Okay, so they are basically up to 75 J-20s a year if we anticipate a few more produced for this batch. That's crazy high and way more than the optimistic 45 to 50 a year that I had projected earlier this year. Basically 1.5 per line per month and 4 lines -> 6 a month. I didn't anticipate them to reach this rate until like 2027. This should significantly lower the cost of J-20 production.
Also, it means China is procuring more J-20s a year than America is procuring F-35s
Unbelievable, they might get to close to 100 a year if they can add another production line and further optimize the production line. We are still in Nov, so they will probably get to 190 J-20s by the end of this year and close to 350 by the end of 2024 and 500+ by end of 2026.
Amazing what they can done once WS-10C production got ramped up.

Aren't they using WS-10C，or you mean WS-15?
All j-20 in service should be using ws-10 at the moment, there is only one picture suggested that one of its engines may be ws-15 was was spotted at cac
I mean they are only able to mass produce j20 because they started using ws10c. No chance they can do this if still using al31fn. They must be producing 300 ws10 a year at this point.
Rumor has it that the demand for WS-10 is so high that Liming has outsourced components to other firms in AVIC.
Indeed it's not been mentioned on this forum as far as I know that WS-10 production rate has scaled up so well. It went from supplying only upgraded J-11B and new J-16s to now supplying: J-20 (seems to be PLA's main fighter production line now), J-10C, J-16, and J-16D.
Somehow they are making on average nearly 1 WS-10 engine per day. You have to remember that spares are also bought and produced. Can imagine how many production lines are making WS-10 components to achieve a rate approaching 1 engine per day averaged out throughout a year.
And some internet Indians and Anglos still to this day do not believe China has even made a working F110 class low bypass turbofan. LOL. 12+ years in service f*ckers! On three separate platforms and possibly others.
Also hear some Indians still use the line "China bought Su-35 so J-20 is rubbish". China is building nearly as many J-20s per month as China has purchased Su-35 ... ever... back in the 2010s no less lol.
oh and ... those J-20 engine photos look amazing. The surface build quality is also second to none it seems. F-35 being the only one that comes close... not even F-22 feature this level of surface worksmanship.

It is possible that, according to AVIC's 2TH annual report, liming's engine turnover in the first half of the year increased by 98.72% year-on-year. That number is kind of crazy.
its not like that. Shenyang's components suppliers have increase production by many folds in 2021. as WS-20 production begun too.
both WS-10 and WS-20 have same suppliers in most of components.
it took Shenyang 5 years to build pulse assembly line. so a single unit of engine production time reduced by 2/3
