The WS-10 or WS10 (Woshan 10), codename Taihang, is a turbofan engine, developed by the China Aviation Industry Corporation in the 1980s. After almost 20 years, it was finally installed by the People's Liberation Army Air Force in their J-10 and Shenyang J-11 fighter aircraft. The new WS-10A, reported to be an impressive 13,200kg thrust turbofan, could be in service in about 5 years. At the Zhuhai 2002 show a photo was released of a J-11 alleged to have been modified to test one WS-10A.^[1]
