The War Zone must be suffering from whiplash.

If rumors or Xi'an are true they'd better rename the site Copenhagen next week…

Why engines?
They're arguably the most (likely) understood part of the whole reveal.

I'm not talking about the engines for this specific aircraft, I'm talking about the Chinese aeroengine industry overall and the baseline expectations and operating assumptions for them.

Might be more suited for the Chinese engines thread, but what were your baseline expectations (program timeframe and maturity) on the Chinese aeroengine industry and how did they change with the 3-engine J-XD reveal?

So recall previously some people here were analysing the image of SAC prototype and saying by adjusting the gamma they can see inconsistent amount of noise around the prototype so it must be photoshopped?

Do we need to revisit the validity of that technique?

My expectations have not changed with the 3 engine J-XD/J-36 reveal because we don't know much, if anything about its powerplants.

No trolling here, just replying to an asinine comment. You do realise all jet engines smoke?

It was likely dumping excessive fuel before landing. You can see the chase plane making a turn so it would land after the J-XS.

Thank you for explaining

Regarding the powerplants - Since we know that the WS-15-equipped J-20A (and maybe J-20S too) is expected to enter serial production in 2025, perhaps at least a couple of the engine production lines have been converted/in the process of conversion from WS-10C production to WS-15 production by now.

I wouldn't be surprised if both the J-XDC and J-XDS took off within the past week (20 - 27 December) with WS-15 engines from the get go. That said, it might be safer to be conservative until more concrete information comes to light.

I was watching it live and saw all the comments scrolling by when it happened. Besides the "yes MSS officer these guys right here" there were also lots of people saying they could tell who ever wrote that must have a lot of respect for Yankee's reliability. With commets like "that 'even' part is saying a lot".
