This thread is for the new SAC next gen combat aircraft/fighter/J-XD/J-36

Previous thread here

PLA next/6th generation fighter thread

@Blitzo … shall we divide that thread into one for CAC‘s and one for SAC‘s Design? I think we might have to. I will create two new threads and lock this one. For Chengdu's aircraft: https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/t/chengdu-next-gen-combat-aircraft-j-36-thread.9157/ For Shenyang's...

What engine is J-XS flying with? (Yes I think calling it J-XS for this one and J-XC for the other makes things easier)

The OpeSEC around both these platforms were amazing, especially this one. No one knew anything about this one and if flew some days ago.

The other one had stuff leaked about for like a month before the first flight.

J-XS is the more surprising event.

Since it has the 2D TVCs, the only engines we've earlier seen with those are WS10C. On the other hand theres also nothing saying nozzles couldn't be integrated on WS15.

There were some rumors saying WS10Cs would be used for at least 1 of the projects in the prototype stage. It makes sense since that's the one that has readily available TVC and since the Shenyang design has TVC.

Releasing smoke might be one negative factor

I mean if you're trying to see what engines it is based on the low speed exhaust smoke, it might as well be powered with imported F119s

I'm guessing either WS-10 or WS-15, makes sense to use existing engine in prototype stage
