how do you know that? what new information you got? 210kn is my minimum wet thrust for WS-15. This is not the figure I really want to say. To reveal it, would really upset the chinese government.

By the way, Deino has banned me permanently on the J-20 thread.

I was trying to be conservative, but the WS-15 with the sawed nozzle is definitely more powerful than the flat one.

you mean the engine on the 2021 version of J-20?

Yes, Mr. Daokou has also acknowledged the sawed nozzle version, but he still insists that the flat nozzle one is also the legit WS-15. So, I tend to think the sawed nozzle one is the WS-15-2, while the flat one is WS-15-1.

Professor 宋心之 claimed that the sawed nozzle one is 180KN. I think he was deliberate not revealing the true power of the WS-15, since he didn't have any permission from CPC either.

Except with the sawed edge, you will see that the engine of the prototype 2021 is almost identical to the engine of the J-20 showed up in Zhurihe parade. I am now inclining toward the WS-15-1 and WS-15-2 theory.

even Mr. Daokou is sticking to the conventional claim that WS-15 has maximum thrust of 180kn. if he claims a higher number, the government would shut down his website.

all webpages that i used to reference that WS-15 has 210kn or even greater has since disappeared. the chinese government does monitor PDF and other forum.

The crystal blade of the WS-15 is much more resilient and can sustain much higher temperature than that of the F135, since it was confirmed by China's aviation boss 林左鸣. So now it makes sense why the WS-15 is so much more powerful than the 190KN F135. I think the newest crystal blade of the WS-15 can withstand a melting point of 2200 degree Celsius, while that of the F135 can only withstand at 1700-1800.

China is also extremely strict on the leak about the nuclear supercarrier, since China's third aircraft carrier is likely nuclear powered with the EMALS. Even Mr. Daokou is not allowed to say a further word about the nuclear propulsion, he is only allowed to reveal the truth about the EMALS.
