While not the first time the WS-15 has powered the J-20, footage shows the fighter flying with one WS-15 and an older engine model in 2022 during testing. After years of delays in China's efforts to develop an advanced fighter jet engine domestically, having two installed marks a sign of maturity for the cutting-edge turbofan.
