J-20
The Shenyang Liming WS-10 (or WS10, meaning Woshan 10), codename Taihang, is an indigenously produced turbofan engine of the People's Republic of China. WS-10A is already being used to power J-11B. In the next year or two, China plans to use this engine to power the Chengdu J-10 aircraft that currently feature Russian Saturn AL-31FN turbofan engines.
The Saturn AL-31 is a family of military turbofan engines. It was developed by Lyulka, now NPO Saturn, of Russia (former Soviet Union), originally for the Sukhoi Su-27 'Flanker' air superiority fighter. It produces a total thrust of 123 kN (27,600 lb) with afterburning in the AL-31F, 137 kN (30,800 lb) in the AL-31FM (AL-35F) and 142 kN (32,000 lb) in the AL-37FU variants. Currently it powers all Flanker derivatives and the Chengdu J-10 multirole jet fighter which has been developed in China.
