According to the leader of 毛发党, the WS-15 has just finished the ground testing, and it is ready to pass the test on the IL-76 platform. While the current J-20A uses the AL-31FM2, a special customized edition of the AL-31, also a joint development between China and Salut, just like the GT25000.
While many people in the CD would purposely discard the news about the WS-15, they would only select the information that suits their own agenda. The guy's words were gold when he claimed that J-20 "undoubtedly" used the AL-31F, but those anti-Taihang trolls suddenly thrash him now because he has revealed the good news about the WS-15.
BTW, the revealing specs of the WS-15 seems to be surprising, it looks that China is aiming for a 180KN and TWR 11 high specs fifth gen turbofan jet engine.

The WS-15 seems to pass the ground testing by August 9th 2015.
Indeed no offence ... but first the tanks on the J-20 and now Your confirmation concerning an AL-31FN-version, that really made my day !
Like I said since so long: similar to the once and long still secret original AL-31FN for the J-10 the CAC chose a similar approach for the J-20. And since these are not exact AL-31FN Series 3, they were never mentioned or included in the number of engines reserved for the J-10B and J-10C.
Would be interesting to know the specific thrust of this engine. If it follows the regular FM2 about 145kN should be assumed.

The openly circulated images of 2011 show it has already tested 2 different types of engines at least. Note the right engine at the second photo appears very different to those AL-31. When taking off, its divergent nozzle provides same trust as the left one.

Learning Chinese is very easy.
Yes but relying on Google Translator in such matters would result in disaster hence asked so I can understand better.
