More close up pictures of the improved version of "WS-10" at the Air Show China
This maybe the clearest picture of WS-10 engine i've ever came across
WS-10A, a version rarely entered service.

is there any ws-13 supercruise project going on to power FC-31???? i heard from a very strong source from china
J-10 1004, I supposeRarely means at least a few are operational ?? ... Do You know on what type - I presume a Flanker ? - and maybe even within what unit?
Only WS-10 and WS-10B possess upper casings.Based on ( @grey boy 2 ) post # 333 ... ... ( Thousands Thanks to @grey boy 2 -- for all your Awesome Pictures )
Sorry, @星海军事 ... ...
WS-10A engines have Gear Box on Top for J-11 series.
Is that a mistake or ... ... you meant ( WS-10B ) ... ( Gear Box @ Bottom for J-10 - A, B, C ) ??

@星海军事 @Deino
Many thanks for your efforts.
By < Upper Casing > ... ... did you mean engine Gearbox ?
I thought -- it has been widely accepted that WS-10 / TaiHang engines
designation for all iterations are ... ...
1.) WS-10A is using Top / Upper Gearbox for Flankers.
2.) WS-10B is using Bottom Gearbox for J-10 A, B, C
Does PLAAF use this kind of TaiHang engine designation as shown below ?
WS-10A-G1 and WS-10B-G1 --- G = Gai = Iteration
WS-10A-G2 and WS-10B-G2
WS-10A-G3 and WS-10B-G3
G1, G2, G3 = version ( 1, 2, 3, ... ... and so on )
I think, by latest upgrade of the WS-10, you mean WS-10B.But that does not make sense !??? ... the J-10A 1004 is as far as I know long retired, so why testing the latest upgrade of the WS-10 in the probably oldest available J-10A ? Wouldn't be at first a twin-engine design a much better testbed ?
That too contradicts all we know: The WS-10A is clearly the one used by the Flanker versions and this one has the upper-mounted gear-box.
