As the final and most critical major pre-production test or the final Certification Test finished, we expect the F110 grade engine soon will be ready to enter mass production to power J11 and then J10 😎

Also the J11B equipped with twin WS10A underwent all tests smoothly. So we soon will see the new plane fly high.
