China's J-20 Stealth Jet Aircraft is Now Equipped with a New Homemade Engine

China demonstrated its J-20 jet, dubbed the "Mighty Dragon," at the Zhuhai airshow in China. The fighter jets were powered by a WS-10C engine manufactured in China.

This development is noteworthy since it demonstrates China's ability to manufacture its own components.

Since 2017, the J-20 has been in development. The development began ahead of schedule as a result of "then-President Donald Trump's incitement of concerns of an unexpected clash with Washington."

The J-20 seen in Zhuhai with the WS-10C engine is not the J-20B, which commenced mass production in July 2020 with the addition of a fourth production line by Chengdu Aircraft Corporation.
