The WS-15 (Chinese: 涡扇-15; pinyin: woshan-15; lit. 'turbofan-15') is a People's Republic of China Chinese turbofan engine designed by the Shenyang Aeroengine Research Institute and manufactured by Xi'an Aero-Engine Corporation. It is intended to power the Chengdu J-20 fighter.[1]
Design and development
Development of the WS-15 began in the 1990s.[1] The thrust target was reported as 180 kilonewtons (40,000 lbf) in 2012.[2] In 2009, it was reported that the prototype had achieved 160 kilonewtons (36,000 lbf).[3]
SF-A
The SF-A is a turbofan in development by the same group as the WS-15, and is based on the WS-15 core. In 2013, it was reported as being targeted for the Xian Y-20 strategic airlifter and the Comac C919 passenger aircraft, with a thrust of 127 kilonewtons (29,000 lbf), and was projected to enter production in 2016.[4]
