WS-10 ( J-16 )
This is the first time such footage has been released by an official agency.

It's still a marvelous product. Making a working jet engine isy most difficult task in the world.... Even more difficult than making atomic bomb and exploring moon service.

Comparison of the external dimensions of engines used in the world's major fighter jets.
Chinese turbofan engines:
WS-21/19. Comparable in size to the RD-33 series of engines.
WS-10. comparable in size to AL-31 series engines.
WS-15. a bit shorter than WS-10.

The internal structure of the WS-21 engine(1:1 model) was publicly displayed.
This model reveals that the WS-21 engine's structure differs from the original RD-33 engine.
1. It utilizes a "3711" internal structure, while the RD-33 series engines utilize a "4911" configuration.
2. It is approximately 200-250mm longer than the RD-33 engine.

finally I found an image to help tell Chinese engines apart from the WS-10 variants to the WS-15 and WS-19, only thing missing is WS-13 variants and WS-21. lol
And it is not entirely correct or complete! The J-10B's engine is the TVC-special version WS-10B3, the standard WS-10 above is in fact the latest WS-10B Series 3 aka WS-10D, the regular WS-10A is missing like the original WS-10B and the WS-10C2 is also not shown.
And the WS-20 is IMO irrelevant in this list.
I'll try to find a better one ...
