Engine is likely done and in testing /extensive use to check for issues.
If you look back you can see Owj engine at the time of Ahmadinejad adminstration yet it was officially unveiled under Rouhani admin.
Work on designing heavy turbo fan engines with 34000 to 35000 pounds thrust has been started.
آغاز طراحی موتور توربوفن در داخل کشور
This is quite an impressive spec for this engine. For reference, I think the F-35's engine gives out 40,000 ib of thrust. This engine is much more powerful than the RD-33... So imagine two of these engines powering Iran's fighter jet project.
I am a little upset we're only in the designing phase but given this is such a big development, I am overall very happy.
even if its a passenger engine I'll be very happy with it. to be honest I'd be far more happier than if it was a military engine.It is more likely than not a high bypass turbofan engine meant for Passenger airliners and if so 35,000 lbf is really not that much
old 747's fly with JT9D and depending on the variant they have anywhere between 40,000lbf - 55,000lbf of Max Thrust and A380 have engines with a max trust of over 80,000 lbf
So 35,000lbf is more likely a High bypass turbofan engine similar to the Russian PS90's that power the Tu-204's and Il-76 and 96 variants
even if its a passenger engine I'll be very happy with it. to be honest I'd be far more happier than if it was a military engine.
As said Vevak the fact that iranians are developing civil jet engines that is more difficult to produce than military's ones, it means that their military's jet engine is already operational. Seeing the amazing chinese progress, prowess, because China with its WS-15 is already enough mature. Chineses had been helping iranians to do so, and in the very near future, a new iranian RD-33 looking like WS-13E will be seen next. Chinese could become the main iranian's weapon provider. The Bavar 373, as many iranian anti stealth radars are the consequence chinese's help to Iran.I am a little upset we're only in the designing phase but given this is such a big development, I am overall very happy.

At first Sir, Iam not chinese, and it is not my FC-31 -not J-31-, but chinese's new fighter. Moreover, when U see Germany gave up the the F-35, it does mean that this aircraft is very far to be amazing. If you regard the appraisals about its using above the Middle East's theater, it is far to be shine. Aside the FC-31, Iam far to be agree about what U said concerning chinese's help to Iran, however it is a forum, and everybody deserves to think, to say how he feels. My hope is to see next Iran to defeat US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel. Iran can afford it, but it lacks of a fleet of fighters. If only Iran can develop an RD-33 it would be a very good beginning.Even your J-31 is nothing more than a poor man’s F-35. China is hardly a friend of Iran and certainly no ally.
Let's hope U are right.Iran already has its powerful engine, it is already manufactured.
