out nothing yet

J10D? unlikely

Could just be they use it for demonstration purposes like this airshow, showcases Chinese engineering which in return helps aviation industry

How much practical implementation this has remains to be seen, as of now the rest of international industry never really has produced this concept for operational use

You forgot the F35

A surprise participant in the flying display of this year’s Airshow China is a Chengdu J-10B testbed equipped with a thrust vectoring control (TVC) engine.

The aircraft is likely powered by an advanced version of the indigenous Shenyang WS-10 engine equipped with a hinged nozzle.

Thrust vectoring can improve a fighter’s maneuverability, as it need not rely wholly on aerodynamic control surfaces. The appearance of the aircraft, and the very fact it was allowed to appear, could suggest a growing sense of confidence in China about domestically produced jet engines,.

The short display was reminiscent of flying displays performed by other fighters with thrust vectoring, such as the Sukhoi Su-35 and Lockheed Martin F-22. Trailing pink smoke, the J-10B TVC’s routine included tight vertical loops, a slow high angle of attack roll, a cobra maneuver, and the falling leaf.

Primary applications for the WS-10 include the J-10 family and the J-11 – a Chinese copy of the Sukhoi Su-27. The other powerplant for the J-10 family is Russia’s Saturn AL-31FN, which is based on the AL-31F that powers the Su-27.

Advanced Chinese fighters such as the J-20 and FC-31 lack thrust vectoring. Only a small number of fighters use the technology, notably the F-22, Su-30, Su-35, and Su-57.

The original version of the J-10, the J-10A, also appeared in the flying display, as it is used by the August 1st display team. The most advanced version of the J-10, the J-10C, did not make an appearance. That variiant is distinguishable by an additional missile approach warning system (MAWS) on the tail. In addition, it has an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar.

It is not clear if thrust vectoring will be applied to future members of the J-10 family.

Even flight global has something positive to say!

Notice the short description of the flight This guy Greg Waldon like his other peers has been for years bad mouthing Chinese engine. Notice Andrew Erickson now stop writing bad review about Chinese Engine! I went to his website and glee with satisfaction Dafengcao feed

But they cant help comparing see this

Now after the kick ass performance suddenly they are short of words. You see this type I notice we also has this type in our forum constantly comparing to the west performance forgetting China is still developing country with GDP/capita of 300$ just 25 years ago and the University didn't reopen until 1980's

No more this meme "Chinese engine suck"
