Not far from what the MoDP told Anadolu Agency:
Not good until WS-13E enters full production and is fully ready to operateIf ordered nowby a foreign customer, FC-31 could enter the production as early as 2019 and achieve IOC in 2022.

One image taken in December 2013 suggested that FC-31 was testing a new silver color "stealth" nozzle similar to those onboard J-20. The 02 prototype was expected to feature "major" improvements in order to make it moreattractive to domestic/foreign customers. Those improvements include a one-piece canopy, domestic WS-13E turbofan engines, a retractable IFR probe on the starboard side, a longer and fatter fuselage, a bigger internal weapon bay, reshaped F-35 stylevertical tailfins and cropped wing tips and tailfin tips similar to those of F-22. It wasrumored that the 01 prototype powered by two upgraded WS-13E turbofan engines flew for the first time on July 1, 2016. An AVIC promotional video released at the 2016 Zhuhai Airshow indicated the 02 prototype has been built and was preparing for themaiden flight. The high-speed taxiing test of the 02 prototype started on December 18, 2016. Its first flight took place on December 23, 2016, powered by two smokeless WS-13Eengines. Currently the test flight of the 02 prototype continues at SAC. If ordered nowby a foreign customer, FC-31 could enter the production as early as 2019 and achieve IOC in 2022.Not good until WS-13E enters full production and is fully ready to operate
Yes yes i know all this , i am keeping up with every thing on FC-31 from 1 year. Now the thing is , WS-13A/E unlike the successful WS-15 engine is having some shortfalls. It will take more than 4 years yet . Even if FC-31 is exported by 2019 , the jet will be useless in terms of carrying payload.

WS-15 has chinese indigenous core which was when seen by russian engine manufacturing compane men praised it too much and called it "Innovative" tech back in 2006. WS-15 is a promising engine. RD-33 has nothing to do with Ws-13E. Core us different one again here. and for your information, ws13E is already integrated on J31V2Then just keep flying with rd33 derivative. Russian izdeliye 30 for pakfa also some years away, and thats if russian willing to export.
Is there any chinese developing their own? Not a reverse engineered one!
