That's a welcome news! Has mass production begun or is it going to be after incorporating the WS-15?
But @ChineseTiger1986 said that J-20B flying with WS-15 in 2017?I don't think that they will wait for the WS-15. I'm sure that J-20 will receive WS-15, but not now. Not after they start to hatched the 2101, (2102?). As changing the engine now will put the J-20 into the development phase all over again.
I think China will produce the initial batch with AL-31 engine. And only when the WS-15 ready, they'll put it into the future batches.

definitely but not that much, i think its year and a halfAnd they will test it again and again. Do you think that putting a new engine to the J-20 would mean that they'll mass produced them immediately? There will a lot of tests after that. And that mean, J-20 will back into the development phase, just like what I said in my previous post. aka, a reschedule for the mass producing phase.

So what is your estimation for J-20B to be mass produce?I won't be as optimistic as you. WS-15 is a new engine. They need to make sure that this new engine is reliable enough for the new fighters before they can accept it. And this safety test will require a lot of time to accomplished. So If they really want to skip the current version of J-20, we can expect that they will mass produce the J-20 longer than what you're predicted.
