So the MATV type is the one currently being tested on the J-10?
Look at the military attire, if it's during Uncle Jiang's time, it meant they had a functioning prototype 15 years ago.Looks like there are two type of AVEN design, one is testing on J-10, another was operated by Chairman Jiang.
The first type of AVEN, which is testing on J-10:

Actually, it would take that long since the domestic engine was not mature enough to mount such a mechanism.It's probably just a demonstrator than an actual prototype ... it wouldn't take 15 years for China to implement TVC
I don't doubt it but I find it highly unlikely that the Chinese had a working prototype during Jiang Zemin's era ... to have a working TVC before the completion of WS-10 in the mid 2000s is unlikely. Maybe 5 years ago but 15 sounds too far of a stretch ... and it makes sense given the state of the Chinese engine industry then and now.Actually, it would take that long since the domestic engine was not mature enough to mount such a mechanism.
The first demonstrator engine CJ-1000AX completed assembly on 25.12.2017

CJ-1000A will win out over SF-A and keep ACAE as a viable and independent organization as opposed to being pulled into the larger, military oriented AECC. The competition is good for China.
Either project is historic.
What's the status of the SF-A? ... and it is developed by whom?
